The overall prosecution attempt by Jack Smith was fundamentally deconstructed when the Supreme Court ruled mostly in favor of President Trump carrying ‘presidential immunity’ for officials acts while in office. The ruling meant Smith had to go back to Judge Tanya Chutkan’s court and work through a process of outlining what is and is not an ‘official act’ according to the DOJ.
The result of that approach was made public yesterday, when Judge Chutkan revealed a new 165-page indictment [SEE HERE], essentially a list of evidence the DOJ claims as proof of “unofficial acts” allowing them to jump the hurdle of “official acts.” However, the reality of Jack Smith’s filing is a story without much legal value. Instead, it is a 165-page Lawfare story created for media promotion.
Many followers have accepted that Jack Smith is not necessarily the person constructing the legal filings. There is a solid argument to be made that Andrew Weissmann, Norm Eisen and Mary McCord are the Lawfare allies tasked with writing the material. When you read the filing, the manipulation of legalese to shape a narrative story is clear.
As former DOJ Asst AG Jeffrey Clark has noted, the filing attempts to obfuscate the legal requirements of “state of mind” by projecting what President Trump must have thought, as expressed by the opinion of unknown advisors. Jack Smith says President Trump thought this, without actually providing any evidence of what President Trump thought. Additionally, this Lawfare approach toward including redacted quotes amounts to written testimony, which would never pass muster in any court.
The accused has a right to confront witnesses; however, in written text that questioning becomes impossible. In essence, Jack Smith violates the principle and stated purpose of the sixth amendment. This is one of the ways you can tell the filing itself is not intended to outline evidence, but rather to outline a story. The claimed “evidence” is simply a story the Lawfare team want to deliver in October of an election year.
President Trump sat down with Dave Ramsey to discuss specific economic drivers that will jump start the U.S. economy in 2025.
Beginning with an immediate shift in energy policy, President Trump sets the aggregate goal to reduce overall energy prices by 50% in the first year. The drop in energy price then begins to reverberate throughout all facets of the economy as the cost of goods sold, distributed and warehoused immediately lowers. This directly starts to lower the end price of goods.
President Trump then proposes a drop of the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 15 percent. However, in order for corporations and manufacturers to get the lowered rate, they MUST produce their product INSIDE the USA. The tax drop will only apply to companies who produce goods domestically from USA origins. This approach further bolsters employment and wages as the companies shift operations to the USA to gain the favorable rate.
Dropping overall energy prices, targeting tariffs on strategic sectors, decreasing regulations, increasing domestic production, creating jobs, becoming less reliant on foreign goods and enhancing the Gross Domestic Product, directly expands the economy and provides more revenue for government operations. This is the MAGAnomic success formula that allows Social Security to survive without change.

Around 13:30 of the interview, Ramsey talks about the culture of excellence that exists within the Trump organization. President Trump notes that Eric Trump currently runs the organization and talks about one of the key secrets to their success, ‘promotion from within’.
Many Main Street titans will agree. Selecting excellence within the organization for direct advancement to leadership is the single biggest commonality of organizations who maintain excellent operations. In an era where people jump jobs, in a privately owned company – the ability to promote the best from within ensures long-term employment.
At 20:42, Dave Ramsey asks about President Trump returning to Butler, Pennsylvania to continue the rally interrupted by an assassination attempt. The Butler rally is scheduled for Saturday, October 5th.
I have outlined my general opinion about labor unions [HERE]. Now we are going to focus on the realities, politics and economic outcomes from an International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) strike.
I mostly support the strike. I even mostly support ILA President Harold Daggett, a man of notoriously intemperate and sketchy disposition. Daggett grew up in Queens, New York, directly at the same time and place as another wildly attacked industrialist turned titan of politics. It is safe to say, they know each other; but I’ll get to that later.
Let’s turn to the issues that matter. The dockworker strike has the potential to have major ramifications against the U.S. economy. If the docks don’t work, the imports and exports don’t happen. This could be a big mess, a really big mess if it goes on for a long time.
“People never gave a sh!t about us until now, when they finally realize that the chain is being broke now. Cars won’t come in, food won’t come in, clothing won’t come in.”
This union leader makes $900,000 per year. Maybe not the best spokesperson.

U.S. MEDIA – The US port workers launched the strike due to a labor dispute with employers’ group United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), after their six-year contract expired.
For their new contract, ILA wants USMX to increase wages by 77 percent over six years and bar any automation, which they believe threatens workers’ jobs.

Sometimes someone has something to say that just encapsulates things nicely.
The same could be said about EV charging stations.
I digress….

First, my perspective for new readers. I generally support private sector labor unions. I did not always support them. I do not support public sector unions, nor the leadership of most labor unions in general who politicize their activity. In our modern era, the baseline for organized labor to support the interests of their blue-collar workforce is valid.
Against the backdrop of the larger geopolitical dynamic, I would make the case that, similar to the solidarity movement of the mid 1980’s, organizing the general workforce is going to be the last-resort backstop measure to block ideological western government and corporate intentions.
Populism, nationalism and MAGA specifically, needs a unity alliance with organized private sector labor.
I also believe President Trump sees the looming importance of this relationship as made visible by his support for the Teamsters union during the RNC convention.
Consider what we witnessed and endured with the forced worker vaccination programs of 2021. I do not like the idea of politicized labor but contemplate how organized labor could have been used to pushback against the diminishment of liberty. There is a potential for value; thus, I evaluate organized apolitical labor as a potential pragmatic ally.
That said, let us discuss the looming strike by The International Longshoreman’s Association, which represents 50,000 East and Gulf Coast dockworkers.
There are a lot of economic impacts that can be created by a dockworker strike; they range from inconvenient to severe depending on the industry and sector therein. With the U.S. manufacturing base diminished, imported goods now represent the system to deliver essential products into our nation.
Today, President Trump returns to the keystone state for a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania. Arguably, Pennsylvania represents the battleground state of most focus for both the Trump and Harris campaigns.
