Antitrust and Tariffs Are on a Collision Course

Source: Foundation for Economic Education
by Rachel Chiu

“Until the Supreme Court decides whether Trump’s tariffs are constitutional, American businesses are stuck in limbo — and the best way out invites antitrust scrutiny. … Home Depot and its subsidiary entered into an agreement to acquire building materials distributor Gypsum Management & Supply. This move consolidates their supply chain for building materials, including drywall, ceilings, and steel framing. Likewise, this summer, Walmart opened its first beef facility to create ‘more resiliency in [its] supply chain.’ … If SCOTUS finds that Trump’s tariffs are legal, these mergers could be the first of many among American businesses. In that case, antitrust regulators pose a real risk to the economy.” (11/28/25)

Denmark’s Cows Must Die

Source: Common Sense
by Paul Jacob

“Sorry, cows. The planet comes first. I don’t want to give the wrong impression. No order has been issued requiring Danish farmers to kill their cows. The state is merely requiring that they feed the cows poison. The purpose of the wonder-additive, Bovaer, produced by a company called Elanco Animal Health, is to limit the methane that cows produce as they digest their food. Then, says Elanco, the amount of methane that the cows emit — by a method too indelicate to mention — will be reduced 30 percent. Elanco must have done some kind of testing to figure this out, I suppose. What is the point, though? Why does anybody want to accomplish this?” (11/28/25)

NYC: Protesters block gang members from leaving parking garage to abduct people

“Several protesters were arrested in New York City after they blocked streets and exits in an apparent attempt to prevent federal agents from carrying out an immigration raid, according to police and video footage from the scene. The incident unfolded just before noon on Saturday in the area of Centre Street and Howard Street in lower Manhattan, the New York City Police Department said. Officers responded to a call for a disorderly group and found multiple people ‘blocking the street and exits at different locations.’ Some were seen throwing debris, police said. The protesters were ordered multiple times to disperse, but police said several individuals were taken into custody after they refused to comply.” (11/29/25)

The Impossible Two Percent: Why Central Banks Cannot Afford Price Stability

by Hamoon Soleimani

“The Two percent inflation target — monetary policy’s sacred commandment for three decades — has become structurally impossible to achieve. Not because central bankers lack skill, but because every attempt to hit the target destroys the financial architecture that previous monetary expansion built. This is the endgame of central planning: a system that cannot tolerate its own success criteria without collapsing.” (11/28/25)

Why Is the Establishment Ignoring the Recently Declassified JFK Files?

by Harrison Berger

“Overshadowed by the recent revelations in the Epstein files, the 62nd anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination came and went with little notice. Yet new documents relating to that still-unsolved murder — released only recently by the Trump administration — deserve far more scrutiny than they have received from corporate media.” (11/28/25)

Airbus issues major A320 recall, threatening widespread global disruption

Source: Reuters

“Europe’s Airbus said on Friday it was ordering immediate repairs to 6,000 of its widely used A320 family of jets in a sweeping recall affecting more than half the global fleet, threatening upheaval during the busiest travel weekend of the year in the United States and sparking disruption worldwide. The setback appears to be among the largest recalls affecting Airbus in its 55-year history and comes weeks after the A320 overtook the Boeing 737 as the most-delivered model. At the time Airbus issued its bulletin to the plane’s more than 350 operators, some 3,000 A320-family jets were in the air. The fix mainly involves reverting to earlier software and is relatively simple, but must be carried out before the planes can fly again, other than repositioning to repair centres, according to the bulletin to airlines seen by Reuters.” (11/28/25)
