EU now considering tariffs on China to stop the trade imbalance

So now Europe is concerned that China will prevent them from being able to compete fairly and they may want their own tariffs on China to help improve their trade imbalance. Is it possible that Trump was onto something with these tariffs as a tool to force China into a corner?

It will be interesting to see how the EU plays this one. I am sure they don't want to help Trump get a win either.

UK BB loses target to Ole Rick Barnes

I always liked Ole Rick!​

Five-star Kentucky target Nate Ament commits to an SEC rival​

Story by Connor O'Bryan, UK Wildcats Wire

Kentucky basketball has missed out on another target, and this time a high-profile high school recruit.

Five-star high school forward Nate Ament has committed to the Tennessee Volunteers over competing schools like Kentucky, per ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

"This was a very hard decision," Ament said. "It took me a little longer than most. I wanted to make sure it was the right fit. I could have gone to any of the five finalists. Or even to schools outside the finalists. Ultimately, I felt like this was the best place for me and my family, and the coaching staff was the best fit for me. I was looking at the transfer portal and rosters for next season, asking myself how I would fit with teammates? How much can I trust the coaches I am talking to? What goals do they have, and do they align with mine?"

The 6'9" power forward was ranked as the fourth-overall player in the 2025 high school basketball recruiting class. He was the highest ranked recruit that was still available, and had yet to commit to a college at any point during his high school campaign.

Ament outright said his freshman campaign at Tennessee will be his only as a college basketball player, as he'll soon be taking his next steps towards the NBA.

"Coach (Rick) Barnes sees me as a one-and-done type player," Ament said. "He has done it before with Kevin Durant. He sees me as that kind of guy for his program. I built a great relationship with the coaching staff. I trust them a lot, and they have big goals for me. I think they'll do a great job of developing me as a player and a young man. I trust the coaches to help me get to the next level."

“The Rehearsal” on HBO (Nathan Fielder)

This may not be everyone’s cup of tea. I thought it was borderline genius. Like actual art. But I’m also prone to exaggeration when I like something. The premise is that he uses elaborate “rehearsals” (with sets and actors) so a real person can make a decision or figure out how to handle something complicated in their life. The first episode doesn’t prepare you for the rest of the series. Each episode is connected but completely different.

I loved his show Nathan For You, but didn’t know what I was getting into with this new series. If you like weird, borderline-avant garde comedy, give this a try. For those not familiar with Nathan Fielder, his comedy kind of reminds me of Sacha Cohen (who he has directed for in the past), but that doesn’t really prepare you either.

No spoilers, but the finale is something you’ll either love or hate as it’s own thing, even if you loved the first five episodes.
