You don't bring it back in hours, it takes time, these are examples of companies that have annouced their intentions to bring back

Abbott Laboratories
Illinois-based medical device company Abbott Laboratories said in a statement Wednesday that a $500 million investment in manufacturing, research and development capabilities at plants in Illinois and Texas will "go live" by the end of the year. To support the expansion, Abbott plans to hire up to 300 workers across both states.

Apple
Apple in February said that it's committed to spending more than $500 billion on expanding its U.S. manufacturing capabilities over four years.

TSMC
Taiwanese semiconductor maker TSMC in March announced a $165 billion total investment in U.S. manufacturing capabilities. The investment augments an existing $65 billion investment in semiconductor manufacturing operations in Phoenix by $100 billion.

Roche
Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche in April said it's committing $50 billion to growing its U.S. operations.

The funds will go toward building new research and development sites, and expanding existing manufacturing facilities in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and California, the company said on April 21.

Nvidia
Last week, American chip maker Nvidia announced that for this first time in the company's history, it will be manufacturing chips and AI supercomputers in the U.S.

Merck
Drugmaker Merck is investing $1 billion to build a U.S. plant in Delaware. The move comes amid plans by President Trump to impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals, which would include taxes on imported ingredients used drug manufacturing.

IBM
IBM on April 28 pledged to invest $150 billion in U.S. manufacturing over five years. At least $30 million will go toward research and development to further U.S.-based computer manufacturing, the computing giant said

Honda Motor
Honda Motor this week said it is moving production of its Civic Hybrid Hatchback from Japan to the U.S., in the face of a barrage of tariffs by the Trump administration, including a 25% tariff on vehicles and auto parts imported into the U.S.


Hyundai Motor Company
Hyundai in March announced a $21 billion commitment to investing in domestic manufacturing from 2025 to 2028.
As part of that commitment, the company has pledged to put $9 billion toward expanding domestic automobile production to 1.2 million vehicles a year, it said.

Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson is planning to invest more than $55 billion in new U.S. manufacturing facilities over four years. The investment represents a 25% increase compared with the previous four years, the health care company said in March.

Good ole RAYCISM. What else?

Well now I guess using taxpayer funds to house immigrants isn’t such a bad thing after all.

I wonder if they will be subject to paying hundreds of billions in taxes while being ineligible for social security, food stamps & housing assistance etc like other immigrants have been subjected to. All while being smeared by the right as a drain on the society.

What a crock of BS
Is it not delusional for you to think that "Whites" will let go a nation and civilization they built.

Rev Sean Rowe’s statement on the white afrikaners migration policy.

@bold, same thing happened to black folks who joined the war to fight for America after having been enslaved by same country. After their military service, they were discarded. Denied of benefits that white solders were entitled to. Today the descendants of the white soldiers who got a step up in life are obviously doing better than the descendants of their black colleagues. Kids of the black soldiers had to start afresh. They didn’t have parents who had their own retirement plans, houses they could pass on to them, education funds etc. that’s the systemic racism we talk about in America. It’s an inherently racist country & talking about it doesn’t make one a victim. It shines a light on a problem that can only start to be solved by acknowledgment in the first place.
Leave the "white and racist" country na.
Why your own ancestors no build a country and a civilization that you don't have leave to go to the "white and racist" country and complain about.

ABC news reported that consumer prices rose 2.3% in April.
Official statement was that inflation for April 2025 fell to its lowest since March 2021 to 2.3% below the projected 2.4%.

Same thing ,one has a negative connotation tailored for liberal democrat to continue believing this is the worst economy ever.

CNN meanwhile had a catchy headline.

You think white South Africans have more rights to be in America because of their whiteness even though they actually have contributed nothing to the country except having white skin. versus native Americans who actually own the land and black people who literally built it on their backs?

A lot of people calling Trump dictator and fascist. What's funny is that 99% of them can't live in countries being ruled by actual dictators. Cococandy for instance, unless she change her ways, she can't survive 5 months in Saudi or China. Throw all these politicians and celebrities into countries with actual dictators and fascists so that they will know what being a dictator actually means. We all know what happened to Jack Ma when he criticized his dictator president.

That’s when everything changed.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with the president, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took the mic and pulled back the curtain on one of the most corrupt open secrets in Washington.

This was a complete and utter indictment of the corruption in Washington.

“This is an extraordinary day,” Kennedy began.

“This is an issue that, you know, I grew up in the Democratic Party, and every major Democratic leader for 20 years has been making this promise to the American people.”

He pointed directly to Bernie Sanders—the man who made drug pricing the centerpiece of his presidential runs.

“This was the fulcrum of Bernie Sanders runs for presidency, that he was going to eliminate this discrepancy between Europe and the United States.”

But Kennedy revealed the truth: none of them ever meant to fix it.

“As it turns out, none of them were doing it. And it’s one of these promises that politicians make to their constituents, knowing that they’ll never have to do it.”

Why? Because the game is rigged.

“There’s at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every congressman, every Senator on Capitol Hill, and every member of the Supreme Court.”

Then came the line that shocked the room.

“There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump,” Kennedy said.

“And I’m very, very proud of you, Mr. President, for your courage, for I’ll say it because I don’t want to be crude, your intestinal fortitude, your stiff spine and your willingness to stand up for the American people.”

In one sentence, RFK Jr. dismantled the bipartisan lie—and gave Trump the credit no other Democrat would dare say out loud.

Every journey begins with a single step.
Qatar has ordered $200 B of Boeing planes. They have failed to deliver 2 Air force Ones despite having been paid $3.9B in 2018 or so but have promised to do it by 2035.

With Qatar order they might be forced to quickly open up factories,I doubt Trump will be willing to let to them import every part from China.

Everyone is free to come back to Africa and develop it . Most people went to America to get an education in order to help develop their motherland ,they remain there and call Africans backwards while pouring vitriol on the white people.

The Hill forever critical of Trump has an article pointing out he was right all along on Ukraine. Namely that Biden and Zelensky bear greatest responsibility on Russia invasion.
Very informative.

https://thehill.com/opinion/5198022-ukraine-conflict-disinformation/

Article asserts
1. Ukraine right wing extremists started the 2014 violence (a) They were the maidan snipers who then with western propaganda , USAID, Victoria Nuland &Co claimed police were the shooters leading to overthrow of Yanukovich and
(b)
Buried trial verdict confirmed false-flag Maidan massacre in Ukraine

2. Zelensky failed to implement Minsk agreements ( was designed to buy time) and started arming Ukraine massively.

3. Joe Biden pledged to assist him instead of deescalating the hostilities

All against her family’s wish.

As a woman, I’m supposed to support such a cruel act because I bought into the propaganda of the conservatives caring about women?

Mind you the family is going to be responsible for this bill. The fetus most like won’t survive as it has hydrocephalus (fluid in its brain).

And most importantly if the fetus if it makes it to baby stage will be abandoned as soon as it’s delivered because any social program that could help them succeed in life is automatically labeled as a handout there’s it’s bad.

The party of callous cruelty strikes again
An Atlanta woman has been kept on life support for over three months, despite being declared brain dead, due to strict abortion laws in the state of Georgia. Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse and mother, was nine weeks pregnant when she suffered severe headaches in February and visited a hospital for help. According to her mother, April Newkirk, staff gave her medication but failed to conduct crucial scans, including a CT scan, which might have detected the blood clots later found in her brain.

The following morning, Smith’s boyfriend found her unresponsive and struggling to breathe. She was rushed to hospital, where doctors discovered extensive brain damage caused by multiple clots. Though surgery was considered, it was already too late. Smith was pronounced brain dead shortly afterwards.

Yet, because of Georgia’s abortion ban, doctors have been legally required to keep Smith alive to allow the foetus to reach viability. The law, known as the LIFE Act or “Heartbeat Bill” bans abortions once a foetal heartbeat is detected, usually around six weeks. While exceptions exist for medical emergencies, Smith’s condition reportedly falls into a legal grey area. As she is already brain dead, doctors argue she is no longer considered at risk, and the pregnancy must be maintained until at least 32 weeks.

[b]Her mother describes the experience as a living nightmare. “It’s torture for me. I see my daughter breathing through machines, but she’s not there,” Newkirk said. “And her son—he thinks she’s just sleeping.” The family now faces the heartbreaking possibility that the baby, if born, could face severe health issues.

Newkirk stressed that the most painful part is not having the choice. “This decision should’ve been left to us. We might not have ended the pregnancy, but not having the option is the hardest part.” Smith is currently 21 weeks pregnant, with doctors hoping to sustain her body for another 11 weeks.
