Businesses can claim refunds starting Monday for Trump tariffs declared unconstitutional

(This is amazing. Big Business jacked up the prices for the things they sold and made profits off of due to Trump's 'make the economy scream' tariffs. You paid the cost of the tariff taxes... not them. But lo and behold... the One Party State, the Business Party is making it now so TrumpyBear's regime will have to REFUND the tariff taxes they charged to Big Business... to BIG BUSINESS... not YOU... allowing Big Business to profit TWICE (three times if you take into consideration the fact that part of the reason for the tariffs in the first place was to offset the tax breaks Big Business got in the Big Beautiful Fascist Bill. I mean, prices have barely come down a little since the tariff thing started to roll back. Now Big Business will get money paid to them for NOTHING since YOU paid for the tariff taxes and the government will have to print more money from the privately owned central bank system to pay for it... at a FURTHER COST TO THE TAXPAYERS. Wow. Holy shit Batman. Talk about triple dipping.)

from the AP

A refund system for businesses that paid tariffs which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled President Donald Trump imposed without the constitutional authority to do so is scheduled to launch Monday.

Importers and their brokers will be able to begin claiming refunds through an online portal beginning at 8 a.m., according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency administering the system.

It’s the first step in a complicated process that also might eventually lead to refunds for consumers who were billed for some or all of the tariffs on products shipped to them from outside the United States.

Companies must submit declarations listing the goods on which they collectively put billions of dollars toward the import taxes the court subsequently struck down. If CBP approves a claim, it will take 60-90 days for a refund to be issued, the agency said...

Chuck Schumer Explains Why Israel Can't Find Peace: Because No One Else Believes the Torah

by Scott Creighton

Their belief is that the Torah was written entirely by Moses under direct direction from the invisible sky man 15 centuries before Christ was born.

Of course, science rears it's ugly head as it usually does and it seems that is just some bullshit of course and it was cobbled together from a number of sources about 1000 years later as the foundation of yet another religion scam.

Modern Scholarly View (Documentary Hypothesis): Most scholars believe the Torah is a composite text produced by multiple authors/editors (often identified as J, E, P, and D sources) over several centuries

.

• Composition Process: Sources were likely written between the 9th and 7th centuries BCE (Yahwist, Elohist, Deuteronomist) and combined during or after the Babylonian Exile (6th–5th century BCE).
• Final Redaction: The final, cohesive form of the Torah is generally placed around the 5th century BCE.

But you have to have a stupid box strapped to your head and be constantly rocking back and forth like a mental patient for it's followers to take you seriously.

What does that tell you?

Chuck Schumer in this video claims the reason there is no peace in the Middle East between Glorious Israel and pretty much everyone else is because the savages don't follow the Torah and believe it's every word. This gets an applause from the AIPAC crowd and grows Chucky's bank account by a couple hundred thousand bucks.

 

His position is clear. It's not the fault of the Israelis for always violating cease fire deals or peace deals because they don't peace, they want to steal someone else's land. It's not that. It's because no one else believes their little piece of paper written by grifters and charlatans all those years ago.

Trump threatens to 'knock out every single Power Plant' in Iran

from al Mayadeen English

US President Donald Trump escalated threats against Iran on Sunday, accusing Tehran of violating a ceasefire agreement while denying that Washington’s continued naval blockade and interference with shipping had violated the truce first.

In a statement published on Truth Social, Trump claimed that Iran had opened fire in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it “a total violation” of the ceasefire, and said the incident targeted a French vessel and a UK-linked freighter, though no independent confirmation has emerged. 

Trump also said US representatives would travel to Islamabad, Pakistan, for negotiations, even as Washington continues to exert military and economic pressure, casting doubt on the seriousness of its diplomatic track.

The US president further claimed that Iran was harming its own economy by disrupting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a claim that overlooks Washington’s own role in destabilizing the waterway through its naval blockade and ongoing interference with maritime traffic. The strategic passage, a lifeline for global energy flows, has become increasingly volatile amid continued US escalation...

Louisiana Advances One of the Country’s ‘Cruelest’ Anti-Homeless Bills

(Make America a Slaver Colony Again. The rapaciousness of the Trump regime has emboldened the Brownshirt fascists in local and state government to fly their Nazi flags proudly. They will round up homeless people like the apes chasing down the feral humans in Planet of the Apes and then ship em off to some camp someplace where Big Boss Man will rent em out to local businesses as slaves. You might think I am reaching with this evaluation of the story... and maybe I am... for now. Today. But you wait. In 3 to 4 years that is exactly what will be happening. Big Business will be paying the state for the use of slave labor as the wardens pocket kickbacks.) 

from Common Dreams

The Louisiana House of Representatives voted this week to pass what the National Homelessness Law Center says is “one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country.”

Like many other anti-homeless bills being advanced around the country following a 2024 Supreme Court decision allowing states and cities to criminalize homelessness, House Bill 211, which passed by a vote of 70-28, makes unauthorized sleeping in public spaces a crime. 

It is punishable by a fine of up to $500, imprisonment for up to six months, or both. Repeat offenders could face one to two years in prison with hard labor and a $1,000 fine.

The bill, which will now advance to the GOP-controlled state Senate, has been nicknamed the “Streets to Success Act” because, according to its sponsor, state Rep. Debbie Villio (R-79), the goal is not to jail homeless people but to “connect them to service providers.”

Those who are convicted of sleeping outdoors could be given the option to avoid jail time by instead entering into a mandatory treatment program for at least 12 months. The bill authorizes local governments to set up semi-permanent camps in remote areas, where defendants would be required to stay and receive treatment. 

The bill requires homeless defendants to pay “all or part of the cost of the treatment program to which he is assigned,” a steep cost for many, as the average cost for residential drug and alcohol rehab treatment in Louisiana is more than $4,400 per week, according to the addiction referral service directory Addicted.org.

According to the bill, those who cannot afford this steep cost would be required to perform unpaid labor for the state or a local community center in lieu of payment.

Bill Quigley, director of the Gillis Long Poverty Law Center at Loyola University New Orleans, called the bill’s entire premise “a farce.”

“If people had the resources to pay for housing and physical and/or mental health services, they would not be on the street,” he told Common Dreams...

Trump Threatens To ‘Blow Up’ the ‘Whole Country’ of Iran if Deal Not Reached

from AntiWar

President Trump has threatened to “blow up” the “whole country” of Iran if Tehran doesn’t agree to a deal that he is demanding it sign, as the very fragile ceasefire appears to be on the verge of collapsing.

Trump made the comments in an interview with Fox News reporter Trey Yingst. “I just spoke with President Trump for about 20 minutes, and he told me: ‘If Iran does not sign this deal, the whole country is getting blown up.’ He went on to say that bridges and power plants will be targeted if Iran does not sign this agreement,” Yingst said.

The threat from Trump came after Iran said it re-closed the Strait of Hormuz after briefly declaring it was open to all commercial vessels. The Iranian government said that the waterway was again closed due to the fact that the US was maintaining its blockade on Iranian ports, a violation of the ceasefire agreement...

Congress Approves Bulldozers to Israel to Wipe Out Gaza and Hide Their Crimes

 Congress Approves Bulldozers to Israel to Wipe Out Gaza and Hide Their Crimes

Direct Support 

Full List of Democrats Voting Against Blocking $300M Package for Israel

(The US congress just approved the sale of $300 million worth of bulldozers to Israel to help them literally wipe Palestine off the map. We gave them bombs to decimate the land and now we are giving them the means by which to wipe it clean and make ready for their concentration camps, free trade zones and resort hotels. And hardly anyone noticed.)

This is what the U.S. and Israel made in Gaza...

These heavy machines will scoop up rubble and bodies alike and throw it all away covering up the true scale of their genocide in Gaza. 

They did all this so they could make this... 

 The Israelis knew of the Oct 7 plans more than a year before it happened and could have stopped it

these people are evil. 

 

from Newsweek

Two of Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders' disapproval resolutions on Israel received unprecedented support from Democrats on Wednesday, as only seven voted against blocking arms sales to Israel.

Both measures failed without Republican support but drew backing from a majority of Democrats, reflecting ongoing divisions within the party over its stance on Israel ahead of the midterm elections.

The Senate voted on two of Sanders' joint resolutions of disapproval (JRD) on Wednesday to block more than about a half-billion in U.S. arms sales to Israel amid the war with Iran and its ongoing bombardments of Lebanon. Sanders, a longtime critic of U.S. military intervention, has repeatedly introduced resolutions to block U.S. arms sales to Israel during the war in Gaza.

One of the measures, S.J. Res.32, was to block about $295 million worth of sales of Caterpillar bulldozers to Israel. The U.S., Israel's top diplomatic and financial ally, provides more than $3.8 billion in annual military aid. William D. Hartung, senior research fellow at the Quincy Institute, estimates that the U.S. spent an additional $21.7 billion since Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, and Israel’s subsequent years-long military actions...

(these dems in the Senate jumped sides and voted with Republicans to send 300 million dollars worth of bulldozers to Israel to help them WIPE PALESTINE OFF THE FUCKING MAP)

What The Epstein Files Reveal About America’s Elites

Had his hands is lots of pies (no pun intended) and as bad as the sex stuff was his other connections are just as troubling especially considering the fact that... he's still alive.)
