President Donald Trump has announced sweeping new tariffs on most goods imported into the U.S. from abroad. His flat 10 percent levy on all imported products and services came into effect on Saturday. Starting Wednesday, American tariffs will rise higher, in some cases quite dramatically so, on the European Union, China, India, Vietnam, and some of our Asian allies such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwanโ€”which have for decades unabashedly run large trade surpluses.

The new Robert De Niro show is elite propaganda

The year was 2012, and I was 16, watching Mitt Romney debate Barack Obama on TV with my stepdad, a log truck driver whoโ€™d raised me since the age of fiveโ€”and whose verdict was this: โ€œIt donโ€™t matter anyhow.โ€ He said it, spitting his Copenhagen longcut into a Dr. Pepper can. โ€œTheyย already decided whoโ€™s gonna win anyway.โ€

When asked why he robbed banks, legendary fugitive Willie Sutton replied, โ€œThatโ€™s where the money is.โ€ Governments coerce social media platforms into censorship for the same simple reason: Thatโ€™s where the objectionable speech is.ย

Lake: Itโ€™s 1968 all over again, the year that left two leaders dead and shattered our politics

For months now, the parallels between 2024 and 1968 have seemed eerie. The Democratic convention is once again in Chicago this August, as it was 56 years ago. The Democratic incumbent, once again, is despised by his left-wing base and seems out of touch with voters. College campuses are once again aflame over a foreign war.
