If justice prevails, then unhinged leftists will probably turn Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota into their latest phony martyr. On the social media platform X on Thursday, Walz had the audacity to insist that he and President Donald Trump "turn the temperature down" amid protests in Minneapolis that have...

President Trump announced today that he is personally suing JPMorgan Chase. The reason? For their completely illegal and unconstitutional DEBANKING of his entire family. BRAVO SIR! BREAKING: President Trump announces he is suing JP Morgan. pic.twitter.com/EYIzs1ToYN — The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) January 17, 2026 FULL TEXT: A front page Article in The Fake News Wall Street Journal states, without any verification, that I offered Jamie Dimon, of JPMorgan Chase, the job of Fed Chairman. This statement is totally untrue, there was never such an offer and, in fact, lil be suing JPMorgan Chase over the next two weeks for incorrectly and inappropriately DEBANKING me after the January 6th Protest, a protest that turned out to be correct for those doing the protesting – The Election was RIGGED! Why wouldn’t The Wall Street Journal call me to ask whether or not such an offer was made? I would have very quickly told them, “NO,” and that would have been the end of the story. Also, one was led to believe that I offered Jamie Dimon the job of Secretary of the Treasury, but that would be one that he would be very interested in. The problem is, I have Scott Bessent doing a fantastic job, A SUPERSTAR — Why would I give it to Jamie? No such offer was made there, or even thought of, either. The Wall Street Journal ought to do better “fact checking,” or its already strained credibility will continue to DIVE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! The move is being praised as courageous and very much needed: This is crazy. Trump announced that he is suing JP Morgan. Very few presidents in history would have the courage for something like this. We might finally get some clarity on what debanking means. pic.twitter.com/B5J2CDxVoT — Brian Rose, Founder & Host of London Real (@LondonRealTV) January 17, 2026 No one should ever be DEBANKED for no reason at all, or for the actual reason being that they don’t like something you said or something you believe. Banking is a basic human right to exist in modern society and these Big Banking THUGS should not have the power to choose who can be in business and who can’t. We should have just let them all go out of business back in 2008, what a massive mistake that was! Meanwhile, they won’t do business with Donald J. Trump but they have no problem bankrolling Jeffrey Epstein!  Per Reuters: A U.S. judge on Thursday approved JPMorgan Chase’s (JPM.N), opens new tab $290 million settlement with women who said Jeffrey Epstein abused them, and that the largest U.S. bank turned a blind eye to the late financier’s sex trafficking. U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff called the deal “a really excellent settlement” that he said could prevent future sex trafficking by alerting banks to the consequences of facilitating transactions linked to it. “This case sent a message through this very substantial settlement that banking institutions … have responsibilities that perhaps were not fully recognized in the past,” the judge said. The deal followed embarrassing disclosures that JPMorgan ignored internal warnings and overlooked red flags about Epstein because he had been a valuable client. Epstein was a JPMorgan client from 1998 to 2013. The bank kept him on even after he was arrested in 2006 on prostitution charges and pleaded guilty two years later. JPMorgan did not admit wrongdoing in agreeing to settle. “This was a fair and just outcome for the nearly 200 survivors who bravely came forward,” a JPMorgan spokesperson said after the hearing.

President Donald Trump plans to impose a new 10% tariff on Denmark and seven other European countries until “a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.” The other 22 nations are not affected and will probably remain silent on the issue of Greenland. It’s divide and conquer. The other countries affected […] The post President Trump to Place Tariff’s on 8 EU Nations Over Greenland appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

The Trump administration’s top auto policy officials on Saturday touted federal efforts to lower car prices by eliminating vehicle emissions regulations, as affordability remains a key concern among Americans. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Environmental Protection Agency head Lee Zeldin and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer toured the annual Detroit Auto Show to wrap up a two-day Midwestern swing that included stops at a Ford truck factory and Stellantis Jeep plant in Ohio on Friday. The administration has aggressively rolled back electric vehicle rules from former President Joe Biden’s administration. Duffy said the rules “will bring car prices down and allow car companies to offer products that Americans want to buy.” He added, “this is not a war on EVs at all … We shouldn’t use government policy to encourage EV purchases all the while penalizing combustion engines.” President Donald Trump is grappling with economic headwinds a year after taking office and ahead of November’s midterm ⁠elections, having campaigned on quickly fixing higher prices for American consumers. Average new car transaction prices hit a record $50,326 in December as Americans bought more pricey trucks and SUVs, research firm Cox Automotive said, while automakers are offering fewer entry-level vehicles. Trump signed legislation last year eliminating a $7,500 EV tax credit, rescinding California’s EV rules and cancelling penalties for automakers not meeting fuel efficiency requirements. Zeldin said the government “should not be forcing, requiring, mandating that the market go in a direction other than what the American consumer is demanding.” Automakers also face steep tariffs imposed by Trump on imported vehicles and parts. Despite the EV policy changes and new tariffs, new U.S. vehicle sales rose 2.4% in 2025 to 16.2 million vehicles. Democrats say auto tariffs and efforts to eliminate EV incentives will harm consumers. But Greer said car prices are trending down and “whatever effects those tariffs may have on various parts of the supply chain, they’re not really getting down to the consumer.” Kathy Harris, director of clean vehicles at environmental activist group NRDC, criticized the administration’s auto policies. “The oil industry will rake in billions more from cash-strapped Americans who can’t afford to spend more to fuel up their car or truck.” In December, the U.S. Department of Transportation proposed rolling back Biden-era fuel efficiency standards that had prodded auto companies to build more EVs to comply. The EPA is also expected to finalize a rule in the coming weeks eliminating vehicle tailpipe emissions requirements. USDOT estimates its proposal would reduce average up-front vehicle costs by $930, but increase fuel consumption by as much as 100 billion gallons through 2050, and cost Americans up to another $185 billion for fuel.

There are no flotillas on the way to save Iran. No Soros-funded “democracy” groups pressuring Western governments to intervene on behalf of civilians who are being arrested and murdered. No astroturfing movement demanding economic boycotts. When college students returned from winter break last week, they didn’t find a single encampment supporting the Iranian uprising against one of the world’s most brutal regimes. Nor are there any emergency meetings or condemnations from the United Nations. Member states were busy denouncing the United States for removing Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro and Israel for its recognition of Somaliland. The more people might be free, the more the U.N. is distressed. Outlets such as the BBC, which spread virtually every fictitious claim about the Gaza “genocide” and “famine” that was handed to them by Hamas propagandists, could barely spare a segment for the widespread protests in Iran. A year ago, Mark Ruffalo, Billie Eilish, Guy Pearce and scores of other moral ignoramuses were seen wearing red and orange pins featuring a hand around a black heart symbol — referencing a Ramallah lynching of two Israeli reservists in 2000 who drove down the wrong street and were literally torn apart by a Palestinian mob. One of the murderers deliriously displayed his blood-soaked hands from the window to a cheering throng. This year, the Golden Globes didn’t feature a single celebrity championing the Iranian people. All the silence is revealing. Not because it’s hypocrisy. It isn’t. It expresses a consistent political position. The progressive Left and woke Right are on the side of the mullahs. There are many reasons for it. The charge of “hypocrisy” against leftist defenders of the mullahs reminds me of the mockery we throw at members of groups such as “Queers for Palestine.” It misses a larger point. The red-green alliance between leftists and political Islamists is nothing new. They have all the same enemies. The press? As Tahmineh Dehbozorgi recently noted, the Western media largely ignore the Iranian uprising “because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the world.” Indeed, Western progressives in the media treat Islam with, at best, a self-destructive moral equivalence or, at worst, reverence. The same people who cover domestic immigration enforcement as a portend to the Fourth Reich treat the Iranian regime, which regularly executes women for crimes against Islam, with kid gloves. This deceptive coverage of political Islam is reminiscent of the Left’s complicity in Stalin’s terror in the 1930s, whitewashed to shield the broader communist cause. Like the Soviet Union, the modern Iranian state is a full-blown totalitarian system. Not merely because it functions under an array of fundamentally illiberal ideas but because it controls virtually every aspect of life, from the spiritual to economic. What’s worse is that the Iranian state is the biggest exporter of this brutal ideology, responsible for at least 1,000 American deaths over the years. Let’s call the Iran-championing “intellectuals” in Washington who would like to see the mullahs obtain nuclear weapons as a bulwark against Israeli regional hegemony the Ben Rhodes faction. The brutality of the regime doesn’t concern them whatsoever. And let’s call the Israel-obsessives on the right the Tucker Carlson faction, who find modern Western ideals, “neocons” and the AIPAC far more offensive and dangerous than the theological fascism of political Islam. A successful revolution against the Shia radicals would almost surely benefit the region. The clerics’ fixation with Israel has little rational geopolitical reasoning. It is theologically motivated, while also useful in deflecting attention away from the regime’s domestic failures. Of course, we don’t know whether this new uprising will succeed or what would happen if it did. This isn’t the first time Iranians have rebelled. Thousands have probably been murdered already. Tens of thousands are in prison. It seems unlikely that an Iranian revolution would succeed without a political or military coup or some external force. The Twelver Shi’ism of the clerics makes them different from the shah or other secular dictators who might be concerned about the lives of their people or their own fortunes. Mullahs would likely rather see the entire country in flames than surrender. Just look at how much needless peril and pain they place themselves and their nation in chasing nuclear weapons. The president is reportedly weighing military options to support the protesters’ efforts to dislodge these murderous fascists. You may support him in this effort or not. But any true champion of human rights is rooting against the mullahs. COPYRIGHT 2026 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.
