“No need for producing or stockpiling new nuclear weapons“

That one worries me slightly. Unless you know for sure that your enemies aren’t doing it, why voluntarily put yourself at a disadvantage?

The guy who writes the market-ticker.org blog says chip manufacturing was regulated to death by environmentalists.

Does anyone know if this is true?

Car tariffs are coming soon

For the record, Germany has a 10% tariff on car imports (plus the VAT).

We have amazing tech for verifying compliance with nuclear agreements—this is not the 1960s any more.

So is china spying on America with tik tok or not? Why the obsession with keeping it around? A few years ago it was spying and on US and brain rot by spreading Chinese propaganda. Now its fine? Odd turn of events. I can only assume its not spying on US, if it was, surely Trump would shut it down.

I disagree on the nuclear weapons produce\stockpile comment.
Nuclear weapons age and go from ready to not useable to possibly dangerous to store over time. They need to be kept ready and be replaced on an as necessary basis.

No worries in the least in my mind.

If we are (We are.) entering a “Golden Age”, in a shift to NESARA/GESARA, nukes are banished from this planet. Period.

Nukes are a weapon used by the Deep State to keep us in fear and divided.

Your cellphone, PC, smart speaker, ring camera, etc. are spying on you. TikTok is the least of your total surveillance state worries.

The Big Government cultist wanted Tik Tok banned because it gave them an opening to pass a law to ban any website they did not like. It also was banned because big dollar Democrat donors like Facebook could not compete with it.

So they trotted out the old lie about “national security” and “privacy” as an excuse to ban it.

“No need for producing or stockpiling new nuclear weapons“

This seems like a veiled warning to Iran for producing and the Chicoms to quit stockpiling.

All those are a given, but Trump and others accused the chinese government of spying on us via tik tok and led a effort to ban it in the US.

Has that changed?
