About the Creator
Mila Joy is a conservative commentator on X (formerly Twitter) known for posting breaking news alerts with a strong partisan slant favoring right-wing narratives. Her style is sensational and accusatory, often portraying judicial decisions as biased against conservative figures. Credibility is low due to frequent exaggeration and lack of neutral sourcing, as seen in her portrayal of Judge Boasberg as a 'partisan hack'.
What's This About?
The post claims Judge James Boasberg ruled that a grand jury cannot access documents on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's alleged overspending of billions in taxpayer funds on headquarters renovations, framing it as protection for Powell. In reality, Boasberg quashed DOJ subpoenas issued under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, ruling they were a pretext to harass Powell into lowering interest rates or resigning amid Trump administration pressure[1][2][3]. Pirro is appealing, calling the judge partisan and arguing it blocks grand jury investigation into false statements and fraud[1][3]. Key themes include accusations of judicial bias, Fed independence, and political weaponization of DOJ probes.
🔥Why It's Trending
This content is trending due to the fresh March 13, 2026, unsealing of Boasberg's ruling, igniting debates on Fed autonomy versus government oversight amid high interest rates and economic tensions[1][2]. Timing coincides with Powell's term nearing expiration in May 2026 and Pirro's immediate appeal announcement, fueling partisan clashes[3]. Relevance spikes as it ties into broader narratives of Trump-era DOJ actions and potential Fed Chair replacement.
💡Fun Facts
- 1Judge Boasberg sarcastically noted DOJ's probe was as thin as investigating Powell for 'mail fraud because someone once saw him send a letter'[1].
- 2The subpoenas targeted a $2.5 billion Fed headquarters renovation, but Boasberg found no evidence of crimes beyond 'displeasing the President'[2][3].
- 3Pirro's office launched the probe last year over Powell's congressional testimony on costs[2].
- 4Boasberg acknowledged no direct precedent but ruled 'a novel improper purpose is improper all the same'[1].
- 5Senator Tillis threatened to block Trump's Fed nominee until the probe ends[3].

If Trump bombs oil fields in Kharg Island or takes control over it. Iran will bomb oil fields and desalination plants in the Middle East. Trump has lost his mind.

AND IT IS ABOUT TO GET REAL UGLY….. America just attacked Irani Kharg Island. Iran supplies 90% of its oil from there. Even though Trump has said that he did not attack any oil facilities but Iran had said in advance that Kharg island was a Red Line for them. Expect this war to take a very ugly turn. Iran will most probably attack all oil refineries in the region. At $64 dollars before the war I had said that if the war happens, oil could cross $100 a barrel easily. IT DID. Now I am saying that if Iran attacks major refineries in the region you can see oil surpassing $150 and above. That would be a point of no return for 70% of the global economy. Global economy can come to an absolute standstill. Trump is pushing the world into an abyss.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Kharg Island is the most important chess piece in this war Trump obliterated every military target on Kharg but deliberately left the oil infrastructure untouched. That was a clear message. Kharg handles roughly 90% of Iran's oil exports. It's where Chinese tankers have been loading millions of barrels even while the Strait of Hormuz stays closed to everyone else. Ten tankers took nearly 19 million barrels from Kharg since the war started. So Iran is blocking the world's oil while still exporting its own. And China is the only customer getting through. Trump is now using Kharg as a hostage. Open the Strait or I'll shut down your exports permanently. Iran has a backup plan. It restarted operations at the port of Jask in the Gulf of Oman, bypassing Hormuz entirely. But Jask can't handle the volume that Kharg does. If Kharg's terminals go dark, Iran's oil revenue collapses. Source: WSJ
