Economy
BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!
Currently, approximately 5.3 million borrowers have defaulted on their federal student loans.
The former head of the Dutch central bank, Nout Wellink, has called US president Donald Trump an “economic and political terrorist” for unleashing a trade war with China and pivoting towards Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
“The Chinese have been preparing methodically,” Wellink said. “Actually they were already doing so when I was working there.
“They’ve been diverting trade flows away from America. They’re aware that technology is going to be cut off and they’ll have to develop their own.” .
Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Slok on Sunday released a report outlining the timeline for Trump’s tariffs to result in empty shelves, layoffs in the trucking and retail sector and a recession this summer.
Trump announced his “liberation day” tariffs on April 2 and it takes about 20-40 days for container ships to sail to the U.S. from China, according to Apollo. Slok estimates that container ships coming to U.S. ports could come to a stop by mid May.
It then takes about 1-10 days of transit time for trucking/rail to bring goods from the ports to cities. Apollo Global Management predicts that my late May domestic freight demand will “come to a halt” and that there will be “empty shelves” with companies responding “to lower sales.”
By early June, Slok forecasts there will be layoffs in the the domestic freight and retail industries with a recession hitting the U.S. this summer.
The Trump administration issued a formal veto threat Monday morning regarding a bipartisan resolution that would terminate the president’s emergency powers underpinning his sweeping global tariffs.
The Senate is set to vote as early as this week on a resolution to rescind Trump’s national emergency declaration justifying the imposition of broad tariffs on imported goods. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said the president would veto the resolution in the event the resolution makes it to his desk, according to a statement of administration policy exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“There can be no doubt that S.J. Res. 49 — if passed — would undermine U.S. national and economic security,” the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) wrote. “If S.J. Res. 49 were presented to the President, he would veto it.”
Democratic Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden and Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul are co-leading the effort to eliminate the foundation of Trump’s tariff authority. Congress has the power to force a vote on terminating the president’s emergency powers, which is subject to a simple majority vote in both chambers.
“What I do know is that Americans are behaving very differently from what the surveys say,” he added. “So the surveys may say that, but consumers are still spending. So I prefer to look at what Americans are doing rather than how they’re answering pollsters.”
The poll shows that only 39% of the adults in the country approve of how Trump is handling his job, with 55% who disapprove, including 44% who strongly disapprove.
Bessent, meanwhile, said that he has his doubts about the poll numbers that are coming out. “When I look at the sum of the things that are being published, there was a story 10 days ago that said this is the worst April for the stock market since the Great Depression.”
But just 10 days later, the Nasdaq is up, said Bessent, but “I haven’t seen a story that says, Oh, the stock market has the biggest bounce back ever.”
[O]n April 24 about a dozen Chinese officials, including a “high-ranking official from the Chinese Ministry of Finance,” were seen entering the U.S. Treasury’s main building in Washington at 7:00 in the morning as Chinese security officials attempted to prevent photographers from recording the entry.
“In fact, the tariff waivers underscore that not only does Beijing need access to the American market far more than Americans need the China market but also that the United States makes vital products that simply aren’t Made in China, and won’t be for years at best.” — Alan Tonelson, trade expert at RealityChek, to Gatestone, April 25, 2025.
When Trump has to raise the temperature, Beijing has just shown him which U.S. products China believes it cannot do without.
The move is significant, but why is Beijing making such important trade concessions without admitting it is making concessions?
Xi Jinping’s regime simply cannot admit that it is not able to stand up to Washington.

Growth in artificial intelligence-focused data centers will drive demand for gas- and coal-fired power plants, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency.
Millions across Spain, Portugal, and parts of southern France were plunged into darkness today, as a sudden and sweeping blackout—already being called one of Europe’s largest—has sparked chaos, crippling cities, halting train networks, shuttering airports, and forcing critical infrastructure to limp along on emergency generators.
Amid mounting speculation and a lack of clear answers, some have voiced fears that the blackout could be the result of a coordinated cyber attack—an explanation that conveniently fits the narrative of a globalist-led Europe looking to ready the continent’s population for war with Russia.
The lights first flickered and died around midday, with Spain’s power grid showing a stunning collapse in a matter of seconds. Airports in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, and Valencia scrambled as their systems crashed, while metro services ground to a halt in Madrid, Porto, Lisbon, and Valencia. Even the Madrid Open tennis tournament had to call an abrupt time-out, The Telegraphreported.

This atmospheric phenomenon could have caused the voltage and frequency of some parts of the grid to fall out of sync, REN said.
But some analysts have suggested that the Spanish grid operator’s reliance on renewable energy sources to supply the majority of the nation’s electricity could have led to the blackout.
Traditional generators, like coal and hydroelectric plants or gas turbines, are connected directly to the grid via heavy spinning machines.
Dutch cybersecurity experts have been closely monitoring a major power outage affecting Spain and Portugal, raising concerns about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure. Initially, there were fears that a cyberattack could be behind the widespread disruptions. However, Spain’s grid operator has since confirmed that the outage was not caused by a cyberattack.
While Spanish authorities have attributed the outage to weather-related factors, experts in the Netherlands cautioned that similar issues with critical infrastructure could be caused by cyberattacks. Dave Maasland, director of the cybersecurity firm ESET, emphasized the growing risk of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure. He warned that power grids remain vulnerable to such attacks, even if the current outage was not caused by one.
“A cyberattack on power infrastructure is not science fiction,” Maasland said. “Attacks on power supplies are possible and have already caused disruptions in the past.”
He pointed to several examples of cyberattacks on power grids, including the 2015 attack by Russian hackers that disabled power systems in western Ukraine. A similar attack occurred in Kyiv in 2016. More recently, a cyberattack on Ukraine’s power grid was narrowly avoided in 2022, after Russia’s invasion. Maasland described the malware used in these attacks as a “digital hand grenade,” designed to not only disrupt power but also destroy critical systems, complicating recovery efforts.

This is interesting:
It now takes 121 ounces of gold or 3.4kg to buy the median-priced new single-family home in the United States, the least in 12 years.
This is down from ~280 ounces required in Q4 2022.
2001. This comes as gold prices have risen 66% over the last 2 years to over $3,300/oz. Meanwhile, the median sale price of a new home came at $403,600 in March. Gold has helped investors preserve purchasing power.
Gold continues to make history:
Gold prices have outpaced the S&P 500 by 32.6 percentage points year-to-date, the most since at least 1975.
This has surpassed the record of ~26.0 percentage points for the same period of the year during 2020.
rallied 26.5% while the S&P 500 has declined 6.1% so far this year. Gold is now on track for its second consecutive year of S&P 500 outperformance. Since the October 2022 low, gold prices have returned 102%, nearly DOUBLING S&P 500’s gain of 54%. Keep watching gold.
more! It is much more important that everyone stay in Washington this week to work hard and fast on all of it – IT MUST BE DONE. We will unleash Economic Prosperity, and accelerate into the Golden Age of America. You will be missed, but your work is far too important to take any time off. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

President Donald Trump expressed some sympathy for President Zelensky, who he says is now approaching negotiations with a “calmer” and better attitude, stating he has now come round to Trump’s position that Crimea is already lost and will be a price for peace.
“I think the meeting went well”, said President Donald Trump after disembarking from Marine One on Sunday evening not long after returning to the United States from Vatican City and Rome, where he had honoured the late Pope but also had an impromptu discussion with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.

VAST areas of Spain and Portugal have been hit by catastrophic power outages, plunging whole cities into blackouts that officials say could last a week.
The roads of Spain, Portugal and parts of France snarled up with traffic as lights and signals stopped working – with emergency officers drafted in to battle the bedlam.
Some hospitals cancelled all surgeries for Monday amid fears for patient safety in the region’s most severe blackout for years.
Shoppers descended on shops to stockpile groceries, with hour-long waits at the tills.
Spain’s train service came to a complete stop, leaving huge crowds stranded at stations, and Madrid’s underground network was evacuated.
Air traffic was slashed to “half capacity” as flights were cancelled from a number of airports – with Lisbon not accepting any arrivals until 3:30pm.
Portuguese Ministry of Internal Administration said it is not ruling out a cyberattack as the possible cause.
The Spanish Cybersecurity Coordination Office says it is “too early” to determine the root, but is also reportedly investigating the possibility of a cyber attack.
ls urged drivers to stay off the roads, and the Valencia metro announced it had suspended its entire service.

The massive power outage in Spain and Portugal on April 28, 2025, was caused by a “very strong oscillation” in the electrical network, leading Spain’s power system to disconnect from the European grid and triggering a collapse of the Iberian electricity network around 12:38 PM local time. Portuguese grid operator REN attributed the issue to a “rare atmospheric phenomenon” caused by extreme temperature variations in Spain’s interior, which induced “anomalous oscillations” in high-voltage (400 kV) lines, leading to synchronization failures across the interconnected European network.
A post on X suggested that Spain’s high solar power production at noon, combined with a wildfire under a main power line in the Pyrenees, may have disrupted electricity exports to France, causing a cascading grid failure. However, this claim lacks corroboration from official sources and remains speculative. Eduardo Prieto, director of Spain’s grid operator Red Eléctrica, confirmed the oscillation but didn’t specify its cause, and investigations into possibilities like cyberattacks were ongoing, with no conclusive evidence found.
Some rather surprising news out of Washington. D.C., Monday morning, as Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) announced that he will not be seeking reelection in 2026. More significantly in the near term, he will be stepping back from leadership and stepping down as the ranking member of the Oversight Committee.
Unfortunately, the reason for Connolly’s announcement is that his cancer has returned.
