Today, we're talking about the latest news from the White House, the delicate truths between Israel and Hamas, what's new in the tech industry, and other top news for Wednesday, February 12th.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pull over today.

Here's the quote of the day.

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

Soren Kierkegaard.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

Monday kicked off another busy week in the White House.

First, President Trump restored a true 25% tariff on

all imported steel, removing the exemptions for Uncle Sam's biggest steel trading buddies, Mexico and

Canada, and increased tariffs on aluminum to 25%. International criticism was quick. The EU promised

proportionate countermeasures,

criticizing the import tax as bad for business, worse for consumers.

While U.S. industries, especially construction and auto, anticipate rising costs,

Trump said the move will boost domestic production and mark the beginning of making America rich again.

Before capping his Sharpie,

Trump parted in former Illinois governor,

Rod Blagojevich,

who was convicted of trying to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat in 2008.

Blagojevich served eight years of a 14-year sentence

before Trump, who says Blagojevich was set up,

commuted the sentence during his first term.
