TRUMP'S BEST MOVE SINCE TAKING OFFICE

By Howie Katz

 

Left: Out - Right: In

 

 

President Trump has removed Barack Obama's portrait in the White House and replaced it with a picture of himself pumping his fist after the assassination attempt on his life.

 

This is, without a doubt, the best move Trump has made since taking office.

THOSE CRAZY 104% TARIFFS ON IMPORTED GOODS FROM CHINA

 By Howie Katz

 

  

Car parts imported from China

 

Trump's 104% tariff on goods imported from China will cost Americans a pretty penny. Especially hard-hit will be the American car industry.

The car manufacturers, including Ford, General Motors, Stellantis (formerly Chrysler) and Elon Musk's Tesla, will have no choice but to keep importing foreign car parts because without them they would be left with only the shells of cars. That also applies to the foreign brands like Honda and Toyota that are manufactured in the United States.

That 104% tariff will cause the price of cars to rocket sky high. Most Americans will not be able to afford a new car.

 

Elon Musk's Tesla is made up mostly of Chinese-made parts

 

Because of the tariffs which he opposes, Elon Musk personally lost billions in the market. He called Trump's top trade adviser Peter Navarro a "moron" and "dumber than a sack of bricks."

Trump expects that his tariffs will establish new plants and produce many jobs in this country. But experts believe it will be two years before that can happen. Meanwhile Americans will be stuck with higher prices on just about everything they buy..

And those sky rocketing car prices will force the car industry to cut way back on the production of cars. That will cause thousands of American workers to lose their jobs.

That 104% tariff is crazy or Trump is crazy ... or both. 

TRUMP INCLUDES THE HEARD AND MCDONALD ISLANDS ON HIS TARIFFS LIST ... THE ISLANDERS ARE REALY PISSED OFF

By Howie Katz

 

 

President Trump included the Heard and McDonald islands in the Indian Ocean among the counties subjected to his tariffs. The trouble is that the islands do not have any human inhabitants and are populated only by penguins.

 

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that “So basically he (Trump) said, ‘Look, I can’t let any part of the world be a place where China or other countries can ship through them.’ “ 

 

McDonald islanders protest against Trump's tariff

 

President Trump and Vice President Vance try to explain the tariffs to the Heard Island ambassador 

 

The only humans to set foot on the islands are the occasional tourists who stay no more than a couple of hours while they pose for photographs with the penguins.

 

The Heard and McDonald islanders are really pissed off and declared that because of Trump's tariffs they were going to take their business elsewhere.

US Marines landed on a beach near Greenland's capital city Nuuk on Tuesday morning. They did not meet any resistance until they entered Nuuk. A brief battle ensued with the capital city's 36-man police force. 

The brave Nuuk cops with their pistols were no match against the Marines with their powerful weaponry. They surrendered after seven of them were killed and 17 wounded. The Marines did not suffer any casualties.

President trump called it "Liberation Day" for Greenland. "From now on Greenland will be a territory of the United States," the President declared. 

This is an ongoing event and we will report the details as they come in.

TRUMP'S 25% TARIFF ON IMPORTED CARS AND AUTO PARTS

 By Howie Katz

 

 

Auto parts on American cars that are imported mostly from China

 

Trump's 25% tariff on imported cars and auto parts is designed to get Americans to purchase American-made cars instead of foreign imports and to boost jobs in the auto industry. But it ain't a gonna do that.

That tariff is going to cost Americans more, not just for foreign imports, but for American cars as well. That's because most of the auto parts on American cars are imported, mostly from China.

The tariff on auto parts is not going to impact what there is of the auto parts industry in this country. With the high cost of labor, it is far cheaper to import car parts from China than it is to manufacture them here, the cost of shipping and the 25% tariff notwithstanding.

For example, take the container cranes in our ports. It costs a small fortune to ship these huge cranes to the United States from China.

 

A special freighter carrying container cranes from Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Company Limited is pictured on a 72-day voyage headed for Houston's new Bayport Container Terminal, July 2023

 

Yet it costs far less to manufacture these cranes in China and ship them to the United States than it would cost to make them in this country. And the 25% tariff won't change that.

It's the high cost of labor in this country that has led to auto parts being made in China and for some American-brand cars and trucks to be made in Mexico. 

With an expected price increase of $6,000 for a Japanese or Korean import, President Trump says that Americans will switch to buying American-made cars. That may be wishful thinking.

Brand-loyalty will probably keep Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Volkswagen drivers from switching to American brands. They'll just wait longer before buying a new car. 

It should also be noted that foreign carmakers have plants in the United States while American carmakers have plants in Mexico and China.

So, all that Trump's 25% tariff on imported cars and auto parts will do, as well as the other tariffs he's imposed, is to raise the prices for what Americans purchase.

THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUNA HAS DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES

By Howie Katz

 

Note: In Texas marijuana is now legal for medical use

 

According to the AAA, after nicotine and alcohol, the legalization of marijuana has made cannabis the third most commonly used substance in the United States.

Some form of cannabis consumption is legal in 38 states. According to AAA, 24 states allow recreational use, while 14 states permit medical use only. 

In addition to the deleterious effects of marijuana on the individual users, the legalization of cannabis has threatened public safety. In states where the recreational use of cannabis is legal, there has been a significant increase in the use of marijuana. With the rise in cannabis use, researchers say impaired driving has become more common, leading to a heightened risk of crashes, injuries, and fatalities.      

The legalization of marijuana has consequences, none of which are good.

ALL OF HOUSTON SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY ASHAMED OF AL GREEN

By Howie Katz

 

Democratic Congressman Al Green of Houston interrupts President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of the United States Congress

 

Houston Democratic congressman Al Green had to be tossed out of the House chamber for interrupting Trump's address to Congress and the nation on Tuesday.

Green made a spectacle of himself by shouting repeatedly at Trump while waving his cane in the direction of the President.

It got so bad that House Speaker Mike Johnson was forced to direct the Sergeant at Arms to toss Green out of the chamber.

 

Green is escorted out of the House chamber as Trump addresses a joint session of Congress 

 

 

Green's disgraceful and disgusting behavior would have been acceptable at a professional wrestling match, but most certainly not at the President's address to Congress. 

Green follows in the footsteps of the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee as a colossal embarrassment to Houston.

 

All of Houston, not just the white residents, should be thoroughly ashamed of Al Green.

A 50TH BIRTHDAY PHOTO

By Howie Katz

 

 

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert used to be best pals, but in 2023 they had a falling out with MTG calling Lauren a "little bitch." They've been at each other's throats since.

Lst year MTG and her boyfriend Brian Glenn celebrated her 50th birthday together in Costa Rica.. One of the pictures Brian took was of MTG in a bikini.

 

 

When MTG saw the picture she was quite pleased, telling Brian, "Not bad for a 50-year-old one."

 

But when Lauren saw the picture, she said "Marjorie is a 50-year-old bitch trying to look like she's in her twenties. I'm going to show everyone what I look like in a bikini, and even though I'm 38, men will shit-can her picture when they see mine."

 

 

When MTG saw Lauren's bikini picture she was, for the first time, speechless. 

 

A BUNDLE OF DYNAMITE WAITING TO EXPLODE

By Howie Katz

 

There is sure to be an explosion between Trump and Musk

 

 

Today there was an unprecedented shouting match in the White House between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that ended either with Zelensky storming out of the White House or getting kicked out by Trump. 

That's nothing, though, when compared to the inevitable fallout between Trump and Elon Musk.

The two men are a bundle of dynamite waiting to explode.

 

Trump has given Musk extraordinary powers, to the extent that America is now governed by a copresidency. 

Because both Trump and Musk are ambitious egomaniacs, there is sure to be an explosion between the two men. The only question is ... when?

 

Sooner or later President Musk is bound to take some action that will embarrass and infuriate President Trump. Or Trump will do something that will infuriate Musk. In either case it's KABOOM.

 

If it's Musk that initiates the fallout, Trump's administration will end up in shambles and he will go down in history, not as one of the better presidents, but as one of the worst. 

 

When Americans elected Trump president, they voted for one president, not two, to lead them. The sooner Trump gets rid of Musk, the better. 

If Trump waits until it's Musk that initiates their fallout, he will suffer the consequences and they won't be pretty.

Trump will be best served if he conducts a peremptory strike by ending their relationship and kicking Musk out of his administration.

MY REPLY TO ELON MUSK'S EMAIL

By Howie Katz

 

Dear President Musk

I work in the Houston office of the Federal Waste Management Agency. Per your request, here is what I accomplished last week 

MONDAY: I watched a bunch of Reagan Foxx videos.

 

 

TUESDAY: I daydreamed about Reagan Foxx.

WEDNESDAY: I listened to my coworkers badmouthing you and President Trump. The also chanted "Fuck Musk and the Tesla he rode in on."

THURSDAY: I defended you and President Trump. Then I had to keep ducking as I was pelted by a bunch of tomatoes from the brown-bag lunches of my coworkers.

FRIDAY: I watched some more Reagan Foxx videos. I was joined by my manager. 

 

 

 

President Musk, as you can see, I was quite busy last week. And if you want to know which websites to watch Reagan Foxx videos on, I'll be glad to let you know.

THE MUSK HALF OF THE TRUMP-MUSK CO PRESIDENCY IS CRAZIER THAN A SHIT-HOUSE RAT

By Howie Katz

 

Elon Musk gave two million federal employees 48 hours to submit an email describing five specific things they had accomplished last week. Failure to submit the email would constitute a resignation from the job.

 

It's obvious that Musk is acting as if he were the president and he probably believes that he is. As long as Trump lets him get away with that, our country is governed by a copresidency.  

 

The Musk half of the Trum-Musk copresidency is crazier than a shit-house rat.

 

Who is going to read two million emails if they are submitted? And what's to prevent those employees from lying about their accomplishments?  

Reacting to the flack about Musk's email, Trump said "There was a lot of genius in sending it." He confirmed that employees would be fired if they failed to submit the demanded email.

 

Genius? No! Madness is the appropriate description.

 

 

Tulsi Gabbard has joined Kash Patel and a growing list of department heads who have said to ignore 'First Buddy' Elon Musk 's demand that federal workers explain what they accomplished last week

 

 

Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, has told the employees under her direction that they 'should not respond' to the email. And FBI Director Kash Patel has told his employees to ignore Musk's email. Furthermore, almost all federal department heads have told their employees not to respond to the email.

 

There can be only one president at a time, which is not the case our country is now experiencing. We elected Trump, not Musk, to be our president. Trump needs to end the copresidency by sending Musk packing like yesterday.

NO MERCY FOR HAMAS TERRORISTS AND THEIR PALESTINIAN SUPPORTERS IN GAZA AND THE WEST BANK

By Howie Katz

Feb 20, 2025

 

 

Mom Shiri, toddler Ariel and baby Kfir Bibas were kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, 2023 and are dead at the hands of the terrorists.

I've never been as angry as I am now. I am livid because the Hamas terrorists have murdered Shiri Bibas and her children, toddler Ariel and baby Kfir. And because hordes of Palestinian onlookers celebrated the deaths of innocents as Hamas terrorists handed over the bodies of the Bibas family. Gaza children sang and danced amid the raucous celebration.

The Bibas family was kidnapped on October 7, 2023 during the attack on Israel by armed Hamas terrorists and thousands of Gaza civilians. In fact, Gaza’s civilians made up the majority of the barbarians who invaded Israel. The invaders committed unspeakable atrocities against innocent Israeli men, women, children and babies.

The atrocities were celebrated by the Gaza civilians and the Palestinians on the West Bank.

Biden and Blinken kept harping about "innocent" civilians being killed in Gaza by the Israelis, when in fact there were no innocent civilians in Gaza. They supported Hamas all along and cheered as the terrorists and the civilians who accompanied them returned to Gaza on October 7 with the kidnap victims and the bloodied bodies of dead Israelis. Furthermore, the Palestinians on the West Bank cheered as well.

The Hamas terrorists made a spectacle out of handing over the bodies of the Bibas family and a fourth hostage and they were cheered on by Biden's innocent civilians.

Hamas gunmen stand near coffins during the staged handover of deceased hostages Oded Lifschitz, Shiri Bibas and her two children Kfir and Ariel Bibas, before hundreds of onlookers in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, February 20, 2025.\

 

Palestinian militants staged a ceremony to return the bodies of Shiri, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, as well as a fourth hostage, Oded Lifshitz, at a former cemetery in the southern Gazan city of Khan Yunis.

 

Palestinian gunmen carry a coffin said to contain the body of an Israeli hostage, in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, Thursday, Feb. 20, 2025

 

Palestinian terrorists carry one of the coffins said to carry the bodies of four slain Israeli hostages to the Red Cross in Khan Younis in the Gaza on February 20, 2025.

 

Hamas added cruelty on top of the cruelty as Israeli authorities discovered that the  body inside the coffin which was supposed to have contained Shiri Bibas was not hers.

Although I am livid, I can still think clearly. I don't care what the world thinks, but I want Israel to kill every last one of the Hamas terrorists. I also want the Israelis to pulverize the remaining structures in the Gaza strip that are still standing. If by turning the Gaza strip into a dust bin a lot of civilians get killed, that's just tough shit.

Israel should also pulverize the West Bank cities of Jenin and Nablus, both of which are hotbeds of anti-Israel terrorism. 

Genocide? Most of the world already accuses and condemns Israel of committing genocide so the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank won't matter.

Biden's innocent civilians had no sympathy for the brutalized Israelis and I don't have any sympathy for them.

The slaughter of the Bibas family must be avenged. Just as the Palestinians lacked any mercy on and since October 7, Israel should show no mercy for Hamas terrorists and their Palestinian supporters in Gaza and the West Bank.

ADDENDUM:

Feb 21, 2025

 

 

 

The Israel Defense Forces said Friday that forensic examinations have revealed that Palestinian terrorists murdered toddler Ariel and baby Kfir Bibas “with their bare hands” weeks after their kidnapping on October 7, 2023.

 

Feb 22, 2025

 

 

Shiri Bibas's body was returned to Israel. Officials assess she was ‘brutally’ murdered with her sons in Gaza.

MY GAZA PLAN ..... KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE

By Howie Katz

 

 

Illegal immigrants at Eagle Pass, Texas

 

 

Palestinians in the rubble of Gaza 

 

 

President Trumps plan to resettle the Gazans in Jordan and Egypt is a non starter.  Neither Jordan or Egypt is willing to accept any Palestinians from Gaza, or from anywhere else for that matter.

Furthermore, Trumps plan for the US to take over Gaza and turn it into a grandiose 'Riviera of the Middle East' Mediterranean resort is a pie-in-the-sky proposal that can't fly.

Then there is our problem with millions of illegal immigrants within the country. Trump wants to deport them all but realistically that is an impossibility. He can deport a handful to El Salvador, Columbia, Venezuela, Mexico and Guantanamo, but that leaves us stuck with the bulk of them.

I have a solution that will kill two birds with one stone.  My plan would ship the Gazans off to Turkey and our illegal immigrants to Gaza.

Turkey is the perfect place for the Gazans. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has championed the Palestinian cause and welcomed the Hamas leadership to take up residence in and operate from his country.

 

 

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (R) welcomes Hamas leaders in Istanbul on April 20, 2024

 

Trump should send a fleet of C-17 Globemasters to Gaza, load them up with Palestinians and fly them off to dump the 1.5 million Gazans in Ankara or Istanbul. Trump should tell Erdoğan to go fuck himself if he objects.

 

Gazans resettled in Turkey and America's illegal immigrants in Gaza. What a brilliant idea! Now why didn't someone else think of this first? 

I HAVE BEEN BESTOWED A GREAT HONOR

                                                           

Dear Howie,

On behalf of the Texas Narcotic Officers Association (TNOA), I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the renaming of our State Officer of the Year Award in your honor as the Howard "Howie" Katz Award. This recognition is a testament to your visionary leadership and lifelong commitment to the law enforcement community in Texas.

Your contributions to TNOA and the fight against narcotics have left a lasting legacy, and it is only fitting that this award, which honors excellence in our field, bears your name.

Please find the attached official letter for your reference. Once again, congratulations on this well-deserved honor.

With great respect and admiration,

David Ponce

President

Texas Narcotic Officers Association

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are honored to announce that the State Officer of the Year Award has been officially renamed the Howard "Howie" Katz Award in recognition of Howie Katz’s visionary leadership and invaluable contributions to the foundation and success of TNOA.

In 1970, Howie Katz, a former California law enforcement officer and Life Member of the California Narcotic Officers Association (CNOA), recognized the need for a statewide organization for narcotic officers in Texas. After accepting a teaching position at Sam Houston State University (SHSU) in Huntsville, Texas, in 1969, Katz approached Dr. George Killinger, head of the Criminal Justice Department at SHSU, who enthusiastically supported the idea. Dr. Killinger provided critical resources, including funding for outreach calls and meals for attendees at the first organizational meeting, which was held at SHSU.

Despite early resistance, Katz’s perseverance led him to Col. Wilson Speir, the Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), who immediately embraced the concept. With DPS backing, the idea gained momentum, and at the first meeting, Elmer Terrell, head of DPS’s Narcotics Division, was elected as TNOA’s first president. TNOA officially received its state charter in 1970, marking the beginning of a legacy of collaboration, professionalism, and excellence among narcotics officers in Texas.

Renaming this award in Howie Katz’s honor ensures that his name will forever be associated with the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and commitment to the fight against narcotics in Texas. The Howard "Howie" Katz Award will be presented annually to an officer who embodies these principles and has made a significant impact in our field.

Additionally, we want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Howie Katz, who will be celebrating his 98th birthday on March 1st. His dedication to law enforcement and his lasting impact on TNOA serve as an inspiration to us all.

Please join us in celebrating Howie Katz’s remarkable legacy and this well-deserved recognition.

MONDAY WAS HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY

Thanks to the foresight of my father, I am a Holocaust survivor

 

By Howie Katz

1943: Off they go to their probable deaths in the Nazi gas chambers of Auschwitz 

 

 

2023: Off they go to their probable deaths in the Hamas tunnels of Gaza

 

 

Today was Holocaust Remembrance Day. Six million Jews were murdered or starved to death by the Nazis during World War II.

The extermination of Europe's Jews was referred to as the 'final solution' by the Nazis and planned by Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich.

 

 

Heinrich Himmler (L) and Reinhard Heydrich planned the extermination of Europe's Jews, known as the 'final solution'

 

Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933. By 1936 the Nazi persecution of Germany's Jews was in full swing. Unlike most German Jews who believed their persecution was just a passing phase, my father saw the handwriting on the wall.

My father found a sponsor in the (department store) Macy family who sponsored us which enabled us to come to America.

Today much of the world hates Israel and the Jews. Most of the Europeans would just as soon forget the Holocaust. Ireland's schweinehund of a president took the Holocaust Remembrance occasion to castigate the Jews for the way they have fought Hamas in Gaza

Following are just a few pictures for remembering the Holocaust:

 

  This photo shows a German soldier shooting a Ukrainian Jew during a mass execution in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, sometime between 1941 and 1943.

Thanks to my beloved father's foresight, I am not in one of the above photographs. Thanks to my father's foresight, I was able to write this piece. Thanks to my father's foresight, I've had the privilege of living in America since 1936.

 

And above all, thanks to my father's foresight, I am a Holocaust survivor.
