Republican senators turn on Trump over Mexico tariffs

Posted: 05 Jun 2019 02:22 AM PDT

Republican senators turn on Trump over Mexico tariffsRepublican senators have voiced "deep concern" about Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico in a rare clash with the US president.But Mr Trump said his party colleagues would be "foolish" to try to stop him going ahead within the plan, and it is unclear if they will be able to block it. Mexican officials, who will meet US government negotiators in Washington, remain hopeful that high-level talks will ease the president away from his threat.But with the 5 per cent tariffs set to start on Monday — and Mr Trump declaring them "more likely" than not to take effect — congressional Republicans warned the White House they are ready to stand up to the president.The public split and looming standoff has revealed a fundamental difference in values between the president and his party.Mr Trump uses tariffs as leverage to get what he wants – in this case to force Mexico to do more to stop illegal immigration. But tariffs are counter to firmly rooted Republican ideology and viewed by many in the party as little more more than taxes.Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday: "There is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that's for sure."At a lengthy closed-doors lunch meeting on Capitol Hill, senators took turns warning Mr Trump's officials there could be trouble if the Republican-held Senate votes against the Mexico tariffs.Congressional rejection would be a stiff rebuke to the president, and even more forceful than an earlier effort to prevent him from shifting money to build his long-promised border wall with Mexico.Texas senator Ted Cruz of Texas said the mood was one of "deep concern and resistance"."I will yield to nobody in passion and seriousness and commitment to securing the border, but there's no reason for Texas farmers and ranchers and manufacturers and small businesses to pay the price of massive new taxes," he added.Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, who was among the senators who spoke up in Tuesday's meeting, said: "I think the administration has to be concerned about another vote of disapproval … I'm not the only one saying it."The outcome of such a vote would be uncertain, as Mr Trump could use a presidential veto to force through his plan.But many Republicans who voted against the president earlier this year actually supported his ultimate goal of building the border wall, and were just uneasy with his executive reach to do it. On tariffs, Mr Trump has nowhere near the same backing.The GOP opposition to the levies is grounded in fears over potential damage to the US economy. Senators worry they would spike US consumers' costs and imperil a prospective major US-Mexico-Canada trade deal.The Mexican government is also concerned about the tariffs, but top officials seem optimistic about a resolution."By what we have seen so far, we will be able to reach an agreement," foreign minister Marcelo Ebrard said during a news conference at the Mexican Embassy in Washington. "That is why I think the imposition of tariffs can be avoided."Mr Trump, during a press conference in London, offered mixed messages."We're going to see if we can do something," he said on the second day of his state visit to Britain. "But I think it's more likely that the tariffs go on."He also said he doubted if Republicans in congress could muster the votes against him, adding: "If they do, it's foolish."Mexican officials arrived in Washington over the weekend to enter into fresh talks. Mexico's trade negotiator Jesus Seade met with US trade representative Robert Lighthizer on Tuesday, with Mr Ebrard due to speak to secretary of state Mike Pompeo on Wednesday.


Money: The One Thing America Could Give to North Korea to Denuclearize?

Posted: 05 Jun 2019 09:20 AM PDT

Money: The One Thing America Could Give to North Korea to Denuclearize?It is tempting to blame North Korea for failed nuclear negotiations. Pyongyang has certainly been a dubious, cheating counter-party in the past, most recently over the "Leap Day Deal." It is also true that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un offered President Donald Trump a lopsided, heavily North Korea-balanced deal—full sanctions relief in exchange for closing one aging nuclear facility—when they met for a second time in February. Trump was right to walk away from the "bad deal" that Kim Jong-un presented to him at the Hanoi summit.But it should be noted that the United States has also offered lopsided deals during negotiations. In the run-up to the first Trump-Kim summit in Singapore last year, Trump administration officials kept insisting that they would only accept the "complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization" (CVID) of the North, and that this was too happen speedily. This insistence continued into the fall of 2018, which is when U.S. officials went to Pyongyang to negotiate. CVID is an enormous demand, effectively asking for unilateral disarmament after the North spent decades developing the deadly weapons. In exchange the United States offered vagaries about a peace treaty or modernization, but it did not offer anything close to the value of the North's nukes.


RPT-ANALYSIS-Sheriff's deputy charged with neglect in Florida school shooting has strong defense -legal experts

RPT-ANALYSIS-Sheriff's deputy charged with neglect in Florida school shooting has strong defense -legal expertsA sheriff's deputy charged with failing to protect students during a mass shooting in a Parkland, Florida high school has a simple defense, some legal experts said - he did not have a duty to save the victims. Scot Peterson, 56, was arrested on Tuesday on charges of child neglect, negligence and perjury, and is in jail on $102,000 bond. Several law professors and defense lawyers said they were unaware of a previous case in which a law enforcement officer had been charged for failing to take an action.


Actually, iTunes isn’t dead

Posted: 05 Jun 2019 07:35 AM PDT

Actually, iTunes isn't deadApple earlier this week finally "killed" iTunes on Mac, just as the rumors that preceded WWDC 2019 claimed it would -- but there's really no reason to panic. macOS Catalina will have independent Music, Podcast, and Apple TV apps, and the iTunes features you might be using right now will be spread between these as well as the Finder, which will handle all the iPhone and iPad backups and sync sessions you need. The changes make perfect sense in light of the evolutions of various Apple services. iTunes is just too crowded to handle everything, especially with the imminent arrival of the Apple TV+ streaming service. So that's what killing iTunes on the Mac means... but if you're a Windows PC, you should know nothing changes and iTunes will still be alive and well for years to come. It's a lot easier for Apple to split the iTunes app into different apps that will handle specific needs on the Mac because these apps ship with the operating system. Once you install macOS Catalina later this year, you'll get the new iTunes experience as explained above.Needless to say, it's far more challenging to pull off the same move on platforms that Apple doesn't own, as is the case with Windows. That's because users would have to download all the new apps from the Windows stores once Apple deprecates the current iTunes version.For the time being, iTunes on Windows remains exactly as it is, Ars Technica explains. Apple said iTunes on Windows will not see any changes and it'll work just like it does now. That doesn't mean Apple will never break it apart, and as I said before, it makes sense to give up iTunes and replace it with multiple apps to handle the various features available in the application.But Windows 10 users will be able to manage all their iTunes digital content -- whether it's music, movies, or podcasts -- from the same app. They'll still be able to back up iPhone and iPad locally using iTunes, as well as sync their content across devices. You know, until Apple decides the Windows version of iTunes needs fixing, too.

Dissident Chinese cartoonist shows his face on Tiananmen anniversary

Posted: 04 Jun 2019 09:26 PM PDT

Dissident Chinese cartoonist shows his face on Tiananmen anniversaryOne of China's most prominent political cartoonists who has hidden his identity for years to avoid reprisals from the state revealed his face publicly on Tuesday to mark the 30th anniversary of Beijing's June 4 crackdown on Tiananmen protests. Chinese troops brutally crushed the student-led pro-democracy demonstrations in and around Tiananmen Square, first opening fire on the night of June 3, 1989, killing hundreds, perhaps thousands, witnesses and rights groups say. Chinese Communist Party rulers have since sought to white-wash the violence, never offering an admission of guilt or wrongdoing or releasing a death toll. Badiucao, a 33-year-old China-born cartoonist and artist who has drawn comparisons to graffiti artist Banksy, said he could no longer remain in the shadows despite threats from China's security apparatus prompted by biting satires that poke fun at Beijing's leaders and their perceived abuse of power. In a documentary on his life called "China's Artful Dissident" and shown on ABC television on Tuesday, he shows his face and for the first time details how he was forced to scrap an exhibition in Hong Kong last year given threats against loved ones. "I'm facing this major choice: to be silent forever, or to fight back, to confront, face to face, this situation," the bespectacled cartoonist told Reuters by phone from Melbourne where he lives, still without revealing his name. "By stepping out on the anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre I don't think there's any better time for me to do that." Badiucao posts most of his cartoons online and uses social media extensively. When required to appear in public in the past, he sometimes wore a balaclava. Despite his precautions, he said Chinese authorities somehow discovered his identity last year, possibly through digital surveillance while he was planning the Hong Kong show, which would have been his first international exhibition. His works include neon sculptures of deceased Chinese dissident and Nobel Laureate Liu Xiaobo and a cartoon of Chinese President Xi Jinping holding a rifle next to a dead Winnie the Pooh. Chinese internet users have in the past likened Pooh's portly appearance to Xi. A small number of people have even used Pooh as a symbol of resistance. Badiucao said he was told by a source that two "policemen" from China would show up for the Hong Kong event - stoking fears he might be abducted to mainland China, which took back control of the former British colony in 1997. A Hong Kong-based publisher of books critical of China's leaders was abducted in Thailand in 2015, one of five people in the Hong Kong book trade who went missing that year and later appeared in custody in mainland China. "Hong Kong is like an egg falling to the ground," Badiucao said. "It might not have impacted the ground but it's already on the way." China's main representative "Liaison Office" in the city gave no response to a Reuters request for comment. Badiucao took part in Hong Kong's 2014 pro-democracy protests that blocked roads for months in a direct challenge to Beijing, but he says he won't return. He criticized a proposed extradition law that would allow suspects in Hong Kong to be sent back to mainland China for the first time. "The extradition law is definitely a new trap, allowing mainland China much more power to use its controlling with violence directly in Hong Kong," he said. "It also generates huge fear." Last year, he launched a public art project on China's "Tank Man", the nameless individual who stood in front of a row of tanks a day after the Tiananmen Square crackdown in an act of defiance. The man's identity and fate remain unknown. The artist urged people around the world to pose in public as Tank Man, in white shirt, black pants, and holding two bags. "In order to pass down memory, it's always about the next generation, how to engage them, how to awaken them from this kind of political indifference," he said. China's Ministry of Public Security did not respond to a request for comment on the fate of Tank Man. When asked about Tank Man by Reuters at a Foreign Ministry media briefing, spokesman Geng Shuang said: "I have no understanding of these situations you mention." Despite blanket Chinese censorship of June 4, the artist said he would reveal the truth through art. "The physical body can be crushed or damaged, but the spirit lives for much longer," he said. "I hope within my art and within my action ... will be a way to pass on the spirit of '89."

Biden Breaks With Rivals by Opposing Federal Funds for Abortions

Biden Breaks With Rivals by Opposing Federal Funds for AbortionsBiden's campaign said in a statement that the former vice president is sticking with his long-standing backing of the 1976 Hyde Amendment, which has been routinely added to government funding bills and blocks federal medical programs from paying for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the woman. "He has not at this point changed his position on the Hyde Amendment," the campaign said in a statement. Biden has held a clear lead in early Democratic polls despite taking some positions that are more moderate than progressive activists demand.

Fox’s Tomi Lahren Touts Straight Pride Parade Run by Far-Right Extremists

Posted: 06 Jun 2019 10:22 AM PDT

Fox's Tomi Lahren Touts Straight Pride Parade Run by Far-Right ExtremistsTomi Lahren's back with a brand new over-the-top aggrieved rant against political correctness and the liberal agenda. And hoo boy, was this one is a doozy.In her latest "First Thoughts" video essay posted Wednesday to Fox News' online streaming service Fox Nation, Lahren came to the defense of a group of far-right extremists who are attempting to hold a "Straight Pride Parade" in Boston later this summer.Noting at the start that June is Gay Pride Month, Lahren insisted she has "no issue with LGBT people being proud of who they are" before snarking that she "can do without men in speedos and buttless chaps parading through the streets." She then pivoted to the possibility that Boston may shut down the straight pride event, claiming "straight people aren't allowed to parade their heterosexuality for all to see." Highlighting that the group calls itself "Super Happy Fun America," the Fox Nation host touted the organization's "mission statement," which purports to embrace straight people's diversity and identity to "promote engagement with the community." Lahren, meanwhile, took issue with the backlash the event has received, claiming white men are the real victims. "Now, you wouldn't think that would be a problem, right? Wrong," she exclaimed. "Don't forget, it is open season on straight white men in this country and y'all aren't allowed to celebrate your straightness! It's 2019—don't you know that's been off limits for the last ten years!"She would go on to attack the "social-justice warriors" who mocked the parade and its organizers, sneering that it was "funny" that the "so-called loving and tolerant leftists and members of the LGBT community" demand respect for their events but demonize those they disagree with.She concluded her tirade in standard fashion, railing against anti-conservative bias before declaring: "I'm not afraid to say it. I'm straight and proud. There, deal with it!" Nowhere in her monologue, however, was any mention that the "Straight Pride Parade" is "a front for a far-right group founded by notorious right-wing brawler Kyle "Based Stickman" Chapman."As The Daily Beast reported this week, event organizer Mark Sahady is also an organizer of extremist group Resist Marxism, a group founded by Chapman, who gained fame on the far-right for attacking anti-fascists with a stick. Resist Marxism, whose members were exposed for making anti-Semitic jokes and slurs in leaked chats, has also used a white-nationalist hate group to run security during at least one event.Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

Dem rivals rebuke Biden for not backing abortion rule repealJoe Biden is under fire from his Democratic presidential rivals and women's rights advocates for his defense of a decades-old prohibition on federal money paying for abortions. Most Democratic White House hopefuls reflect their party's latest platform calling for the outright repeal of the Hyde Amendment, which traces back to a compromise made when Biden was a young Delaware senator in the years after the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling legalized abortion nationwide. The hedging prompted intraparty outcry, with top Democrats reaffirming their commitment to abortion rights and scrapping the Hyde Amendment.

You might have missed the most promising new feature of iOS 13

Posted: 05 Jun 2019 02:39 PM PDT

You might have missed the most promising new feature of iOS 13iOS 13 might not be the huge leap forward that some Apple fans anticipated, but it does include a range of upgrades that will greatly improve the iOS experience. One that we've yet to highlight is called Optimized Battery Charging, and while it doesn't sound all that exciting, it might be the best addition of iOS 13.As MacRumors explains, Optimized Battery Charging can be found in the Battery Health section of the Settings app. "To reduce battery aging," the description reads, "iPhone learns from your daily charging routine so it can wait to finish charging past 80% until you need to use it." And by doing so, it can extend your battery's lifespan.In other words, if you plug your iPhone in overnight (as many of us do), it will no longer zip straight to 100% and sit at full capacity for hours while you sleep. Instead, it will charge up to 80% while you're sleeping and then finish charging the remaining 20% an hour or so before you wake up. Keeping your iPhone at 100% capacity while plugged in for hours at a time is bad for the battery, so with iOS 13, your battery may end up lasting longer.Whenever smartphone customers are asked about the features and upgrades they most want to see on their next phone, improved battery life is always at or near the top of the list. While iOS 13 likely won't make your battery last any longer on a day-to-day basis, you might end up squeezing an extra few weeks or months from the battery over the course of years thanks to the Optimized Battery Charging feature, which is huge.


Jerusalem Gay Pride draws thousands under high security

Jerusalem Gay Pride draws thousands under high securityThousands took part in Jerusalem's Gay Pride parade Thursday, waving rainbow flags and calling for tolerance in the Holy City under tight security following a 2015 knife attack by a Jewish extremist that killed a teenager.

This year marks the 18th Gay Pride march in Jerusalem, but due to the city's conservative religious character, controversy and even violence have erupted at times.

‘Daily Show’s’ Trevor Noah Exposes Trump Gaslighting on U.K. Protests

Posted: 04 Jun 2019 06:09 PM PDT

'Daily Show's' Trevor Noah Exposes Trump Gaslighting on U.K. ProtestsDespite receiving an official state dinner from outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May and Queen Elizabeth, President Donald Trump and his family have not been receiving the warmest of welcomes during his trip to the United Kingdom this week. "Man, British protesters are no joke," Trevor Noah said after sharing some of the most creative large-scale demonstrations with The Daily Show viewers Tuesday night. "Tens of thousands protesting Trump," he continued, "and this was in the rain, which I know to them is a summer day, but that's not the point." The host marveled at the fact that "even conservative people don't like Trump" in Britain, as evidenced by the snub the U.S. president received from May's likely successor, Boris Johnson. "They'll be like, 'There's too many bloody immigrants, it's time to shut down our borders," but if you ask them if they like Trump, they'll respond, "'Oh God no, not him. He's the worst immigrant of all!'" Of course, for Trump, Noah added, "protests are like Eric, he just pretends they don't exist." Stephen Colbert Mocks Ivanka and Jared's U.K. Trip: They Have 'No Business Being There'"Even coming over today, there were thousands of people cheering and then I heard that there were protests," Trump insisted to reporters during a press conference on Tuesday. "I said, 'Where are the protests? I don't see any protests.' I did see a small protest today when I came, very small, so a lot of it is fake news, I hate to say.""Oh man, Trump is adorable," Noah replied. "Because he doesn't go with one excuse, he goes with all of them and you can pick which one you like best." Mimicking the president, he added, "The people were cheering, I saw no protest, I saw a small protest, but it was a fake protest and I didn't see it!" Fact-checking Trump, Noah reported estimates that "tens of thousands of people marched in the streets, which is not small." "How does Trump always get this wrong?" he asked. "First his inauguration and now this? It's almost like Trump is dyslexic but just for crowd sizes. And also for words." Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

Donald Trump softens stance on climate change in response to Prince Charles' passion for the environment

Donald Trump softens stance on climate change in response to Prince Charles' passion for the environmentPresident Donald Trump appears to have softened his stance on climate change having been "moved" by Prince Charles' passion for the environment.  In a 30-minute long interview, aired on Wednesday morning, Mr Trump - who has previously accused climate experts of having a "political agenda" - told ITV's Good Morning Britain he "totally listened" to Charles when the issue came up. He said of the meeting at Clarence House on Monday: "We had a 15-minute chat and it lasted an hour and a half and he did most of the talking. "What he really wants and what he feels strongly about is the future. He wants the best climate for the future. He wants a good climate and not a disaster."  The US president has always been a sceptic, but when asked whether he now believes in climate change, Mr Trump said:  "I believe there is a change in weather. I think it was called global warning, then it was called climate change, now it's called extreme weather.  Prince Charles and President Trump with the Duchess of Cornwall and First Lady Melania Trump Credit: REUTERS "I think we had a great conversation about - as you would call it - climate change.  "This is real, he believes that. He wants to have a world that's good for future generations and I do, too. "He's Prince Charles, he doesn't have to worry about future generations unless he's a very good person who cares about people, and that's what impressed me, maybe the most." Mr Trump also mentioned China, India and Russia, urging them to take more responsibility for their pollution. Donald Trump's UK state visit, in pictures Before his state visit, hundreds of climate change experts urged Prime Minister Theresa May to confront Donald Trump over his approach to the issue. A letter signed by 250 academics from universities and research bodies across the UK stated that his refusal to tackle global warming is "increasing risks for lives and livelihoods" around the world.

Scouted: Beboe Therapies Makes CBD Skin Care That’s Both Powerful and Foolproof

Scouted: Beboe Therapies Makes CBD Skin Care That's Both Powerful and FoolproofCBD is in everything these days, even skin care. I previously dabbled in the hemp oil offering from Kiehl's that I love. It helps tone down the redness and swelling of acne and makes my face feel overall moisturized. The Beboe Therapies serum and sheet mask were my first foray into true CBD skin care. I Used CBD in Various Forms for Weeks and Learned How Each Is Great in Its Own WayTo start, the Beboe serum smells great. It's earthy and herbally with a hint of citrus. It feels amazing going on my skin and, as promised, it gave my face a glow that felt like I had just spent a couple of hours in the sun. Most oils and serums leave my naturally oily skin looking greasy, so I leave them in the nighttime-only category of skin care products. This one, however, was the kind of slickness that made you look moisturized and sunkissed rather than sweaty. The golden hue gives your skin a delicate bronzed look, something I am definitely going for as I sit here planning my summer vacations.The serum packs a punch of 300 mg of CBD. It's 100% natural, without fragrances, parabens, silicone, preservatives, phthalate, gluten, synthetic dyes, mineral oil, or palm oil. The full-spectrum CBD oil is paired with "vegan plant actives" and promises to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and fine lines. The brand also has a 50 mg CBD Sheet Mask that has all the same properties as the serum but in a one-use mask form. While wearing it, I could feel a little bit of a tingle across my skin. A tingle usually means things are taking an irritating turn, but this tingle was more like your arm waking up from being asleep rather than one that indicates an allergic reaction. And while it wasn't a drastic change after the 25 minutes I left it on for, the next morning my skin felt nourished and brightened. This mask looks really cool, smells really nice, and just feels really good. CBD as skincare is still something I will be exploring. Until then, when my skin needs a little bit of a glow, I'll be dousing it in the Beboe CBD serum and wearing the sheet mask.Scouted is internet shopping with a pulse.
