There was never a good time to confront China on trade thanks to the abject failure of previous administrations and our allies to proactively address vulnerabilities and reduce dependencies. President Trump @POTUS inherited a complex situation and is the only leader in my…

China is winning the trade war. They have strong cards, but the truth is the Trump team inadvertently helped them. Per the @WSJ, the reason China massively escalated in the last 36 hours is because it believes Trump will fold - just as he did on magnets - without reaching for…

President Trump’s granddaughter Kai Trump asks him if there’s a dream he’s still chasing. His answer is incredible: “You become president, that's a dream. But now you want to be a great president.” 🇺🇸

Ron DeSantis on property taxes: "If I go to Best Buy and buy a TV, I pay a sales tax—but I don’t keep paying taxes on it year after year!"

Here’s the deal regarding Donald John Trump. Years ago, I watched the Golf Channel where two professional golfers were being interviewed. The interviewer asked, “What makes a good golfer?” One said, “I look how he grips the club; where he places his feet, how he positions his…

Good frame here from Dean. “China has crafted a policy that gives it the power to forbid any country on Earth from participating in the modern economy.” Those who equate China’s action with America’s chip controls are missing the sheer scale of what China has done.

We should not miss the fundamental point on rare earths: China has crafted a policy that gives it the power to forbid any country on Earth from participating in the modern economy. They can do this because they diligently built industrial capacity no one else had the fortitude…



Banger post! "The Yankees don’t exist to be efficient. They exist to make other men question their gods." Sell the team to Trump!

Hal Steinbrenner is the problem. The rot in the walls. The soft-spoken accountant running a cathedral like a regional bank. The man who inherited an empire built on ego, obsession, and fire — and turned it into a moderately successful real estate holding with a ballpark…

Tell em Joe. I love this


Love this! I grew up in the same kind of neighborhood—life really WAS grand. But for all that imaginary fun to even work, we had to share a sense of fair play and honor. The bullets were make-believe, but the reckoning was real. If you got hit, you’d already run the math—the…

When I was boy in the 1970's, playing guns was a whole of neighborhood effort. We'd have dozens of kids involved and we organized in a military fashion with squads, platoons and companies. All of us were heavily armed with plastic guns and many of us brought along some kind of…

Why can’t the WSJ—or anyone else—grasp why @RobertKennedyJr works out in Levi’s 501s? It’s not eccentric—it’s branding. @CherylHines won’t say it, but Bobby’s channeling Redford-era rugged grace and classic Americana.

Here is the problem with the reporting. Just recently the WSJ was reporting that Trump was preparing to cave with China offering a deal. This isn't the move of a country expecting the United States to cave. This is the move of a country trying to force a concession not one…

China -- per the excellent reporting on the WSJ/ @Lingling_Wei -- appears to be pursuing a strategy of applying maximum pressure in pursuit of maximum concessions ... full tariff rollback, rollback of export controls, relaxation of nat'l security review on Chinese investment 1/

Trump’s post could mark the beginning of the end of the tariff truce. Beijing appears to have overplayed its hand. For months, China has assumed it could pocket U.S. concessions—tariff pauses, summit outreach, chip relaxations—and still dictate the tempo. This week's…

Donald J. Trump Truth Social Post 10:57 AM EST 10/10/25 Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production…

Trump has cards, it's not wise to back him into a corner, and Beijing has overreached.
