Put America First

On the same line as Make America Great Again, I will talk about how we can put America first. I will look at the song, The Americans by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian folk singer from the ’70’s. I’ll take a look at the lyrics and also look at the tariffs President Trump is using as a trade deal with other countries.

The Americans is a commentary by Canadian broadcaster Gordon Sinclair. It was originally written for a regular broadcast on CFRB radio in Toronto on June 5, 1973. It became a media and public phenomenon. It was replayed several times a day by some radio stations and released as a hit audio recording. Ronald Reagan credited it for giving comfort to the United States in difficult times. It can be used once again in the times we’re living in right now.

The song discussed some stories from the daily news such as heavy tornado damage and flood, The American Red Cross, the United States dollars, and the Vietnam War. Hopefully, you’ll see the similarity.

The United States dollar has taken another pounding on German, French, and British exchanges this morning. Hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971. And this Canadian thinks it’s time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people in the world.

Who helped control floods on the Nile, The Amazon, the Ganges, and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is underwater. And no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debt. None of those countries.

When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up. When distant cities are hit by natural disasters, it’s the United States that hurries in to help.

The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy all pumped billions of dollars into discouraged count.

War-mongering Americans is what some called us. Yet I liked to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollars build it own airplanes. Does any country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing jur jet?

When the Americans get out of this bind, as they will, who could blame them if they said to hell with the rest of world. Let somebody else buy the bonds. Let somebody else build or repair foreign dams. When the railways of France, Germany, and India were breaking down through age. It was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose.

I can named to you 5000 times when the Americans raced to help the other people in trouble. Can you name to me even one time when someone raced to the help of the Americans in trouble? I don’t think so. The American Red Cross was told at it’s 48th annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke. This year disasters, with the year less than half over, have taken it all, and nobody, but nobody, has helped.

I remembered as I was growing up, my step-dad would say, “Whenever the Americans would destroy a country in times of war, they would go back and help them rebuild without even a thank you.” Maybe it’s time we say, “you rebuild yourself.”

It seems with the United Nations, the United States is expected to help other countries during their crises such as natural disasters and/or wars. Yet other countries are not willing to share the load. The United States had given the Ukraine more aid than the Europeans. Now that President Trump is saying no to money being sent to the Ukraine; those on the Left are crying about it.

Those on the Left is losing their mind over DOGE’s investigation of the missing money by Elon Musk and President Trump.

As President Trump started the TARIFFS as a trade deals with other countries, those on the Left are crying saying that it will hurt the economy. TARIFFS is a duty imposed by the national government, customs territory, or supranational union on imports of goods and is paid by the importer.

Before we had income tax, the United States used TARIFFS as part of their trade agreement. Even President Obama had used TARIFFS in his trade deals; yet those on the Left seems to had forgotten about it because of their hatred for Donald Trump.

It’s time we put America first. It’s time the American people buy made in America products. The only reasons things were made in other countries is because the high regulations put on them by the Democrats and the Federal Government. We have the supplies in this country, to be independent rather than dependent on foreign countries and terrorist. Stop buying things made in China! With us buying from China, we’re only helping build their economy and hurting ours. Stop buying oil from the Middle East, like Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. By helping them, we are funding terrorism. Remembered, they hate America and they even chant, “Death to America.”

I know this may sounds selfish and unchristlike but sometimes we have to look out for ourselves rather than help other countries that are taking advantage of the United States.

Other countries used TARIFFS themselves as part of their trade deals especially with the United States. Their TARIFFS is higher than what President Trump had set in place. Other countries are caving in to President Trump’s TARIFFS There are countries that do not want to purchased food supplies from the United States because of all the chemicals we put into it. Yet, China is doing way worse than we are. They are actually poisoning us. The Pandemic should have been a wake up call for us.

Maybe it’s time the United States pull out of the United Nations, because all they do is take advantage of us and our generous nature. After a war, the United States should not go back into that country to rebuild but rather say, “You’re on your own.”

It’s time to buy American made products. It will create jobs and put America first. It can only be done with a Nationalist President not a Globalist. It’s time we say, “the heck with the rest of the world!” What do you think? Are you in favor of putting America first? Are you in favor of TARIFFS?

The illegal immigrants hate America but yet they are willing to come to this country illegally. America is a great country but right now we have some problems thus we need to make America great again. No other countries will look out for the United States. It’s up to us and us alone to look out for ourselves. Stop getting into other countries wars! Stop dealing with terrorists and our enemies! Not just Russia but China are our enemies. They both are out to destroy America and become top dog in the world. Yet those on the Left doesn’t see China as a threat like they see Russia.

We got people here in this country who needs help. The time is now to say, “The hell with the other countries and only help our own people. What do you think? I want to hear from you.
