Tariff Authority

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 4/3/2025 1:59:40 PM

The Uniparty is determined to severely undermine President Trump’s efforts to rebalance trade agreements worldwide and bring back millions of jobs from overseas. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the implementation of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, effective April 5, 2025. The worst offenders will be hit with even tougher measures on April 9. Speaking from the White House Rose Garden, President Trump proclaimed April 2 as “Liberation Day,” marking a new era of economic independence. He emphasized that this measure is essential to protect American jobs and revitalize domestic manufacturing.

What a pointless waste of time. Don't they realize Pres. Trump will veto? It is past time for congress to get moving to codify Pres. Trump's Exec. Orders. Get moving or get thrown out!

Another indication that the DC political uni-party is loaded with a lot of wimpy congressional Republican RINOS! If the State Republican Parties have any guts at all, they should arrange to primary out those RINOS and replace them with MAGA supporting Republican candidates.

Grassly better remember just what give Trump his authority. Whether over reaching judges or arrogant legislators, if you step on Constitutionally protected actions you just might run into treason charges.

FTA: "Should “The Trade Review Act of 2025” ever become law, it would mark one of the most significant transfers of power from one branch of government to another in recent memory." Nonsense. President Trump has no constitutional authority to impose tariffs. The Constitution gives tax and tariff authority to Congress. Congress has delegated some of that power over time to allow presidents to conduct trade negotiations. And they granted a narrow authority that allows presidents to raise tariffs in response to national security emergencies. President Trump is using that narrow authority to impose protectionist tariffs on the entire world. When these executive orders are challenged in court, President Trump will likely lose. In Meanwhile, Congress can act to rescind that delegated authority. One or both of these will likely happen before the long term structural benefits of President Trump 's policy--i.e. massive relocation of production back to the U.S. can happen. In the meantime--and it will be a very mean time--permanent damage to U.S. exporters and American brands will have already happened.

Political posturing. Trump will simply veto any such legislation. When going gets tuff, expect the wimps to fold. Their financial supporters don’t want their stock portfolios impacted, they want tariff status quo. Notwithstanding America has mortgaged its grandchildren’s future.

I LOVE it. First President Trump flipped the corruption/theft rock with DOGE and the guilty started screaming and turning out their rent a mob. Now, demanding actual free trade with balanced tariffs is turning out the globalists who have reaped trillions while the USA manufacturing base was destroyed. The globalists can't go to their bought and paid for union bosses, because the rank and file are all in for President Trump on this one. Contrary to a previous poster who thinks they know everything about the future, countries are lining up to renegotiate better trade deals with the US. More will follow and meanwhile Billions are being invested inside the US, because of Trump. NOT a corrupt, pathetic congress, because of one man, Trump. First the uniparty is demanding extra protection for ILLEGALS, now they whine about their globalist bosses taking a hit. Keep it up, morons.

Sen. Chuck Grassley should ask Treasury Secretary Scott Bassent to explain this to him. The country imposing the higher tariff loses more when tariffs are equalized. The sensible thing to do is reduce or eliminate tariffs. Then, in the long term both countries profit.

Hillary Clinton does not have a reputation for honesty. Indeed, ever since she burst onto the political scene, the one guarantee with Hillary was that you couldn’t trust her. Whole articles have been published about the whoppers she’s told over the decades (see, e.g., here and here). One thing, though, that’s always seemed to be true is her claim to have graduated from Yale Law School. After hearing her latest pronouncement, though, I must admit to having my doubts about that statement, too. One of the things that’s pretty clear in the United States Constitution, which has traditionally been part of the curriculum at American law schools
The Death of the Center-Left in America 4 replies
Posted by DW626 4/22/2025 10:32:07 AM Post Reply
The center-left in the United States is no longer a viable political force. Once among the largest segments in the political spectrum, it meekly surrendered to and has been essentially absorbed by the American Marxists. This was a realignment almost entirely due to the breathtaking level of gullibility and ignorance of ostensibly well-educated self-described liberals. Over the years, this naïveté and obliviousness have been a source of amusement and head-shaking incredulity. However, these traits have now become so dominant among an ever-growing segment within American society that the future of this nation as a prosperous and freedom-loving country is in serious jeopardy.

If history is any indication, justice will not be blind—Karmelo Anthony is O.J. Simpson all over again. At this point, Karmelo Anthony’s family has raised more than $450,000 on the back of his crime (which reminds me to never use GiveSendGo again). They’re praising him, acting like he’s a victim who suffering under an unjust legal system: A quick scroll through the fundraiser’s comments reveals that a sizable portion of the black community agrees, saying this is what the “colonizers” get—let’s be honest, they didn’t know or use that term until the white leftist academics started propagandizing with it—and noting that the FBA is behind him “no matter what.”

Pam Bondi’s ability to manage the Department of Justice has come under increased scrutiny from the right. File releases are delayed or mismanaged. No apparent action is taken against subversive government officials. And J6ers and other victims of a weaponized DoJ remain unsatisfied. Many have raised the question of whether Pam Bondi was the right choice for MAGA attorney general. Many more, including President Trump, would be questioning her bona fides if they knew about Bondi’s role in the creation of Black Lives Matter. How Trump handles the DoJ will be crucial to the success of his second term.

You do not have to wade far into the recently declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents to be shocked. I had only read three pages of the FBI’s December 19, 2016 interview with the DoJ’s Bruce Ohr before learning just how early in the game the FBI brass knew that the Steele dossier was worthless. In the way of background, on July 31, 2016, the FBI launched its counterintelligence operation into the Trump campaign, codenamed “Crossfire Hurricane.” FBI agent Peter Strzok was assigned to head it up. If the goal was to cripple Trump regardless of the evidence, Strzok was the man for the job.

In the Wisconsin state election held on April 1, 2025, hard-left Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford, who was adamantly opposed to Voter IDs, faced off against conservative Brad Schimel. Crawford won (55% to 45%), garnering 237,884 more votes than Schimel out of a total of 2,364,372 votes cast. In the same election, 63% of voters supported an amendment to the Wisconsin state constitution requiring a voter ID. The voter ID amendment carried every one of Wisconsin’s 72 counties except Dane County (where Madison is) and Milwaukee County. The disconnect between the two outcomes is stunning until you look under the hood.

An old saw says that whatever is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. Of course, in D.C., that has never been true. If you are in the seat of power, you are untouchable. This explains the revulsion that middle earth (flyover country) has for Mordor on the Hudson. “Why can they get away with things we would go to jail for?” One of those things is getting rich in a job that shouldn’t generate that kind of wealth. Perhaps the difference between ordinary citizen geese and politician ganders is best exemplified by the not-inconsiderable fear ordinary citizens experience

When now-Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stated in her confirmation hearing that she couldn't define what a "woman" is, that probably should have been treated as a bit of a red flag. That would have required the Senate to have any sense of shame, though, and we all know that's long been in short supply. Since joining the Supreme Court, Jackson has become perhaps the most reliable left-wing vote on the court. There is no level of partisanship she won't stoop to in order to defend a Democrat viewpoint, and that was on display again in recent oral arguments surrounding parental rights.

Conservative Christians have flooded social media with support for Cardinal Robert Sarah to succeed the late Pope Francis because of his strong traditionalist stands on sexuality and church doctrine as well as his opposition to mass immigration and Islamism. Why It Matters The rising profile of the African cardinal, 79, comes at a time of ideological division within Catholicism, as the Church grapples with questions of modernity, sexual identity, and religious pluralism, and also as more right wing political movements in Europe and elsewhere have challenged what they see as the orthodoxy of a liberal global elite. Unlike Pope Francis—who often leaned into progressive stances on social justice and inclusion—

Vance, a Catholic convert since 2019, had a brief private meeting with the pontiff at Casa Santa Marta on Easter Sunday. The meeting lasted about 15–17 minutes, during which they exchanged Easter greetings.
