Time for another current events roundup from Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog.
TRUMP EFFECT: U.S. DURABLE GOODS ORDERS SURGE WELL ABOVE EXPECTATIONS IN FEBRUARY.
UNITED AUTO WORKERS UNION PRAISES PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR HIS MOVES TO EVEN OUT THE UNFAIR TARIFFS OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE IMPOSED ON AMERICA FOR DECADES. Like in his first term, Trump is looking out for the working class and the poor. Other countries are always fine with the damage they do to our workers.
DHS SECRETARY KRISTI NOEM WASTES NO WORDS DURING COMMENTS FROM EL SALVADOR.
NATIVE ALASKAN INUPIAT GROUP IS ON BOARD WITH TRUMP’S DRILLING PLAN BECAUSE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES IT BRINGS TO THEIR PEOPLE. “We feel like we’re going to be able to get some things done with a more favorable administration …” per the group’s President Nagruk Harcharek.

Lasting just under a minute, this short advertised the brewery & product of La Tropical beer and was produced by Cinemataca de Cuba.
