  11 Million Visitors Short: Inside America’s Continuing Tourism Slump Last year, the U.S. was the only major destination to see a decline in international travelers. With increased scrutiny at the border, ICE violence and unpredictable policies, the new year isn’t looking better, as foreign visitors look and spend elsewhere. Visitors from Canada, usually the second-largest source of U.S. tourism after Mexico,  plunged by 28 percent  in January compared to January 2024.

 Like the head of the Wrestling Foundation to lead the Dept of Education, RFK Jr, with ZERO medical background to head the nation’s health, a Big Oil exec to lead the EPA, an Iowa National Guard, alcoholic clown to lead the Dept of Defense, Christie Noem, the dog killer, totally unqualified to lead the DHS, etc, etc. What a bunch of LOSERS, but perfect for Captain Bonespurs, who wants only Yes Men, for his bullshit.

  Markets Rise, Economists Can’t Stop Laughing, After SCOTUS Slaps Down Trump Tariffs The U.S. markets all rose Friday after the Supreme Court slapped down President Donald Trump’s “emergency” tariffs, with traders overlooking otherwise disappointing economic data, most likely caused by Trump’s tariffs.

  The Supreme Court struck down most of the “emergency” tariffs that President   Donald Trump   foisted on the world, in an extraordinary   6-3 decision   on Friday that upholds a key separation of powers. The ruling held that the  International Emergency Economic Powers Act , or IEEPA, did not authorize the president to impose tariffs and remanded the case with instructions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. And, OF COURSE, Thomas, Alito and Cavanaugh went along with Boss Hogg, as they continue too kiss his fat ass, with tongue….

 

 

 

  Judge: Trump administration is recklessly violating the law   The Associated Press A federal judge has accused the Trump administration of terrorizing immigrants and recklessly violating the law in its efforts to deport millions of people living in the country illegally. Citing the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, the judge said the White House had “extended its violence on its own citizens.”

  The Associated Press WASHINGTON>> The National Governors Association is pulling out of an annual meeting at the White House after President Donald Trump declined to invite two Democratic governors, undercutting one of Washington’s few remaining bipartisan gatherings. The Republican president had refused to include Democratic Govs. Jared Polis of Colorado and Wes Moore of Maryland and recently blasted them on social media as “not worthy of being there.” Not worthy? My ass…..

 BUT, that doesn’t mean they haven’t had a YUUUGE long lasting effect on US trade. The rest of the world has forged new deals, pacts and partnerships, cutting out US businesses, products and farmers.  New alliances that will hurt our country for MANY YEARS! Screw you MAGA morons who put your head moron in charge…..

 Only a real idiot could screw up a deal like that. And that’s the jackass that the MAGA morons elected to run our country. Thanks a bunch, you gullible, clueless sheep.

 Roberts, Gorsuch and Barrett joined the enlightened side, although they’re all Trump appointees. OF COURSE the moron bloc of Thomas, Alito and Cavanaugh kept their heads deep in their asses. Will be interesting to see how it all shakes out, but should be a major ketchup alert! President Donald Trump repeatedly has promised that his steep tariffs would reduce U.S. imports, shrink the trade deficit and lead to a revival in American manufacturing. So far, the opposite has occurred, cuz the jackass doesn’t even know WHO PAYS his stoopid tariffs. Stay tuned….

  The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup,” Trump wrote, implying that a new trade deal with China could have extreme—and inexplicable—cultural consequences. This kind of racist nonsense is to be expected from a president who’s built his career on  taking slap shots at immigrants .

 

The new banner, with Trump’s ugly mug, hanging from the DOJ is a classic Soviet/Maoist/North Korean propaganda blunderbuss blast to make it crystal clear that Dear Leader now completely owns the DOJ.  Subtle it is not.  And Trump’s brownshirt, paramilitary goons marching across the foreground is a nice touch.   Trump is screaming it out loud.  He and Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Russell Vought, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Kristi Noem and Steve Bannon (with Peter Theil, Elon Musk and Leonard Leo lurking in the shadows) are PROUD that they’re openly staging a synergistic Christo-fascist / white supremacist / dystopian cyberpunk-nihilist / centi-billionaire coup against the United States.  They WANT people to see this image so that they begin to realize that Big Brother is now fully in charge – and that Resistance is Futile.  The DOJ is now the Stasi – and if you don’t believe it, just “FAFO”.   And they’re going to pull this coup off...

  A banner featuring a photo of   Donald Trump  was hung from   the Justice Department’s   headquarters in Washington on Thursday in one of the most public signs of the president’s influence over a department that once brought criminal charges against him. The Justice Department has traditionally operated with a degree of independence from the White House. That separation, however, has eroded during Trump’s second term as the Justice Department has gone after his perceived political foes while ignoring crimes by his minions.

  https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-tariffs-dirty-tax-38-145000117.html President Trump has repeatedly promised that his steep tariffs would reduce U.S. imports, shrink the trade deficit and lead to a revival in American manufacturing. So far, the opposite has occurred. U.S. imports grew last year, and the trade deficit in goods hit a record high, data released Thursday showed, as Mr. Trump’s policies scrambled trade and caused chaos in world markets, while hurting the US.

  Last week, the New York Federal Reserve Bank’s Liberty Street Economics blog published a post titled   “Who Is Paying for the 2025 U.S. Tariffs?”   In it, four members of the bank’s research group looked at the “tariff incidence” — as they explained it, “the technical term for how the costs of a tariff are split between foreign exporters and domestic importers” — for goods imported through last November. Exporters can lower their goods’ price, shifting the tariff incidence towards them by eating some of the tariff cost, or keep them the same rate, passing on the cost to the importer. While Trump may claim that foreign companies are paying the bulk of the tariff costs, the Fed researchers instead asserted that “nearly 90% of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”  The Trumpies reaction. FIRE the people who made the study! Same old shit from the same old bullshitters…Fire the Messenger, and KEEP LYING! Screw Boss Hogg and the morons...

  Look how much Canadians hate the United States now It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia. Their message to America: It’s not us, it’s you. Canadians don’t see Trump’s America as merely an annoyance, the survey found. They consider the superpower next door the world’s greatest threat to peacetime. Screw you, MAGA morons….

 

  CNN   chief data analyst   Harry Enten   said on Tuesday that a growing number of Americans who voted for President   Donald Trump   in the 2024 election now regret it. And if given a mulligan, they’d pick former Vice President  Kamala Harris , according to a new poll. Enten said Trump won the popular vote in 2024 by about a percentage point and a half, but the new “redo” poll finds Harris now ahead by 8 points.

  Of the couple's testimony, Clinton emphasized they wanted the deposition to be public, as “we think sunlight is the best disinfectant.” “Get the files out. They are slow walking it. They are redacting the names of men who are in it. They are stonewalling legitimate requests from members of Congress that has nothing to do with us. Something is going on. They know it. I know it,” she added.

  Colbert’s audience booed the news.   “Then I was told, in some uncertain terms, that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on,” Colbert added. “And because my network clearly doesn’t want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.” Colbert recapped how FCC Chair  Brendan Carr  is  threatening  to enforce equal time regulations for TV talk shows, which have long been exempt.  “Well, sir, you’re chairman of the FCC,” Colbert said. “So, FCC you!” Carr’s proposal, Colbert noted,  does not apply to right-wing talk radio , despite the fact that the FCC also regulates radio.  “Let’s just call this what it is:  Donald Trump ’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV,” Colbert said. “He’s like a toddler with too much screen time. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diapers.”

  Yes, America has deep and abiding cultural ties to Europe, including those of ethnic kinships and shared religious traditions. Such ties are valuable and should be cherished and nourished for the generations ahead on both sides of the Atlantic. But the strongest ties we have with the Europeans is that we joined together eighty-five years ago in common cause to rid the world of Nazi fascism – a barbarian cult of personality built upon a foundation of racial hatred and a strategic aim of “cultural dominance” by “the Master Race”. 250,000 American servicemen gave their lives to help liberate Europe from the Nazis and bring freedom, democracy and universal human rights back to the Continent. Imagine how stunned the Europeans now are to see a swaggering, ignorant, bully of an American president – drunk on his own cult of personality and driven by poisonous strains of pure ethnic and religious bigotry – demanding that the Anglo-American alliance be based not upon our shared political, ...

  Rep.  Jamie Raskin  (D-Md.) said last week that he searched the unredacted version of the Epstein files for “Don,” “Donald” and “Trump” and  got more than 1 million results . They sure ain’t protesting the VICTIMS….as their names and pictures have been released, while the perps re protected. Same old shit from Boss Hogg. Those who’ve read the redacted version say thousands of the word ‘don’t’ have been removed become of its closeness to Don.  Wow, I’m shocked!

  However, the compensation model will be changing a bit for the 2026 Winter Olympics after financier Ross Stevens  donated $100 million  to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), promising $200,000 to each U.S. athlete who competes. The first half of the money will pay out 20 years after the first Olympic games they competed in, or when they're 45, with the second half being a "guaranteed benefit for their families after they pass away."

  Our tax dollars aren’t just being used to fund cruelty – they’re being used to fund idiocy. The aforementioned Big Beautiful Bill – now law – is projected to add  $3.4 trillion  to the already gargantuan national debt, all while decimating Medicaid access and gutting federal agencies. The  Department of Government Efficiency  (DOGE) didn’t live up to its name, only saving approximately  $1.4 billion , according to Politico, and ultimately COSTING the U.S. government thanks to  lawsuits . In October, The  Associated Press reported that the country was now $38 trillion in debt after the fastest accumulation of $1 trillion since the COVID-19 pandemic. BUT, Trump and his family are making out like bandits, adding BILLIONS to their coffers…..and ‘They’ve Only Just Begun’, to loot the US Treasury….. Thanks again, you MAGA morons….

 

 

  Political Armageddon could really be on horizon While I appreciate David M. Drucker’s notion that we need not declare that the sky is falling before and after each election, I do believe this administration and its Republican cohorts in the House and Senate have crossed some governance red lines that contradict the basic principles this country was founded on. Shooting and beating American citizens in the streets, demolishing history, covering up obvious crimes, threatening our allies, targeting political adversaries and using the office for personal enrichment are just a few things that have occurred and gone unchecked by powers that control Congress. Most recently, they have been trying their absolute hardest to preserve power or at least limit the damage in the upcoming elections with their calls for gerrymandered districts, laws that will restrict voting and a needless investigation into a settled election. While Drucker points out the pendulum frequently swings back in our p...

RE: “Trump plans to host governors at White House, but only Republicans,” Feb. 8 news story President Trump’s initial ban on Democratic governors from the National Governors Association meeting at the White House was bad enough. Worse, for Colorado, Trump personally uninvited Gov. Jared Polis from the bipartisan dinner (with gubernatorial spouses) that follows. It’s obvious Trump is royally enraged at our state. Why? Recall: Tina Peters, former Mesa County clerk and current MAGA martyr, is sitting in state prison, beyond the reach of Trump’s presidential pardon. And Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was a key Republican vote in forcing the release of the Epstein files — in revenge, Trump canceled a big water project in her district. But Tr...

  December was a busy month for retaliation. The president announced he would dismantle the Boulder-based National Center for Atmospheric Research, vetoed a unanimously-passed bill to finish a water conduit to southeastern Colorado residents, rejected emergency funds for fire and flood disasters in western Colorado, canceled $109 million in transportation grants for Colorado, and issued a fake pardon to Tina Peters. In January, the administration notified the state that it would withhold funds for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, the Social Services Block Grant program and the Child Care and Development Fund pending “review.” In February, the administration announced it would take back $25 million in health funds from Colorado. Colorado isn’t just standing up for itself but for the constitutional provisions that ensure the division of power between the federal government and states known as federalism. In the words of that inspiring November video: “Don’t give up the ship!”...

  Bill Maher fumed Friday at President   Donald Trump   and the Environmental Protection Agency over an aggressive administration move aimed at rolling back climate change regulations. “Trump has always said it’s a hoax, the whole thing with climate change,” Maher said on “Real Time.” “He said, scientists, he says, are ‘stupid people.’ He says, the idea that greenhouse gases cause climate change, there’s no basis in fact.” The   comedian quipped , “He thinks it’s just some bullshit that people made up out of nothing to get rich. You know, like crypto…….” The day before, the Trump administration   rescinded a 2009 scientific finding that stated carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases pose a danger to public health. The finding was the legal underpinning of almost all climate regulations for power plants, vehicles and other sources of pollution. ….. “And, yes, his EPA director, Lee Zeldin, said this is the single,   this is a quote , ‘single largest deregul...
