Breitbart: Trump Expands Reciprocal Tariff Policy to Include VATs, Non-Tariff Barriers
President Trump announced a new reciprocal tariff policy that will include foreign value-added taxes (VATs) and non-tariff barriers, aiming to level the playing field for U.S. businesses. This policy will impose duties equivalent to those of other countries, targeting tax structures seen as unfair.
The plan addresses VATs, which provide financial incentives for foreign exports while disadvantaging U.S. goods. It also considers non-monetary barriers like regulations and subsidies that hinder American competitiveness abroad. The administration believes this approach will boost domestic production and promote fairer international trade.

Breitbart: Pinkerton: Make Presidents’ Day Washington’s Birthday Again
Presidents’ Day has devolved into a generic holiday focused on mattress sales rather than honoring historical significance, particularly that of George Washington. The shift from celebrating Washington's Birthday to Presidents’ Day in 1968 diluted the holiday’s meaning, primarily benefiting non-essential federal workers.
The article advocates for reinstating Washington’s Birthday as a holiday, emphasizing his foundational role in American democracy and the importance of civics education. With Trump's revival of the 1776 Commission, there is hope for a renewed focus on American history and values, particularly as the nation approaches significant anniversaries.
