Arkansas steel mill plans $1.2B expansion, 500 new workers
By Stephen Steed - June 30, 2018

Big River Steel said Friday that it will expand its operations near Osceola with a $1.2 billion investment that will double its hot-rolled steel production and result in the hiring of some 500 new employees.

Salaries for those new jobs, according to the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, will average $75,000 a year.

Big River opened its scrap-recycling and steel production facility south of Osceola in northeast Arkansas just last year, after an investment of about $1.3 billion.

"Big River Steel just keeps on giving," Mayor Dickie Kennemore said by telephone after the announcement. "I tell you, when they first located here, it's like we'd won the economic development lottery. I've been mayor a long time. I went through the downturns of our textile mills closing and, back then, you'd have given anything to get 50 or a hundred jobs."

[snip]

The $1.3 billion Big River mill is the largest economic development project in Arkansas history, Gov. Asa Hutchinson noted in a statement Friday morning.

David Stickler, Big River's chief executive officer, said in a joint statement with Hutchinson that the expansion "will further cement Big River Steel's position as a global leader in terms of advanced manufacturing and environmental stewardship."

Always keeping in mind that I loathe the guy in so many ways, I do admit to looking forward to an honest history text from 2050 or so, ( reading it in Hades no doubt, I don't expect to be here )

The story of the reunification of Korea after the Chinese civil war when the ISIS nuke guts Bejing, and Israel saves Europe from biological war with Iran, by a daring raid on the apartment building next to the Vatican. ( which should reopen after 2075, when the nanobots clean up the last of the GM super rabies bugs )

And the resurgence of Persia as a world power, in the aftermath of the Iranian civil war, alongside a Kurdish Republic, Egypt, and Israel as the coalition of Abraham.

Plus the final gasps of the Klan as the American black vote moves en mass to the Neuvo Tea Party, a coalition of legal immigrants, blacks, and Christian conservatives becomes the leading party in opposition to the Democrat Socialists, Socialist Democrats, Establishment Republicans, and Bernie Sanders, after the mysterious suicide of Hillary by shooting herself 27 times in the back. ( Bill still openly wonders why? When things were going so well in her 2020 campaign bid? )

Yep, the years 2018 through 2020 were the greatest advance in world freedom since 1945.

How all this happened with an incompetent, Nazi, Trump as President of a stolen election is the subject of endless debate.

Except in the Republican of mainland California, the breadbasket of the planet, and the biggest real estate boom on new ocean front property since the Mediterranean refilled.

To bad about the cannibal islands off the California coast, whose sanctuary laws forbid any federal aid after the Big Quake of 2019. Geologists speculation that if only they had pumped the offshore oil pockets out when discovered, the Cannibal islands would not still be burning.

Must Watch: Maria Bartiromo Interviews President Donald Trump
CTH - July 1, 2018

Maria Bartiromo continues to distance herself from all Sunday talk show competition with some of the best and most insightful interviews and topics available. Today Mrs. Bartiromo interviews President Donald Trump. The substantive content is excellent.

From a position of understanding Trump policy, and expanding/predicting how each policy will carry forward, this really is one of the best interviews to date. Bartiromo hits on most topics of interest and expands on the topics of greatest consequence. Anyone who seeks to understand where the administration is going with economics and trade only needs to keep revisiting this one interview – it’s all there.

Domestic discussion includes the Supreme Court, trade and tariffs, immigration, border security, ICE, mid-term election, taxes, jobs and the ongoing battle between congress and the DOJ/FBI. Foreign discussion includes trade and geopolitics with Canada, China, the EU, North Korea, Iran and the upcoming summit with Russia. The intersection of economics and geopolitics via the Trump Doctrine is clear as day.

Thanks To Tax Cuts, Companies' Overseas Profits Now Flooding Back To U.S.
Investor's Business Daily

They said it wouldn't happen, but it did: The money companies stashed overseas to protect them from high U.S. corporate tax rates is flooding back in, boosting growth, jobs and confidence in the economy. Thank the Trump tax cuts.

All told, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported, some $305.6 billion returned to the U.S. from overseas accounts. That's a $1.2 trillion annual rate, and far more than the $35 billion one year before.

The BEA's analysts explain why this happened: "The large magnitudes (of inward capital flows) ... reflect the repatriation of accumulated earnings by foreign affiliates of U.S. multinational enterprises and their parent companies in the United States in response to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act."

In short, the Trump tax cuts did it.

American companies were commonly estimated to have about $2.6 trillion parked in overseas accounts as of 2017. So in the first three months of 2018 alone, some 12% of that overseas stash came back to the U.S. It's now available here for companies to invest, pay out in dividends and bonuses, hire new workers, purchase new plants and equipment, or just buy back stock.

It's a shot in the arm for the U.S. economy.

[snip]

In the second quarter of this year, GDP growth is almost certain to exceed 3%, again. The Blue Chip consensus of economists expect 3.5% growth, while the Atlanta Fed's "GDPNow" estimate is at 4.7% currently.

This happened only because President Trump slashed taxes, cut regulations and in general pursued powerful supply-side stimulus that lifted the economy's ability to produce goods and services.

For the record, GDP growth never topped 3% in any year of 0bama's administration. We were told repeatedly by left-leaning economists and pundits that the days of 3% growth were over.

U.S. Factory Activity Reflects Exceptionally Strong Economy, Demand and Production Output
CTH - July 2, 2018

Pontificating economic globalists are stuck between empirical good news and their preferred anti-Trump tariff narrative. Economic media like the Wall Street Journal are filled with angst, as President Trump’s manufacturing MAGAnomics continues to destroy their decades-long talking points and globalist preferences.

The analysis of June factory and manufacturing indicators from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) highlight an expanding reality: increased production, increased new orders, increased employment, and demand outpacing supplies and transportation capacity. Yes, all of this means the Main Street U.S. economic engine is firing on all cylinders. We can only imagine what the Q2 numbers will reflect when it’s all rolled up.


quote:

ISM DATA – Comments from the panel reflect continued expanding business strength. Demand remains strong, with the New Orders Index at 60 percent or above for the 14th straight month, and the Customers’ Inventories Index remaining low. The Backlog of Orders Index continued to expand, reading at 60 percent of higher for the third consecutive month. Consumption, described as production and employment, continues to expand in spite of labor, skill and material shortages.



What does this mean in blue collar language? Short term: OVERTIME pay folks…. maximum earnings possibilities as demand for factory and manufacturing has all employment working maximum production shifts. Long term: upward wage pressure, jobs, jobs, jobs.

The Backlog of Orders Index continued to expand, reading at 60 percent of higher for the third consecutive month. Consumption, described as production and employment, continues to expand in spite of labor, skill and material shortages. Inputs, expressed as supplier deliveries, inventories and imports, had expansion increases, due primarily to negative supply chain issues. Lead-time extensions, steel and aluminum disruptions, supplier labor issues, and transportation difficulties continue. Demand remains robust, but the nation’s employment resources and supply chains continue to struggle.

Of the 18 manufacturing industries, 17 reported growth in June, in the following order: Textile Mills; Wood Products; Nonmetallic Mineral Products; Printing & Related Support Activities; Electrical Equipment, Appliances & Components; Fabricated Metal Products; Computer & Electronic Products; Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products; Paper Products; Transportation Equipment; Furniture & Related Products; Machinery; Primary Metals; Miscellaneous Manufacturing; Chemical Products; Petroleum & Coal Products; and Plastics & Rubber Products. No industry reported a decrease in June compared to May.

I was just reading in the AMA magazine that President Trump has ok'd 15% ethanol sales. I was very disappointed. It's a government subsidized smoke screen and I was hoping he would be going the other direction. I hate that stuff! Mileage goes down and the engine doesn't run near as well. Of all the great things he's done so far that's not one of them.

Trump, the Founders, and Independence Day
By Michael Anton - July 4, 2018

Independence Day is, or should be, a time to reflect on the great gifts bequeathed to us by the American founders, and to judge ourselves by their standards. How well are we maintaining the country they built for us, and the principles which helped to make it great?

The answer is at once not so well—we have drifted far from the founders’ vision, mostly to our detriment—but also better than we have done in many years. That’s because Donald Trump’s political philosophy is closer to the founders’ than was that of any president since at least Reagan.

This assertion will no doubt occasion some sniggering. But Trump’s approach to politics addresses many of the American founders’ central concerns, in ways they would likely recognize and approve.

For the founders, government has one fundamental purpose: to protect person and property from conquest, violence, theft and other dangers foreign and domestic. The secure enjoyment of life, liberty and property enables the “pursuit of happiness.” Government cannot make us happy, but it can give us the safety we need as the condition for happiness. It does so by securing our rights, which nature grants but leaves to us to enforce, through the establishment of just government, limited in its powers and focused on its core responsibility.

Trump’s Inaugural address reasserted the fundamental duty of government to protect every citizen—and enforce the laws—equally. The speech was naturally not well-received by a political class that has manifestly failed to protect their constituents from dangers ranging from terrorism to crime to drugs, all the while looking the other way at malfeasance in high places. But the founders would have understood it.

Trump’s core governing agenda is also consistent with the founders’ vision. On immigration, he intuits that the social compact is meaningless if it applies indiscriminately to all. Illegal immigration is a logical impossibility, since no one can join a social compact without the consent of the existing members. “If we don’t have borders, we don’t have a country,” the President likes to say. To the founders, this is so obvious they would be shocked that it needs to be said at all or that anyone could doubt it.

President Trump insists that only the consent of the whole people can legitimize not just immigration, but also laws and regulations. Hence his aggressive rollback of red tape that neither the American people nor their elected representatives ever asked for or voted on.

For the founders, the right to acquire and enjoy property is fundamental to national health and individual wellbeing. The first major law passed under the new Constitution—the Tariff Act of 1789—beings “Whereas it is necessary for that support of government, for the discharge of the debts of the United States, and the encouragement and protection of manufactures, that duties be laid on goods, wares and merchandise” (emphasis added). President Trump agrees. And he understands that, in a globalized economy, the property rights of Americans cannot easily withstand predatory trade practices from abroad. So he is acting to protect our manufactures and intellectual property.

Perhaps in no sphere have we drifted further from the founders’ vision than in foreign policy. Some of that is owing to events that the founders could not possibly have foreseen. But much of it is also the result of hubris and overreach that tempts all great powers, which the founders absolutely foresaw—and warned about. President Trump intuits that the “separate and equal station” nature demands for all nations requires a fundamental recalibration of America’s expansive and ambitious foreign policy.

To these one may add the President’s equally emphatic insistence on law enforcement—at the border, in trade relations, and in local communities—to protect the people’s safety and happiness.

More than this, unlike our elites, Trump knows in his bones that the survival of any community—and especially a political community—depends on the willingness of its leaders to stand up for its members. This, again, is not a sentiment the founders thought required any philosophic explanation—though they had one at the ready. They would be surprised to find it controversial but relieved that the nation they founded found a leader immune to pseudo-sophisticated denials of this simple truth.

Donald Trump did not run, and has not governed, as an explicit avenger of the founders’ vision. Then again, unlike all of his recent predecessors, neither does he misuse the founders’ language to justify policies inconsistent with, and even diametrically opposed to, their vision. To the contrary. His agenda is not merely consistent with but indispensable to an older, better, truer understanding of how government ought to work. The way forward is in some respects the way back. Our founders show the way. Donald Trump, however intuitively or unconsciously, is following them. We should, too.

MAGAnomics: Middle-Class Wage Rates Climbing as Expected, Wall Street Financial Media Not Happy
CTH - July 5, 2018

For more than three decades all U.S. economic policy has been elevating Wall Street and diminishing Main Street. As a result, blue-collar workers have not had wage gains keeping up with inflation for over 30 years. Then came the era of Trump.

More than two years ago CTH began discussing the ramifications to a new emphasis on the economy outlined as a possibility of candidate Donald Trump’s economic policy outlook. Within the overall discussion we walked through the anticipated changes possible if A.) Trump won the election, and B.) Trump began instituting Main Street economic policy ahead of Wall Street policy (the past 30+ years).

We discussed the new dimension that would occur between two economic engines (Main Street -vs- Wall Street) as three decades of policy shifted. CTH outlined statistical and measurable KPI’s that would become visible in the space between the policy shifts.

Part of those discussions focused on energy costs, product costs (we explained how inflation would be weird), and importantly, wage rates. It takes several months of policy emphasis (actual outcomes), before the labor market wage rates would grow. We anticipated seeing that impact in Q2 of 2018, which is April-June 2018. Well:


quote:

(Via CNBC) […] The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that April closed with 6.7 million job openings. May ended with just over 6 million people the BLS classifies as unemployed, continuing a trend this year that has seen openings eclipse the labor pool for the first time. At some point that gap will have to close. Economists expect that employers are going to have to start doing more to entice workers, likely through pay raises, training and other incentives.

“Pressure is building for employers, and both hard data and anecdotal reports indicate that wage pressures are building,” Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors, said in a note. “With the economy still humming, employers are able to justify stronger wage increases to retain or attract talent.”

0bama to Trump: 'What magic wand do you have?'
By Rebecca Savransky - 06/01/16

President 0bama hit presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for not detailing the ways in which he plans to accomplish certain goals.

During a PBS town hall that aired Wednesday, 0bama referenced Trump's promise to bring back jobs to the United States when talking about manufacturing. “Well, how exactly are you going to do that? What exactly are you going to do? There’s no answer to it," 0bama said. "He just says, 'Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.' Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”

0bama has slammed Trump in the past.

During a speech Wednesday, the president bashed one of the candidate's central arguments that international trade and immigration have hurt American voters. He called Trump's pledge to roll back Wall Street regulations "crazy."

"That will not help us win," Obama said of Trump. "That is not going to make your lives better."

Trump often talks about bringing back manufacturing jobs while on the campaign trail and pledges to place tariffs on companies that move outside of the country.

Trump's Magic Wand Brought Jobs Back To America (Best of 2017)

Donald Trump used his magical wand to bring jobs back to America. The United States economy is booming because of the wand and corporations have been quick to move back to America. Barack 0bama unfortunately mocked Donald Trump for having "A Magic Wand" during his 2016 presidential campaign. However he was very very wrong indeed... Here are some examples from 2017 of Trump using his magic wand to bring jobs home:

ADP: 177,000 Jobs Added in June
This marks a nearly 15 percent year-over-year increase from last June, when the U.S. economy added 154,000 positions.

By Hanley Wood Data Studio, Ayda Ayoubi - July 5, 2018

The U.S. economy added 177,000 private, non-farm jobs in June according to the monthly employment report released today by payroll-management firm ADP and its partner Moody's Analytics. The seasonally adjusted result is 6.35 percent lower than May's revised addition of 189,000 jobs, but it marks a 14.94 percent increase from last June, when 154,000 jobs were created.

“The labor market continues to march towards full employment,” said ADP Research Institute vice president and co-head Ahu Yildirmaz in a press release. “Healthcare led job growth once again and trade rebounded nicely.”

“Business’ [sic] number one problem is finding qualified workers,” said Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi in the release. “At the current pace of job growth, if sustained, this problem is set to get much worse. These labor shortages will only intensify across all industries and company sizes.”

IBD/TIPP Poll: Economic Optimism Surges On Trumponomics
Americans' view of federal economic policies, almost always negative since the financial crisis, is solidly optimistic for the first time since 2006.
By Jed Graham - 07/03/2018

The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index surged to the 2nd-highest level since 2004 as the jobless rate matched a nearly 50-year low. The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index rose 2.5 points to 56.4 in July, just off February's 13-year high of 56.7. Readings above the neutral 50 level reflect optimism.

It's hard to ignore the role of Trumponomics. In fact, Americans' view of federal government economic policies, almost always negative since the financial crisis, vaulted into solidly optimistic territory for the first time since late 2006. Midwesterners haven't felt so good about federal policies since early 2002, and rural voters even longer than that.

Jobs report could signal a ‘stampede’ back into the workforce
Almost stampede back into the labor market: Kevin Hassett
Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett on the June jobs report and the Trump administration's efforts to improve U.S. trade deals.

By Megan Henney, Fox Businesss - July 6, 2018

The better-than-expected June jobs report, which saw the addition of 213,000 new positions to the U.S. economy and an increased labor force participation rate, is evidence of an economy that’s returning to work, according to the Council of Economic Advisers chairman.

“What we want to do is reconnect people who were discouraged by the bad economy that President Trump inherited, and we want to bring them back into society and get them back to work,” Kevin Hassett said during a FOX Business interview with Charles Payne on Friday. “It’s clear that this is the real message of work, almost the stampede back into the labor department.”

Hassett attributed the positive report to the Republican-backed 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which President Trump signed into law in December.

Terror in Europe that Trump isn't lying like Obama.

Demands of protection against Russian invasion, but mocking the idea that they pay for defense.

Are these aging leaders adults? Or Harvard Freshmen needing a safe space & a Full Ride?

Interesting how that report didn’t mention that various NATO members weren’t paying their commitment until the end of the article.
