Russia’s 300,000 tons of diesel and Rubio’s sanctions on the International Criminal Court hit the same target: the globalist apparatus George Soros built. Susan Kokinda follows the fight from Navi Pillay’s Nobel to Rubio in Athens and a Columbus Day proclamation quoting Pope Leo XIII.
From steel mills to shipyards to spaceports, Mike Steger explores Trump’s “Freedom’s Forge 2.0”—a vision to rebuild American industry, revive the West, and relight the torch of progress.
Trump broke ground on the biggest new American shipyard since WWII, on the old Bethlehem Steel site. A day later, Rubio told the West to reindustrialize or accept decline. With 25 days to go, here's why the midterms will be won on the economy, and why you have to vote on the future.
Susan contrasts Trump’s Iowa mega mill and first U.S. iron ore mine in 50 years—tariffs, EXIM credit, mine-to-mill—with Carney’s summit: airport concessions, raw exports, and only 8 non-military factories.
This midweek update contrasts two investment stories. On Monday, President Trump announced a $15 billion Mesabi Metallics steel mill in Iowa, supplied by the first new iron ore mine in the United States in 50 years, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Export-Import Bank Chairman John Jovanovic and Mesabi Metallics’ Rewant Ruia laid out how tariffs, government credit and a complete American supply chain made it possible: a crash course in the American System of economics. Two weeks earlier, Mark Carney’s Canada Investment Summit claimed nearly $500 billion in new investment, but the first thing on the block was long-term concessions on Canada’s four largest airports, and of its 167 projects, 63 are mining and metals while only 8 are non-military domestic manufacturing, as Stelco announces up to 500 job cuts in Hamilton. The episode then turns to Canada’s MAID program, with 16,499 assisted deaths in 2024, and to Sir Julian Huxley, UNESCO’s first director-general, who wrote in 1946 that “much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.” It closes with the official U.S. poverty rate falling to 10.2%, record-low child and Hispanic poverty, and a new optimism about America’s future.
