OEMs work behind the scenes to make the products that another company then sells under its own brand.</p><p>“Why don’t you just contact us and buy from us? You won’t believe the prices we (will) give you,” he said in one clip.</p><p>His video was later taken down by the app. In the meantime, though, DHgate, an online wholesale store infamous for selling Chinese dupes of luxury goods, has shot to #2 on the US Apple app store. Another app, Taobao, China’s OG e-commerce site, is at #7.</p><p>It’s highly improbable that these are real suppliers for brands like Lululemon and Chanel, multiple experts told CNN. Legitimate manufacturers usually sign non-disclosure agreements, so it’s unlikely that these creators are selling the real thing.</p></blockquote><p>Or they’re desperate enough to try, regardless. Who knows? So caveat emptor.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>CUT THE RED TAPE WITH MILEI’S CHAINSAW: Restrictive and Sometimes Ludicrous Regulations Are Stifling</title> <link>https://instapundit.com/714847/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Stephen Green]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 19:19:54 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://instapundit.com/?p=714847</guid> <description><![CDATA[CUT THE RED TAPE WITH MILEI’S CHAINSAW: Restrictive and Sometimes Ludicrous Regulations Are Stifling the Revolution in Nuclear Reactors.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CUT THE RED TAPE WITH MILEI’S CHAINSAW: <a href="https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2025/04/16/restrictive-and-somethimes-ludicrous-regulations-are-stifling-the-revolution-in-nuclear-reactors-n4938953">Restrictive and Sometimes Ludicrous Regulations Are Stifling the Revolution in Nuclear Reactors.</a></p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>THIS IS WHAT “GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA,” A FAVORITE SLOGAN OF HAMASNIKS, LOOKS LIKE: Suspect in Shapir</title> <link>https://instapundit.com/714860/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[David Bernstein]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 19:09:35 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://instapundit.com/?p=714860</guid> <description><![CDATA[THIS IS WHAT “GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA,” A FAVORITE SLOGAN OF HAMASNIKS, LOOKS LIKE: Suspect in Shapiro arson attack cited plight of Palestinians.

The world also remembers that China and the Chinese-controlled WHO lied repeatedly about the origins and spread of the virus.</p><p>The global public may recall that China stopped all domestic flights out of Wuhan on the internal news of the lab leak of the virus, while for days greenlighting nonstop air travel to major European and American cities. The world now accepts that China will never explain exactly when the virus appeared, how it “escaped” from the lab, why it was created in the first place, why Beijing repeatedly lied about all such inquiries, and what happened to an array of whistleblowers who warned of the leak.</p><p>China’s so-called allies, such as Russia and India, have historical grievances and ongoing border disputes fueled by Chinese aggression.</p><p>NATO, the EU, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the US also are curious as to why China is using its vast foreign exchange not to lift about a quarter of its population out of third-world-level poverty. Instead, it is frantically building 3-4 nuclear bombs a month, a 700-ship navy, and 2,500 combat aircraft as it ratchets up pressure on Taiwan.</p><p>The complexities of trade and tariffs present all sorts of minefields. But the Trump administration is beginning to navigate them, and its trajectory is rather simple. In the next 90 days, it will likely conclude trade deals with our allies and third parties that bring either tariff parity or no tariffs at all that will reduce the U.S. trade deficit.</p><p>Of course, our allies and neutrals still use stealth tariffs to ensure advantage by money manipulation, VAT taxes, and pseudo-health and security impediments to free trade. And they deeply resent the Trump administration’s loud denunciations of their surpluses and asymmetrical tariffs. But those machinations can be addressed later in round two after tariff reciprocity or elimination is finalized.</p><p>For now, Trump should persuade our allies that if they were not so subject to Chinese mercantilism, they would have more flexibility to ensure fair trade with the U.S. And thus, they should not do something self-destructive and side with China but instead join the U.S. to force China to keep its long-broken promises and play by international rules. A reduced import footprint from China in the U.S. could make room for increased imports from the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan—if they strike parity deals with the Trump administration. Barring that, they should simply get out of the way and not opportunistically cut reformist trade deals with China.</p><p>If China really does reduce most of its exports to the U.S., America will have to scramble for a year or so to establish new supply chains and some alternate importers of U.S. products. But after a year of gradual dislocation, China will begin to hemorrhage, and then quite suddenly, given the U.S. has almost all the advantages—if it chooses to use them.</p></blockquote><p>Flashback to November of 2019: <a href="https://harrisbricken.com/chinalawblog/how-to-conduct-business-with-chinese-companies-that-see-a-dark-future/">How to Conduct Business with Chinese Companies That See a Dark Future</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>FASTER, PLEASE: ‘DELETE DELETE DELETE’: Trump’s Mass Deregulation Push About to Launch.</title> <link>https://instapundit.com/714793/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Glenn Reynolds]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 16:16:17 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://instapundit.com/?p=714793</guid> <description><![CDATA[FASTER, PLEASE: ‘DELETE DELETE DELETE’: Trump’s Mass Deregulation Push About to Launch.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FASTER, PLEASE: <A HREF="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2025/04/15/delete-delete-delete-trumps-mass-deregulation-push-about-to-launch-n3801817">‘DELETE DELETE DELETE’: Trump’s Mass Deregulation Push About to Launch.</A></p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>THAT’S A START: Happy Tax Day!

The bomber was no foreigner. He was not from the Middle East. He was <a href="https://thehill.com/people/timothy-mcveigh/">Timothy McVeigh,</a> a lanky white American from upstate New York.</p><p>McVeigh nursed numerous grievances about the federal government. He was outraged by the deadly assault by federal agents in 1993 to end a <a href="https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/waco-siege">weeks-long siege near Waco</a>, Texas, at the compound of the Branch Davidian cult. McVeigh timed his attack on the nine-story Murrah building to coincide with the second anniversary of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CBSNews/videos/april-19-1993-the-waco-siege/2205797426274832/">fiery end</a> to the standoff in Waco, in which 76 Branch Davidians were killed.</p><p>According to his <a href="https://www.amazon.com/American-Terrorist-Timothy-McVeigh-Oklahoma/dp/0060394072">biographers</a>, McVeigh was neither a leader nor a member of an extremist hate group or of a self-styled paramilitary militia. Contrary to a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1995/04/23/us/terror-oklahoma-overview-fbi-hunts-2d-bombing-suspect-seeks-links-far-right-rain.html?pagewanted=all">report</a> four days after the Oklahoma City attack, there was no “broader plot behind the bombing” nor was there “a conspiracy hatched by several self-styled militiamen who oppose gun laws, income taxes and other forms of government control.”</p></blockquote><p>And then there was Bill Clinton’s shameful exploitation of the bombing, as Byron York wrote 15 years ago this month: <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/1680767/how-clinton-exploited-oklahoma-city-for-political-gain/">How Clinton exploited Oklahoma City for political gain</a>.</p><blockquote><p>Later, under the heading “How to use extremism as issue against Republicans,” [Dick] Morris told Clinton that “direct accusations” of extremism wouldn’t work because the Republicans were not, in fact, extremists. Rather, Morris recommended what he called the “ricochet theory.” Clinton would “stimulate national concern over extremism and terror,” and then, “when issue is at top of national agenda, suspicion naturally gravitates to Republicans.” As that happened, Morris recommended, Clinton would use his executive authority to impose “intrusive” measures against so-called extremist groups. Clinton would explain that such intrusive measures were necessary to prevent future violence, knowing that his actions would, Morris wrote, “provoke outrage by extremist groups who will write their local Republican congressmen.” Then, if members of Congress complained, that would “link right-wing of the party to extremist groups.” The net effect, Morris concluded, would be “self-inflicted linkage between [GOP] and extremists.”</p><p>Clinton’s proposals — for example, new limits on firearms and some explosives that were opposed by the National Rifle Association — had “an underlying political purpose,” Morris wrote in 2004 in another book about Clinton, <em>Because He Could</em>. That purpose was “to lead voters to identify the Oklahoma City bombing with the right wing. By making proposals we knew the Republicans would reject…we could label them as soft on terror an imply a connection with the extremism of the fanatics who bombed the Murrah Federal Building.”</p><p>It was a political strategy crafted while rescue and recovery efforts were still underway in Oklahoma City. And it worked better than Clinton or Morris could have predicted.</p></blockquote><p>Democrats would repeat that playbook in 2011 after an apolitical lunatic shot Gabrielle Giffords, and the entire DNC-MSM nexus <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2012/01/remembering-giffords-shooting-and-the-reaction/">immediately blamed Sarah Palin and the Tea Party</a>.</p><p>UPDATE: <a href="https://redstate.com/brad-essex/2025/04/16/essex-files-sarah-palin-liberals-most-hated-try-to-make-the-times-pay-for-reckless-article-n2187920">Sarah Palin Gets Another Crack at Making the <em>New York Times</em> Pay for Reckless Article</a>.</p><p>MORE: John Nolte: <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/04/16/oklahoma-city-bombing-review-compelling-netflix-doc-takes-us-back-to-a-dreadful-day/"><em>Oklahoma City Bombing</em> Review: Compelling Netflix Doc Takes Us Back to a Dreadful Day</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>FACE, MEET PALMSKI: Russia Reveals They Control Drones From Atop School For Psychics.

What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”</p><p>William Roper: “Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!”</p><p>Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!”</p><p>Spoiler alert: More wound up separated from his head shortly thereafter, first placed on a pike on London Bridge and later in a casket, which his daughter Margaret and her family kept for many years as the ultimate <em>memento mori</em>. It’s a pretty speech but are the sentiments expressed in it correct? As former Justice Arthur Goldberg wrote in 1963: “the Constitution is not a suicide pact.” In this, he echoed Justice Robert Jackson’s opinion in a 1949 case that “there is danger that, if the court does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact.” Jackson knew whereof he spoke, having been one of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_H._Jackson">lead prosecutors</a> of National Socialist German Workers Party war criminals at Nuremberg.</p></blockquote><p>Read the whole thing.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>PRESIDENT XINIS OVERRULES TRUMP: A Federal Judge Just Threatened the Trump Administration.</title> <link>https://instapundit.com/714824/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Charlie Martin]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 14:49:50 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://instapundit.com/?p=714824</guid> <description><![CDATA[PRESIDENT XINIS OVERRULES TRUMP: A Federal Judge Just Threatened the Trump Administration.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PRESIDENT XINIS OVERRULES TRUMP: <a href="https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/04/15/a-federal-judge-just-threatened-the-trump-administration-n4938939">A Federal Judge Just Threatened the Trump Administration</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>BEEGE WELBORN: Taking on Teddy’s Strip at the Border.

Until recently, Khamenei was unwilling to consider making the concessions necessary for an agreement. But the pressure on Khamenei’s regime—both external and domestic—has grown to the point that he had no choice but to retreat.</p><p>During the past year, Iran’s so-called Axis of Resistance, a coalition of pro-Tehran militias across the Middle East, has been crushed by Israeli strikes on Lebanon’s Hezbollah and American strikes on Yemen’s Houthis. The Syrian revolution that brought down Bashar al-Assad, Khamenei’s close ally, further eroded the Iranian leader’s strategy of “forward defense”—which is to say, relying on its Arab proxies to keep its adversaries away from the homeland. Meanwhile, Trump has also bolstered America’s presence in the Persian Gulf, suggesting to Khamenei that military attacks on Iranian soil are the most likely alternative to negotiations.</p><p>Inside Iran, public discontent with the regime’s political repression and economic mismanagement has grown. Many in the Iranian establishment are making ever more explicit demands for an end to their country’s isolation.</p><p>In a remarkable display of elite dissatisfaction, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, Mohammad Bagheri, commemorated the Iranian New Year holidays earlier this month by shooting a video message outside Persepolis, the seat of the First Persian Empire, which dates back to the sixth century B.C.E. Bagheri expressed hope that Iran could follow “the same ideals” he had witnessed in the ancient monument: “peace, calm, friendship, and brotherhood with other nations.” Such a statement from Iran’s top soldier was unprecedented.</p></blockquote><p>Was that message tacitly approved by Khamenei or is Iran’s regular military (not the Revolutionary Guard) sending a message of its own?</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Dems Are So Desperate They Pulled Biden Out From Under the Bus. “The MSM</title> <link>https://instapundit.com/714688/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Stephen Green]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 13:07:54 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://instapundit.com/?p=714688</guid> <description><![CDATA[KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Dems Are So Desperate They Pulled Biden Out From Under the Bus. “The MSM lap dogs’ coverage of the speech was a prime example of the Left’s ability to forget recent history when it’s inconvenient for them.

Why do we have three white elephants in the fleet? Why, four decades after the end of the Cold War, are all our tactical aircraft derived from Cold War era designs? Why, when we find ourselves needing the ability for submarines to be able to lay mines and fire anti-ship cruise missiles, the submarines that we have in production can do neither?</p><p>Simple, a mindset. A self-destructive mindset that not only thinks it knows what the future is, it is terrified into paralysis to do anything to prepare for it today. If you take arrogance and blend it with insecurity, you about have it.</p><p>The US military can be a learning institution. The US Navy and USAF years ago decided to part ways for their next fighter aircraft. In a way, it is a confession of what most will admit in hushed tones: we don’t want a repeat of the less-than-optimal result from the F-35A/B/C. In the end analysis, the product was the result of a cascading series of compromises that begat the flawed but still pretty good.</p><p>We were lucky in that history gave us a bit of a holiday from serious competition.</p></blockquote><p>The holiday is over — and do read the whole thing. </p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>WELL, BYE: Morning Greatness: 20,000 IRS workers take Trump buyout offer.</title> <link>https://instapundit.com/714810/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Glenn Reynolds]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 12:35:19 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://instapundit.com/?p=714810</guid> <description><![CDATA[WELL, BYE: Morning Greatness: 20,000 IRS workers take Trump buyout offer.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WELL, BYE: <A HREF="https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/16/morning-greatness-20000-irs-workers-take-trump-buyout-offer/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=63816">Morning Greatness: 20,000 IRS workers take Trump buyout offer.</A></p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>DON SURBER: Harvard University, Welfare Queen. “I cannot see how a demand that Harvard end its rac</title> <link>https://instapundit.com/714807/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Glenn Reynolds]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 12:34:16 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://instapundit.com/?p=714807</guid> <description><![CDATA[DON SURBER: Harvard University, Welfare Queen. “I cannot see how a demand that Harvard end its racial discrimination violates the college’s First Amendment rights, so let’s try to figure this out.”]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DON SURBER: <a href="https://donsurber.substack.com/p/harvard-welfare-queen">Harvard University, Welfare Queen.</a> “I cannot see how a demand that Harvard end its racial discrimination violates the college’s First Amendment rights, so let’s try to figure this out.”</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>GOVERNMENT WASTE IS WILDLY EXAGG– https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1912355571875082427</title> <link>https://instapundit.com/714805/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Glenn Reynolds]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Apr 2025 12:33:34 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://instapundit.com/?p=714805</guid> <description><![CDATA[GOVERNMENT WASTE IS WILDLY EXAGG– Twice as many credit cards are issued and active than the total number of government employees!

Amid a wave of anti-Semitic protests following the Hamas attack on Israel, the two firms warned Harvard Law and others that they would cut back on recruiting on their campuses for failing to rein in anti-Semitic incidents.</p><p>The edit logs show Avachat changed the term “antisemitic incidents” to “pro-Palestine protests,” and reworded references to “incidents targeting Jewish students” to incidents that the law firms “described … as antisemitic.” Avachat herself was involved in one incident at Harvard in which her law school classmate, Ibrahim Bharmal, accosted and shoved a Jewish student during an anti-Israel “die-in.” Avachat said she witnessed the incident and claimed Bharmal was protecting “peaceful protesters” against an “aggressive” Jewish student.

Dozens of people were detained at memorials, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW) and other rights groups.</p><p>Over his storied political career, Navalny generated some of the largest anti-government demonstrations in recent years, and unfurled corruption at Russia’s highest seat of power, under the FBK.</p><p>Navalny died suddenly at the age of 47 on February 16, 2024, while serving a 19-year sentence on extremism charges he denied. At the time, Russia’s prison service claimed he “felt unwell after a walk.”</p></blockquote><p>It’s a shame that groups like Amnesty blew their credibility by endorsing every leftwing cause, embracing TDS, etc because it detracts from when they try to shed light on authoritarian abuses like the Kremlin’s. </p>]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
