Need to double down and clean out all the fraud and criminal illegal immigrants as well.
But Minnesota is just the beginning — then Washington, Oregon, Calif, Maine, New York.

Tariffs
Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301)
Allows tariffs to respond to unfair trade practices.
I asked an AI website whether the prez has the authority to impose tariffs under the Constitution. It said this belonged to Congress, but Congress can delegate this right to the prez, and it did that in 1974 to respond to “unfair trade practices”. This is what Trump has been claiming all along.
Criticism and Social Media
Everyone like to be praised. But does praise have any real value. It is just reinforcing your current behavior. And if that behavior is counter productive, then the reinforcement is actually a negative thing.
Everyone, on the other hand, dislikes criticism. But criticism may actually have real value because it may be pointing in a direction where if you take the implied change in behavior seriously and act on it, that may lead to a very positive outcome.
On social media, you see this disparity all the time. People love the likes and the positive comments, but bristle at any critical comments. Their reaction to critical comments can and often are extremely emotional.
Yet where is the value when comparing praise to criticism? The thoughtful response to criticism isn’t emotion but rational consideration. Does the criticism actually have any merit, and if so, what should I do about it?
But you don’t get this on social media. Just emotional responses. No rationality. So, on balance, the responses in social media have very limited real value, and don’t lead to any productive change in behavior.
Appeal of Socialism
Wages are not keeping up with inflation. So more and more people are not making it. Thus the rise in socialism as the answer. But that answer is pure self-deception. Socialist politicians are offering free everything to people who can’t pay their bills. You see why socialism is happening, particularly in blue cities. But it will not end well — only get worse in those locations.
Blue Versus Red
Blue states versus red states. Obvious which is doing better.
Democratic Party
How politics may become self-destructive. Witness how the Democratic Party, in opposition everything Trump, has been forced into really lunatic positions. This is textbook on how pure politics can induce total disfunction.
This happens when a political party takes up positions merely out of pure opposition no matter how insane as opposed to taking up positions that are actually rational and beneficial whether or not those positions agree or disagree with the opposing party’s platform.
A type of insanity unique to politics.
Venezuela
Venezuela…just part of Trump’s war on drugs from the south. Mexico in the crosshairs. Trump as president is going to really put to a stop to drug smuggling into the US.
Processed Foods
Best thing you can do for your diet and health is stop eating processed foods, which is about 85% of what you find in a typical supermarket.
Food companies are not interested in your health; they are interested in making money off of you with highly palatable but unhealthy processed foods.
Instead, learn how to cook with whole foods — real food, not crazy chemicals.
