After U.S. extends AGOA, China finally agrees zero-tariff access for 53 African nations
- China will implement zero-tariff treatment for imports from 53 African countries with which it maintains diplomatic relations from May 1, 2026, state media reported on Saturday, in a move that broadens Beijing’s preferential trade regime across the continent.
- China announced a zero-tariff policy for imports from 53 African nations, effective May 2026, aiming to enhance trade relations.
Source: businessinsider.com Key details:
- Policy overview: On April 2, 2025, Trump issued Executive Order 14257, applying a 10% baseline tariff on imports from nearly all countries, plus additional country-specific rates (11-50%) on 57 nations, including 20 African ones. Rates were calculated based on 2024 trade deficits, divided by imports, then halved. Exemptions applied to certain products like pharmaceuticals and minerals.
- Impact on African countries: Initially, 31 African nations faced higher rates, but adjustments in July-August 2025 reduced them for many, resulting in tariffs on 20 countries ranging from 11% (e.g., Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo) to 50% (Lesotho). South Africa faced a 30% rate—the highest in sub-Saharan Africa—due to political tensions and trade imbalances. Other affected countries included Nigeria (15%), Zimbabwe, and several with 10-15% rates.

It's really not true that "this percentage has more than doubled since Q1 2025" b/c the Biden administration was literally hiding the data – they announced that delinquencies would not be reported to credit bureaus, but the accounts were nevertheless in delinquency: https://t.co/2zuzKRLdEL

- The Bureau of Labor and Statistics has released the January inflation data [SEE HERE] and the results are much better than they expected.
- Overall inflation is 2.4% year-over-year, and there are zero indications that tariffs are having any impact on consumer prices [See Apparel].
- CORE inflation, which removes food and energy, comes in at 2.5% year-over-year, the lowest number since March 2021. This is like reliving 2018 all over again, when the pundits proclaimed with absolute certainty that Trump’s tariff approach was going to cause inflation; it never happened.
- VIA ABC – Inflation cooled in January, dropping price increases to their lowest level in nine months, new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed. The lower-than-expected reading defied fears of a tariff-induced hike in overall costs.
- Prices rose 2.4% in January compared to a year earlier, according to the Consumer Price Index.
- The U.S. economy is finally digging out from the mess created by President Joe Biden’s spending spree and Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell’s inflationary monetary policy.
- It’s not just that inflation—the pace of price increases—is slowing. Many prices are actually falling, fulfilling a campaign promise of President Donald Trump.

DISCLAIMER 🚨 As Pam Bondi announces DOJ has released all Epstein files list of high-profile names appearing in the documents.
There is everything in these files, congressional statements, DOJ records, FBI briefings, text messages, news articles.
If someone emailed Epstein… pic.twitter.com/ad9nY8vOB7
— J (@JayTC53) February 15, 2026
“I love Elvis Presley’s music” that name appears on the list. Thomas Massie who is on this list as well, has created a total shit storm. He demanded there be No redactions. He got no redactions. Now “innocent” people such as himself are on this list and will be accused of being a pedophile. Congrats Thomas Massie. You played yourself.
The Department released materials tied to the following nine categories:
- Jeffrey Epstein — all investigations, prosecutions, and custodial matters
- Ghislaine Maxwell
- Flight logs and travel records — aircraft manifests, itineraries, customs records, vessels, vehicles used by Epstein or related entities
- Individuals named in connection with Epstein’s criminal activity, civil settlements, immunity deals, plea agreements, or investigations
- Entities (corporate, nonprofit, academic, governmental) tied to Epstein’s trafficking or financial networks
- Immunity deals, non-prosecution agreements, plea bargains, sealed agreements involving Epstein or associates
- Internal DOJ communications regarding decisions to charge or decline prosecution
- Communications regarding destruction, deletion, or concealment of evidence
- Documentation of Epstein’s detention and death, including incident reports, witness interviews, autopsy files
The DOJ stated:
“No records were withheld or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.”
Timeline:
“Pam Bondi must release the names!”
…She releases the names.
“What are we supposed to do with a list of names?”

The “problem” is that you didn’t come to us, but immediately ran to X and the House floor and made false accusations about four men, while we were checking the facts. https://t.co/mMX5W709lT
— Todd Blanche (@DAGToddBlanche) February 14, 2026
- Political operatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna have never mentioned the name Katheryn Ruemmler despite her name appearing thousands of times in emails within the Epstein files. Yet both Massie and Khanna went out of their way to publicly claim they forced the DOJ to release the names of four men they accused of being sex traffickers and pedophiles.
- Massie was very proud of his efforts to discover the names and force the DOJ to unredact them. As Massie proclaimed, continuously: if President Trump and the DOJ did not publicly unredact the names, it would be proof that President Trump and the DOJ were protecting pedophiles and sex traffickers.
- After holding their joint press conference, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna then went to the House of Representatives to proclaim (1) Salvatore Nuara, (2) Zurab Mikeladze, (3) Leonid Leonov and (4) Nicola Caputo were sexual deviants, pedophiles and much worse. They were horrible men who had abused underage girls.
- …. Except, there was a problem. A BIG PROBLEM.
- Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov and Nicola Caputo had absolutely nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein or anything even remotely associated with Jeffrey Epstein. [SEE HERE]
- The names Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov and Nicola Caputo were in the Epstein files because they were random pictures of men, random passport pictures, used in a photo lineup during questioning of one of Epstein’s victims.
- Thanks to the ‘HE’S A WITCH” hunting efforts of Massie and Khanna, four random guys who never new anything about the DOJ or the FBI, or Jeffrey Epstein or anything else even remotely in that orbit, were labeled as sex criminals and horrific people.
- Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov, and Nicola Caputo did not know they were in the Epstein files and did not know their pictures were ever used by the FBI. Their random passport photographs were used in an FBI lineup to question witnesses, that’s it. But thanks to Ro Khanna and the political efforts of Thomas Massie, they were wrongly labeled.

The endless outrage theater over this or that Epstein email is so tiresome, now having reached full-blown 9/11 absurdity. Meanwhile, the real takeaway is hiding in plain sight: the sheer extent of how cozy, interconnected, and self-dealing elite circles actually are.

— Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) February 14, 2026
at the names on the list below, which is only a tiny sample of Epstein’s circle. Not everything is about the abuse. That was horrific, but the victims have already gone through at least three major compensation processes, which may explain why they aren’t speaking out much. The point is that while some of these elites may have been involved in the abuse, most were just there for influence, capital, networking, etc. We already knew this ecosystem existed, but the Epstein files offer a rare, first-hand look at just how deeply entangled and normalized elite networks really are.

President Trump’s Plan
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has just declared open season on government waste, fraud, and abuse. The message to the swamp is clear: We are coming for you, and we are paying your colleagues to help us do it.
President Trump has been clear that Americans have a right to know that their tax dollars are not being diverted to fund acts of global terror or to fund luxury cars for fraudsters. At Treasury, we follow the money. We did it with the mafia, we have done it with the cartels, and… https://t.co/YRP9pzgJ3n
— Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (@SecScottBessent) February 13, 2026
we’re doing it with the Somali fraudsters. We are going to offer whistleblower payments to anyone who wants to tell us the who, what, when, where, and how this fraud and money laundering has occurred.
- But here’s where things get serious.
- Bessent made it clear that this is not just another bureaucratic “report it and forget it” program. Americans with inside knowledge of fraud will now have a direct financial incentive to expose wrongdoing:
-
“We are encouraging whistleblowers who know about fraud—people who are stealing from the American taxpayer—to come forward. At Treasury, we’re setting up a website, and we will be giving rewards of up to 10% to 30% of the fines that we levy.”
- That means individuals who provide actionable intelligence that leads to successful enforcement actions could walk away with a massive payday, potentially receiving between 10% and 30% of the fines imposed on those defrauding American taxpayers.

- With Vice President JD Vance prepared to break a tie if necessary, supporters of the legislation now say they have the numbers needed to pass the bill under a standing or “talking” filibuster scenario, marking a potential turning point in the GOP’s long-running effort to implement nationwide voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal elections.
