Walmart to Raise Prices Because of Tariffs
Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/15/2025 8:51:58 AM
Walmart said Thursday it plans to raise prices on some goods beginning later this month, in response to President Trump’s tariffs. “We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible but given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” Walmart CEO Doug McMillon is expected to say during a Thursday earnings call, according to prepared remarks obtained by several media outlets. The U.S. and China agreed earlier this week to lower their respective reciprocal tariffs for 90 days as they look to end a bruising trade war

A Wisconsin judge pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges that she helped an illegal immigrant evade federal authorities.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury earlier this week on charges of obstruction and and concealing a person of arrest, for which she faces up to six years in prison if convicted. The Trump administration has defended its prosecution against Dugan, asserting that nobody is above the law.
“Judge Dugan asserts her innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court,” her attorneys said Tuesday. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has temporarily removed Dugan from her post with the case pending.
f you want peace, prepare for war.
For centuries, those six words kept empires intact. They built walls in Rome, silenced tyrants in Berlin, and kept the peace during America’s rise as a superpower. Today, they’re more than just an ancient motto; they are policy, and President Donald J. Trump knows it.
As Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark) put it, that's the difference between the “America First” worldview and the “Blame America First” mindset that preceded it and nearly wrecked us.
Barack Obama’s deal with Iran let the mullahs keep their centrifuges spinning. The regime’s uranium program remained intact, their terror networks well-fed, and their confidence unshaken.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe defended the church’s migration service refusing to resettle new migrants from South Africa and stated that “if you look at this decision, this is really about people who have jumped the line.”
Rowe said, “[L]ook at the thousands of people fleeing war and violence, people who are waking up dead around the world, people who have helped our military that are being left in camps on a daily basis while white Afrikaners have been fast-tracked. You’re right. It is about need. And if you look at this decision, this is really about people who have jumped the line.

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday a $200 billion deal between Qatar Airways and Boeing, a lifeline for the beleaguered American aerospace giant and a powerful symbol of the diplomatic maneuvering defining his presidency.
The agreement, signed in Doha during Trump’s Middle East tour, includes the purchase of 160 Boeing jets by the state-owned Qatari carrier.
“It’s over $200 billion, but 160 in terms of the jets. That’s fantastic,” Trump said at the signing ceremony, flanked by Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Boeing Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg. The deal marks a rare bright spot for Boeing, whose fortunes have been in freefall.

The case of around 50 white Afrikaner refugees from South Africa has turned the political discourse upside down. After years of never finding a migrant they didn't approve of, Democrats and their press allies are suddenly greatly offended that President Donald Trump would dare grant asylum to a statistically insignificant number of people.
On CNN, former Obama campaign official and current analyst Ashley Allison went on a racist rant, proclaiming they should go back to "Germany" if they don't like the "law of the land" of being persecuted financially and physically. Notably, Afrikaners, who migrated to South Africa some 400 years ago, aren't from Germany,
California Governor Gavin Newsom said Wednesday he wants the state to stop enrolling more low-income illegal immigrants in a state-funded health care program, beginning next year.
Under Newsom’s plan, the state would not end coverage for illegal immigrants who are already enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. However, the state would begin charging adults with “unsatisfactory immigrant status” a monthly premium of $100 beginning in 2027.
Newsom’s announcement comes after the governor previously said in March he was not considering rolling back health benefits for low-income illegal immigrants, even as the state contended with a $6.2 billion Medicaid shortfall.
Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Muhammad Sinwar, was targeted in a massive Israeli airstrike at a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip on Tuesday afternoon, security sources said.
The Israel Defense Forces, which did not confirm if Sinwar was killed, said in a statement that it had targeted Hamas operatives at an underground command center belonging to the terror group, below the European Hospital in Khan Younis. The military also released footage from the aftermath of the strike. The video purported to show that the IDF strike had uncovered the tunnel under the hospital, though the footage showed an adjacent school and not the medical center.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is investigating whether Harvard University unlawfully hires faculty based on race and sex, arguing that the school’s own data provides evidence of discrimination. The probe is the latest federal action against the beleaguered university, which last month sued the Trump administration over its decision to freeze more than $2 billion in aid to the Ivy League school.
In a document initiating the investigation, the EEOC cited materials on Harvard’s website—many of them now deleted—in which the school bragged about increasing the number of "women, non-binary, and/or people of color" on the faculty. The largest increase was in the share of non-white tenure-track faculty
Harvard can't claim they weren't warned. Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent a letter a week ago to Harvard president Alan Garber warning him to start complying with the administration's interpretation of the Civil Rights Act and two Supreme Court decisions on discrimination.
Harvard ignored the letter until yesterday, when Garber tried sweet-talking McMahon out of her decision to disqualify Harvard from any federal funding until they acted to end discrimination and anti-Semitic intimidation campaigns on campus. Garber tried to argue that he and McMahon were sympatico on those goals, but just differed on how to achieve them:
Beege's excellent post on the financial bonanza that Trump's tariffs have brought highlights one side of the story that the Pravda Media didn't expect.
JP Morgan's reversal of its prediction that Trump's trade policy would usher in a recession tells the other side.
All the "best people" have missed the point of Trump's moves to reshape world trade. JP Morgan's prediction that the tariffs would usher in a serious recession was not insane. Any economist will tell you that, all other things being equal, reducing the friction involved in people trading will reduce the efficiency of the market. Inefficient markets increase costs, reduce economic activity, and lead to lower growth.

Pete Rose is finally out of MLB’s doghouse, and he has some company.
Rose, placed on the league’s permanently ineligible list in August 1989 over gambling on baseball, was reinstated by commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday — and was joined by “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, according to ESPN.
“Obviously, a person no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game,” Manfred wrote in a letter to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov, who petitioned for Rose’s removal from the list Jan. 8, per the outlet. “Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve.

New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen, who campaigned for Kamala Harris in 2024 and for every Democrat presidential nominee since John Kerry, had an epic show-long meltdown at the opening concert for his European tour in Manchester, England, Wednesday night over President Donald Trump’s triumphant return to the presidency.
Springsteen called Trump and his administration, “corrupt, incompetent and treasonous,” and an “unfit president and a rogue government,” among many criticisms.
Not a word by Springsteen about Trump working to bring good paying blue collar jobs back to America for the people whom Springsteen has made a career out of channeling their economic woes,

Did former FBI Director James Comey call for the assassination of President Trump?
James Comey posted a cryptic message to his Instagram account on Thursday spelled out in seashells: “86 47”
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption. [Instagram]
Some interpreted Comey’s cryptic message as a serious threat. [Tweets]
It is no secret that James Comey despises President Trump.
Comey was fired as FBI Director by Trump in 2017 while he was leading an investigation into the president during his first term.
Shortly after the firing, it was revealed that James Comey penned several memos stemming from nine confidential conversations he had with President Trump.

The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to approve a sweeping package of minimum wage increases for workers in the tourism industry, despite objections from business leaders who warned that the region is already facing a slowdown in international travel. The proposal, billed by labor leaders as the highest minimum wage in the country, would require hotels with more than 60 rooms, as well as companies doing business at Los Angeles International Airport, to pay their workers $30 per hour by 2028. That translates to a 48% hike in the minimum wage for hotel employees over three years. Airport workers
Ed Martin, the new DOJ pardon attorney and head of the Weaponization Working Group, isn’t wasting time. This week, he announced a review of the shady “autopen” pardons Joe Biden’s team rushed through in its final days. “These deserve some scrutiny,” he said.
That’s an understatement. As PJ Media has previously reported, Biden’s White House frequently used an autopen to sign executive orders and pardons, which raised serious doubts as to whether Biden was even involved in the process.
In March, the Oversight Project dropped a bombshell memo detailing 32 instances where the Biden White House used an autopen to sign off on clemency warrants —
As we reported, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, fired two officials on the National Intelligence Council: Mike Collins, the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, according to senior intelligence officials.
Gabbard also moved the agency under her office so she could block any "politicization of intelligence."
The execrable former CIA head John Brennan had a meltdown when he was asked by MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace about the situation. Look at how angry he is and the wild blinking. "This whole thing just makes me livid," he ranted.
A 15-year-old illegal immigrant who killed a Colorado drug rehab worker in a high-speed crash in a residential neighborhood was given a slap on the wrist by a Democratic prosecutor, endorsed by several prominent party members.
The juvenile Colombian national, who cannot be named due to state law, was sentenced to two years of probation and 100 hours of community service for the July 2024 death of Kaitlyn Weaver.
Arapahoe County District Attorney Amy Padden offered the teen the plea deal if he admitted guilt in the deadly crash, promised to attend school and not break any more laws, CBS News Colorado reported.
Not long after Michelino Sunseri, a professional mountain runner, finished a race across Grand Teton last fall, he found himself on the receiving end of a Justice Department criminal charge. His offense? Running on a closed trail, for which he could end up serving six months in jail.
We are not making this up.
Last Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designed to prevent such gross abuses. It is one of the most important – and underappreciated – actions he’s taken.
The “crime” Sunseri committed wasn’t a federal law passed by Congress. It was a crime invented by the National Park Service – one of some 300,000
The Secret Service is investigating after ex-FBI Director James Comey posted an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to make the numbers "86 47" — a message that White House officials swiftly condemned as an attempt to put out a "hit" against the 47th president.
Comey later deleted the post after online backlash from government officials, lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s son. Trump has faced two assassination attempts — one of which resulted in him being shot and a bystander being killed — in the past year.
The post including the alleged "hit" showed the numbers in question etched into the sand at a beach using seashells.
Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar dropped his ill-fated effort to force the House to vote on his impeachment resolution against President Donald Trump following widespread pressure from Democrats to stand down. Thanedar, an embattled two-term lawmaker facing a primary challenge from the left, filed a privileged resolution Tuesday that would have forced House Democrats to vote on seven articles of impeachment brought against the president. Thanedar’s decision to cave to House Democratic leadership and not trigger a vote Wednesday, comes as Democrats viewed his impeachment effort as a distraction from the conference’s united opposition against the president’s “one big, beautiful bill.”
In 2023, Germany shuttered its last nuclear plant, and in 2024, wind energy became the nation’s largest single source of electricity, supplying 31.9%. But now it’s 2025, and as the staff at Remix News reported yesterday, “Germany’s wind lull is slamming electricity production” and creating losses in the millions.
Here’s the story:
Germany: Wind power firms face millions in losses as wind speed drops to 50-year low
The wind speed average has dropped below less than 5.5 meters per second in the first quarter of 2025, according to [the] German Meteorological Service (DWD).
