Trump Can Do the Impossible - Simultaneously Strengthen America's Financials and Its National Security

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

The implications of President Trump's Executive Order "A Plan for Establishing a United States Sovereign Wealth Fund," are revolutionary. What is likely to be unveiled soon is a masterful plan that will add tremendous wealth to the asset side of the U.S fiscal ledger. In fact, it will strengthen the U.S. balance sheet, adding the value of enormous previously undeclared natural resource assets to offset the $36+ trillion in national debt liability. And it will strengthen U.S. defensive capabilities and war deterrence by restoring the posture of being able to sustainably project unquestioned superior U.S. military power. [more...]

India's Zero-for-Zero Reciprocal Tariff Offer Must be a Non-Starter

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

Trump said he has dozens of trade talks going on. India says it's ready to go to zero tariffs on key items like car parts and steel. Here is why this is a non-starter. Tariff reciprocity was always a terrible idea. India, home to 607 million workers making around $550 per month in mid-level manufacturing jobs, would happily replace American steel workers and high-paid pharmaceutical lab workers in a zero-for-zero trade deal. A top paid laboratory technician in India makes about $35,000 a year. That’s a small fortune in India. The U.S. is mainly reliant on India for generic drugs today. Their labs lead in FDA recalls and are often subject to Warning Letters and import bans, which are rare largely due to the fact that the FDA does not want to risk supply. The U.S. must not sacrifice the chance to rebuild industrial capacity in exchange for another empty trade promise to import more American goods, as if these promises will actually materialize. [more...]

The Democrats Just Can't Stop Pushing Nonsensical Assault Weapon Bans

By John Lott, Worldwide Expert on Guns & Crime

Democrats just can't let go of their push for an assault weapons ban. Meanwhile, Americans are waiting for the Supreme Court to intervene. Thirteen times the court has relisted the Snope v. Brown case, which addresses Maryland's ban on semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines. It seems increasingly likely the court will hear the case next year, and the decisions in Heller and Bruen make it clear that these bans are unconstitutional. These laws ban guns "in common use," and no comparable historical analog exists for these bans. [more...]

Trump of Arabia?

By Greg Rabidoux, Award-Winning Filmmaker, Author & Cultural Commentator

Movies and certainly the world have changed a lot since Lawrence of Arabia swept the Academy Awards. In the film, T.E. Lawrence (played by the brilliant Peter O'Toole) ditches his western suits for Arab robes. This infuriates the British who sent him there to just observe the Arab uprising against the Turks. Of course, Trump never goes anywhere just to observe. And, as for traditional grab, he wore his own traditional blue suit and red tie, in a sea of Arab robes and tunics. And this, as well as his giving an olive branch to the Syrians, further cementing U.S.-Saudi economic and political destinies, and saying yes to that new jet infuriates the Left. Trump lives by his own "Pillars of Wisdom": commerce not chaos, peace through strength, and prosperity through partnerships. Leave the dramatic and deathly desert uprisings to the movies. In real life, that's just bad for business. [more...]

Trump, Zelensky & the Great Global Reset

By Todd Sheets, Author of 2008: What Really Happened

Trump's one-on-one with Zelensky in the Vatican in late April, commentary from both the left and the right seemed to center around two key criticisms: 1) The administration is repeating Chamberlain's mistake with Hitler and Nazi Germany by seeking to appease Russian president Putin, and 2) Trump's actions are destroying the "special" relationship with Europe that helped win World Wars I and II and the Cold War. All of this has exposed a Great Global Reset, a necessary change in America's role as the world's policeman. The following are three key areas that will help us understand how we arrived at this historic moment. First, we'll review what I've called the Aggressor/Defender Ratio, a key measure of relative geopolitical strength. Second, we'll explore the evolution of our relationship with Europe; and third, we'll discuss America's changing role. [more...]

Trump's Tactics are Working

By Lord Conrad Black, Author of The Political and Strategic History of the World, Vol II

It may not have been well-publicized in Europe, but the combination of the sudden temporary resolution and de-escalation of the tariff imbroglio between the United States and China has gone a considerable distance to legitimizing the apparently brusque method of President Trump's policy to eliminate the completely unjustifiable and ultimately unsustainable U.S. trade imbalance of $1.2 trillion.
