00:00 The Saturday Wrap-Up - TRUMP NAMED THEM: The Real "Foreign Interests" - February 21, 2026
02:01 The Foreign Interests Behind the Court Decision
07:13 The End of the Kissinger System
12:06 The 2026 Battle for the American System

Susan Kokinda argues Trump’s response to the Supreme Court tariff ruling points beyond China to “foreign interests” tied to the British Empire's Adam Smith free-trade ideology, defended by the US Chamber of Commerce and Cato Institute. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ambassador Jamieson Greer framing the administration’s approach as Hamiltonian economic sovereignty, and says tariffs will continue under other laws, including a new 10% global tariff.

She contrasts this with Thursday’s Board of Peace meeting, where 60 nations backed “peace through construction,” funding housing, security, and development, rejecting Kissinger-style managed conflict.

She warns midterm demoralization risks ending Trump’s agenda.

Republicans against Trump

Just hours after SCOTUS ruled his tariffs illegal, Trump signed a global 10% tariff on imports from all countries. The cost will be paid by American importers and ultimately consumers.

But wait!!! In less than 24 hours, Trump said this...

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-...-court-ruling/

"U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that he wants a global tariff of 15 per cent, up from 10 per cent he had announced a day earlier after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down many of the far-reaching taxes on imports that he had imposed over the last year."

Quoting Bret Weinstein - February 19, 2026:

"I believe we have entered the endgame. For the true elites, hiding crimes is no longer a priority, either because they can't do it, or because it no longer matters.
We have to decide that we will not accept a new form of slavery. And we have to be willing to die on that hill."

[Rizotto]

Scott Ritter: "We know that the USA military is heavily involved in providing military intelligence to Ukraine."

"Ritter discusses the end of the U.S. efforts to reverse the decline and revive its empire, and Europe is no longer considered an ally."

03:01 Violence, Threats & Cornered Rats: The Democrats' Last Stand
07:16 The Supreme Court Trap: Who Filed Against Trump & Why
11:42 The Revolution They Can't Reverse: One Year of Results

Another assassination attempt on President Trump is described after a 21-year-old man entered the secure grounds of Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a gasoline canister and was shot dead by Secret Service. The episode argues this is the third attempt in less than two years and links rising political violence to increasingly profane Democratic messaging and ads, citing remarks from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and an Illinois Senate campaign ad.

Barbara Boyd discusses threats from Susan Rice and Jake Sullivan toward corporations and law firms, framing them as part of a broader “lawfare” and psychological campaign against Trump’s tariff-driven economic agenda.

The script then focuses on the Supreme Court striking down Trump’s IEEPA tariffs, criticizing groups and amici opposing the tariffs, and highlights administration claims that tariffs will be re-established under other authorities with revenue unchanged.

It closes by citing economic outcomes after one year: a reported 17% decline in the trade deficit, new factory investment, and expanded nuclear and advanced energy initiatives.

Secret Epstein storage units still not searched – Telegraph
The convicted sex offender reportedly hired private detectives to move materials and equipment from his properties to the storage units

Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein hid files and computers in secret storage lockers across the US which the authorities have still not searched, according to The Telegraph.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of soliciting prostitution involving a minor under a non-prosecution agreement, and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. He was arrested again in 2019 on federal charges of human trafficking and exploitation of victims for prostitution.
Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial later that year in what was ruled a suicide. His death sparked speculation that he was killed to prevent testimony implicating powerful people that he was associated with.

The Telegraph reported on Sunday, citing credit card receipts, search warrants, and other investigative documents, that Epstein rented at least six storage facilities across the country. The pedophile reportedly began using a facility called Uncle Bob’s near his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida as early as 2003.

According to the article, in at least one instance, the disgraced financier instructed private detectives to move his computers into a storage locker after reportedly being tipped off about a police search of one of his properties. Epstein used the services of the Riley Kiraly private detective agency to move items from his properties, The Telegraph reported.

It cited an August 2009 email from Bill Riley to Epstein, in which the police officer-turned-private investigator referred to the “computers and paperwork I took from Jeff’s house prior to the Search Warrant,” which were subsequently “locked in storage.”

According to the article, in 2010, Epstein instructed the private detectives to rent another storage locker in New York.

Last week, Reuters reported that a criminal investigation in New Mexico that was closed in 2019 was reopened after a newly released email suggested that human remains might be buried near Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch.

US aims to shift blame for Iran strikes onto Israel – source
Tehran will deem any attack a “full-scale war,” regardless of the direct perpetrator, according to a defense official

Washington is seeking to limit the political and military costs of potential direct action against Tehran to avoid being formally cast as the “initiator of war,” an Iranian defense source has told RT. However, any attempt to reallocate responsibility is unlikely to alter the outcome, the official warned.

Citing information received through certain intelligence channels, the source said on Monday that the United States is anticipating a severe, wide-ranging, and multi-layered Iranian response to any act of aggression.

In order to limit its exposure, the US plans to position itself as a powerful backer for Israel, providing operational capabilities and an extensive, multi-layered defensive umbrella over Israeli territory. The dual objective, the source said, is to deliver “hard and effective blows” to Iran while simultaneously reducing vulnerability to Tehran’s potential counterstrikes.

“Iran views any military action by the cabinet of [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu as coordinated with the political will of [US President] Donald Trump,” the source stressed. “On that basis, Iran will implement deterrent and response scenarios on a broad scale, commensurate with the nature of the threat, against countries and actors directly responsible for or supporting any aggression. The message is clear: shifting the allocation of responsibility will not alter the scope of Iran’s response.”

The warning comes amid a significant US military buildup in the region. The Pentagon has deployed two aircraft carrier strike groups and additional bombers to the Middle East. According to a recent Reuters report, US plans for possible strikes on Iran are at an advanced stage, with options including targeting individual leaders and pursuing regime change if ongoing talks fail.

Last week, President Trump gave Iran a 10-to-15-day ultimatum to reach an agreement on dismantling its nuclear and ballistic missile programs, warning that “really bad things” would happen if it does not comply.

Despite the military buildup and rhetoric, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that Tehran is working on a draft for a potential new agreement and prefers a diplomatic path, though he affirmed the country is also “prepared for war.”

Moscow has warned that the standoff is “potentially explosive” and that any strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites could cause a nuclear disaster, urging all sides to seek a peaceful settlement.

AGAIN !!

and to celebrate our.....great minds think alike thing - haha..... a positive post

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This thread can be lopsided with heavy criticism - but President Trump has the common touch - can connect with and communicate with citizens of all backgrounds and races - often with humour - in short - he's a 'man of the people' .... (but takes all his responsibilities as President very seriously)

here's the phone call he made to the US Ice Hockey Team after they won the Gold Medal -

BREAKING at the State of the Union:

Al Green stood in the crowd holding a sign that read “Black people are not apes” as Donald Trump entered and was removed from the chamber.

Let that sink in.

In 2026, a member of Congress is escorted out for defending Black people’s humanity.

That’s the real state of the union.

Donald Trump just bragged that he “lifted 2.4 million Americans off food stamps.”

No — he cut them off.

He didn’t raise wages. He didn’t lower rents. He didn’t fix healthcare.

He stripped food from struggling families and called it “success.”

Spanberger: His reckless trade policies have forced American families to pay more than $1,700 each in tariff costs. Even though the supreme court struck these tariffs down, the damage to the American people has been done. Meanwhile, the president is planning for new tariffs, another massive tax hike on you and your family and Republicans in congress—they remain unwilling to assert their constitutional authority to stop him. They're making your life harder. They're making your life more expensive.

How do most USA citizens view the Trump administration? How's USA doing economically?
Here are some poll results as of Februray 25, 2026 from The Economist. (I don't know how reliable The Economist polling system is.)

401 days into Donald Trump's term
The president's net approval rating is -17,
up 0.0 points since last week.
39% approve, 56% disapprove, 5% not sure
Last updated on February 25th 2026

The Economist presents interesting breakdowns of approval ratings by demographics and issues:
https://www.economist.com/interactiv...proval-tracker

Inflation/prices, taxes/spending, and foreign policy seem to be the issues with the highest disapproval ratio.

I often see on the internet reports from struggling USA citizens trying to make ends meet. Is this an accurate representation of reality, or biased reportage?
It would be interesting to hear from ordinary middle class USA citizens on this topic. (But NOT from Pam Bondi's "The DOW is at 50,000.")

Polls Schmolls ...

I think polls have now become an integral part of the propaganda machine - for the most part - but there might be some 'proper' ones in there somewhere as well...

And the MSM.... if only it wasn't owned and controlled by the very people who want to get rid of Nations - bring in a World Government - destroy Western Culture and kill us off - (huge numbers of us over time....)

and if only the same thing wasn't happening with the Internet as well..... bit by bit....softly softly catchy monkey style....

The economist attempts to show the world that they are:

In their own words: The Economist identifies with radical centrism and economic liberalism, positioning itself as neither strictly left nor right. But the truth is:

Studies suggest that economists, particularly in academia and government institutions like the Federal Reserve, tend to lean far left politically. They are nothing more than social engineers.

If you look at who they are polling (90% Democrat or Republican) or the age of the people being polled (such as those below 30 years old) or any number of factors it is fairly easy to understand why the polls reflect certain results. Almost all polls have an agenda. The only time it is worth paying attention is within three weeks of an election. It is amazing how all the polls change at the last minute. The reason the polls radically change at the last minute is so these pollsters can claim that they were 95%+ accurate while most of the year they are 95% wrong.

[Rizotto]

So, then please tell us which polls would accurately reflect USA's current situation.

Since the zionist-bribed Trump administration is heavily propagandized in favour of Israel, big pharma, big chems, and they own most legacy media outlets, we need to carefully sort out which poll(s) truly represent public sentiment.

As Trump is making quite a number of claims, it would be helpful to find out what most USA citizens (not only the zionists) think of the results of his policies.
