□ [“Justice Roberts Indefinitely Blocks Court Order Requiring Return of MS-13 Gang Member"]

Under normal circumstances, this would be a good thing, but then under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be an issue in the first place.  ICE under Trump has actually been doing its job and getting rid of illegal immigrants.  I don't know if this guy was in the MS-13 gangs that took over a Colorado neighborhood or if he was in a different MS-13 gang, but he was sent out.  Of course he had lawyers and of course the judges always sided with him.

So a district judge ordered Trump to bring this guy back from the El Salvador prison these people are being sent to.  This guy might have been on the plane that another judge had ordered to change direction and come back to the US.  Might be a connection there if multiple federal judges are trying to protect this guy.  The appeals court sided with the guy so Trump appealed to the Supreme Court and Roberts had no choice but to make the right decision here.

There's no getting around the argument, the POTUS is the spokesman for the nation in foreign affairs.  It's why so little got done when Trump was on vacation for four years, there was nobody else filling in for him.  Can't have judges thinking they're superior and giving orders to El Salvador or anywhere else.  That's not their job.  But they might think it is.

El Salvador President Bukele has already laughed this judge off, he's not going to obey, so what's the judge going to do about it?  If Bukele can disobey this judge, so can others, so the judge needs to nip this case in the bud.  Shall not the unelected government official making these decisions for other nations do right?

And there's still the question of what Roberts is going to do if and when this comes to the Supreme Court.  And the other judges for that matter.  At this point I would think whoever has blackmail info to use would be desperately threatening all of them to comply.  There's no justification for siding with the federal judges making all the decisions but they need to find a way to exactly that.

□ [“European Union Makes a Major Trade Offer to America"]

I don't trust her.  I assume this is trying to sucker Trump's people, or bribe them, or threaten, distract, anything other than coming up with a fair agreement that helps everybody.  That said, I suspect the EU is desperate.  A lot of countries are running to the US for renegotiations and the EU has no way to make things better.  Self-appointed overlords of a bunch of different countries, they know nothing about actual economics, so they're trying to find a way to work with Trump, the only alternative.

But Trump also has a demand for an annual payment from Europe, that they owe us "for the past and the present."  At least with Ukraine, there was a definite physical incentive in the rare metals, what's this about?  Could this be a signal to their elites, he knows what they're up to so they need to pay for it?  Unfortunately he might also be saying he's joining them, but we can still hope.

Trump is still in the position of strength.  I notice we haven't heard liberals complain about the price of eggs for a while, I assume that means they've gone down.  The price of gas has gone down a little bit, meaning the cost of distribution is cheaper for business, and they can drop the prices of their goods.

I'm starting to suspect - through my ignorance of economics - that most nations have tariffs against the US so that's why prices for many things are much higher than they should be.  Simply by being willing to fight back, there could be a massive drop in costs for nearly everything we buy.  Then there's the drop in government regulations which also increase prices.  No idea how long this would take to happen, but in a year or two, we could all be seeing our money go a lot farther than it used to.  And Democrats still oppose that.

□ [“Trump Issues Ultimatum to China"]

And here's the real challenge.  China imposed a 34% tariff on US goods which will go into effect on Thursday.  Trump says to drop that by tomorrow or he'll add another 50% tariff on Chinese goods.  They're facing each other down, who's going to break first?  China's a long-established collectivist tyranny with its hands on everything around the world and nuclear weapons to back it up, Trump is Trump.

This may be the high-mark of the war going on .  One thing collectivist dictatorships have is a need to keep their people from suffering too much and Chinese economists are being hit with this hard.  You don't like the POTUS, bitch about him all you want, then go on with your life.  You don't like Xi, you keep your mouth shut.  That's fine as far as a dictatorship goes, but the dictator knows you have a lot more incentive to overthrow him and your own guards have reason to turn against you.

So if Xi's biggest allies are suddenly going broke, he's got reason to worry.  Don't know if he ever went to Epstein island but he's probably connected to people who did, who went to P. Diddy parties, who helped form the EU.  Essentially they can't maintain actual production or economies but they managed to seize power to control those.  This is what Trump is facing and it looks like he's winning.

□ [“Supreme Court Vacates Boasberg’s Orders Barring Trump From Deporting Venezuelan Gangs"]

Another victory but still not straightforward.  They're not ruling on Trump's authority or use of the Alien Enemies Act, the majority ruled that there was no reason to use a Washington DC judge for this when they had been arrested and held in Texas.  It's not a direct hit against Trump or his opponents, but there is a subtle point being made.

Why was the case filed in DC?  Because that's where they'd find an activist judge to agree with them, i.e. Boasberg.  It's already known that he was looking for cases like this, which is why he'd so often used against Trump.  This is an example of how the fix is in, used by leftists to impose their will without needing elections or legal justifications.  They're funded to keep suing until they get one of the pet judges involved, then his decision is imposed on the country.

That's the point actually being made here and, credit where it's due, Roberts helped make it happen.  Those in charge of the left know they would have lost if they'd filed in Texas.  This attempt has failed without even getting into the legal merits of the case.  It's building up a stronger defense before they even get to the central issues.
