President Trump Can Snatch a Deep-Water Port in South America that China Covets | Jerome R. Corsi
While the focus of the Trump administration has been on seizing control of the Panama Canal from China, another port on the Pacific Ocean side of South America, CopiaPort-E in Chile, billed as the “Rotterdam of the Pacific,” demands President Trump’s attention. The World Bank, UNESCO, and the Chinese Communist Party had long planned for CopiaPort-E’s 8-kilometer-long natural breakwater peninsula to be the landing pad for China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) in South America. If the Trump administration acts fast, President Trump can block the final step in China’s BRI expansion plans in South America before China finalizes the deal.
A group of three holding companies and one operating company (three Chilean and one Panama organized) own approximately 850 square miles (220,000) hectares of real estate on which the port will be developed, including all rights to intellectual property, programs, contracts, use and regulatory licenses, and trade secrets. St. Matthew Assurance Ltd., a part of the Cotswold Group of Companies, has established a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Chinese Representatives to purchase equity and the rights to develop the CopiaPort-E Super Port project. St. Matthew Assurance Company, the ultimate owner, is an insurance company owned, organized, and operating under the laws of the Chiricahua Apache (CAMB) Nation and is benefiting from the CAMB Nation’s sovereign Indigenous status and protections provided by the U.S. domestic and international law, including the Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Judicial Imperialism: The House of Boasberg and the Left’s War on Sovereignty | Charlton Allen
The Supreme Court’s order on Monday granting the Trump administration’s emergency request to lift a lower court stay on deportations of certain Venezuelan nationals was unsigned, swift, and unmistakable in its signal—or signals.
For now, the executive branch retains its sovereign authority to enforce immigration law. And for President Trump, now in his second, non-consecutive term, the ruling marked an early victory in a week that would yield several more.
But if constitutionalists interpret this as a decisive turning point, they misread the terrain. The Left’s lawfare brigades remain dug in—launching salvo after salvo—with their campaign of sabotage unfolding in courtrooms and press releases alike, aimed less at justice than at jurisdictional chaos, narrative warfare, and no matter what, thwarting the duly-elected president of the United States.
Make no mistake: this is a war of attrition—not waged with ballots or legislation, but with briefs and bench rulings. It aims to nullify the last presidential election—and a statute nearly as old as the Constitution itself. Its arsenal: blunt injunctions and the sharpened blades of ideological jurisprudence.
This latest flashpoint emerged from a power grab cloaked in humanitarian concern. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of Washington, D.C., issued a temporary restraining order halting the deportation of alleged members of Tren de Aragua, Venezuela’s most violent criminal syndicate—now embedded within U.S. borders, a legacy of the Biden-era’s open-border indulgence.
The pretext? A thin, uncorroborated assertion that deportees might suffer mistreatment upon return—despite repeated designations of Tren de Aragua by U.S. and allied authorities as a transnational criminal and terrorist organization. That dubious claim, transformed by judicial alchemy, became a sweeping due process theory—crafted to trigger habeas-like relief without the inconvenience of habeas itself.
Yes, you read that paragraph right: the court was seriously entertaining the claim that confirmed members of a violent, terror-affiliated syndicate faced undue risk if returned to El Salvador—or to Venezuela, the failed narco-state that birthed them. It is not merely misguided but absurd to suggest that the United States must offer asylum and sanctuary to such actors under the pretense of civil liberty.
This isn’t law—it’s the resistance in judicial vestments, cloaked in authority but animated by politics.
Clorox admitted those products were in fact made from about 50 per cent plastic waste that had been collected from “communities in Indonesia with no formal waste management systems, situated up to 50km away from a shoreline, and otherwise from non-recycled plastic, processing aid and dye”, according to the consumer watchdog.”
China Would Lose a ‘Trade War’ With the US—’Gradually, then Suddenly’ | Victor Davis Hanson, Apr 14, 2025
No one wants a “trade war” with China, or for that matter with any nation. Nonetheless, China has been waging one for years and is now locked in a tariff recalibration with the Trump administration.
In this American effort to find trade parity and equity, China can do some short-term damage to the U.S., especially in terms of ceasing exports of some pharmaceuticals, phones, and computers. But ultimately, it cannot win—and will eventually lose catastrophically. It will likely accept that reality sooner rather than later. https://victorhanson.com/china-would-lose-a-trade-war-with-the-us-gradually-then-suddenly/

On July 1, 1847, America’s first postage stamps were issued.
They were inefficient from the start!
The stamps were to be available in major post offices on July 1, 1847. Due to delays in production, only one office, New York City, received the stamps on that date. The stamps were produced until 1851.
Rates were determined by the weight and distance the letter was being mailed. Letters mailed a distance of 300 miles or less were 5¢ per half ounce; while those mailed over 300 miles were 10¢ per half ounce. Postage could be paid by the sender at the time the letter was mailed, or by the addressee upon receipt.

Robot Horses Are Coming — Would A Real Wyoming Cowboy Ride One?
It’s not science fiction anymore — Kawasaki has unveiled it’s developing a futuristic, hydrogen-powered, fully-functional and rideable robot horse. Would Wyoming cowboys ever replace their real horses with robots?
Kawasaki Heavy Industries has unveiled a prototype for a first-of-its-kind robotic horse called Corlero.
The four-legged, AI-enhanced robot is about the size of a large motorcycle and is designed to mimic an intuitive, equine-like riding experience controlled by its rider’s weight shifting. It’s also powered by a hydrogen fuel cell engine.
Confronted with the possibility of working with robots instead of real horses, Wyoming equine professionals are startled at the prospect.

Fauci’s U of M appearance comes with $75,000 speaking fee | AlphaNews
The university described Fauci as a “dedicated public servant, humanitarian, and visionary global health leader.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci is set to speak at the University of Minnesota Tuesday evening, months after his originally scheduled appearance was canceled due to disruptive campus protests. Through a data request, Alpha News learned that Fauci’s speaking fee for the event is $75,000.
“Note that while this lecture series is typically supported by donor funds, the rescheduled event was supported by the University’s Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost,” the university said in its response to the request. The fee includes travel expenses.
Fauci, the former chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden and longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, will headline the Humphrey School’s Distinguished Carlson Lecture series at Northrop Auditorium in an “Evening with Dr. Anthony Fauci.” However, if you were hoping to catch Dr. Fauci live at the U of M tonight, you’re out of luck. The free event—which begins at 6 p.m.—is officially “sold out.”

One Italian news outlet reported that Khelif was “intersex”, not transgender.”

Fauci’s U of M appearance comes with $75,000 speaking fee | AlphaNews
The university described Fauci as a “dedicated public servant, humanitarian, and visionary global health leader.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci is set to speak at the University of Minnesota Tuesday evening, months after his originally scheduled appearance was canceled due to disruptive campus protests. Through a data request, Alpha News learned that Fauci’s speaking fee for the event is $75,000.
“Note that while this lecture series is typically supported by donor funds, the rescheduled event was supported by the University’s Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost,” the university said in its response to the request. The fee includes travel expenses.
Fauci, the former chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden and longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, will headline the Humphrey School’s Distinguished Carlson Lecture series at Northrop Auditorium in an “Evening with Dr. Anthony Fauci.” However, if you were hoping to catch Dr. Fauci live at the U of M tonight, you’re out of luck. The free event—which begins at 6 p.m.—is officially “sold out.”
Fauci officially retired from government service in December 2022. Records later revealed that he and his wife Christine had a total net worth of over $11 million at the time he left his government post.

Democrats always push too far. Then they cry “nazis” when there is pushback. To them, there are no such things as common sense and other people’s rights.
Climate first. They did it with abortion. Then gender. C19 vax/HCQ/IVR. Immigration next ….
“Italian boxer Angela Carini bowed out of her boxing match with Imane Khelif, a biological male boxer from Algeria, after 46 seconds in the ring. She said that the punch was very hard. Khelif previously failed to meet gender eligibility standards in the 2023 World Championships, hosted by the International Boxing Association because he had XY male genes. One Italian news outlet reported that Khelif was “intersex”, not transgender.”
