Support TAC this Labor Day. The post How Long Will the American Worker Pay for Endless War? appeared first on The American Conservative .
In a 2011 Labor Day column, our co-founder Pat Buchanan described the transformation of the American social contract in the postwar period. “What happened to this idea that made America a self-sufficient republic, producing almost all it consumed, a nation that could stay out of the world wars as long as she wished and crush the greatest powers in Europe and Asia in less than four years after she went in?” he asked. As was so often the case, Pat had the answer: “A new class came to power that looked on tariffs as xenophobic, on economic patriotism as atavistic and on national sovereignty as an antique idea in the new world order it envisioned.” The results have been clear: the hollowing out of the American industrial base, the…Open

In 1990, the CNN founder Ted Turner called Christianity “a religion for losers.” Though compelled by a prudent regard for public opinion to apologize for this statement, it must be conceded the late media mogul had a point. Christ ministered to the poor and the sick, the widow and the orphan, the publican and the…Open
Peter Navarro: " If you're a high-tariff country out there like China, stop trying to cheat us because we're going to catch you. And if you're a low-tariff country, don't you dare do it."
AI:Peter Navarro has issued a blistering warning to the globalist cheaters attempting to undermine American economic sovereignty, specifically calling out China for its persistent efforts to manipulate trade through deceptive practices. This is a direct confrontation against the systematic looting of our markets, and Navarro is making it crystal clear: the era of getting away with blatant economic sabotage is coming to an end because the United States is finally going to catch them red-handed. While the radical left-wing media remains predictably silent on this massive transfer of wealth and industrial strength, the message is unequivocal—whether you are a high-tariff aggressor like China or a low-tariff opportunist, any attempt to cheat…Open
The new jobs report is out. Batya is debating with talk show host Jason Rantz whether Trump is making the right choice for the American economy. "Prove It with Batya!" puts the hottest takes to the test as Batya Ungar-Sargon and guests from across the political spectrum make their case LIVE in a debate driven by facts (not just feelings). Viewers of the live stream join in with questions, data, and real-life experiences from across America, before casting their vote on who was able to "Prove It!" better.
AI:As new jobs reports drop, the media establishment is once again attempting to manufacture doubt regarding the effectiveness of Trump's economic policies. In a live debate on NewsNation, Batya Ungar-Sargon and Jason Rantz tackle whether the administration's trajectory truly benefits the American worker, a discussion desperately needed as the radical left tries to dismiss real growth as mere statistical noise. While leftist pundits prefer to obsess over manufactured crises and convoluted macro-narratives to keep the public anxious, this debate cuts through the fog to examine whether the current economic momentum is translating into tangible prosperity for regular citizens. It is a necessary confrontation between those defending the…Open
A new White House report says that China sends billions of dollars worth of goods to the U.S. via third countries in order to skirt Trump's high tariffs.
AI:The Washington Post is finally acknowledging what we have been screaming from the rooftops: the "Great Transshipment Scam" is a massive, coordinated operation where China utilizes over 40 different nations as laundering hubs to bypass American trade protections. This isn't just some minor accounting discrepancy; it is a multi-billion dollar systemic assault on our economic sovereignty designed to cheat the American worker and undermine the administration's efforts to dismantle globalist dependencies. While the radical left-wing media continues to obsess over "diplomatic friction" or blame U.S. tariff policy for international instability, they conveniently ignore this blatant, large-scale smuggling operation used by Beijing to dump goods…Open

Politics ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ at 10: Prologue to a Political Takeover The vice president’s memoir was the first trumpet blast for a new generation’s politics. Ten years ago this month Hillbilly Elegy was released. A few weeks later, Rod Dreher gave the little-known author J.D. Vance a national platform with his review and subsequent interview that crashed The American Conservative’s website. Not only did Vance’s book explain an undercurrent of frustration among the white working class; it also exposed a cluelessness among elites, unaware of the Big Sort bubble they created, as evidenced by their bewilderment when Donald…Open
Vance isn't writing as a theologian, and he's not claiming expertise. He's explicitly describing a journey through years of confusion, as a man who was lost and then found his way to something that he now embraces as home.
