‘Uncommitted’ leaders stand by 2024 strategy after Trump floats Gaza takeover

Washington In the face of fresh accusations that they undermined the Democratic ticket following President Donald Trump's declaration that he intends to seize control of the Gaza Strip, leaders of the pro-Palestinian movement that mobilized opposition to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2024 race are sticking to their plan. Even though Trump's record on the Middle East had been more antagonistic to the Palestinian cause, his comments, which shocked prominent Washington officials, prompted a fresh round of accusations among Democrats over the pressure campaign from advocacy groups against Biden and Harris in the presidential contest over the Israel-Hamas war. Co-chair of the uncommitted movement, which refused to support Harris, Trump, or any other candidate in the 2024 election, Layla ...

Trump’s China tariff increase affects Ford and GM vehicles, billions of dollars in auto parts

DETROIT A tiny number of U.S. cars are impacted by President Donald Trump's decision to put 10% extra tariffs on imports from China this week. However, those tariffs also affect auto parts, which might raise consumer pricing for already high-priced vehicles. The U.S. International Trade Commission estimates that the United States has imported between $15.4 billion and over $17.5 billion worth of transportation goods from China in recent years, including $9 billion to $10 billion in auto parts and accessories for cars, tractors, and other special purpose vehicles. The Ford Lincoln Nautilus and General Motors Buick Envision will be the vehicles most affected. Of the 88,515 Chinese-made cars sold in the United States last year, 83,884 (95%) were crossovers. From a volume perspective, GM and F...

Some tariff concessions from Canada and Mexico touted by Trump lack substance, experts say

President Donald Trump and his followers have praised his use of tariff threats to pressure Canada and Mexico into making concessions on border security and drug trafficking. However, some of the agreements reached by America's two biggest economic partners and key allies are not as significant as the hype suggests, according to experts. Trump predicted that the 25% tariffs on the two nations would go into effect on Tuesday when he announced them on Saturday. He claimed to have achieved a deal with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum by Monday, agreeing to send 10,000 Mexican national guard officers to the U.S. border to stop the flow of drugs and migrants into the country. Sheinbaum stated that she and the Trump administration had reached an agreement to form a bilateral working group to ...

The Super Bowl’s biggest loser? New York Giants fans

John Lopez hasn't had a good football season, it's safe to say. The 31-year-old New Yorker has been a devoted Giants supporter since he can remember, and he watched every week as his team struggled to a 3-14 record with dysfunction on and off the field. However, the person who was hurting him the most wasn't even listed. "It's like a complete gut punch every time I see Saquon Barkley running for a touchdown," he said this week on NBC News. Naturally, he is referring to the outstanding running back for the Philadelphia Eagles who spent the last six seasons in New York. Barkley, who was selected by the Giants with the second overall pick in 2018, served as the team's spokesperson. He was the team's most well-liked player and their most potent offensive weapon. The team was in transition in t...

Mitch McConnell using a wheelchair after falling down stairs at the Capitol

Washington Following a fall in the Capitol, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was spotted using a wheelchair, but his office reported Wednesday that he is "fine." McConnell, the senator, is all right. "His regular work schedule will not be disrupted by the residual effects of polio in his left leg," a McConnell spokesperson stated. McConnell, 82, was a youngster who contracted polio. Additionally, the spokesperson stated that McConnell is only using a wheelchair as a precaution. As McConnell was exiting the Senate chamber to attend a Republican caucus lunch, reporters saw him stumble down a short flight of steps. While heading down the stairs from the Senate floor, McConnell collapsed. Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., told reporters, "I think he just slipped on the steps, I was right behind him an...

Trump expected to sign executive order banning trans women from women’s sports

An executive order banning transgender women from participating in women's sports is anticipated to be signed by President Donald Trump on Wednesday. White House officials refer to the policy as the "No Men in Women's Sports Executive Order." Wednesday is the 39th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day, which was established in 1987 to honor female athletes and encourage girls to play sports. The timing doesn't seem to be coincidental. Before the November elections, the topic of transgender women playing women's sports was a recurring and contentious one. Trump promised to keep men out of women's sports and referred to trans women as men both during and after his campaign. White House officials told reporters on a call Wednesday morning that they anticipate the word "transgender" ...

Trump’s plans for a ‘riviera of the Middle East’ in Gaza condemned

LondonThe world has been shocked and incredulous by President Donald Trump's shocking revelation that he intends to take over the Gaza Strip and expel 2.2 million Palestinians, at least temporarily. According to certain officials and analysts, this would amount to ethnic cleansing. Many question if it's really feasible in practice, speculating that it might be more of a diplomatic ploy or a diversionary tactic than a real policy strategy. The purported plan to turn the war-torn Palestinian enclave on Israel's western flank into the Middle East's riviera has been denounced outside of far-right groups in both Israel and the US, regardless of its purpose or feasibility. According to Fawaz Gerges, a seasoned Middle East specialist and professor at the London School of Economics, this is the mo...
