How much longer are we going to tolerate American judges kneecapping American interests from behind the bench? In the latest act of judicial self-sabotage, a federal appeals court has decided that President Donald J. Trump—yes, the duly elected President of the United States—isn’t allowed to impose tariffs to protect American industries (Snip) Let’s get one thing straight: President Trump enacted those tariffs using the clear authority granted to him under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. The law allows the President to take action to restrict imports if those imports are found to threaten national security. Not luxury. Not convenience. Security.

This is because Chief Justice Roberts lied when he swore to uphold the US Constitution. Because he could end all this lawfare tomorrow but seems to have been born without the cajónes to do his job. Or maybe it is simply because he hates Trump more than he loves Justice. Either way, this is Roberts doing.

The clear and ringing answer is NO! They are creatures of the impotent and feckless Congress and they all belong to the same union.

I have a suggestion: on July 9 the negotiation with the EU expires. Let the proposed 50% Tariffs begin that day to encourage the others.

"Side with America?" What is more "American" than our government's (all three branches) adherence to our Constitution, the binding glue of our nation's governance? In clear language, with no need to interpret 'implied' powers from arcane language, the Constitution unequivocally gives the power and authority on taxation, including tariffs, exclusively to Congress. The Trade Expansion Act of 1962 was enacted by a democrat congress and signed into public law by a democrat president; it's constitutionality was questioned but not fully adjudicated; however, it remains the case that no public law, act of congress, or demands of a populist political movement, outweigh the Constitution. Calls to ignore, pretend ignorance, or sidestep the Constitution are decidedly anti-American. The author appears to believe that Congress completely delegated its tariff authority to the president but that would violate Article 1, Section 1 of our Constitution, the Vesting Clause, which states: "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." That the Framers of our Constitution saw taxation, including tariffs, as a legislative power was made clear by language and placement, not within Article 2 or 3, but within Article 1 Section 8: “The Congress shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises (tariffs).” Since 1913, when the 16th amendment legalized the income tax, which supplanted tariffs as a primary source of government revenue, tariffs became less contentious, so legal issues regarding the constitutionality of delegating the enumerated powers of Congress to the president fell by the wayside but are coming to the fore again in 2025. If any popular political movement (progressive, populist, conservative, or otherwise), believes their aims are stymied by the Constitution, they are free to propose, pass, and submit to the states for ratification their amendment of choice.

On Friday, Joe Biden gave a speech at the annual Memorial Day event at Veterans Memorial Park in New Castle, Del. — his first public remarks since the revelation of his cancer diagnosis. And it went as well as you would expect. And if you expected him to make the speech about himself and his family, you were right. What should have been a solemn tribute to the men and women who laid down their lives for this country turned into yet another chapter in the Biden family memoir.

The FBI is investigating an effort by an unknown individual to impersonate White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, according to a report. The imposter has reportedly fired off text messages and placed phone calls to Republican lawmakers, governors and business executives in recent weeks pretending to be Wiles, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. It’s unclear who is behind the campaign, and what their goal is, but the faker appears to be using artificial intelligence to mimic Wiles’s voice — and in one case asked for cash transfer, according to the outlet.

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey found the operations by federal immigration officials on Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard “disturbing,” despite the arrests of more than three dozen illegal migrants. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported about 40 apprehensions in the May 27 operation on the elite coastal enclaves, including a documented MS-13 gang member and at least one child sex offender. ICE partnered with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Coast Guard in the operation.

An anti-Trump IT specialist the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was arrested on Thursday for attempting to provide classified national defense information to a foreign government. According to the DOJ, Nathan Vilas Laatsch, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia, was arrested on Thursday in northern Virginia, and will make his initial court appearance in the Eastern District of Virginia on Friday. The Justice Department said Laatsch offered to transmit classified information to the foreign government because he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” that he had access to, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.”

When a president defies a court, the media pulls the fire alarm. Legal experts fill TV panels with words like "unconstitutional" and "authoritarian." The phrase “constitutional crisis” gets tossed around like glitter at a political parade. But what most people forget is that history doesn’t always side with the judiciary. Some of America’s greatest presidents defied court rulings, and history later confirmed that those examples of defiance were not only justified but necessary. They didn’t do it to seek power. They did it to protect the country when others froze. That’s not a crisis. That’s leadership. Now that two federal courts have blocked President Trump’s new economic tariffs,

Former CNN political reporter Chris Cillizza revealed Wednesday that his Tesla was vandalized with a “Musk is a Nazi” sign while attending his son’s soccer tournament over the weekend. Cillizza shared the incident on his Substack, calling it yet another example of how the politicization of everyday life is “making us all crazy.” “So this is the first time I’ve experienced the sort of politics of Elon Musk and Tesla,” he said. But beneath his words was a deeper, more uncomfortable realization. Back when he bought his Tesla—a Model 3 purchased around 2019 or 2020—Cillizza assumed the real danger would come from conservatives.

WASHINGTON — A federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law, swiftly throwing into doubt Trump’s signature set of economic policies that have rattled global financial markets, frustrated trade partners and raised broader fears about inflation intensifying and the economy slumping. The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs exceeded his authority and left the country’s trade policy dependent on his whims. Trump has repeatedly said the tariffs would force manufacturers to bring back factory jobs to the U.S.

Some of the advanced weapon systems that allies have supplied to Ukraine during the 3-year war were subject to range and target restrictions — a fraught political issue stemming from fears that if the weapons struck deep inside Russia, the Kremlin might retaliate against the country that provided them and draw NATO into Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II.

This week, we saw a spate of news stories blaming Democrats’ troubles on their vocabulary. They’re just using too many darn multisyllabic, academic-sounding words and turning off numbskull voters, is the basic message. Seriously? The Democrats’ problem isn’t linguistic, it’s ideological. But no one in the party wants to admit that. A Washington Post story this week – “Democratic troubles revive debate over left-wing buzzwords” – begins by saying: Maybe it’s using the word ‘oligarchs’ instead of rich people. Or referring to ‘people experiencing food insecurity’ rather than Americans going hungry. Or ‘equity’ in place of ‘equality,’ or ‘justice-involved populations’ instead of prisoners.
