So - after two World Wars and tens of millions of the murdered - we’re still paying Germany not to be aggressors?

Good job, David. I learn a lot by reading your column, especially today’s edition.

I have been calling for us to bring the boys home from Western Europe - Germany especially - since the early 90s when I started going over there and living there. It was obvious even then that they no longer served any purpose. They just allowed the Germans to freeload on the American taxpayer for their national defense.

The NFL trotted out Betty White last night to unsuccessfully try to get me to watch their games.

“There may be some short-term pain related to his trade war with China, but the long-term gain for America once it has resulted in a trade agreement will be enormous.”

Worth repeating.

After 74 years of U.S. wealth flowing to the rest of the world as we have stupidly allowed every other nation to place tariffs on our goods without responding in-kind, Mr. Trump’s new trade agreements and retaliatory trade policies are now beginning to bring wealth back into our country.

Free Traitors™ are not stupid, they are evil.

Now we need to accelerate the trend by moving our troops and bases out of Germany and to countries in Eastern Europe which are more welcoming; like Poland and Hungary.

Merkel and Trump hated each other long before the slump in German manufacturing exports regardless of what Blackmon thinks.

This is one of my favorite pictures:

Except for Bolton. He looks like he REALLY needs to make a head call.

There is a difference between the situation in Germany and Japan, I think. This is in part because Japan subsidizes our military presence there, and in part because for all practical purposes China is still our military enemy, so Japan acts as our forward base supporting our presence in the west Pacific, making it much for difficult for China to military expand its influence.

America’s wealth over the past many decades has been redistributed to many other countries. First off, we never get a thank you we just get more handout requests.

Second, we have many economic problems domestically that need to be addressed. Our own welfare programs have also siphoned billions from infrastructure. We have a crisis in our education system which also siphons off massive dollars for a poor education rife with liberal indoctrination.

This poor education allows children to grow up with no actual marketable skills and huge debt which ripples into the economy as well as kids can’t afford houses, two parent s must work so one can no longer help in their communities.

The inner cities are a near bankrupt war zone - nobody seems to care.

The old paradigm - U.S. stupidity props up China, which props up Germany, which props of Europe.

Trumps ploy with China is the real “reset” compared to Billary, Inc.’s “reset” with Moscow that never took place.

It should surprise no one that countries like Germany came to feel entitled to continue to receive this U.S. [Marshall Plan] welfare into perpetuity.

Some of the Marshall Plan monies were grants, some loans. Germany had repaid the loan parts by 1971. But I guess that does not fit the author's narrative.

“Are you ready for some football????? – We may be, but the NFL itself may not. The league’s season opened Thursday night with a snooze-fest 10-3 Green Bay win over da Bears.”

Not a criticism of either team, but we’re are going to be in for a lot of poor play as many teams refuse to play their starters much if at all in preseason fearing injury. Stands to reason that the Week 1 games will be poorly played. Just wait until the league actually shortens the preseason followed by lengthening the regular season. Every team will need like 4 QB’s to be able to get to the end of that death march.
