| Overbearing Judges Get a Wake-Up Call from Congress |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| Americans didn't vote for James Boasberg in last year's presidential election, but that hasn't stopped him from trying to commandeer Donald Trump's job. Like almost 20 other district court judges, Boasberg became a household name when he decided to slam the door on the president's deportation strategy, overruling the entire executive branch in a breathtaking display of judicial activism. After three months of this "judge-made law," as John Fund calls it, Republicans have had enough. |

| PERKINS: Will America's Divide End in Violence or Civility? |
| by Tony Perkins |
| Today, America is deeply divided, but there is no single conflict at the core of our discord. Instead, an ideological divide is widening at an alarming pace.

| by Joshua Arnold |
| "If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war, or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end," declared the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), in a statement reposted Tuesday by the Chinese Embassy.

| Trump Takes Long Overdue Step toward Ending U.S. Addiction to Cheap Chinese Goods |
| by Victoria Marshall |
| While the world debates the merits of President Donald Trump's tit-for-tat trade war with China, America's young women are now upset they will have to pay an extra $2 for polyester dresses made by Chinese retailer Shein. This is the result of the Trump administration ending a little known trade loophole called the de minimis exception with China. Research also suggests that eliminating the provision altogether would result in costs ranging from $11-13 billion for American consumers. But the costs of keeping the exception and - allowing China to dump cheap goods into American markets - are far greater. |
