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…
Color me amongst the dubious of the about-to-be-minted House Democrat majority doing anything reasonable – let alone productive. Democrats Load “Subpoena Cannon” With 85+ Trump Targets: “House Democrats plan to probe every aspect of President (Donald) Trump’s life and work, from family business dealings to the Space Force to his tax returns to possible ‘leverage’…
As we have written for nearly a decade, the global trade market is a patchwork quilt of ridiculous government impositions – warping what should be a flat and level playing field: “‘Trade Wars’ actually aren’t about trade – they are about government trade policy. “If peoples are trading freely, there isn’t a ‘War’ – there’s…
