🚨 HOLY SMOKES: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just revealed that the Chinese said during their closed-door talks that they IGNORED their trade commitments under Biden because they knew he was weak.

"The Chinese delegation basically told us that once President Biden came into office, they just ignored their obligations."

"We had an excellent trade agreement with China and the Biden administration chose not to enforce it."

Biden's people totally screwed over our country in MANY ways. Weakness on the world stage caused massive damage.

This analysis of why most movies suck now cracked me up:

“The era of Woke was defined by passionate identity politics but dispassionate creativity and regard for source material.

In the wake of Woke, we are now in the era of Slop, which is just dispassionate entirely.

Slop content is colorful, shiny, and new, but feels like a copy of a copy of a copy. Slop is low effort content that makes and leaves no impression, has no meaning or cultural impact, is basically watchable but has no rewatchability, and no one involves cares.

It is high energy but without intensity. It has a huge budget and vast resources, and squanders them. Slop is about producing content for the sake of having something for sale. It supposes that mainstream viewers are comfortable with tired tropes and cliches and that much of the audience is young and dumb enough to not register them as tropes and cliches.

Slop happens because studios don’t understand why a certain IP works or why it got popular, and don’t properly understand the audience or when to call it quits or who to put in charge.

Slop is a result of second-screen (phone) engagement becoming a typical part of media consumption. Instead of fighting it, companies are now designing content around the assumption that audiences won’t be fully paying attention.”
