Rep.
Scott DesJarlais has called for an amendment to
the Constitution that would require presidential
nominees to show proof of "cognitive competence.".
The amendment holds that, "No person shall be eligible to hold the office
of President or Vice President unless the person demonstrates cognitive competence.".
Fox News reports that the amendment also gives Congress the authority to determine how to test candidates for president and vice president.
The news comes just days after presidential
candidate Nikki Haley called for "mental
competency tests" for lawmakers over the age of 75.
Last week, when Haley announced
her candidacy, she said it was time for
the "permanent politician" to step aside.
.
She reportedly added that while
America is not past its prime, "our politicians are past theirs.".
According to Fox News, both statements
were widely perceived as a dig at both
President Biden and former President Trump.

amid recent signs of mental decline.
This should be a completely nonpartisan
issue and all Americans deserve
leaders that are mentally competent.
How this is not already a requirement
codified in law defies logic, Scott DesJarlais, U.S. representative for Tennessee's

The White House has issued a clarification on the controversial 245% tariff against China, detailing which goods will face the highest import taxes. This unprecedented wave of tariffsâranging from 145% to 245%âincludes legacy measures from Trumpâs first term, as well as Biden-era expansions and new 2025 levies. Chinese goods like needles, syringes, lithium batteries, and sweaters are among the hardest hit. China responded firmly, warning the U.S. against threats and calling for mutual benefit in trade talks. The new tariffs mark a critical escalation in the ongoing trade war.

The White House has issued a clarification on the explosive 245% tariff targeting Chinese imports. The new addendum reveals a two-tier structureâsome goods will face the full 245%, while others remain at 145% for now. Trumpâs administration has unleashed a historic wave of tariffs, including legacy measures from his first term, Biden-era expansions, and new 2025 hikes. Chinaâs Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian condemned U.S. pressure, warning of firm retaliation. From lithium batteries to squid and syringes, the fallout is just beginning. China says itâs open to talksâbut not to blackmail.

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilitiesâraising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions.

In his first major address since leaving office, Joe Biden took sharp aim at Donald Trump's Social Security policies, accusing the administration of trying to "wreck it so they could rob it." Speaking at the ACRD conference in Chicago, Biden warned of potential delays in benefits, criticized GOP tax priorities, and called for unity amid deep national divisions. He highlighted past Democratic leadership and earned ACRDâs Beacon of Hope Award. The Trump administration hit back on X, denying cuts and accusing Biden of misleading Americans. The 2024 political firestorm has begun.

Tensions explode between China and the U.S. as Beijing issues a fierce warning against Washingtonâs latest tariffs. China's Ambassador to the U.S., Xie Feng, likened Trumpâs economic policies to the disastrous protectionism of the Great Depression. Speaking in Washington, he called for cooperation but promised retaliation if provoked. As both nations slap over 100% tariffs and restrict trade, diplomacy hangs by a thread. Will this spiral into a full-blown trade war? Or can both superpowers walk it back before itâs too late?

A new YouGov poll reveals growing public skepticism toward President Trump's China tariff policy. Only 16% of Americans believe the U.S. will benefit from his strategy, while 46% think neither country will gain long-term. The poll shows deep partisan divides, with 61% of Democrats saying no one benefits, and only 29% of Republicans believing tariffs help only the U.S. Meanwhile, nearly half of all Americans see trade with China as âvery importantâ for the U.S. economy. As Trump doubles down, public doubt continues to grow.

Trump-Putin's 2-Hour Call Had No Mention of Ukraine Aid? In a high-stakes two-hour phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the U.S. and Russian leaders discussed a range of issues, but Trump insists Ukraine aid was never brought up. Despite the Kremlin later demanding an end to foreign military aid to Ukraine as a condition for a ceasefire, Trump told Fox News that Putin never personally raised the issue during their conversation. The call, which took place on March 18, saw Putin agree to a 30-day pause on attacks on Ukraineâs energy infrastructure but reject the broader U.S.-proposed ceasefire. Trump described the discussion as "a great call", focusing instead on trade, U.S.-Russia relations, and rare earth minerals.

Trump has doubled down on his support for tariffs, calling them the "greatest thing" America has ever done. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump claimed that tariffs will "make the U.S. rich again" while auto companies are opening new plants due to his policies. However, he refused to rule out a potential recession when pressed in a Fox News interview. The remarks come as the U.S. imposes steep new tariffs on Chinese, Canadian, and Mexican imports, while Beijing retaliates with fresh taxes on American agricultural goods
