Convicted felon Donald Trump is wrecking the economy with tariffs even Rand Paul thinks are insane. His excuse? A fake fentanyl crisis he can't prove. Reality? Higher prices, economic chaos, and broken trade agreements. He’s not protecting Americans—he’s robbing them blind while selling them a lie.

Elon Musk now has control of America's checkbook. Guess who's paying for that trillion dollar Mars colony?

You. It's you. You're paying.

X appears to be becoming the official US Government propaganda network. This is likely aimed at forcing back the media and other large organisations. Do not fall for it. Journalists, universities, government agencies, international organisations - you can monitor x with an account and remain broadcasting on this platform. Help your audience stay here.

Marco Rubio is visiting Panama this weekend to try to annex the Panama Canal.

Panama is currently bracing for an American invasion and is warning there could be mass casualties.

The U.S. is acting like Russia when it invaded Ukraine—and is making the world less safe in the process.

The 14 year old is doing research on literacy rates in the US and has found that some info has been scrubbed from the .gov sites. Which, of course, isn't a surprise, but the news from earlier just became very real for him. The kid just wants to learn about literacy rates and he can hardly do that. I had to tell him to be careful about anything he finds on a .gov site right now, it may not be true. How fucking crazy is that? Two weeks ago I wouldn't have said that.

Via Bloomberg:

#Canada is set to introduce escalating retaliatory counter- #tariffs to try to turn Americans against #Trump ’s 25% levies on Canadian goods, a threat that’s causing the country to rethink its dependence on its southern neighbor.

Freeland, a candidate for PM, calls for tariffs on Tesla cars

Levies will first hit goods easy to substitute, minister says https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-01/canada-poised-to-retaliate-against-trump-tariffs-while-rethinking-us-reliance

They couldn’t make Cool Hand Luke today because that hard boiled egg scene would cost $35 million to shoot.

I was in USAF training 10 years after Vietnam, but this was drilled into me: 𝘋𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯.

***** Google Gemini Gmail WARNING *****

Damned #Google is now pushing their invasive AI crap Gemini onto the Desktop version of #Gmail, with no apparent way for individual users to disable it (Admins for commercial users apparently do have a toggle). The Gemini sucker icon appears as a four-pointed "sprite" next to the settings gear. If you hover on it, you'll see a "Try Gemini" tooltip. DO NOT CLICK ON IT, unless you want Google's horrific lying, fascism-ridden misinformation machine sucking up your emails.

NOTE: Again, there is no apparent way for individual user to disable this. The sprite appears even if you have all Gmail "Smart" features disabled.

This is Google blatantly trying to force this garbage on users who have no idea what it is and how much damage it can do to them, presumably as a first step toward pushing their "AI Agents" to take control of your browsing. Of course, if this is your kink, go ahead and chain yourself to Gemini. But you've been warned.

@GottaLaff Trump will now establish a militia comprising Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, and other white nationalist thugs and send them to help patrol the border. Heck, he may even send them to the northern border for an eventual military assault to capture Canada as our 51st state.

So why is Ramaswamy suddenly gone? Simple. Neither trump nor his co-president Musk is able to be near a brown or black face for an extended period. The suggestion that they might all be in the same political or social group is anathema to these two racist fascists.#racism #fascists #Ramaswamy #DOGE
