International free trading exports your critical industries off shore to China for instance, creating a rust belt, and a superpower that wants to stomp you.

What defeated Japan in WW2 was America’s domestic industrial might, now China has the industrial might, and much stolen pirated technology.

For instance The United States stopped manufacturing antibiotics domestically and many other critical medications and equipment, free trading to cheaper slave labour manufacturers off shore. This created a great national security vulnerability exposed during the COVID crisis, where medical equipment and medications were denied and kept in the hands of manufacturing nations.

This is just a small part of the vulnerability exposure that The United States faced across its entire economy, yet with enormous consequences.

There are many critical industries that are no longer in domestic control, many industries and know how have been lost forever.

Deindustrialising your nation is not a wise move.

The Chinese economic miracle didn’t happen because of the Chinese, it happened because American companies off shored to China to use cheap slave labour and make greater profits selling back to America.

Free trade created Rust belt USA, and modern super power China.

America handed its Liver to China, in the interests of free trade.

Free trade is capitalism without the patriotism.

Just my humble opinion as a Garden contractor, for what it’s worth.
As the grandson and great grandson of coal miners I have a concern. Last time Trump was President he promised to revamp the Coal industry as a viable alternative to oil, or rather a supplement to oil. Many in the coal industry believed his promise and have for the most part disappointed by his not following through on that promise… so is that it, to leave the industry & its workers twisting in the wind?

And we have done that to ourselves by our choices! I guess the old slogan of ‘Buy American’ is not considered by our citizens today, right. So now we are supposed to pay for that lack of consideration.

Well, it’s not entirely America’s fault, Australia supplied China with vast amounts of energy and raw materials.

You didn’t see what Trump was up against his first term?

Trump tried to built a wall as well amongst other things, but was obstructed by Congress the Senate and the bureaucrats.

If he fails you owning the Senate, Congress and his bureaucracy, then you can justly condemn his term in office.

Sorry to interrupt those who are derailing the thread, but Trump is obviously building a powerful cabinet of America First patriots that aren't going to be working against him this time and he has the popular vote behind his choices. It is game over on January 20th when Trump take the quarterback position on his A-Team.

looks like Harmon is winning this here. Less RINOs than before, still a few milling about (Collins, Lisa, et al). Rubio was the only one that really surprised me, but he's better than what we have now - they all are.

RINOs, are you forgetting about them? are expected to follow the battle call.
Besides Trump having learned and witnessed how to play hardball with the power of the government, after the Democrats came in swinging and demonstrated how it could be abused, he has risen from the ashes and take charge as the people's choice, a leader who is on a mission to fulfill the will of the people. Moving against the will of the people which he represents is political suicide and I think these RINOs are quickly understanding that they better get on board or get out of the way.

I will offer one instance of someone that I like who has been nominated to be in President-elect Trump's cabinet:

Chris Wright has been nominated to be Secretary of Energy. Wright is a member of the board of an organization that I have followed for several years - The Property and Environment Research Center( PERC, www.perc.org ) - a libertarian, free market think tank that deals with free market solutions to items such as fisheries, wildlife, forestry, and tribal policy issues; sort of like an environmental Cato Institute.

Yeah, 4 worthless RINOs controlling and denying 76,000,000 voters who want change.

Typical RINOS bunch that needs to go:

1) John Curtis (Utah)
2) Susan Collins (Maine)
3) Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
4) Mitch McConnell (Kentucky)

Too bad because it would have been fun to watch Matt Gaetz take off the gloves. These establishment RINOs can chalk one up for typical RINO inaction but their worthlessness to our party will be bypassed and overcame. Now that the pump has been primed Trump will find another nominee that will be just as dangerous to the corruption in the DOJ we have been facing and those RINOs who are losing all their power, getting no jobs for their family and friends and have just revealed that they are the establishment swamp creatures that everyone wants to be rid of. Political suicide.

Out of 245,000,000 million people of voting age in the United States, or 31%.
Out of the responsible people who used their Constitutional right to vote in which the majority voted for the changes in which Trump proposed. To suggest one should count those who don’t vote in order to discount the results the majority of those who did as some kind of argument has a little problem with critical thinking skills.

Out of the responsible people

There is nothing irresponsible about not voting. We vile, wretched human beings can't govern ourselves. To think that we can govern ourselves collectively is just a furtherance of man's rejection of God's rule, a rejection that Adam started when he sinned in the Garden of Eden.

To simply point out a statistic is not a problem with critical thinking skills. Candidates not actually winning the votes of the majority of those old enough to vote is not something new, it's been that way for a long time; I was simply pointing it out.

Out of the responsible people

The best argument I have read against voting.

David Lipscomb quoting B.U. Watkins in David Lipscomb’s book, On Civil Government: Its Origin, Mission, and Destiny, and the Christian's Relation to It.

“One of the signs of the great Apostacy, was the union of Church and State. Its chosen symbol was a woman upon the back of a seven headed and ten horned beast. It is almost uniformly admitted, among American Protestants, that this is a well chosen symbol to represent the absurd, and unnatural union of Church and State. It is generally conceded, that the woman represents the Church, and the beast the old Roman civil government. This being true, it would appear far more natural for her to be riding the beast, than for him to have his locomotion promoted by the help of the woman! When the State comes forward and proffers its assistance, and the Church voluntarily accepts of such help, it might be a question, which would be the most to blame; the Church for accepting, or the State for offering such assistance. But when the Church gives, unasked, her power to the beast, no excuse can reasonably be pleaded. If the State supporting the Church, is called an adulterous union, I am unable to see, why the union is not equally intimate, and criminal, when the Church supports the State, by participating in all its responsibilities. When the Church offers her fellowship, and co-operation in framing all the laws of the land, and in choosing its judicial and executive officers - when even her members refuse not to become legislators, and are even forward to fill all the offices of human governments, I cannot see, but the relation between church and State, is as intimate as ever, and just as illegal. Ezekiel chided the ancient Hebrews for seeking such union with the nations; and he compares Israel to a woman of the lowest infamy. It is exceedingly painful to me, to see how aptly these symbols of John and Ezekiel apply to modern professors. But how greatly would I rejoice, if the reformation of the 19th century would arise and put on her beautiful garments, and show herself to be the true spouse of Christ. May the good Lord grant that this noble brotherhood, that I so dearly love, may soon see the whole truth! But here, I am met with the objection, that these institutions are ordained of God. And he who resists them resists an ordinance of God, and shall receive punishment. Let me here pause, and remark, that I would sooner be understood as taking the popular view of this passage, rather than appear to countenance any kind of war. Nothing is further from my intention. But the fact of civil government being ordained of God, is no proof of Divine approbation. So long as it can be clearly shown that he has ordained that one sinner should punish another, so long as we read in Isaiah, that Cyrus was sent against Babylon, although he knew not God, so long as we find it not difficult to admit the application of the above passage, to civil government, whether such be its meaning or not. To make the admission saves much time, and leaves the argument much more compact. Something is gained and nothing lost by granting all we can to our opponents. That God can overrule sin, without being responsible for its commission, and without having any complicity with it, is a thing so plain, that to turn aside to explain it would almost be an insult to those for whom these columns are written. Let a hint suffice. Pharaoh was raised up by God for a certain purpose, although his behavior was far from being approved of God. With a few axioms I will close this article. Axiom 1st, No man has the right of making laws for his own government. For such a right would include the double absurdity of making him independent of God, and responsible only to himself! Axiom 2nd. A republican government is one in which power is thought to be delegated by the people to their rulers, in their act of voting. Axiom 3rd. But a man cannot delegate a power he himself does not possess. Hence, INFERENCE 1st. As man has no inherent legislative power, he cannot transfer it to another. Hence, INFERENCE 2nd. Voting is therefore a deception, and a sham, making a deceiver of him, who votes, and a dupe of him who fancies himself the recipient of delegated power.”
