China and the EU have a few strategies they might employ to circumvent potential tariffs imposed by Trump. Both China and the EU could look to strengthen trade relationships with other countries to reduce their reliance on the US market. This could involve negotiating new trade agreements or enhancing existing ones with other major economies.

European companies, in particular, might consider setting up manufacturing facilities in the US to avoid tariffs. This would allow them to continue serving the US market without the added cost of tariffs. China and the EU could work together to form a united front against US trade policies. By coordinating their responses and leveraging their combined economic power, they might be able to negotiate more favorable terms or mitigate the impact of tariffs.

Some companies might attempt to reroute their goods through third countries to avoid direct tariffs. This involves shipping products to a country that is not subject to the tariffs and then re-exporting them to the US.

It was initially created under President Jimmy Carter by Presidential Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 and implemented through executive orders on April 1, 1979. On September 25, 2024, Congress passed a stopgap funding bill that included $20 billion for FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund. This bill was broader and also allocated funds for various corrupt “Pork-barrel” federal spending programs.

Some Republicans argue that FEMA’s budget contributes to the national deficit and that the agency’s spending needs to be more tightly controlled. Misallocation of Funds: FEMA funds often diverted to non-disaster-related activities, such as assisting migrants! A majority of Republicans condemn this as Federal bureaucratic corruption of funds. This agency has absolutely no mandate or intended purpose by the language of Carter’s Executive Order to assist migrants.

The current GOP opposition against the Biden government’s pro bureaucratic status-quo federal BIG Brother overreach. Furthermore, many Republicans argue that disaster response, the direct responsibility of State and local governments rather than the extension of federal bureaucratic intervention over States Rights. These Congress-persons despise FEMA carpet-baggers for their corruption!

Bunk Jordan attacked Israel in 1967, not the reverse. Britain separated in 1922 Jordan from its Mandate territory at the Jordan River. In 1950 all member states of the UN except for the two state British imposed “solution” of Pakistan and Britain – expelled from the Jewish state of Israel – refused to condemn Jordans’ illegal annexation of Samaria Israel which it arrogantly renamed as “West Bank”.

DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is a significant program in the United States that affects undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children. DACA was introduced in 2012 during the Obama administration.

Obozo’s Executive Action: DACA – implemented through executive action, which means it can be changed or rescinded by subsequent administrations.

Its primary goal is to provide temporary relief from deportation and allow eligible individuals to work legally in the U.S. The program recognizes that many undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children (often referred to as “Dreamers”) have grown up here, attended school, and consider the U.S. their home.

Arrival Date: They must have arrived in the U.S. before their 16th birthday. Continuous Residence: They should have continuously resided in the U.S. since June 15, 2007. Education or Military Service: They must be in school, have graduated from high school, obtained a GED, or served in the military. No Serious Criminal Record: Applicants cannot have significant criminal convictions.

The Biden administration is actively challenging court decisions that invalidated DACA. A case related to DACA’s validity may be issued as soon as late 2024. On October 10, 2024, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments on DACA. This hearing is crucial and will determine whether DACA can continue or be terminated. The Fifth Circuit has previously ruled that DACA is unlawful.

In the 2024 election, Bob Casey Jr. sought reelection but narrowly lost his seat to Republican challenger David McCormick. In the 2022 U.S. Senate election, McCormick ran as a Republican candidate but narrowly lost the primary to Dr. Mehmet Oz by fewer than 1,000 votes.

As of November 10, 2024, with McCormick leading by 40,000 votes, the Associated Press and Fox News had called the race in his favor. However, other major news networks were awaiting the resolution of over 100,000 outstanding provisional ballots before making a final projection.

McCormick’s academic journey included earning a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from West Point. After graduating from West Point, McCormick attended United States Army Airborne School and completed Ranger School.

He later earned a Ph.D. in international relations from Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs. His doctoral thesis resulted in the book titled “The Downsized Warrior,” which explored the downsizing of the U.S. Army at the end of the Cold War.

Also a military veteran, having served in the United States Army as part of the 82nd Airborne Division during the Persian Gulf War. McCormick was part of the first wave of U.S. troops sent into Iraq during the Gulf War in 1991. His unit was tasked with clearing minefields and destroying enemy munitions in the challenging theater of operations. For his exceptional service during the Gulf War, David McCormick received the Bronze Star.

The New York Post reported Monday that Melania “declined an offer to head to the White House Wednesday and meet with Jill Biden, citing the Biden administration’s past raid on Mar-a-Lago as part of the federal government’s investigation into classified documents.”

Now that makes sense. Holding this corrupt and authoritarian regime accountable and refusing to normalize it or to act as if its criminal acts were just all part of the great game of American politics could be the most consequential and important thing that Melania Trump, or any first lady, has ever done.

The Post quoted an unnamed source who was “familiar with Melania’s decision” and said: “She ain’t going. Jill Biden’s husband authorized the FBI snooping through her underwear drawer. The Bidens are disgusting. Jill Biden isn’t someone Melania needs to meet.” 

This is harsh language, but the source certainly had a point. Donald Trump and Joe Biden aren’t just political opponents after the fashion of Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan or George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Biden is the first president ever to have treated his principal opponent and eventual elected successor as if he were a criminal. What polite veneer can or should remain between the Trumps and the Bidens after that?
