New research by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science has found that proposed tariffs put forward by US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump would hit the American economy and could hinder action on climate change.

The research by Dr Aurélien Saussay, laid out in ‘The economic impacts of Trump’s tariff proposals on Europe’, concludes that Donald Trump’s additional tariffs on some imports could lead to a reduction in gross domestic product in the United States by -0.64%, China by -0.68%, and the European Union by a more modest reduction of -0.11%.

Mr Trump has proposed a 100% tariff on all imported vehicles which would, according to the paper, “significantly impact the affordability of electric vehicles in the US market, potentially slowing adoption rates and hampering efforts to reduce transport emissions, given that imported EVs currently account for approximately 30% of the US electric vehicle market.”

Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed in both speeches and media interviews that he is going to implement a universal 10% import tariff on all foreign-made goods, a targeted 60% import tariff on Chinese goods and a 100% tariff on all imported cars. He has also spoken about a 200% tariff on some imported vehicles. While most of the existing tariffs enacted under the previous Trump administration have not been rescinded by the Biden administration, these new proposals still represent a significant escalation of ‘America First’ trade policies and could have wide-ranging economic impacts.

Republican senator says Trump should not pardon Hunter Biden

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., says President-elect Trump should not offer Hunter Biden a pardon after he pleaded guilty to federal tax charges in September.

"I don't think he should pardon Hunter," Johnson said in an interview on NewsNation's "Dan Abrams Live."

"I think we need to be very careful about having a dual system of justice where the powerful, or the sons and daughters of the powerful, get off scot-free," he said.

The incels are in charge now

Well that didn’t take long, did it? As soon as it became clear that Donald Trump had won the election, social media saw a major spike in gleeful misogyny. And it seems Trump’s army of angry incels have found a favourite new catchphrase to taunt women with: “Your body, my choice.”

While the phrase has been kicking around in far-right circles for a few years, the notorious white supremacist Nick Fuentes has breathed new life into it. “Your body, my choice. Forever,” Fuentes tweeted late on Tuesday night, a few hours before Trump officially won. Shortly after that, he repeated the phrase in a live stream reacting to the results of the election, where he also said things like: “We control your bodies. Guess what, guys win again, okay. Men win again … There will never ever be a female President. It’s over. Glass ceiling? It’s a ceiling made of fucking bricks.”

From there, the taunt took off. Young men are now starting to comment “your body, my choice” and “we own your bodies now” on TikTok videos posted by women. In an analysis published on Friday, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a thinktank focused on extremism, found “a 4,600% increase in mentions of the terms ‘your body, my choice’ and ‘get back in the kitchen’ on X”.

Even more alarmingly, the ISD notes: “The phrase ‘your body, my choice’ appears to have made its way offline, specifically into schools. Young girls and parents have used social media to share instances of offline harassment. They include the phrase being directed at them within schools or chanted by young boys in classes.”

Various other misogynistic phrases, including calls to repeal the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote, have also been trending online.

On the old warhorses of guns and abortion, liberals have long held an edge. Large majorities say abortion should be generally legal vs. generally illegal, and voting on abortion initiatives in the states confirms this.

But liberals are underwater practically everywhere else. Small majorities are uncomfortable with they/them pronouns, and building a wall along the border with Mexico has gotten more popular. It's now a majority view.

Other issues have swung harder in the conservative direction. Large majorities favor tougher policing, even among Black voters. Ditto for opposition to affirmative action. Trans issues are more nuanced: large majorities support anti-discrimination laws for trans people, but similarly large majorities oppose both the use of puberty blockers among teens and biological boys competing in girls' sports.

Views of the Middle East are complicated, but on the straightforward question of Israel vs. Hamas, Americans favor Israel by a huge margin. They also approve of Israel's bombing of Lebanon.

Finally, most Americans support some kind of path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, but large majorities also say immigration is a very serious problem and we should reduce the level of immigration. Small majorities even favor mass deportation.

By itself, none of this dictates what either liberals or Democrats should do. But there's never any benefit to sticking our heads in the sand. We should at least acknowledge what we're up against.

A lefty had a melty after trump won and killed himself, his wife, his gay lover, and his two children, and then blamed it on republicans.

Minnesota dad kills his wife, ex and two children - as his chilling social media posts are revealed

A man has killed his wife, ex partner and two sons in a devastating murder suicide which has shattered a tight-knit community.

Anthony Nephew, 46, was found dead with a self inflicted gunshot wound inside his home on West 6th Street in Duluth, Minnesota on Thursday afternoon.

Three years before his death, he spoke candidly about the mental health crisis in the United States, warning 'breakdowns lead to suicide - or homicide before suicide.'

His wife, 45-year-old Kathryn Ramsland, and seven-year-old son Oliver were found dead with gunshot wounds inside the home they shared with Nephew.

Earlier, police had made a grim discovery inside the home of Nephew's ex, Erin Abramson, less than one mile away.

Responding to a welfare call about 2pm, police found 47-year-old Abramson and her 15-year-old son, Jacob Nephew, dead with multiple gunshot wounds.

President-elect Donald Trump has missed a deadline to submit an ethics pledge promising to avoid conflicts of interest and other ethical issues, a delay that could hamper his transition to the White House, the New York Times reported.

Trump’s transition team missed an October 1 deadline to file the ethics plan that is required by the Presidential Transition Act, the report said.

His team, which was created in August, has also refused to take part in the normal handoff process that begins months before the election, and has disregarded deadlines for signing agreements governing the process.

The delay has precluded the transition team from participating in national security briefings or getting access to federal agencies needed to take control of the government on Inauguration Day on January. 20, 2025, the report said.

“While transition planning is private activity, it is deeply connected to the activity of our government and the stewardship of public resources,” Max Stier, the president and chief executive of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan group that provides resources to candidates through the Center for Presidential Transition, told the New York Times.

“The avoidance of conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts of interest is critical to that task,” he said.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (TNND) — A pediatric cardiologist for University of Iowa Health Care is facing an internal probe over a social media post directed at a supporter of President-elect Donald Trump.

Dr.Mayank Sharma engaged in a political conversation with a Trump supporter on X Wednesday morning. After the Trump supporter told him to "stay mad,"Dr. Sharma unleashed a graphic response.

"Well I hope you lose your kid in a school shoo[t]ing," Dr. Sharma wrote. "Already you have nothing to lose, it won't matter to you anyways! Prepare for your kids funeral."

The post was deleted shortly thereafter. Dr. Sharma also deleted his X account, but an archived version of the account reveals his bio identified him as a "pediatric cardiologist."

Dr. Sharma was formerly listed as a pediatric cardiology fellow on the University of Iowa Health Care website. His name no longer appears on the fellowship's website. The fellowship is based at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.

University of Iowa Health Care confirmed in a statement to The National News Desk that the university is "aware of the situation and is reviewing the matter" in accordance with its policies.

"The University of Iowa strongly objects to violence," the statement added.

>Government Scandal 2: Unyielding Rage edition

https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-fema-official-ordered-relief-workers-to-skip-houses-with-trump-signs

A federal disaster relief official ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida, according to internal correspondence obtained by The Daily Wire and confirmed by multiple federal employees.

A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.

The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”

It is unclear whether the same guidance was issued elsewhere in the country. The employees were part of a Department of Homeland Security surge capacity force team, meaning they volunteered from other DHS agencies to help an understaffed FEMA as it dealt with a second major hurricane in a span of just a few weeks.

Democrats are wondering why nobody likes them. Evidence is suggesting the shortlived failed experiment of progressivism has come and gone.
https://www.semafor.com/article/11/06/2024/democrats-ask-why-didnt-anything-work
Democrats ask: Why didn’t anything work?

On Wednesday afternoon, as Kamala Harris conceded the presidential election, Democrats confronted the idea that a short progressive era had come and gone.

In Ohio and Montana, two populist Democratic senators who’d always defied gravity succumbed to it. In California, voters ousted two reform prosecutors in deep blue counties – Los Angeles and Alameda – while recalling Oakland’s progressive and scandal-plagued mayor. Arizonans voted to allow local police to enforce immigration law; New Yorkers were on track to reject a new city diversity officer.

All of that unfolded on a map that got redder outside of a few cities and suburbs, and far redder in majority-Latino areas that had rarely voted Republican. Before Tuesday, no Democrat born after 1986 had ever voted in an election where Republicans won the popular vote. Now, all of them had. They were not entirely sure why.

“I would love to see some kind of autopsy,” said Faiz Shakir, the founder of the progressive journalism channel More Perfect Union, and the manager of Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign. “I would worry about a party that said: Let’s move on, let’s fight, let’s get into resistance mode.”

Sanders had urged Democrats all year to reach unlikely voters and emphasize their economic policies, many shaped by him after the 2020 primary defeat. On Wednesday, before Harris addressed supporters at Howard University, he said in a statement that Democrats shouldn’t have been shocked that a “party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” white and non-white.

Right now the senate is 53 Republicans vs 45 communists. Let's be generous and say the commies pick up NV and AZ, that would put us at 53 (+1 vp) to 47. Now let's turn out attention to pic related. Its the 2026 midterms senate map. A lot of red cousin fucker states up there. Only 6 will be contested.
2 Red Maine and north carolina and 4 communist, georgia, michigan, new hampshire and virginia. So its likely the GOP expands the senate to 54 or 55. But let's be generous and say the commies run the table, take all 6 contested seats and the house. That leaves the senate 51 (+ the vp) to 49.
Moscow Mitch, because he is smarter than every democrat politician and voter, baited that retard harry reid into using the nuclear option and ending the judicial filibuster. So barring something crazy, until the final day of his presidency Trump will not only be able to fill any scotus vacancy (Thomas-R 76, Alito-R 74, Sotomayor-D 70 with diabetes, Roberts-faggot 69) but any vacant lower court seat until the last day of his presidency and there isn't jack shit the dems can do about it.
The courts will be ruby red and full of Trump appointees until the day you die
