President Donald Trump delivers remarks on tariffs in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington
There is now certainty that this White House trade strategy is both nonsensical and unachievable. Look, we can all accept that China is a menace and a huge cheater, but it would be preferable if the White House specifically dealt with Xi Jinping. One can certainly make the case that <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-what-gets-a-reprieve-from-trumps-tariffs-understanding-the-usmca/" target="_blank">Mexico </a>was the big winner from the NAFTA sucking sound (not Canada)
But when President Trump states that the trade plan is “our declaration of economic independence,” what he is
saying is that he wants America to be “independent” – or “liberated” – from bilateral deficits with all countries running such gaps against the U.S
and that takes out Smoot-Hawley in 1930 and is the highest since 1910 (a big shock from 2.5 per cent before this current trade war was launched)
<a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-trumps-tariffs-are-what-he-says-they-are-weapons-of-blunt-force-wrong/">Andrew Coyne: Trump’s tariffs are what he says they are: weapons of blunt-force, wrong-headed protectionism</a>
economy will what I am about to say resonate fully
and investors are typically ahead of the data
which is a trade policy built on a full set of inconsistencies and unachievable objectives
That everyone is being conned into believing that the tariff war is “reciprocal.”
Levelling the playing field was initially thought about tit-for-tat tariffs
but it really is all about a complete elimination of ALL trade surpluses that countries run against the U.S.
President <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/topics/donald-trump/" target="_blank">Trump </a>said he loved that word “reciprocal” <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-trump-says-25-per-cent-tariff-on-foreign-made-automobiles-coming-at/" target="_blank">when he spoke at the Rose Garden</a> on Wednesday and even took the time to define it for us
What is reciprocal about imposing a “tariff” of 10 per cent on the U.K
(as an example) when it has a tariff rate of 0.7 per cent on imports of U.S
That is what we should be asking ourselves
Or a 10 per cent tariff now imposed on Australia when it has no tariffs at all on imports of U.S
<a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/inside-the-market/article-david-rosenberg-canada-is-at-economic-war-its-time-for-ottawa-to-make/">David Rosenberg: Canada is at economic war. It’s time for Ottawa to make these bold moves to save the country</a>
Reciprocal would mean a 3.9 per cent tariff on Korea
It would mean a 3.9 per cent tariff on Japan
India got slapped with a 26 per cent tariff even though its tariff rate on the U.S
What is with Vietnam being hit with a 46 per cent “tariff” when its comparable on U.S
products is … wait for it … 2.9 per cent (in a $30 trillion U.S
Vietnam runs the grand total of a $123-billion trade surplus with the U.S.)
Thailand charges a 6.2 per cent tariff rate
just slammed it with a 36 per cent punitive “tariff.”
just got hit with a massive 44 per cent “tariff” rate; Madagascar with a 47 per cent levy (impoverished nations about to become a whole lot poorer)
And the biggest regions as no stone was left unturned – like the EU
imports and just got slapped with a 20 per cent tariff by the administration
None of this is “reciprocal,” and none of it makes any sense
These are not really “tariffs” that are being imposed
These are actions aimed at completely eliminating the U.S
bilateral trade deficit with every country
That is why the “tariff” is really not that at all but rather a “ratio” of every country’s trade surplus with the U.S
divided by the exports of that country – it is that number that the White House expects to rid the United States of its trade deficits; not just at an aggregate level
but for every country that runs a trade surplus with America
<a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/inside-the-market/article-david-rosenberg-trumps-misguided-approach-to-trade-ignores/">David Rosenberg: Trump’s misguided approach to trade ignores uncomfortable truths – and puts portfolios at great risk</a>
they are ratios that are intended to cause trade deficits to go away entirely (depending on the elasticities)
What that means is that every country can drop its tariff rate to zero
and it won’t matter because that will not cause the bilateral trade gaps to disappear – and that is the endgame for this administration
the EU has stated it will wait four weeks before responding as it seeks to negotiate with the United States
but what is there to negotiate because lowering or even eliminating tariffs
won’t matter (as we saw in the case of Israel which did exactly that and still faced a 17 per cent penalty)
Because the president and his team believe that trade deficits are “subsidies,” pure and simple
Again, to be clear, what the White House just unveiled are NOT “reciprocal” tariffs by a long shot. They are rooted in a misapprehension that trade deficits are “subsidies” (which the president keeps referencing when he talks about <a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-us-trump-tariffs-business-impact-on-canadian-industries/" target="_blank">Canada</a>)
The United States is the largest and richest economy on the planet
This is all about the laws of large and small numbers
it is next to impossible for them to import all that much given their smaller populations and GDP bases
may be big in relation to their economies but very small relative to the size of the U.S
There is no way they will be able to boost their imports sufficiently to cause a balance in bilateral trade
Maybe they will just end up shipping less to the U.S
but then consumers and businesses in America will be deprived the products they have been used to buying all these years and decades
And don’t expect businesses to leap the “tariff wall” or domestic producers step into the fray since many of these goods aren’t even produced at the U.S
– normally a country puts on a tariff for protection purposes to support the local industry but there are simply too many products that American consumers want that just aren’t made at home
And as Adam Smith and David Ricardo taught us
there isn’t anything wrong or abnormal about the theory of comparative advantage … it is a truth
What is abnormal is this huge and unnecessary shock
which was not top of mind for voters for last November (the cost-of-living
and health care were the top concerns; everything else
including trade/tariffs was tied for dead last)
it makes zero sense to expect anything but deficits with these nations
the law of large and small numbers here is going to make it next to impossible for every bilateral deficit to banish
And there is a huge correlation between consumer spending and imports
No national sales tax and a system that encourages an extremely low personal savings rate
The rest of the world has no such culture and runs much higher savings rates
Perhaps the White House should be pressuring these other countries to pursue policies that encourage households to spend nearly 100 per cent of their incomes
People shop at Macy’s department store in Manhattan in New York City
I’m not so sure this would play well in parts of the world that treat thrift and savings a little differently
Not to mention the reality that while you can start a global trade war
you can’t force the rest of the world to change their culture
dollar is the reserve currency of the world
It is perfectly normal for the reserve currency country to be running current account deficits with other countries
Because the status of trust and stability that comes with being the reserve currency leads to capital account surpluses
because of the wealth and income streams they cause
flow through into a current account deficit via the import channel
The capital account drives the current account and
you never hear about despite the fact that it is an incontrovertible fact that the balance-of-payments must always balance
To emphasize that last point: What the Trump Team doesn’t seem to realize is that for the reserve currency
the deficit on trade necessarily coincides with capital account surpluses and it is those accumulated surpluses (to repeat: which by definition must balance the current deficit since the balance-of-payments have to balance)
that have led to the fact that foreigners hold $15-trillion worth of U.S
this new trade policy is not going to end up getting rid of the deficits
President Trump now says he is willing to “negotiate,” but that is only a reaction to what has happened to the equity market which he recently said he wasn’t watching
with a record 70 per cent exposure in its financial asset mix to the equity market
if I am correct that the policy just unveiled will not cause the trade deficit to be eliminated
these punitive “tariff” rates – more like forced relative price changes – are very likely here to stay
Globe economics reporter Mark Rendell says Wednesday’s tariff announcement by President Donald Trump saw Canada not hit as hard as predicted
but that the trade war has now gone global
is going to cause a sharp upward level shift in the U.S
And then that will pose a serious squeeze on real personal incomes
there is little doubt a recession will be staring us in the face
there are no more excess “Biden” pandemic savings left for the household sector and no fiscal stimulus is coming around the corner
These are what helped prevent a recession in the face of the most acute tightening in monetary policy since the early 1980s
the current Fed is intentionally keeping policy tight
there was also a huge catalyst for enthusiasm and an end to the bear market as well as recession risk – which was the advent of generative AI
which helped generate a wave of wealth creation and business investment
Will there be another major inflection point in the technology curve coming our way
Or is this trade shock going to tip the economy into recession with no apparent offset this time to cushion the blow
We haven’t even seen all the retaliation yet
but suffice it to say that this is the single biggest negative trade shock since the 1930s
dollar as it enters a tailspin – having incurred its steepest decline on record the day after the Rose Garden announcement
If you believe that this trade policy will succeed
then you are ipso facto of the view that America will end up relinquishing its role as being the reserve currency
Maybe that is really President Trump’s hidden agenda because if he believes that trade deficits should be eliminated
he must also want to see the capital account surplus go away
this is the byproduct of being a reserve currency – capital account surpluses that help bring down the cost of capital and underpin superior rates of return on assets
This is the “burden” of a reserve currency status – trade deficits caused by capital account surpluses
then I suggest everyone just keep buying gold and silver
And if you think we emerge unscathed from all this instability and do not go into recession
then stocks are a “buy” and “bonds” are a sell
But if you can see a recession around the corner
then know that the financial markets – stock valuations
and Treasury yields – have barely gone halfway towards pricing one in
equities are not yet fully pricing in the global trade war and its negative impact on growth
we recommend adjusting sector exposure to navigate these risks and hide behind the names with strong fundamentals and a defensive nature
One of the key strategies that stands out in that context is long Utilities (defensive growth
not exposed to tariffs) and short Consumer Discretionary (high exposure to tariff threat
headwinds from weakening consumer sentiment)

The eight total appointments replace Doug Emhoff and other Biden picks Trump dismissed this week
Days after firing eight Joe Biden-era appointees from the board of the U.S
including former second gentleman Doug Emhoff
President Donald Trump tapped eight new members
who was a Trump surrogate during last year’s campaign
the founding editor and publisher of Yated Ne’eman
son of Trump’s diplomatic envoy Steve Witkoff
They will replace Emhoff and a number of Biden administration officials, including Susan Rice, Tom Perez and Ron Klain, all of whom Trump <a href="https://www.jta.org/2025/04/29/politics/trump-fires-doug-emhoff-from-holocaust-memorial-council">abruptly dismissed from the board this week</a>
“This Council has the important task of preserving the memories and stories of the loved ones whose lives were robbed in one of the darkest moments in History. NEVER FORGET!” Trump wrote in the announcement late Thursday <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114436165701323476">on his social media platform Truth Social</a>
The eight new names will join 41 other members currently sitting on the council, including a number of other Biden appointees, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/05/02/holocaust-memorial-museum-trump-appointees-announced/">the Washington Post reported</a>
Board members have often been political appointments and serve five year terms
It is highly unusual to dismiss groups of members midway through their terms
Rosenberg, a <a href="https://www.jta.org/2024/10/31/united-states/shock-jock-sid-rosenberg-has-become-one-of-trumps-most-aggressive-jewish-surrogates">longtime personality on conservative AM radio</a>, is a fierce Trump defender who<a href="https://www.jta.org/2024/10/27/united-states/trumps-madison-square-garden-rally-to-feature-tucker-carlson-who-recently-hosted-holocaust-denier"> spoke at an October campaign rally for the president held at Madison Square Garden</a>
Rosenberg cracked a joke about parallels to an infamous 1939 pro-Nazi rally held at the same venue
Rosenberg has also advocated heavily for Israel in recent months, making several visits to the country. He <a href="https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/transcript/donald-trump-interview-sid-rosenberg-wabc-radio-october-7-2024/">interviewed Trump live from Israel</a> on the one-year anniversary of Oct
and was touring Israel when the president appointed him to the board this week — a juxtaposition he remarked was “surreal.”
In <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/407734">comments to Israeli media</a>
he added that the appointment “isn’t just a personal milestone — it’s a chance to make a real impact in the fight for memory
when Jew-hatred is rising and history is being distorted
I’m ready to step up in an even bigger way.”
The list of appointees also included Barbara Feingold, a board member for the Republican Jewish Coalition; Betty Schwartz, who previously served on the board and is the <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/livingston/sections/giving-back/articles/u-s-holocaust-memorial-museum-to-honor-livingston-resident-at-tribute-event">daughter of a survivor who was one of the Holocaust museum’s founders</a>; Ariel Abergel
who has worked for Fox News as well as in the first Trump White House; Robert Garson
president of the American Association of Jewish Lawyers; and Fred Marcus
“At this time of high antisemitism and Holocaust distortion and denial
the Museum is gratified that our visitation is robust and demand for Holocaust education is increasing,” the museum told the Post in a statement
“We look forward to continuing to advance our vitally important mission as we work with the Trump Administration.”

ALL ISRAEL NEWS Editor-in-Chief Joel Rosenberg and his wife
this month hosted The Joshua Fund’s second Evangelical solidarity mission to Israel since the outbreak of the Iron Swords War on Oct
traveled to the country in December 2023 with high-profile Evangelical leaders
the group consisted of almost 50 ‘grassroots’ pastors
ministry leaders and their wives who came from 11 different states
is that not a single person that has signed up for this trip canceled… Because rockets and missiles started flying in
in the week before they were supposed to come,” said Rosenberg
accompanied the pastors as they toured the country and reflected on what has had the greatest impact on them
About half the group had never been to Israel before. They were grateful for The Joshua Fund initiative that took them on such a meaningful experience in its partnership with <a href="https://faithwins.org/">FAITH WINS</a>
a ministry run by Chad Connelly and his wife
“What led me to come to Israel during this time of war
It&#039;s the time they need us the most,” said Senior Minister Donald Eason from Metro Church of Christ in Michigan
who participated in the Solidarity Mission
who also serves as the president of C.U.R.E.
the Center for Urban Renewal and Education
explaind that he had attempted to visit Israel last year
“We were just grateful that we could come back at this time to show our support for the Israeli people
It&#039;s one thing to say it 5,000 miles away
the solidarity mission went straight from the airport to participate in a humanitarian aid event with Holocaust survivors
helps and serves the Jewish elderly survivors every month
located about six kilometers (less than four miles) from the Gaza border
“It is an opportunity to show love to people who don’t feel loved,” Rosenberg described the encounter
We tried to live the gospel in front of them.”
The Solidarity Mission also visited significant biblical sites
from which the Apostle Paul took the Gospel from Israel to the Roman world
where they met with Israel’s President Isaac Herzog
as well as former deputy prime minister of Israel
“He is one of the great heroes of the Jewish people who spent nine years in the Soviet gulag
was tortured by the KGB for being a human rights activist and a Jewish rights activist
He eventually was set free by the Soviet Union,” Rosenberg shared
the most memorable moments and interactions on the trip were with survivors of the Oct
They visited the site of the Nova Music Festival
where nearly 400 young Israelis were massacred by the terrorists
They also went to one of the most ravaged communities from that day
“I feel like the most significant moment on this trip has been Be’eri,” said senior pastor Jim Scudder
from Quentin Road Baptist Church in Illinois
“The reason is because it was such a devastating thing that happened to the community… We’re inside walking on the rubble
and you&#039;re hearing the crunch of glass and you&#039;re seeing shrapnel and bullet holes all over
and the heinous acts of Hamas occurred there.”
“It brought back to my mind how important it is to continue to pray for peace in this land and the salvation for all people
but to especially love and support the Jewish people,” he continued
he reflected on another powerful experience on the trip
“I feel like God has spoken in a powerful way at the Garden Tomb
Although we&#039;re not positive this is the exact spot where Jesus rose again
And I love the fact that we serve a risen Savior
Our faith is the only one that has an empty tomb.”  
When asked about their takeaways from the solidarity mission
other pastors in the group offered a range of responses
Pastor Dave Huizenga from Bridgewood Church
MN: “The connection of what is here on the land transforms how you speak of the word
Christ spoke about what was near him and used illustrations about everything he was looking at.”
Senior Minister Donald Eason from Metro Church of Christ in Michigan: “I already had a lot of energy for my love of Israel and God&#039;s chosen people
and now I just get to go back and share with my whole congregation and wherever that sends me.”
Pastor Dan Reehoff from Dayspring Church and Schools in Pewaukee
WI: “You can read about Jesus ministering in Capernaum or read about him walking on water
once you actually go to the Sea of Galilee and you say
this is what he did’ – It kind of makes the Bible come to life.” 
Pastor Matt Teis from Liberty Baptist Church in Las Vegas
NV: &quot;This experience will change me in my desire to come back to this place
to encourage others to be part of this place
but these are his people here in this country
And there is a great unity under the one God

After a magnificent 20-year tenure with Sony Interactive Entertainment
SVP of Global Partner Development and Relations
recently announced that he is bidding adieu at the end of 2025
Phil has been a stalwart and integral part of growing the PlayStation brand and
has worked tirelessly over the years to ensure all gamers enjoy a vibrant experience on a variety of PlayStation products.&nbsp;
We had the chance to talk with Phil to go over the highs
and moments of joy that have shaped Phil’s time with Sony Interactive Entertainment and the PlayStation brand.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SIE.Blog: Phil thanks for taking the time to speak with us today
You first started working with the PlayStation brand through your previous company
What is your recollection of that experience and what did you learn about Sony Computer Entertainment during that time
I remember I went to a PlayStation party in Chicago in early 1994
It turned out a few of my old colleagues from an earlier job were going to be the new executive team for SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment America)
So I was really early in hearing about PlayStation
and understanding the ambition of Ken Kutaragi (creator of the original PlayStation console
I think some people were skeptical that this would be as big as it turned out to be
Ken had pretty much nailed down what his early vision would evolve to become
That vision has led to our great success these past 30 years.&nbsp;
I was an outside contractor when we started Performance Marketing
We were kind of a “gun for hire” to manage sales out in the field
When the company moved on from those outside agency agreements
that&#8217;s when I joined the PlayStation team in April of 2006 as VP of Business
Development.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve been a part of every hardware launch
PlayStation Vita &#8211; all of them &#8211; since the very beginning.&nbsp;
SIE.blog: You touched on the anticipation of what the PlayStation brand would become
what is it about the PlayStation brand that has connected so well with gamers and entertainment fans over the years?&nbsp;
We&#8217;ve had a lot of lessons along the way and believe it or not
we were much more immature than you might imagine for our first decade.&nbsp;&nbsp;
and that was kind of a transitional moment for our whole company
PlayStation 3 helped us find our footing into future gaming generations
we had to understand why a connected world is so critical and how it can scale
we needed to remember to take care of developers and creators &#8211; help them and support them
those principles are still guiding PlayStation
Now PlayStation is a highly trusted and beloved brand all over the world.&nbsp;
PlayStation 4 gave us an opportunity to really redeem ourselves with the creators
and consumers came along with us for the ride
Fans loved us and their PlayStation 2 and while we might have lost some players with PlayStation 3
they all came back to play on the amazing PS4
The really major blessing of our growth has been and is our relationship with our community.&nbsp;
SIE.blog: What would you say you will miss the most about your role as leading Partner Relations and Development?&nbsp;
I think I&#8217;ll miss the ability to create benefits for the company
and for our community that keeps PlayStation going
I have relationships and friendships all over the world now with so many creators
our colleagues and I&#8217;ll miss that energy.&nbsp;
Maybe it&#8217;s just time to sail off into the sunset
Even though I still look like the fresh young face of PlayStation
I’m ready to move on to see as many beaches and golf courses as possible!&nbsp;
SIE.blog: Who is someone that has inspired you during your career
What really unlocked my passion for this role and the development of the Global Partner and Developer Relations (GPDR) team was the support of Andy House
Andy was our CEO and also led third-party relations
John Kodera came in and he taught me a kinder
very calm way to support the teams who we knew we had to have support from to be successful
This was John’s very nice way of helping me to understand that with my big personality
I&#8217;ll always remember his steady hand with us as we were bringing more scale to the company with PlayStation 4.&nbsp;
I&#8217;ve also considered Hideaki Nishino a good friend of mine for most of my years as a leader at Sony Interactive Entertainment
It really is incredible to see him progress to become our leader
and I think that he&#8217;s going to be an amazing CEO
I think this Nishino era is going to be really special.&nbsp;
SIE.blog: How does your team work together to identify great new franchises and titles
There are so many great games that come from seemingly out of nowhere
What’s in the “secret sauce” to make successful IP happen?&nbsp;&nbsp;
the Content Ventures team led by Christian Svensson
There&#8217;s nobody better in the world than Christian and Shawne Benson at finding hidden gems and nurturing up-and-coming companies that are probably off the radar for most of us
They get tons of support from the third-party account management team and the partner development team
who are often the very first points of contact.&nbsp;
[This team worked with] Annapurna Games very early on games like Stray
The same approach also led our support of Genshin Impact
Black Myth: Wukong and Stellar Blade for example
Our account teams are passionate and pioneering. We are spending a lot of time right now in expanding our global markets. We support our consumers and projects with all our teams in GPDR. There is so much creativity out there. From strategy to Esports to Developer Support, we are aligned around content and engagement. We recently started the<a href="https://sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog/mena-hero-project-vibrant-dynamic-unstoppable/"> Middle East North Africa Hero Project</a>
This compliments what we have started with our China Hero and India Hero projects
Our thinking is that we can excite a community about PlayStation if that community participates in the building of it
mostly through helping creators bring their games to market.&nbsp;
I didn&#8217;t appreciate the value of the IP when I first started
my job was more of a “lets-make-a-deal&#8221; and “the art or science of a transactional relationship” approach
I really didn&#8217;t understand the value of a strategic partnership around key IP and the health of our platform.&nbsp;&nbsp;
that&#8217;s when it all kind of clicked.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Learning how to manage a portfolio and create room for multiple IPs which will reach multiple different types of gamers is really important
I think the big lesson for me is this: our business role in GPDR is all about the IP and doing whatever we can to help remove friction for creators to bring their creations to consumers
Hopefully Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation can help facilitate that.&nbsp;
SIE.blog: Given the insight into the company that you’ve had
what do you expect from the future of PlayStation&nbsp;
I am extremely optimistic for PlayStation’s future
brightest and most passionate people in the world working at SIE
They are specialists in areas that need specific expertise
I think that as technology continues to evolve
will run faster and that gaming will be an even bigger part of our entertainment world.&nbsp;
What we have built is really like a ballet
It looks like it&#8217;s kind of effortless
It’s heavy lifting and we&#8217;re really good at it.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I&#8217;m very hopeful and very encouraged by the wind we have in our sails right now
We&#8217;ll end this year on a great note and next year all indicators are we&#8217;re going to have another fabulous year.&nbsp;
While there&#8217;s always room to improve processes
Sony Interactive Entertainment really has a bright
This is a “60 years and who the heck knows from there” story.&nbsp;

a 1974 graduate from the College of Health and Human Development and longtime supporter of Penn State Brandywine
whose giving and service across two generations of their family has benefited multiple units across the University
as the 2024 Fundraising Volunteers of the Year
couples or groups who demonstrate exceptional commitment and leadership in building philanthropic support for the University
The dual selection reflects Penn State’s ongoing commitment to honoring volunteerism across all of the University’s institutional constituencies
“David and Marjorie Rosenberg and the Moyer family have shown remarkable generosity in their support for scholarships
programming and infrastructure that advance the University’s mission to serve students
patients and communities,” said Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi
“They have distinguished themselves as leaders
rallying alumni and friends to champion volunteer projects and fundraising that elevate Penn State's impact
I am proud to recognize them as our Fundraising Volunteers of the Year
and truly grateful for the lasting impact of their efforts on Penn State.”
As a full-time philanthropist and president of the David and Marjorie Rosenberg Family Foundation
David has been deeply committed to volunteerism at Penn State Brandywine
and spearheaded initiatives to expand University services and resources for students
“David is grounded by a profound sense of social and civic responsibility
and he inspires those around him with his energy
passion and hands-on commitment to expanding student opportunities,” said Marilyn J
regional chancellor for Penn State Brandywine
“Not only did he lead the charge to create pathways for students to become socially responsible leaders and citizens
but he takes the time to personally connect with the campus community and understand the challenges they face in a granular way
he galvanizes others to be part of the solution
So many positive changes at Penn State Brandywine bear the mark of his influence
and I am proud to be able to celebrate his contributions with this well-deserved award.”
Born in New York and raised in Lower Bucks County 20 miles north of Philadelphia
Rosenberg was drawn to University Park by the sense of University spirit and camaraderie and his interest in Penn State football
he became a volunteer for the Dance Marathon
during its fledgling years and pledged Beta Sigma Rho (now Beta Sigma Beta)
He earned his bachelor’s degree in community development from the College of Health and Human Development in 1974
followed by his juris doctorate from Howard University in 1977
Rosenberg was a practicing lawyer for several years before joining two partners in purchasing a small environmental insurance company, <a href="https://www.psu.edu/news/invent-penn-state/story/innovator-environmental-insurance-featured-new-episode-dare-disrupt/">Environmental Compliance Services</a>
which he helped to convert from a 12-person agency to a 500-person agency with more than $200 million in annual written premiums
Rosenberg retired in 1999 and devoted himself full time to service and philanthropy
Penn State Brandywine became the focus of much of his volunteerism
“Penn State Brandywine really is a campus of opportunity
especially for students living in marginalized communities,” Rosenberg said
“About 30% of those who enroll at Brandywine are first-generation students
and 70% are working even as they carry a full course load
I was a working college student and assumed student loans
I see myself in the students attending Brandywine
It gives me a sense of extreme satisfaction to assist in their college journey and help alleviate some of their financial burdens.”
The vision and generosity of Rosenberg, along with his wife of 35 years, Marjorie, were the <a href="https://www.psu.edu/news/administration/story/couple-makes-estate-gift-center-ethics-and-civic-engagement">driving force</a> behind the creation of Penn State Brandywine’s <a href="https://www.brandywine.psu.edu/penn-state-brandywine/center-social-impact">Center for Social Impact</a>
The center engages students in nonprofit internships
volunteer opportunities with community partners
The Rosenbergs also established the David and Marjorie Rosenberg Trustee Scholarship and the Rosenberg Family Trustee Scholarship for students enrolled at Penn State Brandywine
as well as two scholarship endowments at University Park
Rosenberg served as chair of Penn State Brandywine’s development committee in the University’s most recent fundraising campaign
“A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence.” His efforts to spur donor engagement played a critical role in helping to exceed Brandywine’s $6.765 million goal three months ahead of schedule
Rosenberg continues to serve on the campus advisory board and is expected to chair Brandywine’s development committee for the next fundraising campaign
Apart from his volunteer activities at Penn State
Rosenberg has served on many regional organizations’ boards and committees
including the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Foundation Board of Advisors and Special Olympics of Pennsylvania
Andrew graduated from Penn State in 2018 with a degree in meteorology
David and Marjorie are also grandparents of Brynlee and Beckham
“Margie and I started thinking about philanthropy and service as we began to raise a family,” Rosenberg said
“We wanted to teach them the value of giving and making the world a better place
We wanted to be proactive in building a community of caring
I’m proud of our accomplishments and honored to be part of the Brandywine community.” 
The Moyer family’s giving across generations has earned them the distinction of being the first family in Penn State’s history to be recognized as Fundraising Volunteers of the Year
and sons-in-law Lance Tavana and Greg Moyer
have played a crucial role in mobilizing volunteerism in service of building a culture of philanthropy at the University
“The Moyer family is truly one-of-kind,” said Karen Kim
“Their constellation of giving priorities reflects their dynamic commitment to fighting childhood cancer
and building a pipeline of excellence for promising physicians
the Moyer family exemplifies how the spirit of generosity can travel from one generation to the next
and how the ripple effects of that philanthropic leadership can touch so many lives.”
the Moyers have committed support to Four Diamonds to advance pediatric care research
They also have endowed three scholarships at Penn State’s College of Medicine
one focused on enhancing educational opportunity for promising future physicians
and two equity-focused scholarships geared toward easing the financial burden on students who contribute to the diversity of the student body
Roger was the first member of his family to attend college
enrolling at the University Park campus in 1966
he became a member of Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity and also was admitted to membership in the Beta Gamma Sigma business honor society
But even as many of his peers were focused on sports and other things
Roger was adjusting to service in the Air Force ROTC
“Both of my parents were Navy veterans who met and served during World War II,” said Roger Moyer
“When you come out of that tradition of sacrifice
you feel an obligation to serve and protect your community
Our family has found that same tradition of service at Penn State
meaning that supporting students and faculty isn’t just a way of helping individuals in isolation but of lifting up a whole network of Penn Staters who care about and look out for each other.”
Drawn to the leadership dimension of the Air Force ROTC program
Roger ended up team teaching several ROTC classes during his junior and senior years
When he entered active duty at a time when many senior officers were engaged in combat zones in Southeast Asia
as a new junior officer he was assigned the position of a squadron commander and executive officer who oversaw more than 600 airmen
Roger graduated in 1970 with a degree in finance
and upon completing his two years of military service
he went on to earn his MBA from Southern Illinois University and built a successful career in the banking industry — one that lasted until 2008
when he retired as a regional president of PNC Financial Services
Roger scaled up his involvement at Penn State
including as a member of the campaign executive committee for “A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence,” and as chair of the Volunteer Engagement Committee
He recently accepted a role as chair for Penn State Health and the College of Medicine in the University’s new fundraising campaign
who was by then already two years into her career as a registered nurse
Grace would spend the first half of her career as a coronary intensive care nurse and the latter half as a supervisor in a nursing home
“I went from keeping people alive to helping them die with dignity,” said Grace
“It gave me a special appreciation for the range of ways that people need care
my brother was born with bilateral club feet
and growing up alongside a sibling with a disability
you see firsthand the importance of pediatric care
All these experiences helped shape our philanthropic priorities at Penn State as we thought about how to equip doctors and nurses with the expertise and disposition to deliver high-quality health care.”
In addition to their support for Penn State
Roger and Grace modeled a commitment to service and philanthropy by giving their time and financial resources to many organizations
such as their church and the United Way of Lancaster
Roger was awarded the Clara Barton Honor Award
a 1996 graduate of the College of Health and Human Development
first stumbled upon THON as a middle school student attending a gymnastics competition at University Park
She went on to serve as chapter president and THON co-chair for her sorority
and just over a decade later she joined the Four Diamonds Advisory Board as a strategist in its mission to conquer childhood cancer
After successful stints in college athletics and senior university administration
for which she earned a master’s degree in education from the University of Virginia
Jennifer is now an executive coach and leadership development consultant for the firm she founded in 2013
a 2004 graduate of Temple University’s School of Medicine and the current chief of plastic surgery at the Medical University of South Carolina
shares Jennifer’s commitment to improving therapies for children living with pediatric cancer
Roger and Grace’s younger daughter Elizabeth
who graduated in 2000 from Penn State and majored in business management
also was an officer and member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority and danced in THON in her junior year
where she met children facing cancer who inspired her ongoing support for Four Diamonds
she is managing director at EMPOWER Retirement
the second largest retirement services provider in the United States
and she is in her second year of service on the Four Diamonds Advisory Board
holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA
and works in information risk management at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia
Greg is an avid Penn State sports fan and actively supports the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club
In addition to their collective investment to support cancer research and scholarships
the Moyer family also has directed support to the Smeal College of Business
and the College of Health and Human Development
The Moyers also recently established an Educational Equity Scholarship benefiting undergraduates at University Park
the couple was inducted into the giving society housed within the Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity known as the James B
Roger and Grace Moyer were welcomed into the Mount Nittany Society and the Atherton Society
Roger has been awarded a doctor of public service from Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster in 2010 and was designated an honorary alumnus of the college in 2019
“Everyone in our family recognizes that Penn State has played a critical role in propelling us forward into meaningful lives and careers,” said Grace
“We feel like it’s so important to give back
but also to spread the idea that is really the hallmark of THON: people coming together to help people in need

Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed after being convicted as Soviet spies in a sensational Cold War espionage case
a recently declassified document is seen as the strongest evidence yet of Ethel’s innocence
he’s being asked to exonerate her and right a historic wrong
John Yang speaks with the Rosenbergs’ younger son
Notice: Transcripts are machine and human generated and lightly edited for accuracy
he's been exercising his presidential clemency powers
he commuted nearly 2,500 nonviolent drug offenders sentences
an important step toward righting historic wrongs
He's also being asked to right what some people see as another historic wrong and exonerate Ethel Rosenberg
were executed in 1953 after being convicted as Soviet spies in a sensational atomic espionage case at the height of the Cold War Red Scare
While historians regard Julius Rosenberg as a Soviet spy
his wife's role has been debated for years
And a document declassified last year is seen as the strongest evidence yet of her innocence
Robert Meeropol is the younger son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
He and his brother Michael have been working for decades to clear their mother's name
considered to be the heroic spy catcher who broke the Soviet codes
what he said in this memo about my mother was that she knew about her husband's work
he described her husband's work that my father
So what we have here is a definitive pronouncement by the chief decryptor at the time of my mother's arrest that she was not a spy
And what's remarkable about this document is it dovetails with earlier work that Meredith Gardner did in decrypting what are called the Venona transcriptions of Soviet spy cables in which it was noted that the KGB gave all of its agents code names
and where does that process stand as he is about to leave office
we would like President Biden to apologize for the wrongful conviction and execution of my mother
But the reality is whether you're going to call it an exoneration or a pardon or an apology
that he takes to show that my mother was wrongfully executed would be a remarkable step in the right direction
And we know that the pardon office has our material
So we're kind of sitting on edge in the last few days of Biden's administration
knowing that we might not hear anything until almost the last minute
I should note that there have been historians who read that document in other ways
Mark Kramer directs Harvard's "Cold War Studies Project." He told PBS News the declassified Soviet and U.S
documents make clear that the August 1951 document
that's the document we're Talking about changes nothing
The Rosenbergs were convicted of conspiring to commit espionage
and both of them were indeed guilty of that crime
but the guilty verdict was fully justified
this is a historian who's made his career claiming that Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were both guilty spies
And when you have a definitive statement that comes out like this from the chief decryptor that says
it's difficult for a lot of people that they were wrong
particularly when it's based on their careers
it's kind of embarrassing because the reality is what this historian is saying is that he knows better than the KGB who is the KGB agent
this is not the first time or first evidence to suggest your mother's innocence
This particular memo is kind of like the final piece of a jigsaw puzzle that my brother and I have been putting together for 50 years
We filed our first Freedom of Information Act lawsuit in the mid-1970s
and one of the first set of documents we got were Justice Department and FBI documents saying the case against Ethel Rosenberg was weak
but we should arrest her so we can use her as a
the only people who testified against my mother
and it turns out that they swore the opposite before the grand jury
David Greenglass said he never even talked to my mother about spying
So we know that the only evidence presented against her was by proven perjurers
said she was a full-fledged participant in this crime
And yet a mother of two young children ends up executed for something that she didn't do
You and your brother were quite young when your parents were arrested
I was three at the time of my parents arrest
so I don't really have many specific memories of that
Most of my memories come from visiting them in prison
They wanted me to think things were normal and I wanted them to be normal
What would a presidential apology mean to you and your brother
People could understand why the children of people convicted of this kind of crime would try to clear their names for personal reasons
The reason this travesty occurred and my mother was wrongfully executed was because of the politicization of the Justice Department and the American judicial system during the Great Red Scare of the early 1950s
We now face a very similar situation where the Justice Department and the rule of law are under threat
So this couldn't be more timely to show how the judicial process can be abused
It will help to prevent it from happening in the future

8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
ending his three-decade tenure at the head of the alumni magazine
introducing online content in addition to its bimonthly print issues
He instituted the magazine’s first full-time staff art director — helping professionalize the design of its print edition — and worked to solicit regular contributions from Harvard faculty
Rosenberg also increased Harvard Magazine’s coverage of art and performance
which includes artist profiles and book reviews
who has served as Harvard Magazine’s managing editor since 1999
praised the changes he witnessed under Rosenberg
describing his editing as “incredibly skilled.”
“He’s particularly terrific at structural reorganization of texts that sometimes aren’t as felicitous as they should be when they first come in,” Shaw said
a member of the Harvard Magazine Board of Directors and the executive editor of the Columbia Journalism Review
is leading the search for Rosenberg’s successor
wrote in an emailed statement that the search committee is looking for “a respected journalist” and “digital innovator” who will “develop new storytelling formats
Chan participated in Harvard Magazine’s Ledecky Fellowship
a yearlong program that allows undergraduates to write for the magazine
He praised Rosenberg’s mentorship during the program
“John offered regular feedback,” Chan wrote
someone who tries to amplify the writer’s voice
His gentle style and his encouragement of everyone’s creativity made him a pleasure to work with.”
Rosenberg said he saw Harvard Magazine’s coverage as a way to draw attention back to the “core academic work” happening at the University
“We’re giving people a sabbatical back from their lives to the University
but we’re also giving them a sort of free higher education,” he said
makes it unique — and allows it to cover the University more critically
“We’re doing the best we can to inform and engage and entertain readers,” he said
‘Does it promote this?’ or ‘Does it help raise money for that?’ It’s whether readers want to know — and how do they want to know it.”
Chan wrote that Rosenberg had maintained a decades-long commitment to independence from the University
“The magazine’s editorial independence was on full display during two tumultuous periods associated with the resignations of two university presidents
Summers in 2006 and Claudine Gay earlier this year,” Chan wrote
said he is excited to see how the publication evolves under its next leader
“It’ll be wonderful to have some fresh perspectives on the University and on the work that we do,” Shaw said
“And I think we’re all looking forward to seeing what that change will be.”

Rosenberg and her husband Julius were charged with sharing nuclear secrets with the Soviet Union and executed on June 19
A federal pardon or exoneration would be &#8220;the right thing to do,&#8221; says Massachusetts Congressmember Jim McGovern
who is part of an effort led by the Rosenbergs&#8217; son Robert Meeropol &#8220;to get history right.&#8221; Ethel Rosenberg &#8220;was framed,&#8221; says Meeropol
AMY GOODMAN: We&#8217;re talking with Massachusetts Congressmember Jim McGovern
who&#8217;s also part of a last-ditch appeal for President Biden to posthumously exonerate Ethel Rosenberg
conspiring to give them to the Soviet Union
Edgar Hoover accused the couple of committing the crime of the century
This is a clip of the newscast after the Rosenbergs&#8217; execution
NEWSREEL NARRATOR: Someone had passed America&#8217;s atomic bomb secrets to Russia
This was an undisputed fact that the whole world knew
The federal government had laid the crime at the doorstep of two native New Yorkers
they both protested their innocence of the theft
Kaufman found the pair guilty as charged and sentenced them to death in the electric chair to pay for their crime of treason
AMY GOODMAN: But Congressmember McGovern and others are citing a newly released classified document that shows the National Security Agency knew Ethel Rosenberg was not a spy and that the government executed her anyway
Congressmember Jim McGovern is with us now to discuss this
the younger son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg
He was 6 years old at the time of their execution
He&#8217;s author of the autobiography An Execution in the Family: One Son&#8217;s Journey
He&#8217;s also founder and executive director of the Rosenberg Fund for Children
Let&#8217;s begin with Robert in this call for the exoneration of your mother
AMY GOODMAN: Explain exactly what this memo shows and how important this is to you
and with now the help of the Rosenberg Fund for Children
to get the government&#8217;s own material out
and we&#8217;ve collected bits and pieces along the way
And we&#8217;ve shown that the only evidence against Ethel presented at the trial was perjured testimony
We&#8217;ve shown that prosecutorial documents illustrate that even the government said the case against Ethel was weak
And when the Soviet code was broken and the materials were released in 1995
we discovered that all of the KGB agents were given code names
and it convinced us that we could separate my mother from my father
because the same materials showed that while he wasn&#8217;t engaged in atomic espionage
he was engaged in espionage during World War II
and we began to look at my mother&#8217;s case separately
And we didn&#8217;t find — we had a lot of evidence that showed that she was framed and that she wasn&#8217;t guilty
we can&#39;t wait to get the FBI file where J
released a memo in which the chief decrypter
This is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle
And that is why we&#8217;re calling on President Biden
to exonerate my mother by declaring her conviction and execution wrongful
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the role of Roy Cohn
one of the lawyers who prosecuted your parents
to basically stick a needle in Roy Trump&#8217;s — I mean
because Roy Cohn was one of the engineers of my mother&#8217;s execution
He was the one who got David and Ruth Greenglass to change their story to implicate my mother
That&#8217;s one of the amazing things about having all these files
It&#8217;s not what we claim; it&#8217;s what the government has
&#8220;a full-fledged partner in this crime.&#8221; And now we find out that both the KGB and the NSA didn&#8217;t consider her a spy
And yet she gets executed as a master atomic spy
AMY GOODMAN: Congressmember Jim McGovern, why have you signed on to this effort? Why do you think it&#8217;s good for the United States?
AMY GOODMAN: I want to thank Robby Meeropol for joining us, the younger son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, joining us from Northampton, Massachusetts.
