The border is secure, the government has been slashed, tariffs are in place, Most Favored Nation status has been achieved with major brands, and the Big Beautiful Bill is law. That leaves only two questions that matter: Will this work and will Americans feel the positive impacts in time for the midterms? Last week, President… Continue reading The clock is ticking on the economy, but there are certainly positive signs as the new year rolls in

Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk
Progressives ignored high prices for years, mocked those who worried about inflation, and for decades have waged a war on consumerism, but suddenly, we’re supposed to believe the American Dream is measured in cheap plastic dolls. Over the past several weeks, President Donald Trump has been heavily criticized from the left and some on the… Continue reading Trump, the affordability scam, and the truth that we buy too much junk
Only one thing is certain, the media and the experts will keep lying to you repeatedly about the state of the economy and everything else
While I’m the first to admit the tariff strategy might backfire and unintended consequences could abound, good economic news outside the stock market is almost everywhere, contrary to the predictions of the experts.

Inflation is good, or at least nothing to worry about, so claim the experts
Who knew spiking prices and shortages of everything were a positive development? We’ve gone from inflation wasn’t going to happen, period, to it’s happening but it’ll be short-lived, to it’s actually a good thing to begin with in less than 10 months.
