Trump’s Tariffs Could
Put Money in the Pockets of America’s Farmers
Fears
of retaliation by China are greatly exaggerated, and the potential gains far
outweigh the possible downsides
President Donald Trump’s recently implemented trade strategy
- including tariffs on subsidized imports from China - is drawing fire from
multinational agribusinesses and their trade associations. They favor a
borderless world, and they support the free trade agreements of the past 20
years. Family farmers and ranchers, however, have a different view. They no
longer believe current free trade agreements will benefit them. Net farm income
this year is projected to be the lowest since 2006. The North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) transformed America’s agricultural trade
surplus with Mexico and Canada into a deficit. [more...]
The “Fundamental
Transformation” of Both Parties
Hillary Clinton’s latest excuse for losing the 2016
election is that she is a “capitalist” but “41 percent of Democrats are
socialists...” Hillary Clinton is a “capitalist” as Marx used the term. She
favors crony capitalism in which privileged elitists get rich via government
favors. She rules a billion-dollar foundation that demanded kickbacks from
those seeking favors from the Secretary of State... favors like a Russian
company acquiring 20% of America’s precious uranium reserves while her
foundation pocketed from Russian interests at least $145 million. Most of the
Republican Party, meanwhile, thanks to President Trump, is moving away from the
globalist, collectivist agenda of Progressivism that has ruled both parties
since World War II. Mr. Trump is restoring both nationalism and America’s
borders. He is returning America to its historic role as an experiment in
liberty that unites enterprising, liberty-seeking citizens from around the
world in the first “new nation,” a great model of free enterprise for Planet
Earth to follow. [more...]
John
Kerry’s Contemptible Collusion
Former Secretary of State John Kerry has been colluding
with the enemy, back-channeling with leaders of a totalitarian regime that
fosters terrorism, and working against the national security interests of the
United States. Kerry has committed a textbook violation of the Logan Act, a
1799 law that has never resulted in a conviction. The law is violated when a
private citizen negotiates without authorization on behalf of the United States
in disputes with foreign governments. The rationale behind the law seeks to
prevent an individual with international contacts from thwarting the policy of
the nation. This is exactly what Kerry has been attempting. Why bring up a law
from centuries past? [more...]
The Doctor Shortage:
Fact or Fiction?
In
a recent study, The Association of American Medical Colleges has projected that
there will be a doctor shortage between 42,000 and 120,300 by 2030. This is a
stunning number when you break down the fact that the shortage will affect
primary care doctors (14,800 – 49,300); specialists (33,800 – 72,700); and surgical
sub specialists (20,700 – 30,500). The looming crisis is magnified by the fact
that increasing demand from both a growing and an aging population must be
considered. How did we get to
this point? Perhaps it is because Congress passed The Balanced Budget Act
of 1997 which limited the number of residency positions in the US. Because
of this, there are doctors who graduate from medical school each year who
cannot be licensed to practice medicine because they cannot find a residency.
Physicians must complete at least one year of residency to be eligible to
practice medicine. Instead of taking care of patients in underserved
communities, these doctors are unnecessarily sidelined. [more...]
Marx’s Apologists
Should Be Red in the Face
The bicentennial of the
man whose ideas killed untold millions
May
5th marked the bicentennial of Karl Marx, who set the stage with his philosophy
for the greatest ideological massacres in history. Or did he? He did, but
deniers still remain. “Only a fool could hold Marx responsible for the Gulag,”
writes Francis Wheen in “Karl Marx: A Life”. Stalin, Mao and Kim Il Sung, Mr.
Wheen insists, created “bastard creeds,” “wrenched out of context” from Marx’s
writings. Marx has been accused of ambiguity in his writings. That critique is
often justified, but not always. In “The Communist Manifesto,” he and Friedrich
Engels were quite clear that “the theory of the Communists may be summed up in
the single sentence: abolition of private property.” [more...]
Why There Can Never Be
Another Rush Limbaugh
If
you’ve looked at talk radio scene recently, you have probably noticed there’s a
certain stagnation or entropy that’s set in. It’s been years since a major
talent exploded upon the scene, garnering millions of listeners and fans. The
conclusion to be drawn: Due to numerous changes, demographic, technological,
financial, economic and political, terrestrial based talk show hosts are
rapidly becoming an endangered species. That’s not to say that Limbaugh,
Hannity, Savage, Levin and others are at risk losing their relevance, but
rather it’s an observation that the new talent pipeline won’t be providing
their successors anytime soon. [more...]
