Trump administration 2024-2028

Big businesses are beginning to line up.


With Friday's lawsuit, Costco becomes the latest major company to seek tariff refunds through the courts.

Global cosmetics giant Revlon, eyeglass maker EssilorLuxottica, motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki, canned foods seller Bumble Bee, Japanese auto supplier Yokohama Tire and many smaller firms have also filed similar suits.
 
And then they came for our turtles...

Pete Hegseth's use of Canadian character Franklin the turtle in post about boat strikes prompts anger, mockery​


Franklin the turtle is a Canadian creation beloved by generations of children, so when U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth turned him into a bazooka-wielding soldier in a social media post Sunday, many people were alarmed.

Hegseth's post featured a mock cover of a Franklin children's book titled "Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists." The image shows a smiling Franklin wearing a military helmet and vest and an American flag on his arm. He's standing in a helicopter, firing a weapon toward a boat carrying packages and a man holding a gun.

"For your Christmas wish list," he wrote above the post, an apparent attempt to make light of deadly U.S. military strikes on suspected drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean Sea and eastern Pacific Ocean.

A very serious man, who acts and should be taken very seriously.
 
That RPG would have taken out his helicopter with the backblast....but....it's a kid's book, so that's acceptable to ignore.

Going to see a lot more of this…
While I'm not against this campaign, I would really like to see that only those companies that can demonstrate that they did not pass the costs onto consumers be eligible for reimbursement.
 
This has gone somewhat under the radar after MTG's big resignation announcement, but there are now 6 GOP incumbents in Texas that will not be looking for reelection in 2026.

There is also a special election to keep an eye on happening in Tennessee today (TN-7) in which Trump won with a +22 point lead in 2024, and it could very well flip. They are clearly worried, Trump and Johnson even rushed out a last minute telerally.


Troy Nehls is just the latest Texas Republican planning to exit Congress. Here are the others.

This article is about the US but the same will be true of Canadian mine tailings.

 
Do Base Commanders not not have sway over their bases PSP/NPF functions, through CFMWS, which the MFRC is one of ?
Already being worked on. The 'Cobalt Camp' near, of course, Cobalt Ontario, was a fairly rich silver mining area up until the 1930s and cobalt was a known waste product since there was no marketable use for it back than.

Now, some start-ups are seeking to work the tailings. I've also heard of it being tried with gold tailings as refinery methods improve but I don't think the money is in it.

I watch on Youtube a young guy that's opened up his very own gold mine. The mine was abandoned about 90+yrs ago and he's rehabilitating the old mine and bringing it back online. Among the first things he did was gather up the old mine tailings and refine them himself. I find it pretty interesting.

It's mbmmllc on Youtube. He does it all himself, mining, crushing, refining, smelting.
