JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted\u00a050\u201346\u00a0to\u00a0terminate\u00a0former President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs on Canadian imports, marking a significant shift in U.S.-Canada trade relations. The vote has sparked a heated debate, particularly among those who strongly supported Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d trade policies.<\/p>\n
Several Republicans joined Democrats in voting to repeal the tariffs, drawing the ire of many conservative lawmakers. Among those who sided with the opposition were Senators Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, and Rand Paul, all of whom broke ranks with their party\u2019s stance on trade. Their votes have become a flashpoint for criticism from Trump supporters.<\/p>\n
Despite the Senate\u2019s vote, the bill still faces a major hurdle: it must clear the House of Representatives before becoming law. However, given the political landscape, it\u2019s highly unlikely that the measure will pass the House, where the Republican majority remains more sympathetic to Trump\u2019s trade policies.<\/p>\n
The tariffs, which were a key part of Trump\u2019s strategy to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and address the trade imbalance with Canada, were intended to protect American industries from cheap imports. Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d approach to trade has been credited with reshaping the global trading landscape, and many of his supporters view the repeal as a step backward.<\/p>\n
Proponents of the tariffs argue that they were necessary to protect U.S. workers and strengthen the domestic economy. They see the vote to eliminate them as a blow to the legacy of Trump\u2019s administration, which emphasized American self-reliance and the protection of U.S. jobs through tough trade measures.<\/p>\n
Opponents of the tariffs, however, argue that they were detrimental to American consumers, raising prices on goods and disrupting supply chains. They contend that dismantling the tariffs could help reduce costs for U.S. businesses and consumers, and restore smoother trade relations with Canada.<\/p>\n
As the debate continues, Trump\u2019s supporters remain adamant that his \u201cAmerica First\u201d trade stance remains essential for U.S. prosperity. While this Senate vote may signal a shift in policy, the former president\u2019s influence on trade and economic policy is far from over.<\/p>\n
Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been working hard at making herself a national celebrity on her \u201cFight The Oligarchy\u201d tour with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and with other events she has hosted, but it may cost her the job that put her in the spotlight to begin with.<\/p>\n
While she has been on the road elevating her profile as she mulls campaigning for higher office, the area she was elected to represent has decayed into a crime-ridden cesspool, and voters are furious with her, The New York Post reported.<\/p>\n
Since she was first elected in 2019, major crime rose by a staggering 70 percent in her Bronx \/ Queens district.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous \u2018Market of Sweethearts\u2019 human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period,\u201d The Post said in its report.<\/p>\n
\u201cMajor crimes consist of murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and auto theft,\u201d the outlet continued.<\/p>\n
The 115th precinct, which is also in the representative\u2019s district, saw a whopping increase of 85 percent in major crimes, and her constituents are frustrated with their celebrity representative.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s not doing s\u2013t. She doesn\u2019t live in the neighborhood, she doesn\u2019t care,\u201d Elmhurst resident Guadelupe Alvarez, a former supporter of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, said to The Post.<\/p>\n
Alvarez said she used to have dreams of building a life in the community, but those days are over.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get \u2013 pardon my language \u2013 the f\u2013k out of here. It makes me so sad that they\u2019ve done that to push me out of my neighborhood. And I\u2019m not the only one. . . . I could never have a family here,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She told The Post that she attempted to talk to the representative about the issue at a town hall last year, but it did not go as planned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked, \u2018Are you aware of how horrible it\u2019s gotten? When was the last time you were in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst?\u2019 She ignored me and told me, \u2018You can ask this person questions\u2019 \u2026 who I guess was her assistant. She did a very silent exit through the back,\u201d Alvarez said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s disrespectful. You\u2019re there because of people from my community, and you\u2019re not doing s\u2013t for our community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Republican City Council candidate Ramses Frias also shredded the representative when he spoke to The Post.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have a mouth to speak up. People are suffering. They\u2019re scared to go outside,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
And her rhetoric on race and defunding the police has also had an effect on her district.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody wants to be a police officer, it\u2019s been so villainized,\u201d said Manhattan Institute Director of Policing and Public Safety, Hannah Meyers, said. \u201cAnd that affects every function that the police do.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s her district, she\u2019s supposed to be looking out for people there. She has such a myopic focus on race,\u201d she said, pointing to the fact that most of the victims of crime in her district are black or Hispanic. \u201cYou\u2019re not helping the victims of crime by talking about how the system is racist.<\/p>\n
\u201cRhetoric is really powerful,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In June 2020, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez declared, \u201cDefunding police means defunding police,\u201d and she has since continued that rhetoric, saying in 2022 that \u201cpolice budgets have nothing to do with crime levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe talks about the whole fighting the oligarchy, and that\u2019s what she\u2019s all about \u2013 the poor people. And yet most people in her district are fearful, they don\u2019t feel like they can walk out the door without encountering a drug dealer or a purse snatcher or a hooker,\u201d National Police Association\u2019s Betsy Brantner Smith said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that goes against everything that you know she stands for. If you don\u2019t feel safe, you\u2019re not free,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Mounting Tensions in 2025: Israel Grapples with Escalating Attacks Amid Regional Unrest<\/strong><\/p>\n In a volatile start to 2025, Israel is once again at the center of a rapidly developing crisis as unconfirmed but widespread reports point to a wave of coordinated attacks targeting the country.<\/p>\n The growing chorus of regional alerts and international concern underscores the fragile state of Middle Eastern security and the potential for broader conflict.<\/p>\n Defense sources are working to confirm the origin and intent of the strikes, with speculation ranging from state-sponsored operations to retaliatory actions by non-state actors.<\/p>\n The timing of these incidents couldn\u2019t be more critical. The Middle East has seen a resurgence of instability in recent months, with long-simmering rivalries and unresolved conflicts threatening to spiral beyond national borders. Israel, historically on the frontlines of such volatility, now finds itself once again navigating uncertainty, amid growing calls for restraint and clarity.<\/p>\n Security analysts have noted that the current environment\u2014marked by shifting alliances, proxy confrontations, and fragile ceasefires\u2014has created a powder keg of potential flashpoints. Any escalation involving Israel is likely to draw in multiple stakeholders, raising the stakes for both regional actors and global powers invested in maintaining some degree of balance.<\/p>\n Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n The events unfolding in Israel in 2025 mark a sobering reminder of how quickly tensions in the Middle East can ignite. While much remains unknown, the implications are far-reaching. Whether this moment becomes a spark for broader conflict or a catalyst for renewed diplomacy For now, the world watches closely, as Israel contends with a rising tide of uncertainty and a growing need for strategic, measured responses on all sides.<\/p>\n Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n Bored Daddy<\/p>\n Love and Peace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has voted\u00a050\u201346\u00a0to\u00a0terminate\u00a0former President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs on Canadian imports, marking a significant shift in U.S.-Canada trade relations.
