FWIW,

Biden is headed to Australia for a Quad meeting on 24 May.

Enroute he'll be stopping in Port Moresby, supposedly meeting with both the Papua New Guinea PM Marape, and as well, India's PM Modi.

I read the whole thing.

Without putting too fine a point on it, Sullivan is a blithering idiot.

The notion that the US can reindustrialize to any meaningful degree on the basis of "green energy" is utter nonsense. Cheap and abundant energy is the key to prosperity.

It’s more about making China a scapegoat for the coming economic issues, and justifying more money being funneled to Democratic Fundraisers and protecting their industries, rather than actually building a real industrial revival.

Build back better, shovel ready jobs, green new deal were earlier incarcerations of this policy. Solyandra was a poster child.

It may also be a warning to China of possible consequences if they keep supporting Russia, and de-dollarization.

I'm telling you, the American public as a whole is oblivious to the truth of what's going on in the world, or to any alternative explanation that attempts to makes sense of the nonsense (e.g., the Russians blew up their own pipeline, or maybe it was six guys on a rented yacht). The corporate media absolutely controls the message. My wild ass guess that only half the adult population pays attention to the news at all, and 90% of those that "do" get it from social media newsfeed headlines.

I ran into an old friend I haven't seen in years, ostensibly conservative but works in higher education at a top medical school. Said with conviction that Russia invaded Ukraine because Putin was terminally ill and wanted the country before he died. I literally got dizzy when I heard this. (When I say "literally" I mean "literally" not "virtually")

Point is, these people will never hear Macgregor. They'll never read RFK Jr's book because it wasn't hustled on Oprah or whatever. Fox fired the top rated and only bomb-thrower they have. It boggles my mind that how the mainstream media outlets are completely fungible and completely corrupted, trotting out uniform spoon-fed narratives and the public takes it as is.

Did it really happen last month that hundreds of secret Pentagon documents which had purportedly been leaked, but had not entered public circulation yet, were seized into the exclusive control of the Washington Post, and now seem to have basically vanished? Or was that a dream

This seems key: "I see a lot of evidence that the Left has established itself in power and has no intentions under any circumstances of ever giving it up." At least for now, we're in a post-constitutional environment.

In my estimation, the only way to revitalize our country is to phase out the income taxes and phase in a general tariff, assessed per pound of goods imported and applied equally across the board, paid directly to the States, and apportioned by population, who then decide how much to fund and by what means to fund the squatters in DC. Worked for a long time and would work again.

Thanks for the post Mr. Wauck. Just FYI the Sullivan/WH link is broken.

Great all around post. Thank you, Mark!

I just knew when I saw the Macgregor video earlier today that you would post it and highlight it. It provides such an excellent summation of his views regarding the wars over the last century and Ukraine in particular. Furthermore, for anyone who wants to enlighten a friend with the truth about the disaster that is Ukraine, this is a great video to use. Macgregor recounts the Western actions and Russian reactions that led to where we are today, and he does a great job of presenting the Russian perspective throughout this progression. "If you see only one Doug Macgregor video this year..."

As for Mr. Sullivan's attempt at a new Mideast neighborhood, "Would you be my, could you be my... lackey" comes to mind. After Ukraine, I don't think anyone in Europe or in BRICS+ is anxious to board the Zhou ship of fools again, especially while being lectured to and threatened. It doesn't seem this administration will ever be able to humble themselves or recognize the interests of others.

Thank God for (Ret) Colonel Douglas Macgregor. Haven't listened yet, but he just appeared on Robert Kennedy Jr. Podcast. Looking forward to that discussion.

The Chinese will control the price of aluminum and steel.

A fool's errand to think otherwise.

So Jake Sullivan says we should re-industrialize America. I agree! In fact, you might even say we need to make America great again!

But all kidding aside, as anyone in business knows coming up with some great strategic plan is easy compared to actually successfully implementing it. If the plan is to re-industrialize America, then it only makes sense to put the one guy who knows how to do that in charge. Donald J Trump. Thanks for the endorsement, Jake Sullivan!
