Tariffs are Working, to the Consternation of the Economics Profession
By Jeff Ferry, Chief Economist

The New Year dawns on an America where many manufacturing sectors are in a state of aggressive growth. The evidence from the American heartland is clear. The Trump administration tariffs are working. These companies are examples of a broader trend. As we’ve reported before, U.S. steel companies are investing some $13 billion in new steelmaking or mills across the US. Around a dozen solar panel and solar cell manufacturers are following First Solar’s example and launching U.S.-based production. Frustrated by the flow of good economic news, the economics profession looks for other means to wage their religious war against tariffs. [more...]


Is There a Truth-Telling Trend on the Horizon?
By Karen Kataline

Ricky Gervais is currently the toast of flyover country for his scathing rebuke of Hollywood hypocrisy at The Golden Globe Awards. Many of us had stopped watching those self-congratulatory lecture-fests a long time ago, but the video of his opening monologue is everywhere. In a country that has stood as a beacon to the rights and traditions of free expression, it has been heartbreaking to see how much courage is required by an individual these days, simply to tell the truth as he or she sees it. Of course, that’s only if it doesn’t comport with Leftist orthodoxy.  America has become the land of the freely offended and the home of the brave new world where the same "creatives" who formerly prided themselves on thinking "outside the box" are now the first ones to try put you in that box. The Left has cheered our enemies and trashed our country one too many times and it looks like everyday Americans are ready for the fight. Is this the beginning of a trend? Let’s congratulate Gervais and start telling our own truth louder and more often than ever. [more...]


The Trump Doctrine in Real Time
By James Hirsen

The mainstream news and entertainment media are once again in a frenzy trying to figure out what just happened on the world stage and how they can make the latest Trump victory look like a loss. The president does not expect to receive accolades for his successes from those who have hated him from the start. No credit given for the safe return of hostages, no singing his praises for facilitating the meet-up between North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and South Korea’s Moon Jae-in, no congrats for making changes in trade policy that resulted in better deals for average working folks, and on and on.

The Outlaw Left and the Roaring 2020s
By Lowell Ponte

Historians called the 1920s the "Roaring Twenties" because this decade's Prohibition was intended to end the evils of alcoholism. Instead, it led to big-city mobsters supplying illicit alcohol, and to a widespread breakdown of obedience and respect for law. As the 2020s dawn, the left intends to make this new decade one that could end respect for the law - and perhaps end law and order as we know it. [more...]


How a Small Group of American Citizens Exposed Terror and Antisemitism in Boston

Ilya I. Feoktistov's new book, TERROR in the Cradle of Liberty: How Boston Became a Center for Islamic Extremism tells a harrowing story of uncovering Muslim terror organizations in Boston. What's even scarier is how the media and community organizations wanted to look the other way.  [more...]
