Left’s Big Lie: Trump Trapped!

Barbara Boyd argues that media narratives about Donald Trump being trapped by impeachment, high prices, and a new Iran war are false, and claims the administration has launched an “accountability” and economic push.

She highlights a Justice Department indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for fraud, alleging the SPLC smeared conservatives while secretly funding racist groups and paying an informant involved in planning the 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” event. FBI Director Kash Patel cut ties with the SPLC and ADL, while the IRS is banning fiscal sponsorships that hide donors.

Boyd also covers five Defense Production Act energy executive orders to rapidly expand U.S. grid and fuel infrastructure to drive prices down, plus Regeneron joining “most favored nation” drug pricing and reshoring. Finally, she cites Scott Bessent’s statements on expanding dollar swap lines to Gulf and Asian allies, framing this as outflanking London-backed alternatives to the dollar.

Trump’s Warning To Britain

Susan Kokinda argues that recent U.S. actions framed as confronting Iran are actually aimed at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s April 16 meeting with UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, highlighting the on-record “Economic Fury” campaign and U.S. tracking of financial flows to Iran that allegedly lead to London.

The episode shows Trump is ending a decades-old “world extortion” model tied to the Strait of Hormuz, Lloyd’s war-risk insurance, and London’s commodity pricing power (gold, metals, oil benchmarks). It also points to an Israeli–Lebanon ceasefire and Trump prohibiting Israeli strikes, arguing this removes Netanyahu’s leverage built on a perpetual Iran threat.

With London’s pricing nodes shifting toward New York and the “special relationship” weakening, the Hudson Institute is said to be pinning hopes on a King Charles visit to the U.S.  Here’s more from Promethean Updates.

Trump’s Surgical Masterstrike

President Donald Trump’s surgical masterstroke — a strategic aerial bombing of military sites on Kharg Island — just ended Iran’s $10 trillion terror premium. The structure needed to keep Iran’s oil industry afloat was left intact, but all military protection was stripped away.

The tattered regime will not be able to continue the war in any meaningful way. Now, it’s just a matter of how long the clean-up will take. Here’s more from Barbara Boyd at Promethean Updates.

We’ve Pulled A Chinese Stunt!

The Iranians have their Navy and Air Force whipped out, so they’re now resorted to their final “secret” weapon to hold the United States at bay: They are launching Shahed-136 drones to ignite fires on board oil shipping vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Only one problem? We appear to have pulled the same ruse as the Chinese, namely, we’re turning Iran’s own technology against them.

It’s not clear if we reverse engineered their drones or if we simply captured one of their drone weapon manufacturing factories, and have made off with the whole warehouse. But the United States is now using drones to strike Iranian targets with the goal of clearing a pathway along the Strait of Hormuz.

Once that occurs, says U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, U.S. naval vessels — perhaps joined by an international fleet — will accompany ships though the inlet, allowing for the safe transport of oil to resume. There won’t be a huge, traditional ground force, although there’s talk of squadrons of expeditionary Marines patrolling the shorelines. Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.

 

 

Will ICE Man Polling Stations?

The [Deep State] is panicking. They are saying the quiet part out loud and they are suing the Trump administration to find out if ICE will be at the voting centers.

Trump’s strategy is not to bomb Iran into dust but to tactically disarm the regime to take control of their assets like Kharg and the Straight of Hormuz. Once this happen, Iran’s economy begins to tank.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has put everything in motion. Has Trump already signaled that mission is a success and that the people will demand the end to the war? Most likely yes. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Keep Calm: Tariffs Remain On!

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the tariffs that President Donald Trump had been imposing to try to balance out foreign trade, but not everyone thinks this spells doom for the U.S. economy. Here, And We Know explains how Trump has a secondary plan up his sleeve, ready to roll out now that the Justices have shown their hands.

Only three of the Justices approved the original Trump tariffs — Justice Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavenaugh. Those voting against him included the three Democratic appointees as well as Chief Justice John Roberts and the two other Republicans appointed by Trump in his first term — Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. How will Trump get around these opponents? Is there a way to bypass such an unresponsive Court?

And We Now lays out the options, and also covers: Negotiating from strength and the details of IEEPA law. This is so-called International Economic Emergencies Power Act, allowing the President to regulate international commerce during periods of a declared national emergency.

Re-Clay Min Her Tam!

The repulsive Claymation congresswoman Maxine Waters is re-clay min  her tam. Here’s more from McAllister TV.

The Lord Is Leading Us All

A Congressional hearing with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent turns crazy, as the leftist Democrats turn whack-a-doodle. Unsuprisingly, the biggest nutjob of the bunch was the 87-year-old U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters. She couldn’t stomach Bessent’s testimony on inflation, declaring outright, “Can you shut him up?” Someone should have shut that old bat up years ago. She is a walking testimony on why we need term limits for Congress!

As the Democrats kept up their hypochondria and screaming, the American public has awaken to the shocking truths buried in the long-suppressed Jeffrey Epstein files. These are monsters we’re dealing with — not only political adversaries, but outright Satanist pedophiles and the unequivocal scum of the Earth.

Are Georgia arrests coming after the FBI’s raid on the Atlanta elections records center? It certainly appears there will be much more coming in that volatile story. In the meantime, continue to pray! Here’s more from And We Know.

TPU Fraud Out Of Control

I believe what is going on at Turning Point USA is so much worse than anything I have talked about so far.

It is so bad that it would implicate the entire leadership at Turning Point, and it has to do with ballot harvesting. Here’s more from Wolves and Finance.

Here, Viva Frei answers the charges leveled by Wolves and Finance. We figured those charges were serious enough to warrant carrying a rebuttal.

Otherwise, Viva Frei deals with New York’s refusal to take federal aid related to Winter Storm Fern, presumably out of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s fears about ICE. Also covered: ICE Director Tom Homan traveling to Minneapolis in an effort to reason with Gov. Tim Walz and the case of Aaron Spencer, an Arkansas man facing murder charges after killing a child pervert who had been accused of molesting Spencer’s 14-year-old daughter.

Trump Unleashed In Davos!

U.S. President Donald Trump  goes right into the heart of the beast — the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland — to impress upon the Europeans that they must out a deal with the United States over Greenland. It doesn’t necessarily mean Greenland becomes a U.S. territory.

It could simply mean housing elements of the Golden Dome, the U.S. missile defense system that Trump plans to use to protect against any Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) fired from Russia against Washington D.C.  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spells out varied options.

Trump highlighted all that the United States has done to protect Europe, ranging from stationing American troops in Germany to aiding the European Union’s campaign to safeguard the Ukraine. But he also rattled a stick, warning of tariffs and sterner measures if the security concerns of the United States go unaddressed.

Funny how now that the defense issue at hand involves North American, the Europeans aren’t so cooperative as they always expected from us. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.

Mind you, not all of the Europeans are hardened globalists or absolute turncoats. There are leaders of individual nations taking a more open approach.

Here, commentator Steve Turley discusses the arguments of Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. She said European and North American countries need to frame “a coordinated presence” in the Arctic region to prevent tensions and interference “from other actors.”

As the evening drew to a close, details leaked on a major new deal that will preserve Greenland’s independent status as well as its ties to Denmark and Europe, but there will apparently be provisions to allow the United States to proceed with the Golden Dome.

The United States will also employ its expertise with mining to help Greenland develop its rare earth minerals. This will provide for a new source of these minerals to be obtained without bending the knee to Communist China or Russia.

This looks like a classic example of The Art of the Deal. Trump wanted changes, but had no desire to invade Greenland or seize it as territory. He simply wanted this stretch of North America to reflect some North American sensibilities and needs. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.
