OPINION:
America is once again becoming a populist and conservative nation, as evidenced by the results of the recent elections. The average citizen does not trust the government or the all-too-accommodating media. Small wonder, as both have failed and misled us for years, if not decades.
Globalism, heralded in by our government with actions and agreements such as joining of the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund and giving China favored trading status, has had a devastating effect on our jobs, economy and standard of living. Our government has in essence exported U.S. jobs while importing millions of unskilled immigrants in need of employment.
Unlike the average American, big business, Big Pharma, the Washington establishment and celebrities — all elitists — are unaffected by globalism, which is nothing more than socialism on a global scale. The “America First” mantra of the new administration has clearly resonated with voters, leaving the elitists wondering why.
