The last time Trump imposed a 25% Tariff, The Market crashed and Trump rescinded the order before day’s end. Steel ‘Still, the new taxes on foreign steel and aluminum and Trump’s other import tax plans – including his promise to raise American tariffs to match those charged by other countries -- are likely “to boost U.S. inflation and weigh on global growth this year,’’ Jennifer McKeown and Hamad Hussain of Capital Economics wrote Monday. AP **Quick follow-up for yesterday: Yesterday I reported on the looming Constitutional Showdown, citing various sources.

Counsel Re: 'Project Klepto' Seizure of Russian Funds: Sun, Feb 9, 1:04 PM (2 days ago) to senator@schumer.senate.gov 'I Know it's very busy but, AG Bondi has disbanded 'Project Klepto Capture' Re; $700M seized Russian Assets. I've sent the following Message to the DOJ/Office of GC. I hope Sen. Chuck will support like-minded Americans in vehement Opposition to Bondi's maneuver: 'It is completely beyond outrageous that on the First Day of AG Bondi's tenure, one of her first moves is to Disband  Taskforce Klepto Capture. Is this some form of the New AG furthering Pres. Trump's Agenda of capitulation to Putin and Russia? The Taskforce achieved almost $700 million in assets being seized to enforce sanctions and restrictions against Russia following the invasion of Ukraine. Is this action intended to advise Putin...

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-   It is completely bizarre that a movement which claims to ‘Make America Great…’ supports an Administration that is bent on crippling the life-saving services that America provides at home and around the world which serve to   “Make America Great”. At home, NIH programs which fund life-saving Cancer Research are slashed. At the same time, US AID programs which work to eradicate everything from AIDS to Starvation around the globe are ordered shut by MAGA Extremists. Another target for Trump’s unconstitutional actions – the Department of Education. DOE DOE is yet another agency requiring congressional action to eliminate. It is reported that even in the rough draft of the plan, Congressional Authority is mentioned. Therefore, Trump plans to defund and shrink the Department to the brink of collapse, with or without Congressional consent. It appears, that for now anyway, t...

The U.S. Senate and Congress authorize and finance these agencies and then an Unelected Elon Musk and his adolescent gaggle are permitted access to Classified and Confidential information. Axios Pres. Trump said today he ‘picks targets for Musk’ and Musk and his teenage DOGE gang go in.  No one Elected Elon Musk. Democrats recently moved to ban Musk and the DOGE Bags from confidential information. Musk What is ‘Happening Here’ becomes more alarmingly clear. Happenin' Here It is Indeed, Time we stop, look, and say what’s That? Trump/Musk clearly need to be stopped. With Zero Evidence, absolutely Nothing a...

NYT French French states that Trump and his MAGA Minions aim to move beyond historic limits so that they can tear down the present state of the Union because they don’t care for constitutional restraints and Judicial or Congressional oversight. Trump himself appears to be daring the Supreme Court to stop him. In Executive Functions , Bob Bauer and Jack Goldsmith write that Trump/Musk’s presidential maneuvers are likely an effort to defy Constitutional Authority and any Supreme Court mandates in order to re-make the presidency as the supreme authority in the United States. https://executivefunctions.substack.com/p/the-trump-executive-orders-as-radical The whole point of the present Trump Administration appears to be, for Trump, with Mus...

Trump’s stunning, yet ridiculous announcement that the United States would annex the Gaza Strip. While Lawrence’s point that falling into the Trump/Gaza trap was a major distraction from more pressing concerns, such as Musk/Trump’s shuttering of U.S. AID, Trump’s proclamation could hardly be ignored. And the D.C. Press Corp. shouldn’t be blamed for inquiring further about Trump’s explosive yet completely ludicrous proposal. Yasmin Vossoughian, MSNBC noted –‘Trump, alongside Netanyahu, may have gotten the U.S. into another war’ [?]. ‘Across the Middle East there is real, deep dissatisfaction and anger over Trump’s proposal.’ A ‘straightforward’ crime NYT This, should not be dismissed. As the onslaught of threatening and divisive news, one disastrous mo...
