JUST IN: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent just STUNNED the “Experts,” he and Trump have been making big plans and it’s FULL-STEAM AHEAD
Tariff revenue will be *unchanged* in 2026. Boom.
“Let’s be clear about what today’s ruling WAS and what it WASN’T. Despite the misplaced GLOATING from Democrats, ill-informed media outlets, and the very people who gutted our industrial base, the Court did not rule against President Trump’s tariffs.”
“Six justices simply ruled that IEEPA authorities cannot be used to raise even $1 of revenue.”
“This administration will invoke alternative legal authorities to replace the IEEPA tariffs.”
“We will be leveraging Section 232 and Section 301 tariff authorities that have been validated through thousands of legal challenges.”
“Treasury’s estimates show that the use of Section 122 authority, combined with potentially enhanced Section 232 and Section 301 tariffs, will result in virtually unchanged tariff revenue in 2026.”
(Above. Bessent spoke of 2026 revenue. I assume AND would bet, applies equally to 2025.)

Thomas, Alito and Kavanugh, take six dopes to the woodshed.
Three Justices WARN Majority Is Handcuffing President Trump’s Ability to Fight Foreign Threats — Here’s What the Three Justices Said in Their Dissent
Key Quotes from Justice Kavanaugh (Joined by Thomas and Alito)
Justice Kavanaugh’s dissent focused on the statutory text and the historical understanding of the President’s role in foreign affairs:
- On Statutory Authority: “In light of the statutory text, longstanding historical practice, and relevant Supreme Court precedents, I would conclude that IEEPA authorizes the President to ‘regulate . . . importation’ by imposing tariffs on foreign imports during declared national emergencies”.
- On the Majority’s Reasoning: “The Court’s decision today cannot be justified as a matter of statutory interpretation”.
- On the Major Questions Doctrine: “What is new and rather extraordinary is the approach embodied in THE CHIEF JUSTICE’s opinion for three Justices, which would extend the major questions doctrine into the foreign affairs realm for the first time”.
- On Practical Consequences: “The United States may be required to refund billions of dollars to importers who paid the IEEPA tariffs… the refund process is likely to be a ‘mess’” .
- On Global Uncertainty: “Because IEEPA tariffs have helped facilitate trade deals worth trillions of dollars—including with foreign nations from China to the United Kingdom to Japan… the Court’s decision could generate uncertainty regarding various trade agreements.”
Key Quotes from Justice Thomas’s Separate Dissent
Justice Thomas went further in his separate opinion, arguing that the “core legislative power” was not at stake because importing is not a “core private right”:
- On the Nature of Importing: “Importing is a matter of privilege” and “A person had no core private right to import goods at the founding”.
- On the Nondelegation Doctrine: “the nondelegation doctrine does not apply to ‘a delegation of power to make rules governing private conduct in the area of foreign trade,’ including rules imposing duties on imports”.
- On Separation of Powers: “Therefore, to the extent that the Court relies on ‘“separation of powers principles”’ to rule against the President… it is mistaken”.
- On Historical Precedent: “Early Congresses often delegated to the President power to regulate foreign commerce, including through duties on imports”.
More from Thomas via Eric Daugherty:
- “NEITHER the statutory text nor the Constitution provide a basis for ruling against the President.”
- “Congress authorized the President to “regulate . . . importation.” Throughout American history, the authority to “regulate importation” has been understood to include the authority to impose duties on imports.”
- “The meaning of that phrase was beyond doubt by the time that Congress enacted this statute, shortly after President Nixon’s highly publicized duties on imports were UPHELD based on identical language.”
- “The statute that the President relied on therefore authorized him to impose the duties on imports at issue in these cases.”
- “Because the Constitution assigns Congress many powers that do not implicate the nondelegation doctrine, Congress may delegate the exercise of many powers to the President.”
- “Congress has done so repeatedly since the founding, WITH THIS COURT’S BLESSING.”

Surely ICE has an “anonymous” 800 Tips number.
State, county AND local LE, jailers, call the 800 number. Report shitheads (illegals) will be released at xyz prison on a specific date and time frame.
Several Sheriffs in Maryland have told the governor to pack sand. They’ll enforce the law. (As it should be.)
HOLY SMOKES. Maryland Sheriffs are going BERSERK after Democrat Gov. Moore abolishes 287(g) agreements with ICE “This is the BIGGEST BETRAYAL to law enforcement and public safety I have EVER seen.”
“Now you’ll see an ICE surge in this state!”

Wow. Just, WOW!
Florida is becoming the most compelling state in the USA. 0% income tax rate; soon to be 0% property taxes, runs a budget surplus; has $15B in reserves. It will become the fastest growing state in the next year. States should take note of what is working there and try to emulate.
