1) Justice Johnny, seeing the court system slip out of his grasp, finally stepped in and scotched the court order requiring the return of a dangerous MS-13 toadpoacher. In perhaps an even bigger, 7-2 victory, the Supes ruled against an order to bring back thousands of federal employees. And yet another victory as an appeals court said DOGE can access "sensitive" information.

2) The DOJ's sealed motion against would-be Trump killer Ryan "Baby" Routh is so secret even his lawyers can't see it. This suggests involvement by a) Biden, b) FBI, c) SS, or d) Ukraine/foreign actor . . . or any combo therein. Leaks show Baby Routh tried to buy a Stinger from Ukraine to take out Trump and discussed his plan with "an operative" in Pennsylvania. So why wasn't he already arrested?

3) The EU's offer of "zero-zero" tariffs is not genuine because of their Value Added Tax and their reluctance to let in consumer goods and food. Thus, Trump says the EU must commit to buying $350 billion worth of energy before the tariffs come off. Good start. And speaking of energy, Trump will support "clean coal." Coal, oil, whatever---it's all about forcing not just tariff changes but entire global structural change on everything from finances to pharma. As Jeff Childers, who again has an insightful column, argues, "No U.S. president has ever simultaneously negotiated with the entire planet over everything — not just trade, but security guarantees, foreign aid, market access, immigration enforcement, energy deals, [and] pharmaceutical policy," One truly cannot overstate this: Trump moved so far, so fast that most of the so-called "experts" are in the dark. They apparently still don't realize he is cratering the international organizations such as the WEF, while engineering as Childers nots, a "reverse Marshall Plan." I like that. Yesterday it was 50 countries calling to negotiate, today it's 70.

4) In my substack the other day I argued that President Reagan, after he saw what so-called "free trade" did, would side with Trump on tariffs. Here's proof. His fave economist, Art Laffter, sides with Trump.
