The Biden administration is considering a new set of tariffs on some steel imports that would increase food prices for consumers already reeling from the recent run of high inflation. The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission are considering a petition that would impose tariffs of up to 300 percent on tinplate steel, a key component in tin cans like those commonly used to pack food products including tuna, soup, baked beans, and more. If the administration decides to implement those tariffs on imports from eight countries, it would be a blatantly protectionist maneuver aimed at benefitting a single...

Navarro reiterated his viewpoint that there is no way out of this situation during a Biden administration, stating, "(Not) until we put Fauci in jail and end him heading policy. We had this rolling (last) November. "I never imagined that the vaccine would be used as a weapon against workers. It's the stupidest damned thing I've ever heard. Pete Buttigieg is still staying home," Navarro added. Speaking further on the subject of Dr. Anthony Fauci, Navarro pointed out, "I didn't know him. I had to fight him all the way. It was the biggest lie of omission in American history,...

Dementia Joe gave a speech on Monday pushing his “Buy American” plan for America. Joe Biden has about zero credibility on this subject since he spent his last 40 years giving US jobs away to the world and especially China. It also is his weak attempt to sound like he’s “America First” like President Donald Trump. Once again, during his remarks, only 3,500 people were watching live. This is just a shockingly low number for a president who was just sworn in last week. The fake news media continues to insist Joe Biden is the most popular politician in US...

For over 20 years, H1B, L1, etc. replaced local s/w workers for cheaper pay (actual pay divided by hours worked). We trained them because their resumes were stuffed with lies and exaggerated skills, which by the way allowed HR and placement agencies to get H1Bs slots. Last 10 years or more, they are replacing entire systems with products built overseas with a few local sales/support/migration/managers (often H1Bs to boot). These products were quickly written spaghetti code javascript and unstructured backend that were full of bugs, performance and security issues. As it grew over time, the codebase would be hard to...

It seems obvious that President Donald Trump is going to need a blockbuster economic revival if he hopes to win reelection in November. Part of the equation to achieve that spring back is to resist trade protectionist temptations. But will he? While everyone likes the sentiment of bringing manufacturing jobs back to America, trade barriers have never been very effective. What has been effective for Trump, as more than 1 million blue-collar jobs have come back to these shores, has been a competitiveness brought on by cutting taxes, slashing regulations and so on. But protectionism against our friendly trading partners...

Nikki Haley has kept busy since leaving her post in the Trump administration as United States ambassador to the United Nations. A former governor of South Carolina, Haley is often mentioned as a potential Republican presidential candidate for either 2024 or 2028 – depending on whether Donald Trump wins re-election in November. There has even been speculation that Trump might switch out Vice-President Mike Pence for Haley as his running mate in the hopes of boosting his lagging approval numbers among the broader electorate, though there has been no strong evidence that that will happen. Either way she has positioned...

Today, the Department of Justice recognized the third anniversary of the President’s Buy American and Hire American (BAHA) Executive Order, which directs federal agencies to protect U.S. workers’ jobs from employers that abuse temporary work visa programs. “On this anniversary, the Department of Justice reaffirms its commitment to protect U.S. workers from discrimination,†said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division. “Our message to workers is clear: if companies deny you employment by illegally preferring temporary visa holders over U.S. workers, the Department of Justice will hold them accountable. This is especially important at a time when...

The White House trade adviser says Big Pharma wants to ‘preserve its offshore oligopoly’ White House trade adviser Peter Navarro is hitting back at a group of Big Pharma lobbyists, medical organizations, and free trade groups for opposing President Trump’s proposed ‘Buy American’ executive order reshoring the medical supply chain. Navarro, the assistant to the president for trade and manufacturing, told The Spectator that Big Pharma’s opposition to the executive order, which would require government agencies to purchase pharmaceutical products made in the US, because it wants to ‘preserve its offshore oligopoly’. ‘All the EO would do is ensure that...

They claim the order will harm efforts to provide doctors and hospitals with the equipment and medicines they need to stop the spread of COVID-19 The Association for Accessible Medicines (AAM), a trade association for major pharmaceutical manufacturers such as 3M, is drafting a letter to send to President Trump opposing his proposed ‘Buy American’ executive order reshoring medical supply chains. The letter currently has over 40 signatories, including PhRMA, a Big Pharma lobbying organization, dozens of medical nonprofits, and free market-oriented organizations, indicating the president will face immense pressure across the political spectrum for trying to reduce US medical...

(Reuters) - In just four years, marijuana use grew by 75% among Americans aged 65 and older, according to a new study, and researchers expressed concern over a lack of information on the potential health implications. The increase was most pronounced in women, those with higher incomes and more education, according to a report published on Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine. The findings continue a trend seen over the last decade, said the study's lead author, Benjamin Han, an assistant professor of geriatric medicine and palliative care at the New York University School of Medicine. "Consider that not even 10...

NEW YORK (AP) — A high-drama telecom deal is heading to court. T-Mobile, in its attempt to buy Sprint for $26.5 billion, has already notched approvals from key federal regulators. Now it must convince a federal judge that the 14 state attorneys general suing to stop the deal are wrong. A trial starts Monday in U.S. District Court in New York and is expected to last several weeks. If T-Mobile prevails, the number of major U.S. wireless companies would shrink to three from four. A combined T-Mobile-Sprint would become a fiercer competitor to larger Verizon and AT&T . But the...

OK sorry this is from the New York Times, but they are occasionally completely right no some issues. I believe this is one of those rare moments: -- BEIJING — China will refuse to discuss President Trump's two toughest trade demands when American negotiators arrive in Beijing this week, people involved in Chinese policymaking say, potentially forcing Washington to escalate the dispute or back down. The Chinese government is publicly calling for flexibility on both sides. But senior Beijing officials do not plan to discuss the Trump administration's two biggest demands: a mandatory $100 billion cut in America’s $375 billion...

OAN Newsroom The Trump administration is allowing customs officers to screen all cargo trucks coming into the U.S. in an effort to crack down on Mexican drug cartels. Under the Obama administration agents would only conduct random inspections allowing cartels to run their concealed loads through the border, but border security forces will now use technology to screen every cargo truck. According to the Department of Transportation about 471,000 trucks pass through the U.S.-Mexico border on a monthly basis. Officials say cartels often use other routes to transport drugs, but their preferred method is driving through a port of entry.

Whether it's WalMart, Safeway, CVS, or any other kind of local or national retail chain, the norm nowadays is for customers to swipe loyalty or "customer care" cards during checkout. Membership is a way for customers to accrue purchasing points, receive email alerts about future buyer discounts, and most often reduced prices on certain goods selected at time of purchase. Why do retailers offer these deals? Are they feeling extra generous, or are they oblivious to profits? Not a chance. We Appreciate Your Business Retailers reward their loyalty-card swiping clientele simply because knowledge of the buying habits of their customers...

Protectionism is becoming a bipartisan fad. ‘We don’t have a level playing field for our workers,” President Donald Trump told a group of workers in Kenosha, Wis., on Tuesday. Truth is, if we were to ever level the playing field with countries like Mexico and China, the average American worker would be making $3 an hour and spending his pittance on Third World health care and decrepit housing. Please, don’t level the playing field. When few things are going your way in politics, though, it’s customary to return to rhetoric that made you successful. So, as Republicans have been unable...

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order in Wisconsin on Tuesday directing a government-wide review aimed at putting new teeth back into decades-old “Buy American” and “Hire American” directives. The 220-day review process, which could lead to additional executive orders and possibly legislation, will focus on preventing foreign workers with H-1B visas from, as one senior administration official put it, “undercutting American labor at less cost,” which the official labeled as “an abuse” of the current system. “This is a clear statement from the president of the United States to shore up some of these abuses,” the official continued....
