Another day, more hypocrisy. Remember the Republican Congressional investigation into Clinton selling satellite technology to China? Now it's okay to sell advanced technology to China, as long as we get a cut:

Trump Clears Sale of More Powerful Nvidia A.I. Chips to China

President Trump said Monday that his administration had granted Nvidia permission to begin selling its second-most-powerful chip to China, a big step up from what the artificial intelligence chip maker had been allowed to offer to Beijing.

The administration had spent months wrestling with whether it was comfortable relaxing its policy on sales of a critical A.I. technology that has the potential to help China militarily and economically.

In a social media post, Mr. Trump said the Commerce Department was finishing the details and would make similar opportunities available to other chip makers like Advanced Micro Devices and Intel. The president said a portion of the chip revenue would go to the U.S. government, a proposition that experts say could violate U.S. law.

Trump is also a "waffler". Joh Kerry couldn't be a waffler, but Trump can on nearly every campaign position:

The move is also a departure for Mr. Trump, whose administration initially promised to restrict sales of A.I. chips to China. The early position had support across much of Washington, and a looser policy that has become clear in recent months has drawn bipartisan complaints from Congress.
 
Hypocrisy continued:

Trump Insists Tariffs Will Buoy the Economy. For Now, He’s on Damage Control

At the White House on Monday, the president announced $12 billion in bailout money for America’s farmers who have been battered in large part by his trade policies.

Tariffs continue to put upward pressure on prices, putting the Trump administration on the defensive over deep public concern about the cost of living. On Tuesday, the president will go to Pennsylvania for the first of what the White House calls a series of speeches addressing the “affordability” problem, which last week he dismissed as “the greatest con job” ever conceived by Democrats.

China, the world’s second-largest economy and the United States’ main economic and technological competitor, released figures on Monday showing that it continues to run a record trade surplus with the rest of the world, even as its overall trade and surplus with the U.S. narrows. That suggests Beijing is quickly learning how to thrive even in a world in which the United States becomes a tougher place to do business.

And there is scant evidence to date of any wholesale return to American towns and cities of the manufacturing jobs lost to decades of automation and globalization.

Not surprisingly, Mr. Trump tried on Monday to portray the $12 billion in emergency relief for farmers as a victory, another piece of evidence — at least to him — that his decision to impose the highest tariffs on American imports since 1930 are working, or will soon.

In recent weeks, he has promised to use the tariff income flowing into the country to cut a government check of $2,000 for every taxpayer (“not including high income people!” he exclaimed on Truth Social in November). Last week, he declared at a cabinet meeting that “at some point in the not too distant future, you wouldn’t even have income tax to pay.”


Over the summer, he told lawmakers that other deals he is striking — some in return for lowering tariffs — would reduce some drug prices by 1,500 percent [:LOL:], a piece of mathematical gymnastics that left some in his audience mystified.

The numeric magic continued on Monday, when Mr. Trump said he was using some of those tariff revenues as a “bridge payment,” to tide American farmers over Chinese until purchases resume, a commitment Mr. Trump says he extracted from President Xi Jinping when they met in late October.

Lol. Who's buying this bullshit? Tax the American middle class with tariffs and turn around and give it to farmers to grow crops (or not) that no one is buying. Where are all the "free market" Republicans who fought so hard to limit government interference in business and economic affairs? Oh yeah, they've been bought off.
 
This was supposed to be the most anti war presidency. They were anti neocon and war hawk. Yet now we seem to be going down Iraq/Afghanistan 2.0

Him and his supporters stand for nothing.
 
I follow Lew Rockwell, Zero Hedge, Legal AF, Daily Beast and other sites for contrarians and to shake out the reality.

I got into the bullion and numismatic business over 25 years ago. I don't have a lot now but if you're going to work hard all your life, you have to diversify and protect your assets. One site to keep up on silver coins: https://www.azcoinexchange.com/
 
Quit listening to AM radio.
It's especially bad in the NY area. I used to call in to Bob Grant, actually a stage name. Pretty much the same bs as the current administration. WOR and WABC, propaganda bs, used to be good stations but they've prostituted themselves to the hilt.

Just wait until the Epstein saga blows up fully. NYC and Miami were ground zero for these international criminals.
 
It appears the nut didn't fall far from the tree-
