Globalists use the threat of foreign aggression to launch U.S. aggression. It has been standing operating procedure since World War II.
Globalists use twin threats of recession or depression to perpetuate a world economy they control.
The World Health Organization began planning the next global pandemic during its COVID test run.
And climate change devotees used the weather to gain dictatorial control over every aspect of how people live their lives.
So here is Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase chairman, sitting down for a Fox interview, expressing his deep concern for our shared economic future if tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump inhibit the import of goods from the very companies CEOs such as Dimon financed in China.
He claims he is hearing talk of recession from “everybody.” Definitely not everybody. No one gets near this guy unless they are billionaires, useful politicians or an adoring press corps.
But there it is. There is the threat used to maintain the status quo.
Evidence of the latter is confirmed by the first words of the Fox report: “Jamie Dimon …has his finger on the pulse of America’s financial state. …”
It would follow, therefore, that Donald Trump, a billionaire with international negotiating skills, is wrong about tariffs. That conclusion was the purpose of the interview.
Progress, to Dimon, is essentially the status quo goal of world market growth. To American workers, it means big box stores filled with things made in Asia and big U.S. capital investments in overseas manufacturing. It appears the world traders can even deploy American military power to acquire the natural resources required to manufacture things in Asia.
“Made in the USA” disappeared from all manner of goods, from clothing and shoes to appliances and furniture and cars. Anything that required cheap labor went offshore.
Confronted with these conflicts, it is worth asking, “How did America become a wealthy and powerful nation?” The people who arrived here in the first three decades of settlement, worked the land. People spread across the continent from east to west to find and to claim ownership and work the land. Families often had many children, in part to work the land. People were independent. And a better life was their reward.
And then the 20th century happened, and industry claimed the larger share of available workers, and the machines industry produced reduced the agricultural demand for labor. Early on workers and industrious people were still in demand.
Next, in the 1960s, first the major colleges and universities, with support of the local school districts, declared only college graduates would be successful people equipped to participate in the American dream. Someone had to spend at least 16 years in a formal educational setting to even apply for a worthwhile job. As a result, skilled labor, along with unskilled labor, has been steady denigrated in America for 60 years.
For the first time in decades, Americans are listening to a politician who told them American labor had been the victim of American policy, and we needed, as a nation, to recapture and reaffirm what got the United States to No. 1.
There was some skepticism, as the endorsement of the working man and woman came from a billionaire. Voters strayed in 2020, and made a really big mistake.
While Donald Trump shows up at labor union meetings and sporting events, Dimon worries about disruption of the international financial scheme that made him wealthy.
The 125% tariff on China eliminates the need to build more manufacturing plants in China. If our goods are not made in China, there is no need to AI automate the ports to eliminate American jobs. Besides, 125% has no permanence. It is a negotiating figure.
Americans have noticed. And Americans do not seem to be particularly concerned about the racial and sexist extremism being acted out in the cities by opposing political forces. More to the liking of most folks would be a plentiful job supply that attracts the homeless back into the workforce.
The National Guard and Capitol Police respond to riots at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021.
Former US Special Operations solder Joe Kent, who currently serves as the Director of the National Counter Terrorism Center, sat for a confirmation hearing before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
During his testimony on Thursday leftist Senator Mark Kelly asked Kent about Signal group non-scandal and his prior comments on the FBI’s involvement in the January 6 protests and riot.
Kent did not spend any time on the Signal non-scandal – apparently everyone uses Signal including Democrats and have used the app for several years.
Kent also did not retract any of his earlier comments on the FBI’s involvement in January 6. In fact, Kent doubled down.
This was an incredible exchange. Joe Kent is a real pro!
Joe Kent drops truth bombs in Senate Intelligence Committee on FBI involvement in January 6.
Senator Mark Kelly: Do you believe Jan 6 was intentionally organized or directed?
Joe Kent: Still under investigation, we’re looking into whether elements of the government could have enhanced the criminal acuity of some of the rioters that day.
Senator Mark Kelly: You’ve said on Twitter that the FBI and the intelligence community were involved in planning and directing the riot. Is that correct?
Joe Kent: Sounds like something I said, yeah.
Senator Mark Kelly: What evidence do you have for that claim?
Joe Kent: We’ve already identified that there were multiple confidential human informants ran by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies that were present in the crowd that day, directing, removing barriers, those types of things. This has been investigated widely. We’re continuing to look into it. I would say the FBI and other elements of the law enforcement apparatus attempted to suppress the fact that there was undercover confidential human informants that were part of these different groups. We also had intelligence leading up to January sixth that there was going to be violence that day. That speaks to some degree of intelligence infiltration into some of these groups.
Senator Mark Kelly: Who within the FBI?
Joe Kent: We’re looking into that right now.
Senator Mark Kelly: Which departments of the FBI?
Joe Kent: Probably the Washington field office.
Senator Mark Kelly: You believe the Washington field office was involved in the planning of the violence in the building next door on January 6th?
Joe Kent: It’s being looked into. I mean, look, we had- Who is looking into it? We are in the intelligence community. Yeah, we’re looking into it right now.
Senator Mark Kelly: Do you believe that the IC conducts actions of this nature against Americans?
Joe Kent: Does the IC, well, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, entrapping individuals? If you look at who was running the Washington field office during January sixth, so Steven De Antuono, he was also running the field office in Michigan, where many of the defendants were let go after they were accused of attempting to kidnap the governor because the vast majority of them were undercover FBI confidential informants. Unfortunately, this behavior does happen by members of law enforcement and the intelligence community. It’s incumbent upon us to make sure that we are transparent with the American people.
Senator Mark Kelly: Mr. Kemp, would you be willing to share this evidence of this investigation with this committee?
Joe Kent: I look forward to it, Senator. All right.
Once Again… This is not anything new for The Gateway Pundit readers. We have been tracking the many instances
of likely government operatives who were involved in the setup of innocent Trump supporters on January 6, 2021.
It all started when Nancy Pelosi refused to bring in National Guard soldiers to keep the peace that day. What did Old Nancy know about the that day?
In July 2022 TGP contributor Cara Castronuova released whistleblower documents, text messages, and audio transcripts of FBI informant James Knowles’s communications with his FBI handlers on January 6. The evidence exonerates Trump supporters and the Proud Boys of any conspiracy or planning to storm the US Capitol, to enter the US Capitol, or to overthrow official proceedings.
The evidence reported by Cara at The Gateway Pundit was explosive.
IT DID NOT HAPPEN as we all know. Now we have the proof!
So if the #2 in the Proud Boys was working with the FBI, and the lead militia guy in the Whitmer kidnaping plot was working with the FBI (along with numerous agents & informants in the group) one legitimate question is: How much was the FBI driving vs. investigating the plots?
INCIDENT 11: At least 3 FBI operatives or cutouts were speaking on the Oath Keepers "walkie-talkie" app used by the Oath Keepers on January 6th. They were THE ONLY ONES calling for violence!
We now know their names from the app: The government expressed little interest in identifying those behind the screennames on this chat-including 1% Watchdog, General Mark Davis CFA, and iWatchDirectorLaureen.
For some reason they were never questioned and the DOJ did not identify them at trial.
INCIDENT 12: The tactical commander for the US Capitol Police admitted under oath that agitators who were highly trained ripped down fencing prior to the protest at the US Capitol on January 6.
Fed caught on camera taking down perimeter fence so the FBI could later arrest Trump supporters.
The report described Gabbard’s revelation as “jaw-dropping” and explained she said, “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections.”
One of the president’s executive orders concerns elections managers being required to use paper ballots, and not be allowed to rely solely on electronic machines.
The Pundit explained, “Her statement confirmed what many conservatives have long suspected — that the very foundations of America’s electoral system have been compromised.”
The report said, “Last year, some of the world’s top hackers convened in Las Vegas for the annual DEF CON conference, specifically at the Voting Village event, to probe and expose vulnerabilities in voting machines set to be used in the upcoming November election. From Friday through Sunday, hackers at Voting Village tested various voting machines and related equipment, attempting to bypass security measures. Harri Hursti, co-founder of Voting Village, noted that the list of vulnerabilities found was extensive but consistent with previous years.”
Further, Scott Algeier, of the Information Technology-Information Sharing and Analysis Center, told the publication the solution isn’t simple.
“Even if you find a vulnerability next week in a piece of modern equipment that’s deployed in the field, there’s a challenge in getting the patch and getting the fix out to the state and local elections officials and onto the equipment before the November election. It’s not a 90-day fix, It’s not a Microsoft every Tuesday, issue your patch and everything works fine. It’s a pretty complicated process.”
Voting machines, in fact, have been documented to have been hacked previously. In 2017 at DEF CON, one hacker took just 90 minutes to get inside the voting machine and vote remotely.
The report continued, “In 2023, University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Halderman, revealed in a Georgia courtroom that Dominion Voting Systems were vulnerable to hacks.”
HOLY CRAP! Tulsi Gabbard announces they’ve FOUND EVIDENCE of voting machines vulnerable to TAMPERING to steal elections
“We have evidence of these electronic voting systems being vulnerable to hackers and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results.”
A small Michigan town is gaining widespread attention in a battle over free speech because it threatened lawsuits against residents whose “statements” cause “harm to the city.”
Bangor, Michigan residents face the threat of a policy on supposed defamatory speech that the city passed after criticism of city official Justin Weber over him working
as both the chief of police and city manager at once, MLive reported
. The city claims some unidentified residents falsely stated he takes “two paychecks,” leading them to initiate a crackdown on speech; a crackdown which critics call unlawful.
“My mission is accountability, transparency and I want to give Bangor back to its people,” Steve Honeycutt, who is now running for mayor, told MLive. Honeycutt reportedly kickstarted the controversy in recent months by filing public records requests with the city and publicly criticizing Weber
for working his two top city jobs simultaneously.
Weber did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. Honeycutt could not be reached.
Bangor’s city council passed a motion in January allowing the city attorney “to file [civil] charges with the court against all parties involved in statements that have caused harm to the City.” Officials have said that multiple residents are making false claims about Weber’s salary, without naming Honeycutt, as well as “burdensome” records requests, according to MLive.
Weber issued a statement
on Jan. 23 attempting to clarify the policy, saying the city “supports free speech
to the maximum extent allowed by law.”
“The Council authorized the City Attorney to take action against speakers who knowingly lie about the City by filing actions to stop or enjoin the lies and by seeking to recover amounts [of money] equal to the damage caused to the City by the lies,” Weber said.
Critics, including a national free speech advocacy group, have called the policy illegal, because (among other things) government entities historically cannot sue for defamation. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) in particular didn’t buy Weber’s explanation. The group told the city council in a February letter
that the Constitution only allows individual people to sue for defamation, citing Supreme Court rulings.
Enforcing Bangor’s new policy “would violate the First Amendment, which completely bars government entities like the City of Bangor from suing for defamation,” FIRE wrote.
“If Bangor officials believe a constituent has made a false statement about the City, they can publicly condemn the statement, express disagreement, or say why they believe it inaccurate,” the letter reads. “What they may not do is sue or otherwise punish the speaker.”

A report
at the Gateway Pundit calls it “peak liberal lunacy” and it certainly breaks ground for those entertainers who get in front of a camera and interview people.
It was when CNN’s “golden boy,” Anderson Cooper, actually “misgendered” a civil rights lawyer.
It happened during a town hall in which CNN was promoting Bernie Sanders. And the result was Cooper “on the receiving end of a brutal pronoun smackdown.”
Calling for Anderson Cooper’s immediate resignation for believing what his eyes were telling him he saw
Cooper called out Grace Thomas, a Democrat activist.
“I want to introduce Grace Thomas. She’s a local civil rights attorney,” Cooper said.
Thomas immediately corrected him: “It’s they/them pronouns, actually.”
The Gateway Pundit furthered the story: “And the irony? Grace—sorry, they—went on to ask Bernie Sanders a question about why ‘men’ are abandoning the Democrat Party. She demanded to be called they/them, but was perfectly comfortable referring to an entire demographic as men. The hypocrisy was too loud to ignore.”
Social media noticed: “Isn’t she misgendering by calling people she doesn’t know ‘men’? At some point will she realize her ideas are insane?”
Collin Rugg, of Trending Politics, took to X, “CNN’s Anderson Cooper gets corrected after misgendering a civil rights attorney at a town hall event with Bernie Sanders. Wow, what a bigot. Lmao.”
Podcast host Riley Gaines demanded, “Anderson Cooper’s immediate resignation for believing what his eyes were telling him he saw. Bigot.”
The ideology of using pronouns that are often nonsensical to refer to people because that’s what they choose comes out of the LGBT community, specifically the transgenders, who insist on being called the gender they are not because that’s what they want.
Following the science, changing from male to female, or vice versa, doesn’t happen, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
Joe Biden was a radical fan of transgenderism, insisting on chemicals and surgical body mutilations even for children. President Donald Trump looked at the science and reversed that agenda immediately.
Senate Republicans are praising President Donald Trump’s announcement of a pause on certain reciprocal tariffs to most countries that did not issue retaliatory tariffs.
Trump announced
Wednesday afternoon that he authorized a 90-day pause on tariffs on more than 75 countries that did not retaliate against the United States, while keeping in place his 10% baseline tariffs. Republican Senators applauded the president’s pause announcement as a good opportunity for the administration to negotiate with countries around the world to lower their trade barriers.
“I don’t consider it to be a pause, I consider it to be a declaration of victory,” Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy told reporters Wednesday shortly after Trump’s announcement. “No person with an IQ that’s greater than his age or her age can think that half of the world’s country would have come to the American people and say ‘we want to lower our trade barriers’ had President Trump not done what he did.”
“Trump haters will not like that,” Kennedy said. “But that’s just a natural fact.”
Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, who has sought to rein in the president’s ability to unilaterally impose tariffs without congressional approval, also approved
of Trump’s decision to pause tariffs.
Trump also announced a tariff hike on China to 125% “effective immediately.” This came after China raised
tariffs on American imports from 34% to 84% overnight.
“At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A, and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable,” Trump wrote
in a Truth Social post announcing the tariff pause on most countries and tariff hike on China.
“It’s obvious I like what President Trump did,” Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville told reporters. “Pause it, give countries a chance to come in and negotiate with him and his team. Keep hammering China.”
“They don’t want to talk — find out how big a boy they are,” Tuberville added. “It’s good to see other countries coming in, negotiating – over 70 of them now.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said
Wednesday the Trump administration will seek trade deals with American allies to lower tariffs on U.S. imports in the coming weeks.
Senate Republicans also lauded Trump’s decision to raise tariffs on China, who has pledged to “fight to the end” in the escalating trade war with the United States.
“China needs to be treated differently,” Republican Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt told reporters. “China is the most unfair place in the world. They rip off our IP. They have trade barriers. They have tariffs. China is making a huge mistake in isolating this.”
“The goal is to level the playing field through America throughout the world, to have tariffs be the same and to deal with non-tariff trade barriers,” Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham told
reporters Wednesday. “I can’t think of a better person to negotiate with China to get a good deal with America than Donald Trump.”
Trump’s tariff pause announcement sent
U.S. stocks rallying to one of their best days in years.
“I’m very happy that he [Trump] did it,” Kennedy told reporters. “I’m not as happy as the stock market or the bond market.”
