So-Called Allies

- Jesus said to his disciples: "You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you."

- Mt 5:43-44.

Most Difficult

The above teaching of the Master is the most difficult. I can understand the logic. We pray that the wax that causes the sin and pain by our enemies will be lifted. They will see the light. However, the Master says that whomever refuses God's word, then wipe their dust from your sandals. 

President Trump's tariffs is the right step for our nation. It has revealed a much larger truth. The media is against Trump even when he does something correct. He is attempting to reignite our manufacturing sector to which will stop the bleeding of our middle class and standard of living. It will turn the pendulum of deficits, lower our national deficit and provide revenues for our government to finally do something for our citizens. The media platforms and their correspondents do not even understand the basics of economics. They just point out problems and never a compliment. If the Democrats had any true values, they would support Trump. They have no real values. With that said, We, at Evolution have learned an important truth about global economics and our so-called allies.

EU

They have coasted for decades. With no worries about defense, the EU has achieved a better standard of living. Way better than the US. They have used the US to dump product to keep their good life going. They forget all the blood that was shed by Americans to keep their freedom. They forgot the Marshall Plan that put them on the road back to prosperity. They know the US is deep in do-do in debt. They know what Trump is trying to do. So,after one little tariff that will cut into their good life, they show their true colors. This is not to say the whole EU is rotten. Finland and Holland have demonstrated actions of a true friend, the rest had better reflect. We, at Evolution like what the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb said in reference to Ukraine: "If there is a cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine and Russia violates it like it has done repeatedly, Ukraine gets an auto entry into NATO and article 5." Tell this to Putin and start preparing to back up those words with action. 

Canada

I was out shopping the other day when I discovered another truth about loopholes and tariffs. I went to the Dollar store. By the way, there is nothing for a dollar there anymore with inflation. Anyway, I was hoping that they had a cheaper version of a laundry softener. They did. When I got home, I put on my glasses to read where the product was made. To my surprise, it said imported from Canada. However, there was another line that read, made in China. This is a loophole in tariffs. Chinese producers send product to Canada who exports it to the US. This is why we should put another 50% tariffs on Canada. They value our friendship so little that for a few dollars more (Sorry, Clint) they allow this type of import/export to happen. They are not alone.

Mexico

They have attacked our tomato growers for years. They have used our outsourced manufacturing for years. Their economy is a leach attached like a parasite to grab whatever they can from us. Consider this one aspect: Would you let millions of immigrants cross your border, walk through your nation and help them illegally enter your allies' border? They did. Now, they are inviting China into the frey. They expanded their entry port to accommodate Chinses vessels. They extended their railroad line to take Chinese goods to the Texas border to export under a lie of Mexican goods. It gets worse. Mexico built a commercial park in Jalisco. It is their high-tech center. Chinese tech is using a loophole to build chips and import chips through this location. We need to impose 100% tariffs on Mexico until they decide whether they are our friends or just in it for a buck? There are trade deals and BS. Canada and Mexico have gone corrupt. End NAFTA! Drop the WTO! Let us strive to be self-sufficient.

One More

How abour South Korea? We gave them blood. We gave them the good life and for what? So, the conglomerate, Samsung could sell $44 billion in chips to China? They need to choose. Either you do no business with China or we ban you from the US. Period! By the way, S.Korea, you had better start rebuilding your defense. One good thing that I will say about some of their companies. They have built their plants in the US. We need to reaccess and to revaluate who are our true friends because it is very difficult to love our enemies.  Peace.
