President Trump is the best president of my lifetime, but that doesn’t say much for the rest.

The predictor of the calamitous 2008-2009 financial crisis, Peter Schiff, was featured on Fox and Friends in … Read more

This week, on GrokTALK!, I explore the reality of how Democrats made everything unaffordable in Neighboring Vermont with long-time Political Insider, Rob Roper, and why you shouldn’t complain about any effect of Trump’s tariffs without at least looking in the mirror. “Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” – Gustav Mahler … Read more
The Democrats’ affordability narrative is a lie, and Republicans need to push back hard The political Left in America, desperate for a lifeline, anything that isn’t just more TDS rage, has pinned its hopes on affordability. That word is making the rounds, and after winning a few elections where Democrats typically win, that’s their new … Read more
Deporting illegals, rebuilding our Military’s character and mission, lowering gas prices, and attempting to prosecute all the government miscreants who shamelessly lied to the American people, is all good, BUT IT AIN’T ENOUGH, particularly, for a lot of lower-middle-class and low-income Americans this Thanksgiving. Trump and the Republicans are doing the same thing Biden and … Read more

Elites, from pundits to economists, are at a loss to explain how that pig Donald Trump could be so damn lucky. There’s no way he knows more about business, trade, or global economies than they do, yet he continues to run circles around them. They predict doom from tariffs, trade wars, and economic misery, but … Read more
President Donald Trump’s administration has terminated the US-Mexico Tomato Suspension Agreement, effective July 14, 2025, following decades of abuse by Mexican producers who “dump” tomatoes into the United States at below-market prices. American farmers have suffered significantly despite numerous efforts to re-negotiate the terms of the agreement. The termination is one of many efforts by the … Read more
We should have seen this coming. A mere 25 days after the Inauguration, Vice President JD Vance went to Munich to convey a few key messages. Things that made some in the EU cry. To ensure freedom, Western “democracies” needed to protect free and open public discourse, and the EU is “disappointing” history. Vance spoke … Read more
Tariffs as Foreign Policy haters almost had a policy orgasm yesterday when a rarely-heard-of court exceeded its power and told Trump he had to stop with all this tariff business.

His entire lifetime, Trump has been aware of the history of tariffs. As the consummate entrepreneur, Donald Trump discussed and warned the public about the rape of America by the elite globalists as these demons removed the manufacturing base of America across the oceans of the world to secure “cheap labor”—actually the cheapest labor—and reduce … Read more
President Trump has proposed using the revenue from his increased tariffs to lower or even eliminate income taxes — with a priority on removing Americans making less than 200,000 dollars a year from the tax rolls. Exempting more Americans from income taxes — and lowering taxes on other Americans— is certainly a worthwhile endeavor. However, … Read more
I recently reported on news that China was quickly swirling down the economic drain as Trump’s big, beautiful tariffs did the work they were meant to do.

Several things have become evident a few weeks into Donald Trump’s big beautiful tariff strategy. The most beautiful tariffs – like nobody’s ever seen.

The Proglodytes are forever whining about someone paying their fair share or taxing the rich, even though Democrats have more oligarchs (rich folks) registered on their team. It’s a bait and switch. Democrats want to tax the crap out of everyone with a tax code full of loop holes only the rich can afford to … Read more
In March of 2025, President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imports of steel, aluminum, automobiles, and certain automobile parts.

On April 2, Trump proclaimed, “Liberation Day” and added a global baseline tariff of 10%, plus customized … Read more
President Trump was elected in part because he promised to reduce prices and not drag the country into foreign wars. Sadly, President Trump has adopted a tariff policy that will raise prices and abandoned his “America First” foreign policy in favor of a return to Bush-era neoconservatism.
