EU delays imposing first round of retaliatory tariffs against US until mid-April

By Pilar Arias , Bonny Chu  | Fox Business The European Union (EU) has delayed imposing its first retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. until mid-April, after President Donald Trump threatened a 25% tariff increase on all steel and aluminum imports earlier this month, according to Reuters.  The countermeasures of around $28 billion on U.S. goods, including a 50% tariff on American whiskey, were originally set to phase in on April 1, with a second wave to hit on April 13. However, the EU decided on Thursday to delay imposing all retaliatory tariffs until mid-April, Reuters reported. READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX BUSINESS

Molotovs and Musk: Tesla attackers slapped with federal charges in ‘domestic terrorism’ crackdown

By Ashe Epp | Colorado Free Press Attorney General Pam Bondi announced federal charges against three individuals accused of vandalism and property crime on Tesla dealerships and charging stations in Oregon, Colorado, and South Carolina. Labeling the attacks as domestic terrorism, Bondi didn’t mince words, promising severe penalties ranging from five to 20 years behind bars. From Reuters: "The three people in the arson cases include Lucy Grace Nelson, 42, who was charged in February with possession of a destructive device and malicious destruction of property used in interstate commerce. Nelson has pleaded not guilty and been released on bond.

Trump’s education executive order faces congressional and legal hurdles

By Mabinty Quarshie | Washington Examiner President Donald Trump‘s executive order to begin shutting down the Department of Education is all but guaranteed to face several challenges in court after multiple critics decried the action as unconstitutional. Legally, only Congress can shut down the Education Department. It is unclear if the president has the necessary votes. Still, Trump’s order calls for Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin the process of shutting it down, and prior efforts of layoffs or deferred resignations have already significantly reduced the workforce and severely limited its Office for Civil Rights.

Linda McMahon prepares to shut down Department Of Education following Trump’s order

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller Education Secretary Linda McMahon is preparing to shut down the Department of Education by pledging to work with Congress and state leaders to “eliminate the bureaucracy responsibly” in a memo obtained by the Daily Caller as Trump signs an executive order aimed at dismantling her office. President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday that directs McMahon to take “all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return education authority to the States.” In her first comments on the executive order, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller, McMahon explains that the department “will continue to support K-12 students, students with special needs, college student borrowers, and others” while working with the state...

How Trump finally nailed illegal immigrant activist

By Jennie Taer | New York Post The Trump administration finally nabbed an immigration activist  who eluded federal agents for years and hid in churches where she was shielded from arrest. Jeanette Vizguerra, a 53-year-old Mexican mom of four, was once named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People for hiding from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in a Colorado church. After years of chasing her, ICE finally got its hands on Vizguerra Monday when she was in the parking lot of the Target store in Denver where she worked, according to Jordan Garcia, another immigrant rights activist, told the New York Times.

Federal Reserve leaves key interest rate unchanged amid uncertainty over economy, inflation

By Eric Revell  | Fox Business The Federal Reserve on Wednesday announced that it will leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged as policymakers continue to assess uncertainty around inflation and economic conditions in light of federal policy shifts. The central bank's decision leaves the benchmark federal funds rate at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%.  The move comes after the Fed left rates at that level at its previous meeting in January, which came on the heels of three consecutive rate cuts at its preceding meetings — which involved a 50-basis-point cut in September and a pair of 25-basis-point reductions in November and December.

Inside the now-shuttered federal agency where employees lived ‘like reigning kings’

By Luke Rosiak | Daily Wire One of the seven small federal agencies that President Donald Trump ordered downsized or eliminated on Friday was rife with corruption, with its employees hiring friends and relatives, commissioning paintings of themselves, and using government credit cards to indulge in constant luxuries. The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) occupied a nine-story office tower on D.C.’s K Street for only 60 employees, many of whom actually worked from home, prior to the pandemic. Its managers had luxury suites with full bathrooms; one manager would often be “in the shower” when she was needed, while another used her bathroom as a cigarette lounge. FMCS recorded its director as being on a years-long business trip to D.C. so he could have all of h...

Krannawitter: The budget and rule of law

By Thomas L. Krannawitter, Ph.D. , Substack, Commentary Think the rule of law is important? Then the joke is on you. The rule of law has been murdered—it is dead, or close to it. And the prime suspect is the very body that writes laws: Congress. In 1974, Congress passed The Congressional Budget Act, a law prescribing a proper, formal annual budget process that features separate itemized appropriations bills that are supposed to be passed on time like clockwork. Congress didn’t have to create this kind of law binding on itself, but it did. READ THE FULL STORY AT SUBSTACK

What the JFK assassination files have revealed so far — including apparent KGB probe into Lee Harvey Oswald

By Richard Pollina | New York Post The long-awaited release of tens of thousands of files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has sparked a desperate search for new clues in the shocking crime more than 60 years later. The trove of previously classified pages spanning decades was made available by President Trump on the National Archives website Tuesday, with most seemingly only confirming information long known. However, some interesting snippets being pored over include documents shedding light on theories eyeing a “small clique” in the CIA being involved — as well as an apparent KGB investigation to find if assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was one of its agents.
