Tucker made more money by getting fired at Fox than some CEOs get upon retirement. He currently owns TCN - TCN gets more views than all the mainstream media stations PUT TOGETHER.

I wish you people will use some of the logic you use elsewhere for some other news.

He has to look for money and content than when he was at Fox $20 m is a huge amount to make .
Anyway I don't know much about his new gigs, I'll do a double check and revert

When manufacturers started running to China, the govt of the day ignored it. Subsequent govt also ignored it.
Example of brand that is owned by America but has only office in America is iPhone. IPhone is made in China. Yet America take the glory. America made Chinese economy flourish while they are busy with wokeism.
Now, the chicken has come home.......
Trump is fighting for their survival and they are complaining.

Let your unions always have the upper hands.
20 yrs from now if nothing is done, baby to the number 1 world power. It won't e en reach 20 yrs with the speed China is operating and India is closely following.

Totally agree

Talks have not cured the issue. By the time you know Yemen will start saying they have made nuclear weapons if Iran is successful. We know their ambitious motive. Even Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations around that region know what's at stake. That's why they are seeking protection from the US and Israel.

If Iran makes the bomb why won't the Saudis want one?

People who wake up with the chant of destroying the US, Israel, and conquering nations around should not be allowed to own a bomb like that.

America's hands-off approach will only allow chaos. We saw it when Biden was around. Iran triggered Hezbollah and Hamas.

Israel really handled all the threats around. What about their proxies? They asked them to stop attacking the US after 3 soldiers were killed. Since then the proxies have stopped attacking US bases.

They are always looking for what they can get away with. They have boxed themselves now. By showing what they could do and how they could spread ballistic missiles to terrorist actors, they cannot be trusted with a bomb like that. That program must shut down

They should send a dud tomahawk through Khameneis bedroom window. That's the language bullies understand.
Why would he not? FBI last year reported Iran had smuggled an anti-aircraft missile to shoot down Trump plane.

A tomahawk would bring him to the table. Reagan bombed Gadaffi' s tent , his stance changed forever and he started cozying up to the west.

Omofaye99:
While the point you made seems valid. I believe Trump's aggressive approach is misguided and ultimately harms consumers. Americans way of life is different from other countries, the hurt is way worst compare to say Nigeria if we compare socioeconomic context of both. Instead, why not consider a quota tariff on imported goods? This would protect domestic production without leading to a broad price increase that resembles a trade war. It’s a more balanced way to support local industries while keeping options affordable for consumers.

My Opinion.

The American economy did not take off when MBAs took over and sent manufacturing abroad. They get very good returns for their business acumen.
Only problem. You are sending jobs to IP thieves,who have a different agenda than yours.Yours may be to uplift their economy ,theirs is dethrone you as the world's superpower by hook or crook.

What you call "man talk", I call pigs talking. And that's one reason I have no regard for you whatsoever. And I'm concerned what you might be teaching your boys.

It's not that the women let you. You just rape them!

Those things happen. Daily . Musk's 14th child. She befriended him with every intention of getting pregnant. You and I know that one can only get pregnant a few days before and after ovulation , so she had to time the rendezvous perfectly . You think if he grabbed her crotch early on she would've run off to judge Boasberg ?
Be reasonable.

Omofaye99:
You made a good point. I also agree that zero tariffs on every product is unrealistic. While tariffs can play a role in addressing trade imbalances, relying on them as the sole solution is misguided. Like you stated many companies have moved manufacturing to countries like Vietnam and Canada, instead of bringing jobs back to the US. Why is that?

I think the focus should be on finding solutions that address the underlying issues prompting companies to manufacture abroad, Instead of resorting to blanket tariffs, which can harm American consumers and businesses.

One of the biggest factors is unions and democrat policies especially on minimum wages. Don't know whether it passed ,gig workers were also on democrat radar in terns of wages and benefits .⁰

raumdeuter:
Even in the so called red states there are millions who vote for Democrats. There are professional protesters and will always protest since their candidate lost

All they need is organized mobilization, and the crowds will be there . Democrats have well funded grassroots non profits.

Basilico, this guy is bought and paid for by Qatar. This is the reason I dislike him. He is never America first. Always on the side of the folks who wants to bomb us.

Losing $ 20m job a year can disorient you. Unlike columnists who can get enough substack , Tucker won't be making as much as he was at Fix unless he has his own media company.
He has big audience on social media, but he who pays the piper calls the tune.
He is no different from social media influencers.Pay him to promote a narrative and he will do it.

GloriousGbola:
No I don't use raid. Not cost effective for me. I would have to have twice as many drives so I could do raid 1.

Right now I have 8 external data storage drives 8tb x 5,4tb x 3.so I would need double this and a really really large drive bay.

I did consider raid 0 once because it is supposed to double your file access speed, but that is what they call living dangerously.

Not sure how you recover from a disaster in such a situation

Actually it is very easy to block people from stealing data

Hard disk encryption and secure boot and block services like drop box

I have a microsoft account. I have set up the family in the same way Everyone in my family has their encryption keys automatically backed up to my account. So if I move a disk from one pc to another, all I need to do is log into my account to get the key.

I am currently doing same for our office. Setup a Microsoft company account so if I encrypt the drives I have access to the key.

On an enterprise level IT simply needs a policy or system for automatic backing up of the encryption keys

usb port blocking is either from os or from bios.
If it is from os, boot the pc using a live disk and you have the files. That is the goal of secure boot. Blocking this loophole with secure boot running you can't boot another os. Of course this means supervisor password that is backed up somewhere. Our it then had no real secure data policy beyond blocking usb at os level

Modern devices can block usb from bios. It is for IT to enforce.

A backup us only good if it works Believe you me I have so many different backups, on a weekend I restore them to VMs to make sure they will work . That's also the sane with encryption. You never know.
I'm saying this from experience.

As for RAID, I always ensure the OS disks are mirrored and both bootable . Frequent testing. That's for servers . I have Linux samba servers that I store backups too in the office. Storage is cheap nowadays.

benalvino3:
Does he know what raid is? He plugs a USB to one of his wireless network they shout he has NAS 😂🤣😂🤣😂

That's one or two hard drive partitioned. For him computer is for play.
Plays games from 2004 😂😂 and he wants me to assume his system is powerful.

Now I know why gloriousgbola was acting like he knows anything about nnpc and why he said they don't employ IT guys 😂

As for preventing users from copying data ,that's a hard one. One can use encryption but if the AD database gets corrupt, you sweat bullets.
Always tell staff , everything can be monitored and that's enough for nearly every employee. Locking down USB ports is so 2000. One can still open a document, copy and paste it elsewhere. It's a very tall order to prevent determined employee from siphoning data

IjeBos:
The detainees get due process.
You sound like you don't understand what that means.
More of a win for the Venezuelans than Trump no matter what your degenerate self thinks.

A wanna be immigrant against due process for immigrants.
A nutty world with nutty people.

Two rulings.
Judge had ordered the gang member be brought back by midnight yesterday. Trump appeal was thrown out but SCOTUS CJ stayed the order . A judge demanded with a timeline for the govt to negotiate with a foreign govt . To return a potential criminal back to US soil..

This guy had lost all appeals and finally claimed assylum. Judge only ordered he should not be sent to El Salvador because his life would be in danger

In the second ruling , SCOTUS by 5-4 ruling lifted the Restraining order of using the Invasion Act to deport The court also held that the president can use the Act , but the deportees would have a due process . But they are held in Texas, only a judge in Texas can listen to their pleadings. Not Boasberg in DC , court ruled basically he has no jurisdiction. I'll write more about him and his next step, which should be impeachement, disbarring. Plainly speaking a judge can sit on the runway and ask any Deportees under the act to show their visa as long as the govt can show he was a gang member so prescribed.

It's absurd that anyone can cross the border illegally but To deport him an immigration judge has to Okay it. Joe Biden let in over 5 million ( possibly 12) illegals cross. There are 700 immigration judges to oversee removal of millions . That's a joke. Was a deliberate effort by Biden handlers to ship in illegals. Kamala would have given them citizenship or whatever legal status she could confer including voting rights.
Conclusion. Democrats were importing voters.
America escaped a bullet.

i have no need of lying

that is my disk set up

it would be interesting to see what the fake coder has.

a guy who could not even turn off windows widgets

that is the first thing any serious pc user does - turn off the unnecessary crap. the first thing id do on every pc is turn that off. but then bemuruca the self-servicer does not even now how to reorient his taskbar

because he is a fking poser playing at being a power user

Quick one . You have a lot of storage, Have you set up a RAID partition especially on the OS partition.
I always have 2 mirrored disks on servers that are hot swappable and contain the OS

as a nigerian, it is very funny

people sign MOUs all the time. they do big ceremonies where they shake hands. none of this means anything until the facility is completed.

at every point people are doing feasibility studies to ensure that the facility will actually be profitable

i posted a link the other day about the only phone assembly factory ever built in the us. built by google/motorola. shuttered in one year

as a person who worked in corporate nigeria, i am very very familiar with all this fanfare.

in my old place, they were bragging about building a refinery as far back as 2007. to this day they have not done it - because the numbers dont add up.

you can get away with the above in china. even magats will not go for these working and living conditions

or is it bangladesh sweatshops with children?

You do realize Nigerians could also be manufacturing a lot of products , say even generic drugs but because we won't steal IP we are curtailed.

cococandy:
except we are actually forced to stick to Tesla as our first choice of EV because competition from other countries are not allowed in America. If Chinese EV were allowed here, Tesla would be out of business

can and does are not the same. Again putting the cart before the horse. Do you jump off the bridge without first making sure your landing pad is safely secure to catch your fall?

Isn’t it sensible to make sure you’ve position your landing pad first and then jump?

I fear that’s common sense.

You just can't have zero tariffs on every product. If the tariffs were fair noone would be cursing Trump for enacting tariffs.
Whether China agrees to remove all taxes, America can't do the same because most of the manufacturing is outside of America and in China specifically . When Trump 1.0 introduced tariffs to China ,a lot of their companies moved to Vietnam. Others set up shop in Canada and Mexico where they could manufacture in China,then assemble in Mexico and send them tarif free to your doorstep.
I don't know why you people are bitter when Trump is basically saying. We are their biggest market ,we need to be able to sell to them too.
China ,and I've posted a long story about them. Won't allow you to operate without local partners . Difference.Once they know how your product is made they open a competitor across the street and compete with you .They will change the brand name so slightly ,a lot of buyers won't know . For instance, Samsung competitor becomes Sansung with exactly the same outward appearance. IOW they don't respect IP,they sort of encourage it

This is what Trump is battling. I want a bully who will stand up to China first.
China is the second largest economy yet WTO ranks it as a developing economy, under GATT they attract lower tariffs .

cococandy:
Why would this administration not first ensure that manufacturing is up and running before placing heavy tariffs if he truly means to bring manufacturing back to America? Isn’t that senselessly placing the cart before the horse?

Tariffs are a leverage Every other country is rushing to DC to negotiate. True you can't force nations to buy Teslas or other products, there are commodities that every nation produces and had to protect.
America can literally produce anything , most @ higher cost but quality is guaranteed.
If I need to buy anything American made I go for quality.
Whatever we get from Chinese for Africa market is just meant to work as bought new, most don't live up to their reputation. Chinese products for Europe and America market is good quality mainly because they are stringent on standards.
If America blocked Chinese imports , Africa will get high quality products. Cheap is expensive .

As long as there is demand,it will only take suppliers a short while to meet it.

I read some one comment about Obama and it got me thinking.
No ex president of America has involved himself in present administrations like Obama. He can come and contest for 3rd term since he don't want to leave the stage if that is possible.

As usual you don't get the man talk. If you are rich , they can let you grab them by the pussy. He never said he grabs them He meant some women no matter their status can do anything for men just because he is rich and successful

3 Panel Appeals court Upheld Judge's decision forcing Trump to return the person deported to El Salvador(Garcia) by midnight.

This is some shameless stuff from any US administration.

Anyway the SCOTUS overruled the activist Appeals court by 5-4. They followed the law. The other court was just judicial activism.

I don’t know why you bother.I don’t take seriously anything you share from right wing propaganda hub.

I have my eyes and I saw millions of Americans in the streets protesting against him. It doesn’t matter whether they were bussed or flown or ferried to the locations, the fact is that they wanted to be there and they made it happen. That’s a testament to the feeling in their hearts about him. What’s difficult to understand about that?

The people you guys get your “facts” from said George soros paid 5 million people $100 million dollars each to protest against Trump and Trump shared it on his social media. That’s more money than what’s available in the whole world. A Simple Google search puts the estimate to be around 80-123 trillion dollars available in the whole world. Maybe he didn’t realize how much money that actually is. Maybe he’ll delete it when someone points it out to him (if he hasn’t already). But it’s sad that is how he gets his “reliable” information and you guys parrot what he says.

If George soros has 500 trillion to pay 5 million people, then he must be God or something to magically make such amount of money appear out of thin air. Even Elon who is currently the richest doesn’t have a trillion dollars. Is this making sense?

If I were you, I’d sit with that information and wonder if those are the kinds of people who I’d want to be listening to. The devil is in the details.

Please I don’t enjoy being harsh to you. Sometimes after I’ve been harsh, I kinda regret it because I don’t know what kind of reality you’re operating from where you easily believe such things and it makes me think you’re extremely impressionable hence I regret the harshness.

But I’d like it if you evaluate the information you absorb a bit more critically. You guys tend to believe the most ludicrous things and it’s hard to respond to that in a way that doesn’t leave you feeling slighted.

Dems have a well oiled machinery. Thousands of non profits that mobilize.
Obama had his own . Organizing for Action.

Half the country didn't vote for Trump. everyone knows that
The other half has no time for Street protests sponsored or organized by people whose goats are being eaten by Trump.

I saw some data I hadn't thought about
China exported $600B more than it imported.
America imported $1.2T more than it imported.

Wow that's huge.
Trump is in it for the long haul.
At the end obviously you can't have zero tariffs and there has to be some protective taxes or limits to quantity of products that can be imported.
For example. Are Vietnamese going to buy higher end American products ,yet they have Nike factories that export to America.

@LauraLoomer
🚨 HAPPENING TODAY 🚨

An Anti-Trump protest in Washington, D.C., organized by the 50501 Movement, is busing protesters into the city on what they call “high end busses”. According to the protest’s website, alcohol is permitted on board the buses.

The protest is called “The People’s Veto: Hands Off!”

The purpose is to protest
@elonmusk
and
@realDonaldTrump
, and the invite openly calls for the protesters, who organizers are trying to GET DRUNK on the busses, to TAKE TO THE STREETS.

Organizers are using the ride share all RALLY to get these protesters to the Washington Monument today.

Proof the radical left is BUSSING IN PROTESTERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TO CAUSE CHAOS IN WASHINGTON DC.

As I exclusively reported back in February, the 50501 movement traces back to the Democrat’s fundraising platform ACT BLUE, as well as a group called the “political revolution”, which was born out of the
@BernieSanders
campaign.

@LoomerUnleashed
is on the ground in Washington DC today to cover these Bussed in protesters.

Go through the extensive link . Else you will continue wallowing in ignorance and misguided notions.
