Trumps sweeping tariffs coming to Canada, Mexico & China!

Well as the month-long pause comes to an end, President Donald Trump said he would impose sweeping tariffs Tuesday on Canada and Mexico, a move that could significantly increase prices on goods from two of America’s most important trading partners some say. Tensions have been mounting between the United States and its two closest neighbors over the past month after Trump agreed to grant the countries a reprieve from the import taxes. In return, Canada and Mexico agreed to try to slow the flow of illicit drugs and migrants into the United States.

While like normal Trump is facing growing opposition to his ambitious and controversial agenda from none other than the liberal media which as normal has nothing useful or helpful to say but to complain, and bitch, with his approval rating in decline, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll which sure doesn't seem biased at all.

Notice my sarcasam as we know ABC, and Washington Post lie their ass off about anything Trump. Remember they covered up Joe Biden, and his lies and speaking of him he was on the ABC show THE VIEW recently spreading more lies, and looking as old and deranged as always while these women did nothing but treat him like a hero even though he did nothing but damage to our country for four years. As we all know that inside the White House, Trump’s team isn’t dissuaded. He knows like the rest of us that those "polls" from ABC are b/s.

Tariffs and the economy: In April, Trump announced new tariffs of 125 percent on Chinese imports, while more than 75 other countries set to face what the White House calls “reciprocal” tariffs have been negotiating and would immediately see their levies set to 10 percent for 90 days, rather than higher rates announced previously. Here’s an inside look at Trump’s decision and how the trillions of dollars in new tariffs could affect you.

Harvard feud: The Trump administration has asked the Internal Revenue Service’s top attorney to revoke Harvard University’s tax-exempt status amid Trump’s fight with the institution over its handling of antisemitism and diversity practices. Experts say there is no proof that Harvard has violated tax laws that prohibit them from engaging in certain political activity. Here this doesn't affect me at all or anyone other than a university which has for decades been ripping us off.

Federal workers: The Trump administration continues to work to downsize the federal government, eliminating thousands of jobs at agencies, including HHS, USAID, the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the Education Department, the Defense Department, the National Weather Service and the National Park Service. The only people who have lost their jobs are those who have not shown why they even have been paid for their not even showing up to work! The liberals literally were giving them FREE Money! Why because these are DEI federal workers, and not actual boots on the ground workers, and they're making money off Taxpayer funds.

The comments express strong criticism of Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, highlighting concerns about rising prices for everyday products, particularly groceries according to the horrible humans on ABC, and Disney who owns them. Wait that has been happening since Biden who caused the mass inflation! Actually in my area nothing has gone up since Trump got back in but prices on eggs dropped a bit, and so did some of the produce in Walmart. But they're always doing Rollback specials, and stuff at these places but I've seen nothing drastic, and folks if all these countries charges us Tariffs and each other why can't we? How idiotic is this?

ABC Claims that many commentators predict that the tariffs will lead to increased costs for consumers, with some. Like this means anything? They keep making all these anti Trump predictions which always turnout to be 100% wrong. This one will also be wrong like always these polls target mostly Democrats so yeah with them you will never get a legit reading of what the country is actually saying as they're biased, and full of well HORSE SHIT as far as I'm concerned.

NO MORE DEI Says TRUMP!

The man himself President Donald Trump and his administration moved Tuesday to end affirmative action in federal contracting and directed that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion staff be put on paid leave and eventually be laid off. And we as Americans THANK HIM!

This is a WIN for the everyday American worker who is qualified and often passed over for cheaper or more "diverse" labor and not based on actual skill set. Just in a matter of days President Trump has already done more to balance the USA work force than Biden did in his failed 4 years. The Biden nightmare is finally over.

The moves follow an executive order Trump signed on his first day ordering a sweeping dismantling of the federal government's diversity and inclusion programs that could touch on everything from anti-bias training to funding for minority farmers and homeowners. Trump has called the programs "discrimination" and insisted on restoring strictly "merit-based" hiring.

The executive order on affirmative action revokes an order issued by President Lyndon Johnson, and curtails DEI programs by federal contractors and grant recipients. It's using one of the key tools utilized by the Biden administration to promote DEI programs across the private sector pushing their use by federal contractors to now eradicate them. 

The Office of Personnel Management in a Tuesday memo directed agencies to place DEI office staffers on paid leave by 5 p.m. Wednesday and take down all public DEI-focused web pages by the same deadline. Several federal departments had removed the web pages even before the memorandum.

Agencies must also cancel any DEI-related training and end any related contracts, and federal workers are being asked to report to Trump's Office of Personnel Management if they suspect any DEI-related program has been renamed to obfuscate its purpose within 10 days or face "adverse consequences."

By Thursday, federal agencies are directed to compile a list of federal DEI offices and workers as of Election Day. By next Friday, they are expected to develop a plan to execute a "reduction-in-force action" against those federal workers. It's been a busy Tuesday for immigration offices in Tampa Florida, after a series of immigration executive actions were signed by President Donald Trump. They include declaring a national emergency at the U.S. border and kicking off a process to end birthright citizenship.

Attorney Danielle Hernandez with DVH Law Group says their phones are ringing with concerns from those wondering what their rights are. She’s now filming a video breaking down the executive orders signed by Trump. “We woke up to a slew of phone calls and questions, so we thought that this was the most effective way to answer them,” said Hernandez.

Hernandez has been an attorney for 15 years, so helping the immigrant community stay informed is part of her day-to-day. However, with a new president, she’s hoping to get one message out to immigrants in the state. “I want people to understand if you do not have a final order of deportation and you do not have any criminal record I’m talking things you went to jail for no one is going to come looking for you,” said Hernandez.

Trump’s administration also shut down an app called CBP One that allowed migrants to cross the U.S. border legally and discontinued a humanitarian program allowing paroles and family reunifications.

As for the order on ending birthright citizenship, Hernandez says that will be difficult to enforce. “That’s the one thing that he has done that I’m certain will have legal checks and balances this is protected in the Constitution, this is protected by the courts,” she said. Hernandez has also distributed cards to families that explain what to do if questioned about legal status and how to stay protected.

“You have the right to say that you would like to remain silent, and you would like to speak to an attorney and do not sign anything,” she said. In Tallahassee Tuesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis spoke about the first steps taken by Trump in the early hours of his new administration. The governor specifically touted Trump’s executive orders on immigration, saying they point towards the importance of a special legislative session that he has called for.

“The President mentioned in his speech that, you know, the states need to be on board here. I think you’re gonna see them go after sanctuary jurisdictions. I know that was in one of the orders. And hopefully in the budget process as well. But here in Florida, we lead in Florida, we don’t wait to see what the political temperature is, we get out, we lead, we get the job done. We have an opportunity to make a difference on an issue that the voters have cared about, really, really intently, for a number of years. This is the time. How many Republicans have been elected running on the border and immigration excesses in the last 20 years? I mean, it’s been like a perennial issue, so now we have an opportunity to make a real difference. We have a great roadmap,” DeSantis said.

Florida legislators are hoping to decrease the number of food deserts statewide. They’re defined as low-income urban or suburban areas that are more than one mile from a supermarket, or a low-income rural area more than 10 miles from one. Often, residents must rely on convenience stores for food. But a bill that would cut through land development regulations could help spur grocers to set up shop in those areas of need. Every Saturday, Raymond Mabry brings his wagon to Tangerine Plaza. He picks up food supplies to last him the week. “I get to eat now, great food," he said. "I must say they have some pretty blessed food."

Mabry doesn’t have a car, and the nearest grocery store is almost two miles away from this shopping center. “I would have to depend on someone to take me to the grocery store. And I wouldn’t be the only one in this position. Believe me, all these people lined up, they don’t have a way around,” he said. He’s lined up to get food that was donated for people like him. “They are the grocery store," he said. "I know it’s kinda bad, but you know man, if it don’t be for them, I mean, these people are saviors." Mabry was there along with hundreds of others. Some came on foot, some in their vehicles.

“I believe the fact that neighbors are out here before the sun rises to wait for groceries proves that there is a great need,” he said. Karen Rae is the executive director of Positive Impact St. Pete. “We are standing right in the middle of a food desert," Rae said. "There has not been a grocery store here for over seven years and that is unacceptable." Some lawmakers want to change that. Rep. Michele Rayner is co-sponsoring House Bill 89, which would help bring small grocery stores to food insecure neighborhoods by cutting through some regulations like land development to make construction and planning quicker and easier.

Rae supports it. “We need to have grocery stores within a mile of everyone’s home so that it’s easy for them to access healthy foods,” she said. Local politicians like St. Petersburg city council member Corey Givens, Jr. says he wants to tackle the problem of food deserts “Access to nutritious food should be a human right," he said. "Everyone, regardless of their zip code, regardless of their income bracket, deserves to have foods in their belly."
