It is not the Jewish religeon doing this it is Netayahu's collection of loons.

What they are doing is ethnic cleansing at best.

True, I just think it's heart warming to see Romani Gypo's openly taking dumps outside some of these posh establishments and residencies whilst rinsing out their smalls before hanging them on nearby branches to dry out right in front of Posh diners.

This is the kind of thing I've been waiting to see happen and want to see more of, the rich and establishment having to put up the ramifications of illegal migrants plotting up in their well to do neighbourhoods.

Get your point but Park Lane is more of a tourist spot yes a few billionaires live around there but mostly 4/5star hotels, upmarket car show rooms and offices etc
Other side is Edgware road also kmown as Arab Town and looks more like Beruit rather than London

Trump just completed a 2 hour phone call with Putin, apparently Russia and Ukraine will now discuss a ceasefire to end the bloodshed.

Won't happen. The stupid thick old assholes who voted for Brexit in 2016 are dying out. The young generation will have us rejoin the EU.

I see Romania has headed off a right wing candidate. So what happened to the collapse of the EU you predicted. Has Turkey become a member? Is immigration under control?

The UK economy will thrive once we leave the EU...haha

Food prices rose 23.6 % under Biden from 2020-2024, open the link below for all the gory details.

So as you can see Trump has some wiggle room.

Any increases on certain items at Walmart will send more people to Ralphs or Aldi or other alternatives.

The drop in the price in energy will more than compensate for any increase in select items at Walmart also.

Another thing is it’s only a small percentage of goods that are affected so not enough to bring about in major change in Fed policy, especially when you consider any increase in imports is countered by increases in Exports, which affect the Dollar Index.

So before you go getting all giddy on even more propaganda, Understand there are many benefits that come with what Trump is doing that offset and temporary spike to certain goods from China or elsewhere.

Overall don’t be surprised to see the CPI index continue to fall. Which by the way is much lower now than it was when Trump took office.

So because there was inflation under Biden we should just chose to add more by way of of tariffs?

No the CPI isn't lower, its just not growing as fast. Prices are still increasing.
And do you think Aldi source their products from some magical land that doesn't have tariffs?
Walmart is the market leader with something like 20% of the grocery market - if they say prices are going up then prices are going up.

about a third of what they sell is sourced outside of the US, so no its not a small % of goods.

did you also notice that US manufacturing activity declined for a second month on the spin. production, employment and new all orders all contracted.
motor vehicles and parts production dropped by 1.9%,

Stop majoring in minors you small minded twit.

Are you saying that the US biggest grocery retailer saying prices are going up is a minor? Or that US manufacturing production and employment declining two months on the spin is minor?

No idea what point you are trying to make about taking the dollar off the gold standard 54 years ago.
How about using the tariffs Trump put on washing machines during his first term as an example? "America first" saw US consumers suffer over $1.5bn extra costs for both washer and dryers. The average price went up by 12%.
The tariffs expired in Feb '23 and the prices came back down by approx 13%.

CPI numbers are at 2.3% way down from the 3% they were under Biden. Feds target rate is 2%. You have to have some inflation otherwise you don’t have growth.

Inflation has come down since Trump took office, that’s a FACT.

In 1971 President Nixon took the USA off the gold standard that caused some turmoil and uncertainty in the markets, as
iy undermined the US Dollars reserve currency status established by Bretton Woods after WW 2. In 1973 the USA and the Saudis signed an agreement ensuring every barrell of oil was to be sold in US dollars globally and profits to be invested in US Treasuries, giving birth to the Petro Dollar and helping maintain the US Dollar as the worlds reserve currency,Stabilizing the US economy. In return the Saudis would benefit by having protection from the US military as the Middle East was in chaos.
This formed the Trilogy, US with the dominant military, UK banking (Rothschild) and Saudi energy.

Trumps first order of business has been to take care of the UK and Saudi relations to ensure and strengthen the Trilogy alliance moving forward.

One problem holding China back is energy, their own production of oil accounts for approximately 20% of their current demand, They need access to as much oil as they can, especially if they want to continue to grow their economy and bring more people out of poverty. So Trumps trip to the Middle East Isn’t just a photo op.

This trade war with China is not gonna be without cost but ultimately the benefits of resetting US and global trade will be worth it. Also expect India to come out way ahead in it all too as production moves away from China and in to India.

Still a long way to go but Trump is making the right moves to strengthen the US and its allies at the expense of China, It’s about time.
