The U.S. Wants To Ban Chinese Cars, But They're Already At The Gate
Efforts in Washington to block Chinese-made cars often sound like a future problem - but in practice, those vehicles are already within reach of American consumers, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Just south of the U.S. border, Chinese automakers have been rapidly expanding in Mexico, setting up dealerships and offering vehicles at prices far below what most new cars cost in the U.S. Brands like BYD, Geely, and Great Wall Motor are selling electric and gas-powered models packed with features - often for the price of a used car in the U.S. That proximity matters: American consumers living near the border can easily see, test, and in some cases drive these vehicles, even if large-scale imports remain restricted.
Meanwhile, U.S. policymakers are moving in the opposite direction. Proposed tariffs, import restrictions, and national security reviews are all aimed at limiting Chinese auto penetration, especially in the electri...

DOJ Releases Report Alleging Anti-Christian Bias Under Biden
Authored by Savannah Halsey Pointer via The Epoch Times,
The Department of Justice (DOJ) on April 30 released a 500-page report detailing alleged anti-Christian bias on the part of the Biden administration.
According to the report by the DOJ's Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, the former administration's prosecutions, policies, and practices constituted bias throughout multiple agencies, in accordance with the administration's priorities.
The task force is chaired by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
“No American should live in fear that the federal government will punish them for their faith,” Blanche said. “As our report lays out, the Biden Administration's actions devastated the lives of many Christian Americans.”
Around 200 pages of the report are dedicated to the actions of more than 17 federal agencies that uncovered alleged religious discrimination. The investigation included a review of internal di...

The US Spends More On 'Defense' Than The Next 8 Countries Combined
For the first time on record, the top 15 military spenders allocated more than $2 trillion to defense in 2025.
Total global defense spending also reached a record $2.6 trillion, signaling a major shift in geopolitical priorities.
Using data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, this visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, ranks the 15 countries driving this surge in military spending.
While the U.S. still operates on an entirely different scale, the biggest shift is happening in Europe, where countries are no longer just maintaining military capacity but expanding it significantly.
The $2 Trillion Arms Race: Defense Spending by Country
The U.S. defense budget reached $921 billion in 2025, larger than the combined military spending of China, Russia, Germany, the UK, India, Saudi Arabia, France, and Japan.
Looking ahead, Donald Trump has proposed increasing defense spending to $1.5 trillio...

Ahead Of Trump-Xi Summit, Beijing Tells Chinese Firms To Ignore U.S. Sanctions On "Teapot" Refineries
President Donald Trump is set to travel to Beijing in mid-May for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the first U.S. presidential visit to China in eight years, and a meeting already delayed once by the Iran war.
The pair will obviously discuss the U.S.-Iran conflict and the resulting energy shock, which has hit Asia fastest and hardest. There is no shortage of issues for the two leaders to discuss, including Taiwan, trade, AI chip controls, rare earths, and sanctions.
One important topic the two leaders will likely spend time on is the energy shock and the maximum pressure campaign imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control on Chinese independent "teapot" refineries, particularly in Shandong Province, due to their continued purchases and refining of Iranian crude.
Perhaps last week's sanctions on China's teapot refiners are part o...
