This existing law could bring supply chains back today

 How to immediately protect American workers

We don't need to pass a law to bring manufacturing supply chains back to America. We just need to enforce the law already on the books.

The Trade Act of 1930 is the law. This landmark trade legislation has clear enforceable labor standards. It bans the importation into the United States of any goods made with slave labor or child labor. The Obama administration, to its credit, closed a loophole in the original act to make it a powerful weapon for protecting American workers and American labor standards.

We Need the Voice of America

As mobs deface monuments to America’s heritage, major media personalities cannot summon a voice to denounce the anarchy or defend our heritage.  

The corporate media’s outrage du jour concerns the Voice of America (VOA).

VOA is the government-funded international broadcast service, our official radio channel to the world. President Trump has exercised his prerogative to replace the political appointees overseeing the enterprise.

China using resurgent Covid scare 'to spook' U.S.

'China put out information that Beijing's on a wartime footing because there was a second wave, because they got 57 cases of covid. This is meant for American consumption.'

How Beijing Buys Influence

The Chinese Communist Party is adept at peeling off allies. It exploits the weaknesses of its targets to enlist them in its cause.  

The Chinese Communist Party is waging information warfare to shape American public opinion and influence our economic and government policy to their benefit.

The CCP doesn’t shape public opinion by buying billboards and TV ads. That kind of persuasion is far too American for them.

Instead, they co-opt our leaders and buy entire companies.

The corporatist cartel and its 'social justice' hypocrisy

Memo to GM's CEO: If you want to help blacks, bring their jobs back to America

General Motors CEO Mary Barra tells us her company will be focused on social injustice as well as the bottom line following the murder of George Floyd.

The Lies of Our Times Exposed

Since his appearance on the political scene in 2015, Donald Trump has drawn out the liars and hypocrites of our times and given them the space to expose their mendacity. The last few weeks have drawn out abundant examples.  

Ever since he first descended the escalator in the Trump Tower lobby, Donald J. Trump has exposed the mendacity and hypocrisy that passes for politics in America.

The candidates sharing the primary stage with him came off as wooden dummies mouthing platitudes no one believed.

The Great American Comeback has begun

How blue-state governors can save face over lockdown orders

 

The Great American Comeback is underway.

The latest jobs report shows the U.S. economy defied all expectations, adding more than 2.5 million jobs in May. It was expected to lose 7.5 million.

The unemployment rate fell to 13.3 percent, shedding nearly a point and a half. It was expected to rise to nearly 20%. The number of workers on temporary layoff decreased by 2.7 million in May.

May saw the greatest number of jobs created in a single month on record.

The Lie of ‘Politics-Free’ Pandemic and Pandemonium Policy

This entire “no room for politics” shtick is not merely a fraud and a lie, it’s also plainly wrong. You can’t take politics out of politics. And you shouldn’t.  

It’s hard to separate the double-talk from the double standards in these days of double trouble, especially since the double trouble is itself doubled.

The pandemic trouble has a double nature, consisting of a public health problem (which, miraculously, has evaporated—but we’ll get to that in a bit) and the economic trouble.

Countering the Chinese Communist Party's warfare

'Spinelessness' of previous presidents on dealing with Beijing brought us to this day

The Chinese Communist Party is on the march.

Its goons are crushing Hong Kong's freedoms. It's People's Liberation Army grabs territory in India, it's Navy sinking Vietnamese fishing boats and swarming Malaysian oil rigs in the South China Sea.

Dictator Xi Jinping is daring the free world to respond. He wants to see if we will stand up to the CCP and his move for global supremacy.

American Greatness: What's the matter with Mail-in Ballots?

What Do Progressives Want? It Depends on Which Ones You’re Talking About Today’s progressives diverge from the originals in their professed interest in democracy.  

Progressives are a chameleon-like group, having morphed from Republicans, to Bull Mooses (or is it Meese?) to Democrats. Now is a good time to evaluate what progressives want.
