House Passes Bill to Stop ‘Rogue’ and ‘Activist’ Judges Blocking President Trump’s Agenda

/1 Comment/in , /by

The House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday to limit federal district judges’ ability to affect Trump administration policies on a national scale.

The No Rogue Rulings Act, led by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., passed the House and limits district courts’ power to issue U.S.-wide injunctions, instead forcing them to focus their scope on the parties directly affected in most cases.

All but one Republican lawmaker voted for the bill, which passed 219 to 213. No Democrats voted in favor.

The Trump administration has faced more than 15 nationwide injunctions since the Republican commander-in-chief took office, targeting a wide range of President Donald Trump’s policies, from birthright citizenship reform to anti-diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

Issa himself was confident the bill would pass, telling Fox News Digital on Tuesday morning, “We’ve got the votes.” (Read more from “House Passes Bill to Stop ‘Rogue’ and ‘Activist’ Judges Blocking President Trump’s Agenda” HERE)

Dow Surges 2,600 as Stocks Soar After Trump Pauses Some Tariffs

/0 Comments/in , /by

Trump said he would temporarily back off on most of his global tariffs, as investors had so desperately hoped he would.

The S&P 500 was up 8% in afternoon trading and heading toward one of its best days in decades. It had been down earlier in the morning amid worries about whether Trump’s trade war would drag the global economy into a recession. But then came the posting on social media from Trump that investors worldwide had been waiting and wishing for.

“I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE,” Trump said, after recognizing the more than 75 countries that he said have been negotiating on trade and had not retaliated against his latest increase in tariffs. (Read more from “Dow Surges 2,600 as Stocks Soar After Trump Pauses Some Tariffs” HERE)

Trump’s Reality-Driven U-Turn

/2 Comments/in , /by

. . .Last week, President Trump dropped an economic neutron bomb by declaring tariffs on virtually every country on the planet – tariffs based not on reciprocal tariff rates, but on trade deficits. After an initial stock dump of approximately 10% and then days of the markets bouncing up and down like a hyperactive corgi, President Trump finally announced that he would be undoing his threatened tariff regime with regard to our allies.

In a statement posted to TruthSocial, he said:

Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable.

Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This was reality setting in, and President Trump respecting it. As I wrote last week, “Now, Trump is unlikely to carry his policies to their full fruition if markets respond as expected. He is too canny a politician for that.”

Pete Hegseth Says Panama Accepted Agreement on Warship Canal Passage After China Accused the U.S. of ‘Blackmail’

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said that the nation of Panama agreed to allow warship passage through the canal after Chinese officials accused the U.S. of trying to use blackmail to further its interests.

Hegseth said that the two nations had signed a memorandum of understanding to allow U.S. warships to pass through the canal without paying a toll. The agreement for security cooperation also includes auxiliary vessels.

When asked about the accusation, Hegseth fired back at China.

“I don’t know anything about blackmail,” he responded, “but I do know about strength, peace through strength, and deterrence.”

On Wednesday a Chinese official had more fiery rhetoric against the U.S. as a trade war escalated between President Donald Trump and the communist-governed nation.

“Everyone knows who wants to control the Panama Canal,” said ministry spokesperson Lin Jian to reporters. “The U.S. side should take a look in the mirror to see who really threatens the sovereignty, security, and development of other countries.” (Read more from “Pete Hegseth Says Panama Accepted Agreement on Warship Canal Passage After China Accused the U.S. of ‘Blackmail’” HERE)

How China Has Amped up Its Factories and Is Threatening to Crush U.S. Industry With a New ‘Tsunami’ of Cheap Products

/1 Comment/in , /by

A $1.9 trillion “tsunami” is headed for American industry — and it’s coming from China.

The Communist country of 1.3 billion people has shifted that much cash into amping up its factories in just four years in an effort to overwhelm manufacturers around the world with an influx of cheap goods.

President Trump’s 125% tariff on all Chinese imports into the US — which he announced Wednesday as he paused steep duties on most other countries — is actually just the latest protective measure against China.

The European Union, Brazil, Mexico and Thailand have either imposed new tariffs in the last few months, or are considering such measures to protect their own industries from Chinese imports.

“The tsunami is coming for everyone,” said Katherine Tai, trade representative for former President Joe Biden, told The New York Times. (Read more from “How China Has Amped up Its Factories and Is Threatening to Crush U.S. Industry With a New ‘Tsunami’ of Cheap Products” HERE)

Kennedy Center Breaks All-Time Attendance Record for a Public Event After Trump Takeover

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Kennedy Center broke an all-time attendance record for a public event in March despite boycotts from Democrats since President Trump’s takeover.

This past March , the Kennedy Center’s “EARTH to SPACE: Arts Breaking the Sky” fireworks show saw over 11,000 attendees – a new record for a public event, per an exclusive from the Daily Caller:

The history-making moment was celebrated amid a flurry of criticism from liberals about President Donald Trump’s takeover of the entertainment facility. Critics voiced concerns about Trump’s understanding and appreciation for the arts when he took control of the Kennedy Center. However, attendance numbers have told a different story. With a focus on shifting away from politically-charged programming, the facility experienced tremendous success with a widely-attended fireworks show.

A Kennedy Center representative noted that 76% of all attendees at the fireworks show had never stepped foot in the venue before. The event was open to the public, with free first-come, first-served tickets available on the Kennedy Center website.

Visitors took in the show on the 360-degree rooftop terrace and flocked to the riverwalk to take in the magic of art as the fireworks filled the skies above the Potomac River. The first 800 visitors were treated to a VIP experience by having the opportunity to send an individual firework into the sky through the cAITM — Cai Guo-Qiang’s custom AI model — web interface.

Even Before Tariff Relief, Global Bond Investors Rallied Behind Trump’s Trade Push

/0 Comments/in , /by

For the past week, President Trump has been urging calm — and with good reason. Far from chaos, the financial reaction to his tariff announcement has revealed something far more profound: the world still wants to do business with America, and Trump is calling the shots.

“I know what the hell I’m doing,” the president told Republicans on Tuesday, shrugging off media doomsaying and elite panic. “BE COOL!” he posted on Truth Social the next morning. “Everything is going to work out well.”

At 9:37 a.m. Wednesday, Trump doubled down, posting: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!”

He was right.

The market bounce came swiftly. Although President Trump’s announcement that some of the tariffs would be paused for 90 days got all the attention, the real fireworks began several minutes earlier, when the U.S. Treasury held its much-anticipated 10-year bond auction. Instead of panic or retreat, the auction showed overwhelming demand. Indirect buyers — including foreign central banks — lined up to purchase U.S. government debt.

In other words, far from turning against America, the world was signing up to support it. (Read more from “Even Before Tariff Relief, Global Bond Investors Rallied Behind Trump’s Trade Push” HERE)

Kash Drops Trans School Shooter’s Manifesto—Now We Know Why They Buried It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

There’s no shortage of unsolved mysteries when it comes to our seedy government and intel agencies. The Epstein files are the big one—still locked up tight, and who knows if we’ll ever get the truth, right? But beyond the obvious coverups, there have been plenty of smaller ones, the kind the fake news media and the Left quietly sweep under the rug hoping nobody notices. One of those is the mass shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, carried out by a violent, mentally ill trans shooter. Right after the attack, many called it a hate crime against Christians—but the media downplayed it, local officials brushed it off, and the White House even tried to spin the shooter as the real victim. . .

Now, thanks to our new FBI Director Kash Patel, we’re finally getting a look at what they tried so hard to bury. Kash just released over 1,000 pages of the trans school shooter’s writings to Megyn Kelly and Congress—and what’s inside is absolutely bone-chilling.

The manifesto, which was written by trans mass shooter Audrey Hale, confirms what we already figured: this was a radical, mentally unhinged leftist who openly hated white people, Christians, America, and her own body. The FBI and Nashville PD conveniently left this out of their report. Why would they do that? Because it didn’t fit their “trans are victims” narrative.

In the pages, Hale described herself as a “violent extremist” obsessed with hatred, destruction, and death. Her writings included lines like:

“Kill all the white kids. Kill my own race.”
“Female pronouns make me feel like I wanna die.”
“I have to kill so I can be remembered in the most horrific way possible.”

These aren’t just random ramblings. They reflect the growing radicalism within the trans movement—a movement that’s riddled with mental illness and embraces liberals who treat violence like virtue and mental instability as an identity.

Elon Musk ‘Starting to Think’ Chuck Schumer Is Getting Rich Through Government Fraud

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s leader of DOGE, is now going to war with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, openly speculating the New York Democrat could be the recipient of “a piece of the action” through government fraud.

It started Monday evening, as Schumer launched an online attack in which he alleged the president “has unleashed chaos” on the nation:

Trump has unleashed chaos on America

—His tariffs hit families with largest tax hike in more than 50 years
—DOGE is sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
—The market is having its worst 3 days since COVID

And Congressional Republicans are going along with it all so they can cut taxes for billionaires.

Early Tuesday, Musk responded by saying: “Chuck, I’m starting to think you’re getting a piece of the action with the government fraud. But no, that couldn’t possibly be the reason, could it? …”

Federal Judge Orders White House to Lift Ban on AP

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled it was unconstitutional for the White House to bar the Associated Press from Oval Office events.

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden said the move violated the First Amendment.

“The Government offers no other plausible explanation for its treatment of the AP. The Constitution forbids viewpoint discrimination, even in a nonpublic forum like the Oval Office,” wrote McFadden, a Trump appointee.

“Under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists—be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere—it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints,” he continued. “The Constitution requires no less.”
