@CHEK_News One side sees a tax base, the other a tax burden.

We've been over this.

The 'importer of record' pays the tariffs.

A threatened US tariff on Canadian auto parts will be paid by US auto assembly.

Without those specific parts, auto assembly throughout the US would halt.

US auto assembly will be on the phone to the WH today.

I wish I could thank everyone personally who has donated to The Kyra Fund. Your generosity has been overwhelming. Funds have already been put to work. We won’t stop. We will continue to raise money until there is a cure. We miss & love you, Kyra. So much. https://t.co/Do9CTJ0dm9

@BNNBloomberg Countries don't "dodge" tarrifs. Consumers stop buying the taxed products.

Earlier this season, Julio Rodríguez homered on Lou Gehrig Day while wearing a "4 ALS" wristband.

Tonight, at Yankee Stadium, J-Rod gave that wristband to our good friend @slangsonsports 💙

The Yankees have received a massive capital infusion of $2.6 billion via a deal with an arm of Apollo Global Management.

The deal is a mix of debt and equity and will allow the Yankees to refinance or retire much of their existing debt.

Sickening

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero regret and openly boasting about tormenting people. The man was wounded in the blast. Every single day, ordinary people in Kherson face these Russian "safaris."

The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians. Without pressure on Russia, the dismantling of its capacity for aggression, and real security guarantees, it is simply impossible to imagine the world being able to coexist with this evil. We must remain resolute in defending life. We must act and support life in ways that force Russia to seriously think about peace rather than expanding the range of its drones.

This is not just about Ukraine. Russia’s campaign against human life must be stopped here in Ukraine before it spreads further. Finland and Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Poland, the countries of the South Caucasus, Romania, and Moldova—all should work together to ensure real security guarantees and bring Russia’s war to an end. Peace is needed, which requires cooperation among everyone in the world who truly values peace. Thank you to everyone standing with Ukraine!

The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

America’s Credit Card Is Maxed Out
The 30-year Treasury yield now sits above 5.1 percent, having spiked to 5.18 in May, its highest level since 2007, on the eve of the financial crisis.

Markets are no longer whispering about American fiscal credibility. They are shouting.

Consider the arithmetic. When yields last touched these heights, the US national debt stood at $8.35 trillion. Today it is nearly $39.5 trillion, almost five times larger, and growing by roughly four trillion dollars a year.

This is not a country managing its finances. This is a country that is functionally bankrupt, living on its credit card and spending like drunken sailors on shore leave, except sailors eventually sober up.

America cannot afford these rates. And with inflation reaccelerating and the Fed tilting toward hikes rather than cuts, the rates coming next will be higher still. The bill always arrives.

Social Security starts running out of money in 6 years, as Republicans keep spending America into record debt. By the end of this term, Trump will be responsible for 35% of all US debt accumulated across 250 years of US history.

It has taken Donald Trump's America to make Europeans realize that it is not just scary to look after itself without the USA--but that it also has strategic benefits.
As those benefits become clearer Europe will strengthen and the USA will have weakened itself.
