  3. Nineveh News:

    A US District judge has ruled that the United States will become the 27th state of Brazil, making the former USA the northernmost state of Brazil, and the largest in size. Most importantly, President Lula da Silva has taken complete control of the former United States immediately, although the formal transfer of land and assets will not be completed until the end of the month of August.

    Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06 on the deck rail. I left six cartridges beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.

    While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, my neighbor across the street mowed his lawn, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of my house.

    After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn’t moved itself off the deck rail. It hadn’t killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had presented to do so.

    In fact, it hadn’t even loaded itself. You can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the Media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.

    Either the media is wrong or I’m in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

    The United States is third in murders throughout the World. But if you take out just four cities: Chicago , Detroit , Washington DC and New Orleans , the United States is fourth from the bottom, in the entire world, for murders.

    These four Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S. All four of these cities are CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data – correct?

    Well, I’m off to check on my spoons. I hear they’re making people fat”.

    https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2025/08/11/the-awesome-power-of-just-doing-things-n2661624

    “He is Just Doing Things. He shut the border. We were told that you can’t do that; the best you could get was to join the GOP castrato chorus in enacting the “bipartisan immigration compromise” pushed by the pompous and ridiculous sap Jimmy “Sooner State Voters Can’t Primary This Dork Soon Enough” Lankford. 

    Among other things, this Vichy-like surrender bill would have banned stay in Mexico, transferred all immigration litigation to the totally- unbiased D.C. courts, and allowed 5,000 invaders in per day before anything could be done – and even then, a Dem president could choose not to act. 

    Trump doesn’t play that. He closed the border. He Just Did It. Then he started tossing out illegals caught inside the interior. Suddenly, we were flooded by hitherto unknown exceptions to the immigration laws passed under Our Democracy – it’s not much of a democracy if the ruling class ignores the law, is it? The compliant and complicit regime media obediently broadcast the true horror of Trump’s willful violation of such longstanding norms and principles as not arresting illegals if they are grandpas, if they are walking dogs, if they have a cousin in the Marines, or if they have successfully scoffed at our laws for 20 years and obtained American squatter’s rights.”

    “They are always going to hate us. Better they hate us for defeating them rather than hate us for being so weak that we choose to lose to them. We have the power. Just Do Things.”

  23. Yep, Tina. Absolutely good news. In case you missed it yesterday from Goldman Sachs –

    Goldman Finds “Sharp Declines” In Import Prices As Foreigners Absorb Trump’s Tariffs

    Fast forward to today when Goldman, similar to Morgan Stanley over the weekend, tried to analyze why those tariffs which it – and so many other economists predicted incorrectly – would already have sent inflation soaring, have failed to do so. While there is a bunch of stuff in the report (which pro subs can read at their leisure here), what was most notable is the “discovery” that it’s not just Japanese car makers.

    As Goldman’s Jan Hatzius reveals, “we find that US import prices on tariffed goods have declined somewhat, suggesting that foreign exporters have absorbed some tariff costs by lowering their export prices to the US, unlike during the 2018-2019 trade war.”

    Our updated analysis shows that a 1pp increase in the product-level tariff rate led to a 0.25% cumulative decline in import prices over the first three months of implementation, with minimal impact thereafter.i

  24. If it wasn’t for fuel oil and transportation, the index would’ve declined, which is pretty extraordinary, considering last year came in at .12% for July. Gasoline and food at home led the declines. Keep in mind, as I’ve written previously, month over month does show slight increases, but it is not material.
