We begin with Trump’s furious reaction to the new unfavorable job report and continue with his tariffs policy which is backfiring on America; his new (proposed) tariff rates; and an interesting development regarding a pending court decision on the constitutionality of his tariffs. We also report further on the “deal” between the EU and the USA. Please view our recent StandingWatch program, titled, “US-EU Trade Deal—Biggest Deal Ever Made, or a Disaster?”
We speak on the turmoil in the Middle East (especially related to Palestine; Hamas and Gaza); actions in the Far East; fights between Republicans and Democrats; more discrepancies in the Epstein debacle; and conclude with new discoveries regarding the Shroud of Turin and Canada’s [and America’s] appalling hypocrisy related to their Covid policies; as well as a welcome decision by Robert F.

Throughout this section, we have underlined pertinent statements in the quoted articles, for the convenience and quick overview of the reader.
