China Blinks: Major US-China Trade Deal Signals Strategic Shift
I’ve said for years that China could not win a prolonged trade war with the United States. This weekend, in Geneva, that prediction was vindicated.

Fifty years ago, April 30, 1975, the world watched in horror and disbelief as the last American helicopter lifted off from the rooftop of our embassy in Saigon. South Vietnam had fallen in the manner of Ernest Hemingway, “first gradually, then suddenly”: a decades-long war, a relative peace, and then a mad dash by the North Vietnamese Army that consumed the country in less than a month.
Two high-ranking Russian generals have been assassinated near Moscow in the span of just six months—both killed by remote-controlled car bombs. These brazen attacks, occurring in the heart of Russia’s power structure, point to a disturbing new pattern unfolding under President Vladimir Putin’s watch.
Axing USAID was never about balancing the budget, as critics allege, but dealing a mortal blow to Washington’s woke export machine — especially on abortion. Many pro-life Christians were skeptical of Donald Trump’s soft abortion stance during the 2024 campaign. They should take note. With a single stroke, Trump has done more to protect unborn lives overseas than any other leader in the world and deserves credit as America’s most pro-life president. Here’s why.
Earlier today, Steve Bannon and Frank Gaffney lit up JP Morgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs for their efforts to help CATL, a PRC military company that allegedly exploits slave labor, raise $7+ billion without disclosing the material risks.
Rod Martin’s interview with Craig and Shelly Huey on the true natures of Capitalism, Socialism and the Deep State. Capitalism and the Golden Rule. Socialism as systematized covetousness. Critical Theory as a marketing scam to sell Socialism. How Marx and Engles hijacked liberalism. The nature of the Deep State. How and why Donald Trump is actually attempting to dismantle it. Why the U.S. Constitution protects freedom better than parliamentary systems.
I have come under criticism lately from those who challenge my view that Russia is in decline and is not a threat for the foreseeable future. It can certainly revive, but that was unlikely even before the war, and revival after a war does not happen quickly.
At the heart of the criticism is my claim that Russia has lost the war in Ukraine and the associated belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s control is in peril.
Starship makes possible a world where the U.S. can deploy an entire armored division anywhere on Earth in under an hour, and supply it entirely from home. “Hegemony” doesn’t begin to cover it.
The rumors of Christianity’s demise appear to have been greatly exaggerated. A groundbreaking Pew Research Center survey finds that after years of decline, the percentage of Americans identifying as Christian has stabilized. Not only that, but young adults — a demographic expected to be on the front lines of secularization — are fueling this halt.
Nothing should give more hope for meaningful change than Donald Trump’s decision, widely reported last night, to revoke the security clearances of 51 former senior intelligence officials who used their position to deceive the American people in the run-up to the 2020 election. Their act was the very definition of “disinformation” and “election interference”.
