WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on March 6, making amendments to tariffs recently imposed on Mexico and Canada. According to the orders, goods that fall under the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be exempt from tariffs until April 2. The USMCA was enacted during the first Trump administration. “USMCA compliant goods will not have a tariff for the next month until April 2,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a statement. “That includes autos, and the autos were the lead in getting this deal done.”He said Canada and Mexico have done a good job of offering the United States help in curbing fentanyl trafficking.

Previously French President Emmanuel Macron refused to commit to putting French troops together with U.K troops on the ground in Ukraine. Politically in France, Macron is on the ropes. Obviously, such a direct commitment of troops into Ukraine would put tenuously positioned Macron in an even worse position. However, putting French technical support systems into place to replace the withdrawn U.S. targeting system just sounds better.

Macron said in an address to the nation on Wednesday that Russia was “a threat for France and Europe”, that the Ukraine was already a “global conflict”(snip) would open a debate about extending the French nuclear

The original information from an FBI whistleblower first surfaced in 2022. Essentially the information was that the DNC contracted law firm of Perkins Coie had an FBI workstation in their DC office since 2012.The Perkins Coie workstation (collocated by the FBI) has access to the NSA database on all Americans, including political figures. The Democrats contracted with Perkins Coie for “political research.”
It doesn’t take a lot of thinking to realize what this set up was all about; Perkins Coie could do opposition research on any candidate and feed that information to the DNC for use in their campaigning.
This means both Marc Elias (DNC lawyer) and Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer

Ukraine Plan and Military Defense Without

The 27 leaders of the European Union countries are meeting tomorrow, Thursday, in Brussels with an urgent agenda to figure out what to do with Ukraine and their own security state if the USA draws-down military support.
After years of taking little action, the EU leaders are now facing a crisis situation trying to figure out how to pay for expanded military for their own defense. The latest proposal from EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen calls for €800 billion in EU defense spending, much of it from secured loans to various EU countries.
Expressing frustration over the intransigence of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who demands to maintain the killing fields in Europe, President Trump says, “America will not put up with it much longer.” The remarks by Zelenskyy follow a meeting in London with various EU leaders who are assembling a ‘coalition of the willing’ to support Ukraine with enlarged military operations. Zelenskyy tells the AP:
““We are talking about the first steps today, and therefore, until they are on paper, I would not like to talk about them in great detail.” “An agreement to end the war is still very, very far away, and no one has started
THE WHITE HOUSE — The Trump administration promised to “take action” if Americans’ speech is censored by U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s crackdown on free speech.
In response to a question from The Federalist about the United Kingdom’s suppression of free speech, Trump said it was a “very important” issue that his administration is talking to the U.K. government about.
Trump said that he spoke to Starmer about his censorship regime during their visit, and that Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio had also brought up the concern.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues to shine as he speaks through the issues of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and speaks commonsense to the dynamic the western media pretends not to know.
Appearing on ABC, Secretary Rubio cuts to the chase in his support of President Trump and the administration officials who are organizing the most practical end to war, destruction and bloodshed. (snip)
The Zelenskyy defenders, NATO and the EU must pretend the U.S didn’t carry out a color revolution in Ukraine. They must also pretend they didn’t install Volodymyr Zelenskyy and pretend there was no civil war happening inside Ukraine for a decade

President Donald Trump is preparing to cancel a 2022 sanctions relief agreement with Venezuela, citing the country’s election conditions and insufficient efforts to repatriate its citizens from the United States.
On Nov. 26, 2022, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) issued a license authorizing the U.S. multinational oil and gas company Chevron Corp. to pursue business ventures in Venezuela.
President Joe Biden’s administration had offered the license agreement as Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro held talks with his political opposition to hold a free and fair election in 2024.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is holding a Ukraine summit in London today with EU leaders, following two phone calls with President Trump.
According to the outline Starmer proposed on BBC News, following the disastrous Zelenskyy meeting in the White House, the British PM called President Trump and also Emmanuel Macron. According to his statements, Starmer told Trump he would work with Macron +2 unidentified countries (a “coalition of the willing”), to organize an EU security force for a Ukraine ceasefire; then the group will require Trump to provide a U.S. troop “backstop” as an insurance policy.
Starmer completely ignores the NATO provocations against Russia that preceded the military operation
Not unexpectedly, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ruled that unelected bureaucrat, Hampton Dellinger, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel head has more unilateral power within the executive branch of government than President Donald Trump. [RULING pdf HERE]This ruling stems from the same mindset as former AG Bill Barr, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy AG Sally Yates, former IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson, and the entire organization of professional Lawfare activists that includes Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen. The collective belief is that in the modern “continuity of government” framework, the bureaucracy of government controls things, not the elected and plenary President.
The same traitors Same who colluded in Trump’s first impeachment and Russia hoax: Zelenskyy, Sullivan, Blinken, Rice, Nuland, and Vindman were the architects of Zelensky’s blowing up the peace talks. They are acting as foreign agents.
This is treasonous and most certainly a violation of the Logan Act. Ironically, this treasonous act will have the opposite effect of what they intended – chalk another up to the law of unintended consequences.

Hunter Biden has asked a federal judge to drop the laptop hacking lawsuit he slapped against a former Trump White House aide — because he’s “millions of dollars” in debt, “exacerbated” by losing a home in the Los Angeles wildfires, court filings show.
The embattled former first son, 55, blamed the recent fires, as well as dwindling sales from his artwork and memoir, for him being plagued by “significant debt” keeping him from “litigating this case” against Garrett Ziegler, according to a motion filed in federal court in California on Wednesday.

Poll: Public Opposes ‘Gold Card’ Visa Plan
31 replies
The public does not like President Donald Trump’s plan to sell “Gold Card” citizenships to wealthy foreigners, according to a Rasmussen poll.
The Gold Card plan is strongly supported by only 22 percent of likely voters, including just 38 percent of Republicans, according to the February 27 to March 3 poll of 1,180 likely voters.
The plan to sell Gold Cards for $5 million is strongly opposed by 33 percent of all respondents, including 36 percent of “moderates.”
Overall, the plan is strongly or somewhat backed by 41 percent and opposed by a plurality of 47 percent.
That opposition matches the national mood, which is increasingly opposed

Cairo—The Hamas militant group on Thursday brushed off President Donald Trump’s latest threat and reiterated that it will only free the remaining Israeli hostages in exchange for a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas accused Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to back out of the ceasefire agreement they reached in January. The agreement calls for negotiations over a second phase in which the hostages would be released in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
Hamas spokesman Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua said the “best path to free the remaining Israeli hostages” is through negotiations on that phase, which were supposed to begin
Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump is a “petty tyrant’ surrounded by “complicit flunkies.”
Abrams said, “I have a podcast called ‘Assembly Required’ and we have been having this conversation for the last six weeks and we have to do all of the above. We have to call out Donald Trump on his lies. We have to point out that an unelected oligarch is doing his best to steal America from its people in Elon Musk.”
She added, “We have a complicit Congress that is allowing him to fire thousands of people
We've been covering how extremely anti-Trump Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has been, especially recently, throwing out all sorts of accusations about President Donald Trump. Just when it seems she couldn't go any further, she comes up with a worse comment. Democrats' performative tricks weren't merely limited to the outbursts in the chamber on Tuesday night when Trump gave a speech before a joint session of Congress. Crockett did her own event, "24-Hour State of the People Marathon," meant to counter Trump's speech. It was then that she made some rather noteworthy remarks about Trump, immigration, and black people.
Take that, Donald Trump. The View host Whoopi Goldberg revealed Thursday she has “no plans” to return to the Kennedy Center until it returns to “what it was supposed to be” in the time before the president took over.
Whoopi’s announcement came during Wednesday’s episode of the talk show, as she and her co-hosts discussed the Hamilton producers canceling the Tony Award-winning musical’s spring 2026 run at the Kennedy Center in D.C., the Wrap reports. In canceling, the producers explicitly cited Trump’s takeover as the reason, as Breitbart News reported.
“I understand why they did it, and I have no plans to go back to the Kennedy Center, until
The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one.
What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden's actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment.
Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn't recall signing the executive order halting LNG exports?
Representative Al Green (D-TX) said Thursday on “TMZ Live” that he will file articles of impeachment after he was escorted out of the House of Representatives for interrupting President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.
When asked about possibly being removed from Congressional committees, Green said, “Well, I had a reporter to approach me and call this to my attention. I am here to serve the people of the 9th Congressional District. I believe that I have taken this oath that I have taken, and I pledge to do that. I would hope that they wouldn’t. I would not agree with it.

President Trump on Thursday stripped security clearances of the employees at DNC law firm Perkins Coie.
Recall that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid law firm Perkins Coie more than $1 million to hire oppo research firm Fusion GPS to peddle the bogus ‘Trump-Russia’ dossier during the 2016 election.
Former British spy Christopher Steele compiled over a dozen memos alleging the Russians had blackmail on Trump and that his associates were conspiring with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election.

Former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that President Donald Trump’s policies were going to “incite revolution.”
When asked about tariffs, Dean said, “You know this applies not just to red states like Kentucky. We’re getting hurt badly in Vermont because we’re right next to Canada, and there are a whole lot of Canadians who own houses here, but they’re not coming to ski. We’ve got the biggest snowfall we’ve had in years and years, and Canadians aren’t coming. That’s an important part of our business. So it hurts everybody. The Canadians are mad. I would be mad,
