Hiring Accelerates in March Despite Tariff
Hysteria, ADP Reports
Posted By: Imright, 4/2/2025 1:36:07 PM
Private-sector job growth accelerated in March, according to data released Wednesday by ADP, countering gloomy predictions that tariffs would slam the brakes on the labor market. Instead, hiring came in stronger than expected, with 155,000 jobs added across the U.S. economy—even as corporate media and left-leaning economists warn daily of a looming slowdown. Professional and business services led the way with 57,000 new jobs, followed by financial activities with 38,000 and manufacturing with 21,000. “Despite policy uncertainty and downbeat consumers, the bottom line is this: The March topline number was a good one for the economy and employers of all sizes, if not necessarily all sectors,” said Nela Richardson,

The war on Elon Musk and Tesla is driven by far more than politics. One thing is for sure: Tesla owners never saw this one coming. After all, Tesla fans are generally predisposed to embrace climate change and much of the Green New Deal -- positions with large support among people on the Left side of the political spectrum. For many, owning a Tesla is a statement of virtue signaling that you are doing your part to save the world and save the environment. Owners of Teslas are more likely to vote Democrat than Republican. So why would Tesla dealerships and Tesla car owners be targeted for destruction?

Vice President JD Vance slammed criticism of the administration's handling of mass deportations, particularly a media-fueled narrative regarding an alleged innocent father who was deported due to an administrative error. Vance, in an interview with "Fox & Friends," addressed the story of Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father with protected legal status who had mistakenly been deported to El Salvador.
That father Democrats and the media are latching onto to portray Trump's deportation operation as heartless did, according to an immigration judge in 2019, have evidence of an association with the violent MS-13 gang.

Elon Musk will continue to be a “friend and adviser” to the Trump administration — even after his stint at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is up, Vice President JD Vance said Thursday.
The billionaire, who is DOGE’s lodestar, is expected to step back at the end of next month given his tenure with the admin was only ever meant to be temporary.
“Of course, he’s going to continue to be an adviser,” Vance told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” following reports in lefty media outlets that Musk was stepping down.

Over Warrant Controversy as it Welcomes Netanyahu 3 replies
An “unacceptable” bid by the International Criminal Court to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has led Hungary to withdraw from the globalist institution, its government said on Thursday morning.
The Hungarian government is commencing the process to withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC) today, it said, saying the body had become politicised and is no longer fit for purpose. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived in Budapest for a four day visit, his first visit to a European country and only his second foreign trip since the ICC issued a warrant for his arrest in November last year over alleged war crimes.

Journalist and author Batya Ungar-Sargon admits that she once succumbed to TDS—Trump Derangement Syndrome—and even stopped going to her local bar in 2016 because people there voted for Trump. But now, she’s had a conversion and describes herself as a "MAGA lefty." I’m not one who refuses to accept those that have seen the light—there’s a plethora of progressives who are coming to the belated realization that the Democrats and the mainstream media have been gaslighting and brainwashing them for decades—and we should welcome them, not shun them (with caution, of course, because some of them are just
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued a warning to countries looking to retaliate against the United States over the tariffs President Trump announced on “Liberation Day.” "Sit back, take a deep breath, don't immediately retaliate. Let's see where this goes, because if you retaliate, that's how we get escalation," Bessent told CNN, adding that “doing anything rash would be unwise.” (X Video)

Education Department, So Linda McMahon

House Democrats held a press conference outside the U.S. Department of Education on Wednesday and were greeted by Secretary Linda McMahon, the target of their disdain.
One can almost hear the voice of former WWE announcer Jim Ross - Bah Gawd, that's Linda McMahon's music!
McMahon met with approximately a dozen lawmakers earlier to discuss concerns about Education Department (ED) layoffs. The Democrats expressed gratitude for McMahon taking the time to meet them, but certainly voiced their criticisms. (Isn't it something that, all this time, they just needed to make an appointment rather than accosting and harassing a security guard to try and bust in?)
The freedom afforded to the United Kingdom by its Brexit withdrawal from the European Union has been credited with helping the country avoid the worst of the Trump tariff actions.
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a slew of tariff measures with the aim of resetting America’s trade relationships with the rest of the world, intending to encourage the return of industry to America after decades of globalisation hollowed out manufacturing hubs and corporations sent jobs and wealth abroad.
Europol has busted a massive international pedophile network based in Germany, the agency announced on Wednesday.
According to Europol, authorities successful raided an expansive child exploitation network operating across more than 30 countries.
The takedown resulted in numerous arrests connected to the distribution of illegal child abuse content.
The European Union’s law enforcement agency confirmed that the illicit online hub, operating on the Darknet under the name “Kidflix,” was brought offline through a coordinated investigation
President Donald Trump on Wednesday revealed a chart detailing the reciprocal tariffs he will impose on other countries, saying, “They charge us, we charge them.”
“China, 67 percent tariffs charged to the USA, including currency manipulation and trade barriers,” Trump said at a press conference announcing his trade policies on what he has deemed “liberation day.” “At 67 percent, we’re going to be charging a discounted reciprocal tariff of 34 percent, in other words, they charge us, we charge them, we charge them less, how can anybody be upset,” Trump continued.
New chat logs released by the House Judiciary Committee this week show the extraordinary lengths the FBI went to behind the scenes to shut down any discussion of Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 after The New York Post broke the story.
The conversations, withheld by the FBI under Director Chris Wray, show that senior leadership issued an internal “gag order” on the laptop.
The FBI had been in possession of the abandoned MacBook Pro for 10 months by that stage, after computer repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac handed it over and warned of the potential crimes and national security concerns he had found.

He May Ban or Jail Me 41 replies
Canadian-born Neil Young is worried he may be barred from returning to the U.S. by President Donald Trump’s administration after his upcoming European tour, lamenting Tuesday his outspokenness against Trump may make him a target for summary retribution.
The musician made his fears public on his Neil Young Archives website, saying:
When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminum blanket.
That is happening all the time now. Countries have new advice for those returning to America.
A group of Republican senators voted along with Democrats on Wednesday for a resolution to undo President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports, dealing an embarrassing blow to Trump.
The resolution expresses the sense of the Senate and doesn’t have the force of law, but its 51-48 passage is unwelcome news for the president on the very day he announced a host of new tariffs.
Four Republicans — Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) — voted for the measure.
They voted to express their disapproval of Trump’s tariffs on Canada
Michelle Obama reflected on dating her now-husband, Barack Obama, before he started his career and found financial success.
During Wednesday’s episode of her “IMO” podcast, the former first lady and her brother/co-host, Craig Robinson, chatted about money in relationships.
“Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially sound when you meet him?” Robinson questioned, to which Michelle responded, “Uh, I married one.” (Photos) “I left my corporate firm when I met Barack,” she later explained. “I had somebody who was like, ‘I got your back. The risks you think you’re taking, they aren’t that crazy, and I’m here to help you.'”
Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey claimed Tuesday President Donald Trump channeled “McCarthyism” by threatening to pull over $200 million in federal funds for Harvard University.
The Trump administration is investigating the Ivy League school over its failure to address antisemitism on campus, particularly since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas that killed over 1,200 people in Israel. Markey claimed the crackdown on antisemitism would “turn out very poorly” for the United States. [Video]
“Look, anti-Semitism is wrong, anti-Semitism must be fought, anti-Semitism is something that we cannot tolerate in our nation,” Markey claimed. “But authoritarianism is not the answer to anti-Semitism.
Val Kilmer, the Juilliard graduate with leading man looks known for taking on roles that went far beyond his appearance, has died. His his daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed to the New York Times that the actor had passed away after battling pneumonia. He was 65.
Kilmer’s early films included comedies like Top Secret! (1984) and Real Genius (1985), as well as breakout role as LT Tom “Iceman” Kazansky opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986). That was followed by the fantasy film Willow (1988). His breakout as a leading man came with his mesmerizing, leather-clad portrayal of Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors.
Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Prime” that the Democrats have planned so-called shadow hearings to “expose” the Trump administration’s “corruption.”
Co-host Alicia Menendez said, “You announced today a set of hearings are going to have next week with fired DOJ officials. What is it you are hoping to learn from them?”
Schiff said, “Well, today as you know, we saw the case, the corruption case against the mayor of New York dismissed with prejudice. That means that case can never be brought again. It wasn’t dismissed because of a lack of evidence.
MELBOURNE, Fla. - A Florida woman is facing charges after allegedly pointing a gun at two boys who were fishing in a pond near her backyard.
She forced them to the ground, where they remained for about five minutes until her husband exited the residence and disarmed her, according to an arrest affidavit.

MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill claimed Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump was deporting people because he didn’t “like their opinion.”
McCaskill said, “The underpinning for this whole thing is this idea that we’re at war with Venezuela, and therefore, these people need to be deported without due process, without the court’s involvement. Clearly, everybody in America wants violent criminals who are here illegally out of the country, end of discussion, full stop. So let’s do it according to our laws. It’s not that hard. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time.”
She continued, “We have been a beacon to the world for the brightest minds to come to

Brown University has opened an investigation into a student for sending emails to administrators asking them what they do in a day.
The 20-year-old sophomore at the university, Alex Shieh, sent emails to all 3,805 administrators at Brown asking them to “Describe what tasks you performed in the past week.” Now the school is investigating him for inflicting “Emotional/Psychological Harm” on the staff, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
School officials accuse Shieh of obtaining confidential information and are requiring him to send proof he has deleted the content, essentially requiring the student to incriminate himself, something that Brown’s policies are supposed to protect him from.
As the Gateway Pundit recently reported, the Trump administration is planning to take over the seating chart in the briefing room, a power once held by the far-left White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA).
Members of the WHCA, who are apparently a bunch of toddlers throwing a tantrum over the change, considered doing a 1960s style ‘sit-in’ protest in order to object to the changes.
The left views the entire world as a liberal college campus. This is just more proof of that.
One of former President Joe Biden’s senior aides admitted in a new book that the 82-year-old couldn’t grasp the back and forth of debate and would fall asleep by the pool while they prepped for his showdown with Trump, according to a book excerpt.
Top Biden aide Ron Klain, who helped the former president with debate prep, was “half-seriously” wondering if Biden believed he was the president of NATO rather than the president of the United States, according to the excerpt of Chris Whipple’s new book published by The Guardian. While they prepped, Klain reportedly told Whipple that the then 81-year-old president “didn’t know what Trump had been saying
Women’s fencer Stephanie Turner refused a match against a transgender opponent at the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland this past weekend, opting to take a knee instead.
When Turner learned that she would be facing off against transgender fencer Redmond Sullivan, she wanted her protest to be caught on video and decided to take a knee just before the match began. She had already participated in warmups and competed in four bouts that day. Take a look: Speaking with Fox News, Turner said USA Fencing has failed to listen to women’s views on trans athletes participating in their sport.
