TRUMP’S Bold Move: Electronics Spared from China Tariffs
— The Trump administration announced a major decision to exclude electronics like smartphones and laptops from reciprocal tariffs. This move aims to keep consumer electronics prices steady. Big tech companies such as Apple and Samsung, along with chip makers like Nvidia, are expected to benefit from this decision.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed that items like smartphones, laptops, hard drives, flat-panel monitors, and some chips qualify for the exemption. Machines used in semiconductor production are also excluded from the 145% tariffs on China or the 10% baseline elsewhere. This change marks a strategic shift in Trump’s tariff policy amid ongoing trade tensions with China.
The exemption acknowledges that current tariffs won’t likely bring manufacturing of gadgets like iPhones back to the U.S., despite earlier predictions. Apple’s established supply chain in China makes domestic production costly and time-consuming, potentially tripling iPhone prices if moved stateside.
Trump’s decision echoes similar relief granted during his first term’s trade war but comes after initial attempts at broader tariff imposition led to market instability for tech giants like Apple. The move suggests a recalibration of strategy as economic realities challenge earlier ambitions for U.S.-based manufacturing of popular electronics.
NASHVILLE TRAIL Horror: Witness Shares Chilling Encounter With Suspected Killer
— A woman who was on the Nashville trail when Alyssa Lokits was tragically killed spoke with Fox News Digital. Shannon Howard, a local resident, recounted her unsettling encounter with the alleged killer, Paul Park. She observed Park lingering and watching police work at the scene after the murder occurred.
Howard typically walks along the Mill Creek Greenway in the evenings but was delayed by 15 minutes on October 14, when Lokits lost her life. That day, she saw Lokits lying on the ground in a fetal position but didn’t realize she had been shot. Chaos ensued as people frantically called 911 for help.
Howard kept her distance from the chaos and eventually returned to her car as darkness fell. Her fiancé, now husband, preferred she avoid being alone on the trail at night for safety reasons.
JUDGE BLOCKS Public Release of Nashville Shooter’s Writings
— A judge in Nashville ruled that the writings of Audrey Hale, who killed six people at a Christian school, cannot be released to the public. Judge I’Ashea Myles determined that the victims’ families hold the copyright to Hale’s works. The families argued they should control access to these materials.
The decision stems from a novel legal argument using federal Copyright Act exceptions. Hale’s parents transferred ownership of her property to the victims’ families, who then fought in court for this ruling. This case marks a unique interpretation of copyright law as it applies to public records.
Interest in these documents is high due to theories about Hale’s motives, including possible hate crimes against Christians. Police reported that Hale may have identified as transgender, adding another layer of controversy and speculation around her writings.
Victims’ families praised the ruling, stating it denies notoriety to the shooter and brings them some relief. Cindy Peak’s family expressed gratitude for preventing Hale’s “vile and unfiltered thoughts” from being released publicly. The case is expected to be appealed soon.
CENTRAL US RAVAGED: Tornadoes Leave Trail of Destruction and Heartbreak
— A series of violent tornadoes tore through the central U.S., causing extensive damage and claiming at least three lives. The storms left a path of devastation, flattening homes and trailers in an RV park, with Ohio’s Logan County bearing the brunt of the destruction. Lakeview and Russells Point villages were among the hardest hit areas.
On Friday, search crews accompanied by cadaver dogs sifted through the debris for any additional victims. Despite challenges posed by gas leaks and fallen trees obstructing some neighborhoods, authorities conducted a thorough second sweep in areas initially checked right after the storm hit.
Sheriff Randy Dodds cautioned that recovery operations would take time but assured that he was not aware of anyone still missing. Meanwhile, residents like Sandy Smith shared chilling accounts of seeking shelter while their homes crumbled around them during the storm’s onslaught.
The aftermath paints a grim picture — twisted metal wrapped around tree tops, damaged campgrounds and laundromats, roofs sheared off houses. Snowplows were dispatched to clear roads strewn with debris as communities begin to grapple with their new reality.
