Welcome

After all we suffered under the Communist Puppet Joe Biden the bar for Donald Trump is not very high. We are hoping Trump will set the bar high and restore the United States into a nation of freedom, competence and prosperity. First order should be to close our borders to invaders from other lands. Then deport everyone who entered illegally. We do not have to send them back to their home countries. Nearly every one of them came through Mexico with the blessings of the Mexican government. Just take them to Mexico and release them at the border. Since the Mexican Government allowed them to cross our border, they should have the privilege of deciding what to do with them. We should play hardball on this. We should investigate every Democrat politician who supported this law-breaking action and charge the guilty with breaking the law. We may end up with most Democrat Politicians in jail but how would that be a bad thing?

Next should be Donald Trump issuing new executive orders to change every executive order Comrade Joe issued. If Comrade Joe had authority to issue executive orders, so does Donald Trump. Joe’s executive Orders had one goal and that was to help destroy the United States. China funneled a lot of money to Joe try to destroy the United States.

A lot of unlawful activity happened under Democrat Rule and those breaking the laws should be held accountable. I am not using the Democrats term “retribution” they use to try to avoid their being held accountable for their crimes. I am speaking of Justice for the People of the United States who were the victims of this abuse by the Democrats. The corrupt Joe Biden has been issuing pardons to Democrats for crimes they have not been charged with yet. That liar even issued a pardon for his son after saying he would not. A thorough investigation should be made of the FBI and Justice Department and where laws were broken those breaking the laws should be charged with a crime.

We need to reduce government spending and have a balanced budget amendment to our Constitution. We need to reduce our national debt. The next best way to do this, after a balanced budget amendment, is to greatly reduce government agencies and employment. Elon Musk drastically reduced the number of employees in his company and the company continued to thrive. This will also happen in government.

Our education system is mostly a propaganda movement. The suggestion we shut down the Department of Education sounds like a wonderful plan to me. We need to return education to educating students rather than indoctrinating them with Marxist Dogma. And speaking of Marxism we should stop trading with China.

The majority of the people in the United States rejoiced when the evil Biden regime was dumped by the voters. Joe Biden’s family businesses received millions from China and other sworn enemies of the United States in exchange for Biden being their puppet. Nearly everything the Biden Regime did was detrimental to the United States. His infamous quote was, “we need a rising China.” The citizens voted for Donald Trump in part because they did not think Trump can be bought by foreign powers. We do not need a rising China. Biden needed a rising China so he could enrich himself by serving them.

Donald Trump has a great challenge in dealing with China. China got used to getting favors from the United States with Biden in charge. They even threatened the United States and worked deals with our enemies to our detriment. They will have severe withdrawal pains and our pro China leftist news media will start their pro-China propaganda campaign by claiming high tariffs on Chinese Goods will raise our prices and risk military attacks from the angry Chinese. Fear, or expected fear, is a big part of the leftist propaganda they are trying to sell us.

It has been my belief that the way to crush China is to cut off their funding. And where do they get most of their funding to build up their military and threaten us and smaller nations? Why it is from the profits they make from selling us their manufactured goods. Trump’s plan to raise tariffs on Chinese goods sounds like a good plan to me. In time the Chinese may be able to replace our trade with trade with other nations by buying up their leaders or promising aid that will never come.

If that will happen, we may need an alternative plan. I had to do a lot of research to come up with an alternative plan for China but I think I may have come with a workable plan. I contacted Soothsayers, Wizards, Witches, Warlocks, Astrologers, Occultists, Magicians, Seers, Diviners, Oracles, Psychics, Prophets, Palmists Fortune Tellers and Ouija Boards. I also read what some Historians have said about how great kingdoms in the world have self- destructed. I even tried to get an interview with the Devil but his personal secretary said he was unavailable because he was working with Democrats to come up with believable lies to explain why Kamela Harris lost the election.

The plan I came up with is so simple I am embarrassed that I had not thought of it before. Offer China something free! You know how something advertised as free gets attention. Advertisers have been known to advertise something as “free of extra charge” to get people to read their ads. Politicians have been re-elected for years by promising citizens free medical care, free rent supplements, free food stamps and free educational loan payoffs. Of course, those freebies are free to the people who get them but for us who are trying to pay our own way, we are the ones who get stuck with the bill. And we can no longer afford it.

You know how the Communist’s have so suppressed creativity in China they have to depend on stealing our ideas come up with anything that works. Let’s offer them free experts to help them make decisions. We can begin by offering to send Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Chuck Schummer, Nancy Pelosi. Cory Booker, Adam Schiff, Dr Fauci, Alejandro Mayorkas, The Squad, Pete Buttigieg and Christopher Wray. These people worked tirelessly and almost succeeded in destroying the United States in four years. We have thousands of bureaucrats in government who spend all their time trying to make our lives miserable. Let’s send them too. The Chinese cannot resist getting free advice. You may question whether these people would work their magic of destruction on China with same enthusiasm they had wrecking the United States. I am betting they would have their egos so massaged by being called experts they would love to “help” the Chinese. It would boast their egos to think that they would be considered experts. With their incompetence and the incompetence of the Communist Patry I feel confident that the Communist Regime would soon be History. That’s my plan and I’m sticking with it.

The Book of Matthew, Chapter 24, in the Bible has this passage concerning the Latter Days. Verse 6 says, “And you shall here of wars and rumors of wars. See that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” I take it to mean, the way this passage is written, that the wars and rumors of wars shall last for an extended period. These are the conditions that exist in the last days before Jesus will come to reign on earth.

According to trusted surveys, 40 per cent of Democrat Voters do not believe in God, so this prophecy would mean nothing to them and they would blindly not recognize the signs of the times. So what should be the attitude of the majority of our citizens who still believe in God. Should we decide that these wars and rumors will happen and ignore the problem? Or should we recognize those who start wars or consider starting wars the enemies of God and oppose them? I vote for the latter.

There has been some talk that President Trump might agree to Russia keeping the land they invaded in Ukraine if they will agree to stop the war. I hope that is a rumor started by Trump’s enemies to discredit him. To appease the Russians would be a fool’s errand. How quickly people forget the lessons of history. Neville Chamberlain of England thought he could avoid war if he did not oppose Germany’s invasion of its smaller neighbors. Soon the Germans were dropping bombs on England. And them there is recent history. No nation dared stand in the way of Russia’s invasion of Crimea, fearing war and thinking that would satisfy the Russians. Now a few years later they are invading Ukraine. And should I mention Putin wants Alaska back? If Biden had been returned to the White House. he might have agreed.

I am not suggesting we should declare war on Russia but there are lots of things we could do to disable them. Economic sanction could put the hurt on Russia if our leaders would not be timid on using them. The Russians have secretly been using cyber attacks to harm us. I think it is not wrong for us to do the same to them and we should not restrain ourselves in going after them.

It is important we get it right how we will deal with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If there are no consequences, they will them start invading the countries Russia controlled as an evil Communist Regime and then Alaska. And, of course, what is left of Ukraine. And who is watching how we deal with Russia? China, Iran and North Korea come to mind. If China sees us make concessions to the Russians, they will demand their takeover of Tawain since the people there are Chinese. And then all of Asia. Iran wants to control the Middle East and they would demand the United States recognize their rights. And North Korea thinks they should have control of South Korea and the nations around them and an imperialistic United States should stay away.

Trump talks about using tariffs to get us a fair shake in trade. I am in favor of that. I also think we should stop trading with China. Their policy if to destroy our way of life and they make it no secret. If we had leaders with the courage to take down Communism China we could probably do it by refusing to trade with them. They would not have the money to be able to build up their military to menace their smaller neighbors. Our national goal should be to break up China into a number of smaller nations without the power to bully their neighbors. Then if they wanted to be belligerent, they could fight each other.

Donald Trump received a mandate from the people of the United States in last month’s election to get rid of corruption, incompetence and waste in our government. This sounds like an impossible task. Even Superman would likely approach this challenge with fear and trembling. Superman used to fight for truth, justice and the American Way. This was apparently offensive to the millions of left leaning citizens here who hate all the freedoms we have because it interferes with their goal of getting power and helping themselves to our tax money. They pressured the Comic Book company into changing Superman’s mantra to truth, justice and a better tomorrow. Businessmen are easily manipulated because of fear of offending anyone. The old saying is I cannot give you a formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure and that is to try to please everyone. Budweiser learned that lesson recently when they promoted sexual deviants in their ads and millions stopped drinking their brew. The leftists talked the Comic Book Company into getting The American Way removed and inserting a better tomorrow. I am assuming this was a compromise. I suspect the radical leftists preferred the American Way be replaced with A Marxist Society.

Cancer was once considered incurable, but it is very treatable today. Getting rid of corruption, incompetence and waste seems like a daunting task. Already the Democrats are raising millions to fight every effort Trump will make to bring sanity back into our civilization. Reports have been that one government agency has 90 per cent of their employees not coming into the office. One report was an employee was running a business on taxpayer time and also getting paid in his government job. That is a good starting point to clean up waste and corruption. If 90 per cent of employees do not come into the office, are they really needed? Government has in a lot of cases provided job to lower the unemployment rate. I would not be surprised if someone does not discover a government agency that pays people to dig holes and them fill them up with the same dirt they dug out. Some of the claims we have heard is it costs the government thousands to “create a job”. The Democrats need big government to survive. Those government workers are union members who give huge campaign donations to the Democrats to protect their jobs. Government to too large and needs to be reduced.

There is too much duplication on government agencies. Why have to go to several government agencies to get things done when one should suffice? My wife is involved as a volunteer in Virginia with a non-profit service organization. Each year they have to file extensive state forms to be approved as a non profit and not have to pay taxes on money they raise to help people. And guess where they send the forms? To the Department of Argriculture and Consumer Services. We have a tax department. Why do they not process those forms? I am sure we would find that same type of lunacy in the federal government. Elon Musk bought a company and discovered he had thousands of people on the payroll that did nothing to justify their being on the payroll. I feel confident he will find many on the government payroll in the same situation. The Democrats will put up their goal line stand. They cannot survive without big government. They are a huge obstacle to draining the swamp.

Donald Trump wants to stop illegal invaders from crossing our borders. The Democrats are vowing to fight him to their last breath. They are costing us billions. The Democrats are claiming it will cost us billions to send these invaders home. What they are not telling us is it will cost us billions more to let them stay. The Democrats do not care about these invaders well being. They are only concerned about them voting Democratic and giving them power over our citizens.

After four years of the Biden Democrat Regime many countries do not fear or respect us and are even threating us. When we had our troops in Afghanistan and a few guys showed in pickup trucks with guns our Commander in Retreat, Joe Biden, went into full retreat. No nation has feared us since. I hope Trump does not go into a retreat mode as President. It might bring him praise from the Democrats, but we did not elect him to please the Democrats.

Both the Chinese, the Russians and North Korea have threatened us lately. I am hoping Trump will use all the sanctions he can muster against them. The Chinese have made no secret of their plans to destroy us by any means possible, to borrow a phrase from the Democrats in reference to Donald Trump. Should Donald Trump raise tariffs on Chinese Goods? No he should not. He should refuse to trade with them period. Without our money they receive from trade they could not bully smaller nations or build up their military to threaten us or other nations. Joe Biden so infamously said we need a rising China. No, we do not. Joe Biden needed a rising China to funnel money to his crime family, but the United States does not need threats from them. With a strong resolve we can bankrupt this evil regime, and we should. I hope President Trump will not cave in to Russian demands to steal Ukraine territory. I hope he will not be a latter-day Neville Chamberlain who caved into Hitlers demands only to find out later that he wanted more. We have the economic power to hurt Russia with sanctions. Let us do it.

The Democrats were relentless in their attacks on Donald Trump for eight years and he did not bend. We pray that Trump will stand tall and fight against corruption, incompetence and waste in government and win the war.

In the western expansion of the United States most towns usually had a paid lawman called a sheriff to deal with lawbreakers. If a new sheriff was chosen who had little patience with wrong doers, word got to troublemakers that a new sheriff was in town, and they better get out of town. The United States has a new “sheriff” by the name of Donald Trump.

The Democrats are howling in pain from coast to coast. They fear their plushy lives are being disrupted. You can become rich in public service. Joe Biden became a multi-millionaire in public service. They do not want to give up that golden opportunity. They also do not want to give up the other benefit of public service of power over the people. Some people get a great feeling when they can impose their will on other people. That is one reason we have thousands of regulations governing everything we do.

While the Democrats were in power, they imposed a lot of pain on the people in the United Sates. They allowed millions of immigrants to come into this country hoping they could quickly make them citizens who would vote for them and keep them in office. Many of those illegal invaders were criminals who preyed on our citizens. The Democrats cost citizens billions through their tax dollars for all the free benefits they gave these invaders for partnering with them by breaking the law.

The Democrats also passed billions of dollars in spending that was either borrowed or paid for by printings dollars that lost value with each printing. Now each baby born in the United States begins life thousands of dollars in debt.

It is hard to come up with anything positive that happened in the United States while the Democrats were in power. Now they are vowing to oppose anything Donald Trump proposes, even vowing to break the law to prevent deportation of illegal invaders. Look for many lawsuits by corrupt Democrats to attempt to sabotage anything Trump attempts to do. Also look for their allies and fellow criminals in the news media to continue their massive propaganda campaign against Trump. This would be a good time to exile all the criminals to California and then return California to Mexico.

I am praying that Donald Trump will continue to stand strong against these criminals as he has in the past. He has an extremely difficult job to do. He has to control the Democrat induced inflation and deal with a huge debt that no decent person would impose on the people of the United States. Our government is bloated. The Democrats will fight reducing big government to the death. Likewise will the Union Bosses of government unions, who make huge salaries representing government workers, many of whom are not needed. The number of workers in the Federal Government need to be drastically reduced. Some agencies need to be discontinued. Trump needs to come up with a plan to send the invaders home. It will be a bitter fight against the criminals. This is a great time for Superman to come flying in to fight for Truth, Justice and The American Way.

On December 4, 1619 the English held the first Thanksgiving in what was to become the United States. A group of colonists under the direction of Captain Woodlief representing the Berkely Company arrived in what is now the State of Virginia to a place designated as Berkely Hundred. Instructions given to Captain Woodlief were that their arrival in Berkely Hundred must “be yearly and perpetually kept as a day of thanksgiving to God”. Two years later, after the Indians massacred hundreds of colonists, Berkley Hundred was abandoned. The Thanksgiving Event was lost to history until Historians discovered it through research. After the Berkley Thanksgiving Colonists in Massachusetts had a Day of Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts in November of 1621, even inviting local Indians to come and celebrate with a meal. In 1863 some people in the Northeast requested that President Abraham Lincoln to declare a Day of Thanksgiving for the United States which he did. It is a National Holiday now celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Whether these people were pride seeking or felt a need to have a day of Thanksgiving to God I do not know, but it has become a beloved day for the people.

One of the reasons Thanksgiving is so beloved as a Holiday is most workers get a paid day off from work. If you work for the government you get Thursday and Friday off giving you a four day weekend. For those living an easy commute from their parents or other relatives it gives them time to visit with family and have a Thanksgiving Feast. It is unfortunate November is the month chosen for this Holiday as it is too close to Christmas. It would be nice if these two holiday days could be six months apart. There is a shrinking number of people who believe in God each year. But there are still a lot of people who celebrate Thanksgiving as a day to give thanks to God. Some families have the tradition of sitting around the table before a thanksgiving Banquet and telling everyone what they are thankful to God for.

I had an early Thanksgiving, and I will share some of the things I am thankful for. I am thankful the Democrats lost the White House and control of the Senate and did not take control of the House. The Democrats have been working to ban any mention of God or Jesus in public schools for years. They have been promoting Godless Communism in schools and government policy which they prefer to call socialism. They have been promoting deviant sexual behavior which is repugnant to Christians. The government under the Democrats has been censuring people who do not agree with leftist dogma and working with the media to do the same.

Donald Trump has his work cut out for him. The Democrats have been spending money like drunken sailors for four years. They created a huge national debt that some do not think can be repaid. If Trump attempts to resolve the massive overspending problem and reduce the deficient the Democrats will fight to the death to stop him. Their allies in the media will come after Trump more viscously than they have in the last eight years. The Democrats supporters who benefit from the money from the Democrats green Raw Deal and other pork barrel operations will be screaming load enough to heard across the country. Trump will also be opposed by Republicans who are Republicans in name only. I am hoping the Republicans will not become the party of abuse by serving themselves instead of the citizens as the Democrats did.

Donald Trump inherited a huge problem from the Democrats illegally allowing millions of illegal immigrants to enter this country causing huge disruptions in our society. Can he send these people back? Democrats claim it would be too costly so they should be given citizenship, totally ignoring the fact that it would cost less to send them home than the freebies they are now receiving from unwilling taxpayers thanks to the Democrats.

The Presidential Race is finally over with President Trump delivering a landslide victory over Kamala Harris. It has been said that the majority of the people will usually do what is right. The people of the United States have been abused by four years of the Biden-Harris regime. I do not believe it was because of incompetence. I believe many people in the Democrat Party were tryin to destroy our nation. All the polls have indicated that the majority of the citizen believed the country was heading in the wrong direction. Now the majority of the citizens have voted the offenders out of office. Have the Democrats learned their lesson? No chance of that. Already Democrat in Blue States are having meetings to defy Trump and also to make plans to disobey federal laws. The Democrat Partly should be outlawed. We need an opposition party but it should not be the Democrat Party.

Who is running the Democratic Party currently? I believe it is Marxists such as Chuck Schummer, Nancy Polisi. Adam Schiff, Barak Obama and the majority of the people on the Democratic National Committee. Now is our chance cripple the Marxist Influence in our land.

Next on my wish list is to began deporting people who have illegally invaded our land. They are costing us billions in welfare funds, medical care, increasing crime, education and legal fees as our corrupt government is paying their legal fees to prevent them from being sent home. These people need to go home. Those who believe otherwise should be taxed for their care. Those who help them break our laws should go to jail. The border wall needs to be finished. I read an article recently that it would cost $88,000,000,000 a year to deport all the illegals and the citizens would balk at such a high price tag. An article in Newsweek claimed the illegal immigrants are costing the United States $150,000,000,000 yearly. It sounds like after we deport the invaders at $88,000,000,000 a year we would then save $82,000,000,000 a year. The $88,000,000,000 cost sounds like a real bargain to me. Isn’t that like paying someone one dollar and then they give you back two dollars?

We need to have a way to prevent national politicians from spending money we do not have and driving up our national debt. We need a balanced budget amendment that would restrict spending to the amount we have coming in in taxes. I realize that Republicans also will spend more than they have coming in, but this is a bill the people need and I think the Republican Majority would do what is best for our country. We also need a Constitutional Amendment that prevents the Federal Government from borrowing money.

Our Federal Government is bloated. We need to start cutting jobs and useless agencies. Let us start with eliminating the Department of Education. It is totally unneeded since the states educate children. We have hundreds of government agencies that if eliminated would never be missed. Eliminating thousands of government jobs would help toward paying down our national debt. We need to restrict the Federal Reserve from printing more money. It only causes inflation.

We need tariffs on Chinese goods. What if they retaliate by refusing to trade with us. Good! Why are we even trading with a nation who has a goal of destroying the United States? The money they use to build up their military, bully smaller nations, buy influence in the United States and other nations comes from our money flowing into China to buy things they manufacture. I believe if we stop trading with China the Communist Regime there will collapse. We can manufacture things we need or import from friendly nations. The Democrats will fight to keep China afloat since they have embraced Marxism but the Republicans have control of the Presidency and the Senate. The house as I understand it has not been formerly decided yet. I am not sure why at this late date the votes are still being counted? Are the Blue State vote counters trying to “find” enough votes to get Democrats into Congress?

The Chinese are making millions selling the ingredients for fentanyl to Mexican Cartels that has been killing our citizens by the thousands. We can put pressure on the Mexican Government to stop the flow of these ingredients Mexico to the United States. In summary we need to change nearly everything the Democrats were doing to make our nation great again.

On November 5, 2024 millions of Citizens of the U.S. and an unknown number of non citizens will be voting for the new President of the United States. Why do I say non citizens will be voting? Because they will. Some states send ballots to anyone who gets a driver’s license and some states give non citizens driver’s licenses. And you can bet those states do not bother to determine how many ballots come from non citizens. One state, Virginia, had a record of people who said they were not citizens and when Virginia tried to remove them from the voting rolls a federal judge, probably appointed by the Biden Regime, ruled the State could not remove them from the rolls. Next thing that might happen is Communist California will allow People in China to vote in their elections.

Our country is in a grave peril when non citizens can decide who our president will be. No one knows how many non citizens are in the United States illegally but it could be 30,000,000. The majority of these invaders are Hispanics and Hispanics have tended to vote more Democrat than Republican. That is a golden opportunity for The Democrats to get the non-citizens to vote. I mentioned this possibility to a family member whose response was non citizens cannot vote in our elections. I countered that they are breaking the law by entering our country so why would you think they would not also break the law by voting? Some will be voting for the reasons I stated above.

Some may feign outrage that I would suggest Democrats would cheat. The mantra of the Democrat Party ever since Donald burst on the scene is to stop Trump by any means possible. May I mention some of the means possible? Two attempts have been made by the Democrats to impeach Donald Trump. They were trying to figure out how to charge him with treason. They have been running a smear campaign against his for over eight years. Criminal charges have been brought against him in three Democrat Controlled Cities. Federal Police agencies have suppressed information about the corruption of the Biden Regime in an attempt to influence the outcome of the election. Remember the Russian Hoax story they made up when Joe Biden’s son’s laptop showed up with some indication of illegal conduct by Joe? Are these the same people who are investigating the assassination attempts against Donald Trump? If any Democrats operatives were involved that information will never be revealed.

Every means possible to remove Trump so far have failed. Am I suggesting the Democrats would cheat to win. Absolutely! It seems to me the last two possibilities are all the Democrats have left. If the race is as close as the pollsters suggest this should be an easy fix. Just a few fraudulent votes can solve the problem. Those fraudulent votes would come in areas where Democrats are in power, and they would block any investigation. If the pollsters are wrong and Donald Trump wins big look for Democrats to file lawsuits in the courts of friendly judges by the dozen attempting to disqualify millions of Republican Votes and even bringing new criminal charges against Trump.

Our politicians love to talk about how corrupt politicians are in other countries when we have world class corrupt politicians in our own land. My opinion of the Democrat Party is they are a criminal organization. Exhibit number one is Joe Biden. Joe has been in politics most of his life and is now a multi-millionaire. Our founding fathers, who the Democrats love to criticize, envisioned public office holders as those who would serve the best interests of the citizens. And what do we have? A Democrat Leader who has raised enriching himself to an art form from serving as an elected official. The hearings in our own House of Representatives indicate companies in the “Biden Crime Family” likely laundered millions of dollars given them by foreign entities. So why was not Joe impeached? The answer is simple. The criminal organization known as the Democrat Party would have prevented this from happening with their controlling power in the Senate. Lots of Billionaires are given favors, which enrich them, by the Democrats. The billionaires reward the Democrats by generous campaign contributions. Staying in office enables Democratic Office Holders to further enrich themselves. And what is the response of the Democratic Party? They totally support Joe in his corruption and paint him as one of our greatest Presidents. The record shows the Democrats have much more money for campaigning than the Republicans largely because of billionaires’ contributions.

The Democrats have lied for a long time about showing compassion for those who are crossing our borders illegally with the support of the Democrat Party. Most come her for economic reasons. The only reason the Democrats broke the law and opened our border is they believed they could quickly make the invaders citizens who would vote for them in appreciation. The Democrats have burdened our citizens with billions of dollars in debt to support these invaders and are a danger to our society.

The Democrats invented unverifiable mail in ballots and unverifiable vote harvesting in Democrat Controlled States and advertised this accomplishment as the most secure election ever. I might add they were able to prevent most attempts to investigate any wrongdoing. If they were so sure there was no wrongdoing why did they work so hard to block any investigations?

If we can believe the polls this election will be very close. What amazes me is after all the abuse we have been subjected to by the Democrats half the people support them. But did not Adolf Hitler have the support of most Germans? The Democrat Party’s Slogan for the last four years has been to “stop Trump by any means possible”. What are the possible means to stop Trump? Attempts were made twice to remove him from office by impeachment. Attempts have been made in Democrat Controlled States to charge him with a crime and get him convicted on the theory that if convicted he would be ineligible to run for office. Efforts were made to charge him with treason. In some Democrat Controlled States attempts were made by the Democrats to remove Trump from the ballot. The Democrats, with the help of their fellow criminals in the news media, are attempting to characterize Trump as the second coming of Adolf Hitler when their leaders most resemble Hitler. There were two assassination attempts. So far Trump has not been stopped “by any means possible”.

Donald Trump was interviewed recently on Bloomberg News and talked about his plans to place tariffs on imports from China and other countries to level the playing field to and make the United States more competitive with other countries. The interviewer used the “experts” card to point out that Trump was in error and the “experts” had decreed that tariffs are a bad thing causing consumers to pay more for goods and services. When I heard this I immediately thought about the “experts” in the Center for Disease Control who lied to the public. Those people lied to our citizens, suppressed information that did not agree with their agenda and pressured individuals who disagreed with them to be silent and even tried to destroy professionally those who would not bend to their will. If these experts are like the “experts” in the Center for Disease Control we should not listen to anything they say. These “experts” were not a blessing to the People of the United States but a curse.

I was also reminded of a course in International Trade I took in college many years ago. The gist of the huge and expensive book the course required and the Professor’ wisdom was tariffs were a bad thing. The theory went like this. Some countries have advantages such as abundant sunshine, tropical weather and abundant rainfall and can grow bananas cheaper than anywhere else. If no tariffs are placed on bananas all other nations who import bananas would benefit from the lowest possible price. If another country had abundant iron ore to mine they could build factories nearby and produce steel cheaper than other countries. Without tariffs on these steel products everyone in the world who needed steel could get it at the cheapest possibly price.

Sounds like a great plan does it not? What the course did not mention is what happens when politics enter into the Equation. Many businesses and organizations spend together millions of dollars on lobbyists who call on politicians to give them special breaks to keep competitors from underpricing them. One of the ways to do this is to get the politicians to put tariffs on competitors from foreign countries. The lobbyists also points out to the politicians that those they lobby for have contributed to the politician’s campaign fund. That is all the politician needs to hear before proposing higher tariffs on the foreign competitors. The business owner’s profits go up and the Unionized Workers who also have lobbyists calling upon the same politicians with offers of politician contributions benefits greatly with higher wages. In this scenario there are three beneficiaries to tariffs, businessmen, the labor union workers and the politicians. The rest of us just pay higher prices on the goods that higher tariffs are placed on. When this happens, tariffs are a bad thing causing the citizens to pay higher prices. Remember when the Chinese were funneling millions into companies connected to the Biden Crime Family for no apparent services in return? Joe was fond of saying we need a rising China, so he was looking out for their interests instead of the interests of our people. No, we did not need a rising China, but Biden needed a rising China to funnel money in his direction. And did not Joe become a multi-millionaire in government service?

When are tariffs a good thing? For starters China makes it no secret they want to destroy our freedoms. They are involved in espionage in stealing our patents. Their agents are hacking into our computer systems stealing information and causing huge losses from the damage they are able to inflict. China supports our enemies like Iran and North Korea and threatens our allies. They financially support businesses in competition with ours giving those competitors unfair advantage over our businesses. They use our money from the goods they sell us to build up their military to threaten smaller nations. Those who think cheaper goods are more important than our survival are fools. When would tariffs be a good thing? Well right now. If we raise tariffs on all Chinese goods, we might cut off most of the money China is depending on to bully the world. Why even do higher tariffs? Just refuse to trade with a country whose stated goal is to destroy us.
