Americans have become astonishingly gullible and pathetically ignorant

The left-wing crybabies and their slobbering fake news lackeys are vomiting their deceitful propaganda, sending Wall Street investors into a panic. These shrieking fools have zero understanding of basic economics, yet they act like self-proclaimed experts, cluelessly sabotaging our nation’s progress.

Tariffs aren’t some evil invention—they’re a negotiation tool. The real crisis here is that almost every other nation has been gouging us with outrageous tariffs on American products for decades, while we sat back and let it happen. Year after year, Americans have been paying exorbitant prices for foreign imports because we didn’t have the spine to fight back.

I first saw the absurdity of it when I discovered that European car enthusiasts couldn’t afford the wildly popular, reasonably priced 1965 Ford Mustang. Why? Because those smug European nations slapped massive tariffs on our cars while we welcomed their imports with open arms. Our robust capitalist economy fueled sales of European cars here, but Europe didn’t reciprocate. Fair trade? Not even close.


Tariffs should be a two-way street, but America has let itself be walked on for endless decades. Meanwhile, we whine about drug prices and have been crippled by inflation since being sucker-punched by the Chinese virus. Enough is enough. Donald Trump is absolutely right—we need to flip the script on this one-sided trade imbalance, once and for all.


These new tariffs are just the opening move in a negotiation game. Tariffs can change with the stroke of a pen, and we’re not going to keep being the world’s doormat or the socialist nations’ endless ATM machine. After World War II, we rebuilt Europe and Japan with American tax dollars. Now, those same countries act like we owe them endless favors.


And the worst part? The treacherous left-wing traitors in our own country are desperately fear-mongering, hell-bent on sabotaging every effort Trump makes to restore American strength. Democrat politicians are nothing more than communist vandals using fear-mongering, and hysteria to undermine America.  Their existence as a party is an insult to our nation. It’s time to wake up and fight back against these domestic enemies.


If we allow Donald Trump to do his job, how nice it will be not to have to pay the confiscatory personal income tax.  Of course that will upset every accountant in our nation.  They need to remember that artificial intelligence is going to make them obsolete very soon.

Big Pharma and Network TV News: A Match Made in Hell

Oh, network TV news. That bastion of truth, justice, and completely unbiased reporting. You know, the one that bombards you with endless stories about how the world is going to hell – right before cutting to a commercial about the latest miracle drug that might just send you there personally.

Yes, nothing screams credibility quite like your favorite talking head delivering doom and gloom, only to be immediately followed by a cheerful ad from Big Pharma. You know the ones – where they promise to fix your life-threatening ailment (or maybe just your slightly annoying rash) while whispering, oh-so-casually, that their wonder drug might also cause heart failure, sudden death, and a desire to howl at the moon.

But wait – it gets better. You can’t just stroll into Walgreens and demand this life-altering elixir. Nope. You’ve got to sweet-talk your doctor into writing a prescription. Fortunately, doctors are more than happy to help since Big Pharma hands out financial incentives like candy at a parade. Who knew curing people could be so lucrative?

Fast forward six months, and surprise! Your miracle cure turns out to be more of a nightmare. Cue the lawyer ads, proudly announcing that if you took this drug, you might be entitled to compensation – because who could have guessed that “may cause death” actually meant may cause death? More ad revenue, more lawsuits, more confusion. A perfect cycle of profit and pain.

But here’s the real kicker: Big Pharma’s obscene spending on TV ads is basically life support for network news. Without these lucrative deals, the so-called news would shrivel up like a forgotten houseplant. Imagine that – the propaganda machine grinding to a halt because their cash cow finally got put out to pasture.

Ah, but the first amendment – it’s a tricky little thing. Apparently, it protects drug ads but not cigarette or booze commercials. Go figure. RFK Jr. has been waving the flag to ban pharmaceutical ads, and honestly? Why not? Anything that makes network news sweat a little is worth the effort.

So, let’s raise a toast (to non-pharma-sponsored beverages) and dream of the day when TV news has to stand on its own – without Big Pharma cashing in on our health crises. Maybe then, they’ll actually report some real news. Or, more likely, just go broke trying. Either way, sounds like a win to me.
