Trump orders 100% tariff on foreign-made films, citing National Security

On May 4, 2025, President Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 100% tariff on all foreign-made films, citing national security concerns and the need to revitalize the American film industry. He argued that foreign governments are offering incentives to lure U.S. filmmakers overseas, which he views as a coordinated effort to undermine the domestic industry and spread propaganda. Trump stated that he has authorized the Department of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to begin implementing the tariffs immediately. The announcement has sparked significant concern within the global film industry. Countries like Ireland, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, which have benefited from tax incentives attracting U.S. productions, fear the tariffs could disrupt long-standing collaborations. In Australia, officials are seeking urgent clarification, emphasizing the economic contributions of their film industry. Legal experts question the feasibility of the proposed […]

Burkina Faso’s Economic Revolution: How Ibrahim Traoré Defied Colonial Exploitation and IMF Orthodoxy

The Colonial Chains: CFA Franc and Exploitation For decades, Burkina Faso's gold-rich soil has funneled wealth into foreign coffers, particularly France's, through the mechanisms of the CFA franc zone. This monetary system, a remnant of colonial rule, has effectively allowed France to maintain significant control over the economies of its former colonies. In Burkina Faso, this has translated into substantial portions of its gold exports benefiting foreign interests, leaving the nation grappling with poverty and dependency. The situation is exacerbated by structural adjustment programs (SAPs) imposed by international financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank, which have often led to privatization of resources, reduced public spending, and an emphasis on raw material exports—a cycle critics term "Colonial Economy 2.0." Ibrahim Traoré: The Military Captain Who Rewrote the Rules In 2022, amidst political and economic turmoil, 34-year-old military captain Ibrahim […]

President Trump Casts Doubt on Due Process Rights

In a recent interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," former President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty about whether all individuals in the U.S., including undocumented immigrants and non-citizens, are entitled to due process rights guaranteed by the Constitution. He emphasized logistical challenges, suggesting that providing due process to all would necessitate millions of trials, though he stated his legal team would adhere to Supreme Court rulings. This stance aligns with the Trump administration's efforts to expedite deportations, including invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without due process. However, a federal judge blocked this attempt, ruling that the law could not be applied in the current context. Critics argue that these actions undermine the fundamental right to due process, raising concerns about the erosion of civil liberties and the rule of law in the United States. […]

These Contentious Issues Could Determine Who Becomes the Next Pope

As the Catholic Church stands at a pivotal juncture following the passing of Pope Francis, the forthcoming conclave is poised to address a myriad of contentious issues that will significantly influence the selection of the next pontiff. The cardinal-electors are confronted with the challenge of choosing a leader capable of navigating the Church through internal divisions, doctrinal debates, and global socio-political dynamics. 1. Theological Polarization: Progressives vs. Traditionalists Pope Francis's tenure was marked by efforts to modernize the Church, emphasizing inclusivity and social justice. However, this approach has intensified the rift between progressive and conservative factions within the Church. Progressives advocate for continued reforms, including greater acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals and expanded roles for women. Conversely, traditionalists express concern over perceived deviations from established doctrines, particularly regarding liturgical practices and moral teachings. The next pope's stance on these issues will […]

Trump Administration Authorized Warrantless Home Raids Targeting Venezuelan Gang Suspects, Leaked Memo Reveals

The Trump administration secretly permitted immigration agents to enter homes without a warrant for over a month, according to a leaked internal memo obtained by USA Today. The memo, issued by Attorney General Pam Bondi on March 14, instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to break into the residences of suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua without obtaining prior judicial approval. It stated that standard warrant procedures could be bypassed because they might not be “realistic or effective in swiftly identifying and removing alien enemies.” "Given the dynamic nature of enforcement operations, officers in the field are authorized to apprehend aliens upon a reasonable belief that the individual meets all four requirements to be validated as an alien enemy," the document read. It further granted agents permission to enter a suspect’s home without a warrant when […]
