TikTok advertisers stay put after US appeals court upholds law forcing saleFour-star quarterback Peyton Falzone announced Wednesday that he has decommitted from Virginia Tech. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound junior from Nazareth, Pa., had been committed to the Hokies since June. However, Virginia Tech has struggled to a 5-6 record this season and Falzone has visited Ohio State and Penn State over the past month. He also has plans to visit Iowa and Syracuse this week. "After deep thought and consideration, I've made the difficult decision to decommit from Virginia Tech at this time," Falzone wrote in a statement on X. "From day one, my family and I were treated with love and respect by the entire staff at Virginia Tech. I am deeply thankful to coach (Brent) Pry, coach (Tyler) Bowen and everyone in the Hokie family who believed in me and supported my development. I'll always have great respect and love for Blacksburg and the Hokies. "Reflecting on discussions with my family, I felt it was necessary to make this change. It didn't feel right to be visiting other schools while being locked in with Virginia Tech. I owe it to myself, my family and the schools recruiting me to be fully invested in every opportunity I receive during this important time. "Reopening my recruitment, I am eager to embrace the next steps in this journey. I'm looking forward to working hard this offseason, not only to continue growing as a quarterback but also as a teammate and leader. This new chapter is an opportunity to grow, and I'm excited for what lies ahead." Falzone is the No. 15-ranked quarterback in the 2025 cycle, according to On3.com, whose composite industry ranking has him as the No. 181 overall prospect in the nation. He told the site that Nazareth has a good relationship with Penn State, where former Nazareth players Jahan Dotson and Jake Wilson played. "I've been to Penn State games growing up," Falzone told On3.com. "It's always an awesome experience in Beaver Stadium. It was a great day and it was nice being able to bring my sister and my dad along. I'm glad I was able to see the PSU offense in action." Falzone threw for 2,136 yards and 23 touchdowns while adding another 743 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground this season. Along with Virginia Tech and Penn State, he has received offers from Wisconsin, Syracuse, Bucknell and Lehigh, according to 247Sports.com. --Field Level Media REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

By JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump loved to use tariffs on foreign goods during his first presidency. But their impact was barely noticeable in the overall economy, even if their aftershocks were clear in specific industries. The data show they never fully delivered on his promised factory jobs. Nor did they provoke the avalanche of inflation that critics feared. This time, though, his tariff threats might be different . The president-elect is talking about going much bigger — on a potential scale that creates more uncertainty about whether he’ll do what he says and what the consequences could be. “There’s going to be a lot more tariffs, I mean, he’s pretty clear,” said Michael Stumo, the CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America, a group that has supported import taxes to help domestic manufacturing. The president-elect posted on social media Monday that on his first day in office he would impose 25% tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico and Canada until those countries satisfactorily stop illegal immigration and the flow of illegal drugs such as fentanyl into the United States. Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his initial term. Chinese imports would face additional tariffs of 10% until Beijing cracks down on the production of materials used in making fentanyl, Trump posted. Business groups were quick to warn about rapidly escalating inflation , while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she would counter the move with tariffs on U.S. products. House Democrats put together legislation to strip a president’s ability to unilaterally apply tariffs this drastic, warning that they would likely lead to higher prices for autos, shoes, housing and groceries. Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.” “The economy department is preparing it,” Sheinbaum said. “If there are tariffs, Mexico would increase tariffs, it is a technical task about what would also benefit Mexico,” she said, suggesting her country would impose targeted import duties on U.S. goods in sensitive areas. House Democrats on Tuesday introduced a bill that would require congressional approval for a president to impose tariffs due to claims of a national emergency, a largely symbolic action given Republicans’ coming control of both the House and Senate. “This legislation would enable Congress to limit this sweeping emergency authority and put in place the necessary Congressional oversight before any president – Democrat or Republican – could indiscriminately raise costs on the American people through tariffs,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash. But for Trump, tariffs are now a tested tool that seems less politically controversial even if the mandate he received in November’s election largely involved restraining inflation. The tariffs he imposed on China in his first term were continued by President Joe Biden, a Democrat who even expanded tariffs and restrictions on the world’s second largest economy. Biden administration officials looked at removing Trump’s tariffs in order to bring down inflationary pressures, only to find they were unlikely to help significantly. Tariffs were “so new and unique that it freaked everybody out in 2017,” said Stumo, but they were ultimately somewhat modest. Trump imposed tariffs on solar panels and washing machines at the start of 2018, moves that might have pushed up prices in those sectors even though they also overlapped with plans to open washing machine plants in Tennessee and South Carolina. His administration also levied tariffs on steel and aluminum, including against allies. He then increased tariffs on China, leading to a trade conflict and a limited 2020 agreement that failed to produce the promised Chinese purchases of U.S. goods. Still, the dispute changed relations with China as more U.S. companies looked for alternative suppliers in other countries. Economic research also found the United States may have sacrificed some of its “soft power” as the Chinese population began to watch fewer American movies. The Federal Reserve kept inflation roughly on target, but factory construction spending never jumped in a way that suggested a lasting gain in manufacturing jobs. Separate economic research found the tariff war with China did nothing economically for the communities hurt by offshoring, but it did help Trump and Republicans in those communities politically. When Trump first became president in 2017, the federal government collected $34.6 billion in customs, duties and fees. That sum more than doubled under Trump to $70.8 billion in 2019, according to Office of Management and Budget records. While that sum might seem meaningful, it was relatively small compared to the overall economy. America’s gross domestic product is now $29.3 trillion, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The total tariffs collected in the United States would equal less than 0.3% of GDP. The new tariffs being floated by Trump now are dramatically larger and there could be far more significant impacts. If Mexico, Canada, and China faced the additional tariffs proposed by Trump on all goods imported to the United States, that could be roughly equal to $266 billion in tax collections, a number that does not assume any disruptions in trade or retaliatory moves by other countries. The cost of those taxes would likely be borne by U.S. families, importers and domestic and foreign companies in the form of higher prices or lower profits. Former Biden administration officials said they worried that companies could piggyback on Trump’s tariffs — if they’re imposed — as a rationale to raise their prices, just as many companies after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 boosted food and energy costs and gave several major companies the space to raise prices, according to their own earnings calls with investors. But what Trump didn’t really spell out is what might cause him to back down on tariffs and declare a victory. What he is creating instead with his tariff threats is a sense of uncertainty as companies and countries await the details to figure out what all of this could mean. “We know the key economic policy priorities of the incoming Trump administration, but we don’t know how or when they will be addressed,” said Greg Daco, chief U.S. economist at EY-Parthenon. AP writer Mark Stevenson contributed to this report from Mexico City.

Kingsport rider Clark earns third national championshipTEHRAN - The United States has thrown its full weight behind Israel since the regime launched its war of genocide on the Gaza Strip more than a year ago. The reaction of American politicians to arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against the Israeli premier and his sacked war minister has also made it clear more than ever that Washington has no scruples about aiding and abetting the regime’s crimes. On Thursday, ICC pre-trial judges issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and using starvation as a method of warfare among other inhumane acts. The majority of US politicians regardless of their affiliation with the Democratic or Republican parties expressed outrage at the Hague-based tribunal. Incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden whose party lost the November election to Republican Donald Trump called the ICC’s move “outrageous”. The White House spokeswoman also questioned the court’s legitimacy which is based in the Netherlands. “We fundamentally reject the court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials. We remain deeply concerned by the prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision,” Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters. She reiterated Washington’s argument that the ICC has no jurisdiction over Israeli officials. Republicans took a step further. Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, called for sanctions on the ICC for its warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant. Then came the bombshell as Senator Tom Cotton suggested that the United States could invade Holland to protect Israeli officials from the ICC’s arrest warrants. “The ICC is a kangaroo court and Karim Khan is a deranged fanatic. Woe to him and anyone who tries to enforce these outlaw warrants. Let me give them all a friendly reminder: the American law on the ICC is known as The Hague Invasion Act for a reason. Think about it,” the Arkansas Republican wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. The Hague Invasion Act that was passed in 2002, was designed to shield US personnel from ICC jurisdiction. It authorizes military action to rescue any American or allied citizen held by the court in The Hague. In mid-October last year, Cotton condoned the Israeli massacres of Palestinians in Gaza saying, “As far as I’m concerned, Israel can bounce the rubble in Gaza.” Cotton had also said Israel has “every right” to target schools, kindergartens, and mosques in Gaza. He had blamed Hamas for using these sites as military bases without providing any evidence to back up his claim. Israel has killed more than 44,000 Palestinians in Gaza since launching war on the enclave on October 7, 2023. Israel has also ignored a ruling issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that called on the regime to stop genocidal acts. The ICJ found in January this year that there was a risk of violation of the rights of the Palestinian people to protection from genocide. It ordered Israel to “take all measures within its power” to desist from killing Palestinians in contravention of the genocide convention, to prevent and punish the incitement of genocide, and to facilitate the provision of “urgent basic services”. Israel’s actions clearly indicate that it does not care a whit about international law. The United States’s attitude towards the ICC also amounts to a mockery of justice. The US has spent a record of at least $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since the start of the Gaza onslaught. It has also vetoed four resolutions at the United Nations Security Council which called for establishing a ceasefire in Gaza. Irrespective of the US role in enabling the genocide in Gaza, the comments made by Cotton, who is funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), highlight the influence of the notorious Zionist lobbying group on the political landscape of America. Cotton’s threat of military action against the Dutch-based ICC also shows that the US considers its close Western allies as its vassals.
