Eh, the funny thing about concentric circles is the downward spiral based on your perspective.
NBC pundit Chuck “sleepy eyes” Todd was one of the obvious voices helping to destroy the remaining remnants of corporate media credibility. Today, citing the collapse of corporate media credibility, Chuck Todd announces his departure from NBC.
WASHINGTON DC – Longtime NBC News political reporter Chuck Todd is leaving the network after 18 years, he announced on his podcast Friday morning. [H]e said it was because the “media has a lot of work to do to win back the trust” of the public, and “national media isn’t the place that’s going to be able to do it.”
[…] Todd said he will bring his podcast with him to his next venture after a brief hiatus. “I do plan to continue to share my reporting and my perspective, and to cover politics the way I’ve been covering it,” Todd said. (read more)

This is excellent news. There are two distinctively different sets of tariffs scheduled to roll out in the next few days, weeks and months.
One set of long-term tariffs called MACRO tariffs focused on reciprocity and based primarily on economic fairness. The second and more urgent set, are focused on the immediacy of national security, border security and the demand for allies to shut down their support for fentanyl distribution.
The Border Security tariffs of 25% against Mexico and Canada start on Saturday. The media and corporate interests in/around Wall Street are in maximum apoplexy mode; however, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik previously explained the reason for the urgency. The video is 5 minutes and well worth your time if you want to avoid the confusion being pushed by media. WATCH:
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Thursday said he will impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico beginning Saturday, reiterating concerns about illegal migration, fentanyl and trade deficits in remarks to reporters.
“I’ll be putting the tariff of 25 percent on Canada, and separately, 25 percent on Mexico, and we’ll really have to do that,” Trump told reporters while signing executive orders focused on aviation safety.
Trump cited a “number of reasons” for doing so. “No. 1 is the people that have poured into our country so horribly and so much. No. 2 are the drugs, fentanyl and everything else that has come into the country. And No. 3 are the massive subsidies we are giving to Canada and to Mexico in the form of deficits,” Trump said.
“Those tariffs may or may not rise with time,” the president added.
When asked whether tariffs would also be applied to U.S. imports of Canadian oil, Trump said “we may or may not” apply the duties. “We’re making that determination tonight,” he said.
[…] The president also said he was “thinking about something” on China, because they’re sending fentanyl into our country,” but he did not speak to when he might levy tariffs on Beijing or how high he would raise them. After winning election in November, Trump had threatened to impose a 10 percent tariff on Chinese imports.
The remarks come amid ongoing discussions between the Trump administration and Mexican and Canadian officials, who are seeking to reassure the new president they are clamping down on border security to stave off the tariffs. Both countries have vowed to retaliate with tariffs of their own if Trump follows through on his threats. (read more)
Personally, I would prefer to see 100% import tariffs on all goods, all of them, every product imported from another country, driving the prices of those products up big time.
Essentially, CTH holds a viewpoint seeing through all the manipulative economic gaslighting over the past several decades. Real results from 2017 through 2020 proved that targeted tariffs do not ever raise the price to U.S. consumers, and now with the added benefit of watching in real time what happened in Russia due to sanctions that cut off the majority of their imports, we have an even more fact-based reason to support 100% tariffs on all import products. This will force the reindustrialization we need.
Tariffs fundamentally change the economic dynamic. Exfiltration of wealth ends and wealth creation within the USA middle-class begins again.
Perhaps part of the reason the leftist media, specifically Washington Post, Politico, New York Times, Wall Street Journal (editorial pages) and CNN go bananas in their defense of the FBI silo, is because for the past decade they have collaborated so closely, even winning Pulitzer prizes together for their efforts on the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy.
Seriously, it’s no longer a matter of journalists reporting on FBI activity. In this era, we see FBI embeds in the role of journalists transcribing dictation directly from within the machinery of the silo itself. The publications are vessels, messaging boards for FBI narrative engineer outputs. Here’s the latest demonstration.
Adam Goldman and Devlin Barrett, two of the original stenographers for the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory, are now pushing an article using ONE anonymous FBI source who claims to have been told to resign, as representative of thousands of FBI top officials around the country being terminated. [We could be so lucky]
[…] In an email to colleagues, one of the senior agents said he had learned he would be dismissed “from the rolls of the F.B.I.” as soon as Monday morning. “I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock,” he wrote.
Senior F.B.I. agents had been bracing for potentially swift changes under President Trump given Mr. Patel’s past promise to reshape the institution. He has vowed to empty out the F.B.I. headquarters building and turn it into a museum.
The move is remarkable in part because it is happening before a director has been confirmed to take charge of the bureau, and the quick and unexpected nature of the requests has left employees badly shaken.
F.B.I. directors have more latitude than most agency chiefs in whom they place into senior positions, but they typically do so gradually. Until senators vote on Mr. Patel’s nomination, Brian Driscoll is the bureau’s acting director. (more)
… The Intelligence Community and Big Corporate Interests Control Government. That’s the inescapable conclusion for anyone who watched the grand pantomimes being displayed in the past 24 hours.
There’s a debate amid the newly awakened and many who do not want to believe it; but there is no denying that Trump 2.0 is revealing even more layers of how far astray the Republic has gone.
Institutional Democrats hate Trump, and institutional Republicans are lukewarm, at best, in defending Trump. Both wings of the DC UniParty fear Trump. Extreme efforts at control are always a reaction to fear. I make my case not on supposition, but on empirical reference points that most should understand.
Within the politics of it, the DNC wants power. The RNC wants money. The DNC uses money to get power. The RNC uses power to get money. The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity. The donor activity of the RNC drives their ideology. This is the only current difference between the two clubs, two wings of the same vulture.
Multinational corporations do not like capitalism because within the process of capitalism they do not have control over the financial outcomes. Capitalism breeds competition: multinationals abhor competition, they are totalitarian in ideology and want the entire pie under their control. Multinational corporations do not like capitalism; underline it, emphasize it, do not forget it.
Capitalism is based on the principles of a free market. Multinationals do not want a free market; they want a controlled market. Their effort toward promoting mandatory vaccine compliance is an example of yet another control they can manipulate for maximum financial benefit. It really is that simple.
Meanwhile the crew of UniParty politicians behind DC know they can benefit from their corporate allies. The multinationals will pay the politicians for control and the politicians will construct defensive legislative outcomes that protect the multinationals. That is what is happening in exponentially increasing sunlight.
Someone recently said, Kash Patel can be looked upon as the best safety mechanism available to DC in order to protect themselves from the people. It’s a good way of looking at it.
The public has seen far too much weaponization and corruption within the FBI for the pretending Republican wing of the UniParty to try and ignore it. Kash Patel stands in front of the Senate, facing We The People, as a committee offering to us in order to get the pitchforks and torches put down.
They figure if they confirm Kash Patel, everyone will settle down and the silo administrators can get back to doing their corruption stuff. Senate Intel Committee Chairman Tom Cotton admits this, you just need to put on the non-pretending earphones to hear it. WATCH:

President Trump is delivering remarks from the White House Brady Press briefing room in the aftermath of a terrible aviation disaster.
The FAA said the midair crash occurred before 9 pm EST. American Airlines Flight 5342 was inbound to Reagan National at an altitude of about 400 feet (122 meters) and a speed of about 140 mph (225 kph) when it rapidly lost altitude over the Potomac River, according to data from its radio transponder. The Canadian-made Bombardier CRJ-701 twin-engine jet, manufactured in 2004, can be configured to carry up to 70 passengers.
A few minutes before landing, air traffic controllers asked the arriving commercial jet if it could land on the shorter Runway 33 at Reagan National and the pilots said they were able. Controllers then cleared the plane to land on Runway 33. Flight-tracking sites showed the plane adjust its approach to the new runway.
Less than 30 seconds before the crash, an air traffic controller asked the helicopter if it had the arriving plane in sight. The controller made another radio call to the helicopter moments later: “PAT 25 pass behind the CRJ.” Seconds after that, the two aircraft collided.

FBI Director Nominee Kash Patel runs the Senate Judiciary Committee gauntlet.
Despite what some may think, there’s a stronger likelihood of Patel having a smooth hearing in the Senate Judiciary from the GOP wing of the UniParty, simply because the public is so awakened to the corruption within the FBI.
Patel will face a full-throated attack effort from the Democrats and not a single democrat is going to support him; so, this one is all on the Republicans in the Judiciary Committee and in the full Senate hearing if he comes out of the committee with all Republican support.

For the position of Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) holds a hearing with nominee Tulsi Gabbard. The schedule is for 10:00am today.
DNI Nominee Tulsi Gabbard is opposed by every corrupt interest within the United States Intelligence Community. The issue of their opposition is basically around who can be open against her and who must pretend to support her while being willfully blind to the attacks.

If this is indeed representative of half the country, then we are dealing with half the country having a severe mental illness.
Sheldon Whitehouse tells RFK Jr during his confirmation hearing today that support for forced, mandatory vaccinations is required as the baseline for supporting his nomination to HHS Secretary. The moment comes at 00:50 of Whitehouse reading his script. The intensity and vitriol behind the statement is a testimony to the scale of money from Big Pharma to these senators. WATCH:
