Understanding the Impending Reciprocal Tariffs in Trade | The Epoch Times

Charts provide the context behind the president’s demand for fairness and order to restore steel tariffs by removing exclusions. -  Terri Wu
President Donald Trump is using tariffs—essentially taxes paid by foreign companies to access the U.S. market—as a primary tool to achieve his America First agenda. 
And it has delivered results for him so far.
  • Canada and Mexico both struck deals with the president after he vowed to impose 25 percent tariffs on the two countries unless they drastically reduce the flow of illegal immigrants and fentanyl into the United States. The tariffs have since been paused for a month. 
  • Amid a dispute about repatriation flights of illegal immigrants to Colombia, Trump threatened tariffs on the country, after which the latter agreed to accept all of its nationals deported from the United States.
  • And on Feb. 13, Trump unveiled a plan for reciprocal tariffs and other arrangements to balance its trade with all countries...

Orban warfare - Don Surber

Hungary's leader wants that DOGE in the window. Arf, arf 
Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary, tweeted, 
“Our fears have come true: the globalist-liberal-Soros NGO network is fleeing to Brussels, after President Trump dealt a huge blow to their activities in the US. 
Now 63 of them are asking Brussels for money, under the guise of various human rights projects. Not going to happen! 
We will not let them find safe haven in Europe! The USAID-files exposed the dark practices of the globalist network. We will not take the bait again!”
If they are non-government organizations, why do they receive government funding?...
AP—which has raked in $37.5 million from taxpayers in the last few years—attacked the duly elected leader of Hungary.
It reported, “Hungary’s Orbán says he will do away with pro-democracy and rights groups receiving U.S. aid.”
  • But AP lied. 
  • Orbán never called these groups pro-democracy. 
  • In fact, he said the opposite, warning that these faux charities called NGOs want to topple his government...

Michael Chamberlain: Docs show Biden's State Department ignored warning about funding U.N.-linked terror * WorldNetDaily * by Michael Chamberlain, Daily Caller News Foundation

In his executive order announcing the decision, he noted, "UNRWA has reportedly been infiltrated by members of groups long designated by the Secretary of State (Secretary) as foreign terrorist organizations." That was the case when Mr. Trump halted funding to the Palestinian aid agency during his first administration. It was still true when the Biden State Department reversed the policy in 2021. Leadership at the departments of State and Treasury knew that. As Protect the Public's Trust (PPT) revealed in 2023, documents showed that State officials were warned that there was "high risk" some of the $720 million they wanted to send UNRWA would end up funding Hamas and other terror groups.

Maybe we oughta fix that imbalance?

 


What's On Your Plate?

It tastes like ... well ... meat.
I guess it is meat, but it's not grown the normal way.
  • Scientists extract meat cells from an animal and then grow them in a bioreactor, much like ones you see in a brewery. There, the cells divide again and again until you get ... meat.
If you want to try some, you'll soon be able to.
But not in Florida or Alabama...
