Infrastructure
Plan Must Not Succumb to Naïve Free-Trade Mythology
In
a meeting with House and Senate members this week, President Trump was
reportedly surprised to learn that his newly released infrastructure plan
didn’t include any “Buy America” requirements. The president had issued
an executive order last April stating: “It shall be the policy of the
executive branch to buy American and hire American.” Administration staff
writing the initial infrastructure plan appear to have overlooked that order,
however. But an infrastructure package cannot create jobs in the U.S. if it
exports taxpayer dollars to Asia and Europe. Thus, the president’s proposal is
far less strategic than it should be, and the administration should promptly
revise it to incorporate Buy America requirements. [more...]
Volkswagen Making 2018
its Best Year Ever
Volkswagen
has made a great start to 2018. Its sales are up 10% compared to January of
2017. Chief Executive Fred Kappler said that this was the best start for
Volkswagen in its history, with significant growth in all regions. The
auto giant, which owns Porsche, Audi and Skoda, was struggling due to its
diesel emissions scandal which has already cost the company more than $30
billion. But the company seems to have bounced back in spectacular fashion. The
main contributors to the sales boom the German auto maker is experiencing is due
to China, and the SUV. [more...]
The
NRA Wins Because Love is Stronger than Hate
Politico has
a piece headlined, "Why the NRA Always Wins." "Your burning
outrage about the Parkland school massacre is already starting to
flicker," it begins. The assumption is that the "You" who reads
this is also against the 2nd Amendment. Strip away the biased language and it's
true. A movement built on exploiting the occasional crisis to hate guns is
never going to be a match for those whose culture it is. That's always been the
prohibitionist problem. [more...]
Why the Media Fell in
Love with NK’s Kim Yo-Jong
There’s
a pattern in the progressives’ admiration for Castro, Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin,
Chavez, and most recently Kim Jong Un’s sister, the head of propaganda for the
North Korean terror state whom the left’s media lackeys effusively praised
during her appearance at the Olympics. No matter how blood-stained, any tyrant
can be an object of the left’s affection, as long as he or she is on the side
of “revolution” against the hated capitalists and the repressed bourgeoisie.
This century-long love affair explains the endless parade of useful idiots
making pilgrimages to totalitarian hell-holes like Stalin’s Russia, Chavez’s
Venezuela or Castro’s Cuba, there to swoon over the Potemkin heaven on
earth. It also accounts in part for the surreal, cult-like worship of the
tin-pot messiah Barack Obama, whose very trouser crease could thrill the
starry-eyed pundit, whose banal rhetoric could send tingles down the leg of the
most hard-bitten journalist. [more...]
Are Gun Violence
Statistics Overstated?
After
the gun violence and tragic massacre of 17 people in Florida last week, the
Left has been pushing hard to further regulate or eliminate guns and to
diminish the influence of the NRA. Actually, that’s a predictable response from
the Left that includes the old mainstream media and the Democrats. While
acknowledging the tragedy in Florida, let’s look at some gun violence statistics
to put this terrible incident into some perspective. [more...]
