Supreme Court Rules Trump Admin Must ‘Facilitate’ Return of Wrongfully Deported Maryland Man

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the Trump administration must “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the wrongfully deported Maryland man, to the US, but scrapped the deadline set by a lower court for his homecoming.

In a unanimous decision, the high court left part of Biden-appointed Maryland District Court Judge Paula Xinis’ order in effect but remanded the case back to her for clarification on exactly how the government should “effectuate” his release from a notorious El Salvador mega-prison.

The justices noted that the Trump administration’s emergency request to stay Xinis’ April 7 deadline for Abrego Garcia’s return is “effectively granted” because the deadline already passed.

Abrego Garcia, whom the Trump administration suspects of being a member of the ruthless MS-13 gang, has been held at the brutal Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT) in El Salvador since last month.

His deportation was acknowledged by the Trump administration to have been “illegal” because he was “subject to a withholding order forbidding his removal to El Salvador,” according to the high court.

Amazon CEO Warns Americans Cheap Prices of Everyday Goods Could Be a Thing of the Past

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy gave a warning to wallet-wary Americans in the wake of President Trump’s tariff agenda — saying the everything site many have come to rely on may have to up prices on common items.

Jassy issued an equivocating warning to Amazon customers that the world’s most popular online retailer is facing challenges from the Trump administration’s tariff push, stating in an interview with CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin on “Squawk Box” on Thursday that the levies could create “macro issues” that hit the average Joe square in the budget.

“I’m guessing that sellers will pass that cost on,” Jassy said of the cost of tariffs. “And I understand why, I mean, depending on which country you’re in, you don’t have 50% extra margin that you can play with.”

“I’m guessing that sellers will pass that cost on,” Jassy said of the cost of tariffs. “And I understand why, I mean, depending on which country you’re in, you don’t have 50% extra margin that you can play with.”

“It’s so early right now, but we haven’t seen any change in consumer behavior in a meaningful way yet,” Jassy said. (Read more from “Amazon CEO Warns Americans Cheap Prices of Everyday Goods Could Be a Thing of the Past” HERE)

Second Failed Trump Assassin Charged

/1 Comment/in , /by

Ryan Wesley Routh, the second wannabe assassin of President Donald Trump during the 2024 election season — who is accused of trying to kill the president at his golf course in September — has been charged with attempted murder and terrorism by the state of Florida.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier told Fox & Friends on Thursday that his office has finally secured a warrant and is charging Routh with attempted first-degree murder and terrorism after the former administration stonewalled Florida’s efforts to “pursue justice.”

“We want a justice system that is willing to pursue justice, no matter what party is in charge,” Uthmeier said. “Joe Biden and the Democrats did everything they could to drag their feet and refuse to cooperate with the state of Florida.”

“Under Attorney General Bondi and the Trump administration and our new FBI director, it’s been a breath of fresh air — very different. They’ve been transparent and cooperative,” the Florida Attorney General added.

Uthmeier also noted that the federal government has made their evidentiary folder available to his office, and that more evidence about the case will become public soon. (Read more from “Second Failed Trump Assassin Charged” HERE)

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)

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.”

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)

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? …”

House Dem More Supportive Of Trump Tariffs Than Many Republicans

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the biggest Congressional champions of President Donald Trump’s tariff policy hails from the Democratic Party.

Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, who has consistently won reelection in a district Trump carried by nine percentage points in 2024, is emerging as one of the most ardent defenders of the administration’s recent tariffs. While some Congressional Republicans are seeking to rein in the president’s tariff authority, Golden is urging Trump to not listen to detractors urging him to stop implementing tariffs on countries around the world.

“My biggest worry is that they’re [the Trump administration] going to do this and lose faith and political will and back away,” Golden told Axios Tuesday.

Golden’s apparent support for the president’s baseline and reciprocal tariffs comes as some Congressional Republicans are moving to undercut the president’s authority to impose unilateral tariffs. (Read more from “House Dem More Supportive Of Trump Tariffs Than Many Republicans” HERE)

SURVEY: 55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable

/18 Comments/in , , /by

The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is “becoming increasingly normalized.”

The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, finds a broader “assassination culture” appears to be “emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding targets now including figures such as Donald Trump.”

Less than a year after assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Trump and the literally explosive violence against Musk’s Tesla electric vehicles, it’s no secret that leftists are ratcheting up violent rhetoric and actions. The more troubling trend is that an “assassination culture” isn’t just coming from the “fringe” left.

“These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” states the report, titled, “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”

NCRI, an independent institution working to “identify and forecast emerging threats in the era of information disorder,” finds the pattern is building on a broader trend discussed in two reports in December that analyzed “how viral social media narratives were legitimizing political violence, particularly in the aftermath of the United Healthcare CEO’s assassination.” (Read more from “SURVEY: 55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable” HERE)
