Single industry towns have always lived on the brink. One change in technology, one misstep my management, boom.

Barack Hussein Obama ...mmmm.mmmm.mmmm...forced a coal plant in my state to shut down (180 jobs lost) and replace it with power fueled by existing "clean burning natural gas" plants (that were used only for reserve power until recently). The idea then was that "clean burning" natural gas would save us from our carbon sins.

Then racist Joe Biden, in his first week in office, worked against the great Obama's vision for natural gas and proclaimed natural gas as what's killing us all. Biden issued multiple EO's to make it harder to drill for natural gas. That made both my natural gas bill shoot up as well as my power bill (fuel costs born by the power company are passed onto the consumer in a per kWh rate rider).

“Brauer said the dignity of work is at the very core of the American experience, “Yet the elites of this country still just don’t understand, while average Americans just keep getting financially squeezed more and more.””

They understand perfectly. They despise you and are deliberately destroying you. It’s you that doesn’t understand... yet.

There was a “ conservative” guy at National Review a few years ago who wrote about how these towns “deserved to die.” Like she said, these voters are there for the taking but the GOP has no clue.

Seeing it now in Ohio, where Sherrod Brown is going to coast to re-election in the Senate. Not because he ever did anything, but because he has ads showing old farts telling us “Sherrod Brown gave me back my dignity.”

”Honestly, how many times does this story have to be told before someone in power cares about our lives."

People in power will NEVER care about your life, until you make them. And if you can’t make them, then welcome to the “new normal”.

One job lost is a tragedy; 10,000 jobs is a statistic.

“Middle America” == racist Democrat dog-whistle code for “White”. Therefore they couldn’t be happier that it’s dying.

But urban racist ghettos/barrios are not just dying, they’re already dead in the vast majority of cases. So what does that leave?

Suburbs, but the ones which look like “Middle America” aren’t *allowed* to look that way for long and they end up inevitably going ghetto too. Very slowly in some cases, but inevitably nonetheless.

Opening the border wide and inviting the invasion of criminals and other sewage couldn’t possibly have an adverse effect on any of this, fortunately. /s

And yet, how many of those people voted for the people who are forcing the closures by their policies?

“Three months before his last visit to this country, Nikita Khrushchev said, ‘We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find they have communism.’”

From the article’ “He believes NAFTA, signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, essentially made it hard for companies like Weirton Steel, . .”

NAFTA was negotiated during the presidency of the globalist George H W. Bush. Clinton signed the bi-partisan bill after taking office.

The Uruguay Round trade talks, which created the World Trade organization (WTO) began in 1986. Ronald Reagan was President.

In 2000 the Republican led Senate Senate voted 85 to 15 to 15 to lower tariffs on Chinese imports and admit China to the WTO. 7 Democrats and 8 Republicans voted against the bill. “I know there are legitimate concerns about this legislation and that there are those who are having to struggle with whether or not we can trust China to comply,” declared Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.). “But I also know it would be a tremendous mistake to ignore the advantages of this trade legislation.”

In 2005 Republican President George W Bush signed into law the CAFTA free trade agreement legislation.

The free trade agreements that decimated American manufacturing were bipartisan. The politicians of both parties sold out to multinational corporations and globalist institutions. When you drive through a gutted town in middle America the blight and poverty is the consequence of deliberate and conscious personal greed.

Trump is John McLane.

Deep State is Hans Gruber.

America is Nakatomi Plaza.

Weld said it is incumbent on local elected officials such as himself to be the advocates of Middle America.


We all have work to do. One of the factors for the demise of the USSR is that people began to ignore the central govt.

Instead of being offended, lets ignore them.............
