Fox News: Trump border czar lauds 'right' decision to 'hold Mexico accountable' with tariff: 'Got to take action'
President Trump has imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, aiming to pressure these countries to combat the flow of illegal fentanyl and human trafficking across the U.S. southern border. Border czar Tom Homan supports this move, citing the need for Mexico to take stronger action against drug cartels.
Homan emphasized that these cartels operate freely in Mexico and have caused significant harm, declaring them terrorist organizations. He argues that the U.S. must hold Mexico accountable to protect American citizens from the dangers posed by these criminal groups.
The Western Journal: The Cartels Adopted Dangerous Technology to Outsmart Biden Officials - Now Trump's Sending in the Military
President Trump is taking significant steps to enhance border security by designating Mexican cartels as "foreign terrorist organizations." This move aims to address the advanced technologies, such as electronic signal jammers, that cartels have adopted to evade U.S. monitoring efforts.
As the Trump administration faces a more sophisticated threat than in previous years, the deployment of military forces to the southern border raises questions about potential confrontations with these criminal enterprises. The challenges posed by the cartels have escalated during the Biden administration's tenure.

GB News: Car insurance taxes could be removed to help 'shift the dial' and push drivers to buy electric cars
Experts are advocating for changes in car insurance taxation to promote electric vehicle (EV) purchases. Discussions are ongoing between the government and finance firms to enhance access to low-interest loans for EVs, with proposals to underwrite loans to lower monthly costs.
Additionally, calls have been made to remove the 12% Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) on electric vehicles, as research indicates that a significant percentage of motorists would consider switching to EVs if the tax were eliminated. The ABI argues that reducing IPT could alleviate financial burdens on households and encourage greener vehicle adoption.

Le Monde: The Gaia satellite, a fantastic star tracker, retires
Gaia, the European Space Agency's satellite, concluded its mission on January 15 after over a decade of astrometry, mapping the Milky Way and gathering data on 2 billion celestial sources. It will be passivated by March to prevent space debris.
