Florence, Italy…Niccolò Machiavelli 3 May 1469 – 21 June 1527 Author of The Prince. This widely read treatise on power offers an amoral look at power. Advice hopefully not always followed but recognised nonetheless.
“It is much safer to be feared than loved because …love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.”
“The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.”
“The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.”
“If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.”
“Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.”
“Never attempt to win by force what can be won by deception.”
“Never was anything great achieved without danger.”
“Before all else, be armed.”

Democrats May meeting cancelled.
To all Calaveras County Democrats, please be advised this month’s democrat meeting has been cancelled. We are sorry for the short notice but we are having this month meeting in Ohio, right now as a matter of fact. Got to run…
A conference for MAPs, or “minor-attracted persons,” traditionally known as pedophiles, is set to take place in Ohio from May 2-4. The goal of the concerned is to teach attendees how to become “empowered to work confidently and affirmingly with MAPs.” The conference is being run by B4U-ACT, a non-profit from Maryland.
Thanks Bernie
To all Calaveras Republicans. Especially those that have given into Trump and forfeited their spines. Sorry I wont be attending. I’ll be at a MAGA, or “Making America Go Astray” convention. The goal is to have every attendee receive a handjob from Lauren Boebert, Republican Congressperson and movie theatre maven. The conference is being run by OU812, a non profit from JD Vances hometown of Vladivastok.
And don’t forget to vote for Tim Walz for our next pedophile presidential nominee for the next dimocrat nominee. Maybe next time the Hamacrat voters will actually get a say in who we want after getting our asses kicked out of the WH, the Senate and the House.While Trump and Vance are Making America Great Again!!!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Here’s more insult to injury to the party of hate and violence.
Over EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS SECURED BY MAGA PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO BRING MANUFACTORING BACK TO THE USA.
As of May 1st 2025
“President Trump secures $8 trillion in U.S. investments from top CEOs like Apple and NVIDIA, driving job creation and manufacturing. His tariff and tax policies fuel this historic economic surge, promising prosperity for American workers.”
Just in the last week alone, our Commander In Chief has secured over TWO TRILLION DOLLARS from CEOs in bringing businesses, manufacturing and jobs to the USA.
Johnson & Johnson: On Friday, Johnson & Johnson announced manufacturing, research and development, and technology investments of more than $55 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. They say it represents a 25 percent increase in investment compared to the previous four years under President Joe Biden, crediting an increase in investment levels to the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Also on Friday, the company broke ground on a 500,000-square-foot biologics manufacturing facility in Wilson, North Carolina.
SoftBank: On Monday, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago and announced a $100 billion investment over the next four years with a promise to create 100,000 jobs focused on artificial intelligence and related infrastructure, according to CNBC.
United Arab Emirates: After a meeting with Trump, the United Arab Emirates committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion agreement with the U.S. that will sustain existing investments in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing, according to Reuters.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company: Semiconductor giant TSMC announced earlier this month in response to Trump’s tariffs threat on foreign chips that it would invest another $100 billion into its U.S. operations. The anticipated new chip fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a new research and design center will increase the company’s total investment in Phoenix to $165 billion—the largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history.
Apple: Tech giant Apple announced a $500 billion investment.
Nvidia: On Thursday, the White House announced that chipmaker Nvidia would invest hundreds of billions of dollars over the next four years in U.S.-based manufacturing.
More great news for all Americans, because the Man has a plan, unlike the last dictator and dementia patient…well good news for Americans who want to work and be successful.
Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern. And that’s where we sit with economic reports under President Trump. The April jobs report shattered industry expectations, adding 177,000 jobs. The Bureau of Labor Statistics print even beat the highest Wall Street forecast of 171,000 jobs.
“We’ve created 350,000 new jobs and brought core inflation down to its lowest level in many, many years,” Trump said in his commencement address at the University of Alabama.
The assessment of the National Association of Realtors will be music to the president’s ears: “Income growth is outpacing consumer price inflation. Regardless of what may be happening on Wall Street … Main Street America continues to move forward.” Perhaps no better indicator of that lies in the native versus foreign-born worker comparison. In April, more than one million native-born workers were added to the labor force, as more than 400,000 foreign born left.
“For the first time in recent memory, job gains for native-born Americans now exceed job gains for foreign workers,” Trump declared in Macomb County, Michigan Tuesday evening.
In fact, native-born workers have fueled more than 97% of the job growth seen under Trump. That stands in stark contrast with former President Joe Biden’s economic measures. Under Biden native-born workers only accounted for 56% of job growth.
The report saw a 305,000 increase in full-time workers and a 56,000 increase in part-time workers. More than 95% of all jobs added under Trump have come from the private sector.
“I’m proud to be the president for the workers and not the outsourcers,” Trump said Tuesday. “A president who stands up for Main Street, not Wall Street.”
To cap it off, jobs in the federal government declined again in April for the fourth month in a row.
The bottom line is this: Trump’s March jobs report, Trump’s March Consumer Price Index report, and Trump’s March Producer Price Index report all beat industry expectations. Now April’s jobs report has done so. Beating expectations is no longer a coincidence for this White House.
