Siemens unveiled two new state-of-the-art facilities for electrical products in California and Texas this week as part of a $285 million investment in manufacturing in the United States, the tech giant announced on March 7. The German technology company said in a statement that the new factories in Pomona, California, and Fort Worth, Texas, are expected to create more than 900 manufacturing jobs combined. Equipment produced at the facilities will support the booming artificial intelligence (AI) data center industry across the country and bolster “America’s leadership in the industrial AI revolution,”

Knowing that President Trump has essentially stopped the Ukraine/NATO/IC/EU offensive combat operations for Ukraine that use western supplied drones/missiles with complete reliance on U.S/NATO targeting, it does not come as a surprise to see Ukraine President Zelenskyy call for a “sky and sea truce.”Zelenskyy’s proposal for Russia to stop the air and sea combat operations, while simultaneously supporting frontline combat operations, is essentially an EU effort to maintain the fight by counteracting the Trump pressure point.
EU spokesperson Volodymyr Zelenskyy doesn’t factually want a ceasefire; they want a situation that retains the status quo and neuters Russia’s strategic advantage.

Previously French President Emmanuel Macron refused to commit to putting French troops together with U.K troops on the ground in Ukraine. Politically in France, Macron is on the ropes. Obviously, such a direct commitment of troops into Ukraine would put tenuously positioned Macron in an even worse position. However, putting French technical support systems into place to replace the withdrawn U.S. targeting system just sounds better.

Macron said in an address to the nation on Wednesday that Russia was “a threat for France and Europe”, that the Ukraine was already a “global conflict”(snip) would open a debate about extending the French nuclear

The original information from an FBI whistleblower first surfaced in 2022. Essentially the information was that the DNC contracted law firm of Perkins Coie had an FBI workstation in their DC office since 2012.The Perkins Coie workstation (collocated by the FBI) has access to the NSA database on all Americans, including political figures. The Democrats contracted with Perkins Coie for “political research.”
It doesn’t take a lot of thinking to realize what this set up was all about; Perkins Coie could do opposition research on any candidate and feed that information to the DNC for use in their campaigning.
This means both Marc Elias (DNC lawyer) and Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer
WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on March 6, making amendments to tariffs recently imposed on Mexico and Canada. According to the orders, goods that fall under the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be exempt from tariffs until April 2. The USMCA was enacted during the first Trump administration.
“USMCA compliant goods will not have a tariff for the next month until April 2,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a statement. “That includes autos, and the autos were the lead in getting this deal done.”He said Canada and Mexico have done a good job of offering the United States help in curbing fentanyl trafficking.

The 27 leaders of the European Union countries are meeting tomorrow, Thursday, in Brussels with an urgent agenda to figure out what to do with Ukraine and their own security state if the USA draws-down military support.
After years of taking little action, the EU leaders are now facing a crisis situation trying to figure out how to pay for expanded military for their own defense. The latest proposal from EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen calls for €800 billion in EU defense spending, much of it from secured loans to various EU countries.
Expressing frustration over the intransigence of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who demands to maintain the killing fields in Europe, President Trump says, “America will not put up with it much longer.” The remarks by Zelenskyy follow a meeting in London with various EU leaders who are assembling a ‘coalition of the willing’ to support Ukraine with enlarged military operations. Zelenskyy tells the AP:
““We are talking about the first steps today, and therefore, until they are on paper, I would not like to talk about them in great detail.” “An agreement to end the war is still very, very far away, and no one has started
THE WHITE HOUSE — The Trump administration promised to “take action” if Americans’ speech is censored by U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s crackdown on free speech.
In response to a question from The Federalist about the United Kingdom’s suppression of free speech, Trump said it was a “very important” issue that his administration is talking to the U.K. government about.
Trump said that he spoke to Starmer about his censorship regime during their visit, and that Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had also brought up the concern.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues to shine as he speaks through the issues of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and speaks commonsense to the dynamic the western media pretends not to know.
Appearing on ABC, Secretary Rubio cuts to the chase in his support of President Trump and the administration officials who are organizing the most practical end to war, destruction and bloodshed. (snip)
The Zelenskyy defenders, NATO and the EU must pretend the U.S didn’t carry out a color revolution in Ukraine. They must also pretend they didn’t install Volodymyr Zelenskyy and pretend there was no civil war happening inside Ukraine for a decade

President Donald Trump is preparing to cancel a 2022 sanctions relief agreement with Venezuela, citing the country’s election conditions and insufficient efforts to repatriate its citizens from the United States.
On Nov. 26, 2022, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) issued a license authorizing the U.S. multinational oil and gas company Chevron Corp. to pursue business ventures in Venezuela.
President Joe Biden’s administration had offered the license agreement as Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro held talks with his political opposition to hold a free and fair election in 2024.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is holding a Ukraine summit in London today with EU leaders, following two phone calls with President Trump.
According to the outline Starmer proposed on BBC News, following the disastrous Zelenskyy meeting in the White House, the British PM called President Trump and also Emmanuel Macron. According to his statements, Starmer told Trump he would work with Macron +2 unidentified countries (a “coalition of the willing”), to organize an EU security force for a Ukraine ceasefire; then the group will require Trump to provide a U.S. troop “backstop” as an insurance policy.
Starmer completely ignores the NATO provocations against Russia that preceded the military operation
Not unexpectedly, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ruled that unelected bureaucrat, Hampton Dellinger, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel head has more unilateral power within the executive branch of government than President Donald Trump. [RULING pdf HERE]This ruling stems from the same mindset as former AG Bill Barr, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy AG Sally Yates, former IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson, and the entire organization of professional Lawfare activists that includes Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen. The collective belief is that in the modern “continuity of government” framework, the bureaucracy of government controls things, not the elected and plenary President.

Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s second term was an “existential crisis,” so Democratic lawmakers must be willing to “fight and die.”
Discussing the ten Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX) over his interruption during the president’s address to Congress, Hostin said, “They don’t know how to fight and be part of an opposition party. Representative Green gave them the example. The Democrats are not meeting the moment. It is very clear that Medicaid is on the table. It is very clear that Social Security is on the table. It is very clear that people will die.

Days After Saying It’s ‘Unfair’
For Men To Compete 23 replies
California Gov. Gavin Newsom refuses to protect women’s sports just days after he claimed it was “unfair” for men to play in women’s sports.
In a podcast featuring Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk, Newsom said men in women’s sports are “unfair” but did not answer Kirk’s question as to whether men should be prohibited.
Newsom then suggested that there needs to be a way to balance fairness with the mental health of these young men, otherwise they might “commit suicide.”
“There’s also a humility and a grace. You know that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide,
Columbia, S.C.— I’ve now watched through glass and bars as 11 men were put to death at a South Carolina prison. None of the previous 10 prepared me for watching the firing squad death of Brad Sigmon on Friday night.
I might now be unique among U.S. reporters: I’ve witnessed three different methods — nine lethal injections and an electric chair execution. I can still hear the thunk of the breaker falling 21 years later.
As a journalist you want to ready yourself for an assignment. You research a case. You read about the subject.
In the two weeks since I knew how Sigmon was going to die, I read up
Stock up on popcorn, folks — the American political world is about to get a little more entertaining, in the "point and laugh" sense, as Kamala Harris is thinking of sticking her toes back in the political waters. We see now that she is "setting a timetable" for her next big political decision. Why would she need a timetable to make a decision? Either do it or don't. But this is the Queen of Word Salads we're talking about, so...
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is setting a timetable to make a major decision about her political future.
An illegal immigrant who served as deputy communications director for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) has fled the United States for Colombia, saying he finally has "freedom of movement."
Diego de la Vega, who arrived in the United States from Ecuador at age seven and overstayed his visitor's visa, began working for Ocasio-Cortez in October 2022, according to his LinkedIn. Last December, de la Vega left the United States and relocated to Bogotá with his wife, another illegal immigrant, the Substack "Migrant Insider" reported.
Ocasio-Cortez praised her former aide on Wednesday, saying he was "amazing" and that "we love him."
The frontrunner to take over the reins from Justin Trudeau on Sunday when Canada’s Liberal Party chooses its new leader is a tough-talking former Goldman Sachs executive who has compared President Trump to the Harry Potter villain Voldemort.
Mark Carney, credited with helping Canada dodge the worst of the 2008 financial crisis when he was governor of the Bank of Canada, is viewed by his countryman as the politician most trusted to handle Trump, polls show.
“When you think about what’s at stake in these ridiculous, insulting comments of the president, of what we could be, I view this as the sort of Voldemort of comments
One of President Donald Trump’s golf courses in Scotland was vandalised by a group of “pro-Palestinian” protesters, who defaced the property with graffiti and dug up the greens.
The Palestine Action group claimed responsibility on Saturday for multiple acts of vandalism at the Trump Turnberry golf resort in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
One of the buildings was splattered with red paint, greens were dug up, and messages such as
Democrats running for office better be strategizing for money that might not be able to be deposited into their war chests because this organization might not exist soon. ActBlue is in total turmoil. Top staffers are leaving in droves, with their unions demanding some explanation for the dysfunction. These aren’t 2024 election staffers either; these are longtime operatives who are fleeing for the hills. You could argue that Congress’ probe into the group might be the impetus, but it might be more. The New York Times shockingly covered this damaging story regarding Democratic Party fundraising, adding that no one they contacted would go on the record
It’s good to be king — or a district judge.
Judge Amir Ali has no power to appropriate money or spend it.
Neither does he have any authority over the conduct of US foreign policy. Ali is not letting that stop him in his escalating conflict with the Trump administration over USAID spending, though. The judge won a modified victory in the Supreme Court, which opted not to stop him from trying to force the Trump administration to spend money that it has currently paused.
In a dissent expressing shock and dismay that the court is letting Ali proceed on his current course,
Maxine Waters (D-CA) has once again stirred controversy with her remarks, suggesting that Elon Musk may have interfered in the 2024 U.S. election. The outspoken Congresswoman raised concerns about the billionaire’s influence, claiming his control over major social media platforms and media outlets potentially swayed the election outcome. Waters’ allegations come amid Musk’s efforts to dismantle and reform government agencies after millions of dollars were discovered wasted on progressive programs and empty office buildings.
The Environmental Protection Agency has no ability to track or conduct oversight of more than $650 million in taxpayer funds that a Biden-backed green group wired to dozens of credit union accounts last month, the agency told the Washington Free Beacon.
In mid-February, the New York-based eco group Inclusiv—which received $1.9 billion last year as part of the EPA's $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program—transferred $651 million to 108 credit unions across 27 states and Puerto Rico. The group said the credit unions would use the funding to offer financing for green energy projects such as solar installations and electric vehicle chargers within their jurisdictions.
The worst part about being chairman of the College Republican club at my school (shoutout to JMU) was constantly being hit on by babes. I’d tell them, “Stop, please, I’m trying to do important work here. Go harass the football star instead.” But NOOOO. They just wouldn’t leave me alone. I never had a moment’s peace.
Because, obviously, nothing’s sexier than being in a political party. It’s the coolest thing ever!
Okay, I’m lying. Most of the time, talking politics is an anti-aphrodisiac: People either don’t care at all — or they care WAY too much. (Hide the knives.) Neither party had a positive Q rating,
