Trump’s China Tariffs: Extraordinarily Good for America

“I can’t believe how many people are negative on tariffs that are actually smart people,” President Donald Trump told Bloomberg in a June 25 interview. “Economically, they’re phenomenal.”

Since then, a lot of smart people have rushed to the American media to say that, on the contrary, high tariffs are horrible.

Trump is right. Although these levies would increase costs to American consumers, the costs would not be nearly as great as experts say. Moreover, there are other considerations, both economic and national security, favoring raising tariffs now.

‘Fat guys’ and prostitutes: How the real Secret Service is nothing like Hollywood

In the popular 2013 movie Olympus Has Fallen, a murderously efficient Secret Service agent played by Gerard Butler single-handedly defeats a North Korean assault team which has captured the White House and taken the president hostage.

That was by no means the sole offering in the genre that year. White House Down, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, followed a similar theme.

Going further back, Michael Douglas and Keifer Sutherland slugged it out in the 2006 caper Sentinel, while the 1993 movie In the Line of Fire had an ageing Clint Eastwood playing a haggard but determined agent on the presidential security detail.

Vile Muslim extremist with his own ‘ARMY’ plans to create an Islamic homeland under Sharia law on island near US border – and reveals why he saw Canada as a good ‘base’

A firebrand Muslim cleric eyed up an island on the border of the United States and Canada to purchase and turn into an Islamic state.

In a video to his followers, Sheikh Yasser al-Habib, 45, an extremist scholar who already runs military-style training camps, revealed he is in advanced talks to buy an island off the west coast of Scotland.

His group plans to build its own school, hospital and mosque on the island, where it intends to practice sharia law.

How Trump’s promise of mass deportations could affect Canada’s border

It was 2017 when Canadians first began to hear of an obscure border crossing near Hemmingford, Que., that was witnessing an unusually high number of illegal crossings on foot.

Large numbers of Haitians, many of them families dragging heavy suitcases, were flying from homes in Florida and New York City to upstate Plattsburgh, N.Y., and then taking a taxi to the tiny farming community of Mooers, N.Y.

Roxham Road would soon become a major news story and a political issue.

3 Palestinian terror suspects caught after crossing border illegally

Border agents detained three Palestinian migrants who illegally crossed the southern border after they were found to have possible ties to terrorist organizations earlier this month, according to sources.

One of the migrants had “salacious photos” on their phone — including a picture of a masked man holding an AK-47 rifle, federal law enforcement sources said.

In addition to the three Palestinians, federal authorities caught one migrant from Turkey who was also suspected of having ties to terror groups.

Behind the Homeless Surge in California’s High Desert

LOS ANGELES—In the scrubby Mojave desert north of Los Angeles, a sprawling encampment of decrepit RVs sits just off a dirt road separating the city of Lancaster from Los Angeles County’s unincorporated expanse.

In every direction, garbage spreads out like an algae super bloom—beyond that, endless sand and brush, baking in the summer sun.

“Keep your head on a swivel for dogs,” a member of the city’s public safety and emergency response unit tells us. Through the haze, we see two pit bulls and a German Shepherd under a tarp, but they are tethered, too hot to move.

Pro-Hamas Rioters In D.C. Vindicate J.D. Vance’s View Of America

When pro-Hamas rioters on Wednesday ripped down and burned the American flag outside Union Station in Washington, D.C., and defaced nearby monuments with antisemitic, Islamic terrorist graffiti, they unintentionally made a case for what Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance said at the RNC last week: that America isn’t just an idea, but a place and a people with a shared history and a common future.

The Biden Administration Empowering Deadly Houthi Terror Group

They recently carried out an attack on Tel Aviv, Israel, resulting in one fatality and at least ten people injured. The assault marks the Houthis’ first deadly strike into Israeli territory, reflecting a troubling widening of their actions.

Trump comeback could see familiar faces re-emerge — and they may spell trouble for Canada

Canadians are watching the U.S. election campaign with more than their usual mix of trepidation and fascination, as it careens from a near-miss assassination attempt on one candidate to an unprecedented step-aside from the other.

Two-thirds of Canadians say a second Donald Trump term would be either ‘”bad news” or “terrible news” for Canada, according to a poll of 1,435 adults conducted by the Angus Reid Institute.

(The online poll was conducted over the four days following the shooting in Butler, Pa., and has a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.)

US combat vehicles keep the Russians at bay — but for how long?

America has sent more than 300 M2A2 Bradleys to Ukraine but many have been wrecked in the war. Soldiers fear Donald Trump, if re-elected, would leave them without replacements

The enemy were already closing in on the Ukrainian infantry positions when Sergeant Dzvinka Rymar rolled up to them in her American M2 Bradley fighting vehicle. Her driver pulled it round in a tight arc to reverse up to the Ukrainian trench, its gun facing the Russians.

The Bradley’s rear doors swung open, enabling eight Ukrainian soldiers to clamber to safety, as its Bushmaster 25mm chain gun sent round after round into the treeline opposite, held by Russian troops.

Kamala Harris championed sanctuary city policies — and these migrant crimes could come back to haunt her

Vice President Kamala Harris championed sanctuary cities when she served as district attorney in San Francisco, with her office saying at the time that “we are a sanctuary city, a city of refuge, and we always will be.”

Now as the Democrats’ leading presidential nominee candidate, Republicans are pointing back to her liberal policies that were soft on illegal migrants.

Harris was elected as San Francisco’s DA in 2004, running on a campaign vowing to never impose the death penalty and supporting the city’s decades-old sanctuary city policy while in office.

Obamas endorse Kamala Harris in pursuit of 4th term as president

Barack Obama has endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic presidential nominee, ending days of speculation over whether he would support her.
