USC takes the top spot at two positions!

My thoughts on how the staff addressed needs and targeted its additions this spring:

A federal judge in Pennsylvania has said that President Donald Trump validly invoked the Alien Enemies Act in March as part of an effort to deport Venezuelan gang members.



More specifically, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines held that the gang - Tren de Aragua (TdA) - was engaging in the type of “predatory incursion” that the Alien Enemies Act mentions.

In an opinion on May 13, Haines noted that TdA has been designated a foreign terrorist organization.

That designation, she said, “heavily supports the conclusions ... that TdA is a cohesive group united by a common goal of causing significant disruption to the public safety of the United States.”

The climate apocalypse is a hoax. The climate cult believes Americans can control earth’s weather. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that any of these climate measures/policies do a damn thing to avoid bad weather. Absolutely delusional generation.

In a shutout, no less 😎

If, according to all the mainstream media, China would not engage in trade talks without complete tariff surrender...

Yes, Ron you are stating the obvious. But government spending is a feature not a bug of Congress. Until the crash, Congress will continue to kick the can down the road. That’s just the way it is.

TRUTH: We have a spending problem, NOT a revenue problem!

President Trump has had enough.

On May 12, 2025, he signed an Executive Order resurrecting and expanding upon a policy initiative from his first term: the Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) pricing model. In his first term, the MFN model focused on Medicare Part B drugs, those administered in clinical settings, and proposed that the US would pay no more than the lowest price paid by a comparable country.

That version was blocked by the courts in 2021 due to procedural issues and was quickly abandoned by the Biden administration. The 2025 version not only revives the core concept but also broadens its scope significantly. It retains the pricing benchmark based on peer nations while adding a novel direct-to-consumer purchasing mechanism.

This allows patients to bypass pharmacy benefit managers entirely and buy drugs directly from manufacturers at MFN prices. The new policy thus marries institutional price reform with individual consumer empowerment, expanding the ambition and reach of Trump’s original plan.

US, China Agree: "Substantial Progress" On Trade Deal After "Very Constructive" 2 Days Of Negotiations​

Update: 2 hours after the US delegation delivered its constructive remarks on the trade talks, China has done the same and it is generally a carbon copy of with what Bessent/Greer said earlier (hardly by accident):

• CHINA'S VICE PREMIER HE LIFENG: ON CHINA-U.S. TRADE TALKS, BOTH SIDES HAD IN-DEPTH EXCHANGE
• HE LIFENG: TRADE TALKS WERE CONSTRUCTIVE, MADE SUBSTANTIVE PROGRESS
• HE LIFENG: BOTH SIDES REACHED IMPORTANT CONSENSUS
• HE LIFENG: BOTH SIDES AGREED TO ESTABLISH CHINA-U.S. TRADE CONSULTATION MECHANISM

Not surprisingly weekend futures are surging on what appears to be a favorable outcome from the weekend talks:

Just hours after Trump praised China tariff talks, saying that "great progress" had been made and that a "total reset" of relations was on the table, the second day of trade negotiations between the US and China concluded moments ago, and there was more good news: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that the US and China made “substantial progress” adding that they will share more details on Monday.

The announcement followed hours of meetings between Bessent, Greer and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. The talks were hosted by the Swiss ambassador to the United Nations, whose residence was used as the venue for the two countries’ teams.

Here are the Bloomberg and Reuters headlines after day 2:

• BESSENT: US, CHINA MADE 'SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS' ON DEAL
• GREER: IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW QUICK WE CAME TO AGREEMENT
• THIS WAS A VERY CONSTRUCTIVE 2 DAYS
• DIFFERENCES NOT AS GREAT AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT
• BESSENT: COMPLETE BRIEFING COMING TOMORROW MORNING

Bessent said that "talks were productive" and involved China's Vice Premier, two Vice Ministers who were integrally involved, Ambassador Jamieson and myself." Bessent said that he "will be giving details tomorrow."

Rivals250 LB Shaun Scott, from Mater Dei, is visiting USC today. I talked to him ahead of that visit about his connection with the staff and where USC sits in his recruitment.

It’s Time to End Magical Thinking About Russia’s Defeat​

Putin has withstood the West’s best efforts to reverse his invasion of Ukraine, and his hold on power is firm. The U.S. and its allies need a new strategy: containment.​

The clock has just about run out on them and the truth is about to come out in an explosive manner. This will be the biggest political scandal of our lifetime!

The question has to be asked:

"How could PanamaSteve get the biggest story of our generation dead wrong"

A perfect loser, perfectly wrong all the time!

TICK TOCK!
