Looks like President Trump is serious about anti-Semitism on college campuses. Columbia University just took a $400 million hit.

People really have no idea how bad Columbia is on the inside. The only reason what has happened with Jews there has been allowed is because the leftists at the school, in the faculty, and controlling the administration have no problem with attacks on whites. That's the operative element in all of this—there are few to no consequences because they foster hatred toward white people, of whom they view Jews as a part.

In 2018, a drunk student was filmed going on a tirade saying that white people are unfairly attacked even though white people are responsible for providing objective benefit to the world at large throughout history. Within a single day, the university had already issued a statement strongly inferring how horribly racist this particular kid is. Barnard banned him from their campus immediately. All for a drunken speech that could only obliquely be called something approaching racism. His life was literally ruined, and the university played a huge, active, and knowing role in doing so—because he was white, and destroying whites is allowed.

When students and faculty start wearing terrorist gear, chanting the slogans of groups that explicitly want to kill Jews, and pass out literal terrorist propaganda (not even an exaggeration, as of this week students at Barnard tried to seize their library while throwing around Hamas pamphlets), there is only handwringing and soft statements. The University Senate, an interschool governing body, slow rolls and purposefully vitiates any judiciary proceeding that could impose punishment. To this day, people who seized and trashed a central academic building with priceless art in it (Tiffany's stained glass with images of Sophocles and Vergil, over a 100 years old) have not been punished. It took almost two years and a change in presidential administrations for anything to even begin to happen—and I doubt anything will ultimately change. It's like the Romans expecting the Jewish zealots to give up just because they're being starved of food, or early Christians to worship the emperor because they're faced with martyrdom by fire. Compare what the university does when one drunk white kid says white people aren't bad vs. what it does when a crowd of proud, unabashed supporters of a terrorist group whose manifesto discusses killing all Jews march around campus jeering at Jews.

The reason for this difference is simple: they view Jews as white, and white people are fair game. They want to—and will do—everything they are now, but directed at Christian whites if they can. It's very in vogue among 4chan types that come to KF for political discussion to rant about dah joos and think this is all about Israel. But if you have a bit of perspective, you'll realize that the people who are being targeted by this should be targeted, because as soon as all the Jews are gone they'll be doing the exact same thing to whites. They have proven it for over a decade, and the university deserves to financially burn until every wannabe terrorist is gone. Because, again, they just view Jews as the first obtainable target on a list that eventually includes every white American.
 
How do these people think prices go down? Trump has been in office two months, we won’t see a noticeable drop in prices for close to a year. Things need to go into effect and the effect needs to be worked out. He can’t just force every store to lower a price, it’s not like Biden magically told them all that eggs now cost $10 a dozen
These people unironically believe that most price increases in America (and probably the world at large) are due to "corporate greed" and things like inflation, or cost of doing business are just excuses. "We have enough resources for everyone mannnn, just give the people what they want mannnn"

These people believe in command economies. If the prices are up for eggs it's not because over a hundred million birds got shoah'd, it's because the egg companies are evil masterminds that feel like marking up their products 100%+ because they want to.

The Canadian cope on Reddit is hilarious about the China tariffs.
They're extremely retarded. "Umm guys why don't we just tariffs the shit out of the US and drop all auto tariffs on China and be friends with them instead?"

These people want the Canadian auto industry to go up in smoke. Imagine Canada being flooded with a gorillion cheap Chinese made EVs. Who cares about native Canadians and their jobs? We need to fight back against Orange Man damn it!
 
Fascinating how he went from (rightfully) mocking the BLM riots to this buckbroken. The QuantumTV drama must have broke hard.

He is a spineless clout chaser who will spout whatever he thinks is most likely to give him views and ass pats. He mocked people for saying Starfield was woke in 2022, and then acted all shocked about how woke AAA games were in 2024 when it became useful to him.

Dude is a whore.

I don't think Trump realistically could fix the economy. Cutting bloat and doing supply side economics is nice and all but these are bandages on the cannon-wound that is the US economy. Trump doesn't want to be assassinated so he won't do what is necessary to truly fix the deeply rooted issues with the federal reserve.

US economy is basically fucked. At the very least Trump can amend the most immediate issues, but the damage has metastasized since COVID + Biden.
 
I looked into the redrawing of Canada's border.

[...] Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, is pushing US negotiators to discuss reworking the border with their Canadian counterparts, The Telegraph can reveal.
“Navarro recommended revising the Canada-US border, which is just crazy and dangerous,” a source close to negotiations told The Telegraph. [...]

Peter Navarro is the economist I mentioned in a previous post about Trump2.0 tariff logic.

  • Annex Canada using “economic force” … for its minerals?
  • Redraw the U.S.-Canada border
  • Redistribute the Great Lakes (and take Canada’s water)
  • Remove Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance
  • Cancel NORAD
  • The fentanyl blame game

Apparently there is a 1908 treaty with the United Kingdom over the US/Canada border. The treaty is mostly about the borders of the Great Lakes.

Navarro suggests that you can interpret it in such a way that the US gains territory. This is apparently the "maximalist" interpretation of the treaty:

The US economy was fucked the moment Woodrow Wilson stepped into the White House. Try as he might, trump can’t just easily reverse that kind of damage.

The US had the momentum of a virtuous and independent people being the common factor in a country that also became the winner of two world wars which crushed all competition aside for a communist state that was doomed to fail. The US kept its power through pure momentum and because the fiat currency creates a doubling effect in forcing the US to be more and more imperialistic, thus getting more powerful, and only able to justify its power through more soft force.

2008 broke it hard, but it was patched enough by Trump to seem okay. 2020-2024 have been the last straw. The US' issues are terminal without sufficiently extreme enough action.
 
When are they getting rid of all the DEI shit in commercials. Come on Trump take away their funding or something I just wanna watch TV without being demoralized.


They’ll play this shit like directly after a commercial with a White woman licking ice cream off some jigaboos chest.

And I still get ads in spic too

If the US is fucked, how fucked is literally every other country? Perhaps our continuously inflating currency has poisoned our thinking on economics entirely, but we have 50 states of land to tap while nobody else has that kind of potential.

The US will be fine.

Holy SHIT the wailing and gnashing of teeth from just Toronto and London would be detectable from deep space. The first stroke of the rake.
