I’m pleased to announce that my latest freelance article was posted yesterday afternoon. Written for DailyCaller.com, it explains why America is heading pellmell into a new Age of Boycotts over all sorts of political and economic issues.

If you click here to read, you’ll see that I don’t take a stand either way on the merits of boycotts generally, or of any specific such actions. Instead, I make the case for expecting them to become ever more common. Special bonus: While researching the subject, I learned or was reminded of lots of interesting and important American history, and you may be, too.

I’m pleased to announce that the podcast is now on-line of my latest interview on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show. Click here for a timely discussion among John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, and me on whether President Biden’s infrastructure and competitiveness package really will strengthen America’s position relative to China. Oh yes – we also speculated about the fate of former President Trump’s China tariffs in the Biden era.  

In addition, yesterday, Gordon quoted my views on the matter in a post for the Gatestone Institute. Here‘s the link.

Finally, on March 31, IndustryToday.com re-published my RealityChek post on recent U.S. manufacturing data strongly indicating that those Trump tariffs have greatly helped domestic industry weather the CCP Virus pandemic and subsequent recession in impressive shape.

I’m pleased to announce that last Friday’s post about a major potential flaw in President Biden’s globalist foreign policy plans – and threat to U.S. national security – was re-published yesterday (with permission!) by The National Interest. I’d have put up this notice yesterday, but its appearance this soon caught me off guard.

All the same, click here in case you missed it, or if you’d like to see it in slightly modified form. I’d also be curious to know whether readers prefer the less personal and conversational style in this new version, or the original.

Speaking of podcasts, one ‘s now on-line of my appearance yesterday on the nationally syndicated “Market Wrap” radio program.

Making News: A New Piece on the U.S.-China Meeting, an Upcoming Radio Interview…& More!

I’m pleased to announce that my latest article for an outside publication: a piece for The National Interest on the outcome of last week’s U.S.-China meeting in Alaska. Click here for an analysis that follows up my assessment of the session’s first day, and explains why Presiden Biden’s emissaries undermined America’s position vis-a-vis the People’s Republic.

Special background tidbit: My suggested headline was “Half-Baked in Alaska.” But media outlets themselves typically claim the final word on titles, and rightly so, since marketing considerations are involved. But I’d be curious whether RealityChek readers prefer The National Interest‘s choice or mine.

In addition, I’m scheduled to appear today on Moe Ansari’s nationally syndicated “Market Wrap” radio program to discuss the Alaska meeting and its implications yet further. The segment is likely to air at about 8:30 PM EST, and you can listen live at this link. As usual, if you’re not able to tune in, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Finally, it was great to be quoted in veteran British economic journalist Eamonn Fingleton in his latest article for The American Conservative. Click here for an informative treatment of why America’s continuing, towering trade deficits matter decisively.

I’m pleased to announce that I was interviewed on John Batchelor’s new radio show on Tuesday, and the podcast is on-line now. So click on this link for a great discussion among John, me, and co-host Gordon G. Chang on the outlook for U.S. China policy – and especially the Trump tariffs – under President Biden.  Several other economic issues were tackled, too!

BTW, John’s show will be changing its national syndication arrangements shortly, so there was more of a lag than usual in posting the podcast link.

Making News: New Article on the GOP’s Future Now On-Line

I’m pleased to announce that my newest freelance article is on-line – an essay for The National Interest on the Republican party’s post-Trump and post-second-Trunp-impeachment future (and whether the former President is even likely to be left behind).

Here’s the piece, which I think you’ll find unusually interesting because of the poll results it describes about the demographic and ideological makeup of Trump voters last November. After all, they still comprise the vast bulk of Republicans. Please note: This is not a re-posting of a previous blog item.

I’m pleased to announce that the podcast is now on-line of my interview last night on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show on U.S. China trade policy. Click here for a timely discussion with John and co-host Gordon G. Chang on the outlook for America’s approach to the People’s Republic as the Biden administration settles into office.

One especially interesting point: Although John seemed to focus on how China fell well short of meeting its commitments under Donald Trump’s Phase One trade deal to boost its purchases of American-origin goods and services, I pointed to some data indicating that the agreement produced some important achievements on this front.
