What our betters – those same smug geniuses who brought us Iraq, let NATO deadbeats string us along, and who let Mexico and China exploit us – truly hate is the fact that the American people stood up in 2016 and demanded that our foreign policy stop sucking. Americans are sick of always getting handed the bill for some lame ruling caste priority, whether it’s paying for the privilege of defending Europe on behalf of ungrateful continentals or funding the weird climate religion or letting China get rich off of gutting our industries. Mostly, we are sick of shipping our magnificent warriors off to die in ill-conceived, poorly-planned,

There are a lot more Hunter Bidens and Chelsea Clintons out there that we can even imagine, making millions in easy corrupt money. When Trillions of dollars are shifted, the Elite always skim the cream off the top. They MAKE money when a factory is closed and jobs are shipped to Singapore.

The Dems hate Trump because he is successfully working for the people. They don’t like that. The Dems main interest is just having the power of office and control of the treasury. Then they satisfy their their rich donors and their stupid ideas, while getting kickbacks, then start dribbling out enough just goodies to the uninformed to keep them happy enough to keep voting for them.

Excellent article. Definitely agree with the author's arguments. There is nothing wrong with his style and turn of phrase either. Whocaresistan? Brilliant, It is galling to see our young women and men march off to these hellholes and come back horrifically wounded or not come back at all when we know that we have the power and might to defeat this barbaric enemy if we had the will to do so. Thank goodness that this President cares more for these families than he does what the warmongers think of him. I am no pacifist by any means, I, like most of the people I talk to, am tired of timidity at the expense of our soldiers when it comes to fighting. We must go in with the mindset to defeat our enemies. Period. No more nation building, that must rise up from the people. You cannot change the hearts and minds of people who do not want change.
I guarantee if any American interest is ever threatened or is attacked, this President will respond effectively and in a manner in which he should. Too many people are getting rich off the suffering of our men and women. That needs to stop. I marvel at how this President has his finger on the pulse of how Americans feel about this issue. He gets it. He gets us. We are all sick and tired of a corrupt Congress making laws that do not effect them, sending our sons and daughters to war while they send theirs to scoop up the spoils, and how utterly craven they are when they cannot even police them themselves when their corruption is now exposed and commonplace. A coup is going on right under their noses and they seem indifferent. The Republic is hanging by a thread and all they can think about is their next election, how they can steal from the American taxpayer, and if they are getting favorable press. This President stands heads and shoulders above these small minded, venal men and women who never stick their necks out unless it benefits them. Thank God for President Trump! They can nitpick all they want but Americans are sticking with him because he is the only one sticking with us. Now more than ever, Trump 2020!

FTA "If your exit criteria for closing out some overseas adventure is “We can leave when things are stable” in a place that hasn’t been stable in 5000 years, you are advocating for “endless war.” Amen Kurt Amen!

There may be many fine people amongst the Kurds and I’m truly sorry for them to be so unfortunate to be the wrong kind of people in the wrong place. If only they can have a set-up like Switzerland and be left alone.

In a nutshell.......
“The American people have had enough of stupid trade deals, of stupid border shenanigans and of stupid wars.”
And that is precisely why we will vote for a second term for President Trump.

The elites, aka the dims, the RINO pubbies, the deep state, entertainment industry, the academic intelligencia, and the msm see the President as an existential threat to their longed-for socialist utopia. Having American values which include belief in God, self-respect for others, the family unit, freedom of speech, and the right to bear arms in view of a limited government, blocks that little utopian meme. Good.

There is at least one truly outstanding article posted here every day and this is it.
For decades, Americans have looked up to Europeans like the nerds in a high school class typically look up to the rich kids, the football stars and the prom queens. We saw their fine wines, fine dining restaurants and ancient cathedrals and assumed that modern day elites were just as fine. We were wrong. The euros used us to fight their wars, finance their not-so-clever schemes of government and bankroll everything else. The people living there are not special, they just know how to shame, condescend and manipulate. Donald Trump knows that, he refuses to play the game. The euros have been exposed for what they are, dreamers, lazy, and willing to take advantage. Their latest one-world big idea has been their undoing, opening up their countries to the world's unfortunate migrants, attempting to get rich off the cheap labor of third world pseudo slaves. The jokes on them, their countries have been turned into garbage dumps and their people live in fear of hostile barbarians. America will soon be called upon to save them from their stupid elitism. This time we will say "No." The Prom Queen is not as pretty as she would like us to believe and the snooty royalty is all a facade. I'll choose that little blue-eyed cheerleader from Nebraska every time.

Over the last 30 years American foreign policy (Nafta, unrestricted trade with Asia/China) has led to closure of the majority of America's factories. Millions of people have seen their factory jobs eliminated and have had to resort to other jobs with much less pay for which they are over skilled. Previous to this was a campaign that American companies that had their products built in countries using child labor was shameful. And similar arguments against using foreign slave labor. But ironically there were articles in National Review defending the use of such labor sources all under the Libertarian ideology. Most of the foreign countries where our factories were relocated have governments that are highly oppressive and the people are essentially slaves.
Couple that with large numbers of H1-B's brought in under the lie that there was a shortage of science professionals. The H1-B's worked for far less money because they come from non-free market oppressive countries. Wages of American science professionals were driven down to nearly half. Young students are eschewing STEM degrees today because there is no money in it. Compare inflation corrected starting salaries for engineers in 1975 with today. Then compare average salaries. It's about half. Now there really is a shortage of graduating science professionals.
Plus the cost of inflation corrected college is up by nearly a factor of five. I worked my way through college earning nearly minimum wage. It would be hard to do that today even if one was earning the American average family income.
The American companies profit margins increased. The rich got richer. I'm all for maximizing profit but not at the expense of doing things that are immoral. Child labor and slave labor are immoral. Republicans and Democrats alike have been just fine with all of this. It seems now the only thing the media cares about is the race for who becomes the first trillionaire. And for that race profits must be maximized in every way possible no matter the fallout.
In all of DC and the leadership on both coasts there is only one person who has acted against all this.
Trump. Period. No one else.
Once Trump is gone the Trans Pacific Trade deal is back on. Nafta will be expanded instead of renegotiated. The standard of living for Americans will take another dive.
