Foreign Affairs › Musk Calls Trump's Adviser ‘slowpoke’ After ‘demonstrably False’ Claims About Tesla by blamingthedevil(op): 4:26pm On Apr 08, 2025
Tech billionaire Elon Musk slammed President Trump’s trade Peter Navarro on Tuesday, calling him “truly a slowpoke” in their latest spat over the administration’s new import taxes.

“Navarro is truly a slowpoke. What he says here is demonstrably false,” Musk wrote on X in response to a video of Navarro discussing Tesla’s assembly process for its electric vehicles.

Navarro, in the CNBC interview, claimed Musk’s Tesla is not a “car manufacturer,” but rather a “car assembler,” that puts together parts from other countries.

Tesla, led by Musk, has long touted itself as a leader in U.S. domestic production. The company produces all of its North American vehicles in the U.S. at factories in California and Texas, though some of its parts do not come from the U.S.

Musk pushed back on Navarro’s claims, stating Tesla “has the most American-made cars.”

“Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks,” he added, writing later, “By any definition whatsoever, Tesla is the most vertically integrated auto manufacturer in America with the highest percentage of US content. Navarro should ask the fake expert he invented, Ron Vara.”

Foreign Affairs › White House Appears To Back Down On Tariffs by blamingthedevil(op): 11:42am On Apr 08, 2025
Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro wrote an article in the Financial Times on tariffs insisting “this is not a negotiation” at 1:45 p.m. yesterday — exactly half an hour before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced formal negotiations with Japan.

The White House later deleted a post on X endorsing Navaaro’s op-ed.

Foreign Affairs › Epically Stupid: You Can’t Grow Coffee Anywhere in US by blamingthedevil(op):
John Ellis: “You can’t grow coffee in any of the United States of America except Hawaii. And you can’t begin to grow enough coffee in Hawaii to meet even a small part of America’s daily demand. So you have import it from all around the world (Africa, South America, Central America, Asia).”

“Right now, a cup of coffee or a can of coffee at the supermarket or a 5-pound bag… costs X. This week it will cost X plus 10%. At least. If the coffee comes from certain countries, it will cost X plus a lot more.”

“Politically speaking, what the White House has managed to create here is a daily reminder to every single coffee drinker in the United States of America that their cost of living has increased. Every day they will get this little memo…

“In the annals of political stupidity go, there are ‘own goals’ and there are ‘own goals’. This one is epic.”

Elon Musk appears to break with Trump admin on tariffs — as he slams Peter Navarro and says he wants ‘zero tariff situation’ with Europe
Elon Musk appeared to split from the Trump administration on tariffs overnight — as he lashed out at trade adviser Peter Navarro and said he hoped for a “zero tariff situation” between the US and Europe.

The world’s richest man made the comments after President Trump announced sweeping tariffs against virtually every US trading partner last week.

The resulting stock market crash saw $11 billion wiped off his net worth.

The Tesla and SpaceX guru made very public swipes Saturday against Navarro, who is widely seen as one of the top architects of Trump’s tariff regime.

“A PhD in Econ from Harvard is a bad thing, not a good thing. Results in the ego/brains>>1 problem,” Musk vented on X Saturday in response to a user touting the trade adviser’s explanations of tariffs.

Another user chimed in, saying that Navarro was “correct” in his assessment of tariffs, prompting Musk to retort, “He ain’t built sh—.”

Family › Re: Woman Ends Marriage After $11k Nose Surgery by blamingthedevil: 4:22pm On Apr 04, 2025
Namaster:
For men, marriage is POINTLESS!

In marriage, EVERY woman thinks they SETTLED for their husband.

It does NOT matter how rich, handsome or high status the husband is; there is ALWAYS a nagging feeling inside them that they settled for LESS. And that they could do better.

Men are not helping, either.
They AGGRAVATE this feeling by worshipping their wives like they are Jesus Christ with a pussy.

Here's a man who looked beyond the SUPERFICIAL and married a woman with a nose that could breathe for an ENTIRE community.

Yet he got DUMPED the moment she had a cosmetic surgery.

She even went further to DRAG him in the mud by calling her marriage "MISERABLE".

Meanwhile, the man either contributed to the surgery DIRECTLY or indirectly by footing a BULK of the household bills so she could save up for the surgery.

His thanks?
To be DUMPED and RIDICULED in public.

ALL men must realise this:

The WORST thing you can do for a woman you are in a relationship with is to CONTRIBUTE to her growth and development.

Doing that is like renovating a house just to be KICKED OUT of it the moment the renovation is complete.

NEVER upgrade any woman!

You can CHEER for her if she's upgrading herself.
But DON'T do it for her.

MadamExcellency:
Canada has a population of around 40 million people. However, its economy is smaller than that of five individual U.S. states, which suggests a degree of economic dependence or influence from the United States. This situation indicates that Canada operates within a framework that limits its economic autonomy.
Five US States depend on Canada for electricity including almighty NY. United States Imports from Canada of Iron and steel was US$7.69 Billion during 2024, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade.
Politics › Kogi Central Constituents Vow To Proceed With Petition To Recall Senator Natasha by blamingthedevil(op): 10:41pm On Apr 03, 2025
Constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District have thanked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for validating 208,132 (43.86%) of the signatures submitted in their petition for the recall of the suspended lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents the District in the National Assembly.

While the constituents noted that they had mobilised more than the required 50% plus one threshold of registered voters and submitted their petition with full documentation, they believe that the validation of 43.86% of signatures by INEC is a clear indication that the people of Kogi Central have rejected the embattled senator.

“Apparently, INEC canceled not less than 35,000 signatures at the administrative stage,” the constituents said while reacting to a statement on the recall process issued by the electoral umpire.

The constituents expressed their unwavering resolve to move forward with the recall process and bring the Senator home in a statement issued Thursday and signed by Salihu Habib on behalf of the petitioners.

“We will liaise with INEC within the full ambits of the Constitution and regulations to demand for transparency in the handling of our petition. We have utmost confidence in the Commission not to subject the recall process to ambiguity or administrative opacity,” the constituents said.

The constituents expressed their unwavering resolve to move forward with the recall process and bring the Senator home in a statement issued Thursday and signed by Salihu Habib on behalf of the petitioners.

Business › Re: America Automaker Lays Off 900 After Trump Tariffs by blamingthedevil(op): 10:08pm On Apr 03, 2025
Stellantis has “paused production” at some of its Canadian and Mexican auto assembly plants due to the newly announced tariffs — and as a result, some US workers will also be temporarily laid off.

Among those to be laid off are 900 US hourly employees who make powertrains and stampings that supply the affected Canadian and Mexican plants, Stellantis said Thursday. The temporary layoffs are due to reduced production prompted by the tariffs.

The affected US employees work at five different Midwest plants: the Warren Stamping and Sterling Stamping plants in Michigan, as well as the Indiana Transmission Plant, Kokomo Transmission Plant and Kokomo Casting Plant, all in Kokomo, Indiana.

“Stellantis said on Thursday it was temporarily laying off 900 workers at five U.S. facilities after President Donald Trump’s tariffs were announced, and temporarily pausing production at an assembly plant in Mexico and one in Canada,” Reuters reports.

“The maker of Ram trucks and Jeeps said the U.S. plants affected are powertrain and stamping facilities that provide parts for the two factories in Mexico and Canada that are being idled.”

Ignorance speaking. If a cup of tomatoes is $10 in the US and an Asian cup of tomatoes is $6. When 100% tariffs are implemented, the Asian tomatoes will cost $12.

Why do you think used imported cars to Nigeria cost more despite being sold in the US and other countries for a little above $1k or less depending on the make and specs? Because of the tariffs placed on those goods.

President Trump, as part of his expansive package of new tariffs, levied taxes on a number of uninhabited or sparsely populated islands that have little-to-no exports.

The announcement of new tariffs on Wednesday will hit nearly all foreign countries with a baseline tax at 10 percent. The administration also announced higher tariffs on others, ballooning up to 54 percent.

Manufacturing is no longer a competitive advantage for America. The U.S. simply can't compete in this sector anymore and should instead focus on maintaining its edge in services. Even with a 100% tariff imposed by Trump, goods manufactured in Asia would still be cheaper than those produced in the U.S. Curious to know why?
