Buying American is about more than the price tag

By Karen Post | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice This year, our country turns 250. Anniversaries are not just markers of time — they are moments of reflection. What kind of America do we want to be for the next 250 years? My answer is simple: one that invests in its own prosperity. I am a 65-year-old serial entrepreneur who recently secured a license with America250 and Freedom250, to produce a line of American Prosperity Keepsakes. The prosperity pillow is our hero product. The concept of prosperity pillows isn’t new. They’ve existed in cultures for thousands of years, often tied to symbols of luck and fortune. My version is different — distinctly American.  This pillow is not about luck. It is about grit, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of the American D...

Trump Urges Supreme Court to Restore Presidential Tariff Powers

By Christina Shaw | Fox News Treasury warns striking down tariffs could force refund of $159B already collected since August The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court Wednesday to quickly make a decision on whether President Donald Trump has the authority to impose his sweeping tariffs under federal emergency law. This appeal is a result of a federal appeals court ruling 7-4 that a vast majority of Trump’s tariffs were illegal according to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act even though it allowed the duties to remain until the case was resolved. Many states and small businesses challenged Trump’s tariffs in a lawsuit saying they were causing serious economic harm. "These unlawful tariffs are inflicting serious harm on small businesses and jeopardizin...

Inflation relief hands Trump a talking point on tariffs and the economy

By Randy DeSoto | The Western Journal President Donald Trump took a shot at Goldman Sachs’ CEO and its economists Tuesday while touting July’s inflation number, which came in cooler than expected. Goldman Sachs was among the many investment firms that predicted in April that Trump’s tariff policy would be inflationary, tank the stock market, and likely cause a recession. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the consumer price index rose 2.7 percent in July compared to the same month last year and rose 0.2 percent from June. That compares to a 2.8 percent increase predicted by Wall Street, according to CNBC. Trump responded to the report, posting on Truth Social, “Trillions of Dollars are being taken in on Tariffs, which has been incredib...

Walcher: Breaking China’s grip on rare earth minerals begins with real mining at home

By Greg Walcher | Commentary, GregWalcher.com Energy Secretary Chris Wright went to Wyoming last week to cut the ribbon on the first new rare earth mine in the U.S. since the 1950s. Telling the assembled guests and reporters that the “Brook Mine” is critical to breaking China’s “stranglehold on rare earth processing,” he hinted that it might be the first of several. It should be. A few years ago, I visited Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar and when discussing the need for domestic production of vital minerals, he picked up a dark brown rock from the Mojave Desert, explaining that it was mostly composed of a “rare earth” element. He said millions of such rocks littered the desert in his district, yet the United States imported 100 percent of the mineral it contains. That situation has no...

Trump lands ‘biggest of all’ trade deal with EU as bloc pledges $600B investment and $750B in U.S. energy

By Daniel Chaitin | Daily Wire Agreement was struck ahead of the August 1 deadline. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday the “biggest” trade deal of them all with the European Union (EU). Sitting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland, Trump read off a piece of paper the various major takeaways from their agreement. As part of the deal, per Trump’s description, the EU will purchase $750 billion worth of energy from the United States, agree to invest $600 billion more than the bloc is already investing, open up its countries up to trade with America, and buy a “vast amount” of military equipment. Trump also noted the tariffs for automobiles and other EU imports will be a “straight across” rate of 15%. However, he said th...

Post editorial board: Trump’s tariffs are doing what critics said they couldn’t

By Post Editorial Board | New York Post For all the “sky-is-falling” cries over President Donald Trump’s tariffs, it looks like his strategy may be working — just as his Aug. 1 deadline nears. In the past week, the Trump folks struck deals with Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines — and may be on the verge of a deal with Europe: On Friday, the prez cited a 50-50 chance of reaching an agreement with the European Union. These developments — on top of previous deals with Vietnam, the United Kingdom and a framework on rare-earth exports and tech restrictions with China — go a long way toward standing up Trump’s vision for the international economy, with better terms for America. And at least so far, no catastrophic fallout. Heck, the nation looks poised to benefit enormously on sev...

Ganahl: What’s inside the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’—and why it’s a game-changer for families and freedom

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice They’re calling it the “Big Beautiful Bill”—and whether you love it or hate it, it’s the boldest shakeup to our tax and spending system since Trump’s 2017 tax cuts. Officially titled the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, this legislation does a lot: extends the Trump tax cuts, rewrites how safety net programs work, beefs up border and defense spending, and trims down the green energy handouts. There’s plenty to cheer—and plenty to argue over. Here’s a quick tour of what’s in the final version. Tax cuts for working families and seniors The Big Beautiful Bill locks in the 2017 marginal rate cuts and doubles the standard deduction, giving most families broad-based relief. The Child Tax Credit also gets a temporary ...
