@KimStrassel Kimberly,
Sorry, the WSJ went woke and lost my subscription a few years ago. You’re the only columnist of value remaining.

@GordonGChang @SebGorka Not the geniuses in the Pentagon, per se. It was and still is the USAF leadership.

Tax Cuts, Tariffs, Venezuela, and Iran.

We are witnessing a fundamental and irreversible change in the way people think about governance.

Just three years ago, political progressivist tenets such as DEI, climate change, unrestrained government spending, and globalism achieved a zenith of influence and power.  Suddenly and broadly, progressivism is becoming an exhausted and discredited political philosophy both within nations and on the international stage.

This decline is occurring because of the Trump Administration’s single-minded pursuit of national interests as the organizing principle of a government's behavior.  Indeed, the many successes of the Administration are changing people's underlying assumptions of how to best attain economic growth, how to best optimize freedom and prosperity, and how to best protect and safekeep a national population.  This shift is also re-shaping expectations of national political leaders: their duties, obligations, and priorities are being re-focused on serving the interests of their constituents rather than serving some vague notions of global interdependence.  To be sure, this conceptual shift is only beginning, but it is taking hold and it portends greater change to come.

In fact, this change is so profound that it seems likely we are on the cusp of a third wave of liberty and prosperity growth around the globe.  The first wave occurred in the 1800's as nations and peoples adopted the freedom-oriented principles spelled out in the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.  The second wave followed in the mid 1900's as nations emerged from colonial status and again adopted language from the U.S. founding documents to guide their newfound nation's establishment. 

A third wave is building.

Dear CP,
First, thanks for your posts! You provide insightful analysis drenched in common sense.

Regarding the AWFL’s, I think the problem is rooted in their ‘worldview’ or faith framework. They operate within a secular-humanist perspective, which is inherently divisive and inconsistent.

I think our challenge is getting Judeo-Christian values back into mainstream education.

@elonmusk Nope

[Steve Litwiller @litwillers]

@elonmusk You’re starting to sound like that other billionaire loser…

[Steve Litwiller @litwillers]

To make this statement, you must be relying on the static CBO scoring —- which has been proven wrong time and time again when estimating the impact of tax reductions.

Yes, we all want to cut government spending, but it makes sense that debt reduction follows a GROWING economy. The bill necessarily emphasizes growth.

@HuntsmanCap @Bitcoin_Teddy That’s good

[Steve Litwiller @litwillers]

Nah, his skewed perspective is highlighted by his consistent referencing of illegal wars. Wars are not made ‘legal’ by UN action. Nations are sovereign entities in the global environment. His telling of the sequence of events is detailed, but as already mentioned in the comments, his one-sidedness suggests he is propagandizing.

[Steve Litwiller @litwillers]

@HuntsmanCap I dunno. Maybe look at Venezuela recent history and see what happened to their bond market.

@realDonaldTrump

Mr. President,

Please nominate Governor DeSantis for AG.

@VivekGRamaswamy

Mr. Ramaswamy,

Thanks for taking on the DOGE task!
You and Elon will have an incredible impact on the long-term health of our Nation. In addition to cutting spending and delivering efficiencies, please consider the need to affirm the core principles of a prosperous and free society.

They are: (1) Limited government powers and guaranteed individual rights, (2) the Rule of Law, (3) the Right of Private Property Ownership, (4) A Free-Market Economy, and, (5) A Virtuous Citizenry (common values).

As a country, we've gotten in our current perilous place because we've ignored these principles, and part of "fixing' our future should include a re-emphasis on these governing principles.

Thanks for your consideration.

Steve

The President ‘runs’ the executive branch of the federal government. The position DOES NOT ‘run’ the country!!
