Actress, dancer and YouTuber JoJo Siwa recently addressed her feud with actress and outspoken Christian Candace Cameron Bure last year.

As Christian Headlines previously reported, Siwa called Bure of being the ‘rudest celebrity’ she has ever met in a TikTok video last year. At the time, Bure managed to speak with Siwa on the phone and learned that Siwa made the declaration because at a red-carpet premiere of Fuller House, when Siwa asked Bure for a photo, Bure declined, saying, “Not right now.”Bure apologized to Siwa for her incident.

During an interview on Nick Viall’s (The Bachelor, The Bachelorette) podcast, The Viall Files, Siwa once again denounced Bure, only this time for comments she made after leaving the Hallmark channel for the Great American Family network last year.

“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core,” Bure told the Wall Street Journal at the time.

Bure’s comment came in response to a question by the Wall Street Journal about whether GAF would feature LGTBQ+ love stories like the Hallmark channel began doing.

Siwa, who is queer, argued that Bure’s words were “rude and hurtful to a whole community of people,” ChurchLeaders.com reports.

When asked how things stand between her and Bure, Siwa said, “It’s interesting,” noting that she has nothing against religion.

“I grew up super religious. And I mean, I still have faith. I still believe,” Siwa said. She added that she takes no issue with movies depicting “traditional marriage with a man and a woman.”

However, Siwa argued that Bure’s comments on traditional marriage were her attempt to “put down LGBTQIA [people], and she was specifically going to make movies that had no representation of LGBTQIA which is finebut it’s fine if you’re doing it because it isn’t your movie’s storyline.

“But when you’re doing it out of spite to say that too much is about LGBTQ right now ‘you guys suck, and I want to make a movie about traditional marriage and you’re not traditional’ that got to me a little bit,” Siwa added.

“It gave me a little sense of like, okay, you and her are never going to agree. You and her are never going to be friends. You and her are never going to get along,” Siwa told Viall. “I’m never gonna be able to change her. She’s not gonna be able to change me. We can both just live life. We can both just have fun.”

“I wish she was able to be a little more open, a little more accepting,” Siwa went on. “I’m okay with calling her out in the way that I did. For a while, I regretted it, but after I found that article about her not wanting anything to do with LGBTQIA [people]that’s my people, you know what I mean? I gotta stand up for my people. That’s messed up, you know?”

During the interview, the podcast producers then showed Siwa Bure’s exact comment, in which Bure shared that her “heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them. I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians and loved the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family energy.”

“That’s what I don’t like,” Siwa said in response. “Why is [some in the] LGBTQIA [community] not allowed to be good, loving Christian? You know what I mean?”

“You can be gay, and you can look up to the Lord. Why not? You know?” she added.

Trump delays cancellation of de minimis trade exemption targeting China imports

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday that puts a pause on his closing of the de minimis trade exemption, a provision commonly used by Chinese e-commerce companies Temu and Shein.

The order states that de minimis will be restored for small packages shipped from China, “but shall cease to be available for such articles upon notification by the Secretary of Commerce to the President that adequate systems are in place to fully and expediently process and collect tariff revenue” on those items.

Trump on Saturday suspended the exemption as part of new tariffs that include an additional 10% tax on Chinese goods. The nearly century-old exception, known as de minimis, has been used by many e-commerce companies to send goods worth less than $800 into the U.S. duty-free, creating a competitive advantage.

It was predicted that its removal could overwhelm U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees, as the mountain of low-value shipments already making their way into the U.S. would suddenly require formal processing.

De minimis has helped fuel an explosion in cheap goods being shipped from China into the U.S. CBP has said it processed more than 1.3 billion de minimis shipments in 2024. A 2023 report from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party found that Temu and Shein are “likely responsible” for more than 30% of de minimis shipments into the U.S., and “likely nearly half” of all de minimis shipments originate from China.

Critics of the de minimis provision say it’s provided an unfair advantage to Chinese e-commerce companies, and created an influx of packages that are “subject to minimal documentation and inspection,” raising concerns around counterfeit and unsafe goods.

The Biden administration proposed a new rule last September to curb the “overuse and abuse” of de minimis. The rule proposes to strengthen the CBP’s information collection requirements for de minimis shipments.

Tesla increases Model X price, brings back incentive Elon Musk said was ‘not coming back’

Tesla increases Model X price, brings back incentive Elon Musk said was 'not coming back'

Tesla has increased Model X prices and brought back an incentive that CEO Elon Musk said was unsustainable and “not coming back to any vehicles.”

Today, Tesla updated its Model X configurator in the US to raise the prices of the electric SUV by $5,000.

The new prices are $84,990 for the Long Range version and $99,990 for the Plaid version:

The price increase means the Model X ino longer qualifies for the $7,500 Federal EV tax credit as it now exceeds the $80,000 price cap for electric SUVs.

But with the price increase, Tesla is ramping up the incentives.

Tesla brings the price down by $1,000 with a referral code, it gives one option for free if you buy the Full Self-Driving package, and it is bringing pack “free Supercharing for life.”

The latter, Tesla stopped offering because CEO Elon Musk said it was unsustainable.

Back in 2020, the CEO said that it will “not come back to any [Tesla] vehicles”:

“Just us being fools, but free Supercharging forever is not coming back to any vehicles. It’s not a good incentive structure.”

However, it did bring it back last year as an “end-of-the-year incentive.”

But now, Tesla is bringing it back for Model S and Model X, and it applies to orders from the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, Europe and Middle East.

Tesla has made some changes to the program. Instead of being linked to the vehicle, meaning free Supercharging would remain if you sell it, it is now attached to your Tesla account.

The automaker also says that it doesn’t apply to vehicles used for commercial purposes:

“Customers who purchase or lease a new Model X are eligible for free Supercharging during your ownership of the vehicle. Offer is tied to your Tesla Account and cannot be transferred to another vehicle, person or order, even in the case of ownership transfer. Used vehicles, business orders and vehicles used for commercial purposes (like taxi, rideshare and delivery services) are excluded from this promotion.”

However, Tesla also said that the last time, but it is hard to enforce.
