Carville: "He's Drowning, Give Him an Anvil"
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/19/2024 3:38:35 PM
Ragin' Cajun James Carville has some advice for President Biden and his re-election campaign. "He's drowning, give him an anvil." That's cartoonishly crazy advice, but that is how Carville operates. Carville was referring to Donald Trump's legal woes and the reaction in the press to his 'bloodbath' remark. Look at any poll or video of any campaign event and it is clear which candidate is ahead so far. Trump leads Biden in all the traditional swing states. Trump has lines of thousands of people standing in line to get into a campaign event, no matter the size of the venue. It could be an airport hangar or

Reciprocal Tariffs 3 replies
As we previously wrote, during the executive order signing event in the Rose Garden on Wednesday, President Trump announced a swath of reciprocal tariffs on imports from every country, including the People's Republic of China.
Then as my colleague Mike Miller wrote on Friday morning, China lashed out with a 34 percent tariff on all U.S. goods entering the Middle Kingdom. Later on Friday morning, Trump shared on his Truth Social account that the administration is extending its reprieve of the U.S. ban on TikTok via a revised executive order, expressing hope of a "deal" being struck for the social media platform with connections to the Chinese
Donald Trump triumphantly celebrated a recent drone strike against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Western Yemen.
The president posted video of the hit by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to his Truth Social page and delighted in the victory.
He wrote: 'These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack. Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis! They will never sink our ships again!'
The video, shot from the sky, shows a group of Houthis - one of several groups backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran - lining up before a gigantic explosion blows them away.
Only two trucks can be seen as the smoke from the blast clears, presumably killing everyone down below.

Seoul, South Korea — South Korea’s highest court has removed embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol from office, ending months of uncertainty and legal wrangling after he briefly declared martial law in December and plunged the nation into political turmoil.
The court’s decision on Friday marks Yoon’s formal dismissal from the presidency after parliament voted to impeach him late last year. His removal takes effect immediately, meaning he must now leave the presidential residence, and will trigger an election to replace him.
It’s a remarkable fall from grace for the former prosecutor-turned-politician, who rose to prominence for his role in the impeachment and imprisonment of another president years
President Donald Trump’s deportations may give a 17 percent wage gain to American construction workers, according to the New York Times.
The wage gain is predicted by a New York Times article that described how cheap migrant labor helped a builder prepare a $2.65 million home for sale to wealthy Americans.
Without immigrant workers, Mr. Anderson’s labor costs could jump by 17 percent, adding $116,000 to his budget, the article lamented:
A shock to the labor market by a loss of workers through deportation and the fear of deportation could potentially drive up wages

President Donald Trump on Thursday cheered Ford’s “great ad” touting its offering employee pricing to every American and how the auto manufacturer employs the most hourly workers of any automaker.
Ford Motor Company announced its “From America, For America” “handshake deal for America” offering employee pricing for all Americans on almost of its vehicles through June 2.
Rob Kaffl, the general manager for marketing, sales, and service at Ford, revealed Ford’s aggressive price move as President Donald Trump announced 25-percent tariffs on imported vehicles and certain auto parts, which will be collected starting on Thursday, as Breitbart News reported.
It has taken a long time but some modicum of common sense seems to be making its way back into San Francisco. It started when the city ousted woke DA Chesa Boudin and continued when it elected a slightly more moderate Mayor in Daniel Lurie. Yesterday, Mayor Lurie took a step that is long overdue. He announced the city would end the free distribution of drug paraphernalia for addicts, at least not without some counseling.
Mayor Daniel Lurie today announced a major policy shift in San Francisco’s response to the fentanyl crisis, focused on getting people off the streets and quickly into treatment and care. Under new guidelines issued
The shrinking Department of Education just issues a notice to state leaders across the country reminding them that public schools are dependent on federal funds and those funds are dependent on compliance with civil rights law, specifically the elimination of DEI programs.
As a condition for receiving federal money, the Trump administration is ordering K-12 schools to certify that they are following federal civil rights laws and eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion practices...
“Federal financial assistance is a privilege, not a right,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said in a statement. He said many schools have flouted their legal obligations, “including by using DEI programs to
FRANKFURT, Germany U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping new tariffs on American imports shocked governments and investors around the world, swiftly spurring both threats of retaliation and calls for negotiation as industries scrambled and global stocks tumbled. China accused the U.S. of “bullying” and the European Union said it was ready to mount “robust” countermeasures, with French officials suggesting taxes to hit U.S. tech giants.
Yet others, like the United Kingdom and Japan, expressed hope for a deal with Trump and refrained from talk of retaliation against the world’s biggest economy, fearing that slapping their own tariffs on American goods will only make things worse.
The Trump administration on Wednesday released its long-awaited formula for calculating the new reciprocal tariffs unveiled in the Rose Garden, offering a clearer picture of how the United States intends to address persistent trade imbalances.
According to a statement from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), the tariffs are calculated using a straightforward formula based on each country’s goods trade surplus with the United States. Specifically, the method divides a country’s trade surplus by its total exports to the U.S., then applies a 50 percent discount to the resulting percentage.
For example, China exported $438 billion in goods

NEW YORK — Financial markets around the world are reeling Thursday following President Donald Trump’s latest and most severe volley of tariffs, and the U.S. stock market may be taking the worst of it.
The S&P 500 was down 4% in morning trading, worse than the drops for other major stock markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1,520 points, or 3.6%, as of 10:10 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 4.0% lower.
Little was spared as fear flared globally about the potentially toxic mix of higher inflation and weakening economic growth that tariffs can create.

LOS ANGELES, California — Consumers in Los Angeles County were shocked Tuesday as a new quarter-percent sales tax, ostensibly to raise funds for services for the homeless, went into effect following a referendum in November.
L.A. voters passed Measure A, which replaced and increased an earlier county-wide sales tax for the homeless. That tax, passed a decade ago, failed to stem the growth of the homeless population and may even have encouraged it.
As Breitbart News reported in November:
The UK Sun noted the effect of the tax on consumers’ pocketbooks:
The sales tax went up from 9.5% to 9.75% to increase funding to prevent homelessness.
Women’s fencer Stephanie Turner refused a match against a transgender opponent at the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland this past weekend, opting to take a knee instead.
When Turner learned that she would be facing off against transgender fencer Redmond Sullivan, she wanted her protest to be caught on video and decided to take a knee just before the match began. She had already participated in warmups and competed in four bouts that day. Take a look: Speaking with Fox News, Turner said USA Fencing has failed to listen to women’s views on trans athletes participating in their sport.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, appointed by Barack Obama, ruled that an illegal immigrant has the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
This ruling came about in the case of Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who faced charges under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), a federal statute that prohibits noncitizens without legal status in the U.S. from “possess[ing] in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.”
Carbajal-Flores, who has been living in the United States illegally, was charged
The Biden administration finalized a rule on Wednesday that’s expected to make a significant amount of the new car market electric or hybrid.
An administration official told reporters Tuesday that under the new rule, 56 percent of the new vehicles on the market in 2032 could be battery electric, while an additional 13 percent could be plug-in hybrids. That’s up from a collective 16 percent of sales being electric and hybrid cars last year.
The rule is a cornerstone of the Biden administration’s climate agenda, as the cars and other light-duty vehicles it regulates currently make up about 17 percent of U.S. planet-warming emissions. The rule also regulates medium-duty vehicles.

Agents at the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and throughout the intelligence community were distributed a newsletter that celebrated an intelligence official for crossdressing, saying that dressing up in women’s clothes makes him “a better intelligence officer,” according to an internal document obtained by The Daily Wire.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent its internal newsletter, called “The Dive” and obtained by The Daily Wire through a Freedom of Information Act request, to personnel across the entire Intelligence Community. Featured in the newsletter was an article by an anonymous official claiming that crossdressing makes him a better intelligence officer.
A conservative fund manager has pulled investments from Tyson Foods, saying the meat and poultry giant has alienated its consumers by laying off Americans workers and hiring 42,000 asylum seekers.
Bill Flaig, CEO and co-founder of the $79 million American Conservative Values Fund (ACVF), told DailyMail.com that he has divested from Tyson and won't buy any more stock in the company.
Angry consumers are boycotting Tyson over revelations that the company is shuttering plants and laying off workers while hiring tens of thousands of asylum seekers — and even hiring lawyers for its new recruits.
A new capital would signify a new beginning for the nation. Everyone who has seen the play Hamilton knows that the nation’s capital was moved to the present site in the District of Columbia due to a dinner-table bargain in 1790 between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton needed Jefferson’s support in Congress to win approval for federal assumption of revolutionary war debts; in return, Jefferson wanted Hamilton’s support in moving the capital from New York City to a location nearer to the population and geographical center of the country, later carved out between the states of Maryland and Virginia.
An Orlando elected official allegedly took control of a 96-year-old woman’s finances and spent more than $100,000 of the nonagenarian’s money on a facelift, Miami hotel room for New Year’s Eve and other personal expenses, according to recently filed court documents.
Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill also allegedly used the six-figure sum on dental surgery, pricey perfume and clothes, and multiple intravenous vitamin infusions, according to reports.
The spending spree came after Hill met the senior citizen in March 2021 and retained power of attorney over the 96-year-old the next month, the Orlando Sentinel reported, citing an Florida Department of Law Enforcement affidavit.
Yesterday we learned the shocking news from Donald Trump's legal team that he has thus far been unable to raise the ludicrous sum of $454 million to post a bond in his civil "fraud" trial in New York City. Under the terms of the latest round of lawfare being waged against him by partisan NY Attorney General Letitia James, Trump is supposed to put up the bond in cash and can not use the value of his properties to cover the requirement while he appeals the ruling. Trump's team reportedly approached multiple financial firms, but none were willing to put up the cash against the value of
Michigan attorney Stefanie Lambert Junttila was arrested in Washington, D.C., on Monday following a court hearing after she gave the “evidence of numerous crimes” to law enforcement containing internal emails from Dominion Voting Systems, AP reported.
Lambert attended a court hearing in Washington, D.C., for a defamation case involving Patrick Byrne, whom she represents. Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock, is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems over his claims of election fraud.
Lambert’s arrest occurred after it was revealed that she had leaked confidential documents from Dominion to Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, who has been actively investigating claims of voter fraud from the 2020 election, according to CNN.
The EPA Is About to Outlaw Your Car

"Outlaw your car" sounds like such an outrageous phrase, and technically speaking, it isn't true — but only barely. What practical difference is there between outlawing something, and regulating it out of existence? That's exactly what the EPA intends to do this week with strict new rules going forward against gas- and diesel-powered cars and light trucks.
Expected as soon as Wednesday, the Biden EPA "is poised to finalize emissions rules that will effectively require a certain percentage — as much as two-thirds by 2032 — of new cars to be all-electric," according to Inside EVs. Politico sells the expected rule as one that would "tackle the nation’s biggest source
What Is Obama Doing in London?

Former President Barack Obama was spotted in London yesterday, but not as a tourist taking in the sights or looking for Princess Kate Middleton.
Instead, Obama was spotted walking into 10 Downing Street for an hour long meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. [Tweet, video]
After leaving the meeting, Obama said he was "tempted" to answer questions from the press but kept walking with U.S. Ambassador to the UK Jane Hartley. [Video]
The move comes just days after news reports that President Joe Biden reportedly claims he has been more successful than Obama, reigniting a decades long rivalry between the two politicians.
Hunter Biden demanded a hearing on Capitol Hill and then didn't show up. Perhaps he should have because his allies in the Democratic caucus aren't handling things well. In the gift that just keeps on giving, Tony Bobulinski's testimony once again produced a must-see moment, this time involving the esteemed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The congresswoman tried to pin the witness down on noting "specific crimes" he witnessed Hunter and Joe Biden commit.
On Thursday, March 21, one of the Democratic party’s most accomplished campaign consultants will die.
In a sense, Hal Malchow has been planning for this day ever since 1987, when a genetic marker test revealed he was likely to develop Alzheimer’s. At the time, he was barely 35 years old, a hustling political operative who had recently come off managing Al Gore’s first Senate campaign while overcome with worry about his mother’s early descent into dementia. (Around her 50th birthday, she was discovered wandering lost in a parking lot in the Mississippi town where she had lived her whole life.) After his mother’s untimely death, in 1990,
