The Department of Homeland Security has begun performing polygraph tests on employees to determine who might be leaking information to the media about immigration operations, according to four sources familiar with the practice.

"You screw over 72.5 million people, and you pay the price," he then added. "Unfortunately, [Americans] will suffer. But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel…Musk’s economic jihad against working Americans will be the thing that sinks Trump’s presidency and the Republican party. And for once, the chaos will actually work in the favor of the American people."

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression

. If everything goes right, none of you will be able to afford food, housing, or retirement ever again.” At press time, many of Trump’s most vocal defenders stressed that they trusted the president to usher in the greatest depression the nation had ever seen.

Lies about Canadian dairy tariffs.
President Donald Trump correctly noted Friday, as he has before, that Canada has tariffs above 200% on dairy products imported from the US. But Trump again failed to mention a critical fact.

Those high tariffs kick in only after the US has hit a certain Trump-negotiated quantity of tariff-free dairy sales to Canada each year – and as the US dairy industry acknowledges, the US is not hitting its allowed zero-tariff maximum in any category of dairy product.

In many categories, notably including milk, the US is not even at half of the zero-tariff maximum.

“In practice, these tariffs are not actually paid by anyone,” Al Mussell, an expert on Canadian agricultural trade, said in an email Friday.

Trump also made a claim that is simply false. He told reporters Friday that the situation with Canadian dairy tariffs was “well taken care of” at the time his first presidency ended, “but under Biden, they just kept raising it.”

In reality, Canada did not raise its dairy tariffs under then-President Joe Biden, as official Canadian documents show and industry groups on both sides of the border confirmed to CNN. The tariffs Trump was denouncing Friday were left in place by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, which Trump negotiated, signed in 2018 and has since touted as “the best trade deal ever made.”

The White House did not respond to CNN’s Friday request for comment.

Trump vowed Friday to retaliate against Canada with new US dairy tariffs in the coming days, but Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday on NBC that the president’s response to Canada on dairy will actually come on April 2, the day Trump has said he will impose reciprocal tariffs on countries around the world.

Trump did achieve dairy concessions from Canada.

Canada has for decades irked US lawmakers with “supply management” policies that support Canadian farmers and protect its dairy, egg and poultry industries from foreign competition.

Under Trump’s USMCA, Canada guaranteed it wouldn’t apply any tariffs to specific amounts of US imports per year in 14 dairy categories, such as milk, cream, cheese, ice cream, butter and cream powder, and yogurt and buttermilk. These new US-specific quotas, which Canada agreed to increase over time, gave American farmers and companies more access to the Canadian market.

But the USMCA didn’t get Canada to lower the tariffs that apply to imports above the quota thresholds. And contrary to Trump’s Friday claim, those tariffs didn’t spike under Biden.

MYTH: Tariffs may trigger a global recession.

FACT: They have triggered a global recession.

MYTH: Tariffs will raise prices.

FACT: It’s only possible for prices to rise when a Democrat is president.

Myth: Tariffs will bring back American manufacturing jobs.

Fact: Christ, give it up, Grandpa. The plant has been closed since 1982.

Elsewhere:
I don't think that there will be 46 more months of this. There are a finite number of things that _____ can break, and at his current pace he will pretty much have those broken in 12-18 months.

Getting rid of Trump will only happen if he trashes the economy so badly that his lapdogs in Congress realize that they will lose badly in any election. Which means that Americans will have to suffer a lot of pain before getting rid of him.

Lara Trump, totally not the nepotistic former co-chair of the Republican National Committee, has told the citizens of the US how they should treat her father in law and his hatchet man.

'Lara Trump Insists Americans Should Be "Kissing the Feet" of Trump and Musk'
Lara Trump said Americans “ought to be kissing the feet” of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump for their chainsaw approach to slashing federal spending that has wreaked havoc across government.

During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday, the former Republican National Committee co-chair—who recently launched her own show on the network—said it was “laughable” that progressives claim that Musk’s work with her father-in-law is “enriching himself and his friends.”

Instead, she said, Americans should show gratitude to the president and his billionaire lieutenant for their mass purges of the federal workforce and nascent efforts to cut spending, which have already resulted in the mistaken firing of nuclear safety workers and experts working on a response to the avian flu outbreak.

“People ought to be kissing the feet of Elon Musk and Donald Trump for being the two people to actually do this,” Trump told Hannity.

She sounds like an airhead.
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?
