    The Dance In Iran Continues

    Trump made clear that Iran shouldn't have any serious attack on us. Maybe more will come, but for now, they listened. They told us where they would strike and we got everyone out of harm's way. They attacked two bases. There were ZERO dead or injured. Iran has said that they cannot come...

    Trump Reduces Tariffs By Excluding Phones, Chips, and Computers

    The tech companies give a big sigh of relief. The Chinese workers on the Apple assembly line can continue to remain employed for $500 a month. This was critical for tech companies and for the countries of South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. 75% of the US market was already excluded since the...

    Taxes Still The Largest Tax Increase In Years

    Pence called the tariffs the largest tax increase ever. If the reciprocal taxes are removed (they have been delayed) this will still be the largest tax increase since 1982. ========= I expect our overall tax rate to be a bit lower than now after the new wonderful Trump bill. Of course, prices...

    At least on of Trump's Advisors Understand How Crazy The Tariff Policy Is

    Three days ago, Musk proposed ZERO tariffs between the US and the EU (a trade free zone). Musk has called out Novarro (the author of Trump's tariff policy) for the craziness of the tariffs, especially those on trade deficit. ================== The billionaires know how crazy this is. Maybe...

    There Will Be Fewer Farmers

    US agriculture will greatly reduce its sales to China and to USAID. These sources of income may come back some, but the total should be greatly reduced for years to come. This is necessarily bad. The percentage of US citizens working in agriculture has been decreasing for many, many decades.

    Only The Reciprocal (Trade Deficit) Tariffs Are Crazy - Companies Will Be Able To React To The Rest

    Yes, autos and imports will have higher prices. Companies can only absorb part of the tariff costs, ditto for the 10% across the board tariffs. And, yes, some companies will increase the production in US auto plants. ======== But what can Vietnam do to remove the 46% trade deficit tariff that...

    Trump Has Personally Reduced The Wealth Of US Investors By $9.6 TRILLION Since Inauguration Day

    Trump has always told us how important the rising of the market was in evaluating his first term. Well, up to a couple of days ago, Trump has led the way to a $4.6 Trillion loss in the stock market. Since announcing the tariffs, the Trump tariffs have cost investors $5 TRILLION more dollars...

    Jobs Lost And Jobs Gained

    If Trump is successful, many of the jobs of Vietnam and other Asian countries will move to the US. Jobs will be lost for those who currently depend on exporting goods (primarily to Europe) but also agricultural goods to Asia. ===== SO, how will the farmers like the new jobs on the assembly line...

    Canada, Mexico, The UK and Ireland

    It seems that Trump is willing to negotiate with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Ireland. The tariffs on steel, aluminum and auto parts, and the base 10% tariff are likely to stay. For example, drug companies in Ireland seem ready to absorb the tariffs and not raise prices this year. We import...

    Why Threaten Greenland And Insult One Of Our Best Allies?

    Welcome to the 21st Century version of the Monroe Doctrine. Of course, we should be responsible for reducing China's influence in Greenland, the Arctic, and yes, aslo in Panama. And, of course, we care much less about Europe than we used to. An 80-year relationship will definitely change...

    There Should Be A new Role For Trump, Cutting And Advising On Military Matters; Or On Technology

    I will be clear: Musk is, by far, the best mind that Trump will accept to make or advise on major changes to the Defense, Homeland Security on matters of technology. == Name the top 5 people that Trump has advising him on issues of the military and space. Name the top 5 people who can advise...

    Europe Is Now Alone (well, with US guarantees)

    These situations are the ebb and flow of history. Over 100 years ago the US became part of a strong alliance with Europe. Since WWII, this alliance and codependence has resulted in the greatest golden age of world improvement ever. This has especially true since Reagan moved more and more...

    We Will Soon Have An Americal Colony In Ukraine

    Colonialism is NOT over. Greenland and Panama can wait. Colonial powers have always made their riches by collecting revenues from the sale of the resources of their colonies. This is Colonialism 2025. Ukraine will be forced to give the US control of their resources (50% of REVENUES is indeed...

    Trump Will Succeed In Greatly Reducing The Size Of The Federal Government

    Sure, much of the ending and closing down agencies and even firings are illegal and will be stopped by the courts. HOWEVER, the Executive Branch under Trump can lay folks off and have hiring freezes. Certainly, folks who refuse to show up to work can be disciplined and perhaps forced to leave...
