The United Nations, which wants to rule the world, has tested a new vaccine-tracking digital ID system in African countries. They will soon roll it out globally. The Africans are easy pickings. The countries are undeveloped and think they’re getting help. They did better than anyone during the pandemic using ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine.

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he plans to create an “External Revenue Service” to collect revenue from tariffs and duties from other countries, even though it was quickly pointed out that the United States government already has an agency tasked with such a job. Over the past couple of months since winning the 2024 presidential election, Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on other countries — including Canada, Mexico, and China — if they do not meet his demands on issues such as illegal immigration, stemming the flow of drugs into the U.S., and sticking with the U.S. dollar for trade. “For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves,” Trump said in a post to his Truth Social platform. “It is time for that to change,” Trump added. “I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties, and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources. We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share. January 20, 2025, will be the birth date of the External Revenue Service. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” JOIN THE MOVEMENT IN ’25 WITH 25% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WITH CODE DW25 The announcement prompted a wave of reactions on social media, including journalists who explained that the United States government already has a federal agency that collects tariffs on foreign goods. “Lol this already exists!” The Washington Examiner’s Tiana Lowe Doescher said in a post to X. “It’s called US Customs & Border Protection, and it’s the second single largest revenue raiser for the federal government — we don’t need to expand the federal govt any further!” Washington Post economic columnist Heather Long noted: “Trump wants to create an ‘External Revenue Service’ to collect tariffs, etc. This is clever marketing, but it doesn’t change the fact that American consumers will end up paying these higher tariffs.” She added: “(Note: US Customs and Border Protection currently collects tariffs and duties as goods enter the USA).”

With the Supreme Court prepared to rule on whether the Chinese social media app TikTok — which has elicited warnings from legislators of its pernicious influence in the United States — could be banned in the United States, another Chinese-owned social media app is gaining adherents at a rapid rate. ByteDance, which owns TikTok, will likely have to sell the social media platform by January 19. Otherwise, it will be shut down in the U.S., unless the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Chinese social media app. “Congress and the president were concerned,” Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh has stated, “that China was accessing information about millions of Americans, tens of millions of Americans, including teenagers, people in their 20s.” That possibility could lead to China using the personal information for spying or blackmail. Additionally, concern has been expressed over disinformation purveyed from China. Meanwhile, the social media app Xiaohongshu, which means “little red book” in Mandarin, “was the most downloaded free app in the U.S. Apple store on Tuesday,” The New York Times reported. “The Americans on Xiaohongshu have rallied under the hashtag ‘TikTokrefugee,’ which had been viewed 100 million times and sparked around 2.5 million discussion threads on the app by Tuesday.” “Little Red Book” also happens to be the title of a book of sayings by Mao Zedong, the tyrannical former leader of Communist China. Under Mao, a reported 40 to 80 million victims died of starvation, persecution, prison labor, and mass executions. In August 2023, Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio, who has led the fight to ban TikTok, wrote in an opinion piece,  “TikTok’s public-policy chief blatantly lied under oath when he denied US data is stored in China. ByteDance, TikTok’s China-based parent company, was caught in October using the app to spy on American journalists.” “Almost a third of the country uses TikTok semi-regularly,” Rubio pointed out. He delineated how TikTok was undercutting American companies by selling products more cheaply through its app. “Who, for that matter, will even be aware of American goods on the market when TikTok’s algorithm begins — as it surely will — to favor Chinese sellers?” he asked. JOIN THE MOVEMENT IN ’25 WITH 25% OFF DAILYWIRE+ ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS WITH CODE DW25 “China’s totalitarian regime hates the United States and is bent on displacing us as the world’s greatest power,” Rubio wrote. “If TikTok users believe their sensitive data are safe in Beijing’s hands — that Beijing wouldn’t use those data to influence, coerce, extort or spy on them in the case of a geopolitical conflict­­ — they need to think again.” In March 2023, Rubio and Iowa GOP Senator Joni Ernst introduced the No Funds for Enablers of Adversarial Propaganda Act to deny federal funds to any individual or entity with an agreement, partnership, or advertisement with TikTok. “Chinese-owned TikTok is a threat, but some entities, including our nation’s airports, are still willing to accept advertising dollars from the company. They are either naive, greedy, or both. Regardless, they shouldn’t receive taxpayer dollars if they are going to accept money from or partner with TikTok. These companies need to stop enabling Chinese Communist Party propaganda and espionage efforts,” Rubio stated.
