The trade deficit last month was $36 billion larger than the Biden average. Trump's tariffs have failed.

Great to know the Pentagon hired, in Kurt Schlicter, a guy who once wrote … (*checks notes*) about overthrowing the U.S. government by force and having "a red counter-insurgency" seize San Francisco and Los Angeles. Real cheering stuff. Charming, too.

A post I wrote at Twitter in 2018, commenting on a Kurt Schlicter piece for Townhall in which he breezily discussed besieging and occupying San Francisco and Los Angeles. I wrote:

"(I mean, I'm no General Zhukov like the author of this absurd piece — but the terrain, the scale of the urban landscape and the armed populace would make it an absolute charnel house. Like … LOL wut?!)"

An excerpt from Schlicter's 2018 piece. He wrote:

"… In other words, the blue civilian population is much less of a threat."

"A red counter-insurgency avoids the problem of a decentralized insurgency and insecure logistical lines. In the case of California, whose secessionist antics are approaching the point where President Trump could legitimately employ his power to crush insurrections, the tactical problem is relatively simple. For example, San Francisco is a hotbed of treason, but the populace is largely unarmed and is trapped in a confined area. You put a brigade on securing the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, then put a brigade on the San Francisco Peninsula to cut off the I-280 and US-101 corridors. Next you go to the Crystal Springs Dam and cut off the water. Then you watch and wait as the tech hipsters run out of artisanal sushi rice and kombucha."

Schlicter continued:

"After about a week, they surrender. After all, you can't eat and drink smugness. LA is just bigger in scope — more corridors to cut off, but in the end the population concentrations in large liberal urban areas that are their strength also make them extremely vulnerable to logistical pressure."

I see a lot of my Republican colleagues are pretending to be alarmed by the national debt. Give me a break. Those concerns would have been useful before they voted for a bloated defense budget, blank checks for a lawless ICE operation, and tax breaks for the richest of the rich.
