1) $200 Billion More For the Military Industrial Complex?
Will someone please remind Republicans that the Cold War is over?
Our congressional sources tell us that the military hawks want a $200 billion raise for the Pentagon as part of this year's "big, beautiful budget/tax bill." That's big all right, but not beautiful. It would bring the DOD budget to over $1 trillion a year and make a mockery of any pretense that Republicans are committed to reducing deficit spending.
The cost of this buildup is close to twice as large as the actual price tag, because if we instead trimmed the massive waste in the defense budget, we could get a budget deal where every dollar of defense cuts could be matched by $1 of domestic cuts. That's how we balanced the budget when Clinton was president.
Why not at least insist that any new high-priority national security initiatives be offset dollar-for-dollar with DOGE efficiency savings? There is no bigger bureaucracy on the planet than the Pentagon.
The coming war against China is economic, not military. The runaway federal spending and borrowing costs are our imminent national security threat. So is the fact that Johnny can't read.
We are now spending more on defense than Russia, China, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Saudi Arabia, and India COMBINED.
Surely this is enough.

2) India Aces Trump's Reciprocal Tariff Test
Well, maybe the reciprocity strategy on trade will work. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has agreed to lower tariffs on U.S. products - which still remain very high.
Assuming this Reuters report is accurate, Trump is winning the art of the deal:

India is open to cutting tariffs on more than half of U.S. imports worth $23 billion in the first phase of a trade deal the two nations are negotiating, two government sources said, the biggest cut in years, aimed at fending off reciprocal tariffs.
The South Asian nation wants to mitigate the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's reciprocal worldwide tariffs set to take effect from April 2, a threat that has disrupted markets and sent policymakers scrambling, even among Western allies.
This would be a total win-win for the world's two largest democracies. Trump and Modi: Get this done.

3) Headline of the Day
Here's the latest climate-change madness from The New York Times:
[link removed]
As scientist Roger Pielke Jr. aptly puts it: "NYT is big mad that people around the world are becoming rich enough to have air conditioners."
Here in reality, rising temperatures will actually reduce energy use, because heating is much more energy intensive than cooling.
[link removed]
The Times should be ashamed of its efforts to deny poor people in the rest of the world the creature comforts like AC, that we take for granted in America.

4) Has California Finally Had Enough?
Speaking of climate change fanaticism, the folks in the epicenter of hysteria - California - may be having second thoughts.
Several cities have dropped planned bans on the use of natural gas for heating, hot water and cooking. A "freedom of heating" ballot initiative is planned for 2026. A January poll found the idea favored by 67% to 18% by voters.
A recent survey by pollster David Wolfson found that nearly half of likely California voters are considering voting for a Republican to be their next governor.
That's amazing, because more than 1.5 million mostly Republican voters have fled the Golden State in recent years.

5) More Temporary Worker Visas Please
Yes, Mr. President, please keep deporting criminal illegal aliens. We're amazed that the Left is so detached from reality that they are protesting the Trump administration's evictions of the drug runners, terrorist risks, and other bad guys.
But America still desperately needs service workers who fill our employment needs. One such program is the H-2B temporary visa program for "seasonal workers." These workers come on four to nine month visas and work as waiters, chefs, gardeners, kitchen help, amusement park operators, and in the seafood industry. They come back and forth across the border LEGALLY when they are filling seasonal jobs.
In recent years, there have been about 130,000 of these visas each year.
Guess who is one of the largest users of these visas? Donald Trump and his resort properties.
This year, the H-2B base cap of 66,000 was fully reached on March 5, 2025, due to high demand, but the Trump administration appears to be delaying release of supplemental visas, which are usually announced just a few days after the cap is reached.
The White House should act soon or else Bedminster Country Club and Mar-a-Lago may have to close for lack of workers. Many of them are Eastern Europeans. They travel back to their home countries when the work period ends.
