White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivers a press briefing from the White House, confirming the 25% tariffs for Canada and Mexico that begin on Saturday (tomorrow) until such a time as both bordering nations can secure their borders from the inbound fentanyl that is killing American citizens.
Additional announcements include the administration utilizing the U.S. military facility at GitMo to house an additional 60,000 high priority targets awaiting transport to their home country. Special Envoy Ric Grenell is in Venezuela discussing the administration’s expectation that all Venezuelan illegal aliens will be repatriated without issue. WATCH:
.

⚠️Wow! Karoline Leavitt just hung the media out to DRY for denying the COVID lab-leak truth right to their faces.
“Several years ago, when I worked in this press shop, and [Trump briefed the media] on COVID-19, he suggested that COVID may have come from a lab in Wuhan, China – and many members in this VERY ROOM mocked him for that… said he was spewing ‘conspiracy theories.’ He was not. We now know that to be the truth. The president was right again.”

all pilots, whether they took the jab or not, should be tested for neurological disorders, long covid. It has been discovered that Covid AND covid jabs can affect even visual acuity.
My eye glass prescription changed after my Jan 2020 bout with Covid but really changed dramatically after my first Covid jab.
Please, would like references to links for this information, THANK you

Well, there is Pfizer’s 38 page PDF which was obtained through a FOIA request. They had wanted to keep the adverse side effects buried for 75 yrs! But the judge said no, start releasing it on a monthly basis. I don’t know if it’s been memory holed or not, I downloaded it just in case, and the last 8 pages of the 38 pages are all side effects. Reading the 8 pages I felt heartbroken, unbelievably furious, etc, etc. Dr. Naomi Wolfe & others went through each of them.
I’ll see if I can find it… if I can, just warning you, you may not like what you read…
This isn’t just the PDF, but it’s good, has the effects, plus more info:

Even using Brave, I’m seeing a LOT of links that are claiming they’re “fact-checking” & about the “misinformation..
Still looking using different terms.
Yes!!!
This is good & had a link for the last 8 pages with the “1,291 different adverse effects” of the PDF:
“CHD Says Pfizer Clinical Trial Data Contradicts ‘Safe and Effective’ Government/Industry Mantra’

You’re welcome!
Linda T you mentioned Naomi Wolf’s efforts – here’s a link to her website’s catalogue of reports from reviewing both Pfizer and Moderna documents – https://dailyclout.io/pfizer-and-moderna-reports/
I’ll check it out, after this rockin’ headache is better. Makes it hard to focus right now.
Naomi Wolf may be of asssitance.
I appreciate your comment but I don’t need her assistance, I currently have what I need, & I was trying to help junebug.
Go to Who Is Robert Malone and search his Substack Column.
He is the Researcher that discovered mRNA approach and told everyone the ‘Vaccine shots’ were unsafe and not really tested. Of course he was defamed even thru today…

Karen Kingston has worked as a consultant with Pharma contracts for years. She is highly informed. This was also on other podcasts. But found this one for you, Junebug
Articulate and poised, so welcome after the past 4 years off ineptitude and snark.
That’s all Marxists have room for in their non existent souls.
She’s a killer, Trump’s highest praise
A calm, cool, prepared, and collected one.
A quiet assassin.
Body count growing.
President Trump made a great decision
A person with two X chromosomes; a mother; a woman; cisgender and straight. She is pure female, and adorable to boot! Glad she’s bringing “normal” back to the White House.
Admirable. Smart and beautiful.
Wow, what a difference a new Admin makes!
WH Press Sec., Ms Levitt is such a refreshing breath of clear air and communications, as compared to her befuddled predecessor.
She remains professional, polite and inviting with her WH press corp members while maintaining control of the proceeding and giving concise, accurate reports and responses to their many and varied questions, sans obfuscations or deflections. What an improvement.
President Trump has sure made a great Common Sense decision in his appointment of Karoline Levitt as his WH Press Secretary.
Best of Luck to Ms. Levitt,….”You go gal!”
MAGA Doris Day!
This seems to conflict with a March 1 starting date according to this report: https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-set-impose-tariffs-mexico-canada-starting-march-1-sources-say-2025-01-31/
She said in the briefing that the March 1st date was not accurate.
Revised with limited granularity by https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-will-implement-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-saturday-2025-01-31/ issued at 1:41 PM EST
I don’t see a conflict. Both PS Leavitt & Reuters say the start date is March 1, tomorrow. She said it several (3?) times.
February 1st, not March, is what I heard her say.
Yes, she actually said “Tomorrow, Feb. 1” at one point.
.
Rang the bell AGAIN! A must-see!
.
I Probably sound like a broken record…. but what a pleasure ….!! To be able to WATCH press briefings again…..PLUS she’s easy to LOOK AT, AND listen to…..
Quick, articulate, laconic…..AND NO WORD SALADS….🥳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just not looking like a cartoon, as the predecessor did, is s huge improvement.
And I couldn’t stand her “circle back”, and sometimes she would just storm off in a hissy fit.
Some reporter on Greta the other night from wall street journal called her Jen Psaki of the right. I almost barfed.
Not even!!! Jen was a major leftist, lied, etc etc. How appalling to be compared to her, what a deluded comparison, they’re no way no how not even remotely similar. I would have had the same reaction.
Yeah I SEE the resemblance……🤪🙄
DEI DEI DEI DEI DEI PDJT has trapped the Pravda News into just focusing on DEI. He has them in a choke hold.
You have to admit, PDJT is sharp when it comes to trapping the Left in their own hubris, but they DO tend to make it easy…..
You nail them, Karoline! Don’t take any crap from any of these left-wing liars and propaganda ministers.

US Fentanyl Crisis Is A ‘CCP-Run Operation’, Says Peter Schweizer
APR 19, 2024
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/us-fentanyl-crisis-ccp-run-operation-says-peter-schweizer
Three months after the U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctioned a Chinese mafia leader for fentanyl trafficking, he received an award in Beijing.
In March 2021, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Overseas United Working Committee recognized Wan Kuok Koi, also known as “Broken Tooth,” as a “patriotic businessman” and the “chief representative” of all international Hongmen associations. Hongmen is synonymous with triads, or Chinese transnational organized crime syndicates, to many Chinese.
The awarding entity is a CCP United Front organization and a platform under the China Association for Science and Technology. It also pushes China’s flagship infrastructure program, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), worldwide. According to the Treasury Department notice, Mr. Wan has established a security company protecting BRI investments in Southeast Asia.
In a recent interview with EpochTV’s American Thought Leaders (ATL), investigative writer Peter Schweizer cited Mr. Wan’s case as an example of the CCP’s take on the United States’ fentanyl crisis.
“The notion that ‘oh, China’s trying very hard, but they can’t fix this’ is an absolute joke in my mind,” he said.
In addition, the author of a new book titled “Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans” told ATL that the U.S. fentanyl crisis is a “CCP-run operation.”
“The drug cartels are certainly involved, but they’re the junior partner,” Mr. Schweizer said, adding that the CCP is present at “every link of the chain.”

China’s Unrestricted Drug War Against Americans: Peter Schweizer (1:01:29)
American Thought Leaders – The Epoch Times
Sep 14, 2024
This interview was originally released in April, 2024.
Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.
The fentanyl trade is a “CCP-run operation,” says investigative journalist Peter Schweizer. He’s the author of, most recently, “Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans.”
In this video, he breaks down the Chinese regime’s disintegration-warfare strategies to destroy America from within—from killing young Americans with fentanyl to radicalizing protests in America so they adopt increasingly violent tactics:
“With the precursor chemicals that make fentanyl, 90 percent of them come from China. Those precursors mainly arrive in a single port in Mexico, the port of Manzanillo on the west coast. The international terminal at the port of Manzanillo is not run by a Mexican company. It’s not run by an American company. It’s run by a Chinese company. That is one of the reasons they have a hard time stopping this flow of precursors.”
“The vast majority of people that are dying of fentanyl overdoses don’t even know they’re taking fentanyl. It’s being laced into illegally made pills that look like Vicodin and Adderall. For the drug cartels to do that, they need pill presses and pill molds, these small molds that make these fake pills look like the real thing. The drug cartels do that, and they get those pill presses and pill molds from China.”
“Between the Biden family and the fentanyl trade, you literally have one degree of separation, this businessman that gave them this $5 million interest-free loan, which of course, the Bidens never repaid. Honestly, does Joe Biden want to have a conversation about the Chinese involvement in the fentanyl trade?”
Coronavirus chokes the drug trade — ***from Wuhan***, through Mexico and onto U.S. streets – APRIL 24, 2020
https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-04-24/wuhan-china-coronavirus-fentanyl-global-drug-trade
MEXICO CITY — For drug traffickers interested in getting in on the fentanyl business, all roads once led to Wuhan.
The sprawling industrial city built along the Yangtze River in east-central China is known for its production of chemicals, including the ingredients needed to cook fentanyl and other powerful synthetic opioids.
Vendors there shipped huge quantities around the world. The biggest customers were Mexican drug cartels, which have embraced fentanyl in recent years because it is cheaper and easier to produce than heroin.
But the novel coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan late last year before spreading across the planet has disrupted the fentanyl supply chain, causing a ripple effect that has cut into the profits of Mexican traffickers and driven up street drug prices across the United States.
The way they see it:
The Opium Wars led to significant territorial losses for China, including the cession of Hong Kong to Britain, and resulted in a series of “unequal treaties” that favored Western powers, undermining China’s sovereignty and economic stability. This period is often referred to as the “Century of Humiliation,” marking a decline in China’s global influence and control over its own trade. Opium had devastating effects on China, leading to widespread addiction and social issues as opium became prevalent in society.

MAN – whip smart, outstanding delivery and gorgeous! Are we ever lucky for our POTUS to have a woman like this out there everyday making his case to the mostly obnoxious press.
Someone needs to tell Karoline the next time someone complains about Trump saying nasty things about Biden peeps she should ask him if he ever called out Biden when he called Trump (insert list of quotable insults)? Why is the pearl clutching always in one direction?

So good I have to watch it again.

Mark Cuban: “President Donald Trump is “never” seen around “strong, intelligent women”
LOL
Welp……now THAT hasn’t aged well….has it, Mark??? LOL
What a sour puss Mark Cuban is.
His envy of President Trump’s accomplishments is showing…..bigly.
Mark’s envy with PTrump simply knowing and hiring strong, intelligent, and beautiful women is showing – bigly.
Eat your heart out, Mark.
He’s a loser.
Whatta maroon. Not hearing from him anymore, are we?
Swalwell on All-In podcast said he gets inspiration from Cuban. Help, help. Check this podcast out. Put Him in the slot after Tom Emmer. Brilliancy versus moronic.
Cuban is what you would call a “smart stupid” person. Smart because he sold his startup just before the tech collapse in 2000. Stupid because he is just plain stupid!
That is the recipe for deporting not just the worst illegal alien criminals, but all illegal aliens:
1) Transport them to Gitmo,
2) Open the doors and boot them into Cuba,
3) Rinse and repeat
That is payback to Cuba for sending all their criminals to the US via the Mariel boat lifts in 1980
I vote with Babylon Bee. My day goes on hold when White House press briefings are going on.
Babylon Bee fairly regularly attacks Christians for there Christianity: See there cowardly attacks on Candace Owens for there latest betrayal.
Can you provide an example of your accusation?
Natalie Winters from WarRoom was just on Jack Posobiec’s show, describing her experience in the media room. They were making hand signals, scoffing and mocking, in general acting like the juveniles they repeatedly show themselves to be.
What’s clear is that they do not respect anyone on the right, including the President of the United States or his press secretary. They really DO think they’re better than we are – and just can’t help themselves from showing it.
Maybe Karoline needs to put some of these brats in a time out.
Gee, the only thing these third graders masquerading as journalists aren’t doing is passing notes to each other. What imbeciles…
Pretty and Bright….so nice
Every day just gets better and better!! She is an absolute delight!! Smart! Articulate! Informed! Transparent honesty! This is going to be a great 4 years. The quality of press questions has improved due to her leadership.
Trump taking a wrecking ball to all the cow patties we’ve been dealing with. And he’s not going to cover for the military on that blackhawk helicoper, which seemingly, blew it. A terrible tragedy – probably avoidable. But the control tower is in hot water too.
I can just hear all the DEI human resource folks crying and shrieking right now.
I’m thankful and grateful that he is standing up to the transgender agenda for minor children! God will not be mocked and we NEED him to crush it. It’s very evil. No civilized nation should allow this.
COVID and Wuhan. What I want to know is how involved was the University in North Carolina at Chapel Hill with gain of function research? The elephant in the room.
Love the tarriffs!!
I could care less if Gitmo is used for violent illegal immigrants…
Merit, merit, merit.
8 additional hostages released by HAMAS.
Rosen: the presidents use of “public profanity”. LOLOLOLOL. Press Secretary had the perfect answer! What we love about our President is that he often says out loud what we all are thinking. Touche.
I have learned so much in a week and a half.
There are two genders.
Criminals should be arrested.
Water puts out fires.
Countries have borders.
And God is Good!
Another indirect effect of the Canada tariff.
Trudeau has been the most hated prime minister ever. But now he’s getting a big boost as a defender against the tariffs. Even many conservatives want him to be proactive. And if he does somehow ‘stand up for Canada’ it could result in a massive reverse of his fortunes.
And Pierre Poilievre is being even more identified with Trump in the most negative way in the media.
If Trudeau or another Liberal does win the next election then it’s bad news for everyone .
Stop drinking the kool-aid.
Hey Ron B,
Instead of attacking the poster with a snarky “Stop drinking the kool-aid”, why don’t you add to the train of thought, and develop the conversation with your own opinions.
Thank you.
I,ll bite
The Canadian press will associate the conservativish politicians with Trump because they live in. The state controlled media bubble.
They are completely out of touch with the citizens that root for Trump to take Justin out by humiliating him even in the eyes of his supporters.
Karoline is doing an absolute bang-up job at Press Secretary!
She’s a breath of fresh air telling the TRUTH!
Sorry for the cliché, but YOU GO, GIRL! 😁💅🏻💄👧
jumping in to give a plug for “The Ruthless Variety Progrum”. On 1/28, there was about 30minutes of discussion with Jason Smith, chairman of House Ways and Means, re implications of expiring Trump tax cuts. (It’s horrendous)
Frequent readers of CTH will not agree with every conclusion they draw, or guest that they host. Enough great info is shared, and let’s face it, we need to know what opposition is up to
Missed this second press briefing. That said…if the picture in the above YT frame is any indication of how it went…one could, for a fleeting instance, possibly, almost feel a microscopic amount of sympathy for the usual suspects.
No, we don’t. Not for an instant.
That is a very predatory grin she’s got on her face, just daring the Press Corps to begin their usual rounds of stupid questions. And from the comments above – she just handed them their heads back to them.
Good job!
Happy Dance!
We are suddenly awash in common sense.
Refreshing, to say the least!
No wonder I no longer get my info from these Charmins at the briefing room!
Trump DOJ Leader Said to Order Prosecutors Moved to Border
Jan. 30, 2025
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/trump-doj-leader-said-to-order-prosecutors-transferred-to-border
The Trump Justice Department’s top political appointee told all 93 US attorneys he’s recruiting their line prosecutors for border enforcement against what he framed as an invasion of immigrants crossing the border illegally, according to three people familiar with the meeting.
In a conference call Thursday, Emil Bove, Trump’s former personal criminal attorney serving as the acting deputy attorney general, spoke about the administration’s immigration focus in the context of a terrorist attack, said the individuals, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a non-public meeting.
During the call, Bove highlighted a new case in which DOJ will be pursuing criminal charges against a local sheriff’s office employee in upstate New York for facilitating a sanctuary city, as the administration takes aim at local policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Bove asked US attorneys to identify line prosecutors in their offices for deployment to border districts, the people said. He ended the call without taking questions.
She is SO good! That last snarky question would have caused me to simply say “Thank you, have a good day” and walk out. But Karoline lobbed back the most perfect response.
That gotcha question was from Newsmax’s James Rosen who complained the other day that he had still not been called on by Karoline. I wish she had responded to Rosen as follows: “James, I finally called your ass and you ask that bullsh*it question!”
Karoline has taken control of the press room. I love the new format of having alternate media folks there and
you can sense their appreciation of it.
I also can’t help snickering at the “journalists” sitting there with their sourpusses as Karoline makes her picks.
Re: CHYNA/DOD VIRUS ORIGIN? There are plenty of folks here who knew who hatched it well before the media.
My question is who actually broke the vial? The Chinese…..the CIA….or both?

Yes, there was a YMCA there. Appropriate that the man who used YMCA as a campaign song is sending the baddies to a YMCA turned high security prison. Makes you wonder just how prescient PDJT is.
I think that’s maybe the only time i ever tuned into a press conference, stayed with it to the end, was informed by it, and enjoyed it.
Very sharp, professional lady, thinking on her feet, prepared to the tee, and well able–even welcoming–the pressure.
Thanks for letting us see her at work.
same heree
Trump allowed I think 8k military personnel who were released because they refused the shot to return to active duty. Could he not do the do the same for those ATC’s who were treated likewise??
Look at the grin on Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s face LOL!
I’m gonna eat your lunch and make you cry 🙂
” the inbound fentanyl that is killing American citizens.” I take issue with the way in which this implies that fentanyl is some kind of live beast that ‘attacks’ people and kills them. FAFU applies here. Stupid people do Stupid things.
I’m getting old… I guess it should be FAFO.
I tend to agree with one important caveat. fentanyl is especially a unique danger (grave danger! is there any other kind?)
all it takes it to touch this stuff on the skin and you are quite likely to be dead in a matter of hours, minutes.
it IS that powerful in raw form.
heroin cannot do this. cocaine can not do this. Pill form hydrocodone and other “recreational” euphoria drugs do not do this.
a completely innocent person or child can unwittingly come into contact with this chemical and it can cost them their lives.
while this is rare, it does happen.
also this: fentanyl is the drug of choice for cross tie walkers (illegal migrants). In miniscule amounts hard to detect and easy to carry, they can literally pay their way to “freedom” in the US by moving this contraband. Just once ounce of this pure stuff can be sold even at mule prices exceeding several thousands of dollars. So this is also the problem with this drug that goes beyond the simple drug “USER” debate.
I have had one death in my immediate nuclear family with opiates. That is all I will say on that personal matter. I spent a majority of my young energy doing front line drug interdiction…mostly cocaine and some heroin. This drug fentanyl is so much more dangerous and hard to eliminate.
anecdote to provide the kind of problem “we” face:
a group of people just got word that their friend just died from fentanyl …and they rush to his house before police and first responders arrive so they can get “the good stuff”…that is how pernicious this drug is. people will literally step over dead bodies to get high with it…even if it means tempting death.
the “high” it provides is so intoxicating there are even pot smokers who are now experimenting with doping their weed with the stuff.
I agree that people that use share the responsibility for their actions…but it is also a responsibility of a responsible society that we try even if in vain, to help prevent these people from killing themselves.
I think of it as a moral obligation. I am at a place where I can make a difference….will it save everyone..no…but the effort is worth it…because at the end of the day, I don’t want to have regret when the question is raised and I am judged:
you had the ability to do something…did you?
This is just how I see it.
God Bless America
Just… WOW.
How refreshing.
What is the President’s position on public prophanity????
Well I am not sure I speak for the President, but frankly my dear I don’t give a damn.
Tariffs: The Taxes That Made America Great
https://buchanan.org/blog/tariffs-the-taxes-that-made-america-great-136986
President Trump has always been a history buff. I am happy that he is bringing this out in this administration to help Americans understand what he is doing and WHY he is doing it.
Civics, Economics, American History
she’s doing a great job
could someone please tell me about the “swearing or cursing” Trump did? it was of the last questions raised
He referred to something as BS, actually saying the words, during the remarks on the plane crash yesterday, I believe. IMO, sometimes profanity is appropriate for the situation.
It was “bullshit”

I notice not alot of blinking with gold eye shadow. Refreshing and doesn’t stammer.
Is this Trump playing chess with the senate blob? I don’t need no stinking confirmations to do what I want, and the longer you take the longer until you can try working the cabinet to contain me.
The first thing I noticed when I turned into the press conference was hoe quiet it was. Generally, the reporters are yelling loud with their hands raised trying to get Karoline, or any previous Press Secretary, to pick them to ask a question. Today it was for the most part very quiet while Karoline picked individuals to ask questions. No yelling or screaming from five or six reporter at a time trying to get picked. Karoline apparently had laid down the law on such behavior. What a pleasant change that was!!
Pass the Winnamins!!
Always MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
I see rehab in a lot of “former reporters” future.
those press people look like a motley crew of people who just got out of bed
Perhaps we are witnessing the grooming of the future President of the United States of America?!
Now, this is the kind of woman who could do the job for the country.
Time will tell.
