by Rachel Gearhart Something crossed my desk recently that made me stop and pay attention. The man known as America’s Economist – a former CIA analyst with connections to multiple Presidents including Clinton, Bush, and Trump – just bought 10,000 shares of a small $5 stock. It’s not a stock many Americans have heard of. But this connected economist learned the company is in a unique position as the SOLE American provider of one critical resource. And he believes the White House may take a large stake in the company. This is important. Over the past year, the U.S. government has started backing companies tied to critical resources and national security. And when those announcements come, stocks have moved fast. Sometimes in days. For example, when the Trump Administration took a stake in Trilogy Metals, the stock jumped 388% in just 8 days. That’s why “America’s Economist” immediately bought shares. He’s clearly anticipating a big move. So he recorded a short presentation explaining what he’s seeing right now – and why those close to or in retirement may want to look at this company very closely before it becomes headline news. You can watch it here… But do it fast. Because, based on what I’ve seen, the window to benefit from situations like this is usually short.

A bill introduced in the South Carolina Legislature would remove the religious exemption for the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine to attend public schools. The bill, filed by state Sen. Margie Bright Matthews (D-Colleton), would require documented proof of the MMR vaccine or a valid medical exemption. The legislation has been directed to the Committee on Medical Affairs. S.897 reads: A BILL TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY AMENDING SECTION 44-29-180, RELATING TO VACCINATION AND IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS OF SCHOOL PUPILS AND DAY CARE CENTER CHILDREN, SO AS TO REMOVE THE RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FOR THE MMR VACCINE FOR CHILDREN ATTENDING PUBLIC SCHOOLS; BY AMENDING SECTION 59-8-110, RELATING TO EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP TRUST FUND DEFINITIONS, SO AS TO DEFINE AN ELIGIBLE STUDENT AS ONE WHO HAS HAD A MMR VACCINE OR A MEDICAL EXEMPTION; BY AMENDING SECTION 59-41-20, RELATING TO CHILDREN ELIGIBLE FOR GRANTS, SO AS TO INCLUDE A REQUIREMENT THAT AN ELIGIBLE CHILD HAS A MMR VACCINE OR MEDICAL EXEMPTION; AND BY ADDING SECTION 59-101-600 SO AS TO MANDATE A PERSON MUST HAVE A MMR VACCINE TO ATTEND A PUBLIC INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING.

WJCL wrote: This comes as the Upstate outbreak reaches 933 total cases, according to the South Carolina Department of Public Health. The latest data reports 13 new cases since Friday, Feb. 6. More than 90% of cases from the South Carolina outbreak were in unvaccinated people. The majority are unvaccinated children. “We have a solution for a problem,” says Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. “Not all illnesses are equally dangerous, and not all people are equally susceptible to those illnesses. But measles is one you should get your vaccine.” “South Carolina just dropped a bill to remove the religious exemption for the MMR vaccine, eliminating exemptions for kids in childcare, school, or college. Why? Because there’s a measles outbreak in Spartanburg County. About 95% of the cases are happening there,” The HighWire wrote. “But here’s what they’re not telling you: That same county just did a massive vaccination push. They vaccinated over 1,200 kids aged 6 months to 11 months. The MMR vaccine is a live virus. About 7% of kids who get it will develop a rash and fever, which meets the clinical definition of measles. And those vaccinated kids? They can spread it,” it continued. Dawn Richardson, who is the Director of Advocacy for the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), joined The HighWire to discuss the situation in South Carolina. According to The HighWire, Richardson said: “Here’s the question everyone should be demanding an answer to: Are we seeing a wild-type measles outbreak, or are we seeing vaccine-strain measles spreading from the 1,200 kids they vaccinated? They’re not testing. They’re not distinguishing between wild-type and vaccine-strain. They’re not advertising whether they’re even checking. This is a highly imperfect vaccine. It doesn’t stop subclinical spread. It will not – and CANNOT – ever produce herd immunity. That’s just the reality. But instead of acknowledging that, they’re deflecting and blaming the unvaccinated. And now they want to eliminate religious exemptions and mandate the MMR for everyone. 1,200 kids vaccinated. Then an outbreak in the same county. And the solution is to vaccinate MORE kids and remove exemptions? The story is in the nuance. The vaccine is live. The vaccine can cause measles symptoms. The vaccinated can spread it. And they’re not testing to distinguish. But they’ll try to take away your right to refuse it anyway. This is how policy gets made. Crisis. Reaction. Mandate. Don’t let it slide this time…” Watch the breakdown: SOUTH CAROLINA: THEY VACCINATED 1,200 KIDS. THEN THE OUTBREAK HAPPENED.

Because there's a measles outbreak in… pic.twitter.com/MYYqCKB9GY — The HighWire (@HighWireTalk) February 18, 2026 South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who is running for governor, condemned the proposed legislation. “This bill goes too far. Since 2020, we’ve seen a concerted push to curtail personal liberty in the name of health and safety. Eliminating religious exemptions and mandating medical decisions by force is not who we are as a state or country,” Wilson said in a statement earlier this month. “The right to be free from compelled bodily intrusion is at the heart of the American experiment. Government should not substitute its judgment for parents, families, or individual conscience. Encouragement is not coercion. Personal freedom and parental rights must come first. As Attorney General, I will always stand for liberty, families, and the Constitution,” he continued.

Oh my goodness…. After the Supreme Court ruled against President Trump today (and quite frankly, against America) President Trump just came right out and said it. He essentially just claimed he has evidence the Supreme Court is compromised by foreign actors, adding “You’re going to find out” when asked what he will do about it. Watch here: OH SHIZZLES. President Trump suggests he will expose there is foreign influences over SCOTUS Q: Do you have evidence of that? Will you investigate that? TRUMP: You’re gonna find out.https://t.co/wA7PEPxG6v https://t.co/QJSMIytPYj pic.twitter.com/vDKj9r2u7j — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) February 20, 2026 Backup here since X/Twitter has been down all day: I can’t wait!

Clarence Thomas is a real one. I wish we could clone 8 more of him. Because this is a true and authentic analysis that actually holds up to Constitutional scrutiny.

I join JUSTICE KAVANAUGH’s principal dissent in full. As he explains, the Court’s decision today cannot be justified under the text, history, or precedent of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). I write separately to emphasize that IEEPA’s delegation of power to impose duties on imports complies with the nondelegation doctrine. Congress delegated to the President a version of the same power that it has delegated to him in many statutes since the early days of the Republic. The Nondelegation Doctrine The Constitution vests “[a]ll legislative Powers” in Congress. Art. I, §1. But “the nondelegation doctrine does not prevent Congress from obtaining the assistance of its co-ordinate Branches.” Mistretta v. United States, 488 U. S. 361, 372 (1989).Rather, it prohibits Congress from delegating its “core legislative power”—the power to make substantive rules that deprive individuals of life, liberty, or property—to another branch without an intelligible principle to guide the exercise of that authority. See Gundy v. United States, 588 U. S. 128, 157–158 (2019) (Gorsuch, J., dissenting). Tariff Authority and Executive Discretion Tariff authority is not “core legislative power” in the sense that triggers strict nondelegation scrutiny. From the earliest days of the Republic, Congress has delegated broad authority over tariffs and duties to the Executive in foreign affairs contexts. Act of May 1, 1810, ch. 39, §4, 2 Stat. 605: Authorizing the President to suspend restrictions on trade with foreign nations under certain conditions. Act of Jan. 10, 1815, ch. 22, 3 Stat. 195: Authorizing the President to impose retaliatory duties. These delegations reflect the understanding that the President, as the Nation’s chief diplomat and commander in chief, possesses significant discretion in conducting foreign relations, including economic aspects intertwined with national security and foreign policy. IEEPA and Historical Practice IEEPA fits comfortably within this tradition. It authorizes the President, upon declaring a national emergency in response to an “unusual and extraordinary threat” from abroad, to “regulate . . . importation or exportation” of property involving foreign interests. 50 U. S. C. §1702(a)(1)(B). Imposing duties (tariffs) is a traditional means of regulating importation, as historical practice and precedent confirm.   See Fed. Energy Admin. v. Algonquin SNG, Inc., 426 U. S. 548 (1976) (upholding presidential authority to “adjust . . . imports” to include monetary charges); United States v. Yoshida Int’l, Inc., 526 F. 2d 560 (CCPA 1975) (upholding similar authority under TWEA, IEEPA’s predecessor). Justice Gorsuch’s interpretation of two “early congressional debates” as limiting tariff delegations is thus difficult to reconcile with what early Congresses actually did. Congress repeatedly granted the Executive broad discretion over import duties in response to foreign threats or to advance foreign policy objectives. Conclusion The Court’s application of the major questions doctrine here is likewise misplaced in the foreign affairs context, where Congress has long granted the President latitude to respond to unpredictable international crises. IEEPA embodies such a grant—eyes wide open—without the micromanagement that the majority now demands. For these reasons, and those stated by Justice Kavanaugh, I respectfully dissent. (Note: Justice Thomas’s opinion is relatively brief and joins Justice Kavanaugh’s longer principal dissent in full. The primary dissenting analysis appears in Kavanaugh’s opinion, which Thomas and Alito joined. Thomas’s separate writing focuses on nondelegation and historical delegations in foreign affairs.)
