Trump Comment Re, ABC News

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

The U.S. administration has also warned China not to aid Iran’s military effort. But earlier this week, Trump downplayed a Wall Street Journal report that Chinese entities had supplied Tehran with satellite images of a Jordanian military base ahead of an Iran strike in July that killed three U.S. soldiers working there.

“You know, when they say that China spies on us, I say you’re right, and we spy on them too,” Trump told reporters. 

My comment in return would be, Our spying has not directly or indirectly killed any Chinese Troops.

The Left’s Hatred Exposed

ER: Judicial Watch

We obtained 133 pages of records from Utah Valley University (UVU) revealing sharply anti-Charlie Kirk messages from individuals identified as university faculty or instructors in the weeks following Kirk’s assassination on the UVU campus.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was killed on September 10, 2025, while kicking off a speaking tour at college campuses.

We received the records through a Utah Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) request for emails and text messages concerning Kirk involving then-UVU President Astrid S. Tuminez.

The records include a September 22 email apparently written by a UVU instructor to President Tuminez. The writer referred to “students we are trying to educate” and attacked Kirk in stark terms:

Charlie Kirk appealed to the worst of us. He spoke his prejudices openly, not to test free speech, but to shape minds. He targeted impressionable youth, feeding on their fears and anxieties….

The hidden message in his rants was clear: hate is natural, and to resist it is to deny who you are. Hate masquerading as justice is nothing of the sort. True justice seeks fairness, accountability, and protection for all, while hate targets, divides, and destroys….

That is why we must resist any effort to memorialize him or turn him into an icon…. Charlie Kirk did not stand for civility, compassion, or truth. There was nothing civil about him.

The Global Economy Myth

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

The view that we need a global economy is nothing short of science fiction. These wars and how they have played out illustrate the folly of such an unrealistic concept. The world is divided. We can see it in the alliances in these wars; each faction is using economics to punish the other. These are supposedly trading partners, yet we let them run trade surpluses with us? How is that fair to America when even our corporations chase cheap labor all over the world?

I say we bring all manufacturing back to our shores and become self-sufficient. Our trading clients are not our friends and, in some cases, are enemies who are indirectly killing our troops by sharing intelligence and supplying weapons. We only trade with countries that share our worldview and respect workers’ rights to some degree. Loosen up our control-freak regulations on businesses to some degree and let our economy loose.

As Americans, we can help by changing our buying habits. When at all possible, buy American, even if it costs more. Most of us can do that. If you can’t find something you want made here, ask yourself if you really need it. Do not support countries that hate us and our freedoms, or you are part of the problem and deserve what you get in the end.
