Sees U.S. as ‘Unreliable Partner’
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/4/2025 6:36:35 PM
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said President Donald Trump’s tariffs caused the world to see the United States as an “unreliable partner.” Host George Stephanopoulos said, “I think you identified the tariffs as the number one issue. Liberation Day is probably the most consequential day of the first 100 days. Is there an exit strategy for Donald Trump on this? He asked, “Can he make this sort of series of deals that limit the damage?” Christie said, “Well, it depends on what those deals look like, George. I will tell you, if you look at the reaction of the rest of the world,

CNN thought it was a good idea to air a sympathetic interview with a Sinaloa Cartel member, and it shockingly didn’t go the way they wanted.
X users are dragging the network for asking the anonymous gang member how he felt about President Donald Trump labeling him and his group terrorists after Trump vowed to crack down on drug trafficking. Perhaps the most shocking part of the bizarre interview, filmed in a secret location in Mexico, was that the gangster said that Trump has his “respect.”
Fox Business host Charles Payne tore into people taking advantage of the Biden administration’s decisions to defer or forgive student loans Monday, saying it was time to “pay your damn student loans.”
The Department of Education announced it would resume collections on delinquent student loans, ending a pause from the COVID-19 pandemic that the Biden administration sought to continue, The Hill reported. Payne expressed little sympathy for claims that forcing borrowers to repay student loans would cause them financial hardship.
Pro-Immigration Advocates Slam Trump’s

Pro-migration advocates are denouncing and urging illegal migrants to reject President Donald Trump’s offer of $1,ooo and free airline tickets to leave the country.
“This option might be WORSE for people who take advantage of it,” claimed Aaron Reichlin, a pro-migration advocate for the Immigration Council advocacy group. “For people [illegal migrants] in immigration court, it would likely mean a deportation order. For others [not detained for deportation], it would abandon clear options for staying.”
The economic payoff from subsidized re-migration home could be a huge economic windfall for ordinary Americans who will see better wages, more workplace investment, and cheaper housing.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard visited U.S. Army troops at Camp MacKall, a training facility, and Fort Bragg in North Carolina on Friday.
During her visit, Gabbard discussed with warfighters and U.S. military intelligence leaders the best way to integrate intelligence with the military’s operations in an effort to keep Americans safe, secure, and free.
Gabbard also took part in an early morning workout with “50 of America’s best Special Forces warfighters,” Olivia Coleman, the press secretary for Gabbard, revealed in a post on X.
A photo of the workout on a white board revealed that Gabbard and Special Forces warfighters did sandbag burpees, sandbag squats, kettle bell swings, alternate lunges,
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is pushing amnesty for millions of illegal aliens in the United States in response to President Donald Trump’s newly announced self-deportation program.
On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the launch of a program that will provide illegal aliens with a $1,000 stipend after they have proven to federal officials that they self-deported from the United States using the CBP Home mobile app.
Similar self-deportation programs, Breitbart News reported, have been adopted by European countries such as Germany, Denmark, and Sweden with much success in cutting illegal immigration.
In response, Gallego suggested he opposed self-deportations and instead offered an amnesty plan
Leftists across the country, many of whom are Boomers trying to relive their “glory days” of the 60’s, continue to protest against Donald Trump’s efforts to Make America Great Again.
While they lecture us to “believe all women,” they shout about bringing back a man who woke up in the middle of the night to slap his wife.
They shout about DOGE finding diabolical waste of taxpayer’s hard earned money across every component of the federal government because, apparently, they want the waste.
A legal immigrant from Africa, whose name is Fayz, had strong words for spoiled protestors and their endless public tantrums.
A Secret Service Agent violently pushed a man who appeared to get a little too close to Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner on Saturday night.
The First Daughter and her husband were out in Miami on Saturday night attending and event at Carbone Beach.
Bystanders surrounded the pair as they were leaving the event in South Beach.
A suspicious man carrying a manila folder got too close to Ivanka and Jared so a bodyguard swiftly and forcefully pushed him away.
Liberals will tell you that all illegal immigrants are just good-hearted people who want to work as maids, gardeners, crop pickers, and do the “jobs that Americans don’t want to do.” We always knew that sounded kind of racist and wasn’t true, but Donald Trump has fully exposed the lies of the Biden administration by proving that—despite Ole Joe’s assertion that he couldn’t stop the human tsunami—it could actually be done relatively quickly.
Which is course, is exactly what Trump did.
More and more news has been coming out about how among the millions of illegals Biden welcomed into our country, there are numerous gangbangers and vicious criminals.
There have been a couple of aphorisms the press loves to trot out to the public as a means of describing – or more accurately deflecting away from - their actions and practices. The first is “We are not the enemy of the people.” Another is that they do not need to give equal airtime to issues because if they give Republicans a fair shot at coverage they are platforming what the press deems to be misinformation. Giving both sides of a story will legitimize the “wrong” side, in their elevated thinking.
Now keep these chestnuts in mind
MSNBC's "Morning Joe" had to retract a false claim by former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi suggesting FBI Director Kash Patel spent more time partying at nightclubs than working. It marks another embarrassing blunder that underscores the network's vulnerability to airing unverified allegations made by Figliuzzi.
Figliuzzi, a top FBI official during Obama’s first term and current NBC News analyst, made a sensational claim on Friday's show, suggesting there is "chaos" under Patel's leadership and that he spends significantly more time at nightclubs than he does working.
"Reportedly, he's (Patel) been visible at nightclubs far more than he has been on the seventh floor of the Hoover building," he claimed without evidence.
We all remember our first jobs. Those were the days! You were pretty sure you were going to be swimming in dough. My first attempt at "experiencing the joys of capitalism," as my dad was fond of saying, was at a movie theatre in my junior year of high school. I think I must have seen "Porky's" about 90 times. I can also remember seeing two different totals on that first paycheck, and my dad explaining to me what was meant by "net" and "gross." A recent video on X of a high school girl getting her first lesson in taxation will bring back memories for all of us,
They said I would be homeless, begging for soup, and regretting my vote for Donald Trump. That latest bit of fake news has imploded like the OceanGate submersible, and the media would like you to forget they were the top manufacturers of this economic panic porn.
In April, they were cranking out these stories about how this would be the worst market period since 1932. Why? President Trump initiated his tariff policy to reset the market, protect American workers, and rebuild stateside high-skill manufacturing sectors.
It’s not like the 1950s regarding some sectors, but the elites and Wall Street tried to turn the public against Trump,

If you had told me just a few years ago that Michelle Obama would be a presidential candidate, I'd have said she was the most formidable opponent the Democratic Party could put up. Yet, as I sit here in May of 2025, I'm not even sure she'd survive a primary, much less be competitive in a general election.
Things have changed dramatically, and the spiral is continuing for Barack Obama's wife. Her new podcast has not only bombed in the ratings, but she's been using the platform to dish on her husband and call America racist while showing an astonishing amount of entitlement and lack
Democratic political strategist James Carville expressed frustration with the state of his party on his podcast Thursday, arguing that Republicans are able to get away with lying while Democrats are held to a higher standard of credibility.
Talking to guest Ryan Lizza, a journalist, he said, "People say to me all the time, ‘James, why don’t we just do like the Republicans do? Just stand up and lie?’ Because our f*****g people wouldn’t stand for it!" Carville said. "If I stood up and lied, you would be the first person to say, ‘James Carville lost all credibility last night when he said X, Y and Z.’"
Biological male swimmer Ana Caldas absolutely dominated in the women’s races at the U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championship in Texas.
The races, which took place last weekend, saw 47-year-old Ana Caldas wipe the floor in the 45-49 category of five races, including the 100-yard individual medley, the 50- and 100-yard breaststroke, and the freestyle.
This quickly sparked outrage on social media, where Libs of TikTok and others remarked on the “insanity” of the situation.
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said President Donald Trump’s tariffs caused the world to see the United States as an “unreliable partner.”

Actress and former The View co-host, Rosie O’Donnell, who moved to Ireland after the election, claimed President Donald Trump has suffered a serious “cognitive decline” in a rant she posted to TikTok.
In her post to fans, the comedienne who is now resident of Ireland claimed that video of Trump’s recent speeches show he is no longer in command of his mental faculties.
“When are people going to start to realize how much he is in a cognitive decline,” O’Donnell rambled, “how he can’t form coherent thoughts or sentences?”
“He had a speech the other day and he couldn’t say the word ‘anonymous.’
Actor Sean Penn is the latest Hollywood celebrity to melt down over Donald Trump.
In a podcast appearance with former CNN host Jim Acosta and California Rep. Eric Swalwell, Penn suggested that Trump may “destroy the world” before his presidency is finished.
Here is a transcript of the exchange:
ACOSTA: Bukele needs to be told, like, there are going to be other administrations that are going to come in here that are not going to look too kindly on this. What you’re doing down there.
SWALWELL: Jim, Bukele should be told that, the law firms that are caving should be told that, the colleges that are cave in should be told that.
Donald Trump took to Truth Social Sunday to announce he is “authorizing” the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to impose a 100% tariff on “any and all” movies produced in “foreign lands.”
In a move that sent shockwaves through Hollywood, Trump deemed foreign productions a “national security threat” to the American movie industry, adding that they not only draw filmmakers out to other markets but also bring “messaging and propaganda” into the United States. “The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death,” Trump wrote. “Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States.
COVID-19 on My Mind

Like most of us, I suppose, the shock to our system and way of life during the government’s response to COVID-19 cannot easily be forgotten. It was our taste of ill-considered government tyranny, a public-health disaster. As more information about its origins and how the disease was handled is revealed, it always gets my attention. In sum, banking on helping defeat Trump, the public-health establishment and media suppressed more credible options for dealing with a disease which was not life-threatening to most in order to promote a vaccine then in the works. The vaccine when it was developed and administered was not terribly effective and has itself caused substantial injury.
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel approved plans Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and to stay in the Palestinian territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, a move that, if implemented, would vastly expand Israel’s operations there and likely draw fierce international opposition.
Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.
The new plan, which the officials said was meant to help Israel achieve its war aims of defeating Hamas and freeing hostages held in Gaza, also calls for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
Starting Monday, student loan borrowers who find themselves in default will face government-backed involuntary collections, signaling a brand new landscape after years of pauses, delays and Biden-era relief efforts.
Garnished tax returns, Social Security payments and even wages will all be fair game on May 5 after a five-year pause on severe financial consequences that began during the economic upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Trump administration has made clear no additional debt forgiveness will be offered to borrowers as congressional Republicans look to revamp the student loan repayment system.
President Trump called on his administration to reopen and expand Alcatraz so authorities could send the “dregs of society” to the notorious California prison more than six decades after it closed.
The commander in chief announced Sunday that he was directing the Bureau of Prisons and other federal agencies to get the massive island facility off the San Francisco bay — which has long been the lore of Hollywood — back up and running again to lock away homegrown, repeat criminals.“For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering,”
$2.00 Gas Here We Come!

Let’s just get this out of the way: $2.00 gas isn’t a fantasy. It’s not a fairytale. It’s not even a MAGA fever dream. It’s a freight train with Trump at the throttle and a full tank of American energy roaring down the tracks.
Naturally, this week the usual suspects freaked out. President Trump had the audacity to suggest—on social media, no less—that we’re on the verge of $2 gas. Cue the blue-check meltdown: “Disinformation!” “It’s impossible!” “He’s lying!” But here’s the problem with that narrative: he’s not wrong.
Let’s check the scoreboard, shall we?
On May 3, 2025, the national average for a gallon of regular gas was $3.17.
