Trump Executive Order and premier responses

Trump’s Executive Order spelling out his tariffs on Canada, verbatim

Trump’s Executive Order spelling out his tariffs on Canada, verbatim

Make absolutely no mistake, these tariffs will cost American and Canadian families more: Sask Premier Scott Moe

 Alberta will continue to strenuously oppose any effort to ban exports to the U.S. or export taxes: Premier Danielle Smith

This is an attack on our country and on British Columbia families that will not go unanswered: BC Premier David Eby

Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation to remove all alcohol from the United States from their shelves: Nova Scotia premier

No victory dances’ in Alberta’s oil and gas sector, but relief over lower tariffs

The Stupid Party

The Great Fake H1-B Controversy

Sigmund Freud had a term for it—the “narcissism of small differences”.

In this case, Wikipedia explains it well: “… the more a relationship or community shares commonalities, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences.”

We all recognize this pattern that manifests in various ways from the bickering of married couples to successful rock bands breaking up. The most minor disputes explode into major ones that no one wanted in the first place with sometimes disastrous results.

This fits the internal MAGA dispute over H1-B visas to the proverbial T. The only ones who profit from this kerfuffle, or whatever it is, are the left and their fading media allies, desperate for something to latch onto about MAGA and create dissension.

Do we want to give them that privilege at this point? Frankly, I think it’s stupid, especially for a disagreement that would likely work itself out almost automatically and favorably for almost all concerned anyway.

A Tale of Two Nations

February 2022: Canada  >>>  November 2024: America

In both cases, the people of these two great nations were suffering under the repressive policies of their respective tyrannical regimes. In both cases, it was clear that the policies enacted by these regimes were clearly not in the best interests of the people, but instead only serving the global elites. In both cases, the tyrants were using lawfare and other nefarious schemes to go after patriotic citizens whose only “crime” was to dare speak out against their supposed democratic leaders.

Canadians have yet to rid themselves of the loathsome Trudeau/Singh cabal. But Americans appear to have completed Step One to extricate the grip of the UniParty Globalist Tyrants from the levers of power. Many more steps will be required, so all freedom-loving patriots must remain vigilant.

Update: Matt Walsh provided a brilliant summary of what occurred on Nov. 5th.  Much of what he said will resonate with Canadian voters.

Catching Up on this Historic Moment in American History

I fell asleep around midnight (EST) and woke up a little after 6:00am to stunned delight about the Republicans winning the Presidency, the Senate, and the House. I’m not a particularly religious person but fell to my knees and offered a silent prayer of immense gratitude.

This historic moment is something I needed to see with my own eyes.  Given that you might be in a similar situation, here you are: minutes before Trump achieved 270 electoral college votes.Here’s Trump’s Victory Speech.   Steve Bannon’s reaction

An Indictment of the Political Information Complex

It’s JD Vance

Ben Shapiro weighs in: a bold pick, a whole new generation… you cannot doubt his IQ, you cannot doubt he’s a bulldog.

Glenn Reynolds;

With Trump feeling — literally — the wind of mortality on his neck, he’s going to want a backup who’ll carry the MAGA flame, not some milquetoast who might “balance the ticket” but who wouldn’t be worth it if he/she stepped into Trump’s shoes. Plus at best Trump can only serve one term; he wants someone who might follow him in office and carry the MAGA vision forward.

plus…

Earlier today, Trump called for RFK to get Secret Service protection, and a friend messaged me: “Haha, when they do that, our crazy orange former president official becomes shadow chief executive. Making the common sense calls the Biden admin can’t quite manage.”

And later today, they did that, with Sec. Mayorkas announcing that RFK will get Secret Service protection. To which my friend comments: “Prediction: Here through Jan 20 will be the first six months of the second Trump admin.”

The dynamism is all on one side here.

Ronna McDaniel to step down as RNC chair

Progress.

McDaniels has been under pressure for months to step down after she failed to deliver the promised red wave in 2022. Recent reports about the RNC’s excessive spending also came out, putting further pressure on her to step down.

Her chief of staff stepped down earlier on Tuesday. “I know the timing of this news comes as many rumors in the press swirl and we prepare to merge with the presumptive nominee. I assure you, the RNC is in an incredibly strong position,” Mike Reed said. He will also be stepping down later this month.

This news comes after Trump and McDaniel met together at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago on Monday. After that meeting, it was reported that changes would be coming to the RNC. He posted after that meeting that McDaniel was “now Head of the RNC, and I’ll be making a decision the day after the South Carolina Primary as to my recommendations for RNC Growth.”

“party of losers”.

Exposing the Swamp

In a shocking hidden camera interview, some facts, many of us suspected, are revealed:

A Capitol Hill intern reveals how members of Congress are coerced to vote a certain way through blackmail and extortion after affairs & sex parties: “Cawthorn wasn’t lying neither”

O’Keefe Media Group founder James O’Keefe has discovered that nothing is as it seems when it comes to Congress Members’ voting patterns, the staffers they hire, or their activity outside of Congress.

Meet Titus Warren, a Democrat working for Republicans in Congress. These Republicans do not care about Warren’s political views or the potential of him tipping off the other side. In fact, Titus states that he “loves” Nancy Pelosi and believes that Donald Trump “needs to die.”

This is going to pull a lot of eyeballs.

One by one, Carlson will grill Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.

Regardless of any private hesitation they may harbor, each of the campaigns who spoke with RCP ahead of the event say they take Carlson seriously. Most have spent considerable time preparing. And for good reason.
