"Mr. President, take 'yes' for an answer.

"On Monday, as the fallout from Liberation Day continued to rile markets, the European Union surrendered.

"'We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods,' European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.

"That would lower the price of pharmaceuticals, cars and other products that American companies export to the EU.

"It's exactly the sort of agreement that would make President Trump's tariff wars a success -- forcing nations to make better deals for our workers. And if the agreement isn't perfect, it's at least a starting point."

"Maybe all that winning was becoming boring.

"Whatever the reasons that led President Trump to rock the globe with his 'Liberation Day' tariff regime, the immediate result has been a world of hurt for millions upon millions of Americans.

"The stock market meltdown that wiped out some $6.4 trillion of value last Thursday and Friday means many households saw 10% or more of their nest eggs suddenly erased.

"Their pain is matched only by their confusion about why the president triggered the sell-off."

"In this age of rage, it is common for people to become the very thing that they despise in others, jettisoning their most cherished values to strike out at those they hate.

"Since the election, Democrats have shown that very self-destructive quality of rage in adopting anti-immigrant, anti-free speech, anti-labor, and even anti-environmental positions to get at Donald Trump or his supporters.

"It consumes every part of a person. It is addictive, and it is contagious. What these rage addicts will not admit, however, is that they like it; they need it.

"That was evident this week in New York, where democratic legislators are again moving to weaponize state laws for political purposes -- just like they did with Trump.

"This time, they are targeting Elon Musk, whose dealerships, charging stations, and customers have been hit by political violence from the left."

"Two Republican-led states have removed hundreds of thousands of registrations from their voter rolls this month, while another identified hundreds of non-citizen voters during their voter list maintenance.

"Collectively, the GOP-led states of Idaho and Missouri took nearly 300,000 registrations off their voter rolls after finding inactive, ineligible, or deceased voters, in addition to duplicates and voters who moved. Iowa identified nearly 300 non-citizens on the state's voter rolls and referred them to the Iowa attorney general.

"President Donald Trump issued an executive order on election integrity last week, offering assistance to states on maintaining voter rolls. 'To identify unqualified voters registered in the States: the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, ensure that State and local officials have, without the requirement of the payment of a fee, access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered,' the executive order reads."

"The New York Times editorial board just discovered what conservatives have been saying for years: the Democratic Party is completely out of touch with everyday Americans.

It's a stunning rebuke from a paper that typically carries the water for Dems. The Times finally admitted the obvious: Democrats' obsession with identity politics and their 'scolding, censorious posture' have driven voters straight into Republicans' arms.

'In the aftermath of this comprehensive defeat, many party leaders have decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their messages,' the editorial board writes. 'They have instead settled on a convenient explanation for their plight.'"

"Seriously

"You think that Jeffrey Goldberg got added to a high-level national security conversation by chance? Maybe you thought Covid was from the wet market and not from the lab that was right there and contained Covid-like viruses.

"The chance that this was done by an operative looking to embarrass the administration is about 90 per cent. The chance someone added him because they were looking for another Jeffrey is about 10 percent.

"This was a security breach but most likely one by a partisan trying to undermine the administration than by the participants on the chain. I'm not a conspiracy theorist -- I just play the odds and the odds it was an innocent mistake are low and deliberate act are high. Of course, though, I'm waiting for the final answer."

"Democrats had a tough time at a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing yesterday on the censorship industrial complex.

"They had to argue there was never any censorship during the Biden administration (including during Covid!) and that free speech and freedom of the press were never threatened by the partnership of government agencies with private institutions to combat 'disinformation.' After all, the government was just trying to catch foreign disinformation operations, they argued, so any censorship that did happen was necessary and proper.

"Put another way, the censorship industrial complex never happened -- and if it did it was a good thing and the targets deserved it."

"Few things are so unhelpful as the journalist who buries the lede.

"There has been a lot of that lately, especially insofar as the Trump administration's mmigration crackdown is concerned.

"Take, for example, the case of the Georgetown University researcher arrested in Virginia last week over his alleged ties to terrorism. Badar Khan Suri reportedly spread Hamas propaganda online while having 'close connections to a known or suspected terrorist, who is a senior advisor to Hamas,' according to the Department of Homeland Security.

"This is pretty serious stuff, which is why the coverage has been so maddening. In most reports, the allegations against Suri are buried so deep as to be next to the dinosaur bones."

"The Associated Press (AP) retracted a story Tuesday claiming that U.S. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard publicly referred to President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as 'very good friends.'

"The outlet withdrew its story titled, 'Gabbard Says Trump And Putin Are "Very Good Friends" Focused On Strengthening Ties,' before publishing a correction clarifying that Gabbard was referring to Trump's friendship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the AP announced.

"'This story was updated on Mar. 17, 2025, to delete erroneous reporting that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin "are very good friends,"' the AP wrote in an editor's note at the bottom of the story.

"A spokesperson for the AP told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the initial report was removed from their site because 'it did not meet [their] standards.'"
