Angry at Trump's Tariffs, China Threatens to Ban Hollywood
By Greg Rabidoux, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Author & Cultural Commentator
It's not the first time and it won't be the last. But I don't blame Xi Jinping; I blame Biden.
Back in the days before everything you picked up had a
"Made in China" label, China admired Hollywood. Mao's Communist
propagandists openly marveled at Hollywood's technology, admired its
storytelling prowess, and lusted at its power to shape popular culture. But
they also feared Hollywood's hedonism. Today, Xi Jinping is simply continuing
the ancient Chinese tradition of deception and manipulation. They ban Hollywood
movies when it suits them, agree to "fair reciprocal cinematic trade"
when it suits them, and then break both when it serves their greater Communist
good. [more...]
On Tariffs and Trade – A Tale of Two Empires
By Todd Sheets , Author of 2008: What Really Happened
We all know by now, China and the U.S. have become embroiled in
a major trade war. In this post, we’ll discuss a tale of two authoritarian
empires – the Soviet Union and China. Our goal will be to understand how we
ended the Cold War by brilliantly defeating the Soviets without, as Margret
Thatcher put it, having to fire a bullet - even as we made a series of
miscalculations that allowed China to rise from the ash heap of its own
failures to challenge us anew. In addition, we’ll look closely at the real
source of the cheap labor pool China’s communist party has exploited to fund its
rise on the global stage. Let’s begin by briefly reviewing how we defeated the
Soviet Union and then we’ll turn to China. [more...]
It’s Great to Be “Made in America” Again - Trump’s Tariff Play is
Smart, Strategic, and Already Working
By Judd Dunning, Talk Show Host, Bestselling Author
President Trump’s latest pledge to slap broad tariffs on foreign
imports has elites in Brussels, Beijing, and even Washington predicting
catastrophe. They couldn’t be more wrong. In reality, Trump’s tariff play is a
smart and strategic move – one that’s already showing results for American
workers and our economy. We’ve seen this movie before. When Trump first imposed
tariffs on Chinese goods and steel imports in his first term, the establishment
pundits and Obama-era economists wailed about impending trade wars and
recession. Instead, the opposite happened. [more...]
Trump is Just Doing What Numerous Presidents Promised to Do
By Robert Spencer, Author of Antisemitism: History and Myth
And he's enraged the Left by actually doing it when they issue empty promises.
To hear
Democrats tell it, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a
monumental crime against the American people, who simply have to have a
bloated, wasteful federal bureaucracy confiscating a significant portion of
their income, or they simply cannot survive. Reality is, as is always the case
when it comes to the left, different. In reality, Donald Trump and Elon Musk
aren’t doing anything that numerous other presidents haven’t promised to do.
The difference here is that Trump’s promises weren’t empty. [more...]
An Upside-Down World Foolishly Protests DOGE, Tariffs
By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America
There was once a time when a new U.S. presidential
administration would be granted a “honeymoon period” to set an agenda and
establish new policies. Not so for President Donald Trump. Instead, the knives
were being drawn even before his first inauguration in 2017, and guns were
being drawn before his second term electoral victory in November 2024. But
behind these battle lines, Trump’s enemies are losing the war. Protests
against Elon Musk and Donald Trump reveal the false and disingenuous nature of
this "hands off" movement. In protest movements, it is important
to differentiate between the ringleaders - those who want radical change and
destruction - and the rank-and-file sign-carriers, who get used by the
ringleaders to project numbers and the image of popular support. [more...]
Dems Rally for ‘Non-Violent’ ‘Palestinian’ Columbia Student Who
Writes About Collecting Bombs
By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies
Now that a judge ruled that Columbia U’s Mahmoud Khalil can be
deported, and Momodou Taal who urged taking a cue for Hamas has self-deported,
Democrats and the media are swarming to defend another one of these foreign
students being shoved to the exit. Mohsen Mahdawi, also of Columbia U,
presumably anticipating his own ‘Shalom’ message, went off to an immigration office
in Vermont in the hopes of getting ‘naturalized’, instead he was asked to leave
America. Mahdawi told ‘60 Minutes’ that he could empathize with the Hamas
atrocities of Oct 7. He also wrote a poem celebrating a terrorist that
contained the words, “I will breathe home / And fill my shame / And clean my
gun / And collect my packages, my bombs / And embrace my gun.” This won’t stop
Democrats or the media from fighting for him because this is what they support.

Imports Show Near-Zero Growth Month Over Month as Tariff Reset
Begins
By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America
Imports did not vanish, but their growth rate was flat at zero
percent in February compared to January after nearly two months of importers
rushing in orders ahead of tariffs. February goods and services imports were
$401 billion, a statistically insignificant change from January, the Bureau of
Economic Analysis said. On the goods side, U.S. imports fell slightly from
$328.9 billion worth of goods in February versus $329.4 billion in January.
These figures include crude oil; but crude oil imports were about the same in
February and January at $13.9 billion, respectively. [more...]
