Trump's 35% Tariff is under pressure from Congress and big manufacturing

Congress has been getting an earful from their big business donors. Trump's proposed 35% Tarff on goods sent into the United States places big manufacturing in a tight spot.

Many already have manufacturing operations in Mexico/China ect. The 35% tariff is bad news on the profitability of these operations. Not to mention future planes to expand or relocate manufacturing in these countries.

Congress is set to do big manufacturing's bidding in the name of "free trade" and lower prices.. Trump will counter with "fair trade" and increased US. employment. The battle lines are drawn.

Who will blink first?

Effectsof climate change on coffee Production.

Effects of Climate Change on Coffee Production Reduced crop yields are a result of drought in some regions and increased humidity and precipitation in others. For example, increase moisture leads to the proliferation of pests like the Coffee Berry Borer and diseases including ‘la rosa’ or stem rust.

Fluctuations in weather patterns such as precipitation, temperature, storms, strong winds, and other extreme weather patterns can negatively affect the quality and producti...

Israel..... put up or shut up on US involvement on UN vote.

Israel say it has proof that the US was behind the resent UN vote that is causing a diplomatic earth quake. John Kerry denies the charge in strongest of "diplomatic" terms. So will Israel have to put up or shut up? Not really. Israel spy's on the US as we spy on them. To "put up" would be to do exactly what Obama would want. To publicly expose there (Israel's) intelligence gathering ability for all to see would do greater harm than a UN vote. Obama and John Kerry are soon out of power. Israel knows it and Trump knows it This childish in your face move by Obama and Kerry will fade as surely as Hillary Clinton has. Obama takes a parting shot at Israel
