Court rules most of Trump’s tariffs illegal…… Trump blasts tariff ruling, invokes SCOTUS

A United States court of appeals ruled that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs on foreign nations, confirming a decision by a lower court that declared these duties invalid. In a 7-4 ruling, the court found that Trump lacked authority under the IEEPA to impose indefinite tariffs on imports, stating that the power to do so belongs to Congress. Despite the decision, levies on countries worldwide will remain in effect, as the ruling will not take effect until October 14. In the meantime, the Trump administration can submit an appeal to the US Supreme Court.

Trump blasts tariff ruling, invokes SCOTUS

United States President Donald Trump responded to a court ruling declaring his sweeping reciprocal tariffs illegal by calling it incorrect, and blasting the court as “highly partisan.” The president said the government will use tariffs to the benefit of the country with the help of the US Supreme Court. “ALL TARIFFS ARE STILL IN EFFECT!” Trump wrote on Truth Social shortly after the court decision was published. “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America. At the start of this Labor Day weekend, we should all remember that TARIFFS are the best tool to help our Workers, and support Companies that produce great MADE IN AMERICA products,” he argued, adding that if the duties were removed it would be a “disaster for the Country.” The presidential administration can now take the matter to the Supreme Court, and the tariffs previously imposed on most countries worldwide will remain in effect while the case is pending.

NN: It is a very difficult tricky time tough to price in risk. Markets  are missing a lot with mindless tradeing mania the order of the day. That’s why you got this incredible bubble in precious metals because people are headed for the hills. That’s also why people are  crazy overvaluing artificial intelligence companies. They have created the biggest bubble stock market ever.  And mistaken greed combined with fear  is why Bitcoin is soaring to the moon.  Everyone can not be right.  Let me give you my analysis. One of the key things that trump is doing that’s getting little attention is successfully restoring America’s ability to access foreign markets.  For many years America has been flooded with very cheap priced plastic dog shit goods from China.  American companies have been excluded from foreign markets by extremely high barriers of massive tariffs. Trump realized that deficiency and is correcting leveling the playing field. Its in fact  one of the best things he’s doing. The problem is that America has very much become a house divided against itself. No longer are politicians working together  for the good of the country. Their is a great divide between the republicans and the democrats. The liberal lefty politicians are hell bent on destroying Trump, anyway possible.  A lot of things that Trump is doing are controversial. For example he’s using his power as presidents for revenge on his political enemies. That’s not a good thing. His misguided peace efforts in Ukraine are failing miserably. His peace treaty with the Hooties is a sick  joke. Hamas has not come to the bargaining table and needs to be eliminated . Syrian and Lebanon are still up for grabs as major power shifts are going on. The US budget deficits are soaring and the tariffs revenue have the ability to significantly reduce Americas massive debt burden. Makes you  wonder what the opposition politicians are thinking. Fair tariffs have the ability to bring manufacturing and high paying jobs to the US.  And bring huge advantages as Americas gets his rightful place as a major manufacturing Innovative Powerhouse. In a improving situation  from a trade standpoint I expect golden silver prices to crash. I expect at some point Bitcoin to completely wipe out as a Ponzi scheme  that has sucked in the masses. In the meantime a lot of money can be made both ways in bitcoin but it’s a very dangerous game. You’re dancing with the devil. The stock market is the biggest bubble we’ve ever seen. Artificial intelligence is another dot com bubble. Estimates of how much it’ll make and how much it’ll change the world to greatly exaggerated. As often is the case in bubble markets of mass greed its the most target rich environment I’ve ever seen. Remember you’re not going to make any money collecting 10% interest on your savings or your IRA account. The really big life changing money is made in the black swan events. And we got several swans swimming in the pond black ones. You’ve got the gold and silver bubble, you got the Bitcoin bubble, you got the stock market bubble. And you got a greatly underpriced oil market that is not pricing in the Middle East, Iran, Russian and the Venezuelan oil supply risks. The markets are buying into the dream peace deals that will never happen. All I can say is have a nice day and  prepare yourself for a huge payday.

Eric Trump: No question that Bitcoin will reach $1M

United States President Donald Trump’s son, Eric Trump, claimed on Friday that there is “no question” that Bitcoin will reach $1 million in the next several years. “You’ve got nation states that are buying the hell out of Bitcoin, you’ve got Fortune 500 companies that are buying the hell out of Bitcoin. I mean, you’ve got the biggest families, you’ve got the biggest companies on Earth that believe in this digital store of value. Everybody wants Bitcoin and everybody is buying Bitcoin, and that’s an incredible thing, and that’s why I’ve always said that I really believe in the next several years Bitcoin hits a $1 million,” Eric Trump stated at the Bitcoin Asia conference. He also noted that Bitcoin’s price does not have to stop at $1 million, claiming that he thinks it can go “a lot higher.”

Cook Scrutiny Builds After Criminal Referral Over Third Mortgage

  • Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte sent a new criminal referral against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud.
  • The referral concerns a property in Massachusetts and follows a complaint alleging that Cook fraudulently listed homes in Michigan and Georgia as her “primary residence” when she obtained mortgages in 2021.
  • Cook is seeking to block President Donald Trump’s move to fire her, filing a lawsuit that labels the president’s bid to oust her as “illegal” and casting it as a bid to seize control of the Fed.

Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte sent a new criminal referral against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, intensifying the Trump administration’s pressure campaign against the central bank board member over allegations of mortgage fraud. The new referral, in a letter to US Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Aug. 28, concerns a third property in Massachusetts and follows a complaint earlier this month alleging that Cook fraudulently listed homes in Michigan and Georgia as her “primary residence” when she obtained mortgages in 2021, a declaration that typically secures more favorable loan terms. The latest complaint alleges Cook took out a mortgage agreement on a condominium in Cambridge, Massachusetts for $361,000, claiming that the property was a second home. Pulte alleges that eight months later, however, Cook declared that she had earned between $15,000-$50,000 in rental income and declared it an investment property. Cook’s attorneys did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Federal Reserve declined to comment. President Donald Trump moved to fire Cook after the initial criminal referral, setting the stage for a contentious legal fight and escalating his battle with the central bank. Trump has hammered the Fed and its chair, Jerome Powell, to lower interest rates, and successfully ousting Cook would allow him to secure a majority on the central bank’s board of governors.

Cook, though, is seeking to block the move, filing a lawsuit in federal court on Thursday that labeled the president’s bid to oust her as “illegal” and casting it as a bid to seize control of the Fed. Her lawyers have also suggested that an unintentional “clerical error” may be behind the mortgage disputes in Pulte’s first criminal referral. The Department of Justice has already signaled plans to investigate Cook over the earlier referral. The latest Pulte referral also raises additional concerns about the Michigan and Georgia properties at the heart of the original referral. Pulte says that FHFA has reason to believe Cook’s Michigan property is “currently being used as a rental property,” and that she appears to have tried to rent the Georgia property despite calling it a “personal residence” in federal disclosures. He asks the Justice Department to investigate whether Cook has made “further potential criminal violations as well as material misrepresentations” in order to, among other things, “acquire and maintain her position as governor.” Pulte has attacked Cook over social media in recent days. “No one is above the law,” he wrote on Thursday after she filed her lawsuit, posting a graphic that he said shows matching signatures on mortgage documents for the properties in Michigan and Georgia. US District Judge Jia Cobb, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, has set a hearing for Friday on Cook’s request for a restraining order as she seeks to remain in her role.

Rubio: US welcomes E3’s Iran sanctions snapback

United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Thursday that the United States welcomes the reimposition of United Nations sanctions on Iran, initiated by Germany, the United Kingdom, and France. Rubio claimed that Iran “established a strong basis for initiating snapback” by continuing “significant non-performance of its nuclear commitments.” “At the same time, the United States remains available for direct engagement with Iran – in furtherance of a peaceful, enduring resolution to the Iran nuclear issue,” Rubio added and said that “snapback does not contradict our earnest readiness for diplomacy, it only enhances it.” Germany, the United Kingdom, and France reimposed UN sanctions on Iran by activating the “snapback” mechanism, which restored the restrictions lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. Earlier today, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister announced that Iran would halt its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should the three countries make such a move.

Starmer: Putin is sabotaging hopes of peace

United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the latest Russian attack on Kiev on Thursday, claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “sabotaging hopes of peace” in Ukraine.

“Putin is killing children and civilians, and sabotaging hopes of peace. This bloodshed must end,” Starmer said in a post on X, adding that his thoughts were with the people affected by the “senseless Russian strikes.”

The British prime minister also stated that the attack damaged the British Council building in Ukraine’s capital city, with the organization’s Chief Executive Scott McDonald stating that although the guard was injured in the attack, the staff decided to continue with its operations in Ukraine today “wherever possible.” The news of the damaged British Council offices follows European Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos’ report of the European Union delegation building in Kiev also being struck during the attacks.

Merz: Ukraine’s surrender would give Putin time for next war

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Wednesday that Ukraine’s surrender would only provide Russian President Vladimir Putin with time that he could use to prepare for the next war.”This war has to end … But not at any cost. We do not want Ukraine’s capitulation. Such a capitulation would only buy time for Russia. And Putin would use this time to prepare for the next war. That’s why we want and need peace that will last,” Merz told reporters at a joint press conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Moldova’s President Maia Sandu in Moldova. The chancellor said that European leaders are working together and with the United States to bring the war in Ukraine to an end, not only for Ukraine’s sake but also for the benefit of the other countries in Europe.

Rutte: NATO is being aggressively challenged

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said during a visit to a Rheinmetall artillery plant in Germany on Wednesday that the defense industry in Europe and North America “means more than ever” and that “ensuring we are strong and successful is an absolute priority for NATO.”Rutte warned that the alliance is being “aggressively challenged” by Russia and China, which are expanding their military capabilities “with little transparency and at an incredible rate to secure spheres of influence, project power and undermine the rules-based international order.” However, he stressed that Europe and North America are on course to “turn the tide on defense production.” He cited increased defense spending and pledges made by allies at the NATO summit in June, adding that he is seeing an acceleration of the defense industry output and innovation.

Trump holds up photo sent to him by Putin: ‘I’m going to sign this for him’

In an unexpected moment during at the Oval Office President Donald Trump pulled out a photo of him and Russian President Vladimir Putin during their meeting in Alaska. Trump said Putin sent the picture and told reporters he planned to sign it for him.

Trump is pushing the Ukrainians hard to give up 40% of their territory And make a deal with Russia which will not allow the Ukrainians to have foreign troops on their land. Russia is also demanding that Ukraine’s army be  reduced to a skeletal size force. Basically opening the door for Putin to finish capturing all of Ukraine.  Trump pointed out in a recent interview that Russia  is seven times size Ukraine and that the war is hopeless.  I’d like to remind you that Putin’s strategy called for taking over Ukraine and capturing Kiev within 30 days.  The war has been going on for years. He hasn’t been able to conquer them for years now. There are many cases of very small brave freedom fighters successfully defending their country against an aggressive dictator. Unfortunately the United States, Europe and NATO do not realize the extreme threat Putin poses.  Crazy Putin regards Ukraine as a stepping stone for building back the former Soviet Empire with Poland  next. His dream is the conquest of Europe. He needs to be stopped when it is easy. Europe the US and NATO need to put boots on the ground and stop the Russian aggression. Just  troops arriving in the Ukraine will push Putin  back in his hidey hole. Right now he’s got the run  of the deck. Trump’s giving him everything and I believe this will end up in disaster and World War III,  Putin has got to be stopped now…  while he can be stopped. Rewarding him for the invasion of Ukraine is absolutely the wrong thing to do and the wrong time to do it
