Our main shipment in US are local shipping from years ago, and This mainly effect the people who buy the cheap items on aliexpress or ebay where ship from China. Actually we will have some benifit from this.
But shipment from China and HONGKONG will be taxed, this is the same for all the business from China.
We never use USPS from China to USA, only FEDEX, so won't effect. Time to buy UPS or FEDEX stocks.
I just read that the USPS has rescinded that order. They will now be taking packages from China.

USAID funded the visit of Hollywood stars to Ukraine: Jolie cost the most, Van Damme cost the cheapest
Foreign media outlets have revealed how much the Starship Troopers in Ukraine cost American taxpayers after the start of the war. As it turned out, Hollywood stars visited Zelensky not at the call of their hearts, but for hard money.
The now-disgraced USAID (the American Agency for International Development) paid for the celebrity's visit to Ukraine after the start of the special operation. The E! PortalNews has published the details.
Angelina Jolie cost the most - $ 20 million. By the way, that's how much she was paid for the film "Salt" (16+) in 2010, it was her maximum fee, according to open sources.
In second place is the star of "Pirates of the Caribbean" (12+) and "Lord of the Rings" (12+) Orlando Bloom. He earned $8 million on the trip. Sean Penn, who presented his Oscar to Zelensky, received $ 5 million, Ben Stiller - $ 4 million. Jean-Claude Van Damme was the cheapest - only 1.5 million dollars.

Elon Musk Fires Warning as Far-Left Politico Unable to Make Payroll Amid USAID Shut Down: More Media Outlets will See “Mysterious Drop in Revenue”
Elon Musk warned more media outlets will see a drop in revenue after Trump closed down USAID, the Democrats’ money laundering slush fund scheme.
On Tuesday it was reported that staff at far-left magazine Politico did not get paid for the latest pay period.
Politico sent emails to employees claiming it believes there was a “technical error.”
“Due to what we believe to be a technical error, employees did not receive their paychecks as scheduled,” the email read.

New York Times reportedly received millions in funding from U.S. government
Right-wing journalist Ian Miles Cheong recently sparked controversy on X (formerly Twitter) by revealing that the U.S. government has provided tens of millions of dollars to The New York Times (NYT) over the past five years.
According to Cheong, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was the largest contributor, providing $26.9 million, while the National Science Foundation followed with $19.15 million. Notably, the U.S. government allocated $4.1 million to the NYT in August 2024 alone.
Cheong raised concerns about this funding, suggesting that it was used to "prop up" a struggling newspaper that publishes content aligned with certain political agendas, such as pro-Ukraine, anti-Trump, and anti-Elon Musk narratives. He further claimed that the timing of this funding coincided with key political events, including the onset of the war in Ukraine and the 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle. To back his claims, Cheong posted screenshots of funding receipts from USAspending.gov, a government platform that tracks U.S. federal spending.
