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.
Bessent explains Wall Street, the financial press, and Democrats keep being proved wrong—contrasting Canada’s job losses with a blowout U.S. jobs report, calling out FT/WSJ panic, and framing a Red Queen economy that must outrun debt, China, and skills gaps.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells Steve Bannon that critics in Wall Street, the financial press, and Democrats keep being proved wrong, contrasting Canada’s job losses with a strong U.S. jobs report and citing expansions like Boeing’s Charleston Dreamliner facility. He accuses outlets including the Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal of stoking economic panic to stop Trump, pointing to a report about Norway’s sovereign fund “dumping” Treasuries that he calls fake, saying Norway sought higher-yield U.S. agency securities. The episode frames today’s U.S. situation as a “Red Queen economy,” arguing growth and productivity must outrun debt, China’s rivalry, and infrastructure and skills gaps, while blaming prior spending and inflation for current constraints. It highlights workforce plans including apprenticeships and the new Foundry School using a Stanford-developed advanced manufacturing curriculum tied to the PAX Silica supply-chain partnership, and covers Trump executive orders aiding ranchers and a DOJ antitrust probe into major meatpackers and retailers.
