Biden’s recent executive order on the border crisis is a political stunt designed to gaslight angry voters into thinking he’s finally doing something to curb the massive flow of illegal immigrants along the southern border. This is of course a crisis of his making. Hit play to get our take.

Today we are giving our take on the Biden administration's announcement that it will be raising tariffs on a host of Chinese-made products. Given they are calling for a 100% tariff on electric vehicles, we appear not only in an international trade war but, a domestic trade war as well with both the Democratic Party and the America First Movement competing to outdo one another to benefit American workers, manufacturing, and production. Enjoy it while it lasts!
