The Biden Administration and All Things Politics


  • North Korea executed 30 middle schoolers for watching South Korean dramas, according to reports.
  • The shows were reportedly stored on USBs that were floated over the border by North Korean defectors.
  • North Korea has been accused of using harsh penalties for those caught watching South Korean media.

According to reports from South Korean news outlets Chosun TV and Korea JoongAng Daily, around 30 middle schoolers were publicly shot last week for watching South Korean dramas.

The shows were reportedly stored on USBs that were floated over the border by North Korean defectors.

South Korean officials did not comment directly on the report, but according to Korea JoongAng Daily, one unnamed South Korean Unification Ministry official told reporters that "it is widely known that North Korean authorities strictly control and harshly punish residents based on the three so-called 'evil' laws."

One of these is North Korea's Reactionary Ideology and Culture Rejection Act, which forbids individuals from disseminating media that originates in South Korea, the US, or Japan.

This is not the first instance of North Koreans reportedly being killed for their association with content from their southern neighbor.

According to a 2022 UN Secretary-General report, a man in Kangwon Province was killed by a public firing squad after his neighborhood watch unit saw him selling digital content from South Korea.

A video was released earlier this year showing two teenagers being sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for watching a K-pop video.

A defector told the Korea Herald that in 2020, North Korean parents were forced to sign a pledge stating they would ensure their children do not watch "impure video content" at home.

Trump should write his best buddy another love letter and tell him that this isn't cool.
 
I mean, Democrats are sitting here openly hating people of religion, all while openly calling to put presidents up against the wall and murder them, all while openly advocating for the DoJ to arrest political opponents and they bring up North Korea lol. The irony. That's the type of stuff North Korea excels at. It's only a matter of time until the alt-left puts people like me and people who believe in God up against the wall like they admit they want to do.

The most disturbing part is these little cultists are blaming Trump for something he had nothing to do with. At some point this is a mental illness.

As far as VP, I've always like Tim Scott out of the bunch. Sadly I'm terrified that the Christian Hate Speech Cult will take after their grandparents and great grandparents on go all KKK and wear their pointy hoods again. They already openly hate Christianity without a second thought, they openly advocate for a guy in Biden who goes to KKK funerals and has been historically racist, they absolutely hate Clarence Thomas for being a black Republican, they have murdered millions upon millions of blacks in the womb so they are capable of some terrible things. One day it's openly hating Christians who vote differently, the next.... I just don't know but from what I see these people cherish hating anyone who thinks differently.
 

Trump has made some policy statements during his campaign that could affect the cost of living for some Americans. In particular, Trump’s promised tariffs on imports and his tax policies could increase the cost of living, especially for middle-class Americans.

”Trump has proposed increasing tariffs and trade restrictions,” said Goss. “Contrary to the assumed outcomes by the political class, this action would result in trade retaliations from U.S. trading partners and much lower tax collections than expected. The result will be reductions in U.S. sales of agriculture and manufacturing abroad and a consequent fall in growth and federal tax collections.”
Trump’s proposal involves replacing the income tax with a 10% general tariff on imports of various goods and services. He also wants to place a 60% tariff on Chinese imports.
An increase in tariffs will likely increase the cost of many goods and services. Businesses will be forced to pass on the increased costs to their customers, which would likely increase the cost of living for Americans.

“This will raise the price of foreign goods sold in the U.S., result in retaliation from U.S. trading partners, slow U.S. economic growth by reducing U.S. agriculture and manufacturing activity, and heighten U.S. inflationary pressures with a hawkish Federal Reserve raising interest rates.”
According to the Center for American Progress Action, the proposed tariff increases would amount to around $1,500 in increased annual taxes for the typical household, including a $90 tax increase on food, a $90 tax increase on prescription drugs, a $70 tax increase on clothing, an $80 tax increase on electronics, a $220 tax increase on cars, auto parts and other vehicles, and a $120 tax increase on oil and petroleum products.

“If elected, former President Trump would continue his 2017 tax reform bill" It’s important to note that extremely wealthy households — those making $500,000 or more per year — would receive a larger tax cut than everyone else. This difference would be in dollars and as a percentage of their after-tax income. Without that additional tax money from the extremely wealthy, the nation’s debt will continue to rise.

While it’s difficult to predict the cost of living with a second Trump term, the best predictions we can make are based on his first term in office and his campaign promises. However, Trump’s proposed tariffs on imported goods and tax policies are especially concerning to many experts. (but shhhhh, dont trust the experts. trust trump. he knows more about everything than anyone.)

This is the same rhetoric the Christian Hate Cult pushed the last time and then it didn't happen lol. Well it did under Biden and your response is below? You didn't give a **** and told me how you dislike poor people. All you have is "this might happen" and Christian hate anymore. The desperation is something like I've never seen.
**** the poors!

Above is what fish said when I was explaining how inflation works and how people are struggling mightily. People are starving and this was his response. He openly admits he hates the poor. His words, not mine.

Although as a candidate, Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp” and limit the influence of lobbyists over the federal government, his administration has done the opposite. Over the last two years, the Trump Administration has hired at least 164 former lobbyists in a wide variety of influential positions, according to an analysis by the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics.

At the EPA, nearly half of the political appointees hired by the Trump Administration have had strong ties to industries regulated by the agency industry, according to research by the Associated Press. About a third of these EPA appointees – including the current acting administrator – formerly worked as registered lobbyists or lawyers for fossil fuel companies, chemical manufacturers, or other corporate clients.

The Trump Administration has been pursuing a de-regulatory agenda that benefits many of these same industries by rolling back air and water pollution control regulations. This inverts the purpose of the agency, which is to protect the environment and public health, not industry profits
. In the list below, links are provided to source documents.

Andrew Wheeler, Acting EPA Administrator. Formerly earned $741,000 annually as an attorney with Faegre Baker Daniels, a law and lobbying firm that represented several polluting industries, including the coal company Murray Energy. In March 2017, Wheeler attended a meeting between Murray’s chief executive, Robert Murray, and Trump’s Energy Secretary, Rick Perry, during which the coal magnate handed Perry a written roadmap for rolling back regulations on the coal industry, which the administration has largely followed. Other former lobbying clients of Wheeler’s that are regulated by EPA include a uranium mining company, Energy Fuels Resources; XCEL Energy, a public utility; Bear Head LNG Corp., a liquid natural gas export company; the Celanese Corp., a Texas-based chemical manufacturing company; International Paper; and Archer Daniels Midland. His financial disclosure form can be found here.


That was trumps head of the EPA lol. Should probably make Beavis the head of the department of education and Al Capone the head of the department of justice lol.
 
No other injuries. The "noise" happened like three times before he went down, then there was a quick series of that noise, then like a few stragglers and a final random noise. Trump was obviously injured, but it didn't seem to be bad. It didn't seem like anyone else was hurt. There was no mass panic stampede away from the scene.

I mean was that an air gun? Did Trump get hit with a pellet. Problem is the quick succession of shots. A CO2 powered air gun is weak.

If that was even a .22 it seem like more people would have been obviously hurt.
