  • Trump’s Middle East Trip: Major Deals Signed Across Energy, Defense & Tech
    Former President Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic visit to the Middle East included a flurry of high-level agreements spanning energy cooperation, arms sales, infrastructure investment, and tech partnerships.

    Key takeaways from the trip:
    • Multi-billion dollar defense and energy contracts
    • Regional investment pledges from Gulf nations
    • Strategic tech and telecom alliances with U.S. firms
    • A growing pivot away from China and toward Western markets

    While critics question the long-term impact, supporters say this is a bold step in reasserting American influence in the region.

    Nissan is reportedly closing seven manufacturing plants and cutting 20,000 jobs globally, sending shockwaves through the auto industry.

    The move reflects collapsing global demand, supply chain chaos, and the cost of government overreach in energy and labor markets.

    Meanwhile, New York under current leadership has chased manufacturing away — but under JSA2026, we bring it back.

  • Apple’s 20th-Anniversary iPhone Too Complex to Make Anywhere But China

    Apple’s upcoming 20th-anniversary iPhone is reportedly so advanced that only Chinese factories have the manufacturing capability to produce it, according to insiders.

    Described as “extraordinarily complex,” the device features new materials, custom internals, and design innovations that push the limits of global production.
    Despite recent efforts to shift supply chains elsewhere, Apple is relying on China's unmatched precision and scale to bring the futuristic device to life.

    With geopolitical tensions rising, this dependency raises major questions about U.S. tech independence and national security.

  • From Junk Wires to Broken Deals: Why China Tariffs Are Just the Start

    Once upon a time, America believed in trade deals.
    We believed that opening markets would lift everyone, that cheap goods would help families stretch a dollar, and that global cooperation would lead to global respect.

    But then reality hit—in the form of 3 copper strands and a useless fiber wire from a “universal” car stereo made in China.

    That’s not a metaphor. That’s the quality we’re importing.
    You can’t even wire a Chinese head unit into an American car without praying it works, because their definition of "wiring" is flimsy, cheap, and borderline fraudulent.

    American wires? Still thin, but real copper.
    Chinese wires? Three strands and a dream.

    And this isn’t just about stereos. It’s across the board:

    The Trade Deficit Story
    In 2023, the U.S. trade deficit with China hit $279 billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

    That means we imported nearly $280 billion more in goods from China than they bought from us.

    For every $1 of goods they buy from us, we buy over $4 from them.

    We’re not just losing money—we’re losing manufacturing, losing jobs, and lowering our standards.

    Quality Control: The Illusion of Value
    Think about it:

    How many times have you ordered electronics from eBay or Amazon and had to send them back?

    How many of us have bought “cheap” only to realize it costs twice as much in time, replacements, or repairs?

    This isn’t “affordable”—it’s predatory pricing disguised as savings.
    It’s not a “deal” if you’re replacing it in a month.

    Unfair Playing Field
    U.S. businesses follow labor laws, environmental rules, and safety standards.

    China floods our markets while operating state-owned factories with low wages, minimal regulations, and zero accountability.

    And when we try to push back? They call it a trade war.
    We call it common sense.

    Bottom Line:
    Until China can produce goods that match American craftsmanship, safety, and standards—we shouldn’t just tariff them.
    We should cut them off entirely from essential industries: tech, energy, defense, infrastructure.

    We need to bring manufacturing back home.
    We need to rebuild pride in “Made in the USA.”
    We need to stop apologizing for wanting quality, fairness, and jobs right here at home.

  • U.S. Proposes MASSIVE 3,500% Tariffs on Southeast Asian Solar Panels

    In a bold move, the U.S. is pushing to slap tariffs as high as 3,500% on solar panels imported from Southeast Asia, according to CNN Business. The goal? Crack down on Chinese companies skirting tariffs by routing production through countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.

    But here’s the catch:
    Prices could spike, green energy projects could stall, and working families may pay the price.

    JSA2026 Campaign Response:

    “We support standing up to China. But tariffs without a full domestic production plan just punish consumers. If New York is serious about energy independence, we need local solar manufacturing, not just headline tariffs.”

    This is why the JSA2026 platform calls for:

    Special Economic Zones for green tech in NY

    Local tax breaks for energy startups

    Retraining programs for fossil fuel workers into clean tech

    Tariffs alone don’t fix the system. Production does.

  • The White House’s 8 Big Tariff Flip-Flops Since ‘Liberation Day’
    From bold claims of economic freedom to backpedaling on core policies, the Biden administration’s tariff decisions have become a case study in contradiction. After celebrating “Liberation Day” from Trump-era trade policies, the White House has quietly brought many of them back — and even expanded them in some cases.

    From China to steel, electric vehicles to semiconductors, the message to Americans has shifted more times than the tariff tables themselves. Are these strategic pivots or signs of deeper dysfunction?

    Tariffs were supposed to be gone. So why are they growing again?

  • Silicon Valley Drone Makers EXPOSED: China Controls Critical Military Tech

    America’s most advanced military drones — built right here in Silicon Valley — are dangerously reliant on Chinese-made parts. Skydio and Shield AI, two U.S. defense leaders, are now struggling to maintain production after China cut off battery and component exports.

    Despite billions in defense contracts, these companies can’t fully function without tech from our biggest rival. The risk? National security and battlefield readiness are on the line.

    China holds a near monopoly on drone parts — up to 85% globally.
    Skydio sanctioned by China in 2024.
