Ed at Hat Hair, NEW: US, China (Mostly) Pause Tariffs for 90 Days. Ace, US, China Agree to 90 Day Reduction in Tariffs, "The stock markets are soaring." Vicky Taft at PJM asks See If You Can Spot the Biggest Difference Between Biden's and Trump's China Deals "Hunter's company, Rosemont Seneca, whose business product was Joe Biden, helped China's takeover of a cobalt mine from an American company in the Congo. It was a $3.8 billion deal. As we now know, Hunter's businesses always had to kick back "10% to 'The Big Guy.'"" Ward Clark at RedState, This Is What We Voted For: Trump Speaks on China Trade Deal. zerohedge @zerohedge" This is great... the only problem is that there actually are - checks Bloomberg - exactly 53 ships headed for California's top ports, more than there were on this day one year ago. Jonathan Lemire @JonLemire "Zero ships from China are bound for California’s top ports Officials haven’t seen that since the pandemic." Clay Travis @ClayTravis "I paid $2.87 for a gallon of gas today, the lowest price I can remember paying in years. That’s down by nearly half from peak-Biden gas prices in the summer of 2022. Should be a major talking point, instead it’s almost completely ignored by media." To be fair, WaPoo did complain that oil prices were so low, drillers had no interest in drilling new wells. Liz Shield at Am Great, Waiver to Sell Venezuelan Oil to Expire at End of May.

Ace, Trump Signs Executive Order Demanding that US Drug Makers Sell Drugs to the US Market at the Same Prices They Sell to Other Countries. "I don't know what his claim of power is based on.

I don't know." At Althouse, a Big shot takes fat shot. ET, New Top FDA Official Says He’s Not Anti-Vaccine, but Evidence Required, "Dr. Vinay Prasad has criticized the government’s position on COVID-19 vaccines."
Ryan King and David Propper at NYPO report Trump set to receive $400 million ‘flying palace’ from Qatar to use as Air Force One, setting liberals aflame. Atop Da Hill, House Democrat demands ethics review of Qatari jet gift to Trump. Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson "I’m going to try one last time. The Qatar B-747 was built in the US by Boeing. They are offering a newer 747 to replace one of the two current AF-1s that have been flying for 40 years. Which are tired and need to be replaced. The wing based at Andrews has also purchased aircraft from other countries in the past which are currently flying our VP and senior government officials. This is NOT new. Qatar is offering the jet to the US military, not Donald Trump. The DOD contractor is based in the US, in fact my dad (a retired Air Force general) used to work for them. They are, not unironically, also working to upgrade the FAA technology as we speak. You know, Newark and elsewhere. They will get the aircraft and perform all of the security and the installation of the systems that AF-1 requires to safely move our president around the world. Not the Qatari’s. And you and I will pay for that but not the $400 million the 747 would normally cost. I could tell you exactly what is required to modify the AF-1 for safe flight but that is Top Secret and I’d have to kill you. This AF-1 will serve the sitting president, whether they be Republican or Democrat until Boeing gets their shit together to complete the new, upcoming improved 747s that started under Obama, was renegotiated under Trump, and was completely ignored by the Biden administration. It’s looking like 2029 to 2030 for delivery at the soonest. I love X but sometimes the “sky is falling” conspiracy crap grows tiresome. A little knowledge goes a long way. Having flown on the current AF-1s 100 hundred times, I have intimate knowledge. Now, come at me about “chemtrails.”"

Outrage over Trump Targeting Law Firms is Turning Shakespearean. Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley, "In opposing the Trump orders, lawyers at these firms are now adopting a truly Shakespearean pose as heroic champions of free speech and free thought. For many conservatives and Republicans, it is about as convincing as MacBeth claiming to be a pacifist..." Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley, "...In prior years, Democratic groups unleashed a campaign to pressure firms to fire lawyers who represented Trump, the Republican Party, or conservative causes. It worked. I know lawyers who were told to drop Republican cases or else find new employment." Hat Hair's Dave Strom also looks at The Hypocrisy of the Legal Elite.

"The newsy, clippable bit of Hogg’s interview/discussion with Maher was his diagnosis for why men are fleeing the party, and in particular for why younger men have been leaving in droves after having hewed the line within the party for years: young men want to get laid and have fun, and the Democratic Party has been the party of killjoys." Looks like they might kick him out and replace him with a nagging Redskin American Indian woman. Matt Vespa at TownHall thinks There's a Serious Problem With David Hogg's Young People Outreach Strategy "They’re weirdo clan who think dudes can be women, have a lust to mutilate the genitals of minors, think Hamas are freedom fighters, and want to flood the nation with hordes of people from s**thole countries."

Michael Goodwin at NYPo sees Biden defending his presidency even has the Dems wanting him to go away. Matt Margolis reports It Turns Out That Even More of Joe Biden’s Jobs Creation Numbers Were Fake. "According to new figures released this week, the 399,000 jobs the Biden team claimed were created between July and September of last year have completely vanished. Not only did the economy not add those jobs, but it also lost 1,000 private-sector jobs during that period."
