Yesterday I watched the press conference with Mark Carney of Canada. He was ranting about how Trump is trying to hurt Canadian workers with Tariffs. It’s quite funny, he never mentioned the Canadian tariffs they put on us.

So, Carney is no better than the last clown. He is still trying to sell a lie instead of explaining how Canada will compete fairly with America. I recently read that we are responsible for about 40% of Canada’s economy due to their export imbalance with us. Surely Canadian citizens are as capable of doing anything Americans can do. It is not like we are special humans. No, what makes us special is our freedom and lack of Socialism. America was fast chasing Canada and Europe down the Marxist road, but our leadership changed and we are moving back toward free enterprise capitalism. Canada and the rest of the world had best smell the roses and try to figure out the new course.

You know, it is quite interesting to me to see how this has evolved. Actually, starting in 1913 the Socialists took over our banking and ever so slowly modified our system to sell America in their socialist ideas. But, it failed!

Now, the rest of the world is really confused. Almost over night America is acting very strangely. We are acting like we did in 1870! Tariffs? Golden Age? Balanced Budget? What the Hell is all this?

I feel sorry for the rest of the world. They are out of touch with reality.

In 1945, as the world war ended, Europe was caught between America 3000 miles to the West and the U.S.S.R. Immediately to the East. And, those two entities were still at war, the Cold War. The problem for Europe was, who was going to win? Was America’s Capitalism to prevail or the Soviet’s Communism? I am afraid they tried playing it down the middle.

Meanwhile, Canada was still under the Crown, but was not 3000 miles away from America. I think we can see today how Socialism made inroads in Europe slightly faster than in Canada. Our problem here in America was it was making inroads here too.

Trump merely put our foot down for us. No more of our support for Socialism anywhere! We are out of the social engineering business. Deal with it.

Anyway, that is my opinion based on what I have merely observed during my life. I have not one speck of proof to offer.

But every day I am further convinced my take is correct. I feel sorry for both Canada and Europe, they are now on their own to figure out which way they choose to go. Down the middle works in Golf. In economics it can’t win.

By the way, Russia figured this out as the Berlin Wall came down. China has a ways to go yet. They are toying with Capitalism but not in a really workable way. They still miss the key issue of personal property rights.

What always steams my broccoli is that postwar Europe was rebuilt by us and given decades of favorable defense (and God knows what else) assistance, so once they began building their economies back, what did they do? They instituted cradle-to-grave citizen subsidies, while we were still paying for their defense and their trade tariffs. And we are over here trying to live long enough to collect our paltry SS benefits that we paid into. Grrrrrr!

It was a well planned (and very successful) operation for them….at least until recently!

I’ve observed this my entire lifetime, too, and (even without definitive evidence) concur completely with your assessment!

Thinking of this rationally, I become more impressed with America. What funded all of this for 155 years was our ability to not only survive, but to have stock markets thriving due to prosperous businesses. So, we have the two economies I have been mentioning here for months.

The government economy that has been picking the pockets of business has failed because it cannot continue borrowing because the interest on the debt is debilitating.

Meanwhile, the corporate business is still going strong and making money every year. And, it all comes down to Socialism. Our government has tried to justify taxation by offering more social programs. They are never going to be profitable and the key is government must be as small as possible, not expanding yearly.

The exact opposite is true for a Capitalistic operation. Thus, the booming business economy.

I hope this help explain Trump’s perspective and game plan. He is shrinking government and promising a surge in prosperity because he understand America. Understanding America is all anyone needs to know. It is really quite simple. What we need is more of what works well and less of what is a losing proposition.

The world [they] thought they understood has been stood on its head by Trump and more importantly, the people who elected him.

They have a few choices: deny their eyes and ears and go down the drain; change gears and be more Trumpian; or double down on their failing strategy. I would not bet on any of them to make the correct choice. [They] are doubling down, seems to me, if their actions in Romania are any indication.

This is the key point here, Jim, ‘…what makes us special is our freedom and lack of Socialism.’ We grew up without Socialism and that’s what our unique spark is! Stubborn, too. Plus, most of us don’t care a flip about what some celebrity states.

The globalists are pretty desperate to put one of their top bankers in a politicians role....I wonder if Carney is a wee bit pissed having to come out of the shadows to do his master's bidding......

That is a very good question. It confused me when I learned Carney is an ex-central banker. It seemed to me that Canada was failing to recognize the real problem, loose credit and too much debt.

Of course, America has been the world leader in deficit spending because it was an integral part of the Cabal’s plan to bankrupt America. It took an expert on bankruptcy to do the right thing. Trump merely did what President Grant needed to do in 1871, go ahead and bankrupt a broke organization and tell the Cabal to kiss off. But, that was not to be in 1871 and Grant somehow thought borrowing from Europe to bail out America could end well. Well, in hindsight he was right. It is ending well after 155 years of losing money every year, by design.

The rest of the world is confused. Suddenly America isn’t acting right and taking on more debt. The Cabal is pissed, Europe and Canada are confused, and a few countries are applauding. What a great time to be alive! America is returning to greatness.
