By Amanda Macias As the Trump administration weighs implementing tariffs on Mexican beer , a new report argues the move would hurt the very American workers it is intended to protect by squeezing one of the U.S. beer market's most profitable segments. The report, authored by Unleash Prosperity co-founder Stephen Moore and economist David Ozgo, comes as the Trump administration continues to expand its tariff agenda, which officials say is aimed at re-shoring manufacturing, reducing trade deficits and strengthening American industry. "There probably are some products for which tariffs are appropriate — products where there might be national security implications," Ozgo told Fox News Digital. "But obviously, beer is not one of those products." While Mexican beer is brewed south of the border, Ozgo said most of the jobs it supports, like distribution, wholesaling and retailing, are in the United States. The brewer of Modelo claimed the No. 1 spot i...

By Shirit Avitan Cohen The Board of Peace will launch a pilot program in the coming weeks to manage humanitarian shelters in areas of the Gaza Strip that are not under Hamas control, Israel Hayom has learned. The first area to which civilians with no weapons or affiliation with Hamas will be directed is Tel Sultan, near Rafah. Multinational forces under the Board of Peace's management will also arrive in the area and will be based at a facility built for them at Camp Amitai, near the Strip. They are expected to be equipped with nonlethal weapons to maintain order in the humanitarian zones, while the Israel Defense Forces will continue to hold its positions and deepen its grip on areas beyond the yellow line. Medical aid and food will be sent into the humanitarian shelters in an effort to loosen Hamas' hold on the population, piece by piece, across parts of the Strip. Gazans evacuate amid widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip. ...

By Jacob Wheeler President Donald Trump on Wednesday expressed excitement for the first flight of the new Air Force One, calling the Qatari-gifted jet “the greatest commercial plane ever built.” Trump spoke to reporters on the tarmac before departing to North Dakota for the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. “So, this will be the first flight of what I think is maybe the greatest commercial plane ever built,” Trump said. “I think you know, to be honest with you, I’m excited about the first flight.

By ELIZABETH WEIBEL President Donald Trump trolled the Supreme Court, congratulating Chinese dictator Xi Jinping and China on the court’s ruling rejecting Trump’s reform of birthright citizenship in the United States. “I would like to congratulate President Xi, and the Great Country of China, on their massive Birthright Citizenship WIN!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

By Jonathan Turley We have previously discussed how many professors seem to compete in finding new forms of racism in every facet of society and education. Astrophysics, math, runoffs, science, statistics, and meritocracy have all been denounced as racist. In this academic cottage industry, professors secure publications and speaking opportunities by identifying racism in the expressions, images, or entire fields. It was, therefore, only a matter of time before time itself was declared racist . Zakia Essanhaji , a professor of “organizational ethnography” at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, is the latest to make the case against “white time.” Her recent paper titled “Academic time theft: stealing time, producing racialized inclusion in Dutch academia” builds on prior work condemning time as racist. Rutgers Women’s and Gender Studies/Africana Studies Professor Brittney Cooper has also written about how time is racist. Mainstream media has positively cooed at the suggestion, inc...

By Cam Edwards There are now two injunctions blocking enforcement of the ban on so-called assault firearms and large capacity magazines set to take effect on July 1, after a judge in Washington County, Virginia sided with the National Rifle Association, Virginia Shooting Sports Association, and several individual gun owner and gun sellers who'd sued over the law.  Washington Circuit Judge Jeffrey Campbell handed down his ruling on Monday afternoon, delivering a big win to the plaintiffs and a stinging defeat to the defendants, including multiple Commonwealth's Attorneys and Virginia State Police Col. Jeffrey Katz. The head of the VSP is already blocked from enforcing the law thanks to an injunction granted by a Lancaster County judge last week in a GOA/VCDL suit, but today's injunction is broader in its scope... and according to the plaintiffs, applies statewide.  In his ruling , Campbell stated that, given the sweeping nature of the ban and the arms in question, the pl...
