Amazing How Fast The Press Is Asking Appropriate Questions In The Oval Office -- Promises Made, Promises Kept --February 14, 2025

Locator: 48561TRUMP.

Covid-19 vaccines: Trump solves the Covid-19 vaccine mandates for public schools.  Via executive order.

Energy dominance: again, an executive order. Doug Borhum will be the lead. The word Trump is associating with US energy: "dominance." National energy emergency. The other word, "unleashed." The global war against US energy has now ended; Trump declares victory. The administration now has four years to work this issue. 

NYTimes: Valentine's Day. Link here.

Geo-politics: I'm hoping for a nice analysis in Foreign Affairs or some such periodical (and eventually a book) on how Trump. plans to "re-order" the entire world. 

The current world order developed out of WWII and then evolved with the Cold War, climate change (global warming), and globalization.

The elite -- the Davos crowd -- decided it was time:

• to pick winners and losers, geopolitically; and,
• to make sure the US lost.

With Trump, everything has changed. Trump plans to "level" the playing field. That's the unifying theme for Trump's geopolitics -- "leveling" the playing field. 

Let's start with energy.

Since the 1950's it was all about the Mideast. Starting today, Trump sees it the age of American energy dominance. Period. 

Then tariffs. 

At one time, tariffs made sense -- to help the poor third world countries. But including China and India as third world countries has long passed, certainly in Trump's mind. And, thus, the tariffs. We no longer need to pretend that China and are a) non-aligned; and/or b) third world. The playing field is going to be leveled and all players play equally: US, EU, Russia, China, India, the Mideast. 

US debt.

Trump cracked the nut. He understands why the US is trillions of dollars in debt, how it happened, and how to change it.

Back to tariffs. In less than three weeks, link here:

Elsewhere: they're starting to talk about Schumer and Jeffries in the same breath. It's worse than folks are letting on. Schumer is of the same school as Mitch McConnell and Jeffries is an Obama doppelgänger. Incredibly poor optics. Meanwhile Mike Johnson is becoming quite the leader of the US House.

Inflation and high price of eggs. Journalists, talking heads, and "analysts" are misreading the inflation story and the high price of egg.  On at least two levels.
