MAGA for every segment of the USA population.  We are a united nation and interestingly President Trump’s policy proposals are targeted to the benefit of every American.   Not subsets, not divided policies targeted on race, class or creed, but rather policies that are of benefit to every American.  We saw this rising economy in Term-1 and we can see it again in Term-2. No question.

President Trump will be campaigning in Nevada (4pm) and California (8pm) today.

President Trump carries the message to a Latino audience in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Anticipated start time 4:00pm ET with livestream links below:

Our analysis of U.S. consumer prices in 2019 showed that prices of imported goods actually declined despite import tariffs. A 2024 report from CPA takes a look at the impact to Chinese exports to the U.S.  [SEE DATA HERE] Bottom line, the tariffs worked to reduce Chinese imports.

2024 CPA – […] Since the Section 301 tariffs were imposed, the share of imports from China has steadily declined from 21.6% in 2017 the year prior to the tariffs to 16.5%, a decline of 5.1%. No other country has lost as much share of total U.S. import penetration over the past five years.

In terms of total import value, Mexico gained the most from the tariffs, adding $110.8 billion. Vietnam gained the second most in import value by $78.4 billion and by far gained the most of total share of U.S. imports. In 2017, Vietnam accounted for about 2% of U.S. imports at $46.5 billion. In 2022, the U.S. imported $127.5 billion in goods from Vietnam, and the share of the total nearly doubled to 3.9%. Other countries in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia all saw significant increases in their value of imports by the U.S. (read more)

With the 2024 election rapidly coming, it is worth revisiting the actual tariff outcome to American consumers in order to dispel the popular myths about tariffs raising prices here at home.  This might be the cited data you want to bookmark.

It was the Fourth Quarter of 2019…..

Right before the pandemic would hit a few months later, despite two years of doomsayer predictions from Wall Street’s professional punditry, all of them said Trump’s 2017 steel and aluminum tariffs on China, Canada and the EU would create massive inflation – it just wasn’t happening!

President Trump has proposed that homes in critical areas be granted tax credits for the installation of emergency generators.  It is a smart plan given the nature of crisis events that have unfolded in recent years.

.

Factually, it would not be difficult to repurpose much of the “Green New Deal” spending legislation to permit such a credit.  There are millions of Americans who could benefit.  Sounds good in both principle and practice.

Made in America generators!  Watch how fast the private sector industries would start scrambling to make USA built generators.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Tonight, President Trump heads to Reno, Nevada, for a MAGA rally in a state that is moving rapidly toward Trump.  Nevada is always a challenge due to CA proximity and the use of double ballots completed by out of state activists.  However, with increased scrutiny by grassroots efforts, the duplication of ballots may be more challenging for Democrats this cycle.

President Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks at 8:30pm EDT. Livestream links below:

Appearing in Bradenton, Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis discusses ongoing recovery efforts from the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.  There is plenty of fuel in the supply chain, the issue is that many gas stations may be waiting on power restoration.

Debris cleanup from both Helene and Milton is now being handed back to the municipal regions who are the first responders for debris removal.  For those unfamiliar, generally a hurricane creates 7 years’ worth of debris that needs to be cleared and removed.  FEMA underwrites the first 10 days and reimburses the local authorities for debris removal.

Full state DOT assessments have been completed for state roads and bridges. Power restoration continues. Governor DeSantis walks through the current state of recovery. WATCH:

Spreading rapidly on social media, Univision was seemingly captured providing Kamala Harris a teleprompter script for responses during a townhall event.

The controversial snippet is embedded below.  Additionally, after reviewing the entire event, I am providing the full video as broadcast by Univision.

While the script is not used during the entire townhall event; yes, Kamala Harris uses a teleprompter during responses to questions that require policy outlines.  In short, her handlers do not seem to have confidence that Harris can provide succinct responses despite continual rehearsal.  WATCH:

I’ve looked at the entire broadcast. YES, there is teleprompter script running at specific segments of the event. NO, not all the time.

After initially seeing this on social media without context, I had to go look at the originating source material.

At first blush, it looks creepy, weird and ridiculous.  After going to the source to see the reasoning for it, even with context it is creepy, weird and ridiculous.

I have come to the researched conclusion that “Leftism” is factually a mental disorder, requiring adherents to be part of a tribal mentality.  If the tribe does stupid stuff, the individual does stupid stuff; that’s how modern Democrats operate, including their voting patterns.  The arc of this modern slope goes from the self-centered, narcissistic “we are the world” stupidity (early 1980’s), all the way to today.

This video with Gretchen Whitmer is a small case study example. WATCH: (mute your sound)

.

The podcaster is a troubled and typical millennial known as Liz Plank.  Together with Governor Gretchen Whitmer it does appear they decided to mock Holy Communion using a Dorito as the sacrament.  Kamala Harris previously said Doritos chips (diabetes fuel) were her favorite snack.

The podcast is in full below.  You only need to watch 20 seconds to get the context of the interview.  The uptalking millennial is the epitome of a Kamala Harris supporter.  Liz Plank is like many millennials, an adult child.  Unfortunately, Plank is also what people currently call an “influencer.”
