    • Detailed Prediction: Trump's Tariffs before the Supreme Court-What's Going to Happen

      Detailed Prediction: Trump's Tariffs before the Supreme Court-What's Going to Happen
      Feb 11 2026
      1. The Case at the Supreme Court The case is Trump v. Vos Selections, argued on Nov. 5, 2025.Small businesses are challenging Trump-era tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). 2. Central Legal Questions Does IEEPA’s power to “regulate imports” include authority to impose tariffs?Did Congress delegate too much taxing authority to the President?→ This triggers two major constitutional doctrines: Non‑Delegation Doctrine – Congress cannot hand over core lawmaking powers (like taxation) without clear limits.Major Questions Doctrine – Major economic or political actions require explicit congressional authorization. 3. Constitutional Tension Article I, Section 8 gives Congress the power to: Lay and collect taxes/tariffsRegulate commerce with foreign nations Tariffs sit at the intersection of foreign policy (executive power) and taxation (legislative power). 4. Oral Argument Themes Justices skeptical of Trump’s argument: Roberts – Concerned tariffs are fundamentally taxes on Americans, which is Congress’s domain.Gorsuch & Barrett – Pressed the need for clear statutory limits; worried about unchecked executive authority. Justices leaning toward upholding the tariffs: Kavanaugh – Emphasized long history of broad presidential discretion in foreign affairs.Thomas – Focused on historical practice of using tariffs as trade tools.Alito – Concerned about practical impacts and the large reliance interests ($133B already collected). 5. Predicted Outcome (from the document’s speaker) Expected ruling: 5–4 in favor of Trump, upholding tariff authority.Predicted majority: Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh + either Barrett or Gorsuch.Reasoning: Court is reluctant to disrupt years of foreign policy and economic decisions already relying on the tariffs.Institutional stability concerns—similar to Roberts’ reasoning in the Affordable Care Act case.

    • Media Tried Linking Trump to Epstein — a Phone Call in 2006 Just Blew That Up

      Media Tried Linking Trump to Epstein — a Phone Call in 2006 Just Blew That Up
      Feb 10 2026

      1. Trump’s 2006 Call to Police About Epstein

      • According to a 2019 FBI interview with the Palm Beach police chief, Donald Trump called the chief in 2006, saying:
        • Epstein’s behavior with underage girls was widely known.
        • Ghislaine Maxwell was “evil” and should be investigated.
      • Trump said he left an event when he saw teenagers present and later banned Epstein from Mar‑a‑Lago.

      2. Contrast With Media Narratives

      • These details contradict media implications that Trump hid involvement with Epstein.
      • It frames Trump as wanting Epstein stopped early in the investigation.

      3. Trump Responds to Questions About Epstein Files

      • During a recent Oval Office exchange, CNN’s Caitlin Collins asked about redactions in released Epstein documents.
      • Trump stated:
        • Too much was released, not too little.
        • The country should “move on.”
        • Nothing incriminating about him emerged.

      4. Ghislaine Maxwell’s Congressional Deposition

      • Maxwell appeared virtually before the House Oversight Committee.
      • She invoked the Fifth Amendment for every question, including:
        • Whether she was close to Epstein
        • Whether she helped traffic girls
        • Whether she instructed girls to provide sexual favors
        • Whether she surrounded herself and Epstein with influential people
        • Whether she would name other co‑conspirators
      • Her lawyer stated she is protecting her appeal.
      • Lawmakers received no substantive answers.
