So #trump is doing exactly what I thought he was going to do with the #tariffs when he failed to actually strong arm any countries into unfair deals -
He is walking them back, and then saying he cut deals! When in reality things just went back to the previous tariff situation between the #usa and #china before the ABSOLUTELY INSANE trade war.
Then since #maga sheep are profoundly dumb, they'll eat it up and praise him for wrecking our #economy.

Our top story: After over 25 years in the U.S., and despite raising a family here and having a path to citizenship, Moizali Momin was nearly deported to India. He spent months in cramped, dirty detention centers at taxpayer expense. https://www.texasobserver.org/trump-ice-detention-bond-prosecutorial-discretion/

Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More
—
By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

‘All They Will Find Is Sand’: #Israel’s Demolition of #Gaza
https://world-outlook.com/2026/04/19/all-they-will-find-is-sand-israels-demolition-of-gaza/
April 19, 2026
[article from #LondonReviewOfBooks with intro and photos by #WorldOutlook.]
The #UN Genocide Convention of 1948 lists five acts that constitute #genocide when committed with the intent to destroy a group in whole or in part. The first two concern mass killing and serious bodily or mental harm...
The third prohibition ...forbids ‘deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction’. This refers to indirect forms of killing, those that don’t target human bodies but the environment that sustains them. Sufficient ‘conditions of life’ require buildings, hospitals, ...sewage and water systems, power grids, agriculture. The intentional destruction or degradation of such structures undermines a people’s ability to survive, leading to a slower and more tortuous form of annihilation.

#WOKE_NOW? Hey your Dad from Sarasota Florida tried to warn you.. ?? But you kids know everything R.I.G.H.T. ?😢
🇹🇼 #Taiwan: Will 🇨🇳 #China STOP!!! 🚫 ALL Manufacturing Shipments out of #Taiwan?? to #AMAZON & #WALMART in the 🇮🇱 USA?
The USA 🇮🇱 has UNSUCCESSFULLY tried to CONTROL the Internets' eCommerce for the Last 25 YEARS via the #SLAVE_LABOR of the 🇹🇼 #TAIWANESE and Dirt Bag #JEW Koolaide.
..On the BACKS of #TAIWANESE! 🇹🇼 = #SWEAT_SHOPS
🇨🇳 China's Next Strategy SHOULD BE to #STOP_MANUFACTURING_SHIPMENTS TO #WALMART and #AMAZON. Without 🇹🇼 Taiwan the 🇮🇱 USA eCommerce would SHUT DOWN OVERNIGHT! 🔦
..providing 🇺🇸 USA JOBS for ALL OVERNIGHT!;)
Yes it WILL hurt.. but in the long run we will also be forced to fire up our own #manufacturing_hub once again :) instead of forcing CHINA TO WAR.
The only rational goal for those who sat on thier lazy asses for the last 2 decades CREATING PROXY WARS to sell War Weapons to BOTH SIDES? How Convenient!?
WHO IS TO #BLAME?? 👉 After all it was #Walmart who built-out China SHIPPING and #Manufacturing_Hub (DROP SHIPPING) out of Taiwan to BEING WITH!
Then Baton was handed over to Amazon to continue the #rape and #pillaging of all local USA #Brick and #Mortar Stores here in the USA ( #FBA ) aka Fulfillment by Amazon>> BY #ASHKE_NAZI JEWS! 💩
Our Own #JEWISH_CONGRESS 💩 AND USA #ZIONIST citizens DESTROYED USA National Brick and Mortar #SINGLE_UNDERHANDEDLY.
Think about it?? Walmart built out the china infrastructure and handed the #baton off to #AMAZON (FBA) #Fulfillment_by_Amazon >> in this case.. ON THE BACKS OF #SWEAT_SHOPS IN CHINA (not Taiwan).
Amazon #BEZOS GOT CAUGHT TOO then the Zionist #CRYPTO_JEWS Covered it up?
But if you want to blame someone BLAME FBA! FULL OF #AMERICAN_TRAITORS BETRAYING ALL USA BRICK AND MORTAR. The USA citizens alone are the ones who destroyed NATIONAL BRICK AND MORTAR.
But lets talk #SLAVE_LABOR IN #TAIWAN SHALL WE??
Working 7 days per week. 10 hours per day @ $3 USD per day. #Weddings performed on #job site; SUNDAYS??
What are the #REAL_ISSUES here?? Its about INFERIOR Zionist and INFERIOR jews controlling worldwide Commerce AND eCOMMERCE?? >> while these lazy ASS losers have not lifted one finger in 3 decades to support 🇺🇸 any REAL USA INTERNET COMPANIES that they CANNOT CONTROL (THROUGH MASSIVE SUBSIDIES) because these same Companies (with #integrity) WOULD #NEVER TAKE A #KNEE TO #RACKETEERS WITH ZERO INNOVATION!
Just THEFT OR COPYCATS IS ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO. Btw.. the #real_thieves and #terrorists have been #home_grown for the last 3 decades! NO NEED to look further!
