It was predictable [SEE HERE], and it happened exactly as predicted.
BlackRock investment firm writes the regulatory and economic policy for Joe Biden’s administration. That’s the quid-pro-quo that maintains the Biden political financial operation. All of DC know it. No one does not know. The ones who claim they do not know about it are all pretending. Republicans take the background BlackRock bribes and pretend.
BlackRock positioned massive investment assets inside Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and Chery. The three Chinese companies are in the process of moving North American auto manufacturing to Mexico, specifically to make EVs. The Chinese EVs made in Mexico will come into the U.S market tariff free under the USMCA trade agreement. China and BlackRock will make billions.
Today, Joe Biden announced a series of tariffs against China in the EV industry. [SEE HERE] The Chinese EVs are not being made in China. The tariff regime is a farce – a total joke.
Biden might as well be announcing tariffs on Chinese swimming pools flown into the USA via hot air balloon. There will be more Chinese swimming pools delivered from China than Chinese EVs. The Chinese EVs come from Mexico. The tariff is fake.
WHITE HOUSE […] To further encourage China to eliminate the acts, policies, and practices at issue – and to counteract the burden or restriction of these acts, policies, and practices – the Trade Representative shall modify the two actions to increase section 301 ad valorem rates of duty for the following products from China:
-
- Battery parts (non-lithium-ion batteries): Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024
- Electric vehicles: Increase rate to 100 percent in 2024
- Lithium-ion electrical vehicle batteries: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024
- Lithium-ion non-electrical vehicle batteries: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2026
- Natural graphite: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2026
- Other critical minerals: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024 (read more)
.
None of this stuff is coming from China. It is all coming from Mexico via transnational shipping and Chinese manufacturing in Mexico. [Check Date]
On the EV issue, this tariff approach is politically duplicitous by Biden against the backdrop of massive investment in Mexico by the three largest Chinese EV automakers. Last December, the three Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and Chery, announced they were going to spend billions building new EV manufacturing plants in Mexico. Each Chinese auto manufacturer was going to spend between $1.5 to $2.0 billion.
Those Mexican built Chinese EVs would pass into the USA market under current USMCA trade rules and regulations, as long as they technically meet the material origination rules. This can make tariffs against the Chinese imported EVs a moot point, because China will be making them in Mexico (North American trade agreement).
One of the reasons President Trump said the U.S. auto industry would suffer a “bloodbath,” is specifically because the current Chinese auto companies are targeting these EVs in the $10,000 or less range. If you want to see what it looks like when cheap Chinese EVs start to flood a consumer market, visit Russia – the Western sanctions have only increased this flow. I can see it clear as day.
China plans to pump out thousands of cheap, what I would consider semi-disposable, electric cars into the USA market. That’s why they have invested so heavily in Mexico. Keep in mind, BlackRock (a Biden benefactor investment firm) is enmeshed with this Chinese move.
This tariff claim, by the Biden administration on “import Chinese EVs”, is optics only for political benefit. Whereas, the 100% tariffs proposed by Donald Trump specifically target Chinese EVs made in Mexico.
Stand back and elevate your thinking on this Chinese EV issue; the substance of it is a consequence of a much larger dynamic. It is somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
There is a cleaving underway, a dedollarization that continues in global trade. Nations are no longer relying (dependent) on dollars as the baseline for trade parity; they are determining their own nation to nation trade valuations outside the use of the dollar as a benchmark.
The result of this dedollarization taking place is massive inflation inside the USA that continues as the dollar (yellow zone) is weakened against the increasingly non-dollar-aligned world (grey zone). The frequency of dollar use is lessening as alternatives are being used.
Trade into the yellow zone still requires a benchmark of dollars, but bilateral trade within the grey zone increasingly does not. This is the root of the global financial and economic cleaving. Mexico is not stupid.
China is trying to position their transportation sector (auto, planes, trains and mass transit manufacturing) as Apple manufacturing is to cell phone use. Some of these disposable Chinese electric vehicles are actually impressive, which makes sense when you consider that China steals the engineering and design elements from knuckleheaded Western corporations who use China for industrial manufacturing (see Tesla etc).
China certainly is getting its money’s worth.
$$$ – but do they take US dollars, or do we go ahead and convert it for them to something spendable?
We probably just give them land.
More specifically, Woo, I was speaking of the bought and paid for Bidens.
Joey’s errand boy, Blinken, was just there…probably getting his orders.
Is it terrible of me to be angry that he’s so old, he’ll likely die before seeing a prison cell or being permanently excommunicated and expelled from our country? He’ll stand in judgement before God…
A man who sells his country out for filthy lucre, who crosses himself at a rally for the murder of the children in utero and after, who promotes the mutilation of children, who gropes children and worse will face justice one day. Infuriating as it is we may just have to be content with that, sis.
Solomon made the same observation.
In Dante’s Inferno the ninth circle of hell is set aside for those who betrayed the special bonds of trust with those who should have expected faithfulness. At its very center were those who sold out their country. Joe Biden will be spending eternity in the ninth circle.
CS Lewis said that we can’t go back and change the beginning, but we can start where we are and change the ending.
Far be it from me to say it because I have motes in my own eye and am a sinner. But I suspect he is unfamiliar with this hopeful passage as I see no effort to recognize what a hideous wretch he is….
I doubt he even knows who Dante is or knows of this afterlife he described.
Bets,
I doubt he has any idea who CS Lewis is!
I doubt he is even aquatinted with our Constitution.
But, that’s just my take.
Probably not, mouse. As he was brought up a poor black child he no doubt would guess he was a rapper.
(To admin) Whoops
Ok by me Bets!
Reap what you sow comes to mind, of course I mean him!
Let justice rain down like a deluge.
…and righteousness like a never-ending stream.
We all pray for the deluge this November.
Given what a “horrible, agonising way to go” alxheimers/dementia is, is it innappropriate to say old Joe is getting SOME Justice while still here?
Any punishment meted out to that pos in this life would pale in comparison to the judgement/sentencing handed down by almighty God.
But I do understand the human desire to SEE the punishment.
Not just for our satisfaction but as a stark warning to the public.
Agreed.
Yep, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. More people need to have a healthy fear of God. We seem to need the recognition of a power of good far more righteous than we are, to keep us on the straight and narrow, because of our tendency to sin.
I know I do.
I’m glad he’s old. Because the way our nation functions, if he was young he was on the path to a long life of luxury on our tax money. Which he technically did anyway, but at least now it’s done. His exit is coming up with the quickness.
Gavin Newsom
Seriously. Invested a few million $ in bribes via fake fees and salaries by way of coke head Hunter, and indirect access to practically our entire country is made available to them.
Borders open, Chinese flowing through unimpeded going who knows where (I bet China knows), universities filled with them, land next to military bases bought, spy balloons with free access over the entire US land mass…just a few trifles this country with a President Trump at the helm would allow.
We are China’s….uh…well….you know…
…rhymes with “snitch”….
Mind reader 😎
😎 😎 😎 😎 😎
Sorry, should be “would NOT allow”…
(You no doubt figured out the missing word 😎)
Oh yes. ‘Twas easy to mentally edit that one… 😄
😁 😉
Again, all frivolity aside, you two,…could AI ‘sort out’ this ‘treeperism’ that we reading almost automatically mentally corrected, and is this a valuable recourse, should we have serious need to evade AI Content crawlers.
For instance, if I post “I for one would like to kiss Liz Chaney!”
Any treeper reading that, in broad context, knowing no way dutchman actually meant he wanted to kiss that toad, would mentally substitute “ll” for “ss” and continue reading.
Whereas, the take it literally AI, would simply conclude that dutchman has amorous feelings for some reptile named Chaney.
just planning ahead,…
LOL!!
. . .subservient little. . .

I figured there would be a Chinese word for it, Rob 👍🏻
Communist China spreads the money around the US colleges and universities. High Schools too.
They do get their moneys worth. just look at how dumbed down the country is.

Has anybody checked the current value of the resurrected Clinton Foundation lately?
Howdy, Baritone.
IDK if this is accurate but $$ totals seem paltry –
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/clinton-foundation/totals
The Clinton Foundation appears to have been pulled from your link or I am looking right at it. However there are some fantastic morsels on your source.
Thank you
IDK what happened but it’s still in Open Secrets:
https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/clinton-foundation/summary?id=D000032675
Opensecrets is a great site.
Oh geez I totally ignored (forgot) your greeting.😳
HOWDY WOO! 🥰 🥰
Should be a sign of things to come. Even junk Chinese EVs in the $10k range won’t be a sure thing unless the bribed trash in DC make gas so expensive and emissions rules so ridiculous people won’t have a choice but to drive the crap. No one I know has any interest in EVs, so unless there’s a whole lot more economic BS to be forced on the American public, which forces them to buy the trash, seems like the Chinese made some poor investments
I think you stumbled over the key:
“...unless there’s a whole lot more economic BS to be forced on the American public, which forces them to buy the trash...”
That’s most likely the Left’s / Globalists’ evil plan.
But a successful November election (PDJT wins) will toss a large wrench into that traitorous machine.
The government’s jackboot of economic destruction has been intentionally crushing the life out of people.
I doubt if this goes on much further, people will be able to afford even Chinese junk.
Trump gets in, it’ll all be corrected! Half a year to go, just make sure to vote! Gotta overcome the fraud! I can hardly wait ’til these college grads try to find employment! When the rubber meets the road, it won’t be pretty.
Contemplate that, as you turn off the betamax video player with the movie you were watching, to listen to some music on your 8 track for awhile.
My point; nobody ASKED all of those consumers that had purchased Betamax movies and players, or had music collections on 8tracs, whether they wanted such systems obsoleted; they just DID it.
That’s the problem with accepting a bribe. Even if it was for $1,000, they own you forever because then they have blackmail on you.
Makes one wonder who and how many more China owns.
Surely a good number who have served and are serving in Congress.
They certainly don’t amass their fortunes serving us.
Just about everything and everybody. Olympus has not fallen, she has burned to the ground. It is up to us, to fly out of those ashes. Not just as a phoenix but as a little bat out of hell too.
Blackrock and Larry Fink are the big winners.
It’s not China, per se, but the financial forces behind them that collateralize all debt, including China.
Of course, BK. Nevertheless the Bidens’ bank accounts are bulging with bribes for favours from various countries.
He and his wretched family, especially his spawn, sold us out for personal gain.
He’s an indelible stain on the face of this nation.
Winners get to write history. Biden in the history books will not be a positive in his family tree! The Bidens will be the modern Benedict Arnolds!
If there is one mercy it is that Hunter’s daughter Navy, the Biden’s granddaughter, is far far away from that morally dysfunctional family…
As if God Himself said, “Not this one.”
Absolutely , Betsy !
Good Thought for Navy 😊
Hoping Navy has the Mother’s last name also .
I pray so. I rather think she does.
Remember FINK’s degree is in political science. Blackrock is a means to an end.
China owns Larry and Blackrock. If you think differently I have to extend my condolences.
Perhaps, and $0r0$ and $chwab, as well.
In which case they are all, small bit players in the World of finance, cause the BIG financiers, have indebted the World to them, and that includes the West, China and even the Muehlahs in Iran.
Through debt a small group actually own the World.
Unless PDJT gets in, and thwarts the plan, in which case CCP shuts down those plants in Mexico reneggs on the debts, and Blackrock is stuck holding worthless paper?
Oh, except Blackrock is where 90% of IRA’s/401k’s money is parked.
Ironic how many are calling for boycotting Bud Light NIKE, Boing, etc. and yet are giving their retirements to Blackrock, to wield like a club to destroy us with.
Exactly, and Yellen’s deputy, Adeyemo, Obama’s man, born in Nigeria. They don’t even pretend to give these jobs to Americans anymore (who have ties to the country and are not merely naturalized in one generation – think Kam ala), wife of Emhoff. Interesting how this partnership is repeated over and over with only first generation, naturalized citizens and the Fink, Yellen, Emhoff crew.
He’s trying to put himself out there as “tough on China trade”.
Basically, attempting to co-opt Trump’s successful policies with same.
The Dems are counting on the fact that no- ZERO- Dem voters will fact check this.
He’s been doing this since he was “selected”, with one successful Trump Policy after another. All stuff Trump did but was never highlighted by the Lying Media. Biden pretends to do it, Media reports it.
None of this would be happening if voters weren’t so d*mn stupid.
ugh.
Many voters are not so stupid, as they are simply unaware of where to find the truth. If WE did not come to online sites such (especially) as CTH, we would also be in the dark, unaware. So, how does the truth get told???
The truth needs to get told before it’s too late. A couple of peeps to whom I recommended I recommended this site, “do not want to go there” for fear of being “found out” and targeted by our seditionist FB Lie. Very sad indeed.
Many voters are just trying to keep their head above financial waterline. Work 2 jobs, run businesses and make sure their kids are moving along as they should. Some are overwhelmed taking care of ill family members, both old and young, in addition to trying to make sure everyone gets to where they are supposed to be each day. Better yet, they have a reliable way to go and get.
Split the rabbit hairs, like many of us do here is a luxury. By the time they get to 8pm after being up since 5, they do good to have time to take a shower.
I am not speaking for myself but for some that I have watched from the sidelines.
Do they know what they are seeing isn’t right?
I get to interact with people here and there during the course of any given week. Sometimes I can bring it up and sometimes I cannot. There are even a few I really like but know the CNN, is their go to. I have now found a reaction to their worry about “that man” coming back into the WH.
Looking at them and being non pulsed and saying “oh we are all going to be just fine if Mr. Palm Beach comes back in. Regardless these taxes, immigration and the crime has to be sorted. I am not dismissive to their concern, agitated or shrill.
Have had 4 people look at me and say “you think so”? In that type of way people do when they are considering what you are telling them.
I always say that I do think we are going to be just fine. We can’t keep paying, we can’t keep letting strangers run amuck, we can’t keep overdrawing. We can’t have a bunch of people working “for the government” but have no idea who or what it is they are doing. We are paying the bills with no say so.
I know that sounds simple but it is working. I even have two of them reading on line. Not here, but I point them toward the federalist. It has enough there that they are thinking.
The ones that I am concerned about are the old guard Republicans that think the party has not left them and the status quo is hunky Dorey.
Had one seriously tell me they really liked that Nikki, she was a sharp gal. I just laughed and told them the Good Old Boys were distract him with that pretty set of marketing tools she had. Even though she has crashed and burned, they refuse to believe they do not have 3 branches, a rule of law, constitution. It is just unimaginable to them.
Those are the ones I am worried as F about and there are a lot of them.
Sad part is, you can’t correct stupid! Only eliminate it.
Media liars gatekeepers
The MSM isn’t calling it fake, they are pretending Biden is getting tough with China. Fake news 24/7.
The MSM tells their viewers that Biden ranks up there with the greatest presidents in American history, while they rank President Trump dead last.
This “historians’ survey” is 100% pure malarkey and their thinly-veiled attempt to promote utter falsehood is glaringly obvious:
https://www.npr.org/2024/02/19/1232447088/historians-presidents-survey-trump-last-biden-14th
Their “historians” survey is not even worthy of being called “malarkey.” It is an outright lie, just like their other lies i..e., Russian Collusion, The contents of the Steele Dossier, Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation…..
Does anyone listen to NPR?? I’ve never met anyone who listened to it and I’m retired….
I know a retired military guy who’s listened to it since the 1980s.
But like I posted above, there are numerous MSM sources citing this same survey as if it is accurate. NPR was the cleanest site to link. I hate giving clicks to the advertisers on the other sites.
Unfortunately my very smart friend, West Pointer, corporate exec, listens & believes
When President Trump was putting the screws to China and imposing tariffs, the MSM went crazy. They had economists on saying how bad tariffs were for the US economy, etc. I suppose they are singing a different tune now.
I quit pretending 60 plus years ago! Rude awakenings on the horizon!
Old Yeller thinks we just got off the turnip truck. The truth will never be found out.
Fake President. Fake tariffs. Yawn.
Wouldn’t it be something if Trump was running the country behind everyone’s back? I notice a lot of foreign leaders conferring with Trump out of the spotlight.
“The tariff regime is a farce – a total joke.” Just like Alzheimer’s Joe…
Trump is right once again. He said China will destroy the US automakers. Trump better come out and say something about China Joe’s fake tariffs.
Be interesting to see if he indeed does. Will be extremely disappointed if he doesn’t.
Look at Donald J Trump
Truth Social
today’s press statements
I looked and did not find anything, do you have a link ?
Never mind I found it and yes Trump is talking about it.
Sundance, The Mr. B.I.G. Guy be getting his off of this deal for sure.
So they’ve got their pretend president, pretending he’s doing something beneficial for USA….and the media will likewise follow suit and pretend he’s doing something great. They’re all putrid!
agree.
nauseating
When the deals have already been made……….it will be far easier to simply say “there is no choice, you will just have to accept reality”.
Everyone, except the top 1%, will just have to accept the same status of all the newly minted “undocumented American”.
America will become one!
I’m guessing that Mexico will assemble Chinese components.
Same thing happens at US auto “manufacturers”, and even US auto companies that assemble in Mexico – Ram (stellantis) being a prime example. We’re being hosed regardless
Not only will China be able to evade Biden’s fake tariffs, Chinese EVs assembled in Mexico should likely be eligible for a $7500/vehicle federal energy credit courtesy of the phony “Inflation Reduction Act.” Plug-in electric cars with “final assembly in North America” are eligible. Uncle Joe Biden is practically paying people to take one of those $10,000 Chi-com machines. They are of course heavily subsidized by the CCP with their long-term plan to (a) destroy what remains of the US, Japanese and European car industries and (b) put millions of electronic spy-surveillance platforms onto every highway and garage, and (c) set up the American electric grid (which they have been hacking into for years) for total collapse.
That is my guess but what is going to stop China from sending them fully assembled to Mexico then rolling them in one door of the ” factory ” and driving them out the other end ?
I knew something was amiss when I first read about this because China would never allow Biden to tariff them.
Sundance,
If we have learned anything – it is the the art of double talk. The art of understanding the UNSPOKEN word. Thank you for the excellent education.
Are you back on domestic soil? Or have we lost you forever to a more lenient locale?
If you have no idea where you are going, then there you are.
“But by the grace of God, I am what I am;” 1Cor 15:10
And where I am…
And whose I am…
Trust God. Fear not.
A prof at Aggieland once told us “if you don’t know where you are going, you will get there fast”….
“The hurrier I go, the behinder I get”?
Effing despise this admin, the republican pukes in the House, and the IQ deficient voters keeping them all in power.
Democrats will have absolutely regard to what they do to voters until the year before election. Then they are cookies and cream.
This is why the VP pick is so important. Trump is going to revamp world trade from last century’s “free trade” market to his version of a “balanced trade” market. The world can only sell us as much as they buy from us. Trade deficits disappear. Rebirth of US manufacturing, engineering, and innovation. I don’t think even most MAGA have a clue just how far reaching such a fundamental trade policy change will be. Not to mention how hard it will be fought.
But Trump only has 4 years to implement that, and it will be fought tooth and nail by all the one world forces including China, Europe, and BRICKS+. It’s real success will all depend on his successor’s determination, dedication, and ability to continue implementing the economic policy between ’28 & ’36. The opposition will pull out every stop to slow it down, and then reverse it after ’28.
The VP pick is crucial to Trump’s legacy and MAGA’s long term success.
Kari Lake for VP. I want the one who the Establishment is AFRAID of.
Unfortunately at this place and time, KL is considered extreme by many, including independents. PDJT needs somebody that the MAJORITY of voters will vote for, while at the same time is somebody who will fight for MAGA and also be his “insurance policy” against getting rid of him – like Kamala is to FJB.
If she is considered more extreme than others, it is up to us to get the truth out. I think the time has passed to try to appease anyone. That’s how Pence got his job in 2016.
Another good reason for Kari is that they won’t want anything to happen to President Trump.
I agree with you that she is a long shot in that she hasn’t held office. But what she had done once the past few years has been amazing experience. Much better, for example, than Pence’s years of being a globalist toady.
Your point well taken, MSwords. We shall wait and see.
If Lake is extreme, then what the heck is Trump?
Yeah, riiiight. Like PDJT has built MAGA the way he has by neing careful to be moderate in his approachrs, so as to not offend any of those Indies or moderate Democrats,…
Not saying anything like “Some of them are good people, I’m sure. But some are rapists and murderers”
KL has “rockstar” status with MAGA, Nationwide.
KL talks good and wears boots made to get it done and she holds her ground. She knows which way it needs to go. President Trump may not need a VP to get him many more votes than the America First crowd. I vote for TRUMP/Lake ticket.
Much as I love Kari, she will not be the VP pick. That would almost certainly put the Arizona Senate seat back in Dem hands and seriously threaten Trump’s control of the Senate. Kari is a no.
It really doesn’t matter what people think about the vice president pick it is Trump who’s gonna make the decision that decision based on his best judgement.
As an Arizonan, and as much as I like KL, I am confident there is NO WAY the same cartel that went to extraordinary lengths to steal her Gubenatorial win in 2022 and still control Az elections, will allow her to win the Senate seat in Az in 2024.
Hence, your argument is irrelevent and mute.
I agree TRUMP / LAKE 2024 and I have been shouting it for the last two years. She would be a much better pick than Vivek Ramaswamy or Tulsi Gabbard or any of the other crazy ideas I have heard in the last few days.
We do not need a female as VP. She may be tough, outspoken, competent — but she is female. Most countries in the world do not respect females. Lets get back to MANLY MEN. Trump is one. Who else?
How about Peter Navarro for VP? He would certainly know how handle trade.
Let him handle trade.
Peter is my personal favorite. I know he is a bit controversial from his early past about PT, but some people awakened.
I want Navarro to lead the IRS. Giving him that power would help President Trump to flush out the swamp.
I can hear the “jailbird” catcalls already.
Unless the 22 Amendment is found to be unconstitutional…or our USA corporation is dissolved…
How can a legally passed Amendment to the Constitution be found “unconstitutional”? We could amend the amendment or reverse it as we did prohibition …but unconstitutional …nah.
ANY change would require 38 states to ratify it and that could …would …take years, if ever. Not in this lifetime.
Trump will be out in Jan ’29. Period. Who takes his place is just as important as electing him in Nov. VP is not a beauty pageant this time around.
Trump is winning without DeSantis or Haley on the ticket. No other VP could bring as many votes as those two. So, the VP pick has zip to do with this election and everything to do with the next.
John Marshall unilaterally decided that the SCOTUS was the final arbiter of the constitutionality of laws and amendments to the COTUS via the theory of “judicial review”, which in and of itself is unconstitutional.
Mike Johnson third in line….
Exactly.
It bears mentioning as this point is missed with all the
attention being paid to other controversies involving him.
Speaker Johnson now has a regular appearance on SNC with Tony Perkins a fellow Louisianan.
Dr. Ben Carson is looking better and better. Just hope he surrounds himself with titanium balls types!
I would daresay that the most important primary Cabinet/staff pick is Attorney General not Veep.
Theres a BUNCH of important ones,…not just AG but WH Council, as well.
Mainly, PDJT is going to have to have a concrete way to neuter and so neutralise the abuse of “advice and consent” of Senate Confirmation process.
And, he KNOWS that, and no it can not all depend on getting ONE Senator willing to call for adjorning so he can make recess appointments.
He MUST have figured out how to cut this ghordian knot, that was ONE of the biggest impediments last time around.
Nothing is as it appears to be.
Serious discussions need to begin about the United States conquering and annexing Mexico. I am not joking in any form. Many of our problems could be solved and averted if the United States government completely ran Mexico.
The benefits outweigh the downsides.
I don’t know… I kind of like the Darian Gap being someone else’s problem. Though, I would like to take back over the Panama Canal since we built it.
Mexico, not Panama. Either way, you’re talking about a Hispanic majority with Spanish being the #1 language and culture. Otoh, a union with both Mexico & Canada might work.
isn’t that exactly what WEF wants?
Easier solution – return all the illegals, now that they are educated and have experienced health care and the other benefits of our nation they can go back home and start demanding their nation create the standard of living they expect. They certainly will have the right focus and intent – make Mexico home again!
We need only conquer Mexico diplomatically. PDJT has what it takes to do just that.
This country has too many problems to solve before we can clean up Mexico.
The answer is bring manufacturing back to the United States so we could make things here again.
“The benefits outweigh the downsides.”
Only if our gov’t. wasn’t corrupt.
You want to turn Mexico into Puerto Rico ???? Leftists hell whole? [sic]
The cord with Puerto Rico should have been cut a long time ago..their government is unredeemable
The US government and all those fools in DC are the problem.
send a Black Jack Pershing into Mexico.
And?
This is going to be interesting to watch.
How is the United States going to afford a power infrastructure to support the new EVs?
How are the disposal of damaged or dysfunctional batteries going to be handled.
Who will be able to afford the new EVs, with the United States expected to be in a 1929 economy without President Trump?
How will the address the battery problems for heavy truck hauling limits and the temperature restrictions in terms of both cold and heat for all EVs?
List goes on.
The globalists dont want you travelling. You are to remain in your 15 minute city and eat bugs and be happy about it…..and die off sooner.
You dont really believe they care whether you can afford anything or have power to charge these glorified refrigerators?
Cold , hungry, immobile and living in the dark.
Slick Willie had his “Symbolism over substance” operating logic.
Barack Obama had his “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for”.
Now Jihadi Joe has his: “Somnolence and Shadow-Puppets”.
I wonder if they are going to take another shot at a population reduction mandate, thereby reducing the need for food, cars, etc.? Do you feel another pandemic coming?
Great question. I think that’s the desire. But I don’t see their designs being realized to their benefit. They may very well try.
Honestly, I’m more concerned with the state of my heart as we move into what lies ahead. The challenges are internal because the powers that be are mix mastering the rules for the old external game; only rubes and poseurs play by the old rules. We need lives built on the Rock.
That’s my take. We can be stronger than what they plan or do. Take heart and look to the Lord, my friend! 🤠
Absolutely.
1 – since it actually worked, as opposed to the other efforts previously made
2 – since they’re already told us round 2 is coming.
Yeah sure, that’s normal and natural, repeated rounds of world pandemics. Whatever the “useful idiots” believe, right?
You know all the these EVs will require an AI and they want Power. Well, they will have something in common with the Democrats after all.
🥺Yes: They both pollute the earth and exploit the poor with their scams.
Jihadi Joe is going to crash and burn and go straight to Hades, as are his handlers who who have been running this treasonous Cabal. – Yes, you too, “doctor” Jillie.
This move by China *WILL* destroy US auto manufacturing.
I’m an auto worker….
It’ll start with electric vehicles, and eventually, will have to include gas vehicles as well. After all, the slippery slope has been created.
The uniparty will put their donors above the USA. They already do.
Auto related manufacturing affects a staggering amount of US jobs.
China knows this.
Our politicians are too self absorbed to recognize this attack on US manufacturing.
China and the entire world is laughing at how stupidly and corruptly this country is currently being managed.
Gas powered tow trucks will still be needed, therefore, manufactured.
And, someone will need to install and run all of those Nuclear Power plants. Solar Cells don’t like the cold or heat.
“Our politicians are too self absorbed to recognize this attack on US manufacturing.” Our politicians are in on it. They are being paid handsomely to “look the other way.”
Everything about this illegitimate administration is a lie. From the white house imbecile on down. Leading from behind, is their forte.
7 CMEs and the lights are still on in DC.
….. So disappointed.
Another in a proliferation of Chicken Little false narratives,…ignore them
Taking the talking points of PDJT’s first term when he was renegotiating NAFTA – FJB claiming the actions as his own idea.
This is identical to the lady running for re-election to the Senate, here in Nevada, her commercials are all how she fought hard, insisted, and finally got the government to make insulin affordable at not more than $35 a month. An initiative that I clearly remember the announcement with President Trump and the heads of Medicare and the other health agency departments, even acknowledging that this change in lowered prices won’t take effect until after 2020.
Question – isn’t Blackrock a subsidiary of the see aye eh? so, backroom govt telling the public face of govt what to do? Weird that.
We could also determine how much of BlackRock’s assets are owned by Americans who are in on, and invested for, the profits they make. Does BlackRock still manage significant numbers of 401K portfolios?
401K’s and other retirement assets are a huge marketplace and a lot of our neighbors, and us, are in it. I’m not anymore; got out totally over a decade ago. Fidelity was my drug of choice; just as bad as BlackRock. Money can be a cruel master.
Blackrock can be thought of as a shorthand cover term.
Blackrock/Fidelity/Vanguard have such interlinked, incestuous nepotismic interrelationships, with Boards of Directors, etc. that mightcas well think of them as one entity.
And toss in Warren Buffet in with them.
Me n mine also got off the Fidelity IRA trap, years ago.
Anything that sounds too good to be true, IS.
PAY the 10% to the IRS, take the $ and invrst it in tangibles, instead of giving Fink just what he needs.
Nixon went to China as a ploy to counterbalance the Soviets. Backed by our business community, he made a deal if China would open up–American industry would enter…a win win sales pitch. China said yes with conditions; the major being it had to have access to “how we do it” technologies. No problem…and then Europe joined in as did other nations as the Chinese went to work manufacturing all kinds of goodies for every market they could enter at prices everyone loved except those workers who were underbid, those manufacturers who could not compete, etc….they went out of business and the workers lost their jobs.
Economies adjusted as rapidly as they could, consumers were falling in love with their products and low (stable) prices. Find an early Harbor Freight catalog for confirmation. Quality was the only issue, just like the Japanese faced after WWII ended. Recall Covid and those pictures of the Chinese building that massive Hospital in mere weeks. Find that on YouTube, note the equipment, etc. used…amazing. Look at the tools offered today at Harbor Freight…bye bye Sears Craftsman! Watch the Chinese military parades, look at their city landscapes. Those Chinese have been busting their asses for over a half century working like crazy!
What has American foreign policy been doing all this time; what mindset has been driving this policy? What is our perspective of the Chinese and those who lead China? Why, especially after the Chinese have contributed so much to the economic wealth for others on this planet?
Government lags behind technological advances–always playing catch-up, working to adjust as best as possible. Where are we today?
Enter world wide censorship by governments. Lying is now a way of life for governments toward its own citizens where before government lying was easily accepted when directed to other nations for native protections, etc.
How come the Board of Directors at Sears never saw what was coming via Amazon, when it’s very beginning was through catalog sales? American foreign policy has been in a shambles, till Trump came in with an “economic leverage” perspective to drive our point of view, goals, etc.
Since 1979 the new leaders of Iran have shouted “Death to America, Death to Israel” the “Great Satan and Little Satan” right? And Obama told us he intended to “fundamentally change America” right? And did not Obama along with Valerie aid and abet Iran? When did Obama ever care for Jews and Israel?
Is not the Biden Administration furthering Obama’s agenda whenever and wherever it can–by any means possible? People shout that Biden is a fool, is demented, is unable to do the job, screws everything up he touches…yet they seem to refuse to connect the dots back to Obama’s goal, his pledge, his demonic desires.
The Clintons, the Bushes, all those Baby Boomers have lived in a world of collective narcissism where a change in perspective is just too drastic, thus allowing real revolutionaries time and cover to advance their goals…and here we are today!
You can’t “throw the bums out!” if you have corrupted your voting system. Real trouble awaits the United States!
NixonKissinger went to China as a ploy to counterbalance the Soviets…The Biden administration IS Obama’s agenda.
And Obama’s agenda is that of the globalists and Banksters administered thru the Fourth Branch DS IC.
I was going along with ya, until ya lost me at the crack at “Boomers”.
My being a “Boomer” anyway…
Awww doggonit… Nevermind.
Not really worth my time to say a whole lot to ya.
Suggestion though.
When you are trying to make a point, try not to tick off the part of crowd you are trying to address . Even some of them.
Just do as ya like though. Your dime, spend it as ya want to… ( <although, maybe a Dale Carnegie course would help. /sarc If ya know what I am talking about when I mention his name.)
GOD Bless ya~! We all need that.
I agree that just because some (many?) of us were born during the years that are called “the boomers” does not mean we are in agreement with this radical agenda. I am a “boomer” and had friends and relatives who were drafted to fight in Viet Nam. some came home, some did not. At no time did I ever disrespect the USA, our Veterans, or the American Flag.
I disagreed with the Politics at the time, and I disagreed with the “war” on Viet Nam, but did not storm public places or college campuses.
I am pro America First and MAGA ALL THE WAY.
POTUS Trump 2024!
I was at the tail end of the Draft for the military. What the Draft did that is missing in society today is build “character”. Drill Sergeants had a way of correcting that flaw at a young age!
Maybe this will be of some solace for your injured feelings: “Generation Of Narcisssus” by Henry Malcolm with an introduction by R. Buckminister Fuller, 1971 Little, Brown & Co.
Try Ebay for a copy if you still read for enlightenment or just plain curiosity.
G-d Bless ya fur tryin old timer!
I was in those Dale Carnegie classes! I won a signed copy of “Enrich Your Life” the Dale Carnegie way!
Just saw the story on Fox on this news. Bret Baier’s show.
Let them know they are fake.
I thought they (cyna)were collapsing
The Chinese work around. Make them in Mexico, not China but profits flow back to China.
I see the GameStop meme is back. Looks like Congress is gonna shut that down again
TPTB are setting up the U.S.A. for the ultimate socio-economic KILL SHOT.
The depth and width of the devastation will be much more than a mere ‘bloodbath’.
Please explain “T{TB”; some readers, I am sure, are not familiar.
Thank you.
The Powers That Be (“TPTB”)
Thank you. I am not on social media; therefore do not know the latest/greatest in social media talk! 🙂
You and me both. Many of these acronyms are a mystery to me.
The Powers That Be
Thank you! I am not on social media; therefore do not know the latest greatest in social media talk 🙂
I usually refer to the powers that be as a euphemism for government and its enforcers. In this fascist environment I’d extend that to corporate America. We saw during the Covid operation how they worked with their partners in government to target specific segments of the population.
Perhaps OP can provide their definition. I posited at that time the coming bloodbath after the last crash in ca 2008-2012 would make that period look like a pleasant sunny afternoon. I hadn’t planned on PDJT’s interfering with the Communist’s plans. At that time, his aspirations for the Presidency were not yet clearly public.
With our help, he can derail the Chinese Communists and their collaborators in our great Republic. Our help is paramount. The Republic is us.

Is parking available in the 15 minute cities for EV’s?
In a 15-min city all you will need is one of these:
one third the cost, charge in a standard outlet, and you can work on it yourself.
Oh golly….. no!
– That uses “resources” 🤪
Haven’t ya noticed the bike paths ????

You may be on to something …
I, in fact HAVE one of those!
A 1972, with solar panels on the roof, so seldom requires plugging in, at all.
Great for saving me diesel fuel, when making short distance runs.
And, as most of the time its parked, its batteries are plugged into my off grid solar system, for powering my house.
(Complicated to explain, but actually pretty simple in operation.)
Cool. I was curious if those could be charged with a solar panel.
They are becoming quite popular around here for short distances.
the EV market is descending, not ascending
Yes, plus these products will be hit with high tariffs once The Trump 47 Administration takes office in January 2025 because they will use this to go after AMLO for the damn border mess and the cartel activities much like they did in his first Administration!!! AMLO is basically HATED among the MAGA ranks within the Pres Trump circles from what my contacts here in Texas tell me and they want to deliver a serious HURT TO HIM!!! 🫣
AMLO’s presidency is ending soon. He is termed out
And PDJT has said he will go to war on the cartels, I believe.
Treat them AS the terrorist organisations they are, and send in seal teams, and dronestrikes.
How about you throw tariffs on 💩products from Temu and SHEIN President senile dookie pants!!! 🥴
Well done, SD!
Screw BR & FJB. I’ll keep my 10 & 20 y/o gas guzzling trucks, while I continue my lifelong habit of not being a consumer of unnecessary junk with their unnecessary batteries, thanks.
Propaganda from fake news. Remember mass psychosis. Then they cheat and nothing happens. That’s all you need to know
Sounding the battle cry of ‘Freedom’!!!
Funny thing China end up getting best deal and the globalist owned multinationals. Guaranteed
Bribes work.
Hopefully, Trump calls these fake tariffs for what they are: bribes being paid back by Biden.
So Biden is determined to make sure that China leads the world in EV production in Mexico. And we’re supposed to celebrate the success of those politicians in dC and their ill gotten booty?
The Bidens did not address the problem of cheap Chinese cars — manufactured in China, but exported under the radar screen from Mexico to avoid tariff under the USMCA and domestic content provisions.

Trump WILL correct that! Bank on it!
Sundance, thank you very much for your articles. They give us a lot of information that the MSM doesn’t give us.
Yes, we Treepers are privy to a lot of facts unknown to very (too) many of our fellow Americans.
Please Sundance, get the message out to the ignorant masses somehow.
No matter how cheap…and CHEAP is the right word…these Chinese EV’s are, after a few catch fire and burn down the owners’ houses I’ll bet people will stop buying them.
Search “EV fires in China”…which now average about 10 every day!
Hey Ghost, like I wrote below;
“No matter how cheap…and CHEAP is the right word…these Chinese EV’s are, after a few catch fire and burn down the owners’ houses I’ll bet people will stop buying them.”
“Search “EV fires in China”…which now average about 10 every day!”
We shall not buy them. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of the cure (and the financial setbacks).
I can only assume that offering products to the general population that are known to be dangerous or risky for use without proper testing is intentional. It follows that such behavior on the producers side must have been done with an objective. Can you offer any positive motive? Some of these products are even dangerous to the environment and should have been avoided for that reason. And the items identified as requiring corrective action are ignored in too many cases.
The other fun part about “assembling stuff” in a NAFTA Nation involves the national content percentages. Even if those percentages are met, i.e. the correct percentage of content is “made in the USA”, the raw materials and even some content content to “ensure national content percentages” will come from CHINA thanks to China being handed a monopoly or significant price advantage control over those materials or components.
Yep, there’s also this elephant in the room, and who knows how cleverly those books are cooked…..
The U.S. goods trade deficit with Mexico was $130.5 billion in 2022, a 23.7 percent increase ($25.0 billion) over 2021.

This sounds like a plan as if Trump won’t take office. Is there any indication they have a plan in case he does? Or are they acting as if it’s not a concern?
They’ve been acting as if it’s not a concern for the last 3 1/2 years.
Yes, they are ACTING like it’s not a concern. That’s how they operate. Until they find out otherwise. MAGA Trump 2024.
Anyway, imports from China, no matter what the product, are often undervalued (double invoiced), transshipped thru other countries (eg Mexico), purposely misclassified under the tariff schedule (HTUSA), etc etc, all to evade customs duty.
By the mid-90s US Customs essentially stopped issuing fraud penalties (19USC1592) for undervaluation and other duty-evading schemes (which I will not mention). In fact US Customs did not even make the effort to collect the full amount of duty.
It is not hard to make an imported pay up, the entry is covered by a bond for that purpose
Its a vast amount of money that should be paid into our Treasury.
Thank you, Sundance, for a big dose of truth!
We’ve been in the EV ‘carrot’ period for awhile now. I liken it to the get the Covid shot, here’s a free donut or gift card, et al period. Tax credits, incentives, free/cheap power, cost advantages from lack of road tax, etc.
I’d expect the ‘stick’ period to accelerate. ICE vehicle insurance will mysteriously arbitrarily increase, older vehicles, like pre-computer, will become outright banned, then others, either through insurance or registration or both. Our ‘old’ cars may continue to exist but will be illegal to drive.
Commensurately, fuel stations will diminish and those for non-commercial vehicles may cease to exist first, then as commercial vehicles also are legislated out of existence, those will disappear as well. I would posit the real estate of both, in some areas, to be repurposed for electric charging
If one is a stalwart and resists, expect that social credit score to drop and a whole host of other challenges to present themselves. One more ‘stick’.
Exactly. We will be forced into ev’s.
Somr points with this scenario; WHY wouldn’t they simply eliminate refineries, altogether?
Becaude THEY fully intend that THEY will still eat Kobi beef stakes, seared on gas grills before being driven in their armoured, ICE engined limos, to the airport to fly to the next climate conference.
Point being, they want something like what the Soviets had, one set of stores for the masses, a different one for the elites.
‘Some of these disposable Chinese electric vehicles are actually impressive, which makes sense when you consider that China steals the engineering and design elements from knuckleheaded western corporations who use China for industrial manufacturing (see Tesla etc).’
Not just stealing, but improving upon and innovating now, evidently.

Look at what the US has been doing to compete, for comparison. Or rather, not doing. No worries, DIE will ensure the US decline continues, abetted by the destructions of the climate canard, lgbt insanity, mass immigration, and runaway federal debt.
The notion that a large part of China Inc.’s advances are due to “stolen technology and know how” is a myth. The “stolen technology claim” is a hype used to cover up the truth of the ALL the Export Licenses approved by the G7 (Yellow) nations in the map above.
Since the mid-1990’s the technology and manufacturing powers of G7 nations have established Export Licenses with China Inc. Those licenses include corollary documents called OFF-SET AGREEMENTS, which in turn become part of the Export License. These agreements include the TRANSFER and ESTABLISHMENT of Technology as well as a know How capabilities in the foreign nation involved. Nearly ALL of the gains by China Inc. India, Russia, Brazil (i.e. BRICS) and others is LEGALLY obtained.
Those agreements are Government approved legal contracts protected by the LAWS of the governments approving the licenses.
Also part of the OFF-SET AGREEMENTS are sponsored seats for students in US Universities as well as US Universities being sponsored to establish exchanges and chairs on the foreign customer University Campuses.
“Know How” is an export licensing term that involves transfer of manufacturing, engineering and technology development processes as well as “boots and slide rules on the ground” overseas to physically accomplish the transfer of know how as well as provide physical, hands-on assistance.
Additionally, a major contributor to China’s rapid advance to an economic power was (and is) massive investment by wealthy Taiwanese. Their help also included technical expertise and training. This trend started at the end of the Cultural Revolution.
Ironically, the source of much of these funds was the siphoning off of US military aid during WW2. Yes, US taxpayer dollars helped build the golem we now face.
What many Americans are unaware of is that Chiang Kai Shek (KMT) and the Japanese cooperated in the looting of China. Chiang’s extended family (TV Song, HH Kung, et al) became one of the richest families in the world from massive graft.
Chiang saved his troops and resources for the coming fight with the communists. Likewise, the communists had also correctly concluded that the US would defeat Japan.
And anyone who doesn’t grasp that that is the INTENTIONAL and inevitable result if DEI, just hasn’t been paying attention.
So THAT explains the Chinese balloon invasion several months ago!
China WAS delivering swimming pools!!!
And we all thought they were just spying. Clever little guys.
Actually the balloons were provided by the Amazon Home Delivery group. //sarc
