ROD D. MARTIN: President Trump just militarized the “Roosevelt Reservation” along the US border in CA, AZ, and NM

Hard to know what this means, but any institution can repurpose any event, any installation, any monument.

BRETT PIKE: The [1934 American Historical Association] report was used to pivot away from prioritizing traditional American values be taught in school. Instead, promoting collectivism over individualism, and globalism over nationalism.

American Historical Association, 1934.  

How long has the American education system been dumbing us down? Well in 1934 the American Historical Association released a report funded by the Carnegie Corporation.… The report was used to pivot away from prioritizing traditional American values be taught in school. Instead, promoting collectivism over individualism, and globalism over nationalism. There is a reason 3.7 million people are homeschooling.

LUKE DAVID JOHNSON: [Trump's tariffs] are meant to protect American industry. They are meant to protect Americans from their corporations, who will sell them out for a profit

Buy direct from China. 

Chinese producers are all over social media right now, and they are exposing just who is targeted by Trump's tariffs.  And it's not the American consumers and it's not the Chinese producers.  It's actually our international corporations who have sold out American prosperity for their own profits.  Let me illustrate.  Let's use this example of Nike.  Now these are fictitious  numbers just for example.  But let's say that Nike buys shoes from this company that manufactures Nike shoes for $10 a Nike shoe, which isn't very far off.  Nike turns around and sells that shoe at retail for $100.  Here's the interesting part about tariffs.  You're not paying tariffs on the retail price.  This is not a tax in a classic sense.  The way the economists, who are bought and paid for, are trying to conflate it as it as a tax on the import.  This means with a 25% tariff, Nike is going to have to pay $2.50 to the US government every time it imports a Nike shoe at $10.  This $2.50 gets remitted to the American government and to American citizens.  Now Nike's cost is $10 for the shoe $2.50 for the import tax.  This means they are netting $87 per shoe.  Now that's net, not profit.  There are going to be other costs they're going to have to come from that.  But you can see that the increase in cost is $2.50.  So let's say that Nike passes the entire cost on to the consumer, even a little more just because of the fear of tariffs, $103 per shoe now.  That is the impact of a 25% tariff.  So what the Chinese producers on TikTok are saying, "Instead of the American consumer buying it for $103, or let's just say that the company, Nike eats all $2.50 of the tariff and still sells it for $100, you're way better off over here, paying directly to China, including the tariff, $12.50 a shoe plus shipping."

So as you can see, the tariffs are not meant to hurt consumers.  They're not meant to hurt China; they don't really affect China at all.  They are meant to protect American industry.  They are meant to protect Americans from their corporations, who will sell them out for a profit.  So if you look hard, you'll notice that the people who are screaming about how bad tariffs are for consumers, it's these companies right here.  It's Wall Street.  It's all the investors in these companies because they don't want American citizens to realize that these companies have sold them out and that they're not doing Americans any favors.
