RONALD REAGAN vs.TARIFFS: 1987 speech gains NEW LIFE in 2025

Following this week's Canadian ad about tariffs that included clips from a 1987 Reagan radio address, the Liar-in-Chief has added some new whoppers about Reagan’s stance on tariffs to his mountainous repertoire of falsehoods.  

Once again he asks the American people: who are you going to believe, your lying eyes and ears or a convicted felon who told over 30,000 documented lies during his first presidency. If you are undecided as to how to answer that question, here is Reagan's 5-minute address below in its entirety.

The Real Power of Nonviolent Resistance

 

Felon is trying to create chaos in blue cities to rationalize use of the Insurrection Act. No federal court will ever agree if cities remain peaceful in their constant NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE. Remember John Lewis and Dr. King!! We shall fucking overcome. Thank you for your attention to this matter. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

ORWELL 2+2=5 - Official Greenband Trailer - In Select Theaters October 3

During this Great Regression, AFT and NEA could use some of their hundreds of millions of dollars for an educational purpose, rather than promoting AI to replace teachers and endanger children, by purchasing this amazing documentary for every high school in the U.S. 

 

"George Orwell was one of the most visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose novels 1984 and Animal Farm foretold a chilling, all-to-believable authoritarian future. Acclaimed director Raoul Peck (Academy Award-nominated I Am Not Your Negro), working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings from Orwell's diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. Peck doesn't just present the information but shows new ways of seeing it, drawing patterns and connections we might not otherwise realize, championing Orwell as a man from the past who just might hold the key to the world's future."

Trump’s Shiny Object of the Day:

This new diversion from the demand for release of the Trumpstein Files takes the form of a dystopian fantasy so blatantly stupid it would have to put together directly by the Disaster-in-Chief, himself. 


"Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) wrote on X in all capital letters, 'IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM’.” 

Lawrence O’Donnell Commentary: “Disaster in Chief"
