Here we go again: Left-wing outlets fear
toilet paper shortage due to Trump tariffs

Original Article

The media is dialing up the doomsaying over the impact of President Donald J. Trump’s foreign tariffs and is going back to the well of perhaps the most successful fearmongering campaign of all time. According to one left-leaning mainstream outlet, the tariffs could lead to a repeat of the great national toilet paper shortage of 2020, when mass hysteria stoked by the media sparked a panic that drove Americans to hoard bathroom tissue, leaving stores with barren shelves and forcing retailers to impose rationing measures.

I started hoarding TP in 2015. I had fear that BO would cancel the 2016 election and declare martial law. Thanks for the reminder to buy more.

If/When you are totally full of "feces"...of course a shortage will be a "concern". Mayhaps some of the beetle/fire killed forests can be used to resurrect the American Pulp industry.

So are the dems planning on closing down the country to save us from the Trump Tariff virus? TP will now be called Trump Paper. s/o Yes, there might be some interruptions and inconveniences but I am willing to see how this shakes out.

There was never a shortage last time. It was a supply chain issue having to do with which supplies were scheduled to be delivered where, at what time. When deliveries are predictable the whole system revolves around it. That suddenly changed and the system was not adaptable fast enough, and people panicked. The USA produces more than enough TP to sustain itself without help from outside.

Ya know, if we are relying on other countries for our TP, then we're already in trouble. I'm pretty sure we can make our own TP.

Blatant fear mongering. They pick something that caused a reasonably recent stir and resurrect the image of "scary times". They don't dig in and realize the circumstances are different and the outcome they "predict" unlikely. They are out to slam Trump and any means will do. And then they moan about Trump labeling them, absolutely correctly, "Fake News". It's really amazing that they can't seem to help themselves from continuing to behave like this. And every story that falls apart just proves the point about how biased and stupid and hateful they are.

I'm still using out of the stash from last time. It is the perfect thing to hoard. It has no shelf life, its relatively cheap (not lately) and will eventually be used. The shortage may have been artificial, but the empty shelves were real. Take care of yourself and your family first, then worry about anonymous strangers who think I should short my family for them simply because they didnt have the foresight to stock up.

Representative Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) claimed on Saturday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials would use “manufactured” footage to make it appear as though law enforcement agents were body slammed during the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the Delaney Hall Detention Center last week. Watson Coleman said, “We were there for a tour. ICE was giving us the runaround. We finally got into a facility. We heard some noise. We came out, we found that the mayor was there and they were an ICE was having conversations with him. They asked him to leave the facility. He left the facility.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers teamed up with other federal agencies to arrest an alleged hitman wanted in Venezuela for at least four contract killings. Officers and agents took the Biden-era Venezuelan illegal alien into custody in Grapevine, Texas, on May 2, according to a statement by the agency. “This fugitive stands accused of some horrific crimes, further representing a threat in the communities of Texas that we will not tolerate,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas acting Field Office Director Josh Johnson. “ICE Dallas will never relent in our priority of enhancing public safety and arresting and removing criminal alien threats from our streets."

In this episode of Al Sharpton: Race-Hustler Extraordinaire"... First, the facts: In January 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed South Africa’s Expropriation Act 13 of 2024. It allows expropriation (seizure) of land without compensation. The law mandates “just and equitable” compensation in most cases, with judicial oversight for disputes. Ahh, "equitable." As we've learned all too well, for the Democrat Party, "equity" — along with "inclusion" — doesn't mean to the left what it means to the rest of us, or what it means in the dictionary. In the wake of South Africa's Expropriation Act, the Trump administration announced plans to bring more than 50 white Afrikaners to the United States, starting on Monday,

Former President Joe Biden’s lack of any real border authority resulted in massive numbers of illegal aliens and asylum seekers gaining access to the United States. Millions of Americans voted for stricter enforcement in 2024, but many are still wondering why the former president would allow a flood of humanity to come into the country. Kennedy and Noem dug deep into the issue, and the conclusion they came to should frighten all Americans:

One of the craziest stories of the year broke on Friday after a contingent of Democrat politicians stormed an ICE facility in New Jersey, supposedly in protest of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. But while they claimed to have done nothing wrong, the more evidence emerged, the more obvious it became that they were lying through their teeth. As RedState reported, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who was arrested on site, tried to play the victim on CNN. Video then emerged showing that he breached a checkpoint and refused to leave after multiple requests. The behavior of three Democrat congressional members was arguably even worse.

The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated. The new law, which will take effect on July 27, eliminates the long-standing confidentiality of the confessional, forcing Catholic leaders and lawmakers into a highly charged standoff over religious liberty and child protection. However, the Archdiocese of Seattle and several bishops argue that the law not only contravenes church doctrine but crosses constitutional lines, while supporters maintain it is a crucial step to protect minors from abuse.

Less than 48 hours after rolling out a fact-checking website designed to target "right-wing misinformation," California Governor Gavin Newsom was caught using stock footage from Ukraine and Estonia in an ad promoting his state's economy. The ad, released initially on X and set to run on “Fox and Friends” this weekend, criticizes President Donald Trump’s tariffs while touting California's supposed economic strength. An overly excited Newsom, however, shared it with his followers on X first. Viewers quickly pointed out that the ad, meant to show the greatness of the Golden State, contained stock footage from a pair of European countries.

Despite landslide victories in 2024 that put Trump in the Presidency and Republicans in control of Congress, Trump’s agenda to reverse the Biden Immigration Invasion is being aggressively blocked by radical activist federal judges…Though Trump’s DOJ has scored reversals in some of the more egregious cases, many federal district court judges still find ways to ignore the higher court rulings. Or they simply order new overreaching temporary restraining orders (TROs) that under court rules ordinarily can’t be appealed for a period as long as 28 days. Then the same or different judge comes along with a new bizarre TRO to keep deportations frozen or derailed. It’s assembly line lawfare.
