Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: Popular Support Surges For Tariff Hiking GOP
The Republican Party has shifted back to supporting tariffs, with recent polls showing 51% of Republicans favoring higher tariffs, a significant increase from 38% last year. This marks a departure from the free trade consensus that characterized the party in the late 20th century, aligning it more closely with historical figures like William McKinley.
Democratic support for lowering tariffs has also grown, with 40% now favoring reductions. The partisan divide over tariffs is impacting consumer confidence, with Republicans remaining optimistic while Democrats express concerns over rising prices. Overall, the GOP's favorability has surged, reflecting a broader realignment on trade issues.
Times Of Israel: Bill giving coalition control of judicial ombudsman appointment cleared for final votes
The Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee has approved a bill that would allow the coalition to control the appointment of the judges' ombudsman. Critics argue this would politicize the position and undermine judicial oversight, while supporters claim it addresses an imbalance of power favoring the judiciary.
The proposed legislation would create a committee likely dominated by the coalition, including the justice minister and other politically aligned members. The current ombudsman position remains vacant, as Justice Minister Yariv Levin has not appointed a successor, citing the need for legislative changes first.

President Trump proposes replacing the EB-5 visa program with a "gold card" program for wealthy investors, costing $5 million for green cards and potential citizenship. He argues this would attract successful individuals who would contribute economically.
The current EB-5 program is criticized for its low cost and potential for fraud, with a cap of 10,000 green cards annually. Trump claims the new program would generate significant revenue and employment, but it requires Congressional approval to implement.
Breitbart: Report: FBI to Investigate 'Honeypot' Operation Targeting Trump Campaign
The FBI is investigating a covert operation targeting Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, involving undercover agents known as "honeypots." These agents reportedly sought to gather information by feigning romantic interest, as part of an off-the-books investigation initiated by former FBI Director James Comey.
A whistleblower within the FBI claimed that this operation aimed to find incriminating evidence against Trump and was distinct from the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged Russian collusion. The inquiry has raised concerns about the agency's conduct during the 2016 election.
