Aunty (anti) FOX

 Even IF the factories are built, we don’t have the electrical power grid to support them, as EV’s and AI, plus a push to electric appliances have already put us at a deficit. So, we don’t have the factories, labor, power and in most cases the natural resources for a transition that would take MANY years. In other words, Boss Hogg’s plan is totally idiotic, as he is running the country like he ran his businesses. Into the ground…..with the blind support of the ignorant MAGA morons who elected him.

  ‘Totally Stupid.’ Trump’s Focus on Trade Deficit Bewilders Economists. Behind Trump’s new tariffs is a goal that is as ignorant as it is unrealistic: eliminating the bilateral trade deficit with every U.S. trading partner. Nearly all economists say that focusing on imbalances from country to country can be highly misleading, and destructive. Last year, for example, the United States ran bilateral trade surpluses with 116 countries globally. It ran bilateral trade deficits with 114 countries, according to World Bank data. Often these relationships just follow the flow of trade, without suggesting much about a country’s trade practices overall. Matthew Klein, who writes about economics for The Overshoot, points out that the United States runs a trade surplus with Australia because it sends out lots of machinery, transportation equipment and chemicals. Australia runs a trade surplus with China, sending it iron ore, natural gas and gold. And China runs a trade surplus with the United...

 The government is forced to offer higher interest rates, to lure money, cuz potential buyers are afraid, for good reasons. Dotard is either SOOO stupid that his policies will throw us into a Recession, OR, that’s his plan all along. Whatever it is, the dumbass is wrecking a system that has been building since WWII, with the US leading the world out of the disastrous COVID inflation, as our economy WAS the envy of the world.  Until Putin’s pal took over. Now, kiss your savings, investments and 401K goodbye, cuz the MAGA morons put their boy in charge, and he doesn’t have any more clue about running the economy than he did about running a casino, or any of the MANY businesses he bankrupted. Thanks a bunch, Rupert, Sean and the uninformed, misinformed sheep who get their ‘news’ from a Republican Propaganda Network. If I gotta explain, you wouldn’t understand….

  What do all these have in common?   Trump’s unquenchable thirst for power, dominance, and intimidation. Here are 10 rules for dealing with this.  Stop treating Trump’s excuses as his real concerns.  He says, for example, that he’s motivated by antisemitism at various universities. He isn’t. He and his goons have attacked other universities for entirely different reasons — allowing transgender women to play in women’s sports, or maintaining programs that encourage diversity, equity, and inclusion.  They’ll use whatever pretext they can find to issue demands and get universities to capitulate. For the same reason, stop assuming that Trump is concerned about other nations’ “unfair” trade practices or illegal immigration.  These, too, are pretexts.  He is using tariffs, immigration, and every tool at his command to intimidate other nations, including our Canadian and Mexican allies and traditional allies in Europe, in order to get them  to capitulat...

 The clowns at Bullshit Mountain, when they don’t have some story to distract the sheep, like some Liberal Mayor and crime, or a Dem who got busted for drinking and driving, will say some crap about ‘taking our medicine,’ BUT, mainly their stories are all ‘Look over THERE’ and the jerks totally ignore the elephant in the room. The Republican elephant, that is making all those people who were THIS CLOSE to retirement having to work a few more years, OR, those who have already retired, either ‘doing without’, or going back to work, as the world economy, built over generations of trial and error, is trashed, losing TRILLIONS of dollars daily, with no end in sight, cuz some asshole doesn’t understand world economics. Or he DOES, and wants to take it all down, for his oligarch buddies and his pal Putin. Which is it, morons? Screw the jackass(R), and the gullible, ignorant, clueless sheep who still support him. Remove your firmly and deeper implanted head, absorb some REAL news instead o...

 “Trump has made allies of our enemies and enemies of our allies.” The whole world got sanctions, except Russia, where they are planning a statue of Dotard. Think about it, you MAGA morons….. Can you imagine how the clowns at FOX, and the clueless, gullible, ignorant sheep would be SCREAMING, (rightfully so), if old Joe had WRECKED everything, like their dumbass has? Wake up!  Why can’t you see what’s happening, as the oligarchs take over our country?

 “Losing money doesn’t really mean anything.” “A falling stock market might be a good thing.” “I don’t really care about my 401K.” “Trump is SO good at business that he should be in charge of the world economy.” “These IS a chance of disruption on Main Street and some prices MIGHT go up.” And the MAIN thing I learned from seeing excerpts from Bullshit Mountain? Those F-ing clowns don’t have a clue, just like the MAGA morons who put Boss Hogg in office….

 It’s when Dotard does something deranged, and you notice.

 

  “I do think that at this point we might have passed the event horizon, meaning that even if Trump backs off from the tariffs, there’s been enough damage done to the U.S. economy, to the global economy, to investor confidence, consumer confidence, that we’re probably going to see a recession regardless of what happens,” he said. He points out that while public attention is focused on the stock market, there are alarming signs in the bond market. Usually, if stocks go down, so do yields on U.S. Treasuries, because they become more desirable to people looking for a safe place to park money. At least right now, that’s not happening, which he thinks could signal a crisis of confidence in the stability of the U.S. government and the debt it issues. “If we’re moving to this new world where the U.S. just can’t be trusted, then do we really want to hold a lot of Treasuries?” he said as he sketched out investors’ thinking. “Do we really want to use the dollar as a reserve?” It turns out th...

 Well, you morons, let’s just keep track of how that works out for ya……

 I know words, I have the best words. I’m like, really smart,  a stable genius. There. Feel better now?

 

  A top economist was shocked to learn the   Trump administration   used his research to justify its hefty tariffs — insisting the White House got his formula “very wrong” and grossly miscalculated the levies for each country. Brent Neiman, a University of Chicago economics professor, said in a  New York Times op-ed  that President Trump’s sweeping tariff regime should have been roughly four times less if Neiman’s study had been followed correctly. The economic expert, who co-wrote the research with three other renowned economists, noted that his first question when Trump  unveiled its tariff rates  was: “How on earth did it calculate such huge rates?”

 In a place without the workforce needed? And who the hell wants to do factory assembly work? Mind numbing labor, for low pay? Oh yeah, his BASE! The morons who could move from a single wide to a double wide if they made a higher hourly wage. At BEST, economists say there could be two million jobs added. Low paying jobs. BUT, tens of millions of good, high paying jobs will be lost in the interim, as the world goes into recession, based on the whims of a LYING, power hungry wannabe dictator, who justifies his bullshit moves by quoting totally discredited ‘economists’. In Navarro’s book, the expert he kept quoting was Ron Varra, who nobody could trace. That’s cuz his X-spurt was just an anagram of his own name. Thanks a BUNCH, you MAGA morons….

  And from the allegedly stable genius president responsible for this economic suicide, this is  what we heard Wednesday as he announced the tariffs : “An old-fashioned term that we use ‒ groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it.”

  While Americans reeled from watching the economy tank and their retirement accounts get slap-chopped, President   Donald Trump   – lover of tariffs, destroyer of economies, liar above all –   spent the weekend golfing in Florida and   hobnobbing with wealthy pals . He was gracious enough to  take a break from the links Saturday  to tell Americans, via social media, to “HANG TOUGH.” Thanks, buddy. As we await  whatever fresh hell Monday’s stock market brings  and brace for the global response to the ludicrous tariffs you slapped on pretty much everyone,  including some random penguins , we’ll do our best to hang tough, comforted by the fact that you and your assorted weirdo billionaires had a lovely weekend.

  Elon Musk  called  President Donald Trump's  top trade adviser Peter Navarro a "moron" and "dumber than a sack of bricks" Tuesday as the tariff debate continues to  expose rifts  inside the Republican administration and among the president's closest allies.

 Dotard is planning a yuuuge military parade, just like Russia and China, for his next BIRTHDAY? Just when you think the asshole can’t possibly get any worse…..

 Being president isn’t enough. Dictator for life is his goal, with the entire world kissing his YUUGE, pasty, white ass You know that if old Joe had gutted our cybersecurity against Russia, that FOX and the Pubs would be SCREAMING, as they should be. But, No Problem, with Boss Hogg. When President Donald Trump abruptly fired the head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command on Thursday, it was the latest in a series of moves that have torn away at the country’s cyberdefenses just as they are confronting the most sophisticated and sustained attacks in the nation’s history. The commander, Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, had sat atop the enormous infrastructure of American cyberdefenses until his removal, apparently under pressure from the far-right Trump loyalist Laura Loomer. He had been among the U.S. officials most deeply involved in pushing back on Russia, dating to his work countering Moscow’s interference in the 2016 election. His dismissal came after weeks in which the Tr...

 Just wait til the rest of the world gets their shit together and drops the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. THEN Dotard and his pal Putin can REALLY celebrate, cuz their plan, to WRECK the US will be right on track. Screw him and the ignorant sheep he rode in on.

  Pro-Trump  Sen. Ted Cruz  is warning that the  president’s steep and dramatic tariff  increases against virtually every country on the planet could usher in a political “bloodbath” for Republicans in the 2026 cycle.

Paula White,   one of President Trump’s most faithful and powerful evangelical supporters and a   senior adviser to his new White House Faith Office,  is  offering “ seven supernatural blessings ” for the Easter season. If you “honor God” during the period of Passover and Easter, “God will assign an angel to you, he’ll be an enemy to your enemies, he’ll give you prosperity, he’ll take sickness away from you, he will give you long life, he’ll bring increase in inheritance, and he’ll bring a special year of blessing.” The suggested price for these extraordinary gifts is  an offering to Paula White Ministries of $1,000 or more, and if health, wealth and an angel weren’t enough, White’s ministry will also give you a  gorgeous Waterford crystal cross. I can hardly wait….

  Longtime CNBC host   Jim Cramer   lit into President   Donald Trump   on Thursday after his across-the-board tariffs caused the   stock market to tank .   “I thought they were going to do something,” Cramer told  CNN ’s  Erin Burnett . “And what’d they do? They cratered the damn stock market and gave us nothing.”

 “ Yesterday, the president made one of the dumbest decisions in history, one that will negatively impact every single American family, every single one. He’s walking us into the dumbest and most avoidable recession in history.” Their press event came a day after Trump announced his across-the-board tariffs on all U.S. trading partners. The president’s actions have sent global markets into a tailspin, and by the start of U.S. trading on Thursday, he’d erased  roughly $2.5 trillion  from the S&P 500. The only question is whether the inflation or the recession will be worse. Most world leaders are cringing, but one is actually laughing, cuz it’s a wonderful thing, when a plan comes together….

  Trump unveils $5 million ‘gold card’ for rich migrants emblazoned with his image Wow, where can I get me one of them? It’ll go great with my golden tennies, Chinese Bible and Trump super hero trading cards.

 Who the hell wants these low paying, mind numbing manufacturing jobs? Oh yeah, his uneducated, low rent base…. Never mind….

But one  Times  reader (unknow to me, of course) replied in a Reader Comment that Trump has no intention of “Making America Great Again”.  He posits that Trump is trying to “burn the whole thing down” so that he and his billionaire cronies can swoop in and make a “crony capitalist” killing by buying up what’s left of the ruins for a discount price – jus like Putin did in post-Soviet Russia. HA! What have I been telling you, right HERE…. By now, it should be clear to all but the most willfully blind that Donald Trump has no real interest in "Making America Great Again," let alone in making the country stronger or more prosperous.  What we are witnessing is not a populist movement to restore American greatness, but rather  destruction capitalism in action —the idea that chaos and institutional breakdown can be profitable for those at the top. Trump and his inner circle of enablers are not playing a political game in the traditional sense. Instead, they are advanci...

 Anyone who hasn’t seen this coming is living in a fantasy world, with their head, deeply and firmly implanted. Duh, who couldn’t see that Boss Hogg was gonna wreck it all? But, even I, who have been shifting out of equities to bonds and precious metal for quite some time, didn’t think the dumbass would be THIS obvious, in his attempts to wreck our country, as this tariff disaster will work its way through the economy, probably causing a major recession, probably worldwide, cuz once these things get started, they snowball. Does anyone think that the US can build factories in the US in the foreseeable future? Before the next election? Before the dumbass can totally wreck our country? And who the hell wants to work in a low paying, mind numbing factory? Oh yeah, his low rent, uneducated base. Never mind….

 This was a state that Trump won, and where his pal Elon gave out million dollar checks and paid $100/vote. The Liberal won by double digits, and in an election in deep red Florida districts, the Republicans’ margin was cut in half. It’s called buyer’s remorse, and it’s only just begun. Thanks again, you clueless sheep.

 And this is on top of many weeks of falling markets. And this before we find out about the retribution toward the US, by our ‘former’ partners and allies, and it gets WORSE.  Thanks a bunch, you gullible, ignorant FOXSheep, for voting in your boy… Any ‘buyers remorse’ yet?

 The system took decades/generations to create, and it was working well.  The concept was understandable to just about everyone. Except for one power-hungry asshole(R) in the White House A LYING, arrogant, wannabe dictator with the power, and will, to wreck the world economy, as he hopes leaders will come begging to him. Screw the jackass and the gullible, ignorant sheep who put him in office!

 Just wait until the leaders of the free world, minus Dotard, realize they can replace the dollar, which has been the world’s Reserve Currency, since WWII, with the Euro. The CAN, and might do it. And it will SINK the US economy…..Which is Boss Hogg’s ultimate plan.

  “This has to be the biggest unforced economic policy errors in US history,”   wrote   David Beckworth, an economist with the Mercatus Center, a right-leaning think tank.   The Nobel-Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman called the tariffs ‘shockingly stupid’. Trump’s tariff announcement was full-on crazy. Not only is he imposing higher tariffs than almost anyone expected, but he’s justifying them with completely false claims about other countries’ tariffs. I don’t know where his numbers are coming from, but they have nothing to do with reality. ... It’s a really bad day for the U.S. economy. Since the tariffs are paid by U.S. importers who can raise prices to recoup all or part of the cost of the tariffs, Trump’s “liberation day” announcement this week could be tantamount to the largest tax increase on U.S. consumers in decades.  At the same time, economists have said the tariffs could increase price inflation and slow economic growth, potentially even throwing...

 Based on his new tariffs and reactions from world leaders, there is now a unification. It’s the free world, vs Trump and the US…..and I’m sure that’s gonna work out REAL well for us. Russia Isn't On Donald Trump's New Tariffs List Cuba, North Korea and Belarus are also absent. The World Reacts To Trump's Sweeping Tariffs: 'No Basis In Logic' “Nobody wants a trade war," said one British official. Thanks again, Rupert and you morons who swallow his crap.

  Trump accused the EU of imposing a 39% tariff on U.S. products. Dismayed EU officials claimed the actual tariff is less than 5%, and the World Trade Organization has put the rate at about 5%. So where do the administration tariffs numbers come from? Easy.  They just pulled them out of Trump’s fat ass….

 The low rent MAGA morons who are Boss Hogg’s base are gonna be the ones hurt MOST by his idiotic policies. The bad news? We’re ALL going down in the same sinking ship, but luckily, some of us have better life preservers than others…

  April 3 (Reuters) - Several high-ranking National Security Council officials were fired on Thursday morning, according to three people familiar with the matter, in what appears to be the first significant purge of  Donald Trump's  second presidency. AND, we now have this… US sends 2nd aircraft carrier to Middle East as Trump threatens to bomb Iran A second U.S. aircraft carrier headed to the Middle East after President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran.

  WOOO-HOOOOO! Welcome to President Donald “ Tariff Man ”   Trump’s "Liberation Day" !  I’ve been waiting for this day like it’s Christmas in April, and I am PUMPED AND READY to be liberated from the tyranny of low-priced goods and the weighty yoke of a strong stock market.  What I do know is that our  liberation will come via tariffs , which are always great and effective. I know that because the president says they are always great and effective and  goober-ish “economists” say they are not . SHUT UP, NUMBER-NERD ECONOMISTS! WHY WOULD I BELIEVE YOU WHEN I CAN BELIEVE A MAN WHO WANTS TO SELL ME A BIBLE WITH HIS NAME ON IT?!? Is it possible Liberation Day might lead to rising prices, stagflation or, as  Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi told CNN , “a serious recession” and “a wipeout for the economy”? Sure. But the epic loss of jobs will be worth it because President Trump will have liberated us from the Biden economy, which received ha...

 where the economy was totally wrecked, and the rich, powerful oligarchs picked up the pieces and stole the wealth of the country.

Trump repeated his frequent false claim that, because of the tariffs he imposed on China during his first term, the US “took in hundreds of billions of dollars” that “they paid.” In fact, US importers, not foreign exporters like China,  make the tariff payments , and  study after study  has found that Americans bore the overwhelming majority of the cost of Trump’s first-term tariffs on China.  Nearly all of the money taken in by the government was paid out to farmers, in subsidies, because other country’s tariffs made their crops unsaleable.  And…. Trump, claiming “we subsidize a lot of countries,” falsely said “it’s close to $200 billion a year” with Canada. Trump has repeatedly used this $200 billion figure to describe the US trade deficit with Canada in particular, which is actually far lower than $200 billion;  official US statistics  show the 2024 deficit with Canada in goods and services trade was $35.7 billion.  And, he says he’s punishing ...

 Thanks a bunch, you gullible, clueless FOXSwallowing sheep. This was the cover of ‘The Economist’, a rightwing publication, at the end of Oct, 2024.

 This, on top of weeks of losses, after all time records under old Joe.  It’s just our savings and retirement $… Thanks again, Rupert, and all you gullible, ignorant MAGA morons who put the asshole in office.

 tanking US and world markets. BUT, Dotard had an explanation…. The president used aggressive rhetoric to describe a global trade system that the United States helped to build after World War II, saying “our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered” by other nations. And if that makes sense to you, you’re obviously a misinformed, uninformed, clueless, gullible sheep. Thanks again, Rupert.

 the uninformed, misinformed sheep who get their ‘news’ from the clowns at Bullshit Mountain wouldn’t know…..cuz FOX just ignored the story today. Nothing new, but telling.
