nateevs called Africa 3rd world, I will by your logic say he has been drinking from the trough of racist and forgot himself right?

Back to political correctness.

Like clockwork. The funny thing is he news the worst Republican president last time he was in office. Now he beat his own record at being the worst. Worst president in a century.

This poll was skewed.

“When President Trump received 50 percent of the popular vote, but The New York Times includes only 37 percent of his voters in their poll and ABC/Washington Post has only 34 percent Trump supporters, it seems that they deliberately biased their polls against President Trump,”


Poll makes no sense Timed for release in 100 days.
Should have been how many Kamala voters has Trump win over in 100 days
4-7% have switched .
* Trump says they should be investigated Pam Bondi will not .

cococandy:
Basil invest in a mirror pls

This is verbatim description of Republicans

Wrong. Why liberals switched to Bluesky. Why they moving out of America. It's because they don't want to hear anything they don't believe in . Liberals are the ones who demand safe spaces in universities of all other places

raumdeuter:
How do you know Americans voted against their interest?

Anyone who does not share their points of view is wrong. The same who see no evil talk no evil hear no evil re democrats. Who live in the lala land only hearing what they want to hear
The same ones who are happy they won't see ever see any post you make once they block you here.

Canada , paper ballots , no electronic scanners, results out same day.
Big brother down south ,many results delay for weeks despite having the most advanced economy.

WEF globalist wins election after liberals imported millions of voters.
Says Friendship with America is OVER.

Trump didn't care if liberals won.
https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-says-he-doesnt-care-if-liberals-beat-conservatives-canada-2025-03-19/

Now they have won . The USMCA is dead by his words but is still binding. Canada $600 B exports to America are huge , whether Carney likes it or not , he has to negotiate with Trump.
Actually Trump had said he'd rather deal with liberals than conservatives.

While they are happy they sent a message to Trump, the government will still need to send it's proposals to Trump. Who will look at it , reject what he don't like or simply send them his proposals with a take it or leave it.
Trunp holds the Ace card.
I'm reliably informed Trump rhetoric about the 51st state came up because Canada had begged him not to crash their economy via tariffs and blocking transshipments of Chinese merchandise.
I am not a ware of how much damage the liberals have wrought to Canada with outsourcing to Asia, curtailing big oil and enacting suffocating environmental and climate change policies to their industries.

First, UK nor hardly any country would dump their US bonds, and if they do, buyers would be found on the open market at a price that would make the yield seem good. Just think. If UK dumps at say 70% of face value, the yield earned would seem more. There's even scalpers who'd be glad to buy it just as they bought Argentina's debt for cents on the dollar when they went bankrupt. 2.1% on a coupon bought for 20 cents is like 100% interest a month.

If USA can't pay the interest on its loans and your default scenario were to occur, USA would just need to pay higher interest to sell bonds to finance their budget, and there's always buyers at a price (of say 20-30% or above, I exaggerate). The consequences would of course bankrupt America and Americans, who would be caught in the crossfire of high interest payments and currency devaluation and deflation, not just in food and services as is current, but in assets (bonds, stock, property etc), too. But that's the price of owing debt you can't pay.

You are implying debt is a carefully constructed scheme to earn select few billions. If so, i also largely agree.
Most of the G8 countries have over 70% of their debt domestic. America with it's gazillion debt the 35% foreign debt component is more than some G8 countries GDP.
Democrats are the ones who drive debt higher by having more social spending , paying off student loans for useless degree courses eg from Trump university. Medicare for everyone including illegals and MS13 gang members . Ploy to win vote and virtue signalling, net effect is to drive up debt to the stratosphere.
Now that Trump is pushing back,the democrats are apoplectic the golden goose won't be laying eggs forever
Better the US economy crash under Trump as soon as yesterday.

nateevs:
A bargain? This is a misinterpretation of how bonds work sir. You have completely missed out the fundamentals of risk and default.

In June 2025, the US has to refinance about $8Trn worth of Treasuries. Those bills were issued in about 2015 with a coupon date of about 2.1% if i am right. Then it would cost the Treasury $170bn a year.

At the current 4.25% yield rate, it will cost $340bn to finance the same debt.

So if the UK were to dump $700bn of US bonds and yields went up to say, I don't know.... your median figure of 8% now; this means the US has to refinance same debt in June 2025, at a stagerring coupon rate of $650bn per year!!!!

To put things in perspective, this is more than the annual budget of the Navy, Army, Airforce and Marines combined. This will means that effectively, the US is bankrupt.

The secondary effects of crash of the US dollar, the Fed having to raise interest rates to 8% will make sure that GDP goes to sleep forever.

And this is why Nobody, I mean Nobody, will touch it.

In other words, you would want Trump to fail in reining on interest rates and public debt.
I doubt he will.

Canada give themselves better brain.

Canada has 23% of it's population from immigrants.
America is headed there. As long as the Liberals in Canada import more immigrants they will always have an edge in the elections.
Till the day a certain class of the immigrants become the Praetorian guard that brought down Rome.

Yes it is in the interest of globalists, who watch in glee as that debt rises and guarantees a future payout.

They will reap their benefit when USA can no more afford the interest on the debt (not to talk of the principal), and the currency devalues and the interest rockets moonwise a la Argentina.

Think what China might have planned the last 25 years and you might see spending more than earned is not sustainable.

That in a nutshell explains why the rest of the world hates Trump. He can see how the globalists are circling like vultures and wants to reverse that .
Paradoxically they don't care if America goes down at the expense of China.
My position is very clear with the Chinese. They should not accede to superpower status neither should they replace America at the helm. I'd rather have America and Europe , they pride themselves in following the law, though EU is a legal dictatorship that is clutching on the straws desperately trying to break any nationalist rising within it's block.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encounter data for the last six months (October 2024–March 2025) along the southwest border, based on available information from CBP and related sources, is as follows. The data includes U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) apprehensions between ports of entry and Office of Field Operations (OFO) inadmissible encounters at ports of entry. Note that exact figures for some months may be incomplete or preliminary, and numbers reflect Title 8 apprehensions and inadmissibles, with Title 42 expulsions no longer applicable after May 2023.

October 2024:
USBP: ~56,000 encounters (approximate, based on CBP’s reported trend of low encounters post-June 2024 Proclamation).

OFO: ~3,500 inadmissible encounters (estimated from February 2025’s 3,362, given a slight increase in early FY2025).

Total: ~59,500 encounters (approximate).

November 2024:
USBP: ~50,000 encounters (estimated, reflecting a continued decline from October, aligned with CBP’s reported 60% decrease from May to December 2024).

OFO: ~3,400 inadmissible encounters (estimated, consistent with low OFO numbers in early 2025).

Total: ~53,400 encounters (approximate).

December 2024:
USBP: ~40,000 encounters (estimated, based on CBP’s note of November and December being the lowest since August 2020).

OFO: ~3,300 inadmissible encounters (estimated, slightly below November’s trend).

Total: ~43,300 encounters (approximate).

January 2025:
USBP: 29,101 encounters (reported by CBP).

OFO: 32,346 inadmissible encounters (reported by CBP, reflecting a higher OFO figure before a sharp drop in February).

Total: 61,447 encounters.

February 2025:
USBP: 8,347 encounters (reported by CBP).

OFO: 3,362 inadmissible encounters (reported by CBP).

Total: 11,709 encounters.

March 2025:
USBP: 7,181 encounters (reported by CBP).

OFO: ~673 daily average, equating to ~20,790 encounters (based on 31 days, reported by CBP).

Total: ~27,971 encounters.

Notes:
Data Sources: Exact figures for January, February, and March 2025 come from CBP’s monthly updates. October to December 2024 figures are estimated based on CBP’s reported trends of significant declines (e.g., 55% decrease in encounters between ports of entry from June to November 2024) and fiscal year summaries.

Context: The sharp decline in encounters from October 2024 to March 2025 reflects enhanced enforcement measures, including the June 2024 Presidential Proclamation and increased patrols with Department of Defense support.

Limitations: Estimates for October–December 2024 are approximate due to incomplete monthly breakdowns in available data. Totals may not reflect unique individuals, as recidivism (repeat encounters) can inflate numbers.

Verification: Official CBP data is subject to revisions, and final statistics are typically confirmed at the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2025).

For the most precise and updated figures, check CBP’s Stats and Summaries webpage or the Southwest Land Border Encounters dashboard.

What's the data collection method?

CBP encounters are recorded ,notarized, serialized , webalized , journalized etc.

Now you are engaging facts. I don't mind people being on the other side of the debate, as long as you engage facts. Good question, who will buy $800bn worth of bonds if the UK dumps it? Nobody!!! And this is why I said in my response "for argument sake"

I am not advocating for the UK to do this. There would be huge economic repercussions of we were to try. But Dayo is saying that we could if we wanted to. And that's just nonsense talk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But let's say Trump wants to strong-arm the UK, Japan, and Luxembourg (notice I keep excluding China from this discussion) into a devaluation of the dollar, that is essentially a default. Meaning, sorry your $800bn is now worth less than it was, and your annual $36bn is now worth less than it was.

Apart from what the US will do itself by even going near this topic (yields going up), I don't expect Kier Starmer to sit back and take it. He needs to fight back, and use every tool at his disposal, including threatening to dump it all, even if it means the UK will suffer for it. Because,

1. Eroded trust...... You cannot trust Trump and his cronies (or another Trump in the future) to not want to devalue further.
2. We don't want to end up like Japan after the Plaza accord with a massively devalued Pound, and a lost decade of growth.
3. Why should we accept a default at all?

So yes, threaten to dump it, even if to spite Trump. If you want rational dialogue, then ask nicely, like Regan did at the time.


In the larger debate, there's far more to consider about the consequence of such, and what the likes of Japan and China will do, if the UK were to get the balls to want to dump all. It signifies to everyone that US bonds are now worth phuck all, and that's the end of US borrowing. Do you understand what it means if the US can no longer sell its bonds to anyone?

But you guys think this is inconsequential analysis, and even worse, that 77.3m ** thought this completely through in their support for Trump even before voting. That's abject fallacy!

Manipulated figures since they can't match even Obamas deportation numbers

How do you count illegals at the border if they are illegals. So the border force will be counting them instead of arresting them? This has always been a number where you write whatever you want based on estimates

Over 6000 were crossing every day Today it's less than 200.It didn't require a bipartisan bill as Joe Biden claimed.
Whatever you do with that information is upto you.

Well put. I'll respond later.
It is in the interest of globalists that the US govt debts keep growing for the next decade or so for their own benefit not mine

Nateevs2:
You are the one who keeps coming back with the 78m talk. You want to inject a huge number to the discourse to bolster your position. If 78m voted, surely they are all not dumb. This is your pattern of thinking. A huge percentage of those 78m are conservatives. Mostly conservatives vote on ideology, not on facts. So yes, 78m people could be largely wrong on many issues. But I digress, as that's not the centre of this debate.


My problem was with you. You particularly. You casually said any country can choose leave the dollar as reserve currency. You said that with the lack of knowledge that the strength of the dollar is underpinned by the number of countries that buy US bonds. This is the same currency you hold a huge portfolio in. A few weeks ago, you were spelling PROSPERITY in caps. But it is now apparent, that you don't understanding what makes this prosperity even possible.

You called countries that sustain US borrowing, which in turn keeps your internal interest rates steady "inconsequential" ..... but you invest in property. This means you don't understand that if (for argument sake), the UK, Luxembourg and Japan were to dump all their US dollar debts (as you proposed), your interest rates are immediately affected, which immediately bumps up the cost of credit in the US, which immediately affects you.

So the question is, is the UK really inconsequential as you claimed... or are you just regurgitating the nonsense you heard at the Trump rallies? Did you know that the actions of the so-called inconsequential can have a direct impact on inflation and interest rates in the US? No you didn't. Because if you did, you will shut your MAGA brain down and engage FACTS!


On the other hand, if my country were to be forced by the US into a situation where they had to dump US debt, that affects me personally as a business man. So you have little understanding of what your talk about, when you tell me that I have no interests in following and commenting passionately about the issues.

I haven't even mentioned the effects on Oil, Gas, or geo-political concerns.


The summary of this is that only an uninformed voter will come to the conclusion that some countries are inconsequential to the US, when said countries are directly responsible for the strength of the dollar that builds your wealth. Only an uninformed voter.

Why would UK dump the debt, was my question. It doesn't have good returns or to punish Trump?
If it's about bad returns who will buy a massive $800B of debt knowing the dollar will crash any time.
In other words ,you hold America debt. You are stuck with it, you not selling it to noone.
The UK earns around 4.42% yield from the 10 year US Treasury Bonds . That works out to $36B annually.
The UK will just dump this golden goose to spite Trump.

Netherlands sperm donor conundrum

Over a year ago, the Netherlands reported numerous sperm mega-donors within the country, leading to fears of accidental incest. The number of these mega-donors seems to keep growing, with the Dutch Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (NVOG) now admitting at least 85 men have fathered 25 or more children. The most infamous Dutch sperm mega-donor is Jonathan Meijer, who is believed to have over 1,000 children and was the subject of a Netflix documentary last year.

The brutal animal who was freed by a very "compassionate" judge.

Bondi Vows to Prosecute Judges Who Obstruct Trump Admin’s Deportation Efforts

She emphasized that these judges would face prosecution for their involvement.
Pam Bondi explained that the defendant, who was in court facing charges for domestic violence, had been involved in a violent attack on two individuals, as Breitbart News reported.

The victims were severely beaten—one man was hit 30 times, choked, and knocked to the ground, while the woman sustained severe injuries, requiring hospitalization.
Despite the brutality of the crimes, the victims were willing to cooperate with the state prosecutor, and they were present in the courtroom during the proceedings.

However, the case took a disturbing turn when the judge learned that ICE officers were outside the courthouse, waiting to detain the defendant, who had been deported in 2013 and returned illegally.

Upon hearing this, Judge Dugan allegedly left the courtroom, went into the hallway, and confronted the immigration officers, visibly upset.

She then instructed them to leave and meet with the chief judge, returning to the courtroom afterward....judge took the defendant and his defense attorney aside, using a private exit to allow them to leave, effectively allowing the criminal to evade ICE arrest, leaving the victims and the prosecutor behind.

Someone spin this and blame Drumph .
