Trump's bluster on new economic pressure against Iran is a sign that he's finally realized he's lost the war militarily. But the "economic war" will fail too because Trump has no way to stop China from keeping Iran's economic afloat. Iran has Trump in a corner.

JD VANCE burned more of our tax cash promoting his gang in front of a small, only mildly enthusiastic, crowd. He thought it wise to employ the “cull the population” logic of the tyrant to claim that: A. rent prices are going down (they are rising), and B. they are going down because he and a bunch of thugs ordered ICE and Border Patrol to kidnap people and ship them to foreign lands. This is the logic of a mass murderer who introduces a virus to cull the population, thinking that reducing demand will offer prosperity and plenty. Sick.

Not only are rent prices RISING, his argument is the rationale of tyrants and people who enjoy ethnic cleansing. If he wants to reduce demand for housing, he could push his disgusting thinking even more and engage in Stalin's vile treatment of many, beyond shipping them away. The

-TO reiterate the points we made refuting Bessent’s claims re US debt to GDP ratios, here is Steve Rattner
Steve Rattner@SteveRattner
U.S. debt surpassed 100% of GDP this year and is on track to reach 188% over the next 30 years, according to new analysis by @BBKogan and @econjared. They find the debt would instead be trending down toward 48%, were it not for the Bush and Trump tax cuts.

The so-called “sanctions” the United States has levied on Iran since 1979 represent a clear violation of constitutional limits. The US Constitution requires due process of law before any punitive action may be taken; no clause authorizes the executive or Congress to impose economic warfare on a sovereign nation or its people without a fair hearing in a court of law. Yet successive presidents have done exactly that.On November 14, 1979, President Carter issued Executive Order 12170, freezing Iranian assets and launching a near-total trade embargo. Additional restrictions followed in 1980 and throughout the 1980s. On March 15, 1995, President Clinton signed Executive Order 12957 targeting Iran’s oil sector; on May 6, 1995, Executive Order 12959 banned virtually all US trade and investment. Congress then enacted the Iran and Libya Sanctions Act on August 5, 1996, threatening foreign firms that invested in Iran’s energy industry.
The Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act became law on July 1, 2010, further strangling Iran’s financial and petroleum sectors. Although the 2015 nuclear agreement briefly suspended some of these pressures, President Trump on May 8, 2018, withdrew from the deal and reimposed the full suite of measures, with the broadest restrictions taking effect on November 5, 2018.
Opponents insist these repeated decrees punish an entire population without trial, judicial findings, or constitutional warrant—turning foreign policy into extrajudicial collective punishment.
BAD MOJO “Trump vows to double Canada auto tariffs to 50%, escalating trade war” LINK Canada has announced “dollar-for-dollar, rate-for-rate” counter-tariffs (retaliatory duties) of 15%, 25%, and 50% on roughly $27.6 billion CAD (about $20 billion USD) of U.S. goods, effective September 8, 2026. These match the value and corresponding rates of recent U.S. tariffs (including the 50% levies on about $20–27.6 billion of Canadian goods that took effect around August 22, 2026, after trade talks collapsed). They focus on sectors most affected by U.S. measures under Section 338 and Section 232, targeting around 700 products. Existing Canadian counter-tariffs (including the 25% on U.S. autos) remain in place, along with a tariff-remission framework for possible relief.
AIER’s Pete Erle offers realistic looks at the impossibility that the US can “grow out of” its 40 TRILLION debt. Peter, IMO, slightly errs by including “wartime” ramp-up as a form of growth (it is parasitic off of the real economy), but his overall point is very valuable. “America Can’t Outgrow $40 Trillion in Debt | The Daily Economy” LINK
We did not get to play this yesterday, and want to reiterate it!
ON THE OVERALL PRINCIPLE OF FREE TRADE
Ron Paul makes the key points here that TRADE is trade between PEOPLE, willing buyers, and it always BALANCES. Tariffs are taxes, and they always are immoral.

Karen Kwiatowski offers Judge N key thoughts on Israel, its aggression, and Netanyahu’s war criminality. Key, also, her correct observation that Israel is a welfare appendage of the US.

Texas Judge Blocks Cities, Advocates From Migrant Removal Suit (August 24, 2026)
A federal judge in the Northern District of Texas (Chief Judge Reed O’Connor) denied efforts by several cities and a legal-services organization to intervene in a lawsuit challenging the withdrawal of a Biden-era Justice Department rule on immigration judges’ authority to administratively close removal proceedings. The court found the would-be intervenors lacked standing.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit lifted a lower-court preliminary injunction that had placed restrictions on Border Patrol immigration enforcement actions in California’s Central Valley. The appeals court sent the matter back for a new standing analysis.
