That, pretty much sums up Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s views on the new round of trade tariffs being imposed by the administration of President Donald Trump. Wall Street has enjoyed bumper profits, but Main Street has suffered over the past 20 years, particularly as imports from Communist China has flooded the marketplace.
Now, the United States will begin to rebuild its industrial and manufacturing industries, focusing on those industries that have been shown to have supply-side problems. Those include pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, steel and ship building, all of which raise flags as national security issues.
Here, Bessent talks over the tariffs with Tucker Carlson.
President Donald Trump’s deportations go to the U.S. Supreme Court. Will the justices uphold President Trump in using the 1798 Alien and Sedition Act to deport criminal aliens? Or will the “justices” side with the corrupt leftist U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg?
Trump does win one victory on an appeal, defeating Cathy A. Harris who had been let go from the Merit Systems Protection Board. She had run afoul of the new Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Meanwhile, Alina Habba has been sworn in as U.S. attorney for New Jersey, and Fani Willis is back in the news, still scrambling to establish some credibility! Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
Hampton Dellinger, the fired Special Counsel from the Department of Treasury, has caved. He will no longer will press his claims to remain on the job.
Dellinger had been one of the first officials that newly appointed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent targeted for expulsion.
Also, ActBlue, the funding mechanism frequently used by liberals and Democratic candidates, appears to be in some deep trouble. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.
President Donald Trump is appealing the maze of verdicts handed down by obstructionist leftist judges. Most of these federal judges were appointees of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Some already are being proven to have relatives — say, daughters or sons — working in federal agencies that Trump is seeking to trim or streamline. So the stench of corruption overhangs this dubious process.
How do we corral these judges? Can they be impeached? Are their less difficult ways to remove them the process?
How will Trump fight them? What can the U.S. Congress do to help him out? Here’s more from Robert Gouveia.
Former White House counsel Norm Eisen assails the Trump administration’s attempts to dismantle some programs and agencies. Appearing on “CUOMO,” he says neither the president nor his emissaries have that kind of unilateral power.
Eisen, who originally worked as deputy counsel for Barack Obama, more recently served as an appointed consultant for the House Judiciary Committee spearheading the first House impeachment charges against President Donald Trump. He is behind the “lawfare” tactics that Democrats have used to subvert the will of the majority of Americans.
Their goal is to try to prevent the exposure of gross corruption, fraud and waste, as well as to stall the release of more damaging details about Jeffrey Epstein’s vile Caribbean resort as well as the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
In short, if you hear his name, you should be sure to spit on the ground. Do not believe a single word this political hack says. Do not follow his advice. Let the Democrats keep listening to him because it will surely lead them down a path from which they will never recover. Here’s more from the Chris Cuomo show “Cuomo” on News Nation.
This past Saturday, at 1AM, in the DEAD OF NIGHT, a Federal Judge by the name of Paul Engelmayer, a judge from the U.S. District Court of southern New York, issued a temporary restraining order preventing anyone from auditing the Treasury Department database—including the Treasury Secretary himself!
We are all too familiar with the Progressive Left making political use of friendly Federal judges to hand out nationwide injunctions when they lack the legislative power to assert their will. It seems there’s always a helpful Hawai’ian judge when the Progressive Left needs one.
The question is, what to do about these unelected judges with supposedly lifetime appointments who seem determined to act as though they possess greater Executive Branch authority than does the elected President. Impeachment is always an option, but it’s a heavy burden—requiring a full two-thirds of the Senate.
That super-majority is a stretch under the most egregious of circumstances, and highly unlikely today. There is, however, an easier way to remove an overreaching judge from the bench. Here’s more from Andrew Branca on The Law of Self-Defense.
U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, representing the Southern District of New York, bowed to Democrats on Friday night, placing a temporary restraining order (TRO) that keeps Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Elon Musk, and his DOGE team from evaluating payments at the Treasury Department.
Who brought the suit? New York Attorney General Letitia James and 17 other Democrat AGs—Doing all they can to keep the fraud and waste in place. As we all know by now, the Democrats love corruption. They wallow in it. Here’s more from Lori Colley.
