  47. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) President Trump took a bullet for us, and we owe it to him to protect his legacy and ensure true “bold and fearless” and “battled tested” lawyers are placed on the bench. President Trump’s frustrations with some of his past judicial nominees is well documented on Truth Social. Unfortunately, we are facing another disappointment in the nomination of Rebecca Taibleson to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Because of my loyalty to President Trump and his mission, I must oppose Rebecca Taibleson’s nomination.</p>
  48. <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-15247" src="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-49.png" alt="Oppose Rebecca Taibleson’s Nomination to Protect Trump’s Legacy." width="816" height="246" srcset="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-49.png 1260w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-49-300x90.png 300w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-49-1024x309.png 1024w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-49-768x232.png 768w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-49-450x136.png 450w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/image-49-780x235.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px" /></p>
  49. <p>In 2022, Taibleson donated to ActBlue, designated for Joe Manchin, during a time when people were pushing him to run as an alternative to Trump. That appears to be the only senate level donation she ever made. In 2024, Taibleson donated to Bridget Schoenborn in a judicial race in Wisconsin. Schoenborn was appointed by Democrat Governor Toney Evans and was endorsed by the Waukesha Co. Democrat Party while her opponent, David Maas, was endorsed by Brad Schimel, the former Republican Wisconsin Attorney General. Taibleson’s husband, Benjamin, also donated to ActBlue as well as Biden’s 2020 race against Trump, Kamala Harris’ 2015 Senate bid, and Forrest Dunbar’s congressional campaign. Adding these ActBlue donations with an almost blank record in the conservative movement, you have to ask “how could she possibly have been nominated.” But the problems even grow from here.</p>
  50. <p>Taibleson intentionally interned for the Obama D.O.J. Additionally, her husband-to-be published a book review that concluded the author’s proposal of “a universal social welfare regime – especially one based on upon education for all” was reasonable and “should enjoy the luxury of a gentler standard.” While working for Biden’s Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, Taibleson served on the defense team for a case brought by the Brown County Taxpayers Association challenging Biden’s student loan forgiveness policy.</p>
  51. <p>In 2008, Taibleson served as an intern for the American Bar Association’s Rule of Law Initiative, which falls under the ABA’s Center for Global Programs, which has as one of its purposes to advance gender and social inclusion. In 2009, Taibleson interned for the Obama Administration’s Department of Justice’s Office of Policy and Legislation.</p>
  52. <p>Taibleson has had very little legal involvement with conservative legal positions and, beyond advocating for then-Judge Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, no public advocacy for conservative policies.Some point to Taibleson’s clerkship for Justice Scalia as a conservative credential, but that’s no certain green flag. Scalia was known to hire a “counterclerk,” a politically liberal clerk whose predispositions were the opposite of his own. And some of Scalia’s former clerks have gone on to fight the conservative legal movement broadly and President Trump specifically.</p>
  53. <p>It is true that Taibleson worked in the Solicitor General’s office from 2019 to 2020, but she decided to stay on to serve President Biden all the way through 2022.She appears to have spent more time advancing Biden’s agenda, not Trump’s. Perhaps this is why she earned liberal Senator Tammy Baldwin’s support for this current nomination. In addition, Taibleson donated to a non-profit that advocates for “social justice” and hosts and supports “a group of greater Milwaukee lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex.”</p>
  54. <p>If there were no good, highly credentialed and strong conservative candidates to fill this important seat, the situation might be different, but the opposite is true. Two very strong, highly credentialed and proven conservative choices applied and were available to serve.</p>
  55. <p>There is no evidence Taibleson is bold or fearless, battle tested or strong on the issues. Instead, the evidence suggests she is a weak pick in an important circuit with serious national consequences. I support and encourage opposition to her confirmation.</p>

  83. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) They couldn&#8217;t even be bothered to write an opinion. The Supreme Court&#8217;s six right-wing Trumpers issued a summary opinion staying a district court order, which had been upheld by the Court of Appeals, prohibiting &#8220;roving patrols&#8221; of ICE agents from stopping and seizing people based on their race and ethnicity.</p>
  84. <p>That&#8217;s right: The same Supreme Court that says it&#8217;s unconstitutional to take race into account in providing educational and employment opportunities to minorities says it&#8217;s just fine to use race as a factor for detaining them. Heads you lose, tails you lose.</p>
  85. <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15244" src="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Supreme-Court-Allows-ICE-Racial-Profiling-A-Blow-to-Constitutional-Rights.jpg" alt="Supreme Court Allows ICE Racial Profiling: A Blow to Constitutional Rights." width="480" height="359" srcset="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Supreme-Court-Allows-ICE-Racial-Profiling-A-Blow-to-Constitutional-Rights.jpg 480w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Supreme-Court-Allows-ICE-Racial-Profiling-A-Blow-to-Constitutional-Rights-300x224.jpg 300w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Supreme-Court-Allows-ICE-Racial-Profiling-A-Blow-to-Constitutional-Rights-280x210.jpg 280w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Supreme-Court-Allows-ICE-Racial-Profiling-A-Blow-to-Constitutional-Rights-450x337.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></p>
  86. <p>At least give Brett Kavanaugh credit for writing a concurrence, trying to explain the inexplicable. It doesn&#8217;t work, but how could it? Racial profiling makes statistical sense; it&#8217;s just not supposed to be how we do things.</p>
  87. <p>According to Kavanaugh, &#8220;Immigration officers &#8216;may briefly detain&#8217; an individual &#8216;for questioning&#8217; if they have &#8216;a reasonable suspicion, based on specific articulable facts, that the person being questioned &#8230; is an alien illegally in the United States.'&#8221;</p>
  88. <p>He said such stops are reasonable and legal based on the &#8220;totality of the circumstances. Here, those circumstances include: that there is an extremely high number and percentage of illegal immigrants in the Los Angeles area; that those individuals tend to gather in certain locations to seek daily work; that those individuals often work in certain kinds of jobs, such as day labor, landscaping, agriculture, and construction, that do not require paperwork and are therefore especially attractive to illegal immigrants; and that many of those illegally in the Los Angeles area come from Mexico or Central America and do not speak much English.&#8221;</p>
  89. <p>Those were exactly the same factors — race, ethnicity, the Home Depot parking lot, speaking Spanish — that the district judge and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said agents may not use as a basis for stopping someone for questioning. You need targeted suspicion based on individualized factors, not stereotypes.</p>
  90. <p>The court&#8217;s three remaining liberals dissented. Justice Sonia Sotomayor called the decision &#8220;yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.&#8221;</p>
  91. <p>Justice Sotomayor is right. &#8220;The Government &#8230; has all but declared that all Latinos, U.S. citizens or not, who work low wage jobs are fair game to be seized at any time, taken away from work, and held until they provide proof of their legal status to the agents&#8217; satisfaction,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Immigration agents are not conducting &#8216;brief stops for questioning,&#8217; as the concurrence would like to believe. They are seizing people using firearms, physical violence, and warehouse detentions,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;Nor are undocumented immigrants the only ones harmed by the Government&#8217;s conduct. United States citizens are also being seized, taken from their jobs, and prevented from working to support themselves and their families.&#8221;</p>
  92. <p>Roving patrols of masked ICE agents pouring out of rental trucks to chase people down the streets of Hispanic neighborhoods? Is this really what people were voting for when they cheered Trump&#8217;s plans to deport rapists and murderers? Clearing the Home Depot parking lots instead? This is not a targeted approach. It is an effort to meet an artificial, political goal, through the sort of race-based policing that we, in other contexts, have rightly branded as unconstitutional. Why not here?</p>

  119. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) I hardly know where to begin because so much is going on and none of it is good.  We have a President who says native born workers are doing okay. Really?  To my knowledge, so many would not describe what’s going on as okay.</p>
  120. <p>Our economy just got a report that says fewer than 75,000 new jobs were generated last month. Trump fired a woman over a weak jobs report. He picked one of his boys hoping for something more pleasing to him that would make him look good, but lo and behold, the next jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics didn’t make the point he wanted to see. In fact, the report was brutal and he can’t blame this report on a woman, an immigrant or Black people.  He especially loves blaming Black women who run circles around him when it comes to competence! He just can’t admit that he doesn’t know what it means to be President of the United States—and the job is far above his pay grade.  He knows our country would be so much better with Kamala Harris as President!</p>
  121. <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-15238" src="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JobReports.png" alt="Trump Faces Brutal Jobs Report, Epstein Fallout, and Growing Global Isolation." width="496" height="325" srcset="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JobReports.png 1070w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JobReports-300x196.png 300w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JobReports-1024x670.png 1024w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JobReports-768x502.png 768w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JobReports-450x294.png 450w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/JobReports-780x510.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px" /></p>
  122. <p>So how does he try to handle things that make him look tough?  He has his boys rush off to international waters to attack a boat that killed 11 people and there’s no proof of what was on their ship.  We have no proof they were drug smugglers. Does he really think he can just say things without proof and everybody will fall in line believing him? It’s probably just a distraction!</p>
  123. <p>In addition to the horrible jobs report, the unconfirmed report about why 11 lives were brutally taken, he had to endure the loud noise about his Secretary Robert Kennedy where almost nobody showed him any love in a hearing about his job performance that endangers so many people, including children.</p>
  124. <p>Oh, there was that powerful press conference where women just kept on coming telling their stories about being abused by Trump’s friend, Jeffrey Epstein, when they were as young as 14 years old!  They told us how Trump’s other friend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was very prominent in molesting them when they were young. They testified that her hands were all over everything that happened to them, and questioned how she could now be living at a “country club”!</p>
  125. <p>It was impressive that such a huge number of women had the courage in the midst of threats on their lives to come forward and tell the world about the crimes committed against them by the orange man’s good friend Jeffrey Epstein.</p>
  126. <p>Add to that, Vladimir Putin-his good friend, was in China with Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un of North Korea and others, hugging each other, laughing and enjoying a military parade bigger than Trump’s and he wasn’t even invited!  Imagine that! He must have had a few very bad days that he couldn’t control even though he says “I am President and I can do anything I want to do!”</p>
  127. <p>I wonder if the women’s press conference or the big event in China hit him hardest. It’s days like the ones he’s had lately that led him wanting to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of WAR!</p>
  128. <p>As a long time peace and human rights activist, Trump’s behavior from day to day, really concerns me. I wonder what we are to do about this escalating and unhinged behavior. We can’t just do nothing. So, don’t be afraid to speak out about Trump’s efforts to destroy our history, threats to send people rummaging through the Museum of African American History and Culture, his effort to shut down Black History in schools, his treating Black women in disrespectful ways, his firing thousands of competent people for no reason….and on and on. What are we going to do?</p>

  156. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) President Donald Trump has done an admirable job at defanging the IRS, which was converted into a weaponized agency targeting Democrats&#8217; political enemies.</p>
  157. <p>Chief Justice John Marshall famously pronounced early in our nation&#8217;s history that &#8220;the power to tax involves the power to destroy.&#8221;</p>
  158. <p>The Democrats inside the Biden IRS took that to heart. They hired thousands of new IRS agents to harass businesses, rich people and, in some cases, Republican donors. Some of the officers under infamous former IRS enforcer Lois Lerner, the woman who aimed her agency&#8217;s auditing guns at conservative groups, are still active at the tax agency.</p>

  160. <p>One of the most noxious of former President Joe Biden&#8217;s leftover regulatory rules applies to partnerships — an increasingly common form of business organization and expansion. Microsoft&#8217;s revenues/profits flow down through its business partners.</p>
  161. <p>Business partnerships are vital contributors to the U.S. economy. A 2024 study by Ernst and Young for the Small Business Entrepreneur Council found that that 10 million Americans work for these partnerships and generate $1.3 trillion in gross domestic product.</p>
  162. <p>The IRS evidently thinks they are TOO successful.</p>
  163. <p>A gang of holdovers from the Biden administration and the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), are trying to administratively change the taxation of pass-throughs and partnerships, and subject these entities to &#8220;guilty until proven innocent&#8221; audits.</p>
  164. <p>The changes would alter the &#8220;economic substance doctrine,&#8221; which determines how the taxes on a business&#8217; profits are applied to the partners. If the entities are found liable for increased tax assessments, they could face a giant tax bill AND a confiscatory 60% strict liability penalty.</p>
  165. <p>These partnership rules are admittedly murky and may need updated protections against potential tax evasion abuses. But this rewrite of the tax laws would be applied <i>without congressional approval</i>. The Trump administration promised to end this illegal rewrite of the tax laws, but because of the turmoil at the IRS — with a revolving door of IRS commissioners — the Biden-era rules still stand.</p>
  166. <p>Meanwhile, Wyden has introduced legislation to codify these new rules into law. Get this: The Joint Committee on Taxation scores these IRS &#8220;reforms&#8221; as a potential $730 billion business tax increase over the next decade.</p>
  167. <p>If the IRS isn&#8217;t told to cease and desist, it could be the perpetrator of the largest non-congressionally approved tax increase in American history.</p>
  168. <p>The Trump administration is supposed to be easing the tax burden on our businesses and employers to make them more globally competitive, not handing them a three-quarter-trillion-dollar tax INCREASE.</p>
  169. <p>Trump or Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent should fix this tax raid on business before it reverses some of the job-creating benefits of Trump&#8217;s big beautiful bill.</p>

  196. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) Jury nullification is a fancy term for what it&#8217;s called when juries — or, in this case, grand juries — say no. It doesn&#8217;t happen very often, which is why you may have never heard of it. The old line is that a good prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Not so fast. Not in the District of Columbia right now, where a federal grand jury refused to indict a man for throwing a sandwich at a federal agent. It was one of three cases where a grand jury in D.C. refused to return felony indictments when asked by prosecutors — in some cases, backed up by videotaped evidence — to do so.</p>
  197. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-15228" src="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jury-Nullification.jpg" alt="Jury Nullification, Prosecutorial Overreach, and Trump’s Martial Law Tactics." width="495" height="304" srcset="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jury-Nullification.jpg 611w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jury-Nullification-300x184.jpg 300w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Jury-Nullification-450x276.jpg 450w" sizes="(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px" /></p>
  198. <p>Now, three is not a lot of cases in the grand scheme of things, but for something that never happens, three is practically a trend. And not a good trend. Jury nullification is the last resort of a system out of sync. Are prosecutors overreaching? They have been put in a terrible position, politically speaking, enforcing policies that have been imposed from on high without the input and consent of those governed by them. It is a dangerous thing to do, because it breeds disrespect for the criminal justice system. It suggests something is wrong with the system — that there is a disconnect, or overreaching, which can only be corrected by the grand jury standing up to the prosecutor, the law be damned.</p>
  199. <p>An army has been imposed on the district. President Donald Trump claims that he&#8217;s solved the crime problem; that&#8217;s debatable, but what&#8217;s not debatable is that he has created a new and different problem in the siege mentality that his takeover has provoked. The locals are not happy about what&#8217;s happening to their city. This is a top-down imposition of martial force, not a community working together. And if any more evidence is needed that it doesn&#8217;t work when you do it this way, jury nullification provides that proof.</p>
  200. <p>Los Angeles prosecutors ran into similar problems last spring, when they had trouble getting indictments against those who had participated in the protests against immigration raids.</p>
  201. <p>Some years ago, jury nullification in crack cases, which were punished more severely than cases involving powdered cocaine, helped contribute to the ultimate reform of the law to remove what was seen by many as a race-based enhancement. You see jury nullification only when the system is badly broken.</p>
  202. <p>That&#8217;s because, in the usual case, the prosecutor controls everything the grand jury sees and hears. It&#8217;s not a balanced proceeding; it&#8217;s an investigative tool, the adversary system with only one side represented, and if you can&#8217;t win under those rules, what does it say?</p>
  203. <p>It says you are doing something fundamentally wrong, which undermines respect for the rule of law.</p>
  204. <p>What will happen if Trump imposes what looks and feels like martial law in Chicago?</p>
  205. <p>Why would we expect it to be any different than what has happened in D.C. and L.A.?</p>
  206. <p>If anything, Chicago will be worse. It is not a federal protectorate. It is not as used to the feds calling the shots as D.C. is.</p>
  207. <p>What Trump is doing is wrong in so many ways. He is dragging the military into the middle of domestic politics, the last place they should be. This is not the war they signed up to fight, not the enemy they enlisted to pursue. And the only way to fight back is to nullify the law, or at least impose limits on it.</p>

  273. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) At least 2.2 million delinquent student loan borrowers have seen their credit scores drop by 100 points or more since loan servicers resumed reporting to credit bureaus in the first quarter of this year.</p>
  274. <p>The end of pandemic relief measures will further reduce affordable credit options for federal student loan borrowers already struggling with rising prices and stagnant wages, making new credit more expensive, if attainable at all. Affected borrowers also will become more susceptible to predatory lenders who exploit their financial difficulties with debt trap business models that worsen – not improve – their financial lives.</p>

  276. <p>According to the New York Federal Reserve’s student loan update, delinquency rates surged to a five-year high in early 2025. Further, during the second quarter of this year, 1 in 10 borrowers were 90 days or more delinquent on their loans. These numbers are likely to rise as more delinquencies are recorded on a rolling basis.</p>
  277. <p>Among newly delinquent borrowers, 2.4 million previously had scores above 620, strong enough for many to qualify for new autos, mortgages, and credit cards. But now, missed federal student loan payments between 2020Q2 and 2024Q4 are now appearing in credit reports.</p>
  278. <p>Of the estimated 2.2 million borrowers who experienced credit score drops of at least 100 points, 1 million saw their credit score drop by 150 points or more. More interesting – the highest percentages of delinquency by age was among older borrowers: 18% by borrowers aged 50 and over and 14% by borrowers between 40-49.</p>
  279. <p>Consumer advocates and economists warned of the negative impact of rising delinquencies on consumer finances and national economic activity.</p>
  280. <p>“Being delinquent on student loan debt is difficult for people who are approaching their retirement years,” said Lori Trawinski, director of finance and employment at AARP. “People end up having to make extremely difficult choices,” Trawinski said.</p>
  281. <p>The Treasury Department recently restarted collection efforts for defaulted loans – including garnishment of wages and tax returns. Legally, officials can garner up to 15% of the Socials Security benefits of older and defaulted student loan borrowers. A recent CNBC news article reported the Department of Education said it has “paused” that option for now.</p>
  282. <p>“Discussions around wage garnishment could further reduce disposable income, creating additional headwinds for consumer spending,” noted Eugenio J. Alemán, chief economist for Raymond James Financial, a leading investment firm. “Although the direct economic impact of student loan defaults may be limited in the short term, the long-term effects, such as weakened credit profiles and reduced consumer activity, could modestly slow overall economic growth.”</p>
  283. <aside class="scaip scaip-2    "></aside>
  284. <p>These efforts likely will have a disproportionate impact on Black and Latino borrowers, who already suffer from racial disparities in wealth and income. Fewer family financial resources lead to a need for more student loans to finance their education, and then decades of repayment and financial stress.</p>
  285. <p>According to updated data from the Education Data Initiative report, Student Loan Debt by Race:</p>
  286. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  287. <li>Among bachelor’s degree holders, 82.9% of Black students are the most likely to borrow federal loans.</li>
  288. <li>Four years after graduation with a bachelor’s degree, Black student borrowers owe $25,000 more than White borrowers.</li>
  289. <li>Four years after graduation, Black borrowers owe an average of 188% more than Whites.</li>
  290. <li>Black borrowers are most likely to struggle financially due to student loan debt, with average monthly payments of $258 for undergraduate studies.</li>
  291. <li>The Aug. 1 resumption of interest accrual for the 7.9 million borrowers enrolled in the SAVE repayment program begun under President Joe Biden added to financial stress. This program proposed to shorten the number of years borrower repayments to only 10 years, instead of the 20 or 25 years required under other and earlier plans.</li>
  292. </ul>
  293. <p>Despite SAVE’s borrower benefits, it was challenged in two lawsuits still pending that together opposed its implementation. These lawsuits were led by Missouri and Kansas officials; and 18 other states joined the legal challenges – many of which have significant Black populations including: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Ohio, South Carolina and Texas.</p>
  294. <p>According to the Department of Education, when forbearance ends and monthly payments resume, the additional interest from August 1 forward will be added to the resumed payments.</p>
  295. <p>Jennifer Zhang, a Research Associate at the Student Borrower Protection Center, aptly summarized the growing dilemma:</p>
  296. <aside class="scaip scaip-3    "></aside>
  297. <p>“Borrowers are in a uniquely impossible situation – they must repay their loans with money they do not have, but because of actions by this administration, they are unable to switch to a more affordable repayment plan. Meanwhile, borrowers’ access to credit, rental housing and key necessities of life will become increasingly expensive to nonexistent the further they fall behind – leaving them more desperate and vulnerable to predatory lenders and, ultimately, creating ripple effects across the economy.”</p>

  324. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) When the State Department issued its annual country reports on human rights last month, the report on the People&#8217;s Republic of China, which covers calendar year 2024, started with this statement: &#8220;Genocide and crimes against humanity occurred during the year in China against predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang.&#8221;</p>
  325. <p>This is not the first time that the U.S. government has unambiguously stated that the PRC, which is run by the Communist Party, is committing genocide.</p>
  326. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-15219" src="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/U.S.-Report-Confirms-Chinas-Genocide-While-America-Still-Enriches-Beijing.jpg" alt="U.S. Report Confirms China’s Genocide While America Still Enriches Beijing." width="555" height="312" srcset="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/U.S.-Report-Confirms-Chinas-Genocide-While-America-Still-Enriches-Beijing.jpg 976w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/U.S.-Report-Confirms-Chinas-Genocide-While-America-Still-Enriches-Beijing-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/U.S.-Report-Confirms-Chinas-Genocide-While-America-Still-Enriches-Beijing-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/U.S.-Report-Confirms-Chinas-Genocide-While-America-Still-Enriches-Beijing-450x253.jpg 450w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/U.S.-Report-Confirms-Chinas-Genocide-While-America-Still-Enriches-Beijing-780x439.jpg 780w" sizes="(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px" /></p>
  327. <p>Since 2020, every one of the State Department&#8217;s annual human rights reports on China has stated that the Chinese government is engaging in genocide in Xinjiang. &#8220;Genocide and crimes against humanity occurred during the year against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang,&#8221; said the 2020 report. The 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 reports stated this same horrendous fact.</p>
  328. <p>The recently released 2024 report lists some of the outrages the Chinese regime is committing against the Uyghurs and others living under its dictatorship. &#8220;Significant human rights issues,&#8221; it says, &#8220;included credible reports of: arbitrary or unlawful killings; disappearances; torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; involuntary or coercive medical or psychological practices; arbitrary arrest and detention by the government including, since 2017, of more than one million Uyghurs and members of other predominantly Muslim minority groups in extrajudicial internment camps.&#8221;</p>
  329. <p>The Chinese regime, says the State Department, also imposed &#8220;serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom, including unjustified arrests and criminal prosecution of journalists, lawyers, writers, bloggers, dissidents, petitioners, and others.&#8221;</p>
  330. <p>In addition, says the report, the Chinese government put &#8220;restrictions&#8221; on religious freedom and engaged in &#8220;instances of coerced abortions and forced sterilization.&#8221;</p>
  331. <p>These communists, the State Department says, also engaged in &#8220;trafficking in persons, including forced labor&#8221; and &#8220;some of the worst forms of child labor.&#8221;</p>
  332. <p>So, how has the United States been dealing with this regime that is engaging in genocide?</p>
  333. <p>We have been enriching them.</p>
  334. <p>In the five and a half calendar years from 2020 through the first six months of 2025, according to the Census Bureau, entities in the United States paid approximately $2.5 trillion to import products from this country run by a genocidal communist regime.</p>
  335. <p>During the same five and a half years, the United States ran a cumulative trade deficit with China of approximately $1.72 trillion.</p>
  336. <p>In the first six months of this year, according to the Census Bureau, China has been our third largest source of imports ($167.5 billion) after Mexico ($264.4 billion) and Canada ($198.2 billion). But with a bilateral trade deficit of $111.5 billion in those same six months, it has also been the leading source of our overall $689.7 trade deficit during that period &#8212; beating Mexico ($96.2 billion), which placed second, and Ireland ($82.3 billion), which placed third.</p>
  337. <p>Since the beginning of his second term, President Donald Trump has taken a series of executive actions aimed at fixing the U.S.-China trade relationship by threatening to impose increased tariffs on Chinese imports, claiming authority to do so under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.</p>
  338. <p>In an executive order issued on Feb. 1, for example, Trump responded to China having &#8220;subsidized and otherwise incentivized PRC chemical companies to export fentanyl and related precursor chemicals&#8221; into the United States, by ordering an &#8220;additional 10 percent&#8221; tariff on Chinese imports. On March 3, having &#8220;determined that the PRC has not taken adequate steps to alleviate the illicit drug crisis through cooperative enforcement actions,&#8221; he issued another executive order making the change in tariffs on Chinese imports an additional 20% instead of 10%.</p>
  339. <p>On May 12, Trump issued an executive order suspending the increased tariffs on China for 90 days. Then on Aug. 11, he issued another order suspending them until Nov. 10.</p>
  340. <p>But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled last week that the president does not have the authority to unilaterally increase tariffs on imports.</p>
  341. <p>The taxing power, the court concluded, belongs to Congress.</p>
  342. <p>&#8220;We are not addressing whether the President&#8217;s actions should have been taken as a matter of policy,&#8221; said the court&#8217;s majority opinion.</p>
  343. <p>&#8220;The Constitution grants Congress the power to &#8216;lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises&#8217; and to &#8216;regulate Commerce with foreign Nations,'&#8221; the opinion stated. &#8220;Tariffs are a tax, and the Framers of the Constitution expressly contemplated the exclusive grant of taxing power to the legislative branch; when Patrick Henry expressed concern that the President &#8216;may easily become king,&#8217; James Madison replied that this would not occur because &#8216;the purse is in the hands of the representatives of the people.'&#8221;</p>
  344. <p>What those representatives in Congress need to do now is enact a law that deals with the true nature of China as described in the State Department&#8217;s human rights report and in the Census Bureau&#8217;s trade data.</p>
  345. <p>A law that gradually increases tariffs on Chinese imports until either those imports completely cease or China stops engaging in genocide and abusive labor practices would not only serve the interests of the American people but of the Chinese people themselves.</p>

  372. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) The first of September was a bright morning on the National Mall. We went to pay respects to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.</p>
  373. <p>On the top floor, we were greeted by Chuck Berry&#8217;s sleek red convertible. Nearby, Odetta sang &#8220;Oh, Freedom&#8221; at the March on Washington. Marian Anderson performed at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday. Gospel, jazz and the blues rose from Black culture.</p>
  374. <p>When we walked out from the ground floor, a real slave cabin made a haunting image. Growing gardens around them could help feed a family.</p>
  375. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-15213" src="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/National-Museum-of-African-American-History-and-Culture-Faces-Trumps-Threat-to-Erase-Black-History.png" alt="National Museum of African American History and Culture Faces Trump’s Threat to Erase Black History." width="637" height="381" srcset="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/National-Museum-of-African-American-History-and-Culture-Faces-Trumps-Threat-to-Erase-Black-History.png 1200w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/National-Museum-of-African-American-History-and-Culture-Faces-Trumps-Threat-to-Erase-Black-History-300x180.png 300w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/National-Museum-of-African-American-History-and-Culture-Faces-Trumps-Threat-to-Erase-Black-History-1024x613.png 1024w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/National-Museum-of-African-American-History-and-Culture-Faces-Trumps-Threat-to-Erase-Black-History-768x460.png 768w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/National-Museum-of-African-American-History-and-Culture-Faces-Trumps-Threat-to-Erase-Black-History-450x269.png 450w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/National-Museum-of-African-American-History-and-Culture-Faces-Trumps-Threat-to-Erase-Black-History-780x467.png 780w" sizes="(max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px" /></p>
  376. <p>There&#8217;s much more in between.</p>
  377. <p>The architectural ascent, from slavery and segregation up to community, music, sports, arts and entertainment, shows a spirit that refused to be conquered. The Rosenwald schools in the South (a private gift) allowed poor Black children, like civil rights champion John Lewis, to be educated.</p>
  378. <p>Remember the day Arthur Ashe won Wimbledon?</p>
  379. <p>The building, made of bronze lace in a trapezoid shape, stands near the Washington Monument. Full of voices telling and singing stories of the nation&#8217;s history, and artifacts that don&#8217;t let it be forgotten, it opened its doors in September 2016.</p>
  380. <p>Only nine years old, this Smithsonian museum — a testimonial to the Black experience since Transatlantic slave ships started arriving in port cities — opens a new history book, one we never read in class. In the eighth month of Donald Trump&#8217;s second presidential term, it&#8217;s already in rough high seas.</p>
  381. <p>That lent some urgency to the visit, a protest vote against Trump&#8217;s clear and present threat to expunge part of the museum&#8217;s exhibits.</p>
  382. <p>Slavery is on the endangered list; maybe the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation, for all we know. Abraham Lincoln freed 4 million enslaved people with a single stroke. The brave &#8220;Colored Troops&#8221; who fought for the Union might be erased.</p>
  383. <p>In a shining grace note, the Lincoln Memorial shrine stands visible in the distance.</p>
  384. <p>As we approach America&#8217;s 250th birthday next July, Trump scolds the nation&#8217;s memory-keepers for dwelling on &#8220;how bad slavery was.&#8221;</p>
  385. <p>His scorn for the scar, shocking as it is, should not surprise us. The White House view of Black history comes down to &#8220;whatever I want.&#8221;</p>
  386. <p>In fact, that&#8217;s the motto for Trump&#8217;s second term. He railroaded the Republican party and the Supreme Court, fired the librarian of Congress, shut several government agencies, cut public health to shreds and is now breathing down the independent Fed&#8217;s neck.</p>
  387. <p>It&#8217;s remarkable how fast Trump consolidated power. Then again, it would be better to do it quickly, to paraphrase &#8220;The Tragedy of Macbeth.&#8221;</p>
  388. <p>What we&#8217;ve got to get about Trump, before it&#8217;s too late, is that there is no line between his private gain and the public good. The United States of America belongs to him, personally. The rest of us are just background. And he can own history.</p>
  389. <p>The more he exerts raw rule, with fear rising among the least of us, the happier Trump is. That is not the America we know. But that is the America we have become.</p>
  390. <p>Trump would turn the turf on the National Mall into his garish golf club. How convenient that would be.</p>
  391. <p>To murder hard truths of history is even worse than Trump&#8217;s seizing the Fed, Congress or the Supreme Court. Those changes ebb and flow over time.</p>
  392. <p>History creates collective memory, embedded in us. The past is, as James Baldwin wrote, &#8220;literally present in all that we do.&#8221;</p>
  393. <p>But it took America so long to admit our original sin, to see the flaws of our founders — nearly two centuries.</p>
  394. <p>Declaration of Independence author Thomas Jefferson lived a perfect contradiction, owning hundreds of humans, including his mistress and their children, and possessing unalienable rights.</p>
  395. <p>History&#8217;s &#8220;wrenching pain,&#8221; in poet Maya Angelou&#8217;s words, can&#8217;t be buried alive once again.</p>
  396. <p>No, not after this collection was built from scratch (mostly from family homes) by Lonnie G. Bunch III, now the Smithsonian secretary.</p>
  397. <p>Bunch is the historian who could save racial remembrance from Trump&#8217;s wrath. He speaks of major figures like abolitionist Frederick Douglass, denied a chance to speak at the Smithsonian.</p>
  398. <p>From there, the museum mission is to honor the jagged joy of overcoming: &#8220;a way out of no way.&#8221;</p>

  427. <p>(<strong>Akiit.com</strong>) Over the years, our government has expanded dramatically, all with the objective of improving our lives.</p>
  428. <p>Yet, with all of this, confidence that Americans express in our country and its major institutions has plummeted.</p>
  429. <p>Of 18 of the nation&#8217;s major institutions, per a recent Gallup survey, there are only three in which 50% or more now express a &#8220;great deal or quite a lot&#8221; of confidence.</p>
  430. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter  wp-image-15210" src="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BigBusiness.jpg" alt="Public Trust in American Institutions Hits Record Low as Big Business Turns Political." width="592" height="311" srcset="https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BigBusiness.jpg 1200w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BigBusiness-300x158.jpg 300w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BigBusiness-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BigBusiness-768x403.jpg 768w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BigBusiness-450x236.jpg 450w, https://www.akiit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/BigBusiness-780x410.jpg 780w" sizes="(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px" /></p>
  431. <p>In 1979, an average of the 18 institutions — ranging from the military, the presidency and the Supreme Court to higher education, Congress and big business — stood at 50%.</p>
  432. <p>By 2025, this was down to 28%.</p>
  433. <p>Let&#8217;s consider the case of big business.</p>
  434. <p>In 2025, 15% of Americans said they have a &#8220;great deal/quite a lot&#8221; of confidence in big business.</p>
  435. <p>The Business Roundtable is an advocacy organization in Washington whose membership consists of the CEOs of more than 200 of America&#8217;s largest corporations.</p>
  436. <p>In 2019, they issued a new statement regarding the &#8220;purpose of the corporation&#8221; which, per the release, modernized the statement that had been in place since 1997. These new principles supposedly would advance a new, more &#8220;modern standard for corporate responsibility&#8221; to accommodate people &#8220;asking fundamental questions about how well capitalism is serving society&#8221; and noting that &#8220;business can do more to help the average American.&#8221;</p>
  437. <p>In 1970, economist and later Nobel laureate Milton Friedman wrote a famous article in The New York Times, with the headline, &#8220;The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits.&#8221;</p>
  438. <p>Friedman&#8217;s point was that the responsibility of the management of the corporation is economic, not political. The corporation controls assets, owned by its shareholders, and those shareholders choose to own shares in the firm, which they can sell any day they want, because they believe this firm will maximize the economic potential of those assets and provide competitive returns on investment.</p>
  439. <p>Once the management turns its attention to other objectives, they are failing to do their job and abusing their fiduciary responsibility to those paying them. Moving from objectives other than maximizing the economic potential of the resources for which they are responsible turns the corporation into a political entity rather than an economic entity.</p>
  440. <p>And this is exactly what the Business Roundtable did with its change, in 2019, of their official statement of the &#8220;purpose of the corporation.&#8221;</p>
  441. <p>According to the new statement, shareholders became just one of numerous &#8220;stakeholders&#8221; to which the management was responsible to serve.</p>
  442. <p>Suddenly customers, suppliers, employees, communities in which the companies do business, were no longer elements of the realities in which the firm conducts its business. Suddenly, they were transformed into &#8220;stakeholders&#8221; of the firm.</p>
  443. <p>Now, among other things, per the Roundtable, part of their business obligations included &#8220;foster diversity and inclusion, dignity and respect.&#8221;</p>
  444. <p>Along with our universities, our corporations lost sight of what they were about and transformed and morphed into tools of a political agenda.</p>
  445. <p>What&#8217;s been the result?</p>
  446. <p>Practically speaking, as noted above, the public has just lost confidence in these institutions that are simply not doing their job.</p>
  447. <p>Regarding business, back in 2002, Gallup reported 20% saying they had &#8220;a great deal/a lot&#8221; of confidence in big business. Now, six years after the Business Roundtable corporate responsibility revision, it&#8217;s five points lower than it was 23 years ago.</p>
  448. <p>A recent Wall Street Journal column under the headline &#8220;The Boss Has Had It with All the Office Activists,&#8221; notes businesses are now shaking off the political culture that they allow to proliferate in their firms.</p>
  449. <p>DEI directives are being purged. Firms are clamping down on employees using time at work to discuss or engage in political activities.</p>
  450. <p>Work is work. How innovative!</p>
  451. <p>A broad de-politicization of our nation&#8217;s institutions is taking place.</p>
  452. <p>Maybe partly driven by President Donald Trump. Maybe driven by the realities of an increasingly competitive global marketplace.</p>
  453. <p>This is a good and healthy sign.</p>
