Trump got Xi's "secret garden" tour, Bessent cornered the City of London, and the Senate revolted in his favor. Across this week's shows, one frame keeps surfacing: the American System is back, and the empire is out of moves.
As globalization collapses, America faces a deeper crisis of culture, identity, and purpose. Mike explores Poe’s “Descent into the Maelstrom,” the rebuilding of American industry, the conflict with Iran, and the spiritual foundations needed to revive the nation.
No class this Memorial Day weekend. A short note on the origins of the holiday, a thank you to our supporters, and a look at next Saturday — Bruce Director returns.
We're reporting news in the aftermath of the GOP convention -- the GOP's move toward the working class, freak outs against J.D. Vance, a profound speech by Pastor Sewell at the convention, and more.
On the final day of the Republican Party Convention, Ruy Teixiera of the Liberal Patriot joined the growing number of voices who recognize that "The GOP seems to be leaning into its emerging identity as a working-class party." Teixiera points to the fire-breathing speech given by Teamsters President Sean O'Brien on the first day of the convention. Invited by the RNC, O'Brien took no prisoners in denouncing both big business and globalists companies like Amazon for "waging a war on American workers." To the discomfort of many in the crowd, he also staunchly defended the role of trade unions. The rest of Teixiera's article focused on J.D. Vance's speech and his attacks on America's ruling class, on the free-trade policies which have destroyed American jobs. Among the extensive quotes he chooses from Vance's speech, this one stands out: "We're done, ladies and gentlemen, catering to Wall Street. We'll commit to the working man."
