Made in the U.S. of A.
(Why Uncle Sam's Tired of Riding Shotgun)

It feels the past four years have dragged on and America took a back seat to Ukraine, Hunter Biden's laptop, and Taylor Swift.

Remember when “Made in America” wasn’t just a sticker you saw once a year at a state fair wedged between deep-fried butter and a bald eagle keychain?

Yeah, Uncle Sam remembers.

He also remembers when we built cars you could fix with a wrench and some elbow grease—not a team of Swiss engineers. When Main Street had more factories than nail salons, and jobs didn’t need a passport and a supply chain to show up on time.

But somewhere between “globalization” and “cost-efficiency,” we handed the driver’s seat to someone else—and America’s been in the backseat ever since, eating chips and trying not to ask, “Are we there yet?”

Well, we’re turning this jalopy around.

Because "America First" isn’t about waving a flag harder—it's about earning that flag on every box, bolt, and barcode. It's about bringing jobs back home—not just the ones that build things, but the ones that mean something. Dignity doesn’t come with two-day shipping from overseas.

Let’s stop outsourcing what made this country tick: hard work, innovation, and knowing how to weld a thing or two.

It’s time to roll up our sleeves, dust off the blueprints, and start making stuff here again. Because America doesn’t belong in the trunk, the glove box, or the footwell of some international economy.

No sir.

It’s high time we made America… the driver.

And this time, we’re not stopping for directions.
