Winning: China Caves to Trump on Tariffs Again

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 4/30/2025 1:34:05 PM

In a stunning reversal that validates President Donald Trump's hardline stance, China caved on Tuesday and lifted its punitive 125% tariff on American ethane imports. The communist regime had desperately slapped this tariff on U.S. ethane earlier this month in a failed attempt to counter Trump's brilliant Liberation Day tariff offensive. Obviously, it couldn't sustain the tariff — China depends on American ethane for its survival, gobbling up about half of our total ethane exports annually, according to federal energy data. The reality is that major Chinese manufacturers like Satellite Chemical, SP Chemicals, Sinopec,

China is trying to shut down importation of US soybeans. This isn't going to last long. China is highly dependent on pork production to feed their population. And they feed those pigs on US soybeans. Pigs can eat other stuff, but won't gain weight anywhere near as fast, and most of those "other things" to feed to pigs come out of the human food supply.....making things worse, not better. Xi is painted into a corner, and he knows it. China CANNOT live without our exports, and we CAN live without their exports.

At Wednesday’s White House press briefing, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller didn’t just push back on media bias — he eviscerated it. In a scathing exchange, Miller directly confronted the press corps over its disgraceful silence on the brutal crimes that illegal aliens commit while simultaneously accusing reporters of running cover for violent foreign gangs and gang members like Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “It is a sad reflection on the state of our media and many of the outlets represented in this room,” Miller began, “that you obsessively try to shill for this MS-13 terrorist while no coverage occurred in your papers

If you watched Donald Trump's cabinet meeting on Wednesday, you may have seen Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins hold up a photo of the Maude family of South Dakota. I'd heard a little bit about the fifth-generation ranching family before that, but I decided to learn more because I couldn't believe the story Rollins told about how the Joe Biden administration treated them. It's unbelievable. Or maybe it's not, given all we're learning about the last four years. [Tweet, video] So here's the full story. Charles and Heather Maude

Héctor Alejandro Hernández Morales, a senior Cuban regime official identified as the once bodyguard and “trusted man” of both late communist dictator Fidel Castro and his brother and successor Raúl Castro, is presently living in Florida aspiring to obtain U.S. resident status, Cuba-focused outlets reported. Hernández Morales, 46, was identified as a senior Cuban Interior Ministry official living in Boca Raton, Florida, after entering the United States in August 2024 using a visitor’s visa. The information was first reported by Cuban-American journalist Mario Pentón and then verified by Martí Noticias. According to the reports, Hernández Morales is hoping to benefit from the 1996 Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA),

Beto O’Rourke is teasing another run for Senate in Texas. O’Rourke was asked at a recent town hall event whether he would consider running in 2026 for the seat currently held by John Cornyn. “If it comes to pass that this is what the people of Texas want, that it’s the highest and best use of what I can give to you, then yes, I will,” O’Rourke responded. O’Rourke, whose real first name is Robert but has styled himself as the Hispanic sounding “Beto,” is somewhat of a laughingstock for his numerous failed campaigns.

A high-ranking official at the U.S. State Department has pleaded guilty to stealing more than $650,000 in taxpayer money — and the media is barely covering it. Levita Almuete Ferrer, 64, of Montgomery Village, Maryland — also known by her alias Levita Brezovic — admitted in federal court today to looting $657,347.50 from the State Department over a two-year span while working as a Senior Budget Analyst in the Office of the Chief of Protocol. According to the DOJ, Ferrer wielded her signature authority like a blank checkbook, issuing 63 fraudulent checks between March 2022 and April 2024 — 60 to herself,

Secretary of State Marco Rubio dropped a bombshell today that should frighten every conservative nationwide. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, President Trump and his team held a cabinet meeting Wednesday. Team Trump spent a good portion of the meeting touting the president’s impressive record on issues ranging from immigration to the economy. But amid the celebration, Rubio mentioned some disturbing information. He revealed that Biden’s Department of State had created dossiers with the full intention of spying on the content and censoring Americans’ free speech rights. ‘We had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans,” Rubio said.

President Trump is raising the stakes once again in his quest to deport as many illegals as possible. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, President Trump and his team held a cabinet meeting Wednesday. Team Trump spent a good portion of the meeting touting the president’s impressive record on issues ranging from immigration to the economy. Liberal reporters present at the meeting responded by peppering the Trump Administration with several silly questions, including about MS-13 gangster Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But an actual journalist stepped up and asked a question concerning activist judges outrageously continuing to handcuff Trump’s executive powers, particularly on deporting illegals.

The media's obsession with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien and suspected MS-13 member who was deported to his native El Salvador, continued on Wednesday. During a cabinet meeting at the White House, a reporter asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio if he's "been in touch" with the Central American country about "returning" Abrego Garcia. Let's just say he wasn't interested in playing that game. [Tweet, video] It's just astonishing to me. There are so many important things going on in the world right now, yet all the press wants to talk about is a guy who allegedly beat his wife and was found driving a human smuggler's car.

Democrats have been losing their minds over the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly obstructing federal agents from arresting an illegal alien, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz. The agents had been waiting for him out in the hallway. The judge allegedly directed them away to see Milwaukee County Chief Judge Carl Ashley. Then, she allegedly hustled Flores-Ruiz out another door. Democrats have been talking about how the arrest is an outrage, a constitutional crisis, and an affront to the rule of law. You even had Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) saying we should "fight this with everything we have." All of that was insane and utter nonsense.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A Democrat who once lived in the White House is now pretending to fear the very policies they helped pioneer. This week’s installment? Michelle Obama—the woman who spent eight years riding in Air Force One, dancing with Jimmy Fallon, and planting kale in the White House garden—now claims she lies awake at night fretting that Donald Trump might deport people of color. Please. Let’s cut through the coddled, media-fed hysteria and hit some cold, hard truth: if there were a presidential medal for deportations, Barack Obama would have a matching set. The man deported over three million people during his tenure.

The Department of Homeland Security called out liberal media, Democrat influencers, and members of Congress who are spreading a “false narrative” claiming U.S. citizen children are being deported. DHS said they are attempting to “demonize our ICE enforcement agents” with such claims. “In both of these cases, the mothers had a final order of deportation,” DHS explained to CNN. “Rather than separate their families, ICE asked the mothers if they wanted to be removed with their children or if they wanted ICE to place the children with someone safe the parent designates. Both mothers chose to deport with their children.”

A group of illegal immigrants were detained in New Mexico for breaching a national defense area that was set up by the United States Army, according to a report from the Associated Press. The Army created a “buffer zone” along 170 miles of the border with Mexico in cooperation with federal immigration authorities. On Monday, federal prosecutors applied a charge for incursions into this defense area against illegal aliens who were detained by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Reportedly, the charges against at least a half-dozen immigrants for unauthorized entry on military defense property were signed by U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison, an Alamogordo, New Mexico-native sworn into office April 18.

Former vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., continued a self-described “listening tour” across the country at a Harvard Kennedy School forum on Monday night, ruling out a 2028 presidential bid and revealing why former Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate. Walz said Harris chose him, in part, because, “I could code talk to White guys watching football, fixing their truck” and “put them at ease.” The Minnesota governor described himself as the “permission structure” for White men from rural America to vote for Democrats.

It seems Bill Belichick’s girlfriend Jordon Hudson’s controversial actions have led to a costly setback for the North Carolina Tar Heels football program. Despite being praised by Colin Cowherd as 73-year-old Belichick's "PR director" following a questionable CBS News Sunday Morning interview, Hudson’s behavior has had far-reaching consequences. The 24-year-old played a key role in derailing the Tar Heels' opportunity to feature in the popular NFL docuseries Hard Knocks.

On Tuesday, Raw Story reported that Gomez attended this year’s event, and she posted footage to social media platform X of herself taking to the podium while ripping of a hijab and addressing a crowd of Muslims. Gomez included the caption, “Islam has no place in Texas. Help me to Congress so we can end the Islamization of America. I only fear God.” Speaking into the microphone, Gomez unleashed on the crowd, telling them that “Islam is the religion of rape, incest, and pedophilia where they bow down to a stupid rock and a false prophet.”

Almost immediately after his death was announced, the media was swarmed with responses from Hollywood stars and other celebrities expressing their sympathy for the passing of this ‘beloved’ pontiff. Many other Catholics, conservative and fundamentalist, more likely silently thought, Ding, Dong, the pope is dead.” I, myself, do not believe that Pope Francis was an evil man,

Former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has sparked fresh facelift rumors after she was spotted sporting an enviably-taut visage. The former president and secretary of state stepped out in New York City on Wednesday night after eating at Carota in the city's West Village. Hillary, 77, looked taut faced and wrinkle free in the new pictures of the two, while Bill looked his 78 years. Bystanders cheered as they left the eatery. Her new look comes after speculation that she went under the knife before beginning her campaign for the 2016 presidency.

Olguin, born in Mexico City, Mexico, and appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, has issued a nationwide injunction blocking President Donald Trump from ending taxpayer funds being used to pay for lawyers for UACs. The Trump administration had sought to get Olguin thrown off the case, revealing that she once worked as a managing attorney for one of the lead plaintiffs in the case, Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto. Attorneys for the Trump administration said Olguin’s handling of the case presents an

Republican senators Rand Paul, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski all voted in support of removing President Trump’s ability to impose tariffs under national security grounds. However, the overall vote failed in the Senate 49-49. The vote was mostly symbolic for the upper chamber as the House previously approved a rule to block any effort to restrict President Trump’s trade authority, and the White House would obviously veto any bill that might pass. However, the vote does showcase the Republicans who are in support of multinational corporations outsourcing jobs and manufacturing. The bill was originally created by Republican Senator Rand Paul and Democrat Senator Ron Wyden.

Nuclear energy in the United States is undergoing a revival. FOX Business correspondent Jeff Flock, reporting Wednesday from the site of a planned Natura Resources small modular nuclear reactor in Texas, said the U.S. has a "voracious appetite for energy" that nuclear reactors can help meet. Natura Resources, founded by Doug Robinson, is developing molten salt reactors, a type of advanced small nuclear reactor. Its molten salt research reactor at Abilene Christian University in west-central Texas is scheduled to go live in just a couple of years.

If you’re of a certain age, you remember how president Gerald Ford became the butt of national jokes for falling on a staircase. During a trip to Austria, Ford got to the bottom of the stairs exiting the airplane and tripped, falling down the last few steps. Everyone from Saturday Night Live on down to local bar comics mocked him for looking like a slapstick character out of a silent picture. Had that been Joe Biden (and it was, during Biden’s presidency), and had the year been 2020-2024, there would have been no joking in the national press or entertainment outlets.

Has that been a place that the Democrats are facing some real weakness and vulnerability?”
