Thank you Sundance.
Two minutes of harsh Truth right there.
I love that President Trump always gives others a chance to do the right thing. When they do not, he spares no rod in calling them out.
Plan B will involve the President going around them, as he does the equally intransigent CONgress.
We don’t call him Very Stable Genius for nothing. 👍😁
TY Sundance—I actually like how Trump stated this with the use of the word “disappointed”
Actually many of us are disappointed, but SCOUTUS can be interesting.
Still wish they would do something with 2020 and the 14th. 2020 is the scariest since we are now finding out that in many areas it was screwed up.
For President Trump:
“May Yahweh answer you in a day of trouble;” Psalm 20:1 (HCSB)
Amen!
Amen and amen!
All the Supreme Court achieved was to just piss off Trump.
The sad part is after Trump we go back to way things were 🙁
I don’t think Vance, Desantis….have the fortitude to fight multi nationals and other nations.
They just don’t care about America like he does.
Rubio does and has already showed us how much so. He already has my vote if he runs.
That’s why we need Rubio on the top of the ticket
Wrong
Both Vance and Rubio are very good!
I believe that was the primary objective of their ruling.
They likely knew POTUS had other options to continue his use of tariffs to return industrial production to the US and to further reduce income taxes.
So one must conclude that 6 small-minded narcissists just wanted to piss off POTUS and please their deep state overlords.
And tick off the American people.
Thoughts about the American people don’t cross their minds. We are meaningless pawns good for only one thing: paying the taxes that allow them to sit around playing games.
The uncertainty is over. All US market measures are rallying.
What rally do you speak of? The uncertainty is just beginning anew.
I guess you’re not paying attention to the markets or Trump’s remarks.
Wall Street is invested in China First, America Last.
This is a victory for Rothschilds, Rockefellers and baby-eaters.
Not true. You should know better.
No, Gip, it isn’t. It is their defeat.
The President spent the last ten months demonstrating the incredible power of the US economy to produce all sorts of beneficial results for the US population. Just by charging entry fees.
Did we ever needed to use military force, ever, in the last 40 years? Or were those tools deliberately left unused, for the benefit of the globalists like the Rothschilds, for whom Epstein really worked?
POTUS was showing us the answer.
The President has now made SCOTUS show their globalist hands, by knocking down this one tool. Too obvious. He forced them to pop their globalist heads up out of the gopher hole.
He has more than five replacement tariff tools, he’s not going to stop building Fortress America.
But they just handed him every excuse to question their loyalties.
Thank you very much, he says.
Let’s talk now about foreign influences, he says.
Man, he is lining up the tee shot for the hole in one.
Like a thousand times squared! You summed up exactly what he’s doing in just a few words.
With all the diversionary crap TPTB lob at him on a daily basis, people forget that President Trump is a moral man, which is something that has become rare in our world. I can’t wait until it catches on as a way to live life.
So true!!
I take your point, Alex.
It was meant to be a victory for the darkness.

It seems President Trump’s toolbox doesn’t have only one.
Exactly, the United States will collect MORE tariff revenue and SCOTUS and the Deep State will have no avenue to hamstring our economy/control over We The People. PDJT isn’t merely ‘defiant” as the media called it, he’s prepared..as we expected. Waiting for the exploding heads to go full Scanners.
They poked the bear today. Never a good idea, especially as he has abided by every single ruling issued by any court, no matter how absurd, how unconstitutional, or just plain overtly political.
The return of Andrew Jackson…let Roberts enforce it.
Now there’s precedent for you.
I think Jackson’s portrait is in the Oval Office.
It is, taspok…
Quite rightly.
Amen!
Trump IS our Andrew Jackson.
Howdy, Ma’am! 😁
I have just got to say it once …
I SO LOVE THE PROFESSOR In You.

Somewhat of an aside, if I may: do you prefer volleyball … or tennis?
Either/ or, dear you… but an avid tennis player once when I was younger 😉
Since so much of the TOUGHER bills for deporting Illegals like the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 are due to Democrats I can’t help but wonder how many tools in the Tariff toolbox are due to Democratic Legislation.
*Democrat
icFixed it for you 😉
big pet peeve of mine also
Many, kin…
Which is why were not supposed to ask 😎
Thank goodness because I was afraid his negotiating tool was gone! We need tariffs, it was very discouraging to hear this news but hope the President can work around!
Trade, manufacturing in America, and illegal aliens have been my top issues for many years.
It’s all right for other countries to tariff our goods but not for us to do the same?
The subtext of today’s ruling it seems.
🇺🇸 👍🏻 😁
Wow, he prepared like no one else ever could be!💥🇺🇸🦅✝️
Thanks SCOTUS, God works it to our benefit, to those who love Him.
President Trump makes it work even better.
Go get em’ Sir.
Kudos to pres. Trump for having the balls to challenge the establishment this way. But success was always unlikely and a plan B must have been formulated. Now we will see what that is.
See Betsy Jones’ post, above for the reveal: Solid bet that the documentation to implement tariffs under each and every one of these measures has been quietly kept current since day-1 of this Administration. What I heard in the President’s remarks is that the ’emergency powers’ option was a catch-all expedient for initial rollout of his tariff policies.
Bravo, PDJT – and your cabinet -! And thank you so much, for leading with the exercise of American economic power, over spilling blood-and-treasure – ours and theirs. That is global leadership at its finest.
Not sure if the SC thought it was accomplishing something. The federal govt is a giant beast that swallow industries whole if it chooses to. I was expecting that “investigations “would follow a negative ruling from the court. Process is the punishment.
He’s killing it. The best POTUS in my lifetime.
Yes. I’m deeply proud and grateful for his unrelenting fight against evil.
“Effective immediately, all National Security TARIFFS, Section 232 and existing Section 301 TARIFFS, remain in place, and in full force and effect. Today I will sign an Order to impose a 10% GLOBAL TARIFF, under Section 122, over and above our normal TARIFFS already being charged…” – President Donald J. Trump
https://truthsocial.com/@WhiteHouse/116104466589787033
That’s the hallmark of a true leader – moving past a disappointing decision to project certainty and strength.
I don’t think there is a trading partner of the U.S., after hearing the president, who is not on notice about what is expected moving forward. They might have won a small victory among the black robes, but the U.S. still holds the guns in this trade equation and President Trump has made it clear how things will stand. Tariffs can go up or down, depending on how countries “orient” themselves to the new certainty.

Happening now live:
LIVE: Treasury Secretary Bessent speaks at Economic Club of Dallas
Bessent discussing tariff issue now.
And Q&A just started.
Justice Kavanaugh writ in his dissent….
In his dissenting opinion, Kavanaugh wrote, “Although I firmly disagree with the Court’s holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President’s ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs at issue in this case—albeit perhaps with a few additional procedural steps that IEEPA, as an emergency statute, does not require.”
“Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338). In essence, the Court today concludes that the President checked the wrong statutory box by relying on IEEPA rather than another statute to impose these tariffs,” he argued.
Hint, hint, hint…
As if Trump didn’t already have lawyers reviewing every federal statute while this case was pending, so he’d be ready if the Court ruled against him.
‘The Kavanaugh Road Map’
Exactly. It’s just that those statues are more time consuming, apparently, to implement and DJT needed to get money coming in quickly, hence using the IEPPA, IIUC.
There is no one like President Trump! Pray for him and his cabinet every morning and evening
AND throughout the day and night!
BLESSINGS
Live your best life!
Ironically, with the new 10% Global Tariff that Trump is implementing today, this will probably hurt the Chinese importers even more than the previous tariffs. I don’t think the whole stock market will react, but this will hurt the stocks of the companies that originally thought they would benefit from this ruling (like Nike and others).
When I see President Trump in battle mode, I can’t help but picture him in Revolutionary War garb and quoting John Paul Jones, “I have not yet begun to fight”.
God Bless you, President Trump. You were made for such a time as this.
I am eternally grateful that you are at the helm for this contest.
Interesting story of John Paul Jones – How does one of the most notorious pirates in British history become an iconic hero of the American Revolution?

Clothing Continental soldiers during the Revolutionary War was extremely difficult and at times, nearly impossible. Learn what was issued to the soldiers, what soldiers didn’t have that they desired, and the names of some of the popular garments they wore. We also dive into the clothing ideas that were developing throughout the war because the army was continually running low on supplies.

You mean Chief Justice Clarence Thomas.
Mark my words.
Isaiah 1
21-23
Oh! Can you believe it? The chaste city
has become a whore!
She was once all justice,
everyone living as good neighbors,
And now they’re all
at one another’s throats.
Your coins are all counterfeits.
Your wine is watered down.
Your leaders are turncoats
who keep company with crooks.
They sell themselves to the highest bidder
and grab anything not nailed down.
They never stand up for the homeless,
never stick up for the defenseless.

This Decree, therefore, of the Master, God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
the Strong One of Israel:
“This is it! I’ll get my oppressors off my back.
I’ll get back at my enemies.
I’ll give you the back of my hand,
purge the junk from your life, clean you up.
I’ll set honest judges and wise counselors among you
just like it was back in the beginning.
Then you’ll be renamed
City-That-Treats-People-Right, the True-Blue City.”
God’s right ways will put Zion right again.
God’s right actions will restore her prodigals.
But it’s curtains for rebels and God-traitors,
a dead end for those who walk out on God.
“Your dalliances in those oak grove shrines
will leave you looking mighty foolish,
All that fooling around in god and goddess gardens
that you thought was the latest thing.
You’ll end up like an oak tree
with all its leaves falling off,
Like an unwatered garden,
withered and brown.
‘The Strong Man’ will turn out to be dead bark and twigs,
and his ‘work,’ the spark that starts the fire
That exposes man and work both
as nothing but cinders and smoke.”
Good is the Word of the Lord!
Thanks be to God!

You have heard and listened to The LORD!
Thank You for posting!
We TRUST in The LORD with all our heart!

🇺🇲 And yet again our Very Stable Genius, Greatest of All Time @realDonaldTrump has enabled even more anti-American Corruptocrats to reveal themselves for the world to see. 🇺🇲
When SC Justices show you who they are, believe them!
The Roberts Court finds for ObamaCare by turning themselves into pretzels on its a tax not a tax. ObamaCare has destroyed health care in the US and cost us Trillions. People were and are being hurt by the terrible decision.
The Roberts Courts again turns themselves into pretzels to destroy the tariffs and hurt Americans. For the first time in 50 years manufacturing jobs are coming back to the US.
The Top Aide for Roberts leaked the RoevWade decision to try and stop it. Roberts hides the person’s name and does a fake investigation and protects the person from receiving justice.
The Top Justice is a crook. America in 2026. Roberts fits well with the other denizens of the Sewer that is DC.
Roberts’ top aide leaked the Roe v Wade decision for Roberts to try and stop it.
Fixed that line for you. Roberts was the sole justice campaigning to get it changed. He needed external pressure, so he had it leaked. But even an assassin wasn’t enough pressure.
Roberts is worse than a crook.
The Maryland sewer eruption is a great metaphor for how the Democrats everywhere, in all positions, respond to Trump. MAGA, MAHA, America First, Conservatism, Constitution, obeying the law, etc.
It was a necessary fix Jim, thank you.
And remember, if I am not mistaken, Mary McCord is married to a key minion (Sheldon Snook) serving the corrupt Roberts
Correct
🤣
No tax on overtime!
lol yes. Chief Justice Rubio
Sorry but I still do not trust Rubio over immigration issues and would rather have someone like Stephen Miller become the new Chief Justice.
I mean sure.
I think we’d all rather have Stephen Miller head of most things, to be honest.
Me too and this is why, not far from my ‘hood down there and Stuart is pretty wealthy, this happened in Martin County, granted at night but still :

WeeWeed, I hope you are saving some of these on Rubio. We can make them into a collectors piece poster.
Vote for Rubio. He has done it all.
Oh man.. here I am trying to catch up yesterday’s posts and about to give up and get to todays, and then I see this.. it just made my day!! Thank you,, I just love those images!! LOL!!
President Trump already said last November that he has contingencies in place in case SCOTUS rules against him.
How the heck is Rand Paul this stupid?
Friends don’t let friends go full
re tardlibertarian …Perhaps now would be a good time for the Trump administration to reveal who the Supreme Court leaker was and put some pressure on John Roberts.
The U.S. is sitting in exactly the position a nation wants to be if they are considering imposing tariffs. All of the check boxes are checked including we have a trade deficit, we have domestic industry struggles, our currency is stable enough to support tariffs, timing and geopolitical factors are not an issue (additionally trade agreements are not presently in the way), etc.
The only real downside is that most of the public has been brainwashed to believe that more jobs in the U.S. should be offshored to foreign lands, more work in the U.S. should be outsourced to foreign firms, the borders opened so everyone in the world that can enter can come in (and be eligible for non-entitlement social welfare), and for the U.S. to run a massive trade deficit with all trade being in the best interests of other countries. Clearly that’s a recipe for disaster of the U.S. labor market and the U.S. fiscal position but that’s the stated Democrat Party position and also that of the “RINO” Neo-conservative faction in the Republican Party.
Even if you transformed the public education system to eliminate fallacies and focus on accurately teaching correct information, it would still require a generation for the effects to be fully realized.
Meaning, I really don’t know at this juncture how these utterly fallacious positions that were and continue to be systemically indoctrinated into almost all of the general population from kindergarten to the 12th grade can be removed from their souls.
I’m all for healthcare for poor U.S. citizens who have medical conditions that are not being hired anymore like they once were when this nation ran on U.S. labor but that’s a symptom of this ongoing offshoring of jobs, outsourcing of work, importing of foreign replacement labor, terrible trade, etc. that is still occurring is so destructive and has been wrecking this country for a long time now.
We are going to see how the Republican Party forcibly removing all poor sick U.S. citizens off Medicaid while implementing 30-year student loans plays in the 2028 election. To me, that empowers Democrat voter turnout and disenfranchises poor Republican voters. But maybe the GOP can squeak by.
However, if the Republicans are also successful in removing the state exchanges that protect U.S. citizens with pre-existing conditions, significantly removing pre-existing coverage; that should hand the Congress and maybe even the presidency back to the Democrats in 2028.
If it happens, it will not be that the Democrats deserved the power but rather that the Republicans drove away the poor voters who had been voting for them with legislation that can only be described as harmful for these voters.
In my talks with Republican voters though, they don’t care. They will only care when they lose power and the Democrats implement legislative changes that they won’t believe. Then, they will care. They should stop stripping more healthcare away from U.S. citizens while sticking them with 30-year student loans while they’re ahead.
POTUS says the SCOTUS ruling is a result of the Justices being under the sway of, or in fear of, “foreign interests.”
When queried further, he said “You’ll find out.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15578623/Trump-declares-foreign-interests-corrupted-Supreme-Court-justices-struck-tariffs-Theyre-afraid.html
Which, definitely not coincidentally, is the exact same response he gave to “What storm, Mr. President?”
Here we go . . .
That moment when the Epstein Network connects up to SCOTUS appears to be on the horizon.
Baby farms. Zorro Ranch. Eugenicist breeding systems being planned. The Ukraine legal breed for pay system. Haiti. Sound of Freedom. John of God, Brazil. Trans brainwashing, trans Pritzker, and Epstein in a released deposition confirming he had sex with Tom Pritzker (“I think I was with Tom once”).
Groundwork laid?
Ten years ago, it would have been instantly dismissed as conspiracy theory.
Now, the question:
Where and how did Justice Roberts get his kids and for what purposes did he obtain them?
is not tin foil hat territory.
It is just a very obvious question.
“We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.” – I John 5:19

If we had Honest Elections, the IRS and the Income Tax would be history and we would already have Tariffs and the External Revenue Agency.
And we don’t have Honest Elections because Justice Roberts ruled that the American People do not have standing to demand them.
See how that works?
The deals will continue…via other legal mechanisms.
In case some were still wondering.
The SC decision tells people more about the SC (legal minds, academics, or whatever).
That being said, achieving fair, reciprocal trade ( after decades of imbalances – not in favor of the USA )
is still being pursued by this business man, turned President, twice.
(the SC did not rule on this)
Countries wanting to import into the U.S. may need an annual renewable license – to which there could be an underlying agreement, ( assuming, including a price partly depending on the proven integrity, or value of commodities, of the other country to live up to agreements. The price could be different for each country ).

Wow! President just kept hitting homeruns over and over again! Fantastic press conference!
John Roberts bent over backwards to call Obamacare fines a tax to help Obama.
Now he bends over backwards to call Trump Tariffs a tax to kneecap President Trump.
See how that works?
New Nickname alert: SC John Roberts = Gumby – He can bend himself into any position regarding any question.
Trump being Trump nothing better. Cheers

https://www.semafor.com/article/02/20/2026/cantor-fitzgerald-howard-lutnicks-old-firm-did-not-profit-from-supreme-court-tariff-ruling
FTA:
“Cantor Fitzgerald is rejecting claims that it sold a product that would pay off if the Supreme Court ruled, as it did Friday, against tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, where Cantor’s founder is Commerce Secretary.
Wired reported in July that Cantor was among the Wall Street firms pitching a financial product tied to the outcome of the Supreme Court case. It cited an email sent by a Cantor salesman that said the firm had “already put a trade through representing about ~$10 million” of tariff-refund rights “and anticipate[s] that number will balloon in the coming weeks.” Two Democratic senators called for an investigation and the CEO of one of the country’s largest import-logistics firms amplified the story.
SNIP
“Cantor did consider the product — which has existed for years and was a humming trade on Wall Street during Trump’s first-term tariff push — but decided against it after weighing the political sensitivities, according to a senior banker familiar with the matter.
A Cantor spokesman said the salesman “erroneously” believed that the firm was likely to greenlight the business, then went out looking for the other side of the trade. “Cantor Fitzgerald has never executed any transactions or taken risk on the legality of tariffs,” he said. “Any report suggesting otherwise is completely false.””
Robert Gouveia Esq. (YTer) live streamed it so, this is with commentary –
Only someone with his confidence could do this.
Or someone who flicks through his plan, gets to tariffs, finds the tab marked ‘Contingency plans’, runs his finger down to ‘SC rule against’ and starts reading.
It will be very, very interesting when that same finger finds the tab marked ‘Foreign influence’ and runs it down to ‘Judicial interference’ passing over ‘voting manipulation’ and ‘House interference’. I wonder what the plan is there, and perhaps there’s a sub-section marked ‘Initiators’ with ‘SC rules against tariffs’.
I really urge anyone who knows anyone in the building or construction trade, or who has an opportunity to visit a site, to have a chat about the planning processes that go into even building a modest construction, let alone the multi-million dollar projects that The President has been involved in for decades. As I said before, Team Trump are clearing the ground, as they’re reconstructing the Republic, not tinkering with the facia and ignoring the debris field, like last time.
Mike Pence liked the decision. https://x.com/Mike_Pence/status/2024875315068014594

I heard Schweikert (who’s running for guv in AZ) this am on our local radio talk (J.T. Harris 550AM).
This is something I am VERY tempted to support (and Trump might end up supporting…)
@Sundance ?
Sorry, here’s the deal:
February 20, 2026
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act the President does not have the authority to impose tariffs, striking down a portion of President Trump’s signature economic agenda.
Joint Economic Committee Chairman David Schweikert had the following statement in response to today’s ruling.
“As our nation’s spending continues to grow, we must be honest about the math. To sustain essential programs and protect our fiscal health, we need a tax system that produces stable, predictable receipts without stifling growth. Today’s ruling underscores the uncertainty in our current tax framework, uncertainty that limits investment, hiring, and innovation.”
“To bring greater stability and competitiveness to our economy, and address tax arbitrage arising from other countries’ tax policies, I believe the U.S. should move toward a border-adjusted, destination-based cash flow tax. In line with the goals of tariffs, a DBCFT supports U.S.-based production and American workers. But tariffs distort markets and reduce overall output. A destination-based cash flow tax achieves these same objectives through a more economically rational, growth-oriented framework. This model encourages domestic investment, discourages offshoring, and provides the predictability businesses need to plan for the future. It also supports the predictability of tax receipts as federal spending continues to rise, reinforcing the fiscal stability our economy depends on, and I will be holding a hearing on this important topic in the coming weeks.”
“America’s long-term prosperity hinges on our ability to keep U.S. companies competitive both at home and globally. A destination-based cash flow tax strengthens that foundation.”
Background:
A Destination-Based Cash Flow Tax (DBCFT) changes how the U.S. taxes business activity by focusing on where products are bought and used, rather than where they are made. Under this system, imports would be taxed and exports would not. This shift — called a “border adjustment” — moves the tax base to what Americans consume here at home.
The DBCFT has two main parts. First, it’s a cash-flow tax, meaning businesses are taxed on what they earn minus what they spend. This includes immediate deductions for investments, which helps simplify the tax system and encourages companies to reinvest and grow. Second, it’s destination-based, meaning sales are taxed where the customer is, not where the product is made.
By taxing imports and exempting exports, the DBCFT is designed to strengthen U.S. competitiveness and reduce incentives for companies to move production overseas. Economists expect that the value of the U.S. dollar—or prices in the economy—would adjust to prevent long-term cost increases on imported goods.

Sad 😭
I don’t know how the country survives the divide.
The left and the RINO’s are so hellbent on disagreeing with our President that we LEGALLY and by a large MAJORITY elected.
I’m so disgusted.
