US Imposes 25% Tariffs on EU Cars and Trucks

If this kind of random imposition of tariffs continues, European manufacturers may simply decide to pack up and leave the US. It'd be a sensible move as they could write off the cost and avoid tax in their own countries.

Now It's AI, Forget Net-Zero

Have you noticed how, suddenly, no one is pushing all that net-zero nonsense? Yeah, turns out priorities have changed and none of that matters. Now, the new shiny thing is AI. It requires huge amounts of energy, so let's burn more coal. You cannot make this up; it is that shameless and utterly corrupt.

EU Against Free Speech

European elites have always treated speech as optional privileges.

VW Partially Suspends Production

This is consistent with my claim that no matter what happens, Europe will wriggle around and convince themselves that everything is China's fault.

An Englishman Reacts to Trump's UN Speech

Is Donald Trump being a voice for the voiceless? First JD Vance and now Donald Trump call out the European elites. I call these elites Count von Wotsits. There's no democracy in Europe, they just put up the façade.

US-EU Trade Deal Extracting Tribute

It makes sense, the EU buckled and are being made to pay tribute to the US. Another angle I've read somewhere, is that the EU elites have so much invested in the US, they are effectively owned by them. If the markets in the US tank, the EU stands to lose their wealth. I've been saying it for a long time; the EU isn't a democracy, it is owned and operated by former Princes and Count von Wotsits. With this latest deal, they've shored up their own holdings and told the peasants to suck it up.

Of course, I have little sympathy for the EU as they've been kicking the rest of the world since their establishment. 

Brexit Benefits UK vs EU Bad Deal

Broadly speaking, the UK had imposed on them a tariff rate of 10%, while the EU gets 15%. 

The weakness of the EU structure has been fully exposed. There was the unelected Ursula von der Leyen shaking hands with Donald Trump and taking whatever deal was being imposed on the EU, and every country within that bloc gets no say.

Meanwhile the UK, now being outside the tent, gets a better deal.

UK prime minister, Keir Starmer met Donald Trump in Scotland and sat there like a Cheshire cat smiling. OK, I'm getting a bit carried away but Starmer did then look uncomfortable when Trump mentioned he got men out of women's sports, and then he started to squirm again when Trump called the mayor of London a nasty person. Trump again put Starmer on the spot over death taxes, pointing out he'd scrapped them, thus rescuing family farms from the banks. Starmer is a fail on every one of these points, and sits opposite Trump on the issue, but he just sat there, no doubt thinking 10%, 10%, 10%.

Starmer is so weak, and Von der Leyen weaker. But I'd like to know what went on behind the scenes between the US and the EU. One day, the EU is talking tough, then the next day they've rolled over. This was the fastest climb down seen this century - no joke.

EU Buckles

I predicted this would happen: the EU has buckled and like the UK, will do as they're told by the US. Mark this one down as a victory for the US. Any day now and the EU will blame China for something, everything, just because:

The United States and European Union have reached a trade deal framework, ending a months-long standoff between two of the world's biggest economic partners.

After make-or-break negotiations between President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen in Scotland, the pair agreed a US tariff on all EU goods of 15%.

That is half the 30% import tax rate Trump had threatened to implement starting on Friday. He said the 27-member bloc would open its markets to US exporters with zero per cent tariffs on certain products.

EU Needs Britain's Collapse

I've been thinking this for a while; the EU are trying to bring the UK down. They are at war with Britain, and Britain needs to wake up.

Will the EU Crush America?

Err, I doubt the EU has the economic muscle to defeat the US in a trade war, but I guess we are about to find out. What is more likely to happen is the whole world decides to deal with one another and move away from the US dollar.

WWIII Has Started?

I'm not convinced that WWIII has actually started yet, but I am prepared to concede that we may be in the final days before it kicks off.

Now the US is one of the bad guys, various alliances become possible: CANZUK - Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. EU adds Canada. China, which doesn't want a powerful Russia to its north, and definitely does not want Russia to occupy the Stans of Central Asia, may support Europe (a bit of a stretch but who would have seen the US joining Russia), Japan and South Korea join NATO without the US, and SE Asia is now at risk but Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand need to team up.

Europe's Crybaby Leaders

Check this out, in response to JD Vance's criticism, European leaders cry like a bunch of eight-year-olds. 

Matt Goodwin: Europe's Biggest Lie?

Personally, I think Europe's biggest lie is their saying they have the answer to everything. They do this through a myriad of systems all the time, whether it is through their rigged university rankings, or rules regarding business, insurance, or the media narrative which always has it that Europe knows it all.

But here, Matt Goodwin comments on US Vice President, JD Vance calling out Europe for suppressing free speech, and for acting against the interests or will of its own people.

The JD Vance Speech

File this under: suck it up cupcakes.

US Vice President, JD Vance has called out the European elites for their rank hypocrisy while speaking at the Munich Security Conference. I particularly enjoyed his mention of these elites - people I call the princes of Europe - fearing their own people. He nailed it. He also nailed it when mentioning that face of corporate Green interests, Greta Thunberg.

I believe we are witnessing a new Yalta Agreement moment. In 1945, three powers met at Yalta and divided up post-war Europe. Attendees present were Winston Churchill, FDR and Stalin. Now, in 2025 Britain is no longer invited. Europe's fate is for the US and Russia to decide. 

USAID Shutdown

The move to shut down the US aid programme does look dictatorial. My question is related to Elon Musk: who elected him? Elon Musk is not the entrepreneur he's touted as being. He's an invention of the US federal government and its spending, without which he'd be penniless. Not only that, he makes the world's worst car, Tesla, and rockets that are unreliable. For the latter, and an example of best practise he needs to take a trip to Russia, and for the former a trip to Japan.

I find myself agreeing with about 50% of what Donald Trump is doing. However, don't his recent moves look like Russia collusion? If you look back to just before last year's election, who stood isolated in the world? That would be Russia, with only a few close allies; namely, China, Iran, North Korea and Belarus. 

Now, Donald Trump is trying to upset all of America's closest allies; Mexico, Canada, and the EU. If you were Vladimir Putin, wouldn't you be dancing a jig right now? I think so. Then, Elon Musk has close links to China and het sets out to destroy US federal government institutions. Uhm...hellooo.

Trump Ignorance OMG

I just heard Donald Trump bemoaning how Europe doesn't take American cars and I just shook my head. He's simply ignorant regarding the history of the US and European car production. Ford cars are seen in Europe, they're made there but have had a declining market share since they're not as good as competing brands. Likewise GM, the maker of Chevrolet, but in Europe they were Vauxhall and Opel. GM went bust and so Vauxhall and Opel were sold off. 

The failure of American car brands in Europe is the result of US incompetence and inability to make a decent car, and not because the Europeans shut them out. 

What's Coming Next from Donald Trump?

Donald Trump talked to reporters after he arrived at Joint Base Andrews, near Washington DC. He outlined further measures, including stopping aid to South Africa, and tariffs on the EU but not on the UK at this stage. He seemed to suggest that the trade balance between the UK and US can be addressed. 

Cancel Culture Dangerous

The silencing of voices is becoming commonplace. The western world is becoming fully authoritarian.

Carbon Passports

How long will it take before you become the carbon they want to reduce?

Their ideal world is digitized, downsized, dehumanized, depopulated and generally feudal in nature. If they succeed in imposing their ideal system on the world, we will see millions starved to death by their war on food and farmers. Thank God the farmers in Europe have awakened to the real purpose of the climate scam, which is to destroy their livelihoods and their ability to feed the world. If these globalist scum succeed, most of us will not live to see 2040. And those who manage to survive in their dehumanized, top-down, control-grid society will be either rich or poor, with very little in between. This is a war on the middle class, on traditional values, on the value of work and the nuclear family.

Will Germany Disappear?

I found this very interesting; Germany is faced with seemingly unsolvable problems:
