Are Trump’s tariffs more about protecting American small businesses, or rewarding political allies? Trump has recently announced a deal to waive tariffs on beef imports from Argentina under the guise of lowering food inflation for consumers. However, if that is the case, it is strange that he has not made this tariff waiver global. His continuation of tariffs on the European Union, combined with his desire to halt trade with its members for refusal to help with his war in Iran, suggests that his concern for American households is a ruse.

That is what many are now asking, as more places begin replacing Flock with the new AXON-mounted camera, disguised in objects like digital speed signs. Now that up to 53 cities have removed Flock cameras, some are noticing that they are merely being replaced by new devices whose three main shareholders are BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. Most people are directing their negativity and hatred towards mass surveillance, primarily at Flock, when other companies deserve the same criticism. Even if all the Flock cameras were to disappear, there would always be others to fill their place, and that pushback against a surveillance state should not end with one company.

Britain’s Home Office has published a nine-page guide to asylum seekers that informs them not to rape, harass, or make kissing noises at people, specifically women, while also noting that women in the UK are allowed to “earn their own money” and “make their own decisions about their lives.” The document elaborates that women are allowed to attend school, choose their spouses, and travel freely, stating, “Women do not need permission from a husband, father, brother, or any other man to do any of these things.” It goes on to explain that in the case of domestic abuse, the perpetrator may face prison time, stating that asylum seekers are expected to “treat your partner and family with respect” and “never physically or verbally abuse or control them.” Additionally, the guide explains that direct sexual comments at people, stalking, or other advances are not appropriate or acceptable, and that consent without threat or pressure is needed for coitus. The pamphlet is among the resources given to aliens, mainly targeting men, and is intended to explain the expected behaviors for anyone entering the country from outside. A Home Office spokesman stated, “We expect everyone who comes to the U.K. to abide by our laws. If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the U.K.” However, the pamphlets will likely do little good for the rising rapes in Britain, as they have only been printed in English, which many of these asylum seekers do not know or bother to learn. Many people have taken to social media to mock and criticize the UK government for the handling of their rampant immigration and rape problems and expose how absurd their supposed solutions are in reality. The average person in Britain understands that it is wrong to rape a girl. Yet, this pamphlet has to explicitly explain to these people that sex without consent is called rape, that rape is a serious crime, and that anyone under the age of 16 is a child and can not consent to sex. The reasoning for why these grown men need to learn something that UK citizens are taught from childhood is because these aliens come from backward, mainly Muslim countries that see nothing wrong with assaulting and raping their women and children and stripping them of their rights. To these people, repeatedly committing vile acts of evil against not only their own people but also the women and girls of the UK is not only seen as normal, but a good thing to do. And clearly the UK government sees the problem they have created with their mass immigration by having to print pamphlets that explain basic human dignity in the first place. Why any government would knowingly welcome in people who violate and abuse its own citizens is baffling and should not be tolerated. If asylum seekers can not respect a country’s laws and customs, then they should not be welcomed into that society in the first place. Not everyone in the world shares the same values, and the simple fact that you need a booklet to explain that rape is wrong just goes to demonstrate why the UK should not be tolerating these dangerous threats to the community. If England is to thrive again, they must put an end to the mass influx of immigrants and focus on protecting their own natural-born British citizens.
