USMCA is 21st-Century Enhancement America Needs


“Just like the unseen parts used to make automobiles and airplanes work, the contributions of the Keystone State are often experienced — even if not always seen — every day around the world. The products manufactured in Pennsylvania help make the world function, but all of that could slow down if a critical trade agreement with our North American neighbors is not approved by Congress,” writes Jason Wilburn, president of Foerster Instruments, in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

“NAFTA is now more than 25 years old and in need of an update . . . We need to cut the red tape and the arduous regulations that make it harder to do business. The USMCA does this for small manufacturers. If the USMCA is ratified, businesses like mine will be able to continue doing what we do best.”

“Amid last week’s debate over whether Israel should have issued waivers to Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, and allowed them to promote the anti-Israel boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement from within Israel, two scandals went largely unreported. The first scandal is that Tlaib and Omar’s trip was planned by the antisemitic, pro-terror Miftah organization. The second scandal was the establishment media’s whitewashing of the first scandal,” Warren Henry writes for The Federalist.
In The Wall Street Journal, Heather Mac Donald explains who is really dividing Americans by race. “Mr. Trump rarely uses racial categories in his speech or his tweets. It is the media and Democratic leaders who routinely characterize individuals and groups by race and issue race-based denunciations of large parts of the American polity,” she writes.
“Foreign individuals should not be allowed to come to America in order to take advantage of its welfare programs. This shouldn't be a controversial statement. Federal law currently reflects this position. The Trump administration has finalized a regulation aimed at better implementing this law,” the Washington Examiner editorial board writes. “In today’s debates over immigration, we find it necessary to state what should be self-evident: All American laws ought to serve the American people."
“President Donald Trump wrote a check to donate his second quarter 2019 salary to the office of the Surgeon General to fund an upcoming public health advisory . . . It’s his third salary donation to the Department of Health and Human Services,” Jayne O'Donnell reports for USA Today. “Trump pledged that he wouldn't accept his $400,000 annual presidential salary if elected. But because he has to be paid under law, he has been donating the payment to different [areas] of the federal government.”
