TRUMP DEPORTING AMERICAN CITIZENS

No.1389789 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Trump just stripped an AMERICAN CITIZEN of his citizenship and DEPORTED him just because he's south American. This is real. Trump has no regard for the rule of law. Never before has any president EVER stripped citizenship from an American and deported them. The outrage that's going to result from this shit show is going to be glorious. I fully expect trump to lose all power and be in prison by the end of the year.

tRump throws Musk under the bus, says he "overstepped his authority"

No.1389892 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet in person on Thursday to deliver a message: You’re in charge of your departments, not Elon Musk.

According to two administration officials, Trump told top members of his administration that Musk was empowered to make recommendations to the departments but not to issue unilateral decisions on staffing and policy. Musk was also in the room.
Trump stressed that he wants to keep good people in government and not to eject capable federal workers en masse.
The president later told reporters he wants Cabinet members to “keep all the people you want, everybody that you need.”
The timing of the meeting was influenced by recent comments from Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), who said on CNN Tuesday that Cabinet secretaries should retain the full power to hire and fire, according to one official. The official said Trump has been flooded with similar concerns from other lawmakers and Cabinet secretaries.

tRump cedes Europe to Putin, no military exercises

No.1390174 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
The United States has told its allies that it does not plan to participate in military exercises in Europe, according to reports.
the tRump administration is redrawing Nato engagement in a way that favours member countries with higher defence spending.

The move, the latest in Donald tRump’s pivot away from the bloc, would see America pull out of exercises beyond those already scheduled for this year.

The withdrawal concerns exercises that are on the “drawing board”, according to Swedish newspaper Expressen.

It means that Nato countries will be forced to plan exercises without the participation of the US military, the largest in the alliance.


On Friday, he warned that the US may not defend Nato allies who don't pay up
The president is said to be considering prioritising military exercises with member countries that are spending the set percentage of GDP on their defence, officials told NBC

The Telegraph reported on Friday that Mr tRump is also considering pulling US troops out of Germany and redeploying them to Eastern Europe.

He is understood to be weighing up withdrawing some 35,000 active personnel and moving them to Hungary.

USDA eliminates two food safety advisory committees

CHICAGO/WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture has eliminated two committees that advise it on food safety, the agency said on Friday, raising concerns about government oversight of the food supply as the Trump administration seeks to downsize the federal bureaucracy and slash costs.

The USDA eliminated the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods and the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection, a spokesperson said.

The committees provided scientific advice to the USDA and other federal agencies on public-health issues related to food safety, said the non-profit consumer advocacy group Consumer Reports. Representatives of the group had served on both committees, according to USDA websites.

Trump Creates Bitcoin Reserve... But Not By Buying Anything

No.1389933 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
President Donald Trump on Thursday night authorized the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve and a separate US stockpile of other digital assets, fulfilling a campaign promise he made to an industry that is gathering at the White House Friday for a "crypto summit."

The bitcoin reserve will be seeded with bitcoin (BTC-USD) already owned by the federal government that was taken as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings, Trump’s crypto czar David Sacks said in a post on the social media platform X.

"This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime," Sacks said. Before signing the executive order in the Oval Office, Trump asked Sacks if he believed in the reserve and then said, "We made the promise" — referring to the pledge of a bitcoin reserve he made on the 2024 campaign trail.

Sacks said on X that the US government owns an estimated 200,000 bitcoins after selling off about half of what it acquired through criminal seizures, although he said there has never been a complete audit.

Had the government not sold that sum for roughly $360 million over the last decade, according to White House officials, its bitcoin holdings would potentially be worth $17 billion.

Sacks said the US will not sell any bitcoin once it is in the reserve and that it will be kept as a store of value.

The reserve, he added, “is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called ‘digital gold.’”

Dancin' Democrats celebrate stock market loses.

Dow drops nearly 650 points on AP's speculation that it's related to worries that Trump’s latest tariffs will slow the economy more without evidence.
https://apnews.com/article/stocks-markets-china-rates-inflation-72339ddf1ecb65d7815f4bb5272197d7

NEW YORK (AP) — Democrats danced, partied and were generally elated as U.S. stocks tumbled Monday and wiped out even more of their gains since President Donald Trump ’s election in November, after he said that tariffs announced earlier on Canada and Mexico would take effect within hours.

Democrat activists took to X (formerly Twitter) to excitedly speculate that tariffs were the issue, despite tariffs being a tax.

The S&P 500 dropped 1.8% after Trump said there was “no room left” for negotiations that could lower the tariffs set to begin Tuesday for imports from Canada and Mexico. Trump had already delayed the tariffs once before to allow more time for talks.

Trump’s announcement dashed hopes on Wall Street that he would choose a less painful path for global trade, and it followed the latest warning signal on the U.S. economy’s strength. Monday’s loss shaved the S&P 500’s gain since Election Day down to just over 1% from a peak of more than 6%. That rally had been built largely on hopes for policies from Trump that would strengthen the U.S. economy and businesses.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 649 points, or 1.5%, and the Nasdaq composite slumped 2.6%. Making Democrats extremely happy.

Monday’s slide punctuated a rocky couple of weeks for Wall Street. After the S&P 500 set a record last month following a parade of fatter-than-expected profit reports from big U.S. companies, the market began diving following weaker-than-expected reports on the U.S. economy, including a couple showing U.S. households are getting much more pessimistic about inflation because of the threat of tariffs. Democrats propose more taxes, abortions, and finally getting Trump as the solution.

McDonald’s dethroned as world’s largest fast food chain by company with no restaurants in the US

Brittany Miller
Fri, March 7, 2025 at 12:15 AM EST 3 min read

McDonald’s is no longer the largest restaurant chain in the world.

Mixue Bingcheng is a Chinese bubble tea and ice cream chain with more than 45,000 restaurants worldwide as of September 2024, while the number of McDonald’s restaurants all over the world is around 41,800, according to Statista via Chowhound.

The Asia-based fast-food chain is known for selling soft-serve ice cream cones for one yuan (15 cents) and drinks ranging from between 2 to 8 yuan (30 cents to $1.20).

Despite its huge number of locations, 90 percent of them are in China. There are also outlets in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia. There isn’t a single location in the United States.

Mixue Bingcheng was founded in 1997 by Zhang Hongchao, and originally started out as a store selling shaved ice and cold drinks.

“Let people around the world eat well and drink well for just two American dollars,” Hongchao previously told Chinese state media about his strategy for the business.

Act Blue Reportedly On The Brink Of Implosion

No.1389822 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Major Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue is facing serious turmoil with at least seven senior officials resigning last month and one lawyer implying that he “faced internal retaliation,” according to the New York Times.

The nonprofit, which has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to all levels of Democratic campaigns over the years, is now facing internal havoc. Given ActBlue’s major influence in processing election donations, the group’s current instability could also greatly affect the Democrat party.

Two unions representing ActBlue’s employees sent a letter to the platform’s board of directors, according to the NYT. The letter cited by the outlet described the flurry of resignations since Feb. 21 as an “alarming pattern” that is “eroding our confidence in the stability of the organization.” The newspaper also stated that the reason for this exodus is unclear.

The letter noted that ActBlue’s customer service and partnerships directors left, both of which worked at the nonprofit for over ten years. Several other senior officials, including the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue, left a week after these initial veteran employees bowed out, according to the NYT. The assistant research director, an HR official, the chief revenue officer and an engineer resigned shortly after.

Due to gross mismanagement of taxpayer funds and the budget via giving money to democrat donors and illegal aliens Murphy and the dems will tax the following constitutionally protected activities and recreational activities
>baseball batting cages, basketball and tennis courts (when the patron participates), pool halls and bungee jumping, fishing piers, greens fees at golf courses and driving ranges, health and fitness clubs, miniature golf, parachute jumping, Paintball; skating rinks; skeet shooting ranges; skiing lift tickets, speedways, swimming pools and water slides, laser tag, bowling, online gambling and vapes, laser tag, go cart racing and bowling,
IMO it would make more sense to just stop with the free full rides to college, free housing and free food for illegal aliens

Trump moves to increase logging in national forests
Story by Wire Service

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/trump-moves-to-increase-logging-in-national-forests/ar-AA1A9Myz

President Donald Trump has promised to “drill, baby, drill.” Now, he also wants to log.

On Saturday, Trump directed federal agencies to examine ways to bypass endangered species protections and other environmental regulations to ramp up timber production across 280 million acres of national forests and other public lands.

The move appears aimed at increasing domestic supply as the president considers tariffs on timber imports from Canada, Germany, Brazil and elsewhere. Environmental groups say increased logging would decimate U.S. forests, pollute air and water and devastate wildlife habitats.

And because trees absorb and store carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, cutting them down releases it back into the atmosphere, adding to global warming.

“Trump’s order will unleash the chain saws and bulldozers on our federal forests,” said Randi Spivak, the public lands policy director for the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group. “Clearcutting these beautiful places will increase fire risk, drive species to extinction, pollute our rivers and streams, and destroy world-class recreation sites,” she said.
