President Donald Trumps tariff diplomacy has been a shock treatment to the global economic order, intended as a kind of radiation and chemotherapy to kill the cancer that created the Rust Belt. But overdoing the treatment can kill the patient instead, without removing the carcinogens in the economy. Fortunately, the administrations negotiators have called a truce, and we can reevaluate the treatments effectiveness.The last five weeks have seen tremendous market turmoil, and not just domestically. The chaos that ensued after April 2 extended around the globe and has forced many nations to the negotiating table with the USand that includes countries that engage in unfair trade practices. In that sense, the tariffs have been successful.The Trump administrations play here is to use tariffs as a tool of statecraft to force other nations into reducing their trade barriers through bilateral negotiations. To that end, the preliminary agreement with the United Kingdom shows some promise.President Trump has also used the threat of tariffs very effectively to help secure Americas southern border and stem the flow of fentanyl, which had become the number-one killer of young people.INFLATION TICKED SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN APRIL AS TARIFF IMPACT LOOMSBut the drama around tariffs has had side effects, like chemotherapy killing off healthy cells in the body. This collateral damage could be found in survey data from the regional Federal Reserve Banks and purchasing manager indexes, all of which pointed to sharp declines in business optimism and planned capital expenditures.In short, the on-again-off-again nature of these tariffs has made it extraordinarily difficult for businesses and consumers to plan. There has also been substantial turbulence in Treasury markets, gold prices, and equities.That is not a broad condemnation of tariffs, just as the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation are not a denunciation of cancer treatments. But it does illustrate why heavy-duty therapies like radiation must be used in a targeted manner. The inaccurate "reciprocal" tariff rates released on April 2 caused significantand unnecessarydamage domestically.During the current pause in this tariff fight, the Trump administration would do well to reevaluate its tariff strategy, ensuring, for example, that its reciprocal tariff rates are in fact truly reciprocal.TRUMP REPEATEDLY WALKED BACK TARIFFS IN FIRST 100 DAYS AS WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES LATEST DUTY TAX RELIEFAmerica must also seriously evaluate what turned the Industrial Belt into the Rust Belt. This hollowing out of the nations industrial base was not caused primarily by international trade. Instead, the primary carcinogens were terrible regulatory and tax policies.Most of our economic wounds are self-inflicted. China did not build a massive, bureaucratic regulatory state in this country. Likewise, we cant blame China for our burdensome, overly complicated tax code with high marginal rates. We did that to ourselves.This is perhaps best illustrated by answering a geography question: where is the Rust Belt? Its in Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, etc. In other words, its those areas of the country where liberals have imposed particularly high taxes, overregulation of industry, and forced unionization.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONConversely, where is manufacturing seeing a rebirth in America? Its coming back in places like Texas, Tennessee, and the Carolinasstates with low (or no) income taxes, less regulation, and right-to-work laws.Failed domestic public policy is the primary carcinogen wrecking Americas industrial base, and tariffs cant fix that. At best, fixing international trade problems will give a temporary boost to domestic manufacturing, but the cancer will keep growing.President Trumps tariff diplomacy is working to create a level playing field and open foreign consumer markets to domestic producers, but America needs to look within to reshore manufacturing and rebuild the industrial base.Just throwing tariffs at the problem is like undergoing chemotherapy and radiation without any lifestyle changes. Imagine enduring all the painful side effects of such treatments while smoking cigarettes, maintaining a poor diet, avoiding exercise, and exposing yourself to asbestos and too much sunlightthats the equivalent of whats happening today!If you think this is hyperbole, consider that the regulatory compliance cost for manufacturers in America is about $50,000 to $60,000 per worker, and then theres a tax burden on top of that. Reducing trade abuses is insufficient to reform the domestic policies which have made American workers unemployable in many industries.Tariff diplomacy can go a long way, provided it is targeted and tailored, but we still need a tax-cut bill and more deregulation if we want to heal the patient.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM AJ ANTONI

It's been over two decades since an American men's tennis player won a Grand Slam, but Andre Agassi thinks the drought could end soon.Agassi and Andy Roddick both took home a Grand Slam in 2003, but the United States has come up empty-handed ever since.Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have since taken over the sport, rewriting the history books in the process. Pete Sampras won all 14 of his Grand Slams before those three even won their first.Since then, all they've done is blow by Sampras. Federer has 20, Nadal 22 and Djokovic 24.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"It's interesting. We've been spoiled in years past. [John] McEnroe, [Jimmy] Conners, Andy Roddick. But the truth is there have been three guys who have been pretty damn gritty for a long time in Rafa, Novak,= and Feds," Agassi noted in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.Agassi made sure to mention that the United States has its share of stars. Taylor Fritz is ranked fourth; Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton are ranked 12th and 13th, respectively; Frances Tiafoe is 16th; and Sebastian Korda is 23rd.And Agassi believes courts filled with American players could fuel other Americans to finally get over the hump.NAOMI OSAKA'S FIERY MESSAGE TO CRITICS AFTER WINNING TOURNAMENT IN FRANCE"One thing I can say from experience is I needed Pete, and I needed Jim [Courier]. We each helped the other one believe something was possible. I think these guys, when we look at these big stadiums and these big moments, I'm seeing you on the other side of the net, it makes me believe I belong here," Agassi said."I'm hoping that's the crux we need. I think Ben Shelton has such a huge upside. That's what's great about tennis. It's gladiators, and you gotta figure it out day to day," he said.Since 2004, there have been 84 Grand Slams played (there was no Wimbledon in 2020), and the big three of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic combined to win 65 of them. Of the remaining 19, 13 were won by Andy Murray (three), Stan Wawrinka (three), Jannik Sinner (three) and Carlos Alcaraz (four). No one else in that period has won more than one.It's been nothing but dominance from non-Americans since 2003, and Sinner and Alcaraz have won each of the last five Grand Slams, but Agassi believes a change is coming soon.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Thursday on a challenge to President Donald Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship, and crucially, whether lower courts that have blocked Trump's policies from taking force nationwide have acted beyond their authority.Any decision from the 63 conservative majority could have sweeping implications for Trump's presidency as his lawyers spar against an onslaught of lawsuits in federal courts nationwide.The Supreme Court arguments are expected to focus on lower court judges in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington state who issued "universal" injunctions against Trump's birthright citizenship executive order earlier this year.The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court in March to intervene and limit the scope of three lower court rulings to cover only individuals directly impacted by the relevant courts (or potentially, the 22 states that challenged Trump's executive order). But that's unlikely to be the primary theme at the center of Thursdays high-profile debate.100 DAYS OF INJUNCTIONS, TRIALS AND 'TEFLON DON': TRUMP SECOND TERM MEETS ITS BIGGEST TESTS IN COURTRather, justices are expected to use the oral arguments to weigh the authority of lower courts to issue nationwide, or "universal" injunctions blocking presidential policies teeing up a high-stakes showdown that pits Trump's Article II powers against Article III courts.The hearing comes as Trump and his allies have railed against so-called "activist" judges, whom they have accused of overstepping their powers and acting politically to block Trump's policies. The president even suggested that a federal judge in Washington, D.C., be impeached for his ruling earlier this year, which prompted a rare public rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts.'ACTIVIST' JUDGES KEEP TRYING TO CURB TRUMPS AGENDA HERES HOW HE COULD PUSH BACKTrump has signed more than 150 executive orders in his second term, inviting a seemingly unrelenting wave of challenges in court. Many of these orders have been blocked by federal judges across the country, who have restricted Trump's use of a 1798 wartime immigration law to deport certain migrants, ordered the administration to reinstate certain government personnel and sought to impose limits on Elon Musk's government efficiency organization, DOGE, among other orders.While Trump allies accuse these judges of political bias and overreach, others critical of the administration say the courts have not gone far enough to rein in Trump's attempts to expand the executive branch's powers."The second Trump administration has taken the guardrails off of the norms that historically governed the rule of law, and is undertaking steps to enhance the perceived power of the executive branch to the detriment of the two other co-equal branches," Mark Zaid, a D.C.-based attorney who has sued Trump in several high-profile cases, told Fox News Digitial in an interview to mark his first 100 days in office.FEDERAL JUDGES IN NEW YORK AND TEXAS BLOCK TRUMP DEPORTATIONS AFTER SCOTUS RULINGJustices on the Supreme Court will consider a trio of consolidated cases involving nationwide injunctions handed down by federal judges in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington state that blocked Trump's ban on birthright citizenship from taking force.But the policy remains widely unpopular. More than 22 U.S. states and immigrants' rights groups have sued the Trump administration to block the change to birthright citizenship, arguing in court filings that the executive order is both unconstitutional and "unprecedented."And to date, no court has sided with the Trump administration's executive order seeking to ban birthright citizenship, though multiple district courts have blocked it from taking effect.

An existing drug for HIV could double as a preventative therapy for Alzheimers disease, according to researchers.NRTIs (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors) are antivirals that are approved to treat HIV infection, but scientists from UVA Health at the University of Virginia found that patients taking them were less likely to develop the common form of dementia.There was a roughly 10% annual reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in people taking NRTIs for every year of use of these drugs, according to lead study author Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, M.D., professor of ophthalmology at UVA, who spoke to Fox News Digital about the finding.ALZHEIMERS BRAIN TREATMENT SHOWS PROMISING RESULTS IN NEW STUDYAfter coming across another mechanism that could potentially prevent Alzheimers, the researchers analyzed 24 years of health insurance data, including 270,000 patients.The Alzheimers risk reduction among patients taking NRTIs was "significant and substantial," the researchers wrote in the findings, which were published in the journal Alzheimers & Dementia.Now, the UVA team is calling for clinical trials of NRTIs to gauge their use for treating Alzheimers.Approximately 10 million people worldwide are diagnosed with the common dementia each year.ALZHEIMER'S RATES HAVE REACHED STAGGERING NUMBER AS EXPERTS CALL FOR CHANGE"This level of protection could translate into 60,000 fewer cases of Alzheimer's disease every year in our country, and up to one million fewer cases every year around the world," Ambati told Fox News Digital.In addition to keeping the HIV virus from replicating, NRTIs also prevent the activation of inflammasomes, proteins that are involved in the development of Alzheimers."We had previously shown that NRTIs blocked the inflammasome, so it wasn't altogether surprising that people taking NRTIs might be protecting against this disease," Ambati noted."However, the degree of protection against Alzheimer's was quite surprising."Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health and Fox News senior medical analyst, was not involved in the study but commented on the findings."Inflammasomes are intracellular protein complexes that trigger the release of inflammatory cytokines," he told Fox News Digital. "HIV uses these inflammasomes to fight the immune system.""These chemicals are likely responsible for making Alzheimers worse, or for accelerating the process of cognitive decline based on neuro-inflammation."Rebecca Edelmeyer, Ph.D., vice president of Scientific Engagement at the Alzheimer's Association in Chicago, also reviewed the studys findings, which she called "interesting."'I'M A NEUROLOGIST HERE'S WHY DEMENTIA IS RISING AND HOW TO REDUCE YOUR RISK"Further research and specifically designed clinical trials are needed to fully understand the potential future use of NRTIs to reduce the risk of Alzheimers, but the study highlights the potential role drug repurposing can play in advancing new Alzheimers treatments," she told Fox News Digital.Repurposing existing drugs can offer a "promising pathway," according to Edelmayer. As existing drugs safety and side effects are often already known, the studies can be quicker and less expensive than with new treatments, she added.The research team acknowledged some limitations of the study."Like all retrospective health insurance database studies, the findings of our study are an association between this class of drugs and the development of Alzheimer's disease," Ambati told Fox News Digital."They don't necessarily provide a cause and effect however, the fact that we found this link in multiple databases increases confidence in this result."Siegel agreed that the new study is observational, but noted that it takes place over many years."It also shows that only this particular HIV drug inflammasome dramatically decreases the risk of Alzheimers, not the other HIV drugs, including protease inhibitors," the doctor said."I think this is convincing preliminary evidence that warrants further study," Siegel added. "It is very possible that this drug may be useful in Alzheimers prevention, given the increasing evidence implicating immune dysregulation and inflammation as causes of AD."Looking ahead, the researchers have developed a new drug called K9. Like NRTIs, the novel medication blocks inflammasomes, but is "safer and more effective," according to Ambati.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"The fact that the new drug reversed memory loss and improved spatial learning in mice further increases confidence in our findings," he told Fox News Digital.The UVA team now plans to test K9 in clinical trials for Azheimers.Ambati noted that people should not take NRTIs for Alzheimers prevention unless they are in the context of a clinical trial."If interested, they should be on the lookout for such trials for themselves or loved ones who may be affected," he advised.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthNearly seven million people in the U.S. are currently living with Alzheimers, and the number is expected to reach 13 million by 2050, according to the Alzheimers Association.The UVA study was funded in part by the UVA Strategic Investment Fund and the National Institutes of Health.

Nobody knows how many people in the United States are "illegal immigrants," or into what sub-categories those tens of millions fall.Many millions entered legally on visas and have overstayed those visas. They are "illegal immigrants."Some came with their parents, across the southern or northern border or via airplane and they are of all sorts of ages, from very young to middle-aged. They are "illegal immigrants."JUDGE UPHOLDS TRUMP'S AUTHORITY TO DEPORT CRIMINAL MIGRANTS UNDER ALIEN ENEMIES ACTSome crossed the border illegally in 1987 and have been here almost 40 years. The most recent "amnesty" occurred under President Ronald Reagan in 1986, so everyone who came in illegally after that amnesty is an "illegal immigrant" unless they found a sponsor and did the paperwork and met the requirements for a Green Card.Some came to the states this week because, while President Donald Trump moved quickly and effectively to close the southern border, there are no doubt still a trickle of migrants finding difficult-to-detect means of entering the states. That President Trump could so quickly and effectively close the southern border, despite the repeated and obviously-now-conclusively-shown-to-be-false claims that President Biden needed new legislation to do so, will not be quickly forgotten.For whatever reason, Democrats threw open the borders and despite the obvious and many terrible consequences of the massive wave of illegal migration that followed, it was thechoiceof the Biden-Harris administration to allow that to happen along with its consequent dire impacts on not just the men, women and children exploited by the cartels and human traffickers but also upon the state and local governments charged with the care of these millions of new arrivals from everywhere and those who have been victims of crimes committed by the criminals who came in with the wave.(This governmental malpractice from Democrats at every level should be an issue in every election at every level for many cycles. Democrats wanted and got open borders. You dont have to believe in "replacement theory" I dont, and reject the sinister accusations of its proponents to note the wholesale incompetence of Democrats. We cannot ever allow such a massive influx of unvetted, self-selected migrants to rush the borders ever again, but Democrats in the White House and Congress can be counted on to do exactly the same thing when they next control the border. This should be a major issue in the 2026, 2028, 2030 and 2032 and beyond elections because this Democratic Party blessed the opening of the borders contract to law. They blessed it and encouraged it. They lied about the fact that it was happening and they lied about their ability to stop it.Democrats are the "no borders" party and will be for decades.)Now American lawmakers must decide what to do with the tens of millions who are here. This is a moment for common sense conservatism to take control and spell out a plan. I raised the issue of "regularization" of this population with President Trump last week."I hope you will achieve immigration reform," I said to him, avoiding the hot-button word "amnesty," which implies an immediate and definite path to citizenship no matter how many years are made a condition of the process. Citizenship for people who entered the country illegally ought never to be on any negotiation table. I added: "Regularize the people who are here who are good people."The president responded: "Well be looking at that, Hugh. Well be looking."The president has no doubt supervised huge developments on which many hard working men and women probably did not have their immigration status settled and stamped. Hes a realist as well. His "Border Czar" Tom Homan and his Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem are rightly focused on the criminal and the violent, the cartel members and the security threats, beginning with those who have deportation orders already in place, but President Trump is focused on doing big things. "Regularization" of millions according to common sense rules alongside the deportation of criminals and the violent would be a very big thing.If "regularization of the hard-working and law-abiding" became a Trumpian theme, it would be a big but doable lift. Heres what a regularization process could look like: "Back to the future" time.When America has been faced with massive tasks involving categorization of millions of people around the issue of "stay" or "go," it has been in the eras of the military draft, last very visible and controversial during the Vietnam War. The draft during Vietnam was a continuation of the system adopted after the Korean War Armistice when Congress passed the Reserve Forces Act of 1955, one which stayed in place in various forms until 1973 when President Nixon ended it. Since then the United States has had an "all volunteer" military.America has used conscription in every long war from the American Revolution to the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, to the Vietnam War but not since.In the last draft era, local draft boards covered the land, staffed by volunteers and covering a variety of geographical and population sizes who classified young men according to rules and rendered judgments on which of the potential draftees would go into uniform and those who would not.The local boards were all subject a "district appeal board" established in each Congressional district which heard appeals from the decisions of the local draft boards. (Some accounts assess that there were 3,740 local draft boards with thousands of volunteer members. There were 435 "Congressional District" boards of appeal. Whether local or district, the membership of the boards was by presidential appointment.)Assume some iteration of that model to deal with the millions of illegal immigrants, with membership of "regularization boards" emerging from a bipartisan selection process and charged with very broad authority to do one and only one thing: Give conditional permission "blue cards" perhaps? to any immigrant in the country without permission otherwise already obtained to remain unless and until arrested for any felony or violent misdemeanor.This approach would incentivize law-abiding behavior and reward good conduct. It would also bring a population into legal status allowing for legal work and legal taxation. Whether active employment is required for regularization is something to be debated because most migrants are already working, but reluctance to implicate current employers in illegal activity hidden from them should not become a hinderance to regularization.An open-ended request to applicants for conditional regularization to provide an account of their lives indicating that they should be regularized could include anything from tax returns filed, to utility bills paid and bank accounts maintained, multiple letters of reference from the community, family and friends. Most adults make judgments about men and women every day: Whom to employ; whom to hire for handyman work or child care; whom to travel with or room withthe list is endless. Migrants who intend only to build productive lives in the United States and who are working hard towards that end and doing so with respect to federal, state and local laws save the one that prohibited their entry or overstay could enjoy a presumption of regularization, one forfeited the moment of arrest or violence.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThis is the broad outline of a big idea about how to begin to approach a massive reality: There are tens of millions of non-Americans in the country without permission. We need to narrow the number of people on whom the resources of our immigration control and removal and law enforcement resources are focused.The economy and thus the future of the country need people who are hard-working and eager to learn.There need be no assumption of "chain migration" and there should even be explicit prohibitions on such incentives. Combining the "border hawk/regularization dove" inclinations creates a super-majority of Americans who are genuine moderates on the issue of illegal immigration. It is good policy. It is also great politics.In my most recent interview of President Trump I noted to him that he had begun a political realignment, but I also noted past realignments have been begun and also lost for a failure to move to the center, most recently and obviously by President Obama who went left instead of to the center. His legacy is the Democratic Party of today: hard left and going farther left still.President Trump can cement his legacy with a regularization program combined with the toughest of crackdowns on the criminal and the violent. If he decides to go for that, its a domestic equivalent of "Nixon-to-China," and a guarantee of the realignment lasting as well as his reputation as a one-of-a-kind president.Hugh Hewitt is a Fox News contributor, and host of "The Hugh Hewitt Show," heard weekday mornings 6am to 9am ET on the Salem Radio Network, and simulcast on Salem News Channel.

President Donald Trump blasted President Joe Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan and cited his wish to give troops a pay raise in an address to U.S. service members on Thursday.Trump made the comments during an address to troops at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar during his extended trip to the Middle East."My 2026 budget includes across the board maybe you don't want to look for the good of the country, you don't have to take it pay raises for each and every one of you. Substantial pay raises," Trump said."You are without a doubt the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. That's the way it is. I said it last night. I said it's strong. We have the strongest military in the world. It's not even a contest.

"Eat more fiber" might be a common recommendation from your doctor or healthcare provider.But getting the recommended amount can actually be a simple task, according to Robin DeCicco, a New York-based certified holistic nutritionist.DeCicco told Fox News Digital that fiber can help with disease prevention, weight loss, lowering cholesterol and digestion issues such as constipation. (See the video at the top of this article.)PROTEIN-PACKED AMERICAN-GROWN RICE ALTERNATIVE HAS TWICE THE AMOUNT AS QUINOAHarvard Medical School data has found that people who ate more fiber from fruit, vegetables and whole grains were able to prevent dying from heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes by 16% to 24%.The "huge" percentage stems from eating about 25 to 29 grams of fiber per day, which the nutritionist said is "not complicated."For breakfast, DeCicco recommended adding some berries and ground flaxseed to yogurt for a fiber boost.For lunch, packing a sandwich with extra lettuce and tomatoes can have the same effect, she said.Eating vegetables with hummus or a handful of nuts like almonds and pistachios, she said, can also serve as high-fiber snacks.WHAT IS MUSHROOM COFFEE? CAFFEINE ALTERNATIVE OFFERS SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITSFor dinner, DeCicco suggested having a side of high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, zucchini or salad."Just think about how to add a little bit of fiber to each part of your day, and you'll get to those 29 grams instantly," she said.While there are many ways to get in more fiber, DeCicco shared creative ways to incorporate ground flaxseed into various meals.This can include mixing it into soups, sauces, chilis and stews, as well as yogurt, smoothies or oatmeal.COMMON HOUSEHOLD SPICE MAY INTERFERE WITH MEDICINES, STUDY SUGGESTSMeats such as chicken and turkey can be breaded with ground flax, while it can also be added to a ground-beef mixture for meatballs, meatloaf or burgers.Ground flax can also be used as breading on fish or eggplant as a healthier option."When you're roasting or baking all of those other foods, the proteins and the vegetables, it can actually get crispy from using the flax," DeCicco said.The nutritionist recommended a daily serving of one to two tablespoons of ground flax, which is best for digestion and absorption.Flax contains properties such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) omega-3 fatty acids and lignans, which are responsible for anti-aging, reducing inflammation, preventing disease and protecting overall brain and heart health, according to DeCicco.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERAlthough there are incredible benefits to consuming flax, DiCicco said, it's best to start out slow with a half-teaspoon to help the body to get used to it.She also recommended drinking lots of water as fiber intake increases."It helps to reduce how fiber can bulk in your stomach," she said. "And your body uses it more readily and then is able to excrete the fiber as opposed to it bulking in your colon."DeCicco shared a fiber-filled energy ball recipe as a great dessert alternative.Servings: About 12 energy balls1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)2 cups natural organic peanut butter (or any all-natural nut/seed butter with no added sugar or oil)3 tablespoons cacao nibs (with no added sugar)For more Lifestyle articles, visitfoxnews.com/lifestyle cup ground flaxseedA few handfuls of dried no sugar added cranberries or dried blueberries3 tablespoons raw sunflower seeds (chop up)2 to 3 teaspoons wild honey(Optional: Can add more nuts/dried fruit to mixture; can change nuts/seeds/fruit options.)(Note: Have all ingredients on hand and more than the amount listed above, as this type of recipe calls for adding in more than the above-mentioned measurements depending on how easily or not the dough sticks together.)1.
