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 […]

President Donald Trump has been working towards less government in as many trade deals as he can (re)negotiate. Florida Republican Congressman Ted Yoho and his bipartisan compatriots remind us Trump’s Zero-Zero-Zero trade policy – zero tariffs, zero import limits and zero subsidies – is just as excellent for traded commodities as it is for traded […]

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 federal government is this year spending a grotesquely obscene $4.4 trillion.  I’d like us to be somewhere between a grotesquely obscene $4.4 trillion – and […]

So much of the “news” “reporting” – and the thinking of ‘The Smart People’ – on agriculture here in the US has a similar pall cast upon it. These Swamp Creatures allege President Donald Trump has been atrocious to – and for – our farmers.  They then – in shocked and stunned fashion – again […]

“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’m not a globalist.  I’m a nationalist.  Why? Because I can only live in one nation at a time.  And I’d like the leaders of that nation to do what’s best for that nation.  Because I’m living in it.  And they’re (allegedly) representing it. I live in America.  I vote in American elections.  To elect […]
