It’s hard to believe it was just a week ago that we held the Ron Paul Institute’s Spring Conference here in Lake Jackson. The mad frenzy to make sure the thousand things that could go wrong did not go wrong. Last minute mini-crises. Sleepless nights (for me at least). And then finally the arrival of the wonderful people who helped make this day one for the record books.

David Stockman on the Fallacy of Reciprocal TariffsIt should be obvious by now that the Donald’s north star is “winning” and nothing else, and that he keeps score by whatever metric is handy. On trade, the scorecard is simply the bilateral merchandise trade balance of whichever country comes to mind at any given moment, and, crucially, whether the balance figure has a plus or minus sign in front of it.

The US and China came closer to a full-fledged trade war last week when China imposed tariffs of up to 15 percent on key US agricultural exports. This was retaliation for President Trump’s increasing of tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States from 10 percent to 20 percent. China’s retaliatory tariffs show how export-dependent industries are harmed by protectionist policies.

It goes without saying that the Donald can never get enough of the limelight. But recently in a live Oval Office broadcast seen around the world that thirst for public attention may have actually changed the course of history. And very much for the good—even if the trigger was pulled by a third rate actor who couldn’t even figure out how to properly brown-nose one of the most capacious egos on the planet.

David Stockman on Why It’s Time For Kash to Go After The Rogue FBIThey must be sweating bullets in the Washington Swamp. Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI director, and that means there is going to be a caravan of DOGE trucks hauling out the dead bodies right soon. Especially after the FBI went all-in on the Deep State campaign to defenestrate Donald Trump in 2016 and after, the level of lawlessness and blatant attacks on constitutional processes emanating from the J.

David Stockman on Why The House GOP’s Budget Resolution Hides A $4.4 Trillion Deficit FraudWhat in the hell are these GOP fiscal frauds thinking? The whole point of the 1974 budget act and its mechanism of budget resolutions and reconciliation instructions was to enable elected politician to curb their propensity to spend and borrow, and to thereby put an effective lid on the public debt.

There is not a snowball’s chance in the hot place of containing America’s public debt disaster unless the Empire is brought home and the national security budget is slashed by $500 billion per year. The merits aside, all the other big slices of the budget led by Social Security and Medicare are surrounded by nearly impenetrable political moats. Fortunately, the $500 billion savings from the national security budget is not only doable but fully warranted on the merits.

Wildfires, Fried Smelt, and the Hoary Hoax of a Burning Planet Here they go again, blaming the wildfire catastrophe in Los Angeles on Climate Change when the actual culprits are the very politicians who never stop howling about what is a monumental hoax. In the first place, of course, the current raging California fires, like those which have periodically gone before, are largely a function of misguided government policies.
