Scott Bessent: “The culture of being able to come forward when you see wrongdoing is a central part of our democracy… seeing them in person really brought it home for me. I went and decided I would bring them into Treasury, give them a year to investigate the wrongdoing that’s going on at the IRS.”
Jay Town has the best analysis of the Alien Enemy Act that I have seen. Not surprisingly it strongly favors President Trump…
Jay Town
“…The Alien Enemy Act (“AEA”) is a 230-year-old law that can only be invoked by the President or Executive Branch “when there is a declared war…or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the…United States…
…There are several flaws with the @ACLU‘s filing and, most certainly, Judge Boasberg’s granting a TRO based upon such a flawed filing. First, the filing claims that AEA may only be invoked during times of war and to counter “warlike actions”. FALSE!…
…The ACLU informs the Court that neither Tren de Aragua (“TdA”) nor Venezuela engaged in an “invasion or predatory incursion”. These terms have no statutory definitions. They are defined exclusively by the President as Commander in Chief!…
…It is the President’s power alone to invoke the AEA, declare an invasion or predatory incursion, and identify by whom. In Ludecke, SCOTUS tells us the AEA involves “matters of political judgment for which judges have neither technical competence nor official responsibility.” In other words, the invocation is a non-justiciable political question and the courts cannot substitute their judgment for the Presidents! See also Baker v. Carr…
…The ACLU makes 9 totals claims for relief. All are without merit or moot. Claim 1 seeks to substitute the President’s judgment of an invasion or predatory incursion with the judgment of either the ACLU or Judge Boasberg.
This has the same legal legitimacy as substituting Trump’s AEA judgment with whoever wins the Publishers Clearinghouse…”
…Judge Boasberg has NO AUTHORITY to even consider a TRO in this case.
Judge Boasberg has NO AUTHORITY to turn around government aircraft.
Judge Boasberg has NO AUTHORITY to substitute his judgment for the President’s.
Judge Boasberg has NO AUTHORITY to issue a nationwide TRO halting the removal from the U.S. members of a foreign terrorist organization.
Judge Boasberg used his authority to reference Taylor Swift in his Order though, so there’s that “abuse of discretion”…”

When Democrats tell you who they are, believe them.
“Biden didn’t know what was being signed in his name.”
Jim Balsillie interviewed by Jordan Peterson…
Balsillie is a Canadian patriot. He is a natural friend and ally of America. He takes offense at Trump’s aggressive actions with Canada, which I understand. He is a man we can work with and a man we want to work with. This is an interesting conversation and an interesting take on Canada’s current conditions.
I think Balsillie is overthinking Trump’s tariffs on Canada. Fix your border, stop drugs from coming into the U.S., drop Canadian tariffs on American goods and the tariff threat goes away.
I fault Peterson for not discussing the specifics of Trump’s actions.
