Banning diesel exports won't lower the price at the pump, it will raise it. You don't fix a shortage by telling American refiners to make less. We tried export bans in the 1970s. They failed then and they'll fail now. Produce more, permit faster, refine here.
The front-page headline you didn’t see yesterday. But should have (thanks to AI).
NONE reported the biggest economic/finance story of the year on the front page.
That’s because it’s evidence that Trump’s economic policies are working for everyone!
The Trump Economy has delivered record-low poverty rates AND big increases in incomes.
We have a construction boom going on in America thanks to AI and data centers.
There’s just one big sore thumb in the economy: high oil prices.
90% of Big Tech donations STILL fund Democrats.
Netflix: 99%
Airbnb: 99%
Salesforce: 98%
LinkedIn: 97%
Google: 96%
Meta: 96%
Apple: 94%
Oracle: 88%
These are the same firms that profess to support diversity of viewpoints.
Politicians spent like borrowing was free, and now taxpayers are getting the bill.
Government borrowing costs are rising across the developed world. Maybe bond markets are telling politicians to stop spending and borrowing money they don’t have.
Oil at $100 is a tax on the economy.
But the Fed must not fall into the trap that growth causes inflation. The way to get out of the inflation problem is to GROW the economy.
Other than oil, the economy is doing so well. We are primed for a BOOM! 🇺🇸
The stronger the teachers unions, the fewer early literacy reforms states have adopted.
Blue states average just 9 of 18 key literacy policies, compared with 13.5 in red and purple states.
Children’s ability to read should come BEFORE union power.
Trumponomics is making America WEALTHIER.
American household net worth surged $12.8 trillion in the second quarter, a 7% jump, as the booming stock market lifted wealth.
Total American assets are now approaching $200 trillion.
30 million American men are single, up 47% since 2000.
This is bigger than a dating problem. It threatens our economy, our traditional family structure, and our nation’s happiness.
America’s future depends on strong families!
America’s manufacturing boom is real.
Manufacturing profits surged $64.2 billion in the second quarter, up an eye-popping 67% from last year.
Factories are producing, hiring, and paying more. America is building things again under the Trump Economy!
The “billion-dollar taxpayer subsidy” to data centers is largely a myth.
Standard sales tax exemptions for business equipment are not corporate handouts. Data centers generate massive local revenue, including $1.3 billion in property taxes funding 40% of Loudoun County’s budget.
Why do government employees receive 40% more in total compensation than private-sector workers?
Government employees cost 42% more, with wages 24% higher and benefits 83% more generous.
Taxpayers should not be forced to fund a government compensation system far richer than their own.
I warned for six years that children would pay a lasting price for COVID school shutdowns.
The latest global test scores confirm it. Math and reading scores have crashed, with the poorest and lowest-performing students suffering most.
Mediocrity cannot become the new standard in government-run schools. Our children deserve better!
California’s newest transit boondoggle:

California can't build enough homes, refineries, or water storage, but it never runs out of money for rail lines to nowhere.

America added more than 440,000 new millionaires last year, over 1,000 every day.
We are now home to roughly 23.6 million millionaires, more than any other nation.
Free markets continue to create extraordinary opportunities for Americans to build wealth!
Real median household income barely increased under Biden.
In President Trump’s first 14 months, it rose by $2,800 after inflation. Even after the spike in oil prices, Americans are still up roughly $2,000.
When oil falls below $70 a barrel, incomes will start rising rapidly again.
OECD data place the United States among the world’s leaders in median disposable household income.
America’s market-driven economy has produced exceptionally high living standards for its middle class. Free markets create opportunity, innovation, and broadly shared prosperity. 🇺🇸
Americans are voting with their feet against Big Labor.
From 2020 to 2025, lightly unionized states gained 3.5 million Americans, while heavily unionized states lost nearly 3.9 million.
Workers are moving where jobs are growing, and it is not in union-dominated states.
Consumer spending remains at record levels as America experiences the greatest economic boom in world history.
We have created millions of new millionaires.
What a shame we did not let Americans invest part of their Social Security money in the market 20 years ago!
