Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland’s first ministers push independence as Labour betrays Brexit. Carney’s Canada–Ukraine 100-year pact, EU associate talk, and rate-hike “noise” target Trump’s midterms.
$5,000 price on the midterms. AfD cracked Europe’s firewall. Dallas named the fight. Seven weeks out — and London’s map just got redrawn.
Bruce Director digs into your comments from the Aug 29 class: why the British System is inherently entropic, why no equation can predict a creative discovery, and how frontier science backs the American System’s idea of man.
Due largely to President Donald Trump's praise for McKinley's tariff policy, as well as Trump's restoring McKinley's name to our nation's highest peak, he is once again being discussed.
But how much does the average American, or the average Republican elected official, know about McKinley? Probably not very much.
It is as if he was erased from our nation's collective memory on the day he was assassinated by a British agent.
Yet he is a total mystery to most Americans.
Yes, McKinley was the great champion of Protective Tariffs. His 1890 McKinley Tariff was the highest in the nation's history, and he accomplished the creation of a productive economic powerhouse in America, the likes of which had never been seen before.
But he was more than just "Mr. Tariff." Much more.
And always—always—he stood unflinchingly for the Principles of the American Republic. In a speech in 1891, he declared:
"PRINCIPLES MUST ALWAYS LEAD; they are the advance guard of right thought and action. . . . The Declaration of Independence, which sounded the voice of liberty to all mankind, was in advance of the thought of the great body of the people. . . . It took a hundred years of National life and National thought and earnest agitation, and at last wasting war, to place this Government where the Declaration of Independence anchored it..."
McKinley was a hero, one of our greatest Presidents, perhaps the greatest after Washington and Lincoln.

Cable news is arguing eggs, beef, gas, and Iran. Bruce Director spent Saturday night on the real midterm question: American System vs. British System — two flavors of the same entropy, and nine weeks to pick a future.
Chatbots dominate the AI argument. Brian Lantz spent Saturday night on the other kind — robots, machine shops, and factory floors — and why manufacturing, not the data center, is where the country actually gets richer.
Nixon called it “temporary.” 55 years later it’s still policy. Will Wertz reads the paper trail — the secret Kissinger memo, the Volcker Group, Britain’s run on Fort Knox — and the principles of the new Bretton Woods Trump’s Treasury says is underway.
