GOP trust-busters are embracing a left-wing agenda

It’s not too often that Republicans embrace the agenda of leftist Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. But it’s happening.

Josh Hawley, the young Republican senator from Missouri, has introduced a bill called the Trust-Busting for the Twenty-First Century Act. It may be the most dangerous bill to our economy from a Republican in ages. It would reduce competitiveness, cost millions of jobs, penalize companies for growing and being profitable, kill funding for small-business startups, and empower unprecedented new regulatory powers to the deep state lawyers and bureaucrats in Washington.

Hawley is no fan of the politics of Big Tech (who is?), so he wants to put new teeth into antitrust laws that were birthed during America’s first “Progressive Era.” His bill would:

1. Ban mergers and acquisitions by firms with a market cap of over $100 billion.
2. Change the standard of “monopolistic” behavior from causing “consumer harm” to one that emphasizes “the protection of competition.”
3. Significantly expand the power of federal regulatory agencies to rein in domestic firms in the high-tech sector.

Hawley, whose background is as a lawyer (of course), defends his bill by saying: “This country and this government shouldn’t be run by a few megacorporations.” The Republican Party “has got to become the party of trust-busting once again.”

Yikes. That’s like saying we should bring back smallpox.

Trust-busting is based on the century-old leftist fairy tale that says rapacious “robber barons had taken over America.” Economist Burt Folsom exploded these liberal lies in his classic book The Myth of The Robber Barons, which shows definitively that J.P. Morgan, Henry Ford, Andrew Mellon, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller were anything but villains who raped consumers with their monopolistic behavior and “stockpiles of wealth.”

“You may recall that film (Weekend at Bernie’s) involved a couple of losers pretending their dead boss was actually still alive so they could enjoy his beach house and his extravagant lifestyle for a weekend,” Mr Bernardi said.

“Now we have ‘Weekend at Bidens’, it’s the reality show where the Democrats put up a barely cogent candidate for President just so they could enjoy the spoils of office for four years”.

“It features an all-star cast of the politically semi-lucid, headlined by Joe Biden himself.”

Mr Bernardi said the plot is “pretty simple”: a “trio of near octogenarians” seize control of the most powerful nation in the world while “not having any idea what they are doing”.

The Great Reset Is Just a MacGuffin for Total State Control

The United States has always presented a roadblock to the ambitions of globalist oligarchs through its one-two punch of a Constitution that clearly constrains the powers of government while empowering the people and an American culture that prides itself on representing the last, best hope for freedom on the planet.  So how do you “reset” America so that it becomes just another socialist country controlled by an elite few?  You undermine America’s freedoms by undermining her foundations.  You go to war with the American people.

“White supremacy” is the socialists’ “yellowcake uranium.”  It’s really that simple.  You can’t start a war against society without an excuse, and you can’t engage in perpetual war unless the excuse chosen is so vague and illusory that it can’t possibly be vanquished.  This has always been a particular talent of power-hungry socialists.  They know how to engage their troops in endless battles by choosing inexhaustible targets: bourgeois materialism, carbon dioxide, hate, whiteness.  It’s bloody (evil) genius!  “We’re going to wage war against the middle class, natural air, bad thoughts, and skin color — that should keep everyone busy!”

Imagine if George Bush had been half so clever before invading Iraq: “We’re taking down Saddam’s murderous regime because he refuses to believe in climate change.  On that subject, the science has long been settled, so Saddam and his climate denier sons must go.”  Now, that’s how you declare war in the Age of Idiocy!  If you blame hostilities on yellowcake uranium, you’ve actually got to find some yellowcake.  If you go to war in defense of the weather, by golly, nobody will stand in your way!
