Opinions on tariffs aside, the framing of these stories is interesting to me. Under the Biden inflation, media painted corporations as greedy and needlessly raising prices to gouge consumers. Now they are portrayed as helpless victims just trying to survive. https://x.com/Nessakins_/status/1923034127357391206

Where are all the "If Trump gets elected we will be the laughingstock of the world" posters ? . .

RFK Jr. Goes Scorched Earth on Democrat Medicaid Lies

Justice Thomas Destroys the Case for Nationwide Injunctions With One Devastating Question Matt Margolis During Supreme Court oral arguments in the Trump v. CASA, Washington, and New Jersey cases, Justice Clarence Thomas delivered a surgical takedown of the legal rationale for nationwide injunctions, using just one line. The case centers around whether lower courts can issue sweeping injunctions that block federal policies nationwide, even when only a handful of plaintiffs are before the court. Representing the United States, Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that such broad orders violate established legal norms and Supreme Court precedent. “We believe that the best reading of that is what you said in Trump against Hawaii, which is that Wirtz in 1963 was really the first universal injunction,” Sauer told the Court. “There’s a dispute about Perkins against Lukens Oil going back to 1940. And of course, we point to the Court’s opinion that reversed that universal injunction issued by the D.C. Circuit and said it’s profoundly wrong.” Sauer continued, listing key precedents that have rejected expansive injunctive relief. “If you look at the cases that either party cite, you see a common theme. The cases that we cite — like National Treasury Employees Union, Perkins, Frothingham, and Massachusetts v. Mellon, going back to Scott v. Donald — in all of those, those are cases where the Court considered and addressed the sort of universal — well, in that case, statewide — provision of injunctive relief.” He emphasized, “When the Court has considered and addressed this, it has consistently said, ‘You have to limit the remedy to the plaintiffs appearing in court and complaining of that remedy.’” That’s when Justice Thomas stepped in and cut through the legal weeds with a devastatingly simple observation. “So we survived until the 1960s without universal injunction?” he asked. Sauer didn’t hesitate: “That’s exactly correct. And in fact, those were very limited, very rare, even in the 1960s.” He went on to explain that nationwide injunctions didn’t truly explode until 2007. “In our cert petition in Summers v. Rhode Island Institute, we pointed out that the Ninth Circuit had started doing this in a whole bunch of cases involving environmental claims.” Thomas’s concise question — “So we survived until the 1960s without universal injunction?” — hit the heart of the issue. With that simple question, he challenged the idea that such drastic judicial remedies were historically essential, even during one of the most tumultuous and morally urgent periods in American history: the civil rights era, a time when federal courts began issuing broader remedies to dismantle Jim Crow laws and enforce desegregation. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/05/15/justice-thomas-destroys-case-for-nationwide-injunctions-with-one-devastating-question-n4939815

Media Makes Jaw-Dropping Admission About Fear of Tariffs As Trump Polls Start to Rise Again Nick Arama Remember how we were told the economy would blow up with President Donald Trump's tariff efforts? But then we saw deals with the U.K. and China. The Trump team was finally able to get China to the table on trade, which is a pretty amazing result. The April inflation number was, again, less than expected, the lowest in four years. Grocery prices also had the biggest decline in five years. Now, the media is admitting something that's patently obvious, at least right now: what we were being told just hasn't come to pass. Axios was out with a story on Thursday titled, "Hard data suggests tariff-driven inflation and recession fears may be overblown." They note that with April numbers in, none of the things warned about have come to pass. Not only are retail sales steady, but even wholesale prices have dropped: https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/05/15/what-media-is-saying-now-about-tariffs-trump-polls-rising-again-n2189138 https://www.axios.com/2025/05/15/tariffs-inflation-recession-data?utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter .

Can I say to start that I had to feel for RFK Jr. right at that point because any sudden actions around a Kennedy would give me pause, given the history of attacks on Kennedys. You can see how startled he is. I'm sure the Capitol Police had to be thinking about that, as well. push play. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/05/14/scary-moment-as-t…right-behind-rfk-jr-during-hearing-from-protesters-n2189095

Murders Drop Like a Rock in...Denver and Aurora. I Wonder Why David Strom In a startling coincidence, murder rates have plummeted in Denver and Aurora, Colorado, in the first quarter of 2025. I'm sure that correlation doesn't equal causation here, but some bigots who clearly hate brown people have made the insane suggestion that deporting gang members who terrorized residents in these cities might have had something to do with it. Surely deporting these future doctors, lawyers, and people destined to cure cancer must have nothing to do with this. Right? https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/05/15/murders-drop-like-a-rock-indenver-and-aurora-i-wonder-why-n3802793 .

Trump Brokers $200 Billion Boeing Deal in Qatar, Signaling a New Era of Aviation Diplomacy Time, by Nik Popli President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday a $200 billion deal between Qatar Airways and Boeing, a lifeline for the beleaguered American aerospace giant and a powerful symbol of the diplomatic maneuvering defining his presidency. The agreement, signed in Doha during Trump’s Middle East tour, includes the purchase of 160 Boeing jets by the state-owned Qatari carrier. “It’s over $200 billion, but 160 in terms of the jets. That’s fantastic,” Trump said at the signing ceremony, flanked by Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani and Boeing Chief Executive Kelly Ortberg. The deal marks a rare bright spot for Boeing, whose fortunes have been in freefall. https://time.com/7285418/trump-boeing-qatar-jet-deal/

President Trump Meets with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha, Qatar - The First Official Visit by an American President President Trump meets with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha, Qatar. For many deep weed researchers and geopolitical followers, Qatar remains an ¹enigma. However, notice the linguistics, the English-speaking pattern of Emir al Thani. This is a man who speaks fluent ‘American’, spends a great deal of time around Americans and is completely comfortable expressing the speech patterns of his familiarity. Qatar is the bank for the Muslim Brotherhood. Qatar funds Al Jazeera. The leaders of Hamas all lived in Qatar When the five Islamic leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were exiled from Egypt, they fled to Qatar for safe haven. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/05/14/president-trump-meets-with-qatari-emir-sheikh-tamim-bin-hamad-al-thani-in-doha-qatar-the-first-official-visit-by-an-american-presidenta/
