All past presidents used tariffs, Judges didn’t say a word until Trump
- a federal trade court based out of New York has just ruled in a three-judge decision that President Trump does not have the authority within the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to initiate emergency trade tariffs. [The Ruling is HERE]
- [From Page 6, pdf] “…[…] in 1962, Congress delegated to the President the power to take action to adjust imports when the Secretary of Commerce finds that an “article is being imported into the United States in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security.” Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Pub. L. No. 87-794, § 232(b), 76 Stat. 872, 877 (codified as amended at 19 U.S.C. § 1862(c)(1)(A)). This delegation is conditioned upon an investigation and findings by the Secretary of Commerce, and agreement by the President. See id. Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, requires that the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) take action, which may include imposing tariffs, where “the rights of the United States under any trade agreement are being denied” or “an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country” is “unjustifiable and burdens or restricts United States commerce.” 19 U.S.C. § 2411(a)(1)(A)–(B). The USTR may impose duties also where the USTR determines that “an act, policy, or practice of a foreign country is unreasonable or discriminatory and burdens or restricts United States commerce.” Id. § 2411(b)(1). This power is conditioned on extensive procedural requirements including an investigation that culminates in an affirmative finding that another country imposed unfair trade barriers under § 2411(a)(1)(A) or (B) or § 2411(b), and a public notice and comment period. See id. § 2414(b).”… [source]
- the ruling can be overturned on appeal.
- The Sec 301/302 investigation and process noted above was completed by USTR Jamieson Greer, with extensive citation. USTR Greer published a 397-page investigative outcome detailing the “unreasonable and discriminatory” burdens to United States commerce. [SEE HERE pdf]
- The New York trade court literally ignored the 2025 USTR investigation, AND the 2025 Dept of Commerce review and investigation of the same based on the USTR published findings. All of those factual investigative findings underpin the Presidential actions taken pursuant to his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

- Navarro floated Section 122 tariffs, which would involve levies of up to 15% for 150 days.
- Wednesday’s ruling gives the administration 10 days to carry out its order, which applies to Trump’s global flat tariff, boosted rates on China and others, and his fentantyl-related tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico. It does not affect other levies imposed via other methods, such as Section 232 and 301 levies.
- As it seems unlikely that the administration could win an appeal in the 10 days it has under the CIT order to remove the tariffs, we would expect the White House to announce a similar across-the-board tariff using Sec. 122. This would then provide the administration time to launch a series of Sec. 301 cases against larger trading partners, potentially opening the door to imposing tariffs higher than 10% in some cases. However, it seems unlikely that the administration could complete Sec. 301 investigations on every US trading partner within the next several months. If the court’s ruling against the IEEPA-based tariffs remains in effect, this could mean that smaller trading partners and/or countries with smaller trade surpluses with the US might not face a baseline tariff when Sec. 122 tariffs roll off after 150 days (assuming the Trump administration cannot find a legal means to extend them).

-
Game Theory Dynamics: Analysts predict more countries will establish reserves in 2025 to hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, driven by U.S. policy and Bitcoin’s price surge (above $109,000).
-
Challenges: Volatility, regulatory hurdles, and infrastructure needs (e.g., secure storage, mining capacity) limit adoption. Some countries, like South Korea, have rejected Bitcoin reserves due to price instability.
At least 22 countries are involved in Bitcoin reserve activities, ranging from active holdings (e.g., El Salvador, U.S.) to proposals and explorations (e.g., Russia, Japan). The number is expected to grow as global adoption accelerates, but volatility and regulatory challenges remain barriers. For the latest updates, check sources like CoinGecko or Bitcoin Treasuries.

- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Musk’s status as an SGE, noting that he was not a volunteer or full-time federal employee but was serving in a temporary capacity. The Justice Department defines an SGE as someone who works for the government for no more than 130 days in a 365-day period, paid or unpaid. This designation was reported by multiple outlets, including CNN, NPR, and Reuters, but Trump himself did not publicly specify the 130-day limit in these instances
- On February 3, 2025, Trump spoke about Musk’s work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), saying, “I think Elon is doing a good job. He’s a big cost-cutter,” and emphasized that Musk’s actions required White House approval. While Trump did not mention the 130-day limit, the SGE designation, which includes this restriction, was clarified by White House officials on the same day.
Biden Judge Lifts Restrictions, Allows DOGE to Access Treasury Payment Systems
- A federal judge on Tuesday lifted the restrictions on access to the Treasury’s payment system.
- As previously reported, corrupt Obama Judge Paul Englemayer issued an ex parte Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) forbidding all of Trump appointees, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, from accessing Department of Treasury data in response to a lawsuit filed by 19 Democrat state attorneys general.
- The Trump Admin argued in their motion papers that “the TRO contravenes Article II of the Constitution to the extent it applies to political appointees, in particular the Secretary of Treasury and other senior Treasury leadership.”
- Judge Vargas previously kept most of the restrictions in place, but she allowed Secretary Bessent and other in Treasury leadership to access the payment system.
- “There is nothing in the record to indicate that, prior to January 20, 2025, any statute, regulation, or agency policy prohibited the Secretary of Treasury or any other Senate-confirmed officer within the Treasury Department’s senior leadership from accessing any Treasury Department payment record, payment systems, or any other data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees,” Judge Vargas wrote in an 8-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

The Israel-obsessed faction of the Right/Libertarians have been claiming for years now that Trump is an Israeli asset and a Netanyahu bootlicker that will start war with Iran. Meanwhile, Trump just confirmed he has told Netanyahu to stand down multiple times now, so he can make a deal instead.

WATCH CA
- A day after President Trump warned California officials that the state’s practice of allowing boys who identify as female to compete in girls’ sports could jeopardize “large scale” federal funding to the state, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an investigation against the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and Jurupa Valley Unified School District to determine if that practice violates Title IX, the federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education.
- The Department of Education launched a Title IX investigation against CIF back in February; on Wednesday Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon informed CIF that in light of the news that “California’s top-ranked girls’ triple jumper, and second-ranked girls’ long jumper, is a boy,” her office is joining the US ED’s investigation.
- In a notification letter to CIF, Dhillon said that her office is already investigating the California Department of Education to determine whether it “denied female students equal athletic benefits and opportunities to compete in athletics by requiring them to compete against male students who claim to be girls.”
- California law permits males to participate in female sports in public schools and allows them to use female spaces such as locker rooms, and CIF has codified that in their bylaws as well. Dhillon writes:

President Trump’s Plan
- The wife of a former Justice Department official gave “demonstrably false” testimony to Congress about her involvement in drafting and disseminating since-debunked dossiers about Donald Trump’s purported collusion with Russia in 2016, according to a bombshell trove of internal FBI records released Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
- Nellie Ohr worked for research firm Fusion GPS when it was hired in the lead-up to the 2016 election to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign’s alleged links to Russian organized crime — but later told a House panel she did not know about the DOJ’s parallel investigation into the matter.
- Evidence assembled by the FBI indicates that Ohr helped compile two dossiers — including the notorious file pushed by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele — that helped launch the bureau’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
- 4 The Fusion GPS research repeated errors or included information similar to that discovered later in the Steele dossier.
- Ohr also sent emails — some of which she later deleted — directly to DOJ prosecutors, not all of whom she admitted to interacting with in subsequent congressional testimony.
- Ohr’s husband Bruce, then a deputy associate attorney general, received more emails as well as a thumb drive from Nellie containing Fusion GPS research that was passed on to the FBI.
- The couple personally met Steele at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on July 30, 2016, and discussed allegations — later relayed to the bureau — that Trump campaign aide Carter Page had met with Russian officials and that Kremlin intelligence had the Republican candidate “over a barrel.”
- The Justice Department never prosecuted Ohr. In November 2019, the department did secure the conviction of Trump ally Roger Stone for lying to congressional investigators amid their probe.
- “Ohr never suffered consequences for advancing the phony Trump-Russia narrative and attempting to cover up her involvement in the hoax,” Grassley said in a statement. “Yet time and again, the American justice system has been weaponized against President Trump and his associates with reckless abandon.”

the active measures that must have taken place by MULTIPLE people to protect those lying to Congress. This isn’t one person. This is a group and they will all go free. This looks horrible. Either our FBI is corrupt and would do anything to hurt Trump or they are so stupid they fell for the Russia narrative and went all in to protect their names from embarrassment. Or somewhere in between.

What happens if these people are labeled enemy combatants, they were involved in the overthrow the US gov. There is no statue of limitations
- President Donald Trump has secured another victory in his ongoing battle against “fake news” and “the Russia collusion hoax.”
- On Wednesday night, President Trump cheered the news that the Florida Appellate Court “viciously rejected” the defendant’s attempt to halt the case.
- The suit challenges the legitimacy of the 2018 Pulitzer Prizes awarded to fake news, The New York Times and The Washington Post, for their coverage of the debunked Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
- The roots of this narrative trace back to July 2020, when the Senate Judiciary Committee released damning documents that debunked the New York Times’s story of the Trump team’s alleged “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials.”
- These declassified documents exposed the reporting as not only dishonest but also as an early attempt to fuel the baseless Russiagate narrative.
- Further revelations in May 2022 confirmed that it was Hillary Clinton’s campaign that orchestrated the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, as admitted under oath by her former campaign manager Robbie Mook during the Sussman trial.
- Hillary Clinton-linked Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann was indicted for lying to the FBI about not representing “any client” when he was actually acting as a running dog for Hillary. Sussmann tipped off the bureau about the Trump Organization allegedly secretly communicating with Russian Alfa Bank.

” Kash Patel says the truth is coming about Crossfire Hurricane, January 6th, the pipe bomber and the Epstein files. Asked about if people will be prosecuted, he answered by saying this: “The prosecutorial decisions will lay at the DOJ, but we are rigorously investigating them and I think we’ve developed some great leads… but we’ve got answers coming on all these matters.” Some great leads, you say? This is all being done by the book – the correct way. We have one shot to finally drain the swamp and hold the criminals accountable. They aren’t about to screw it up by rushing the process.
- FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed shocking information Thursday morning that the FBI under James Comey had intentionally mishandled and hidden evidence from the American public in a secret room, and the contents would soon be known to the public.

TRANSCRIPT:
BONGINO: Wait ’til you read this stuff that’s coming out.
JONES: Does he (Comey) still have loyalists in the building…You guys are finding boxes that are hidden. How does that happen in the bureau?
BONGINO: We were there a couple of weeks, and luckily, there were people up there who grabbed us by the arm and said, ‘Thank you for being here.’
There are people there who are really horrified at what happened. There was a room and we found a lot of stuff. A hidden room. I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us. We found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era.
A lot of stuff is from the Comey era, and we are working our damndest to declassify…Once that gets done, and you read some of the stuff we found, you’re going to be stunned.

Global Holdings: Governments collectively hold 463,741 BTC (2.3% of Bitcoin’s total supply) as of April 2025, down from 529,591 BTC in July 2024 due to liquidations (e.g., Germany).
-
Game Theory Dynamics: Analysts predict more countries will establish reserves in 2025 to hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, driven by U.S. policy and Bitcoin’s price surge (above $109,000).
-
Challenges: Volatility, regulatory hurdles, and infrastructure needs (e.g., secure storage, mining capacity) limit adoption. Some countries, like South Korea, have rejected Bitcoin reserves due to price instability.
At least 22 countries are involved in Bitcoin reserve activities, ranging from active holdings (e.g., El Salvador, U.S.) to proposals and explorations (e.g., Russia, Japan). The number is expected to grow as global adoption accelerates, but volatility and regulatory challenges remain barriers. For the latest updates, check sources like CoinGecko or Bitcoin Treasuries.

- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Musk’s status as an SGE, noting that he was not a volunteer or full-time federal employee but was serving in a temporary capacity. The Justice Department defines an SGE as someone who works for the government for no more than 130 days in a 365-day period, paid or unpaid. This designation was reported by multiple outlets, including CNN, NPR, and Reuters, but Trump himself did not publicly specify the 130-day limit in these instances
- On February 3, 2025, Trump spoke about Musk’s work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), saying, “I think Elon is doing a good job. He’s a big cost-cutter,” and emphasized that Musk’s actions required White House approval. While Trump did not mention the 130-day limit, the SGE designation, which includes this restriction, was clarified by White House officials on the same day.
Biden Judge Lifts Restrictions, Allows DOGE to Access Treasury Payment Systems
- A federal judge on Tuesday lifted the restrictions on access to the Treasury’s payment system.
- As previously reported, corrupt Obama Judge Paul Englemayer issued an ex parte Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) forbidding all of Trump appointees, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, from accessing Department of Treasury data in response to a lawsuit filed by 19 Democrat state attorneys general.
- The Trump Admin argued in their motion papers that “the TRO contravenes Article II of the Constitution to the extent it applies to political appointees, in particular the Secretary of Treasury and other senior Treasury leadership.”
- Judge Vargas previously kept most of the restrictions in place, but she allowed Secretary Bessent and other in Treasury leadership to access the payment system.
- “There is nothing in the record to indicate that, prior to January 20, 2025, any statute, regulation, or agency policy prohibited the Secretary of Treasury or any other Senate-confirmed officer within the Treasury Department’s senior leadership from accessing any Treasury Department payment record, payment systems, or any other data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees,” Judge Vargas wrote in an 8-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

The Israel-obsessed faction of the Right/Libertarians have been claiming for years now that Trump is an Israeli asset and a Netanyahu bootlicker that will start war with Iran. Meanwhile, Trump just confirmed he has told Netanyahu to stand down multiple times now, so he can make a deal instead.

WATCH CA
- A day after President Trump warned California officials that the state’s practice of allowing boys who identify as female to compete in girls’ sports could jeopardize “large scale” federal funding to the state, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an investigation against the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and Jurupa Valley Unified School District to determine if that practice violates Title IX, the federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in education.
- The Department of Education launched a Title IX investigation against CIF back in February; on Wednesday Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon informed CIF that in light of the news that “California’s top-ranked girls’ triple jumper, and second-ranked girls’ long jumper, is a boy,” her office is joining the US ED’s investigation.
- In a notification letter to CIF, Dhillon said that her office is already investigating the California Department of Education to determine whether it “denied female students equal athletic benefits and opportunities to compete in athletics by requiring them to compete against male students who claim to be girls.”
- California law permits males to participate in female sports in public schools and allows them to use female spaces such as locker rooms, and CIF has codified that in their bylaws as well. Dhillon writes:

President Trump’s Plan
- The wife of a former Justice Department official gave “demonstrably false” testimony to Congress about her involvement in drafting and disseminating since-debunked dossiers about Donald Trump’s purported collusion with Russia in 2016, according to a bombshell trove of internal FBI records released Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).
- Nellie Ohr worked for research firm Fusion GPS when it was hired in the lead-up to the 2016 election to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign’s alleged links to Russian organized crime — but later told a House panel she did not know about the DOJ’s parallel investigation into the matter.
- Evidence assembled by the FBI indicates that Ohr helped compile two dossiers — including the notorious file pushed by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele — that helped launch the bureau’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
- 4 The Fusion GPS research repeated errors or included information similar to that discovered later in the Steele dossier.
- Ohr also sent emails — some of which she later deleted — directly to DOJ prosecutors, not all of whom she admitted to interacting with in subsequent congressional testimony.
- Ohr’s husband Bruce, then a deputy associate attorney general, received more emails as well as a thumb drive from Nellie containing Fusion GPS research that was passed on to the FBI.
- The couple personally met Steele at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington on July 30, 2016, and discussed allegations — later relayed to the bureau — that Trump campaign aide Carter Page had met with Russian officials and that Kremlin intelligence had the Republican candidate “over a barrel.”
- The Justice Department never prosecuted Ohr. In November 2019, the department did secure the conviction of Trump ally Roger Stone for lying to congressional investigators amid their probe.
- “Ohr never suffered consequences for advancing the phony Trump-Russia narrative and attempting to cover up her involvement in the hoax,” Grassley said in a statement. “Yet time and again, the American justice system has been weaponized against President Trump and his associates with reckless abandon.”

the active measures that must have taken place by MULTIPLE people to protect those lying to Congress. This isn’t one person. This is a group and they will all go free. This looks horrible. Either our FBI is corrupt and would do anything to hurt Trump or they are so stupid they fell for the Russia narrative and went all in to protect their names from embarrassment. Or somewhere in between.

What happens if these people are labeled enemy combatants, they were involved in the overthrow the US gov. There is no statue of limitations
- President Donald Trump has secured another victory in his ongoing battle against “fake news” and “the Russia collusion hoax.”
- On Wednesday night, President Trump cheered the news that the Florida Appellate Court “viciously rejected” the defendant’s attempt to halt the case.
- The suit challenges the legitimacy of the 2018 Pulitzer Prizes awarded to fake news, The New York Times and The Washington Post, for their coverage of the debunked Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
- The roots of this narrative trace back to July 2020, when the Senate Judiciary Committee released damning documents that debunked the New York Times’s story of the Trump team’s alleged “repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials.”
- These declassified documents exposed the reporting as not only dishonest but also as an early attempt to fuel the baseless Russiagate narrative.
- Further revelations in May 2022 confirmed that it was Hillary Clinton’s campaign that orchestrated the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, as admitted under oath by her former campaign manager Robbie Mook during the Sussman trial.
- Hillary Clinton-linked Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann was indicted for lying to the FBI about not representing “any client” when he was actually acting as a running dog for Hillary. Sussmann tipped off the bureau about the Trump Organization allegedly secretly communicating with Russian Alfa Bank.

evidence, and much more, all to bring down a sitting president. And it wasn’t just a few rogue individuals. It was entire teams, including leadership at the highest levels, that did this. The institutional culture was so toxic that no one spoke up or blew the whistle. Framed this way, there is no other option but to shut it down entirely and start from scratch.

” Kash Patel says the truth is coming about Crossfire Hurricane, January 6th, the pipe bomber and the Epstein files. Asked about if people will be prosecuted, he answered by saying this: “The prosecutorial decisions will lay at the DOJ, but we are rigorously investigating them and I think we’ve developed some great leads… but we’ve got answers coming on all these matters.” Some great leads, you say? This is all being done by the book – the correct way. We have one shot to finally drain the swamp and hold the criminals accountable. They aren’t about to screw it up by rushing the process.
- FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed shocking information Thursday morning that the FBI under James Comey had intentionally mishandled and hidden evidence from the American public in a secret room, and the contents would soon be known to the public.
- WATCH:
TRANSCRIPT:
BONGINO: Wait ’til you read this stuff that’s coming out.
JONES: Does he (Comey) still have loyalists in the building…You guys are finding boxes that are hidden. How does that happen in the bureau?
BONGINO: We were there a couple of weeks, and luckily, there were people up there who grabbed us by the arm and said, ‘Thank you for being here.’
There are people there who are really horrified at what happened. There was a room and we found a lot of stuff. A hidden room. I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us. We found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era.
A lot of stuff is from the Comey era, and we are working our damndest to declassify…Once that gets done, and you read some of the stuff we found, you’re going to be stunned.
