By Josh Bork WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Donald Trump last rolled out this top tariff, financial markets tremble, consumer confidence crashed and his popularity plummeted. Just three months later, he bets that this time will be different. In his new tariffs announced this week, Trump essentially stitches the global economy together with his instinctive belief that import taxes will bring factory work and stronger growth, rather than the inflation and slowdown that many economists expect. On Tuesday, he told the Cabinet that past presidents who had not actively deployed tariffs were “silly.” The salesman added that it was “too…
It’s difficult to deal with the unequal anger of Texas’ recent flash floods. The speed of rising floods, darkness at night, uneven warnings and communication, the soft age of many who struggle to survive – all of these have contributed to the tragedy that killed at least 109 people as of noon Tuesday and lost at least 161 people. It was a tough memory that the whole country needed a stronger emergency preparedness system.Fast moving water on the Guadalupe River in central Texas began to rise overnight early on Friday. Near a comfortable town in Texas, the river swelled 30…
Rep. Vern Buchanan, Florida GOP Rep., wants to eliminate federal taxes on police overtime. “Every day, law enforcement officers across America would wear badges and head to work without knowing what the day would bring,” Buchanan said. “They missed holidays, birthdays, school events, and they’re all serving their community.” Buchanan is supported by local and national law enforcement agencies, including the National Brothers of Holmes Beach and Chief William Tokager in Manatee County. Chief Tokager says the idea of ending taxes on police officers’ overtime payments is welcome news. “In doing so, executives will give more takeaway salaries, provide meaningful…

To improve the dangerous roads in Clermont, the Lake County Commission has advanced plans for a new 149-home lot that will reconfigure parts of the route. The Lakeshore Drive corridors have been the site of several car accidents and several fatalities over the years due to high speeds, sharp intersections, winding curves, and inadequate planning measures. “The bridge from Lake Shore 561 to the (Lake Susan) Bridge, essentially to the (Lake Susan) Bridge, has been a problem for many years,” he said at a meeting last week, according to a GrowthSpotter report. “Unfortunately, there are many deaths along that road.”…
John Hill’s column on the potential of the convention center is off the mark for many aspects of the concept and benefits of the convention center and the meeting spaces of historic gas plant sites. It is a type of informationless knee response that suppresses innovation and progress. Kenneth T. Welch (Time File)Firstly, for 20 years, including three times the Pinellas County Commission, which includes three times the chair of the Tourism Development Council, I know that it has been long debated as a need on this side of the Bay.

CLEARWATER — The girls were squawking.One bawk turned into a chorus of squeals.“I’ve never seen them do this before,” said Austin Deal, an entomologist assistant with Pinellas County Mosquito Control. When he nestled a hen under his arm just a few minutes earlier, she barely made a peep.“We’ve been in here too long without giving them treats,” he said.The ladies — dozens of Red Star hens shuffling around the enclosed chicken coop at the main Pinellas County Mosquito Control lot — were purchased months ago as chicks, chosen for their (typically) docile nature.Eventually, each hen will find her way to…
Be honest: Theme Park Food doesn’t have the best reputation. But Walt Disney World is not appealing. Between four parks, dozens of hotels and the free input Disney Springs Entertainment Complex, there is a solid fare if you know where to look. As someone who’s been eating there for decades (here I’m from Orlando!), I’ve seen the food and drink scene change for the better. Here are some of my favourite spots to grab a bite while on vacation at Mouse House. Morimoto Asia opened in Disney Springs 10 years ago in September this year. This is their Beijing duck…
Wannial Catraz is a big shame in Florida | Column, July 6thI will hold you responsibleColumnist Stephanie Hayes is wrong. The shame that comes with Wannial Catraz won’t take Florida away. It belongs to the whole country and we have reached a point where something like this facility is needed.We have always been here illegally immigrants between us. Most of the time, they lived a peaceful and productive life that benefited them as well as us. Everyone knew this and accepted it. The dam then burst, the country’s southern border disappeared, and we could no longer ignore what was going…
