“The terms Ukraine and government corruption are synonymous regardless of who is funding the schemes. After Volodymyr Zelenskyy grabbed more power by stripping two key anti-corruption agencies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP), of their independence, protests erupted.
European leaders immediately noticed the intent of the power move and threatened Zelenskyy with a withdrawal of support. The current dictatorship of Zelensky and his small team then quickly reversed course. However, the damage is done, and once again Ukranian corruption is center stage.”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/07/29/zelenskyy-on-ropes-ukranian-regime-grabs-more-authoritarian-power-then-backtracks-when-protests-erupt/
Besides losing support from European leaders Zelenskyy’s move to get rid of anti-corruption agencies also sparked large street protests by the Ukrainian people. While Putin is an acknowledged dictator, Zelenskyy is a want-to-be dictator who can still be removed by Ukrainians revolting against him, which is mainly why he backtracked on his removal of NABU and SAP. His hero mask, nevertheless, has slipped, except for fools who have invested too much ego in seeing him as another Churchill.

So what have I missed the last week?
I wanted to touch on these ridiculous tarriffs, because for anyone who doesn’t think these will reach the American consumer, you are wrong.
For instance. A new secure phone that I know is coming out shortly, (which by the way destroys that Liberty phone that sells for $1999 and is garbabe) which will now have to either raise its price by $100 a phone…or the owners of that company will have to cut their profit margin by nearly 40%
Which do you think will happen. So with that I finally figured out what these tarriffs are. A tax hike without having to call it a tax hike, but this tax bill will be paid by all Americans.

However the actual goal of the 70’s inflation was to buy time until brenton woods 2 could be established w the petro dollar system. Once that was in place the dollar strengthened again and no need to do world wide money printer.
In many ways the early 70’s inflation was a mirror image of post covid world wide money printer plan

The NYT is not happy. They give a blueprint for what Powell will probably say in his presser.
“Economic growth softened in the first half of the year, as tariffs and uncertainty upended business plans and scrambled consumers’ spending decisions.
Gross domestic product, adjusted for inflation, increased at a 3 percent annual rate in the second quarter, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday. That topped forecasters’ expectations and appeared to represent a strong rebound from the first three months of the year, when output contracted at a 0.5 percent rate.
But both those figures were skewed — in opposite directions — by big swings in trade and inventories caused by President Trump’s ever-shifting tariff policies. Taken as a whole, the data from the first six months of the year tell a more consistent story of anemic, though positive, economic growth.
Many forecasters expect a further deterioration in the months ahead, as tariffs work their way through supply chains, federal job cuts filter through the economy and stricter immigration policies take a toll on industries that rely on foreign-born workers.”
They are right that huge inventories were built up in anticipation of tariffs and that the full effect of the misguided tariff policies have not been felt yet. But again, there are offsetting factors that could mitigate that.
Federal job cuts? Zzzzzz….. not too sure how they affect the “economy”, many of these people got buyouts, they will continue to spend. And we are talking at most a few hundred thousand, not millions.
“Foreign born workers”… I guess this means illegals. I am a foreign born worker. I am skeptical of the impact, most illegals will still be working. And while some businesses that employ them might now face higher costs, this could affect inflation (labor costs passed on to consumers) I don’t think it will have a big impact on GDP.

That doesn’t mean that some specific manufacturers didn’t run up inventories, just that, in the aggregate, there were no material spikes to justify delayed tariff effects.
for examples of data to support this, go here –

And of course, nobody is discussing the “aggregate: here, what a load of crap.
The inventories were built up specifically with imports from countries the importers viewed as likely to have tariffs imposed. Plus, the “pipeline” for these products is months in the making, so there was a lot of stuff throughout the supply chain (and there still is). The lead time for products from Asia are often as long as 6 months, sometimes longer.
So the fact is that the NYT, which is often wrong, is actually correct in stating we have not seen the full impact of tariffs yet.

Because it might mean “throwing marginalized groups under the bus on issues like trans or women’s rights.” Newsflash: Young men (and men in general) are the marginalized group in 2025. They are constantly berated as the bane of society. Meanwhile, Democrats spend much of their energy trying to appeal to mentally ill people who believe they can change their sex and purple-haired women who screech about fascism on TikTok.
The reality of the situation for Democrats is simple, and they don’t need to pay consultants to figure it out. You can not have a party that caters to the worst excesses of the far left while also appealing to the majority of young men. It’s not a solvable equation, and unwittingly, this focus group and the way it’s framed show that.
Past that, when Barack Obama is your party’s only “masculine” role model, you’ve got issues. “

The fact is, I was highly critical of the NYT spin I posted above, and my purpose of posting it was to show how ridiculous it was.
I made one comment, that the only part they might have some credibility had to do with the fact that the full effect of the tariff policy has not been felt yet.
But even that was not enough for the protectionist moron, who cannot accept ANY criticism of Trump’s trade policies, you have to be 100% onboard in your hatred of free trade and your undying admiration for tariffs and trade wars.
Bullshit baffles brains.

You would think FLA2025 would thank me for promising to send him a new kiddie pool if he wins the Nobel Prize for Economics for his “original” theory revolutionizing the basic laws of economics.
I even said that if it does happen, I will admit I was wrong, will go out and shoot a crow and eat it.

post the specific statements village idiot, not your false interpretation. You will see what I’ve posted is exactly as I stated above. I know English is tough for you, just like economics, but you are not accurately summarizing what I written.
here’s a refresher. I’ve bolted the key part that you’ll see in my prior posts – I’ve never posted that tariff’s are “never” reflected in higher prices, lower profits or lower demand, just that whether they are and the magnitude of that impact is dependent are numerous factors that I’ve previously listed and that the 2025 tariffs , which have had enough time to impact the economy, have not yet had a material impact on prices, profits,and demand. In fact, I am pretty sure I’ve posted data that shows some slight tariff effect pushing up monthly CPI, but as I said when I made the post, it is not material as of now.

You are free to believe philosophically in economic protectionism and isolationism, just like I philosophically believe in free trade and free markets.
But I am always going to challenge any attempt to pretend there are no consequences or effects of economic protectionism and isolationism.
Get used to it or GFY, I don’t care which.

so if I’m reading Jason the village idiot correctly, he thinks that instigator tariffs will ALWAYS be reflected in consumer pricing and have a negative effect on aggregate supply and demand . Interesting. Not only is that not consistent with basic economic theory, but kind of erases what happened during Trump’s first term . No, whether they are and the magnitude of that impact is dependent are numerous factors that I’ve previously listed . we’ll just have to agree to disagree, village idiot.
This is getting tedious. Sorry to all the other HHR posters for getting the thread derailed.

UPDATE: THE FEDERAL RESERVE chose not to cut interest rates… ….but Jerome Powell and the board’s decision was DISSENTED by Fed Governors Waller and Bowman in favor of an interest rate cut. This is a RARE time 2 governors dissent. Not since 1993. THEY WERE CORRECT. But because they’re the minority, we are wasting hundreds of billions.

It’s a political competition Tina. Both want to be Fed chairman and curry favor w Pedofuhrer.
Hence if one dissents, then the other has to dissent.
