May 3, 2025 ~ 'We Need Cheap Stuff, and Lots of It'
Trump's reaction to Americans unhappy about massive price increases in Chinese goods due to his tariffs is basically, "Suck it up and make due with less." Trump said, "They have ships that are loaded with stuff we do not need. Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally."
"What Trump was ultimately dismissing is abundance, which is one of the marvels of our system. Fewer choices at a greater cost — whether of dolls or other goods — simply means a lower standard of living."
"All of this is off-brand for a President Trump associated with business success and consumerist excess. It’s more natural for him to be boosterish — we are going to have fabulous dolls at better prices! — than to talk people into accepting scarcity."
Apr 28, 2025 ~ 'Trump’s Impossible Trade Policy'
There are too many problems with Trump's trade policy to list in this summary so read the article. If he had just done the original 'reciprocal tariff' idea, it might have been good but what he actually did is a disaster.
Apr 20, 2025 ~ "Tech Giant Commits $500 Billion To Make AI Supercomputers ‘Entirely In The U.S.’"
Clearly influenced by Trump's tariffs, Nvidia announced, “Within the next four years, NVIDIA plans to produce up to half a trillion dollars of AI infrastructure in the United States through partnerships with TSMC, Foxconn, Wistron, Amkor and SPIL.” Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang said, “The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time.” Nvidia said that its Blackwell chips have already started being produced at TSMC’s plant in Arizona, which began producing advanced chips in late 2024.
“Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers, strengthens our supply chain and boosts our resiliency,” Huang added.
Apr 16, 2025 ~ 'Guess What? We’re Already Rich' "Trump is using a defibrillator on a patient who not only passed a stress test with flying colors but is beating everyone else in the 100-yard dash." "If we’ve gotten “ripped off” as President Trump and supporters of the trade war like to say, the supposed thieves have gained little and the purported victim has continued to march ahead."
Apr 5, 2025 ~ 'Trump Has a Point About Other Countries’ Tariffs on Our Goods' This article has a good list of countries and the tariffs they impose on the US. Trump wants 'reciprocal tariffs.' Unfortunately, what Trump did was not that. He implemented tariffs based on trade deficits which makes no sense. The stock market is reacting very badly to the misguided program.
Mar 29, 2025 ~ "‘Tariffs Very Strongly Work’: Trump Announces $21 Billion Hyundai Investment In U.S." "It's the largest investment Hyundai has ever made in the United States." "expected to create nearly 1,500 jobs." Trump racking up the wins just like the first time.
Mar 29, 2025 ~ 'The Trump effect: An unprecedented investment surge and economic renewal' "In the opening weeks of President Trump’s return to office, the United States has seen a surge in direct investment -- estimated at $3 trillion -- from both American companies and international partners. This wave of capital reflects a dramatic return of confidence in the U.S. economy and growing recognition of what is now widely called “The Trump Effect”: a renewal of American strength, productivity, and potential. Central to this resurgence is President Trump’s bold tariff strategy, which reasserted American leverage on the global stage, protected domestic industries, and created the conditions for this economic juggernaut to emerge.
The scale of this investment is historic. Technology and manufacturing have received a remarkable boost, with Apple ($500 billion), Nvidia ($100 billion+), SoftBank with OpenAI and Oracle ($100 billion), and Taiwan Semiconductor ($100 billion) committing over $800 billion to U.S.-based innovation." See article for similar investments across many other industries.
Mar 29, 2025 ~ "Egg Prices Plummet After Trump Admin Implements ‘Five-Point Plan’" 2 weeks after Trump took office, Democrats poked fun saying, "Egg prices are still high! You wasted your vote." They skyrocketed 237% under Biden but are already down 63% under Trump.
Mar 23, 2025 ~ 'JD Vance: Businesses That ‘Invest in America‘ Will Be Rewarded' "Vance spoke about how the Trump administration’s “goal is to make it easier and more affordable to make things again” in the U.S. President Trump has been clear about his plan, about our administration’s plan — our goal is to make it easier and more affordable to make things again in the United States of America. If you invest in America, in American jobs, in American workers and in American businesses, you’re going to be rewarded. We’re going to cut your taxes, we’re going to slash regulations, and we’re going to reduce the cost of energy and build things right here in this country that all of us love. But, if you try to undercut us and build outside of our borders, President Trump’s administration has got nothing for you. If you want to be rewarded, build in America. If you want to be penalized, build outside of America. It’s as simple as that.”
Mar 15, 2025 ~ Victor Davis Hanson explaining how Trump uses tariffs effectively: Donald Trump’s Tariff Diplomacy Is Working President Donald Trump is not using tariffs for their historical purpose, which is to protect and promote domestic industry. Instead, Trump, as Victor Davis Hanson argues, is using tariffs to hold countries, like Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and China, accountable. And it’s working. On this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Hanson dispels the Left’s hysteria over President Trump’s tariff policies: “So, if you take Venezuela and Colombia, he's saying that ‘you people deliberately emptied your jails and you sent them to the United States—sent them being felons—violent felons. And you're not going to do that anymore’. And they said, ‘we're not taking them back’. He said, ‘you're going to take them back, or I'm going to put a tariff’. So, it was a lever of diplomacy, and it worked. They backed down completely.”
Dec 9, 2024 ~ 'The Milei Revolution' "Between 1980 and 2023, Argentina was one of the few countries in the West that saw a relative decrease in living standard."
"Finally, the Argentine people had enough. They elected as president Javier Milei, an audacious and magnetic Austrian school economist dedicated to free markets. 'Viva la libertad, carajo!' he shouted while wielding a chainsaw -- signifying proposed cuts to government spending -- on the campaign trail. As Milei told the arrogant interventionists at Davos, 'Economic freedom, limited government and unlimited respect for private property are essential elements for economic growth. The impoverishment produced by collectivism is not a fantasy, nor is it an inescapable fate. It's a reality that we Argentines know very well.'"
"And the results are nothing short of astonishing. While shouting 'afuera!' he has cut the number of ministries from 18 to eight, fired members of the bloated public sector en masse and dumped the corrupt intermediaries in the welfare system. He has slashed the budget by 32%, brought a fiscal surplus for the first time in years, and brought inflation down from a month-on-month rate of 25% to 2%. The stock market has skyrocketed; investors are once again looking at Argentina as a target for their money."
Oct 29, 2024 ~ 'Dead Wrong Again -- Nobel Economists Put Partisanship Over Economic Common Sense' Stephen Moore destroys economists who say Harris is better for the economy than Trump. They are the same ones who predicted economic disaster for Trump's first term. Same ones that praised Hugo Chavez. Same ones who said Biden's policies would not cause inflation. Total clowns with zero credibility.
Oct 28, 2024 ~ "‘I’ve Got The Easiest Job In American Politics’: JD Vance Primes Rally Crowd For Trump At MSG"
"My friends, I’ve got the easiest job in American politics. Think about this: All I’ve gotta do is remind people what life was like when Donald J. Trump was President of the United States. We had PEACE, we had PROSPERITY. Take home pay was rising the fastest that it had in 40 YEARS. Inflation was at 1.5%, the lowest that it had been in a generation. Gas and groceries were affordable. And when Donald Trump was president, we had the most secure border in the history of this country."
Sep 7, 2024 ~ "Net Zero: 'Totally Crazy Weather Roulette'" Germany plans to charge more for electricity on cloudy days to help compensate for getting less electricity on cloudy days. This cannot be the future anyone wants. Business already say this won't fly.
Sep 2, 2024 ~ 'No, illegal immigration does not help the U.S. economy' Article debunks a common Dem talking point. "54% of illegals were receiving handouts vs. 39% of U.S citizens."
"Compared to households headed by the U.S.-born, immigrant-headed households have especially high use of food programs (36% vs. 25% for the U.S.-born), Medicaid (37% vs. 25% for the U.S.-born), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (16% vs. 12% for the U.S.-born)." Source: Center for Immigration Studies
May 25, 2024 ~ 'Joe Biden’s Terrible Tax Hikes' Biden plans to let Trump's TCJA expire. That will undo all of this: "Annual tax revenue increased by 1.1 trillion from 2018 to 2023, a whopping 33% rise. Wages for millions of Americans surged, with more than 400 companies announcing bonuses, new hires, or new investments in the United States." "Over $1.5 trillion was repatriated to the United States from overseas."
Mar 19, 2024 ~ 'Larry Summers: Inflation Much Worse Than Government Says' "We show that if we make an effort to reconstruct the CPI of Okun’s era—which would have had inflation peak last year around 18%, we are able to explain 70% of the gap in consumer sentiment we saw last year."
Mar 17, 2024 ~ Democrats and all of the usual #FakeNews outlets are running with the headline that Trump said there is "going to be a bloodbath" if he is not elected. Heard in context, he was clearly referring to what will happen to the car manufacturing industry. The #FakeNews never changes.
Oct 29, 2023 ~ John Kerry is pushing for a “climate losses and damages fund” funded mostly by the US of course with the world's biggest emitter of CO2, China exempt. These transfer payments will have no effect on climate. "These climate reparations are nothing more than a global shakedown orchestrated by those who live under the fallacy that money changes weather."
Oct 6, 2023 ~ Biden posts a graphic showing his alleged "job creation" several times higher than almost all presidents since Reagan and shows Trump's job creation as negative. This is one of the most dishonest political claims of all time. Absent the pandemic which was out of Trump's control, Trump's economy and job creation was far better than Biden's. And most of Biden's "job creation" was people RETURNING to the workforce after a MANDATORY shutdown.
Sep 18, 2023 ~ Ryan Mills, "California EV Rules ‘Totally Impractical,’ Truckers Say; May as Well ‘Build a Spaceship and Go to Mars’" All of these many problems were forseeable by all but Democrat politician pinheads. The US needs to route supply chains around CA fast.
Aug 20, 2023 ~ Steve Moore, 'Michigan Is Headed Back to Rust Belt Poverty' Dems repealed "right to work" laws. This bill will not only take away the right to choose from Michigan workers, but it will also do great damage to the state's economy. States that have "right to work" laws create jobs at almost twice the pace of states with forced union policies. Many businesses won't even consider locating a new factory or blue-collar operation in a forced union state. The auto jobs in America will now accelerate their move to the Southern states, which happen to be "right to work."
Aug 13, 2023 ~ "'Bidenomics' Has Been a Disaster" "The president and his allies had far more to do with destroying jobs than creating them... Approximately 10 million of the jobs that Biden now brags about overseeing are just people coming back to the workforce after state-compelled lockdowns." He also did nothing to reduce inflation beyond fed policies. He tried to make it worse but was stopped by the 2 sane people in his party.
Aug 3, 2023 ~ Fitch Ratings has downgraded the United States of America's Default Rating to AA+ from AAA. The Biden admin. blames Trump. The US is $32 Trillion in debt and all the Democrats can talk about is spending more. They would have spent far more were it not for JUST 2 sane Democrats.
Oct 17, 2022 ~ Brian C. Joondeph, 'The National Debt Elephant in the Room' "Each % increase of the federal funds rate translates into over $300 billion in annual interest payments." "There are no good solutions." Printing money causes more inflation, higher interest.
Sep 9, 2022 ~ Bjorn Lomborg, "We need to calm down on climate. We need to stop wasting trillions achieving almost nothing."
Sep 6, 2022 ~ Fox Business, "Experts blame green energy policies for Europe's full-scale energy crisis: 'A warning to the US'" 'There's been under-investment in fossil fuels in Europe,' an analyst from research firm Rystad Energy tells FOX Business. Europe is paying for their 'green' policies.
Sep 6, 2022 ~ White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, "We have created nearly ten thousand million jobs since President Biden took office, which is the fastest job growth in history." That is 10 billion jobs. Fact check: False. #FakeNews
Aug 28, 2022 ~ John Hayward 'Russia Burning Off $10M in Gas a Day That Would Have Been Sent to Europe' "The Russians are burning 4.34 million cubic meters of gas... destroying enough fuel to supply 1.5 million European homes." The Europeans harmed themselves and the CO2 is being emitted anyway!
Aug 22, 2022 ~ Kevin Williamson 'Real Trouble' "The labor-force-participation rate; the share of Americans who either have a job or are looking for one - continues to decline. We have a growing population but a shrinking workforce." "Real incomes have been declining significantly for some time"
Aug 20, 2022 ~ Steven Nelson, @nypost, 'Biden, WH claims US has ‘zero inflation’ despite annual rate remaining 8.5%' "Today we received news that our economy had 0 percent inflation in the month of July." Not even his usual accomplices in the #FakeNews wanted to provide cover for this lie.
Aug 18, 2022 ~ To illustrate how ridiculous the $7500 EV Tax Credit the government just passed is, as soon as they passed it, Fort raised the price of an electric truck by $8500. Just like colleges, not students are the beneficiaries of student loans, car companies not consumers benefit here.
Aug 18, 2022 ~ President Biden signs the ridiculously named Inflation Reduction Act into law. Everyone including the non-partisan CBO admit it will do nothing to reduce inflation. It wastes $750 billion on "climate change" but will also do nothing for the climate. It adds 87000 IRS agents.
Aug 3, 2022 ~ Victor Davis Hanson, 'Why We Lost Trust in the Expert Class' Good list of fake stories pushed on us by the so called experts. All the countries that destroyed their economy or energy and food security by buying into the Green narrative. Covid lies. Economists, generals, intel ops
Jul 29, 2022 ~ David Harsanyi, "The Dems' New Proposal Does Nothing To Lower Inflation" "The bill also dumps another $369 billion into green boondoggles, which also acts as a slush fund for Democrats." Fighting inflation with big spending is like fighting a fire with a flame thrower.
Jul 28, 2022 ~ The US is officially in a recession. 2 consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. The Democrats simply redefine the word 'recession' to avoid admitting it. The #FakeNews plays along. Even Wikipedia changes the definition for them! We live in an Orwellian dystopia at this point.
Jul 19, 2022 ~ Max Keating, 'California’s New Pro-Union Law Could Grind The Supply Chain To A Halt' "California truckers are protesting against AB 5, a new regulation that would reclassify them as employees rather than independent contractors." They are killing the independent truckers.
Jul 17, 2022 ~ Clarice Feldman, "Sri Lanka learned a sad lesson - mandated “organic farming” proved a horrible disaster. Ghana also face starvation and national collapse as a result of green policies... Farmers in the Netherlands are striking in protest of equally unworkable green mandates."
Jul 16, 2022 ~ Sri Lanka has fallen. Its President had to flee the country. Destroyed via Modern Monetary Theory. Bankrupted themselves with debt and 55% inflation. Got an ESG score of 98 by banning fertilizer and pesticides. Major food shortages. Democrats want to follow right off the cliff.
Jul 16, 2022 ~ Jonathan Lesser, 'New York’s Climate Virtue-Signaling Will Condemn Millions to Energy Poverty' "The 2019 Climate Act’s zero-emissions mandates are infeasible, and the resulting reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions will not improve world climate." Would create massive hardships.
Jul 16, 2022 ~ Stephen Moore, 'How Angela Merkel's Green Agenda Caused the Economic Collapse of Germany' Merkel used to be praised for shutting down nuclear and moving away from fossil fuels toward "green" energy. "Today, the German economy is in tatters." Begging Russia for energy. Rationing.
Jul 16, 2022 ~ Sen. Manchin, one of 2 sane Democrat Senators, kills the climate change part of BBB bill. He understands it is unaffordable, will fuel inflation and most importantly would do nothing to make the climate any better. The rest of the Dems are apololyptic: “We’re all going to die”
Jul 15, 2022 ~ Biden's trip abroad is a predicable disaster. First he fellates the Saudis begging for more oil because he stupidly shut down our own production, screwing consumers to appease green whackos. Then he insults multiple of our allies by comparing the Irish to the Palestinians.
Jul 13, 2022 ~ Inflation sets new 40+ year record. 9.1%
Jul 5, 2022 ~ Howard Husock, "Does Affirmative Action in Mortgage Lending Really Help Black Americans?" Short answer: No it hurts them and this is how we got the 2008 financial crisis. Lowering all kinds of standards like credit score, down payment, income req's that existed to reduce risk.
Jul 5, 2022 ~ Now they are back to blaming Putin for gas prices. When asked how long will this last, Biden said, "As long as it takes, so Russia cannot in fact defeat Ukraine." Biden Advisor Brian Deese added "This is about the future of the Liberal World Order and we have to stand firm."
Jul 5, 2022 ~ The Biden Administration is switching from the lie that high gas prices are Putin's fault to blaming gas stations for the price! "Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now," he yells. Economically ignorant.
Jun 26, 2022 ~ Kevin Williamson, 'Here Comes Fiscal Armageddon' "Fiscal Armageddon is what will happen when the U.S. government’s debt load exceeds its ability to comfortably service that debt." Will be spending more to service debt than anything else. Gov't will choose easy option, inflation.
May 22, 2022 ~ Dillon Burroughs, 'New Study Reveals Florida And GOP-Led States Dominate COVID-19 Best Responses; Democrat-Led States Rank Among Worst' "The Report Card on the States measures and compares state performance on three metrics: the economy, education, and mortality from the virus."
Apr 18, 2022 ~ Fedex Founder Fred Smith, "Had we passed the Build Back Better bill that Biden wanted, my guess is that we would be Weimar Germany right now. We'd have 25% inflation rather 9% or 10%." There were only two sane Democrat Senators left to save the country.
