Lunatic Trump started this tariff war and begging China to deescalate for him

 Tariffs on China is not only affecting the retail sector in the USA; it is destroying jobs in many other sectors as well. The creation of jobs has not been seen yet, but the destruction of jobs is happening right before our eyes.

The trucking sector, in the frontline, and dock workers are feeling the first whammy right now, with truckers idling with fewer jobs. With lesser or no earnings, what would they depend on for survival? If they are working for a trucking company, there is the bigger fear over the loss of their job. If they own their trucks, a day idling is a problem for them to pay the loans for their trucks, on top of maintenance costs.

Factories also depend on imported parts from China, and with tariffs and parts stuck at ports or cancelled, factories cannot operate optimally to make affordable goods and may have to cut production lines and do away with jobs that are not needed. With more people losing jobs, even Federal jobs, how is the retail sector going to survive with people having little to spend? Again, the same result of closing outlets and letting people go. This is all the compounding problems resulting from just the simple effect of the imposition of tariffs. Problems that have obviously not been foreseen.

Trump and his administration are really desperate now to end this madness, but being a problem that they created, China is not going to back down and will dig in. Sure, China is also feeling the effect, but not as serious as the USA. China still has the Global South market to fall back on, an area that it can compete effectively.

Why NASA Is Monitoring Methane Leaks From Space?

Why NASA Is Monitoring Methane Leaks From Space?

Have you ever wondered why a space agency like NASA would be interested in something as earthy as methane? Imagine a world where invisible gases silently shape and potentially harm our planet's future. The story of NASA monitoring methane leaks from space is not just about science; it's a gripping narrative of innovation, urgency, and the quest to protect our world.  MSN

When I came across this article I almost laugh. Anyone wants to offer an explanation? In Singapore, the job of monitoring gas leaks is the responsibility of the Ministry of Environment. In bankrupt America, bankrupt in the sense of clueless, running out of idea, NASA has lost its plot. NASA was created to explore the universe, not to smell farts.

After the hoax of a century in its Hollywood produced moon landing, NASA tried desperately to make it real, that they could really land on the moon, to cover up the hoax, but failed, NASA eventually gave up the idea of going to the moon. So the Americans started to invent more horror stories of aliens on the moon and warning the world not to go to the moon again and closed the chapter on moon exploration.

Now you get the idea why 'NASA Is Monitoring Methane Leaks From Space?' The simple answer, NASA has nothing useful to do. It has spent its limited fundings on peering at the telescope and fabricating pictures of the universe almost daily to show the world that it is still around. Since it has abandoned all hopes of going to the moon, and the picnic to the ISS is coming to an end when the ISS has to be closed down, or it would collapse on its own, all its parts are breaking down, what else can NASA do? Now it is trying to find something useful to do on earth, like smelling the air for methane.

NASA is a joke. It should have been closed down decades ago. Anyway, it would not exist for long if there is no more funding coming from Washington. Elon Musk, if he is still in DOGE, would soon turn his attention to NASA, to sack the whole team of unproductive and clueless administrators.

Marcos turned Philippines into a pariah state

During Duterte's presidency, one of his key tasks was to bring law and order to the Philippines. His main target is the drug industry, run by drug lords and the CIA. The drug operators were ruthless and did not respect the law and would kill the police and drug enforcers. Duterte's tough approach to these dangerous criminals did brought law and order to the Philippines, curtailing the drug industry and with the police and drug enforcers doing their job with more confidence, at least not to be killed.

The kidnapping of Duterte by the criminal ICC, behaving like the mafia, acting like there is no law in the Philippines, openly went to the Philippines airport and snatched the former President of the Philippines, with no one to stop them, is unbelievable, so shameful. The Philippines police and military could not do anything to these criminals committing an outrageous crime against their beloved and well respected former President. Some even worked with the ICC criminals to assist them to kidnap Duterte and helped them to smuggle Duterte out of the Philippines.

Is the Philippines a sovereign state with its own police and military, with its own laws? How could foreign criminals and gangsters conduct such a criminal act in the Philippines as if there is no law, no police, no military and no authority to stop them? And President Marcos could claim innocence, that he had nothing to do with it, did not see it his responsibility to stop the kidnapping of former President Duterte? The criminals could walk freely all over sensitive parts of the Philippines like it was a no man's land and do whatever they want, even flew in their planes to ferry Duterte out of the Philippines.

Are the Pinoys proud of the whole incident? Are they not ashamed for letting their former President to be kidnapped inside the Philippines and taken away by foreign criminal gangs, in broad daylight, under the supervision of their own police and military officers?

That day was the darkest day in the Pinoy history, as dark as the day the previous President Marcos assassinated Aquino in the same airport. And they are now happily reinviting the American forces to reoccupy the American bases they were forced to leave two decades ago. Now the Philippines is again a colonised country of the Americans.

The latest, Imee Marcos, a senator and sister of Marcos, conducted an investigation and found out that the kidnapping of Duterte was a coordinated plan by senators, the courts, military and police. The plan was cooked up months ago, and has nothing to do with her brother, Marcos. Marcos is innocent, not involved. The Pinoys would believe this is the truth.

When China goes for the complete break, better believe it

When China goes for the complete break, we better believe it. No half measures and no backtracking expected. China either goes the 'whole nine yards' or nothing.
And when China makes up its mind, it already makes sure to have all the strategic resources in place before doing so, and I believe China has already enough confidence to decouple completely from the USA now. The Global South, with all the infrastructures built up by China, the connectivity afforded by the BRI and the economic support of BRICS is ready to take the plunge.

We have already seen China pushing the boundaries in EVs, high-speed-rails, shipbuilding, semi-conductors, aviation, space exploration and of course manufacturing. And has China succeeded in any of those ventures? You be the judge.

The USA and the Western leaders still probably see China as a country using mindsets in the 1980s, thinking China to be technologically backward, logistically underdeveloped, decades behind the West in everything. And with the Western propaganda machine working tirelessly to send out this message to its citizens, thereby succeeding in its brainwashing agenda, they could not foresee the rapid rise of China today and wants to put a stop to it.

Rednote was a godsend for China, with Tik Tok playing a very pivotal role' in countering USA and Western propaganda. And it was done on the cheap, not needing a US$300 million a year movement. The banning of Tik Tok released the 'genie in the bottle' giving USA citizens a glimpse of what life really is like inside China today, thereby causing backfiring on all cylinders against the USA. Now the USA citizens have more to learn about China than what their MSM had lied to them for decades.

Trump lying and cheating the hillbillies with his tariff prank. He knows they are too stupid to know why

Trump will still pretend he is making USA great again and bringing back jobs to the country and making USA rich again. Manufacturing may reshore to USA, but jobs are not going back, with machines taking over. Honestly, just printing toilet papers is good enough to make the USA rich again, right? Why go to all the trouble of fighting a tariff war?
Trump is not really protecting USA manufacturing using tariffs against China, which is a lame and empty excuse, because there are no such industries existing in the USA that needs such protection. If there are that many manufacturing facilities now already existing in the USA, why does they USA still need to import US$500 billion worth of goods from China? People can see the contradiction by simple logical thinking as to why Trump is forever touting about bringing back manufacturing to the USA when it already has them to produce those goods.

Trump needs all the money from tariffs to fund his tax cuts for the billionaires like himself clear and simple. And the bill with tariffs added has to be paid by USA consumers. That is provided there are going to be products still available at retail outlets a month of two down the road.

Some delusional morons are talking about substitutes that still needs to come out of a factory or factories to be set up to produce them, not within a month, but probably a year or two. And which country wants to do that knowing that they cannot compete with Chinese manufacturers even in their own backyard. Trump will tell USA consumers to 'hang tough' for a year or two. Laughable indeed.

Now, before leaving, China's spokesperson wanted to 'make it clear' that there had been no phone contact between Xi and Trump, with no negotiating ongoing. China wants the USA to remove those tariffs first before any negotiation can go forward. I think that message is already as certain as the sun rising from the East.

On the other hand, Trump and his administration clowns are still boasting that the USA is already talking to 200 countries out of the 195 countries in the world, but no deals so far being reported. Even lying must be careful not to expose the ridiculousness and ignorance behind it.
