FightFight's JournalFormer National Intelligence Chairman: Tulsi Gabbard Is Unfit and Dangerous .....Here's why
Trump wants a toady to oversee our national secrets. Her affection for our enemies is worse than you imagine
Gabbard has cozied up to at least two vicious dictators who are America’s enemies: Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own civilians, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, whose deadly invasion of Ukraine has resulted in one million deaths. Instead of holding the guilty accountable, she has defended Assad and blamed the United States and NATO for the Ukraine War.
” When she ran for president in 2019, Gabbard refused to call Assad a war criminal and – most alarmingly of all – declined to reply when asked if she would trust her own intelligence community if she were elected.
YES --TULSI IS A RUSSIAN ASS-et

Trump tariffs would increase the price of cars made by US automakers by over $2K: Wells Fargo
Source: businessinsider
Donald Trump said he'd put in place 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports upon taking office.
This would push up prices for US-assembled cars by an average of $2,100, according to Wells Fargo.
Mexico's president said her country would retaliate in kind to tariffs, impacting joint ventures.

**SUMMARY**
Before hostilities escalated in 2017, the U.S. was China's top agricultural supplier for 18 years running, relying on the nation for almost 20% of its farm goods imports amounting to $24 billion a year.And that's where China has been exposed by the trade war.
**Imports from the U.S. tumbled 45% in 2018** as the two countries hit each other with tariffs. Beijing slapped retaliatory levies ranging from 5% to 60% on almost all American farm goods including soybeans, pork and corn. The duties **gave Beijing crucial leverage over Washington, prompting Trump to announce a $28 billion bailout for farmers faced with a devastating loss in business. But they also forced China to search for supplies elsewhere.**

2024 ARTICLE- UNDER BIDEN--Public health data shows a sudden and hopeful drop in drug overdose deaths across the U.S
PR Exclusive: U.S. overdose deaths plummet, saving thousands of lives
For the first time in decades, public health data shows a sudden and hopeful drop in drug overdose deaths across the U.S.
"This is exciting," said Dr. Nora Volkow, head of the National Institute On Drug Abuse [NIDA], the federal laboratory charged with studying addiction. "This looks real. This looks very, very real."
National surveys compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention already show an unprecedented decline in drug deaths of roughly 10.6 percent. That's a huge reversal from recent years when fatal overdoses regularly increased by double-digit percentages.
Some researchers believe the data will show an even larger decline in drug deaths when federal surveys are updated to reflect improvements being seen at the state level, especially in the eastern U.S.

Trump Doubles Down After Elon’s Shocking “Tank the Economy” Confession--Donald Trump seems to have no concerns about Elon’s Musk’s recent admission
Just hours after Elon Musk admitted Donald Trump’s policies will tank the entire economy, the former president confirmed his plans to let Musk be a part of the destruction, claiming that “nobody is going to feel it.”
In an interview with Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, Trump lauded Musk as a “very exceptional guy” and a “great cost-cutter” when asked about a potential role for the billionaire CEO in his Cabinet. But even more unbelievably, the Republican candidate said with confidence that the American people wouldn’t “feel” the economic impacts of cutting trillions from the budget.
“He’ll cut costs without anybody even knowing it—nobody’s going to notice—nobody is going to feel it,” Trump told Hannity, confirming that Musk does indeed plan to slash $2 trillion from the government’s budget.
Musk has proposed heading a “Department of Government Efficiency” under a Trump Cabinet—and the former president has clearly taken him up on it. At Trump’s hate-filled Madison Square Garden rally over the weekend, Musk announced that the target is $2 trillion in cuts.
Trimming the budget to the level would have to include cuts to essential government services like Medicare and Social Security—and could result in an initial huge economic crash. But Musk admitted Tuesday that that’s all a part of the plan, agreeing with a far-right troll on X that crashing the economy would lead to “sounder footing” in two years.
The plan sounds strikingly similar to that of Musk and Trump’s friend Javier Milei of Argentina. When campaigning for president, Milei promised to “take a chainsaw to the state,” cut public spending on education and health care, and eliminate the central bank and tens of thousands of government jobs. Since his election last year, Argentina has suffered a deep recession and the worst economic downturn in the country in decades, with 57 percent of the population now in poverty and inflation up 270 percent.
As journalist Kevin Drum noted, “Elon is claiming we should literally zero out the entire rest of the federal budget. Everything. The FBI, national parks, food stamps, Medicaid, education, NASA, the EPA, farm support, the NIH, all federal R&D grants, embassies worldwide, the FAA, the Department of Justice, the VA, the weather service, the border patrol, etc. etc. Everything.”
Meanwhile, Trump’s other horrible economic plans would simultaneously dramatically hike inflation and slow U.S. production and economic growth. But perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that two bumbling billionaires are planning to manufacture an economic disaster that will disproportionately harm poor Americans.
Trump's tariff plan will send prices 'through the roof', warn US firms
Source: theguardian
Donald Trump set the business and political world alight late on Monday. The incoming president said he would impose a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada and hit China with more levies on day one of his term.
“This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” he wrote on Truth Social.
Scott Harris has been here before. Eight years ago Catoctin Creek, the Virginia whiskey distillery he runs with his wife, Becky, was generating 11% of its sales in Europe – and expecting to more than double its business there the next year. Then the trade war kicked in.

After Trump imposed steep tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum, the European Union hit back with retaliatory duties, including 25% on American whiskey. “That 11% went to zero,” recalled Harris.
While that initial wave of tariffs was repealed, today Catoctin Creek has “no meaningful business” left in Europe, he said. “A few thousand dollars, but nothing to speak of.”

Trump will be first president since WWII to lose jobs during tenure. The U.S. lost 140,000 jobs in December 2020 in the final jobs report of Trump’s presidency. This means the nation has about 3 million fewer jobs than it did 4 years ago UNDER THE BLACK GUY --OBAMA, meaning Trump will be the first president to lose jobs over his term since employment data was collected in this way. NBC News Now correspondent Simone Boyce explains how it all unfolded.

DEBT AND DEFICIT
Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president. https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump
The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office
TRUMP HAD THE THIRD-BIGGEST PRIMARY DEFICIT GROWTH, 5.2% OF GDP, BEHIND ONLY GEORGE W. BUSH (11.7%) AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN (9.4%).--All Republicans
Republican tax cuts are the driving force behind the country’s worsening fiscal outlook.
If not for the Bush tax cuts and their extensions — as well as the Trump tax cuts — revenues would be on track to keep pace with spending indefinitely, Instead, these tax cuts have added $10 trillion to the debt since their enactment and are responsible for 57 percent of the increase in the debt ratio since 2001
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gop-tax-cuts-driving-us-160437971.html
"Reagan took the deficit from $70 billion to $175 billion. Bush 41 took it to $300 billion. Clinton got it to zero. Bush 43 took it from zero to $1.2 trillion. Obama halved it to $600 billion. Trump’s got it back to a trillion."

**SUMMARY**
Before hostilities escalated in 2017, the U.S. was China’s top agricultural supplier for 18 years running, relying on the nation for almost 20% of its farm goods imports amounting to $24 billion a year.And that’s where China has been exposed by the trade war.
**Imports from the U.S. tumbled 45% in 2018** as the two countries hit each other with tariffs. Beijing slapped retaliatory levies ranging from 5% to 60% on almost all American farm goods including soybeans, pork and corn. The duties **gave Beijing crucial leverage over Washington, prompting Trump to announce a $28 billion bailout for farmers faced with a devastating loss in business. But they also forced China to search for supplies elsewhere.**

US farm groups want Trump to spare their workers from deportation
Source: reuters
WASHINGTON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - U.S. farm industry groups want President-elect Donald Trump to spare their sector from his promise of mass deportations, which could upend a food supply chain heavily dependent on immigrants in the United States illegally.
So far Trump officials have not committed to any exemptions, according to interviews with farm and worker groups and Trump's incoming "border czar" Tom Homan.
Nearly half of the nation's approximately 2 million farm workers lack legal status, according to the departments of Labor and Agriculture, as well as many dairy and meatpacking workers.

Tulsi Gabbard's history with Russia is even more concerning than you think
Tulsi Gabbard’s history with Russia is even more concerning than you think
One expert says her views are ‘so wildly fringe that her potential appointment as DNI is genuinely alarming’, Richard Hall and Andrew Feinberg write
In almost every foreign conflict in which Russia had a hand, Gabbard backed Moscow and railed against the US. Her past promotion of Kremlin propaganda has provoked significant opposition on both sides of the aisle to her nomination.
Her journey from anti-war Democrat to Moscow-friendly Maga warrior began in Syria. The devastating conflict was sparked by pro-democracy uprisings in 2011, which were brutally crushed by the Assad regime. It descended into a complex web of factions that drew extremist Islamists from around the world and global powers into the fray.
