Please see article and video at link. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he is immediately raising the worldwide tariffs he imposed on Friday from 10 percent to 15 percent. Trump unveiled the new tariff rate in a post on Truth Social: Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday, after MANY months of contemplation, by the United States Supreme Court, please let this statement serve to represent that I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been “ripping” the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level. He added that his administration “will determine and issue the new and legally permissible Tariffs” in the months ahead. U.S. military planning for potential strikes on Iran has entered what officials describe as an “advanced” phase, with options reportedly expanding beyond nuclear and missile infrastructure to include targeted decapitation strikes against senior regime figures — and with President Donald Trump said to be able to make a strike decision “at any moment.” Reuters reported Friday that U.S. strike discussions have grown increasingly granular, including options targeting specific Iranian leaders as part of a scalable campaign. In a separate Friday dispatch, the outlet added that officials across Israel and the Gulf now view the gaps between Washington and Tehran as effectively unbridgeable, with preparations accelerating for the possibility that talks collapse into open conflict. IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said the military’s “finger is on the trigger more than ever,” while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that if Iran attacks Israel, it will face consequences “it cannot even imagine.” The escalation is now triggering visible diplomatic fallout across Europe. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk urged Polish citizens to leave Iran immediately, warning evacuation windows could close quickly. Sweden and Serbia issued urgent advisories for their nationals to depart. Germany reduced non-mission-critical personnel at a base in northern Iraq amid escalating tensions. The armed man who was shot and killed Sunday morning at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida, has been identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin, and was reported missing by his family about the time the shooting occurred. Breitbart News reported that law enforcement shot and killed an armed man who had breached Mar-a-Lago’s secure perimeter around 1:30 a.m. The man was carrying a shotgun and a container of gasoline. Martin lived in North Carolina, and WXII 12 News noted that one of his relatives approached a Moore County Sheriff’s Office deputy Sunday morning to let them know Martin was missing. He was entered into a database for missing persons and later ID’d as the man who was shot at Mar-a-Lago. The New York Post said that “a box for the shotgun was discovered in Martin’s vehicle following the shooting.” He allegedly entered Mar-a-Lago by driving through the gates as another vehicle left. Democrat leaders in New York City oppose voter ID laws but are not above requiring such papers for recruiting people for manual labor. The New York City Department on Sanitation’s website features a page where residents can apply to become paid “Emergency Snow Shovelers” as a winter storm bears down on the area. However, the page said applicants must present two photos, “Two original forms of ID, plus copies,” and their Social Security card. The New York Post reported Saturday that democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mandani is opposed to requiring people to show identification when voting. When it comes to shoveling snow, it appears he is not against bending the rules.
