What happens when you threaten tariffs on countries? They start to back down.

Under Trump’s previous order, a 25% tariff was applied to all Mexican and Canadian goods that aren’t compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

IsraelOn Tuesday, Israel announced the cancellation of all remaining tariffs on imports from the United States. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that this move is intended to strengthen economic ties with the U.S. and lower living costs in Israel.

VietnamVietnam has outlined plans to reduce tariffs on several U.S. products, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), automobiles, and ethanol. The tariff on American LNG will decrease from 5% to 2%, on cars from a range of 45%-64% to 32%, and on ethanol from 10% to 5%. These measures aim to lower Vietnam’s trade surplus with the U.S. and avoid potential U.S. tariffs. Below is what happened yesterday afternoon.

IndiaIndia is considering cutting tariffs on over half of U.S. imports, valued at $23 billion, to protect its $66 billion in exports from impending U.S. reciprocal tariffs. Negotiations are underway, with India indicating a willingness to significantly lower or entirely remove tariffs on many U.S. goods, contingent on the U.S. providing relief from the reciprocal tariffs.

SwitzerlandSwiss Economic Affairs Minister Guy Parmelin emphasized that Switzerland has eliminated industrial tariffs, allowing almost 99% of U.S. goods to enter the country duty-free. This move is part of Switzerland’s efforts to avoid tariffs imposed by the U.S. under the new policy.

What part of being a probationary employee don’t these folks understand?

What part of being a probationary employee don’t these folks understand?

For some reason folks don’t comprehend that if you’re a probationary employee you can be let go. No reason isn’t needed. But yet you have the deadbeats crying the blues.

I saw where a person had about six months on the job and went and bought a house. Why would you do something like that?

Even Union workers can be fired or laid off if still on probation. I went through that with several jobs I had as a union employee. I made my probationary period, but when layoffs came the youngest in seniority were the first to go.

You make the call. Stem Cell Treatment Improves Alzheimer’s Symptoms.

You make the call. Stem Cell Treatment Improves Alzheimer’s Symptoms.

A small sampling, more study is needed.

A new study found that a novel treatment using stem cells improves symptoms in Alzheimer’s patients.

Unlike traditional treatments that target amyloid plaques, laromestrocel (Lomecel-B) harnesses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) donated from fresh bone marrow to reduce inflammation and promote brain repair.

The study, published in Nature Medicine, found that the treatment was effective in slowing cognitive decline and reducing brain volume loss in patients with mild to severe Alzheimer’s.

The 36 study participants in the trial who received stem cell infusions demonstrated cognitive improvements, brain structure preservation, and a better quality of life, compared to the 12 patients who received placebo infusions.

The patients receiving laromestrocel experienced a 20-30% reduction in left and right brain ventricular enlargement — an encouraging sign of the drug’s disease-modifying potential, according to the researchers. In addition, the infusions were well tolerated by the study participants.

“This Nature Medicine publication reinforces laromestrocel’s safety and efficacy as a potential treatment for mild Alzheimer’s disease and paves the way for more advances in utilizing cell therapy,” Dr. Joshua Hare, the founder and chief science officer of Longeveron, the maker of laromestrocel, said in a statement.

It’s the first cell therapy to receive Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for Alzheimer’s, along with Fast Track status for expedited review.

Shocking News for those deadbeat union workers. Appeals court rules NLRB member can be fired.

A federal appeals court has cleared the way for President Trump to finally fire members of the labor and workforce protection boards.

President Trump previously fired Cathy Harris, the Democrat chairwoman of the Merit Systems Protection Board, a Biden holdover – she was then rehired by a corrupt Obama judge.

Trump also fired Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board – she was then rehired by a corrupt Obama judge.

The Trump DOJ fought back and a federal appeals court agreed that President Trump indeed has the authority to fire them without cause.

What happens when you spend so much time at Popeye’s? Obese Progressive Black Supremacist Texas Man Rammed ATV into Parked Teslas in Hit-and-Run Spree

What happens when you spend so much time at Popeye’s?Obese Progressive Black Supremacist Texas Man Rammed ATV into Parked Teslas in Hit-and-Run Spree.

KTBS reports that Demarqeyun Marquize Cox, 33, was taken into custody by the Texarkana Police Department after one of his alleged attacks was captured on video by the very Tesla he intentionally crashed into. The incident occurred while the electric vehicle’s owner, Virita Carstaffin, was having lunch inside a nearby restaurant.

This incident is the latest in a series of violent assaults and domestic terrorism against the Elon-Musk-owned company, following the billionaire’s work inside the Trump administration. Several arsonists have been accused of setting fire to Tesla vehicles at dealerships, while others have defaced the cars with anti-Trump graffiti. In response, US Attorney General Pam Bondi has charged three of the instigators with domestic terrorism for their alleged crimes, with each facing up to 20 years in prison.
