  • Behind the Crypto Hype: Questioning Influencer Trade

    This one sucks to have to write, but given a situation that just occurred on here:

    An influencer with a substantial following showcases significant profits or frequent trading activity, such as claims of daily investments into cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. However, these assertions are difficult for followers to verify independently.

  • Knauff Power: Tariffs + Trump Gold Card = America’s Double Whammy

    Knauff Power: Tariffs + Trump Gold Card = America’s Double Whammy

    Can the President act decisively on the Gold Card? The precedent set in Knauff v. Shaughnessy (1950) suggests yes. The Supreme Court recognized an “inherent executive power” over immigration matters tied to foreign affairs and national sovereignty. While Congress typically legislates in this area, Knauff indicates the President possesses authority, especially when national security – including economic security – is at stake. Attracting billions in investment for critical technologies certainly qualifies. This inherent authority provides a pathway to implement the Gold Card program swiftly, complementing the national security objectives of the tariffs.

    America needs more than just a nudge to reclaim its industrial dominance and secure its future. We need a powerful, two-fisted approach: the strategic pressure of tariffs combined with the magnetic pull of high-value investment. It’s time for the “Double Whammy” – leveraging both Section 232 tariffs AND President Trump’s proposed “Gold Card” program to bring jobs, capital, and cutting-edge innovation roaring back to American soil.
