Tucker Carlson: "Like it or not, Iran is uniquely standing up for Palestinians and the people of Lebanon... The rest of the world is watching this in horror and no one else is doing anything about it."

Good — American jobs in the trades for American workers. Every high school should bring back shop class, too, wsj.com/opinion/high-tech-se…

From @WSJopinion: High-tech needs skilled tradesmen. A new program will pay workers as they train and promise them jobs building new digital infrastructure, write @DinaPowellMcC and @mikeroweworks. on.wsj.com/4e95fsf

President Trump could immediately give consumers relief tomorrow by ending all tariffs, but his advisors from the Island of Misfit Toys have convinced him he's helping America. They'll go to their graves insisting they were right when they are not.

The White House says it will reduce tariffs on agricultural equipment, such as combines and harvesters, in order to reduce costs for US farmers and manufacturers bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

President Reagan’s vision of free markets, strong families, and American leadership helped build decades of economic growth and prosperity. AAF is carrying this tradition forward—advancing conservative policies and principles that made America exceptional. AAF’s President @TimChapman sums it up perfectly: “AAF’s strength is staying principled and building for the long term.”

Heartland farmers are being squeezed by policies from inside the beltway. They don't need a bailout; they need government's boot off their back. @AmericanFreedom has nine recs to unleash the agricultural sector and bring food prices down. HT @YarrowGrace for the coverage.

WATCH: NBC's Kristen Welker addresses the Platner sexting scandal within the panel discussion at "Meet the Press". Fmr. Rep. Val Demings dismisses it all as she goes into her set piece, is absolutely COOKED by Stephen Hayes KRISTEN WELKER: Val, I want to ask you about another controversial candidate for Democrats. You talked about Maine, Graham Platner. I’m going to just read from my notes because I want to get it right. He’s faced a series of controversies, including past posts about sexual assault, a tattoo that resembled a Nazi symbol that he had covered up right before he ran, by the way, and now sexually explicit texts with other women despite being married. Does Graham Platner pose a headache for Democrats? VAL DEMINGS: Well, let me go back to Texas for just a moment. Cornyn was a beloved candidate beloved by Republicans in Washington and in Texas. I’m not sure that candidate flaws matter as much as they used to. Millions of dollars were spent to save Cornyn. Didn’t work. Paxton won by a landslide. But the bottom line is Platner, he’s a combat veteran, has served in multiple tours of duty, an oyster farmer. And I believe that sends a message to voters that he understands the working class, had to go to work every day. I think people are so worried about the future right now they’re going to look at, “Do I feel like this candidate is going to fight for me and what I care about?” If Maine believes that through all of the controversy, as we just saw with Paxton, Platner will win. STEPHEN HAYES: But this is where– this is where people, normal people watching this at home, are so frustrated with the level of toxic partisanship where we’ve got somebody who they have to defend. You’ve got Democrats who are defending Graham Platner, who are calling him a good and decent man, and arguing that the guy with the Nazi tattoo, “We really need him because he has to beat Susan Collins,” one of the most bipartisan members of Congress in the past couple decades, who voted to convict Donald Trump. “But it’s so important. We have to have Graham Platner. We have to have somebody who savaged military veterans, said that a military veteran who was being shot at deserved to die, who’s blamed rape victims for their own assaults.” And you’ve now got a Democratic Party rallying around somebody like that?
