When President Donald Trump was Candidate Donald Trump – he promised a restoration of the US manufacturing sector. Which his predecessor – thankfully-ex-president Barack Obama – dismissed as impossible: “When somebody says – like the person you just mentioned, who I’m not going to advertise for – that he’s going to bring all these jobs…

As we have very often pointed out, the US spent the last half century-plus very stupidly outsourcing our prosperity to the rest of the planet. This has been devastating to the middle class. A vital, once-thriving driver of our once very successful nation – we have spent decades thinning this essential herd to near extinction.…
We are in the midst of a worldwide anti-globalist nationalist movement. The first major move – was Brexit. Great Britain voting three years ago to get the heck out of the ridiculous European Union (EU). And reassert its national primacy and sovereignty on such things as immigration and trade. Up next was the United States’…
The World Trade Organization (WTO): “(I)s the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.” As with nigh all global organizations – much of what the WTO does is unfairly tilted against the United States. (See also: The United Nations.) The WTOs anti-Americanism is oft embodied in how the organization gives…
We are for less government – not no government. I was once on television absurdly accused of wanting the US to be like Wild West-esque Somalia. Not at all.

“The Smart People” have been oh-so-wrong about oh-so-many things regarding Candidate cum President Donald Trump. It is particularly interesting to examine just how wrong The Smart People have been about President Trump’s trade policies. Because it is via his trade policies – that oh-so-many of the Smart People’s dumbnesses have come to further light. Trump…
I am beginning to wonder if Amazon has ever done anything straight-shooting and/or above board – to acquire its massive market dominance and cash cap ($744 billion). Amazon Retail for nearly two decades has submarined and strip mined brick-and-mortar competitors by selling nigh everything during the retail-make-or-break Christmas season – at a loss. Amazon: Nearly…
God bless President Donald Trump and his Administration for all they are doing to protect Intellectual Property (IP) from the world’s wolves. Of course the largest of all the wolves – is China. Trump To Toughen-Up On China’s Intellectual Property Theft Trump Administration Goes after China over Intellectual Property Trump’s Actions Send a Clear Message:…
The Donald Trump Administration has done an excellent job of reinvigorating our economy. The administration has done the very necessary bureaucratic forestry of cutting back much of the regulatory underbrush. And Trump and Republicans passed their tax cuts – which were aimed in no small part at people who hire people. Since they’re about the…
