-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
All this and the fat pinky ring aldermen are screaming that they don’t get enough asphalt money for their ward. Well I guess that makes sense, asphalt laying is a well known currency of favors and votes in Chicago. Going back to the 1950’s.

That’s like .000001% of the kind of stuff Trump deals with on a daily basis.
