Unfortunately, as noted in the initial predictions for 2027 legislative expectations it appears the ability of President Trump to execute an America-First economic policy is going to be targeted.  Incoming Democrat committee leaders are intending to write laws reversing President Trump’s tariff ability, starting with Canada.

The Wall Street Journal, a media outlet who have long been against U.S. protective tariffs, are outlining the Democrat plan. Considering the likelihood of a Presidential veto the democrat plan includes attaching legislation to the tariff authority repeal that will stimulate Republican support.

Congress can override a presidential veto with a two-thirds majority, or 290 votes in the House and 67 votes in the Senate given all members are voting. As of Thursday evening, Democrats had captured 253 House seats and 54 Senate seats.

This is where we evaluate internal leftist politics. Some democrats support tariffs, particularly in states where industrial manufacturing, auto plants, steel and aluminum are critical sectors to their economy.  However, caution here is advised as you may remember the ‘blue dog’ democrat coalition that was against Obamacare were eventually crushed by the weight of the socialist movement within the Democrat party.

(Via WSJ) – Democrats are eyeing President Trump’s trade war with Canada as the first target in a campaign to roll back his administration’s tariff agenda, according to the party’s senior trade lawmaker in the Senate.

“There is overwhelming support for repealing the tariffs on products from Canada,” said Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), the Ranking Member on the Senate Finance Committee, who added that he was “already talking” with colleagues about legislation to push against Trump’s second-term levies after he gains control of the committee in January.

During an executive order signing, President Trump takes questions from the White House press pool on the results of the midterm election and anticipated legislative action for 2027.

As noted by President Trump, should the Democrat controlled congress seek to restrict or remove his tariff authority, much of the inbound domestic investment would stop.  This would be very detrimental to the economic health of the nation; however, ideologically the DSA led congress may not care.  WATCH:

Ron DeSantis appears with pro-Ron Laura Ingraham who previously attended his 2024 three-day Palm Beach resort primary campaign ‘influencer’ event. Ingraham is a big time Ron DeSantis promoter and supporter.

In this interview Ingraham clears the decks for DeSantis to blast congress for not supporting President Trump’s agenda. What DeSantis outlines is true, many just wish he had found this strength of voice when the events were unfolding – instead of waiting until now.  WATCH:

This is Governor Ron DeSantis moment to shine!

The charges he faced stemmed from accusations from 1999 to 2009.  He’s now facing a lengthy prison sentence. I think he was married to Justin Trudeau’s current girlfriend.

(NYT) – Russell Brand, the popular conspiracy-minded YouTuber who first found fame as a comedy and acting star, was found guilty in a London court on Thursday of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

He was found not guilty of two other counts of rape and one count of attempted indecent assault.

The jury, at Southwark Crown Court in London, took about eight and a half hours to reach its unanimous decisions, which concerned episodes that prosecutors said involved six women and occurred between 1999 and 2009, a period when Mr. Brand was becoming a public figure.

The judge, Joel Bennathan, said he would sentence Mr. Brand, 51, to “significant custodial time” on Monday and denied him bail. Under British sentencing guidelines for rape, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment, although a more typical prison term is four to 19 years. (read more)

In addition to what we previously outlined in the post midterm prediction two months ago, the price of gasoline and diesel fuel has begun dropping quickly.  {GO DEEP} This downward price pressure will continue through January, eventually highlighting just how much financial manipulation via speculative trading was behind the price.

You can actually watch/see the prices dropping via GAS BUDDY Here.  Most of the price increase was driven by market manipulation designed to influence the U.S. political outcome.

The western market ‘justification’ per se’ was the Iran war and the oil disruption from the Strait of Hormuz, but that’s not what drove up the price.  The timing of the drop tells you the story that many deniers maintained for the past several months.

Additionally, we can now watch as Zelenskyy stops targeting Russian oil refineries, again removing one of the justifications that was being used by the “market speculators” who were intentionally driving up the price.  Zelenskyy will justify the sudden shift in drone targeting by using the ever-present, and always Machiavellian, magnanimous explanation.

As the Ukraine and Russian teams meet with U.S. intermediaries in Abu Dhabi next week, Volodymyr Zelensky will claim his instruction to stop targeting oil refineries shows his commitment to a ceasefire and peace talks. However, if you have watched events closely and tracked the narrative and the assembly behind it, you will see the truth and timing behind events.

There is no longer a need to target refineries because the energy market speculators are going to dial back the upward pressure and allow prices to drop.  Vladimir Putin was correct when he said, “How, in fact, is the price of gas formed on the European exchanges? It is not determined by producers, but by exchange traders.” {Go Deep}

People are only now just beginning to realize what folks like you and me have been outlining for months, this energy crisis was a justification for upward price pressure. There is no ‘free market’ factor in this system. The output never changed but the prices skyrocketed; the ‘speculators’ made billions from the manipulation, the energy companies banked the profits and the geopolitical stakeholders benefited from the political consequences.

Accepting this reality is why we were able to predict the exact moment when fuel prices would begin a precipitous drop.
