The Bank has been advising developing countries to get a deal done quickly with the United States, and to then focus attention on cutting trade barriers and boosting regional flows of goods, Banga said.

Patel captioned the photo, “No one is above the law.” (Photos) Mid-day Friday, Patel posted, deleted, then reposted an announcement of the arrest of Dugan:

President Donald Trump’s administration has declared war on those who declared war on American citizens.
After all, among other things, the Trump administration values freedom, security, merit, and health. And those who declared war on American citizens did so in part by attacking all of those things.

In yet another stunning failure of leadership from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, a now-former employee of the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) has been arrested at the southern border for alleged human smuggling of illegal aliens — a scandal that now threatens to sink Hobbs’ controversial nominee to lead the agency.
Joshua Castro, who served as a produce inspector for the AZDA, is facing both felony and misdemeanor federal charges after Border Patrol agents caught him allegedly transporting illegal aliens across the U.S. border earlier this month, KOLD reported.

Arrest of Judge for Allegedly Shielding Migrant 6 replies
All day Friday, numerous Democrats railed at the FBI’s surprise arrest of an activist judge for allegedly helping an illegal migrant escape deportation, prompting White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to play political whac-a-mole in response.
Democrats “spent the last 8 years stripping Americans of due process to jail them for protected political activity” and for “illegally spying on the Trump Campaign,” Miller said in a post on X.
Democrats used the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the spy agencies “to pursue political enemies” and to launch “a coup” against President Donald Trump, Miller added.
Longtime Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang received applause and laughter from The View co-hosts and the show’s audience after he called Vice President JD Vance “a pope killer.”
Co-host Sara Haines asked Yang playing Vance on the NBC sketch comedy show. “I just thought there would be better people for it,” Yang said. “It was my impostor syndrome. I was like, there are better people for this. I worked with an accent coach, I had to get it between Ohio and Appalachia with the accent. It’s hard, it’s very subtle!”
Whoopi Goldberg told Yang his Vance portrayal “was funny as hell.”
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) is calling for an “uprising” in the streets of the United States until President Donald Trump stops his agenda of increased interior immigration enforcement.
This week, Wilson joined other House Democrats in touring the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Krome Detention Center, which holds criminal illegal aliens while they await their deportations from the U.S. Following the tour, Wilson held a press conference where she told voters to call the offices of congressional Republicans and “threaten” them. She also called for an “uprising” in the streets until the Trump administration stops arresting and deporting illegal aliens.

A woke California PhD student is going viral online after declining a coveted NASA internship she spent “years” seeking — and she’s blaming “the current administration” for her shocking decision.
Daniela Lucas, a 26-year-old bioengineering student at UC San Diego, recently uploaded a TikTok video showing her dramatically selecting “Decline Offer” for an internship in NASA’s Human Health and Performance program.
“No one tells you how hard it is to reject an offer from your dream internship at NASA because of the current administration,” Lucas, 26, wrote over the video.
“I worked years to receive this letter, just to have to decline,” she added, including a crying face and devil emoji.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has formally terminated the service of every member sitting on the Department of Defense’s advisory committees.
Based on the information available on the website two days ago, the now-defunct panels included several well-known Democrats and Bush-era Republicans.
Janine Davidson (Chair) – Former Under Secretary of the Navy under Obama. A staunch Democrat and longtime proponent of Obama-era military reforms, now steering Pentagon policy advice.
Michèle Flournoy – Held major Pentagon roles under Clinton and Obama; often discussed as a potential Secretary of Defense under Hillary Clinton or Biden.
Colin Kahl – National Security Advisor to then-VP Biden, later Under Secretary of Defense for Policy under Biden. .
Susan Rice, an ally of Barack Obama who served in multiple roles in both his and Joe Biden's administrations, called Pete Hegseth 'dumb as a rock' after he fired her from a Pentagon policy board.
Rice, 60, was the United States' Ambassador to the United Nations during Obama's first term and served as his National Security Advisor for his second.
She also spent two years as the director of the Domestic Policy Council under Biden and has served as a member of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee at the Pentagon.
Here at American Thinker, we predicted that AOC is a real possibility as the 2028 Democrat party presidential candidate. Yesterday, AOC made it plain that she thinks so, too. AOC’s appeal to the left is obvious: She’s female, glib, telegenic, well-recognized, vaguely Hispanic, antisemitic, and a truly leftist ideologue. Bernie Sanders rightly sees her as the bridge between his old-fashioned class warfare and the new multi-culti warfare, both vehicles for the Marxist overthrow of the West. That’s why the two of them have been appearing in venues across America to rally the true believers.
Procter & Gamble and other prominent corporations fund a "racial justice" group whose leader, a former Obama White House official, lashed out this week at what he called "white mediocrity" and urged a "woke" army of black youth "to wage war with whiteness."
David Johns, who led President Barack Obama’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, made the remarks at an event Tuesday to promote a boycott against Target for rolling back its DEI programs.
Johns is the executive director of the National Black Justice Coalition, a black LGBT group that aims to fight "anti-Blackness." The nonprofit lists companies like Airbnb, Sephora, Sony, and Procter & Gamble as sponsors.

At a recent town hall in Georgia, Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) made it clear that he believes President Donald Trump’s actions justify impeachment, even as Trump remains widely popular in the state Ossoff represents. The exchange took place during a tense back-and-forth with an unhinged Karen who demanded that Ossoff do more to remove Trump from office.
The woman, sounding like she was auditioning to be a co-host of "The View," railed against what she called “authoritative rule” and demanded drastic action. “I will not live in an authoritative country, and neither will any of these people,” she shouted. “He needs to be impeached. I will not live like this…
Former President Joe Biden, the nation’s second Catholic president, will attend Pope Francis‘s funeral this weekend in Rome.
“President Biden and Dr. Biden will attend Pope Francis’s funeral,” a Biden spokesperson confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
Biden did not attend the funeral of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in 2023, which occurred during his presidency. Benedict served as pope from 2005 through 2013, when he took the unusual step of becoming pope emeritus at 85.
Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush will not attend the funeral.
Sen. Adam Schiff revealed that his luggage was stolen in South San Francisco two years ago, and that a clerk in a nearby Target afterwards “basically said in not so many words, yeah, Democrats are a—holes” when he went shopping for toiletries.
The Golden State senator used the anecdote to acknowledge that Democrats have a “major problem” and are fundamentally “going to have to change how we do business in California.”
“We’re going to have to address people’s legitimate concerns about crime,” Schiff (D-Calif.) reflected on “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday.

Former President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden arrived at Saint Peter’s Square in Vatican City Saturday morning for Pope Francis’ funeral.
The 82-year-old, who met Pope Francis three times as vice president, held onto his wife and a priest as he cautiously walked down the stairs to the seating area.
The Bidens are not sitting near President Donald Trump as they are not current heads of state. Instead, they are sitting further back in the foreign dignitaries section.
