It is actually insane how many people I know who have died from a turbo cancer in the past few years! 😩 They can keep gaslighting us, but anyone with half a brain can put two and two together.

More young Australians are being diagnosed with cancers once thought to affect mostly older people. Doctors say environmental factors may be to blame, as one woman bravely shares her story, hoping to spark change.

The claim comes from an anonymous "very reliable source" in the original post. No official statements, leaks, or media reports (ABC, CNN, The Australian, etc.) confirm any Australian govt tasking of the 2nd Commando Regiment for Syria extraction plans on ISIS brides/families. Recent events: Albanese explicitly said no assistance or repatriation for the 34 (11 women + 23 kids) who tried self-exiting Al-Roj camp Feb 16 but were turned back. Past returns (2022+) were limited, via Kurdish/diplomatic channels only—no military ops noted. Unverified rumor.

I’m hearing from a very reliable source that the 2nd Commando Regiment, part of the Australian Army’s Special Operations Command, were tasked by the @AlboMP government some time ago to work up plans to go into Syria and recover the so called ‘ISIS brides’ & their family members back to Australia. Doesn’t quite sound like the government had no part in plans for their return.

We rag on the Canadians a lot but overall the most insufferable of the Anglo nations is probably New Zealand. Beautiful country but politically deranged, like if Oregon was an independent nation.

Friday 10:00 AM: SCOTUS strikes down Trump’s tariffs. Friday 1:00 PM: Trump uses a law from 1974 that allows him to keep tariffs in place plus an across the board 10% increase. Saturday 11:00 AM: Trump announces that tariffs will be increased to 15% worldwide. Checkmate!

You truly do not have a brain capable of independent thought and research do you? Why is it that people like you need to use grok as a crutch? You don't even review the answers to your own questions. Read my response again and use what little amount of brain matter you have in that thick skull of yours.

U.S. manufacturing employment declined by roughly 103,000 jobs from Jan 2025 to Jan 2026 per revised BLS data, during the period of major tariff actions. The U.S. sources over 90% of rare-earth processing from China, key for defense tech like magnets in jets and munitions; the administration is addressing this via stockpiles and deals with allies like Australia. Multiple reciprocal trade agreements have been reached since 2025, including finalized pacts with Indonesia, India, China, UK, and Japan covering tariffs and market access.

@CWILLIS11 @grok @1Nicdar I’ll let @grok deal with the bias allegations itself. My other points remain sound: manufacturing jobs have shrunk since Trump imposed tariffs. The US military relies on China for key supplies (and will lose any conflict with that country). Also Trump has made no trade deals.

It's correct in your own feeble mind. First, you had to use Grok to think for you, which is your first problem. Second, you understand nothing about Macroeconomics. Third, the trade deals made by past Presidents over the last 50+ years have been ludicrous and and ridiculously lopsided. Economists were warning what this would do to our economy for years until most of them decided to go full blow Socialist Fourth, this is about long term gains and increasing manufacturing here in America which will be a hugely beneficial effect in the long term. Fifth, along with cutting spending, especially the waste and fraud will help reduce our national debt which is in a serious crises right now. Our dollar is losing value faster because it the reckless spending of both parties for decades. Gold and Silver are skyrocketing for this very reason. Last, do a modicum of your own research before you show how ignorant you are on this subject next time instead of letting Grok do your thinking for you. Grok is wrong and biased much of the time.

So do ya think maybe, just maybe, Trump used the weakest tariff authorization possible from the start, knowing the system would come at him and try to reestablish economic control, just so he could get that one bad decision behind him and gear up tariffs with the statutes that matter? They have zero chance of successfully challenging the other tariff rules. Seems pretty Trumpish. Phil Godlewski

China has restricted rare earth exports to the US during 2025 trade tensions (per Telegraph reports on tariff responses), using supply as leverage. No verified blanket policy halts all supply specifically over stockpiling. Project Vault (announced Feb 2, 2026; $12B via EXIM/private funds) builds commercial reserves of critical minerals for short-term buffers during shocks—e.g., ~60-day coverage per Reuters/CSIS—while anchoring demand for allied/non-China sources. Domestic ramps (USA Rare Earth: late 2028 start; MP Materials expansion) add longer-term capacity over 3–7+ years per industry timelines. It mitigates risks without full decoupling.

@grok @CWILLIS11 @1Nicdar The US can’t stockpile rare earths because if it does, China’s policy is to cease all supply (Telegraph) Even if Project Vault is implemented, its effects won’t be seen for a decade at best.

Data from BLS and analyses (Reuters, Cato, JEC) show US manufacturing employment dropped ~108k in 2025 after tariff rollouts, amid higher input costs for downstream industries—though automation and demand shifts play roles too. US military depends heavily on China for rare earths/gallium (90%+ processing), but Trump admin's Project Vault stockpiles, domestic projects (e.g., Montana output 2026), and allied deals aim to diversify supply chains long-term. Deals differ: USMCA is a binding ratified treaty with enforcement; Phase One had enforceable IP/tech-transfer rules (partially implemented) but purchase targets were goals, met ~40%. Trade-offs exist—short-term costs vs strategic leverage.

@grok @CWILLIS11 @1Nicdar Except - 1. The policy has reduced manufacturing jobs; 2. The US military will never be able to operate without supplies from China 3. Trump’s “trade deals” are merely non-binding statements of intent. Reality matters.

Many Trump supporters acknowledge tariffs raise costs for US importers and consumers—analyses from the NY Fed, Kiel Institute, and others show ~90% of the 2025 burden fell domestically, with foreign exporters absorbing ~10% via modest price cuts. They support the policy for its strategic upsides: protecting manufacturing jobs in key sectors, bolstering national security by reducing reliance on rivals like China, and creating leverage for fairer trade deals. Supporters weigh these long-term gains against short-term costs differently than critics do.

Yes, tariffs are a tax paid by US importers (American firms), who pass most costs to US consumers through higher prices. Recent NY Fed analysis of 2025 tariffs found US firms/consumers bear ~90% of the burden, with foreign exporters absorbing ~10% by cutting prices slightly. Multiple studies (Kiel Institute, CFR) confirm the same pattern from 2018 onward.
