Steve Hayes @stevekhayes.bsky.social · 07/06/2025The escalation of ICE raids is by design. The regime is looking for an opportunity to provoke a resistance and suspend rights broadly under a national emergency declaration. The narrative will be “deranged leftist anti-police lunatics are trying to intimidate law enforcement from doing their jobs” 011

Steve Hayes @stevekhayes.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Many Americans are being distracted by the vague use of the term “due process,” not constitutional rights—The 5th and 6th Amendments guarantee the right to be informed of charges, face your accuser, and defend yourself. “Due process” isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a foundation of freedom in America 031
Steve Hayes @stevekhayes.bsky.social · 05/05/2025He’s quoting the commodities price of gasoline - either from incompetence of his staff or willful deception (or both).

Steve Hayes @stevekhayes.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Fiscal policy demands stability, and long-term trust, none of which exist when executive actions ignite uncertainty at home & abroad.

Steve Hayes @stevekhayes.bsky.social · 21/04/2025The simplistic false narrative of trade deficits on their own being “bad”, is beginning to lose traction to justify continuing market disruptions.
