Digging Out the Deep State?
Speaking of shadowy clowns pulling strings from the shadows, it appears that US Presidents haven’t actually held the executive power in the USA since 1935. It all sounds a bit hopiumatic, to be sure, but the more squealing that comes out of Washington as the various agencies are shut down and their bureaucrats are disemployed, the more optimistic we should be.
The Great Reclamation has begun. The Supreme Court just restored Trump’s constitutional power to remove rogue commissioners from federal agencies. For the first time in ninety years, the President can clean house. The walls of bureaucratic tyranny are cracking.
Since 1935, the presidency has been a hostage. A hidden ruling called Humphrey’s Executor v. United States created a shield around unelected bureaucrats buried inside so-called independent agencies. They could not be fired. Not by Congress. Not by the people. Not even by the Commander in Chief. These were the Deep State’s castles inside the government. Protected. Untouchable. Writing rules with the power of law while answering to no one. For decades, they dictated policy, destroyed accountability, and made every president a figurehead in his own house.
That ended this week.
In a ruling few expected but history will never forget, the Supreme Court confirmed that President Trump has full constitutional authority to remove Democratic commissioners Mary Boyle, Richard Trumka Jr, and Alexander Hoehn-Saric from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Court reminded the nation that executive power belongs to the President alone. Not to agencies. Not to boards. Not to faceless lawyers.
The 6-3 decision has detonated the foundation of bureaucratic immunity. Trump can now terminate any commissioner who obstructs reform, dismantle ideological mandates, and reclaim executive control over agencies that have operated like private empires. The ruling sets a precedent that can sweep through every corner of the federal maze — FTC, SEC, NLRB, CDC, FDA, DOE. Hundreds of unelected operators who hid behind the term “independent” are now exposed.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is only the beginning. Nearly 700 positions across Washington fall under the same model. With this judgment, Trump holds the legal weapon he was denied in his first term. The sword is back in his hands.
Inside the Deep State, panic has already begun. For decades, they didn’t need to win elections. They only needed to control who stayed behind. By embedding loyal operatives inside untouchable posts, they guaranteed their agenda survived every presidency. They wrote laws under the cover of regulation. They censored industries through “safety standards.” They shifted policy without ever standing for a vote. That structure is now collapsing.
This decision is not about staffing. It’s about sovereignty. The hidden coup that began ninety years ago has been reversed. The unelected state no longer outranks the elected one. The legal scaffolding that protected the regime is being dismantled piece by piece.
That is why the media is silent. They understand what this means. If Trump uses this authority — and he will — the entire architecture of shadow governance will fall. Agencies that weaponized policy for ideology will be stripped of power. Mandates will be rescinded. Political infiltrators will be removed. The Deep State’s invisible army is finally within reach.
Trump’s second term begins now, with the power he was denied in 2016. The presidency is no longer a cage. It is a command post. He can purge the administrative state, rebuild federal institutions that answer to the people, and restore a government that serves its citizens instead of its masters.
Most Authors Will Get Nothing
A lot of authors are very excited about the announcement of the Anthropic settlement that promises to pay out about $3,000 per work to the authors whose work was pirated.
There’s just one problem: the settlement excludes 92.8 percent of the pirated works, including pretty much all foreign authors, foreign publishers – including Castalia House – and self-published authors. Even worse, there is absolutely no path to legal redress for them in the US courts.
AI Central explains why.
Trump’s Tariffs Overturned
I very much doubt the recent federal appeals court ruling striking down President Trump’s emergency tariffs is going to survive Supreme Court review:
A federal appeals court on Friday struck down President Donald Trump’s use of emergency powers granted by Congress to impose tariffs, opening the door for the administration to potentially have to repay billions worth of duties.
The 7-4 ruling raises doubt about deals Trump has struck with the European Union, Japan, South Korea and other major trading partners to reduce the “reciprocal” tariff rates on their imports, from the levels the administration originally set in April.
“We conclude Congress … did not give the president wide-ranging authority to impose tariffs” of the kind Trump imposed in his sweeping executive orders, the majority wrote.
The ruling also invalidates the tariffs that Trump has imposed on China, Canada and Mexico to pressure those countries to do more to stop shipments of fentanyl and precursor chemicals from entering the United States.
The decision, however, will not take effect until Oct. 14, giving the Trump administration time to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.
The fact is that Congress already delegated the necessary power to the Executive Branch more than 50 years ago. This is why President Trump declared his tariffs to be necessary due to national security concerns, which are considerably more valid than the average “national security concern” that is utilized to justify so many federal government actions.
Historically, Congress set tariffs and maintained tight control over this power. However, over time, particularly after the Great Depression, there was a shift towards delegating some authority to the executive branch. This began with the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, allowing the President to negotiate trade agreements without separate congressional approval each time. Later acts, such as the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974, further evolved this delegated authority. These allowed the President to act on national security concerns through tariffs or respond to unfair foreign trade practices.
And anyhow, all President Trump has to do is declare an “emanation” or a “penumbra” and he’ll be good to go. September promises to be an interesting month in more ways than one.
Above the Law
Punjabis United Against America
While actual Americans are horrified by the needless deaths of a family, the Punjabis are trying to get their fellow Punjabi who was responsible let off the hook for his crimes.
We, the undersigned, urge Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency to re-examine and reduce the sentence for a 28-year-old truck driver involved in a fatal U-turn crash on Florida’s Turnpike in South Florida. This was a tragic accident — not a deliberate act. While accountability matters, the severity of the charges against him does not align with the circumstances of the incident.
Key Considerations & Precedent:
No criminal intent or history: The incident was a catastrophe, not a criminal act. The driver has no prior record and fully cooperated with authorities.Petition Requests:
Consider alternative sentencing options, such as restorative justice measures, counseling, or community service, aligning with both accountability and compassion.Conclusion:
By granting clemency, you would reaffirm the value of proportional justice, the power of community advocacy, and the potential for rehabilitation. We believe this case is not just about one individual—it speaks to the broader principles of fairness and mercy in the justice system.With deep respect and hope,
Collective Punjabi youth.
I suspect Americans would vastly prefer to see the “Collective Punjabi youth” repatriated to India than see their petition honored by Gov. DeSantis.
There is no such thing as a “multiracial nation”. The concept of “multiculturalism” is a lie. There are always and only multiple nations competing for control of a society’s resources, culture, and laws.
Off to Never-Never Land
An high-ranking pedo was not only released and allowed to leave Nevada after being arrested and charged, but was even permitted to flee the country:
A senior Israeli official was arrested in the United States earlier this month and charged with seeking sexual conduct with a minor, only to be released on bail with no conditions or monitoring, allowing him to flee to Israel. The case involving Tom Artiom Alexandrovich in Nevada is now stirring controversy, with politicians and social media commentators accusing the government of interfering in the judicial process to allow the cybersecurity official to return home without facing justice.
Court records from Nevada’s Clark County show that Alexandrovich was charged with luring or attempting to lure a child online to engage in sexual conduct – a felony that carries up to 10 years in jail in the case of a conviction. He was released on a $10,000 bond, but no monitoring appeared to take place.
Richard Davies, a criminal defence lawyer in Nevada, told Al Jazeera that the apparent lack of conditions on Alexandrovich’s release despite the seriousness of the charges was “fishy”.
“Average Joe gets arrested, he would appear in front of the justice of the peace within 24 hours. The justice of the peace in that county would issue bail conditions, which very typically would include a GPS device, restrictions on movement, not being allowed to leave the state,” Davies said.
“So the fact that this individual was not only allowed to leave without an ankle bracelet or a GPS device, not only to leave the state, but also leave the country, is highly unusual and suspect.”
This is why no more dual-nationals can be permitted to vote or hold office anywhere in the world. Whether they are Jewish or Somali, it has been repeatedly demonstrated that the only thing they really care about is their fellow nationals, which most certainly does not mean Americans even when they happen to be U.S. citizens. Dual-nationalism shouldn’t even be legal, and at least in the USA, it’s not even actually law.
If it’s true that the U.S. government was not involved, then Occam’s Razor would focus attention on the nationality of the judge who let the pedo run away to what is apparently a sanctuary zone for child abusers.
Russia Bans International Satanism
The media is portraying this recent judicial action as the banning of a fictitious, imaginary, and non-existent group.
Russia’s highest court has declared the “international satanism movement” an extremist and terrorist group, despite the organization not actually existing. Members of this non-existent group could face up to eight years in prison.
Senior MP Andrei Kartapolov, who heads the Russian parliament’s defense committee, made unverified claims that Western funding was fueling satanism in Russia, posing a “direct threat to Russian statehood.” This ruling by the Kremlin’s Supreme Court on the imaginary movement is the latest in President Vladimir Putin’s series of crackdowns on ideological dissent in Russia.
It follows his characterization of the war in Ukraine as a holy battle against the “satanic” West.
The Prosecutor General’s Office issued a statement describing the non-existent “satanist” group as one “based on extremist ideology, hatred and hostility toward traditional religious confessions.” The fictitious movement was also accused of causing “destruction, damage and desecration” of Russian Orthodox churches.
It would be wise for President Trump to issue an executive order doing the same. I just wonder how long it will take before the media starts shrieking about the banning of this non-existent group being anti-semitic?
Most people don’t realize that China already did this starting back in 2010, although it’s usually just portrayed as a campaign against “Western values”.
Epic Beats Google
I’m not even remotely surprised that Epic won its case against Google over the Play Store. If we’ve learned anything, it’s that the game developers are smarter than the Big Tech guys and all their Silicon Valley lawyers:
A federal appeals court has upheld a jury verdict condemning Google’s Android app store as an illegal monopoly, clearing the way for a federal judge to enforce a potentially disruptive shakeup that’s designed to give consumers more choices.
The unanimous ruling issued Thursday by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals delivers a double-barreled legal blow for Google, which has been waylaid in three separate antitrust trials that resulted in different pillars of its internet empire being declared as domineering scofflaws monopolies since late 2023.
The unsuccessful appeal represents a major victory for video game maker Epic Games, which launched a legal crusade targeting Google’s Play Store for Android apps and Apple’s iPhone app store nearly five years ago in an attempt to bypass exclusive payment processing systems that charged 15% to 30% commissions on in-app transactions.
This is good news. It should make it a lot easier to get apps on the platforms that people prefer to utilize on their phones.
No Defamation
A French court overturns the convictions of two French women:
Two women convicted of defaming French first lady Brigitte Macron by saying she was ‘born a man’ were today sensationally cleared on appeal.
Judges sitting at the Paris Appeal Court on Thursday ruled that Amandine Roy, a 53-year-old clairvoyant, and Natacha Rey, 49 and a blogger, had every legal right to make the sulphurous allegations.
Both had claimed they were subjected to ‘intimidation by the authorities’ as ‘ultra protected’ members of the Paris establishment tried to cover up a ‘state secret’.
Is it not written: the truth shall set you free?
Frankly, I find Brigitte Macron’s attempt to cry defamation to be more convincing on the subject than whatever arguments or evidence the women might have relied upon. I can’t imagine Melania Trump feeling any need to do so.
Clown World has reached a very strange place where it is a crime to observe that a man who insists he is a woman was born a man, and it is also a crime to observe that a woman who insists she is a woman was born a man.
