Reshoring Pays Off: GE Appliances Commits $3B to U.S. Plants

Key Takeaways

  • Massive U.S. Commitment: GE Appliances is investing $3 billion over five years to expand production at its 11 U.S. plants, bringing manufacturing back from Mexico, China, and overseas.
  • Jobs and Growth: The company contributes over $30 billion annually to the U.S. economy, supports 113,000 jobs, and plans expansions in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
  • Reshoring Leadership: By winning the National Metalworking Reshoring Award, GE Appliances proves that local production not only strengthens supply chains but also drives innovation and competitiveness.

At a time when too many companies still chase cheap overseas labor, GE Appliances is proving that investing in America pays off. The company, now owned by Haier, has earned the prestigious National Metalworking Reshoring Award, recognizing its leadership in revitalizing U.S. manufacturing and strengthening domestic supply chains.

In August, GE Appliances announced a $3 billion, five-year plan to expand production across its 11 U.S. plants and microfactories. Since 2016, the company has committed $6.5 billion to American operations, fueling innovation, plant upgrades, and supplier growth. “This award is proof that when you invest in American workers and factories, you strengthen supply chains and fuel the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing,” said Bill Good, Vice President of Supply Chain. “It’s a testament to our 15,500 employees nationwide who help show the world that American manufacturing has a bold future.”

The numbers are striking: GE Appliances contributes over $30 billion annually to the U.S. economy and supports 113,000 jobs across its plants, suppliers, and logistics network. Guided by its “Zero Distance” strategy—building closer to customers—the company is reshoring entire product lines. Gas ranges are moving from Mexico to Georgia, refrigerators from China to Alabama, water heaters from overseas to South Carolina, and new AC units are rolling out of Tennessee.

Harry Moser, founder of the Reshoring Initiative, put it simply: “Local production strengthens competitiveness, secures supply chains, and uplifts communities.” In other words, bringing jobs home isn’t just patriotic—it’s smart economics.

This is the free market at its best: companies realizing that building in America lowers total costs, improves quality, and fosters innovation. GE Appliances’ reshoring push embodies exactly what President Trump has championed for years—secure supply chains, strong American jobs, and a future where “Made in the USA” means world-class excellence.

Made in Texas: Samsung Secures Record Grant for $4.7B Chip Plant

Key Takeaways

  • Record Texas Investment: Samsung won a $250 million state grant tied to its $4.73 billion Taylor facility, the largest award in Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund history.
  • Jobs and Growth: The 6-million-square-foot project will create 2,000 direct jobs and thousands more in the surrounding ecosystem, anchoring Samsung’s $37 billion Central Texas expansion.
  • Strategic Partnership: Backed by federal CHIPS Act funding, the plant will manufacture Tesla’s next-generation AI6 chips—cementing America’s leadership in AI, national security, and advanced manufacturing.

Samsung is doubling down on Texas—and American taxpayers are making sure the investment pays off. The tech giant has secured a record-setting $250 million grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund to support its $4.73 billion fabrication facility under construction in Taylor, just outside Austin.

“This $4.73 billion investment by Samsung in their Taylor semiconductor fabrication facility will provide a more secure domestic supply of chips for critical U.S. industries,” Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday. He’s right. Semiconductors aren’t just the brains of smartphones and laptops—they’re the backbone of America’s cars, defense systems, and future AI innovation.

Samsung has been in Texas since the 1990s, employing more than 4,500 people. This new project is on another level: 6 million square feet across 1,000 acres, including two logic fabs, an R&D facility, and plans for up to 11 additional fabs down the line. Once operational, it’s expected to directly employ 2,000 people and generate thousands more jobs in the surrounding ecosystem.

The project is also buoyed by up to $4.75 billion in federal funding under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, part of Samsung’s massive $37 billion Central Texas bet. And the timing couldn’t be better. In July, Tesla inked a $16.5 billion deal with Samsung to build its next-generation AI6 chips in Taylor—technology destined to power Tesla vehicles, Optimus robots, and AI data centers.

Critics may gripe about government incentives, but here’s the reality: Trump’s America First tariffs and pressure campaigns forced global giants to put America back at the center of their supply chains. The result? High-paying jobs, supply chain security, and innovation staying on U.S. soil instead of being shipped to China or Taiwan.

Samsung’s Texas expansion isn’t just about chips. It’s about national security, economic growth, and proving—yet again—that America leads when it invests in itself.

Charlie Kirk’s Alleged Killer Faces Capital Punishment After Formal Charges

Key Takeaways

  • Heavy Charges Filed: Tyler Robinson faces aggravated murder, firearm discharge, obstruction, witness tampering, and violent offense charges, with prosecutors moving to seek the death penalty.
  • Attack on Free Speech: Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray stressed that Kirk was killed while exercising America’s “most sacred and cherished” right — the free exchange of ideas.
  • Evidence of Intent: FBI Director Kash Patel revealed Robinson left a note reading, “I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it,” confirming premeditation.

Tyler Robinson was formally charged Tuesday in the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, as prosecutors announced a sweeping set of felonies and said they will seek the death penalty. Robinson, 22, faces aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child, CBS News reported.

Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray aired the charges and emphasized the attack’s assault on a core American value. “Charlie Kirk was murdered while engaging in one of our most sacred and cherished American rights, the bedrock of our democratic republic, the free exchange of ideas and the search for truth, understanding and a more perfect union,” Gray said.

Robinson is being held without bail at the Utah County jail and is scheduled to make his first court appearance Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. Prosecutors told reporters they will pursue capital punishment, signaling the gravity with which authorities view the case. The charging announcement was broadcast live on Breitbart News.

Further chilling details emerged as FBI Director Kash Patel indicated Robinson left behind a written admission. BBC quoted Patel reading the note’s message: “I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it.” Authorities say that admission, along with evidence of online postings and witness statements, helped build the case.

This prosecution is now the nation’s test: defend free speech by enforcing the rule of law. Political violence isn’t debate — it’s a criminal act that undermines civil society, economic stability, and the safe functioning of markets that depend on predictable rule-following. Law enforcement and prosecutors appear determined to see justice through the courts. For a country built on free expression and enterprise, protecting peaceful speech and holding perpetrators accountable must be nonpartisan priorities.

MAHA: Tyson Goes Corn Syrup-Free by 2025

Key Takeaways

  • Voluntary Reform: Tyson Foods will phase out high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, BHA/BHT, and titanium dioxide from its branded products by the end of 2025.
  • Consumer Demand Wins: The move shows the free market at work—no government mandate, just a company listening to families who want simpler, healthier ingredients.
  • Broader Commitment: Along with cutting additives, Tyson has already removed synthetic dyes and continues to lower sodium and sugars across its iconic brands.

Tyson Foods is making a bold bet on the American consumer’s appetite for cleaner, simpler food. On Monday, the food giant announced it will remove high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, BHA/BHT, and titanium dioxide from its branded products by the end of 2025.

That means household names like Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Wright, State Fair, Aidells, and ibp will soon carry a label free of some of the most criticized additives on the market. The move follows Tyson’s earlier decision this year to eliminate petroleum-based synthetic dyes from its U.S. products.

It’s important to note: these ingredients are FDA-approved and legal to use. Tyson doesn’t have to make this change. But in classic free-market fashion, the company is responding to customer demand, not government mandates.

“We continuously review and assess our product portfolio to ensure the highest quality products that meet the needs of consumers,” said Donnie King, Tyson’s President and CEO. “Our decision to remove high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients reflects our ongoing commitment to feeding the world like family, while preserving the taste, value and integrity that define our iconic brands.”

The company has also pledged to continue cutting back on sodium, sugars, and other additives.

In short: consumers wanted cleaner food, and the market delivered. No heavy-handed regulation required—just good old-fashioned competition driving innovation. That’s how free enterprise works, and why America still leads the world in both business and consumer choice.

Sen. Schiff Smears FBI Director Patel as ‘Internet Troll’

Sen. Schiff Smears FBI Director Patel as ‘Internet Troll’

Key Takeaways

  • Schiff’s Rant: On MSNBC, Adam Schiff accused FBI Director Kash Patel of being “incompetent” and an “internet troll,” slamming his leadership.
  • Draining the Swamp: Schiff complained that Patel is firing entrenched FBI officials tied to Trump investigations—exactly the kind of accountability conservatives have demanded for years.
  • Refocusing Priorities: Patel has redirected FBI resources toward border enforcement and immigration raids, proving his commitment to real national security over political witch hunts.

Leave it to Rep. Adam Schiff, the architect of the Russia hoax, to accuse someone else of incompetence. On Tuesday’s MSNBC program All In, Schiff blasted FBI Director Kash Patel, calling him an “incompetent” internet troll. The irony? Patel has done more in a year to clean up the bureau than Schiff has done in his decades on Capitol Hill.

Host Chris Hayes teed up the attack, asking if Schiff trusted the FBI’s counterterrorism operations under Patel. Schiff’s response was dripping with partisan spin: “Not only is Patel incompetent, but he is firing all the competent people.” Schiff alleged Patel removed senior FBI leaders simply for overseeing Trump-related investigations and claimed he diverted agents from cases like sex trafficking and counterterrorism to focus on immigration raids.

Schiff concluded his rant with this jab: “You can take an internet troll and make him FBI director, but he’s still not going to be anything more than an internet troll.”

Let’s be clear: what Schiff calls “firing competent people” is really draining the swamp. Patel is cutting loose partisan bureaucrats who abused their power to go after Trump and other conservatives. Reallocating resources to secure America’s borders is not incompetence—it’s leadership.

While Schiff and his MSNBC friends clutch their pearls, Patel is doing the work of restoring accountability, enforcing the law, and putting American security first. Washington elites may not like it, but Main Street America knows: it’s about time someone cleaned house.

FBI Links Robinson to Kirk’s Murder Weapon with DNA

Key Takeaways

  • DNA Matches Confirmed: FBI testing shows Tyler Robinson’s DNA on both a towel covering the rifle and a screwdriver at the sniper’s perch.
  • Written Confession: Forensic evidence confirms Robinson left a note admitting he intended to “take out Charlie Kirk.”
  • Ongoing Investigation: While additional DNA on the rifle is being analyzed, Robinson remains uncooperative with federal investigators.

The FBI revealed that evidence is stacking up against Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin. On Monday morning, Director Kash Patel revealed on Fox & Friends that DNA samples from the crime scene directly tie 22-year-old Tyler Robinson to the plot.

Investigators found Robinson’s DNA on a towel used to cover the rifle later ditched in nearby woods, as well as on a screwdriver left at the sniper’s perch atop the Utah Valley University rooftop. Patel noted that forensic teams also recovered remnants of a handwritten note where Robinson admitted he had the chance to “take out Charlie Kirk” and was “going to take it.”

“Even though it was destroyed – we have found forensic evidence of the note and we have confirmed what the note said because of our aggressive interview posture at the FBI,” Patel explained.

Additional DNA recovered from the .30 caliber, bolt-action rifle used in the shooting is still being analyzed, Patel said, while Robinson himself remains uncooperative.

$30 Billion Bet: GSK Chooses America for Biotech’s Future

$30 Billion Bet: GSK Chooses America for Biotech’s Future

Key Takeaways

  • Massive U.S. Commitment: British drugmaker GSK announced a five-year, $30 billion investment in U.S. research, development, and manufacturing, including a new biologics “flex” factory in Pennsylvania.
  • Trump’s Policy Influence: The move reflects President Trump’s push for Big Pharma to bring operations home under threat of tariffs as high as 250% on foreign-made drugs.
  • Jobs and Global Leadership: The project will create hundreds of American jobs, strengthen U.S. supply chains, and cement America’s role as the world leader in life sciences innovation.

President Donald Trump’s “America First” economic vision continues to pay dividends—literally. British pharmaceutical giant GSK announced a five-year, $30 billion investment in U.S. research, development, and manufacturing just as Trump touched down in the U.K. for his state visit.

The money will be spread across GSK’s American supply chain, drug discovery, and clinical trials. In fact, the company says the U.S. will host more of its trials than any other country in the world during this period. Translation: America is the center of gravity for global biotech.

Of that $30 billion, $1.2 billion is earmarked for advanced manufacturing and AI—funding a new biologics “flex” factory in Upper Merion, Pennsylvania, and expanding digital capabilities at plants in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Maryland, and Montana. Hundreds of jobs will follow, from construction workers to engineers and scientists.

GSK CEO Emma Walmsley called the plan a reflection of the “shared interests that connect the U.K. and the United States,” noting both nations’ leadership in healthcare innovation. That may be true—but make no mistake, this is also about Trump’s tough trade policy. By threatening tariffs of up to 250% on foreign-made drugs, the president made it clear: invest in America, or risk losing America. Big Pharma listened.

They’re not alone. Roche has pledged $50 billion in U.S. projects, Johnson & Johnson $55 billion, Sanofi and Novartis $20 billion each. Eli Lilly just unveiled a $5 billion cancer drug facility in Virginia. Meanwhile, across the pond, the U.K. is bleeding investment as Merck, Sanofi, and AstraZeneca scale back.

Once again, Trump is proving that strong leadership, tough negotiations, and unapologetic economic nationalism don’t just bring jobs home—they make America the undisputed leader in life sciences.

Trump Calls to End Quarterly Earnings, Pushes for Long-Term Growth

Trump Calls to End Quarterly Earnings, Pushes for Long-Term Growth

Key Takeaways

  • Trump’s Proposal: The former president urged the SEC to end mandatory quarterly earnings reports, saying it would “save money” and let managers focus on running their companies.
  • Short-Term vs. Long-Term: Supporters argue quarterly reporting fuels Wall Street’s short-term obsession, while a six-month schedule would allow companies to prioritize sustainable growth.
  • Free Enterprise Focus: Trump’s push reflects his pro-business approach—cutting red tape, reducing costs, and giving U.S. companies more freedom to innovate and compete globally.

President Donald Trump is shaking up the status quo in Washington—this time by targeting Wall Street’s obsession with quarterly earnings.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said it’s time for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to scrap mandatory quarterly reporting and move to a six-month schedule. “This will save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies,” Trump wrote. He added, “Did you ever hear the statement that, ‘China has a 50 to 100 year view on management of a company, whereas we run our companies on a quarterly basis???’ Not good!!!”

Quarterly reporting has been the law of the land since 1970, when the SEC moved to tighten disclosures after a postwar boom gave way to a recession. Supporters of the practice argue it keeps investors informed and reduces the chance companies hide losses. Critics, however, say it’s a costly compliance burden that distracts executives from building long-term value.

Trump isn’t alone in this fight. The Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE) recently announced it will petition the SEC to allow semi-annual reports, arguing that today’s system fuels “quarterly noise” rather than innovation and sustainable growth. “This petition takes a critical step toward enabling genuinely long-term companies to focus on sustainable growth,” LTSE CEO Maliz Beams said.

For business leaders and entrepreneurs, the question is simple: do we want CEOs tied to Wall Street’s 90-day treadmill, or free to invest, expand, and compete globally? Trump’s proposal reflects a distinctly pro-growth, pro-enterprise vision—where leaders build companies that last, rather than just beat the next earnings whisper.

It’s classic Trump: cut red tape, save money, and let businesses do what they do best—create jobs and fuel American exceptionalism.

Trump Admin Plans Nat’l Guard Deployment to Tackle Crime in Louisiana

Trump Admin Plans Nat’l Guard Deployment to Tackle Crime in Louisiana

Key Takeaways

  • Proposed Deployment: Draft Pentagon documents show a Trump administration plan to send 1,000 National Guard troops to Louisiana’s urban centers to support local law enforcement.
  • Focus on Public Safety: Guard personnel would bolster police with communications, logistics, and drug interdiction support—helping secure high-crime neighborhoods in cities like New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
  • Law and Order Agenda: While Democrats dismiss the plan as political theater, Trump continues to prioritize safe streets as essential for thriving communities, businesses, and economic growth.

President Donald Trump isn’t backing down from his promise to restore law and order. According to Pentagon planning documents obtained by the Washington Post, his administration has drafted a proposal to deploy 1,000 Louisiana National Guard troops into the state’s urban centers, including New Orleans and Baton Rouge, to supplement local law enforcement.

The plan, still in draft form, would mobilize Guard personnel through September 2026, providing “logistical and communications support,” drug interdiction, and boots-on-the-ground presence in high-crime neighborhoods. A draft memo from Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth reportedly highlighted the “unique advantage” of this approach, aimed at bolstering overwhelmed police forces.

While Democrats predictably blasted the move as a “show of power,” the reality is simple: safer streets mean stronger communities, healthier businesses, and more opportunity for working families. Trump understands that without public safety, free enterprise can’t thrive.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, a Republican ally of Trump, would need to formally request the assistance. Pentagon officials stressed the documents are preliminary, but the proposal underscores the administration’s seriousness about cracking down on violent crime. On Friday, Trump also pledged to send National Guard troops to Memphis, Tennessee.

Critics complain that violent crime rates have declined nationwide. But ask any small business owner in an urban corridor plagued by theft or drug violence whether the problem is “solved,” and you’ll hear the truth. Crime—even the perception of it—kills investment, jobs, and growth.

By considering a proactive deployment, Trump is sending a message: America’s cities should be safe for families and commerce, not breeding grounds for lawlessness. For entrepreneurs and taxpayers alike, a government that prioritizes law and order is not just protecting lives—it’s safeguarding livelihoods.
