Trump slaps steel, aluminum tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and E

The U.S. will impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union, the Trump administration announced Thursday.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told reporters that there will be a 25 percent tariff on imported steel and 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum beginning midnight.

President Trump announced the tariffs in March, claiming the penalties were necessary to ensure the U.S. maintains a viable steel industry. But he granted exemptions to Europe, along with Mexico and Canada, in an effort to see if negotiations might let the two sides agree on some other solution. The deadline was June 1.

Trump to pardon conservative author Dinesh D'Souza

President Trump announced Thursday that he will pardon Dinesh D’Souza, a conservative author and documentary filmmaker who pleaded guilty in 2014 to campaign finance fraud.

“Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government!” Trump tweeted.

Will be giving a Full Pardon to Dinesh D’Souza today. He was treated very unfairly by our government!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2018

D’Souza pleaded guilty in 2014 to a federal charge of making illegal campaign donations to the U.S. Senate campaign of a Republican candidate running in New York.

The conservative author directed his assistant and a woman he was romantically involved with to contribute to Republican Wendy Long’s campaign on behalf of themselves and their spouses for a combined $20,000 in contributions. The conservative filmmaker then reimbursed the two $10,000 each in cash for the donations to Long's campaign.

Long challenged Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., for the Senate in 2012.

Prosecutors said D’Souza then misled Long about the contributions before coming clean.

During his sentencing, D’Souza avoided prison time. Instead, he was sentenced by a federal judge in Manhattan in September 2014 to five years of probation, which included eight months of living in a “community confinement center” in California. D’Souza was also required to pay a $30,000 fine.

Samantha Bee Calls Ivanka Trump ‘C*nt’

Works for Time Warner, Same Parent Company as CNN

On Wednesday’s “Full Frontal” on TBS, host Samantha Bee slammed the Trump administration over separating children from their families at the border and urged Ivanka Trump “do something about your dad’s immigration practices you feckless c*nt.”

Bee said, “Ivanka Trump, who works at the White House, chose to post the second most oblivious tweet we’ve seen this week. You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless c*nt. He listens to you. Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes, OK?”

TBS is a Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., company, which in turn is owned by Time Warner, Inc.

North Korea and US ramp up talks in three locations

The US and North Korea are both deploying the widest range of diplomatic assets as their highly anticipated summit in Singapore, set for June 12, approaches – signaling that both sides want, and expect, the meeting to take place.

With North Korea customarily preferring its diplomatic engagement to take place well behind closed doors, little information is leaking out. However, three channels are currently known to be in play.

Senior officials are meeting in New York in the US, while mid-level officials are meeting in Panmunjom, the truce village in the Demilitarized Zone between the two Koreas, and working-level officials are meeting in Singapore, the venue for the big event.

The overtime work by officials from the two nations, which have been at daggers drawn since the Korean War broke out in 1950, and whose leaders have never met, indicates that both parties are seriously seeking to discover some common ground to form the basis of the summit.

Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met today with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.

Action on all fronts

In New York, Vice Chairman of the [North] Korean Workers Party Kim Jong-chol met US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday, US-time. Kim is the highest level North Korean official to visit the United States since 2000. Sanctioned by the US, he is believed to have been given a waiver for his trip.

Images released showed Pompeo, Kim and two aides talking, apparently amicably, over a meal at Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza. Earlier video footage showed Kim arriving at the venue, with a plain-suited security presence, both US and North Korean, much in evidence.

Kim and Pompeo are expected to hold extensive talks on Thursday. Pompeo, a former CIA director, led US President Donald Trump’s diplomatic outreach to Pyongyang and has met North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on at least two occasions.

I believe we are in a war for the heart and soul of the world, so showing a hypocrite for what they really are is part of winning the battle. As they say wars are won, one battle at a time.
