HUGE: SCOTUS Rules AGAINST Nationwide Injunctions by District Courts

This morning.
The Trump administration can now legally ignore the district court nationwide injunctions.

The district courts can rule adversely on a case, but it cannot be applied across the country.

The recent EO defining birthright citizenship that was nuked by a district court injunction is now back in force (SCOTUS did not rule on the constitutionality of that).

BIG WIN!

HUGE WIN! Supreme Court Rules Nationwide Injunctions by District Courts EXCEED Congressional Authority — Clears Path for Citizenship Crackdown

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

Says President Trump in a two word post just after the following:

We know exactly where the so-called “Supreme Leader” is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.

the AMERICAN Conservative

Inflation Drops to 2.1%, Personal Income Tripled Expectations, U.S. Trade Deficit Drops by 46 Percent

It’s so unexpected… It so exceeds expectations…

And yet, these fools that claim otherwise will never, never ever, look at the results of Trump policy term 1 before the deep state shut down the economy to stop the growth lest the average American figure out the con game they are playing.

Read The Good Economic News

And let’s add this bit – growth will allow us to get out of debt, reduce/eliminate the deficit – growth is the key to future wealth – And Trump knows all this…

And 3.8% is just the beginning

Before the cabal of commies ended the Trump miracle Term One I predicted we would end up with growth in the 5-6% range, and that is where we were headed before they shut it down.

Trump is prepared this time, he knows their tricks, and it shows.

Ukraine Minerals R US

Ukraine has signed a minerals deal with the US. A deal which has three primary components:
1) Secure “rare” earth minerals for the US
2) Pressure Putin to make a deal to end the war
3) Tell the chinese to stuff it with their wish to be the sole provider of certain rare earth minerals

Time will tell, but I expect a peace deal will follow soon enough.
While they deny it, the Chinese have been negotiating for a better tariff position, while backing down on certain tariffs at the same time. They really have no choice, but we do. Our problems from a trade war are short term economic pain, for china they may be regime and life ending.

Ukraine signs deal to give US access to rare minerals

Promises made, promises kept

That sums up the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, Term Two.

Since I became aware (age 12, 1965*) of the roll the federal government plays in our freedom and liberty, the protection of freedom for Americans, I have been waiting for a president that gave a damn about the ordinary every day average American. That is a span of 60 years. We got that man in 2016, but the deep state forces are entrenched, they are large, they are well armed, and they succeeded in derailing some of the Trump agenda. Even then Trump found a way…

So, my opinion, they loosed a virus on the world, one they knew was similar to the flu in effect, and ginned up their campaign to destroy an economic miracle** because they could not let people find out how easy it was to have a growing economy that produces wealth for all Americans. They cannot control happy wealthy Americans… From that flowed the ability to rig the next election and eliminate Trump. Recall, that both parties were involved…

And they put in the office a vegetable while they controlled everything, hidden, unaccountable – they had an auto pen, and they used it.

Americans figured this out and 2024 was “to big to rig”, close scrutiny was the rule of the day this time around, and president TRUMP was ready. The first 100 days reflect this, the most significant 100 days in American history save the period of 1776, December 1941, the events of Midway in ’42, and “D” Day in ’45. There has certainly never been anything like this. And in the media, crickets or bitching.

Secretary Bessent echoed that sentiment, stating, “We are laying the economic and moral foundation for America’s next great century.”

*Summer of 1965, my Dad’s youngest brother (20) is on the way for a visit as he travels from Ft Benning to a posting northwest. My father was very worried that he would get sent to a country in SE Asia. It’s my first recollection of that kind of worry, and he was clearly relieved when we found out where he was being sent. Later I would discover just how worried he and his military brothers were about their kids being sent to a war that is not being fought. My father and his 6 brothers (3 career Military) did not want their children to be used in a political war, one that the USA had no intention of actually winning. They made efforts to keep that from happening, but in the end it was just the luck of the draw (draft) and a promise to go to school first…

**not really a miracle, just common sense and America first attitude

Forget, hell!

Unreconstructed Southron Baron Bodissey reports—with pitchers—on the ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the Appomattox tragedy/disaster.

Appomattox: Lest We Forget
This afternoon I attended a ceremony marking the 160th anniversary of the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia (which I often sardonically refer to as “the Confederate Nakba”). It was organized by the Appomattox chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and took place at the Confederate Cemetery in the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park. The cemetery itself is on a plot of land that isn’t part of the historical park, and is owned by the UDC rather than the federal government. As a result, at that location we unreconstructed Confederates can engage in our customary activities without being busted for hate speech or otherwise interfered with.

The occasion began with a prayer. We then pledged allegiance to all three flags: the US flag, the Virginia flag, and the Confederate battle flag. Yes, I know some of those pledges are mutually exclusive, but nobody seems to care.

Speak for yourself on that one, young feller. Anyhoo. Onwards.

Following that there were a few brief speeches, several songs, and some reading of poetry. UDC members in widow’s weeds placed a rose by each grave, and two little girls set up battle flags next to each headstone. There are nineteen soldiers buried in the cemetery, all but seven of them unknown, including a solitary Union soldier (who got the Stars and Stripes next to his headstone).

Fuckin’ bluebellied Yankee sumbitch. Anyhoo. Onwards.

Then a number of wreaths were presented and placed next to the memorial stone by representatives of the groups that donated them, mostly chapters of the UDC or camps of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV). Not all of the groups were local: one of the SCV camps that presented a wreath was based in Honolulu, Hawaii.

All in all, it was an excellent occasion. It was a reminder — at least for me — that the Confederate battle flag is not about slavery or tariffs or even states’ rights, but rather a symbol of resistance to tyranny, and a reminder that Virginia was invaded and devastated by an alien army.

Deo Vindice!

That penultimate paragraph pretty much says it all, far as I’m concerned.

HUGE in NC, Appeals Court Ruling Favors Republican for Supreme Court

For those of us in the great state of North Carolina, there is news on the battle for the Supreme Court. In case you missed it, the republican “lost” by about 750 “votes” but claims some 60,000 ballots are illegitimate (they are). It’s been working it’s way through the courts and will eventually wind up in the state Supreme Court where republicans hold a 6-2 advantage. If Judge Griffins appeal is upheld it will become a 7-1 advantage and this just before statewide reapportionment lines are drawn.

MAGA pedal to the MAGA metal

It’s Glorious! Mexico already blinking and promising to put 10,000 soldiers on the border… USAID being shut down, dismantled… The US Treasury has been taken over by MAGA… Office of Personnel Management has sofa beds installed so MAGA people can control it around the clock… It’s hard to keep up! President Trump spent his first term learning how bad it really was, who the bad and good people are, where the bodies lie and where new ones need to be placed. The 2nd Term is the chainsaw as the MAGA team is dismantling the deep state piece by marxist piece in a short period of time. President Trump is treating the enemies of America ruthlessly.

Read about some of it here

Hat Tip – you should be reading

Update:
It is my belief that the President’s men have uncovered all the evidence implicating certain republicans in illegal activities, and they now have the upper hand in controlling the corrupt bastards.

President Trump is Dismantling the deep state brick by brick, layer by layer…

News from today, the marxist left is on its heels, and all we need is for the republican party to work with Trump instead of against Trump. Do that and we set the commies back 20-50 years.

It’s a glorious day every day!

FREEDOM!!!

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster

“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
Charles Bukowski

“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
Ezra Pound

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
Frank Zappa

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
John Adams

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
Bertrand de Jouvenel

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
GK Chesterton

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."

David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar

"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
John Adams

"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Frederick Douglass

"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
