Dow Jones futures plummeted more that 600 points Friday morning as the Chinese commies announced a 34 percent retaliatory tariff on American products starting April 10th, CNBC reports on more MAGA, more winning. US producers sold an estimated $143.55 billion of products to Chinese customers in 2024, including mineral ore, oil, agricultural products such as grain, seed oils, and fruit, advanced machinery like nuclear reactor components, and specialized scientific/medical equipment.

“The Witch Hunt against Marine Le Pen is another example of European Leftists using Lawfare to silence Free Speech, and censor their Political Opponent, this time going so far as to put that Opponent in prison. It is the same ‘playbook’ that was used against me by a group of Lunatics and Losers… I don’t know Marine Le Pen, but do appreciate how hard she worked for so many years. She suffered losses, but kept on going, and now, just before what would be a Big Victory, they get her on a minor charge that she probably knew nothing about – Sounds like a ‘bookkeeping’ error to me. It is all so bad for France, and the Great French People, no matter what side they are on.”

“FREE MARINE LE PEN!” posted convcited felon President Trump late Thursday

Conservative South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is now conservative former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol after the country’s top court on Friday approved the National Assembly’s impeachment articles and removed the pilled son of a bitch from office, CNN reports.

Yoon had lost his shit after watching one too many right wing conspiracy YouTube videos and declared martial law, a fateful and fucking stupid decision that set in motion the events that led to Yoon’s removal and potentially facing the death penalty for insurrection four months later. If only…

Speaking to Newsmax assclown Rob Schmitt on “Rob Schmitt Tonight” on Thursday, couchfucker Vice President JD Vance asserted he and the rest the Trump administration were “feeling good” despite the catastrophic crash of the stock market and asserted that “one bad day” is going to render a “booming market for a long time,” despite the fact that it was pretty goddamned bad.

“We’re feeling good. Look, I frankly thought in some ways it could be worse in the markets because this is a big transition. You saw the president said earlier today; it’s like a patient who was very sick. We did the operation, and now it’s time to make the patient better. And that’s exactly what we’re doing,” Vance said and there’s probably video of this but who wants to see his stupid face.

“Prosecutor Kym Worthy has charged Christopher Dean Baldwin, 42, of Jackson, Michigan, in connection with stalking Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and her wife, Plymouth City Commissioner Alanna Maguire. On March 7, 2024, Baldwin was previously charged with two counts of Misdemeanor Stalking in connection with the victims. While the case was pending Baldwin was evaluated and found to be incompetent. On March 20, 2025, the case was dismissed and removed from the Third Circuit Court Criminal Division to the Probate Court Division. Because this is a 12-month offense, MCL 330.2044, requires that if Baldwin remains incompetent for 4 months (1/3 of the maximum), the case must be dismissed until, and if, he regains competency. He has been found incompetent for four months. He is now under the jurisdiction of Wayne County Third Circuit Court Probate Division and is housed in a secure facility. If he regains competence, the criminal case will be reinstated,” says the Wayne County, Michigan prosecutor’s office in a press release.

“On February 27, 2025, it is alleged that Defendant Baldwin used the address for Attorney General Nessel and Commissioner Maguire’s family home in Plymouth and Attorney General Nessel’s phone number without permission, to receive court documents from 12th District Court in Jackson County, Michigan. Christopher Dean Baldwin has been charged with two counts of Aggravated Stalking.”

It’s probably the last word of that headline where you’re questioning what the hell’s going on, so here’s a little background: “Sentinelese” is simply an exonym for the inhabitants of North Sentinel Island of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands territory in the eastern Indian Ocean, which is kind of like Skull Island from King Kong, (probably) minus the 50 ft tall ape and the dinosaurs he punches.

Nobody knows what the Sentinelese call themselves. Nobody knows anything about them, how many there are – though some estimates number them at a few hundred – or literally anything about their language or culture other than what can be observed from boats a safe distance from the island, which is about the size of Manhattan. They tend to moon boaters if they’re not shooting arrows or throwing spears at them. The Indian government has outlawed any contact with the Sentinelese as to avoid introducing any diseases for which they don’t have any immunity to.

And they killed the last guy who tried to talk to them, 26 year-old American self-anointed missionary John Allen Chau, in 2019. It’s not clear if it can be considered martyrdom if they didn’t actually know he was trying to convert them to Christianity. Cops decided against trying to recover Chau’s body.

Yet 24 year-old Arizona man Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov made it to the island and lived to be arrested for it, the BBC reports, mostly because they didn’t see him land on the shore and leave a can of Coke and a coconut for them as he filmed it for his social media following this week. It’s not clear how he was caught, what charges or how much prison time Polyakov will face yet, but he’s in the clink for at least the next three days as cops continue to interrogate the jackass for his intrusion.

It’s not clear what percent tariff the Trump Administration imposed on North Sentinel Island.

See the still frame above was originally supposed to be a blend of Ron “RonAnon” Johnson and Rafael “Ted” Cruz both separately expressing serious apprehension over the market reaction to “Liberation Day” just over 24 hours in, but accidentally took like the worst possible screen grab stupid Larry Kudlow and Cruz’s faces in that half of the clip and it’d be a shame to waste it. So yes it’s a double-header with RonAnon talking to a CBS reporter in the Capitol going first and Rafael on Kudlow afterward, even though the still only shows Cruz. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

From a Wednesday LinkedIn post by an entrepreneur named David Mauro, link at the end:

“I own a small plush toy business. We manufacture our products in China. ‘Liberation Day’ will be a fatal blow to lots of small businesses like ours… We make our products in China. We have a great company there we have been working with for 4 years to develop, product, refine and continuously improve. We have introduced 6 new products in that time period. But now, we are subject to a 34 percent tariff on imported goods to the US. Here’s how that works. We have a container coming over now. On $60,000 of product that we have already paid for, we will have to stroke a check to .gov for $20,000 just to get our products. Can you write a check to a stranger for 20,000 and be okay?”

“Probably not. Most small business are just getting by anyway. So, here’s what happens next. We have to raise prices. Maybe we got a loan to cover the duty. Maybe we took it out of our kids college funds. We had no choice. So we have to get that $ back. Prices go up. Demand goes down. Life sucks. Economics 101. But that’s just us. We have a lot of indy retailers that sell our products.”

“Retailers will face a bigger impact because they are buying at about half of list price. Duty tax will have a larger impact on them because there is just less margin to work with. So we get smoked, our customers get smoked our retailers get smoked. My point is the pain trickles down to everyone.”

“But, hey man, just make your product in the USA – screw those commies. First, the whole chi/com narrative that we have been spoon fed our entire lives is fake. But that’s another post for another time. Make it in the USA. Bruh… [Light editing there to Italicize MAGA voice telling him to suck it up].”

Yeah nobody really “bought the dip.” Dow Jones down 1,679, S&P down 274, Nasdaq down 1,050 in celebration of “Liberation Day” and the coming recession it will hath wrought. That’s so MAGA.

Having essentially zero information to go on besides guessing that it wasn’t staged, the Auto Wire reports a Cybertruck driver was threatened with a handgun by another driver during an incident on a highway outside Houston last week. “While the Lexus driver might just be engaging in regular road rage, instead of freaking out over the supposed political ideology of the Cybertruck driver, even that alone is shocking enough to warrant attention,” they write, as if this isn’t normal in Texas.

“Those relying on exports from nations with tariffs, such as China, will need to take a serious look at how they might absorb the extra costs or alter partnerships,” said Bryan Gerber, CEO of Hara Supply, the world’s largest manufacturer of cones and combustibles, also warning that tins, vape hardware, and specialized glass for bowls, bubblers, and bongs are hard to source domestically.

Would pay to see the look on some 22 year-old Joe Rogan listener living in North Carolina’s face after he walks into a smoke shop expecting everything to be the same price it was a week earlier and the $27.83 he has left in his bank account isn’t enough for the supplies he needs to tolerate his shift at the GameStop where he can’t afford a Nintendo Switch 2 on his employee discount.

“PRESIDENT TRUMP is leaving today for Florida, where he will attend the LIV Golf tour dinner at his Doral country club,” writes Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman, copied verbatim for effect.

At least 36 out of 72 ICE arrests touted by the Trump Regime since January were of non-citizen criminals who were already in prison when they were “arrested” and taken into ICE custody, the Washington Post has determined through a review. Another 17 were on probation or parole.

Following the lead of their fellow MAGA lawmakers in Tennessee, Republicans in the Florida state Senate this week requiring the owners of any public airports to make a monthly report to the state Department of Transportation as to whether they’ve encountered any planes equipped to disperse aerosolized chemicals in the atmosphere or lose state funding Florida Politics reports.

“I have a problem with people spraying perfume next to me sometimes. Don’t you have a problem with people spraying things into the atmosphere that really have no type of empirical data, that you just don’t know who they are or what they’re doing?” said sponsor, Republican state Senator Ilena Garcia, who admitted during a debate with a Dem colleague that she didn’t know of any actual plans to disperse chemtrails, but that they need to “separate fact from fiction” by passing it and catching these shaowdy malefactors in the act of taking off from airports intent on spraying unknown agents.

“I didn’t want this to be an issue where it was politicized,” Garcia said. “The bill really comes from concerns, a lot of concerns.” Cameoing in the public input phase of the bill’s consideration was convicted felon president Trump’s ex-wife Marla Maples – the one who’s still alive – who told state lawmakers that she saw a video on YouTube linking chemtrails to Alzheimer’s disease.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday announced his government will be imposing a 25 percent tariff on all American-made vehicles, apparently somehow calculating this as less the cost of Canadian-manufactured components in the cars, the CBC reports.

“Our tariffs will not affect auto parts because we know the benefits of our integrated production system,” said Carney, adding that the government is developing “a framework” for manufacturers to avoid counter-tariffs as long as they maintain production and investment in Canada.

Who does this lovely blonde with a BA from Syracuse think she is? From where does she get the temerity to ask these kinds of questions of the Dealmaker’s prowess as a practitioner of the high art of making deals? He literally wrote the book on it! He had a very successful show in which entrepreneurs competed with one another under extremely high-pressure conditions to become his apprentice at dealmaking! How fucking dare she voice doubt to his unparalleled magnificence!

President Laura Loomer took out the trash at the White House National Security Council this week, firing Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence and a former top staffer for now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as National Security Advisor Mike Waltz’s legislative director in Congress, and David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology and national security who served in the State Department during Acting President Donald Trump’s first term, CNN reports.

Seriously, the article’s headlined “White House fires three NSC staffers after president meets with far-right activist Laura Loomer.” CNN hasn’t confirmed yet whether Alex Wong, the Chinese-American Principal Deputy National Security Advisor, and a top aide to Waltz, has been fired yet, but they mention how Loomer had a raging hard-on for Wong due to his ethnicity and that he had been in some way involved in his dumbass boss’s fuckup inviting the Atlantic’s Jeff Goldberg into the Houthi PC Small Group. Meaning he’s a ChiCom fifth columnist trying to bring down the Trump Administration from within. Oh and his wife’s a federal prosecutor who worked on Capitol riot cases.

“Out of respect for President Trump and the privacy of the Oval Office, I’m going to decline on divulging any details about my Oval Office meeting with President Trump,” President Loomer told CNN on Thursday. “It was an honor to meet with President Trump and present him with my findings, I will continue working hard to support his agenda, and I will continue reiterating the importance of strong vetting, for the sake of protecting the President and our national security.”
