Mike Steger, 6 September 2026



Mike Steger argues that Harvard’s failures did not begin with DEI, critical race theory, or modern campus politics. He traces the institution’s transformation back more than 300 years and examines its conflict with the religious and political movements that helped shape the American Revolution.

Mike explores Harvard’s opposition to revivalist preacher George Whitefield, its connections to Crown loyalists during the Revolution, and the influence of the Boston Brahmins. He argues that Harvard’s elite culture repeatedly aligned itself with British imperial interests instead of the American tradition of national sovereignty and economic development.

The discussion then turns to Harvard economist Frank Taussig and the intellectual campaign against protective tariffs. Mike explains how free-trade economics displaced the American System associated with Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, and William McKinley.

Mike also examines economist Jeffrey Sachs and the “shock therapy” policies implemented in Bolivia and post-Soviet Russia. He argues that these policies accelerated unemployment, privatization, economic collapse, and the rise of oligarchical power before similar neoliberal ideas contributed to American deindustrialization through NAFTA, the WTO, and globalization.

The consequences can now be seen in America’s shortage of welders, electricians, mechanics, shipbuilders, semiconductor workers, and other skilled professionals. Mike argues that the deeper crisis is the disappearance of industrial knowledge passed from one generation of American workers to the next.

President Trump’s administration has proposed regulations that could remove federal tax exemptions from private educational institutions using race-based policies. It has also launched the Foundry School, begun planning a U.S. Space Academy, and released the “Science: A New Golden Age” report outlining changes to the American research system.

Mike compares these initiatives with Lincoln’s land-grant colleges and Douglas MacArthur’s rebuilding of West Point. He argues that America must once again educate young people for engineering, manufacturing, scientific discovery, public service, and the physical development of the nation.

This is ultimately a battle between two educational models: an elite system built around credentials, abstraction, and globalization, and an American System centered on competence, industry, national mission, and human creativity.

From Greg Wischer at the United States Department of the Interior

… fountains and pools at the memorial, and the fountains’ mechanical systems—as well as the surrounding plaza, including the large sidewalk pavers—were all repaired. At the memorial, each fountain—its movement, scale, and sound—represent distinct challenges and achievements of Roosevelt’s four terms. For example, the unorderly blocks in the first photo below represent the uneasy stability of the Cold War that followed Roosevelt’s death and post-WWII period. Additional photos of some of the other fountains at the memorial are also below.”

… was also rehabilitated, including cleaning of the George Mason statue and masonry work, as well as repairing and painting of the pergola. The first photo below shows the fountain, which is located on the north end of East Potomac Park. In the second photo below, the Washington Monument is in the background, and in the third photo below, the statue of George Mason is in the background.”

This Will Be Met With a Lawsuit, Which Is Being Drawn Now

Chandler Hall, representing, on Television, the foolish Center for American Lack of Progress, stated that adding the National Guard to Cities, including our now Great Again, Washington, D.C., had “NO impact on Crime.” How crazy is that. Hall was met with furious dissent. The report is just another Radical Left SCAM, as are the people who fund this gaggle of Lunatics, including George Soros, Bill and Melinda Gates, Google, Apple, Visa, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, WellsFargo, Bank of America, Walmart, Toyota, T-Mobile, and NBC Universal. Foreign support includes the Embassy of Japan, the Korea Foundation, Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (Taiwan), and the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates. The Dumocrats love it, and are against anything “TRUMP.” These people, and others like them, are so bad for our Country. Their stated course is anything to hate or demean “TRUMP.” This will be met with a lawsuit, which is being drawn now. I am also strongly considering adding some of the contributors to this Fake Organization. Crime is way down since I took Office, and they know it. Liars, at this level, must be held accountable!

They’re Going to Give It One Last Shot

Happy Labor Day to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, and Dumocrats who will do anything possible to destroy our Country. These Deranged People, after fighting for 10 years, should finally acknowledge that your Favorite President (ME!), knows how to WIN! They should be exhausted by now but, sadly, they’re not. They’re going to give it one last shot at ruining America, but we’re not going to let that happen. We’re going to win the Midterms, BIG, and SAVE AMERICA!

Completely Unjust & Unfair

NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST!

Saudi Arabia’s Neom Is at a Standstill



Saudi Arabia’s futuristic megaproject Neom has come to a standstill, as the extraordinary costs of the planned city have collided with financial reality. After sinking more than $50 billion into Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s dreams of a sci-fi metropolis, the kingdom is now spending billions of dollars more to wind down contracts, leaving mammoth-sized partially built structures to gather sand in the desert.

What Can You Do

I do this for our Country, not myself. I’ve made Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks, and many other type Holdings, for the U.S.A., not myself, and all I do is get criticized by the Radical Left Dumocrats. Very unfair, but what can you do!
