Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast Network! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben, back in OKC, but packing for our move to Malaysia this week! Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China. X is also the best way to contact me. Just follow and send a DM. You can also email me @ bfwesten at gmail dot com After reintroducing myself and giving my China bonafides (0:40), I talk all about why Chinese students should or shouldn’t study in the USA (5:15). Next, we look at the Pray for China cities of the week (31:34), followed by a listener letter about possibly visiting China (44:25). Who is Missionary Ben? I haven’t done this in a long time, but every now and then I am reminded I should probably give a little bit more of my background (and my China bonafides). Now I can’t divulge very much, for security reasons, but here are the basics: moved to China at the age of 19, in the early 2000s, taught myself to speak (and read) Chinese. Lived there w/ my family til I was deported in 2018. Unbeaten: Confronting the Lies (and Laughter) of the Chinese Communist Police The Story of My Arrest, Interrogation, and Deportation from China (Unbeaten.vip) Over those nearly 15 years, I set foot in every province, and visited hundreds of cities, towns, and villages. Alongside our evangelistic work, I helped manage a leather factory in a Muslim town, opened a yak burger/pizza restaurant on the Tibetan Plateau, served as a guide and Tibetan taxi driver, and taught English to elementary kids, high schoolers, and young adults.

Biden put us on course for a recession, Trump is pulling us out of the recession. Jobs are being created. Trump is now shinning a light on the OBBB.

MEANING…. •no tax on tips •no tax on overtime •no tax on American car loan interest •extending Trump's 2016-17 tax cuts ARE ALL “TECHNICALLY” (& stupidly) CALCULATED INTO THE BILL AS “ADDED DEBT”.

Democrats power to Control spending once again. 8. $1.6 trillion more spending welfare on illegals. And people are ignorant enough to think that's somehow a good fiscal thing to do. The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBB), as a budget reconciliation bill, requires a simple majority of 51 votes to pass in the Senate, assuming all 100 senators vote. This is because reconciliation bills are not subject to the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold, allowing passage with a majority vote. With the current Senate composition (53 Republicans, 47 Democrats), Republicans can afford to lose up to two votes from their party if all Democrats vote against it, and Vice President JD Vance could cast a tie-breaking vote in a 50-50 scenario https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1930966257916145884 room and turn on the camera, please. We're all ears 2020–2021: Early Support and Ambivalence Musk's Position: Musk expressed mixed feelings. He acknowledged the credit's role in boosting EV adoption but suggested Tesla didn't rely on it. In 2021, he stated at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council Summit: “We don't need the $7,500 EV tax credit… I'm literally saying get rid of all subsidies, but also for oil and gas.” This reflected his belief that Tesla's manufacturing efficiency and market lead gave it an edge, even without subsidies. However, posts on X indicate Tesla lobbied for the credit's expansion during this period, suggesting some internal support for maintaining it to accelerate EV ...
Lucy Watson, Dan Rivers, and Laura Schwartz gather for an impromptu bonus episode after relations between the world's richest man and perhaps the world's most powerful man collapsed at lightning speed.Elon Musk ramped up the row between the pair yesterday after claiming, without evidence, that Trump's administration hasn't released all the records related to sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein because the president is mentioned in them. He wrote on X: "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public."So what on earth just happened? Where did this spat begin? And how damaging could this be to the U.S. President? The team will be back on Monday with another Q&A session.

This week, Ryan and David break down the political storm brewing around crypto. From JD Vance's fiery speech at Bitcoin 2025 to the Trump meme coin dinner that triggered bipartisan backlash. They dive into Ethereum's biggest capital inflow yet, as a public company raises $425 million to buy and stake ETH, drawing comparisons to MicroStrategy. They also cover the court ruling that halted Trump-era tariffs, the Circle IPO finally moving forward, and early signs of a “Stablecoin Summer” as banks eye their own dollar-backed coins.

Joining the Weekly Rollup this week is Haseeb Qureshi, dissecting Trump's controversial Crypto Strategic Reserve announcement featuring Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and Ripple—causing an initial market surge and a swift reversal. They unpack Sam Bankman-Fried's candid prison interview with Tucker Carlson, revealing a stark divide between human empathy and detached pragmatism. Plus, Trump's erratic tariff policies are rattling macro markets; is it strategic or simply chaotic? Finally, they delve into Ethereum's leadership shuffle, Base's new speed upgrade challenging Solana, and AI's profound reshaping of crypto startups and blockchain usability.

Thankfully, elections have consequences…Episode Links:Before Zelenskyy got owned by Trump and Vance, he met with major warmongers in the US Government. Everyone in this room should be primaried or fired. They're what's wrong with America.JD Vance to Zelensky: "I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media." "You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October. Offer some words of appreciation for The United States Of America and the president who is trying to save your country."It's pretty clear ZELENSKY FORGOT who he was meeting with today. A little more gratitude is in order, and President Trump reminds him of it!Zelenskyy has lost Lindsey Graham, one of the most pro-Ukraine US Senators from either party: "Americans witnessing what they saw today would not want Zelenskyy to be their business partner including me. I've never been more proud of Trump for showing the American people and the world, you don't trifle that this man.Brett Baier shows Zelensky the clip of his best buddy, Lindsey Graham saying he won't do business with him after how he treated Trump. The dictator stutters as he yaps about refusing to step down. Yea, that clip roughed him up!Trump's greatest slap-down ever. Zelenskyy has no cards and yet he's acting irrationally, impudently and ungratefully.President @realDonaldTrump is the Commander-in-ChiefThe Ukrainian ambassador knew it was all over after President Zelenskyy tried disrespectful speaking over the President and VP in the Oval Office White House. That's it! America is back! America first! No more money for Ukraine.

Today, Martha, Morgan, and Jess break down Donald Trump's controversial proposal for Gaza—relocating Palestinians while the U.S. oversees reconstruction. With pushback from Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia and mixed reactions in Israel, the plan raises critical questions about feasibility, diplomacy, and regional security.Who, if anyone, is willing to take responsibility for Gaza? Could this plan derail Saudi-Israel normalization? And what does this mean for the broader regional threat from Iran—has the U.S. lost focus on the bigger strategic picture?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.Check out the sources that helped shape our expert's discussion!https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1887543148781461806/photo/1 https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-defense-minister-orders-army-prepare-gaza-residents-departure-media-2025-02-06/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/02/06/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-egypt-trump-displacement/cd5ab7c2-e46e-11ef-ab83-bb30e4340014_story.html https://apnews.com/article/israel-trump-gaza-netanyahu-169d497ac07760ccb9724bef5982338a Follow our experts on Twitter: @lestermunson@morganlroach@marthamillerdc@NotTVJessJones Like what we're doing here?

This week we talk about tax hikes, free trade, and the madman theory of negotiation.We also discuss EVs, Canada, and economic competition.Recommended Book: How Sanctions Work by Narges Bajoghli, Vali Nasr, Djavad Salehi-Isfahani, and Ali VaezTranscriptOn January 20, 2025, the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, was inaugurated as the 47th President of the US following a hard-fought election that he ultimately won by only a little bit in terms of the popular vote—49.8% to 48.3%—but he won the electoral vote by a substantial margin: 312 to opponent Kamala Harris' 226.Trump is the oldest person in US history to assume the country's presidency, at 78 years old, and he's only the second US president to win a non-consecutive term, the first being Grover Cleveland back in 1893.This new Trump presidency kicked off even before he officially stepped into office, his people interviewing government officials and low-level staff with what have been called loyalty tests, to assess who's with them and who's against them, including questions about whether they think the previous election, which Trump lost to former president Biden, was rigged against Trump—a conspiracy theory that's popular with Trump and many of his supporters, but for which there's no evidence.There was also a flurry of activity in Israel and the Gaza Strip, last minute negotiations between then-president Biden's representatives gaining additional oomph when Trump's incoming representatives added their heft to the effort, resulting in a long-pursued ceasefire agreement that, as of the day I'm recording this at least, still holds, a few weeks after it went into effect; hostages are still being exchanged, fighting has almost entirely halted between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters in Gaza, and while everyone involved is still holding their breath, worried that the whole thing could fall apart as previous efforts toward a lasting ceasefire have, negotiations about the second phase of the three-phase ceasefire plan started yesterday, and everything seems to be going mostly according to plan, thus far.That said, other aspects of the second Trump presidency have been less smooth and less celebrated—outside of the president's orbit, at least.There have been a flurry of firings and forced retirements amongst long-serving public officials and employees—many seemingly the result of those aforementioned loyalty tests. This has left gaps in many fundamental agencies, and while those conducting this purge of said agencies have claimed this is part of the plan, and that those who have left or been forced to leave are part of the alleged deep state that has it in for Trump, and who worked against him and his plans during his first presidency, and that these agencies, furthermore, have long been overstaffed, and staffed with people who aren't good at their jobs—so these purges will ultimately save the government money, and things will be restructured to work better, for some value of “better,” anyway.There have been outcries about this seeming gutting of the system, especially the regulatory system, from pretty much everyone else, national and international, with some analysts and Trump opponents calling this a coup in all but name; doing away with the systems that allow for accountability of those in charge, basically, and the very structures that allow democracy to happen in the country. And even short of that, we're seeing all sorts of issues related to those empty seats, and could soon see consequences as a result of the loss of generational knowledge in these agencies about how to do things; even fairly basic things.All of which has been accompanied by a wave of revenge firings and demotions, and threats of legal action and even the jailing of Trump opponents. In some cases this has included pulling security details from anyone who's spoken out against Trump or his policies in the past, including those who face persistent threats of violence, usually from Trump supporters.On the opposite side, those who have stuck by Trump, including those who were charged with crimes related to the January 6 incursion at the US Capitol Building, have been pardoned, given promotions, and at times publicly celebrated by the new administration. Some have been given cushy jobs and promotions for the well-connected amongst his supporters; Ken Howery the partner of venture capitalist and owner of government contractor Palantir, Peter Thield, and close ally of serial CEO and enthusiastic Trump supporter Elon Musk, was recently made ambassador to Denmark, for instance.Some of these moves have caused a fair bit of chaos, including a plane colliding with a military helicopter, which may have been the result of understaffing at the FAA, alongside an executive order that froze the funding of federal programs across the country.That executive order has been blocked by judges in some areas, and the Trump administration has since announced that they've rescinded the memo announcing that shutdown, but the initial impact was substantial, including the closure of regional Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid infrastructure, and the halting of government funded research and educational programs.Lots of people had their livelihoods threatened, lots worried they wouldn't be able to afford necessary medical procedures or be able to pay their bills, and many people worried this might cause the country to lose ground against competitors in terms of scientific and technological development, while also leading to some pretty widespread negative health outcomes—the government has also pulled health data, so information about disease spread and even pandemics is now inaccessible, further amplifying that latter concern.And that's just a very abbreviated, incomplete summary of some of the actions Trump's administration has taken in its first two weeks back in office; part of a desire on their part to hit the ground rolling and get rid of elements that might stand in their way as they fundamentally change the US system of government to better match their ambitions and priorities.What I'd like to talk about today, is a specific focus of this new administration—one that was a focus of Trump's previous administration, and to a certain degree Biden's administration too: that of US protectionism, and the use of tariffs against perceived enemies; but also, in Trump's case, at least, against long-time allies, as well.—On February 2 of 2025, Trump posted about tariffs on the twitter-clone he owns, Truth Social. And I'm going to quote the post in full, here, as I think it's illustrative of what he intends to do in this regard in the coming months.“The “Tariff Lobby,” headed by the Globalist, and always wrong, Wall Street Journal, is working hard to justify Countries like Canada, Mexico, China, and too many others to name, continue the decades long RIPOFF OF AMERICA, both with regard to TRADE, CRIME, AND POISONOUS DRUGS that are allowed to so freely flow into AMERICA. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER! The USA has major deficits with Canada, Mexico, and China (and almost all countries!), owes 36 Trillion Dollars, and we're not going to be the “Stupid Country” any longer. MAKE YOUR PRODUCT IN THE USA AND THERE ARE NO TARIFFS! Why should the United States lose TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN SUBSIDIZING OTHER COUNTRIES, and why should these other countries pay a small fraction of the cost of what USA citizens pay for Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, as an example? THIS WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA! WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!). BUT WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID. WE ARE A COUNTRY THAT IS NOW BEING RUN WITH COMMON SENSE — AND THE RESULTS WILL BE SPECTACULAR!!!”So there are several things happening there, probably the most fundamental of which is the claim that other countries, including the US's allies, like Canada and Mexico, are taking advantage of the US when it comes to trade. This post followed Trump's signature of an executive order that applied a 25% tariff on all Canadian and Mexican imports, and a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports.A tariff is basically a tax on certain goods brought into a country from other countries.So the US might impose a tariff on Chinese cars in order to keep those cars from flooding US markets and competing with US- and European-made models. And that's what the US did under the first Trump, and then the Biden administration—it imposed a 100% border tax on electric vehicles from China, the theory being that these cars are underpriced because of how the Chinese economy works, because of how workers there are treated, and because the Chinese government subsidizes many of their industries, including the EV industry, so their cars are quite good and sold at low prices, but they got that way because they're competing unfairly, according to this argument. Chinese cars sold at their sticker price on the US market, then, might kill off US car companies, which is not something the US government wants.Thus, the price on Chinese EVs is effectively doubled on the US market, and that, on a practical level, kills that competition, giving US carmakers cover until they can up their game and compete with their foreign rivals.The usual theory behind imposing tariffs, then, if you're doing so for ostensible competitive reasons, at least, is that slapping an additional tax on such goods should allow local businesses to better compete against them, because that additional tax raises prices, and that means local offerings have a government-provided advantage. This can help level a perceptually imbalanced playing field, or it can rebalance things in favor of brands in your country.In reality, though, tariffs often, though not always, become a tax on customers, not on the companies they're meant to target.Chinese vehicles have had trouble coming to the US for other reasons beyond price, including a change in safety standards that would be regulatorily required, and a slew of advantages provided to US companies beyond the hobbling tariffs enforced on their foreign competition. But other goods come into the US market from all over the place, and when there's a tariff of say 10 or 25%, that tax is generally just tacked on to the sticker price on the US market, and US consumers thus pay more for something they might have otherwise bought more cheaply, sans tariffs.This creates an effective tax within various industries in the US economy, and it generally has an inflationary effect, as a consequence; things become more expensive, so the money people earn doesn't go as far.So the new Trump administration announced a new 10% tariff on all Chinese goods, and 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, though energy products like oil from Canada will only face a 10% tariff.China has already lobbed a bunch of counter-tariffs at the US over the past few administrations, and it suggested it would add more to the tally in response to this new flat tariff, and now Canada and Mexico are rattling the same sabers, saying they won't stand by while their neighbor, with the world's biggest economy, elbows them out, causing possibly substantial damage to their local businesses that export goods to the US.The Canadian government has said it will apply 25% tariffs on $155 billion of American goods, including things like orange juice and appliances, those tariffs phased in over the next three weeks. And the Mexican government has said they'll do similar things, without giving specific details, as of yet.That means US manufacturers, companies that make stuff that ends up being sold in Canada and Mexico, could soon see comparable tariffs on their goods sold in those markets. That, in turn, could lead to significant economic consequences for such companies, but also everyday people living in all the affected countries, because of that inflationary effect—that effective tax on all of these goods.So even without those counter-tariffs, these new tariffs from the Trump administration against Canada, Mexico, and China to are expected to cause some real damage to the US economy, and to normal Americans. The Tax Foundation has estimated that they'll shrink US economic output by .4% and increase taxes by $1.2 trillion between 2025 and 2034, which on a micro-scale represents an average household tax increase of about $830 in 2025, alone; an extra $830 out of pocket per household on average because of these punishments that are ostensibly aimed at other countries, to try to get them to do things Trump wants them to do.Most of that $1.2 trillion tax increase is just from the Mexico and Canada tariffs: $958 billion of it, in fact. And during his first term in office, Trump's tariffs imposed about $80 billion worth of new taxes on American households in a single year, from 2018 to 2019—which isn't the same as just hiking taxes, but it amounts to the same outcome; and when compared to straight-up tax hikes, this represents one of the largest tax increases in several decades.Biden kept most of Trump's tariffs from his first administration in place when he stepped into office, and Biden added some of his own, too: especially on strategically vital tech components like computer chips, and next-step product categories like electric vehicles. And the net-impact of these tariffs on the US economy is generally considered to be mostly negative, in terms of practical tax hikes and its inflationary impact, but also in terms of reduced economic activity and employment.Trade wars can sound pretty tough and often serve as nationalistic red meat when reported upon, but most economists consider them to be the legislative equivalent of shooting oneself in the foot; completely open, free trade comes with downsides, as well, including the potential for a nation like China to dump products at low prices in foreign markets, putting local manufacturers out of business, then raising their prices once they've soaked up all the oxygen.But trade conflicts often result in a lot of downsides for everyday, tax-paying citizens, have long-term negative effects on businesses, and can also stoke inflation, causing secondary and tertiary negative effects that are hard to tamp down, later.Knowing this, many analysts have speculated that Trump might be using these tariffs as a sort of shot across the bow, wanting to renegotiate all sorts of agreements with enemies and allies, alike, and using the madman theory of negotiation, trying to convince those on the other side of the eventual negotiation that he's not in his right mind and is willing to burn it all down, wounding himself and his country in order to take out those who he feels have wronged him, if he doesn't get what he wants.There's a chance this could work for him, and his many threats and implied threats have already led to a whole lot of cowtowing and cancelled lawsuits against him and his people, even from folks and entities that have previously been staunchly against Trump and everything he stands for.There's also a good chance that these other governments will see whatever it is he's demanding from them as a small price to pay to get back to something approaching normal relations with the US, and normal dealings with the US's economy.His demands so far, though, have mostly revolved around seeming specters; he's alleging insufficient efforts aimed at drug imports into the US, and that both Mexico and Canada are enabling all manners of money laundering and transnational crimes; allegations that both countries deny, but which probably aren't the point to begin with. These accusations are generally being seen as a means of forcing these tariffs through without the usual process, which would take a while and present the opportunity for government systems to derail or weaken them, which happened to some of the tariffs Trump wanted to hurl at other governments during his first administration.So those seeming rationales might be primarily justifications to force these tariffs through, and it could be that the tariffs are meant to be negotiating leverage first and foremost, going away as soon as he gets what he wants—whatever that actually is.That said, it's also been speculated that a manman-theory-style false threat that's seen to be a false threat—hardcore, arguably nonsensical tariffs against allies, for instance—may not serve their purpose, because everyone knows they're false. That may mean those on the other end of them, if they hold their ground and are willing to suffer a little, could make it out the other side without giving too much away, the US suffering more, and thus, the president eventually giving up, coming up with justification for shifting to a new strategy but mostly just trying to lower inflation levels he raised, and bring life back to a stock market that he collapsed.Either way, it looks like there's a pretty good chance a lot of established norms and folkways will be trampled over the next few years, possibly with good reason, if you support the ends of this administration, at least, though by some indications maybe because of a fundamental misunderstanding of how economics works at this scale, or maybe for different reasons entirely: part of that larger plan to disrupt and demolish aspects of the US system of governance, making way for replacements that are more to the current administration's liking.Note: after recording this episode, but before it went live, the Chinese tariffs went into effect, but the tariffs against Mexico and Canada (and those countries' counter-tariffs) were paused.

#cuttheclutter Within two weeks of taking office, President Donald Trump has scored some major wins internationally with threats of tariffs in Mexico and Colombia while facing backlash over domestic policies such as birthright citizenship. In episode 1601 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta analyses his moves, their consequences, and Trump's diplomatic maneuvers. This CTC was recorded Monday evening, post which there have been a few developments with regard to this story. Mexico and the US reached an agreement. Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum Monday agreed to deploy soldiers to the border to help curb the flow of drugs and migrants and Trump has paused tariffs for now.

On this week's episode of MARS, Matthew & Rizzle look back at the decade of events that transpired in crypto land over the last week. The first topic the two chatted about was none other than the announcement Makers Place made last week about their decision to end commercial operations. Pour one out for Makers Place. The conversation meanders into areas of crypto that are going in the opposite direction, including digital art, but also areas like metaverses filled with agentic ai frogs that are legitimately interesting and are new, low-barriers-to-entry for folks curious enough and willing to put some sweat equity into kicking tires.

This week on the Weekly Rollup: Bitcoin briefly plunged to $93K amidst $1.1B in crypto liquidations, marking the largest single-day event since 2021, with $815M wiped from long positions alone. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs hit a record inflow day of $428M, and Layer 2 solutions like Mantle are driving the ecosystem forward with nearly 1M ETH bridged to Base. On the regulatory front, the crypto world sees both challenges and opportunities as Trump appoints David Sacks as Crypto Czar while Microsoft shareholders reject Bitcoin on their balance sheet.

[SEGMENT 2-1] Democrats backing away from stupidity 3 Congratulations Americans, Patriots. Why am I congratulating you? Because YOU forced Democrats to regain part of their sanity. I'm not sure what step this is in the 12-step program, perhaps Step 12, but it's coming. I've NEVER seen an administration so decisive in its actions. The people being selected know their jobs. And they are already making an impact. The FBI is running scared. I saw that McCabe hates that Kash Patel has been picked to run the FBI. In any other Democratic circles, this pick would be heralded. An Indian running the FBI. He has to be the first, right? But no hoopla. And Vivek Ramaswamy co-chairing DOGE with Elon Musk. Another first for many reasons, but no hoopla over it. And while we will soon feel the effects of the Trump economy first-hand and in a great way, the most impactful to date involves illegal immigration.[SEGMENT 2-2] Democrats backing away from stupidity 4 Remember when Johnston compared his city's commitment to protecting illegal immigrants to the iconic “Tank Man” moment during the Tiananmen Square protests? With zero irony, he boasted about deploying 50,000 angry soccer moms to protect migrants from deportation. “It's like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?” he gushed. This was the same guy who told federal immigration officials, “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you'd have every one of those Highland moms who came out for the migrants.” His bravado didn't last long. President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, responded with a mic drop: CNN's Kasie Hunt visibly stunned after playing a clip of Tom Homan saying he would gladly throw Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail for defying Trump's deportation operation. This is the best video you will watch all day. Homan: Me and the Denver mayor agree on one thing. He's… pic.twitter.com/ab4XMw5GrK — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) November 28, 2024 “He's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.” Now that reality has set in, Johnston is singing a different tune. He's gone from "Come get me, Bro!" to "Don't taze me, Bro!" With Denver's resources drained and voters increasingly restless, the mayor's focus has shifted from grandstanding to damage control. Funny how that works. Now that Tom Homan has threatened to throw Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in prison, he says he ”regrets” making tough guy comments about having his police force stand against federal forces to stop mass deportations “I certainly did not mean to stoke fear on either side of… pic.twitter.com/tB2yfn8csM — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) November 29, 2024 REPORTER: It sounds like you're walking back the comments from a couple days ago saying that you would be willing to send Denver police officers. Do you regret making those comments and now getting questions like this? JOHNSTON: Yeah. REPORTER: Me asking you about that, and I'm sure Denver police officers are now going home to their families and saying, "Hey, I hear the mayor is telling you that you might be deployed to face off against federal forces." Do you regret making those comments? JOHNSTON: Yeah. What I wanted people to understand was the scale of what could be coming if we take the president at his word, which is I don't think anyone envisioned U.S. military troops being deployed to American streets to gather up women and children. [SEGMENT 2-3] Democrats backing away from stupidity 5 Give me your Leftist position and I will show you multiple Democrats who are backing away from Biden administration policies. It's almost as if Democrats were PRAYING for somebody to bring back sanity. Talk about backtracking. But Johnston made the right decision. Because the Trump administration is serious about enforcing the laws. And if it means locking up a few hard asses, then so be it. Sanctuary cities like Denver operate in open defiance of federal immigration laws. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 expressly prohibits policies that block local officials from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement. Despite this, Leftist mayors nationwide have flaunted sanctuary policies, betting that the Biden administration's Department of Justice would look the other way. But under Trump, that bet didn't pay off. His administration cracked down on sanctuary jurisdictions, threatening to withhold federal funding and enforce existing laws. This enforcement resonated with voters who saw sanctuary policies as a betrayal of their safety and sovereignty. Why Voters Backed Trump—and Why They'll Do It Again Trump's appeal in 2016 and beyond wasn't just about “building the wall.” It was about rejecting Leftist policies that prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens. Sanctuary cities like Denver epitomize the broader Democratic Party's indifference to working-class Americans. When voters in Colorado and across the country see their tax dollars funding migrant shelters while their own communities crumble, it's no wonder they rally behind someone promising to put America first. Sanctuary City Spectacle: Comedy, Tragedy, or Both? The Democrats' immigration debacle is a tragicomedy of errors. Sanctuary policies like those in Denver don't just fail—they spectacularly implode, leaving taxpayers holding the bag. Johnston's flip-flop from “Tiananmen Square defender” to reluctant realist underscores the absurdity of it all. At the end of the day, Johnston and his ilk are a symptom of a larger problem: a political party more interested in virtue signaling than governance. Illegal immigration is not a crisis of compassion; it's a crisis of competence. And as long as Leftists continue to prioritize their progressive agenda over the rule of law, cities like Denver will remain stuck cleaning up the mess. Thankfully for Denverites, Coloradans, and all Americans, this nonsense is about to come to a necessary and hopefully final end. Dallas Mayor changes to MAGA Admittedly I treat these flip-floppers with skepticism. It's easy to abandon something when you see that it's a loser. And the Democrats as a party are losers. Still, the fundamental principles should preclude a switch. Take me for example. I can't stand the Republican Party. But I have never abandoned them, for three reasons. One, the Democrats are f'g crazy. Two, Republicans freed the slaves. Three, as Trump proved, Republicans are redeemable. Perhaps that why Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson flipped as well. He left the Democratic Party last fall. And some say that Johnson's departure should have served as an early warning for Democrats. Early? Democrats should have seen this coming since 2016. Many political pundits were stunned when President-elect Donald Trump led Republicans to sweeping wins earlier this month, breaking apart traditionally Democratic coalitions to clinch a second term and secure majorities in the House and Senate. The red wave didn't shock Johnson, however, who said during a Fox and Friends appearance this week that “it turns out I was kind of a canary in the coal mine.” “I didn't think I was going to be some anomaly that everyone needed to worry about,” he said. “I thought that I was going to be a harbinger of things to come.” On Fox & Friends @Johnson4Dallas discussed how @GOP mayors across the country are excited to work with @realDonaldTrump to deliver on the promise of making our cities great again. pic.twitter.com/BsMaQuJbNg — Republican Mayors Association (@GOPMayorsAssn) November 20, 2024 Johnson governed one of the largest cities in the country as a Democrat for over four years before shocking colleagues by joining Trump's MAGA movement. Citing desires to use conservative principles to restore urban centers like his own back to glory, the mayor said that too often, Democratic policies “exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals, and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living.” In the months leading up to the election, Trump received sharp criticism for saying Democrats had destroyed former manufacturing bastions and big cities like Detroit and Milwaukee.

Chinese officials visited Moscow's central bank, finance ministry, and other key agencies to analyze how Russia navigated economic restrictions. This proactive approach speaks to fears China may have over its $3.3 trillion in foreign reserves and overseas bank assets, which would face significant restrictions under Western sanctions. In an effort to mitigate these risks, China is working to diversify away from dollar-denominated assets and reduce reliance on US Treasury bonds, which underpin the global financial system. This comes amid escalating tensions with the US after Washington approved an arms shipment to Taiwan, prompting Beijing to vow “resolute countermeasures.” FinancialFreedomReport.org - BDK Code Audit https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/_2024-q4-code-audit/ - Eclair v0.11.0: Official Bolt 12 Support, Splicing, Liquidity Ads & On-The-Fly Funding Prototypes https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/eclair-v0-11-0/ - Damus Notedeck Alpha Now Available to Purple Subscribers https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/damus-notedeck-v0-2-0/ - Coinbase says to not use VPNs https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/coinbase-asks-users-to-stop-using-vpns-and-ad-blockers/ - Alex Mashinsky: founder of bankrupt crypto firm to plead guilty to fraud https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/dec/03/alex-mashinsky-crypto-fraud-celsius - U.S. Officials Urge Americans to Use Encrypted Messaging Apps https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/u-s-officials-urge-americans-to-use-encrypted-messaging-apps/ - Corporate Transparency Act blocked nationwide by Texas judge https://news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-report/corporate-transparency-act-blocked-nationwide-by-texas-court - what bitcoin did relaunches - 1123 days, shoutout to yellow https://x.com/ICOffenderII/status/1864574706583547911 0:00 - Intro 3:52 - Let's gooooooooo 11:57 - Bitstein video 16:30 - Trump says you're welcome 18:15 - Shoutout to Yellow 20:29 - Dashboard 27:15 - Strike launches bill pay 30:47 - Putin bitcoin comment and BRICS talk 38:38 - Healthcare assassination 41:41 - HRF Story of the Week 43:34 - Boosts and Primal/Fountain talk 50:47 - Software updates 57:22 - Coinbase says no vpns 1:00:09 - Mashinsky guilty plea 1:08:15 - Marty failed Barstool 1:11:07 - US officials encourage encrypted comms 1:22:34 - Corp Transparency Act blocked 1:27:22 - WBD relaunch 1:29:40 - Get back to work Shoutout to our sponsors: Unchained https://unchained.com/concierge/ Coinkite https://coinkite.com/ Stakwork https://stakwork.ai/ TFTC Merch is Available: Shop Now https://merch.tftc.io/ Join the TFTC Movement: Main YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videos Clips YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQ Website https://tftc.io/ Twitter https://twitter.com/tftc21 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/ Follow Marty Bent: Twitter https://twitter.com/martybent Newsletter https://tftc.io/martys-bent/ Podcast https://tftc.io/podcasts/ Follow Odell: Nostr https://primal.net/odell Newsletter https://discreetlog.com/ Podcast https://citadeldispatch.com/
