To the Point
Who's Afraid of Free Trade? Free trade is one issue responsible for the success of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders — in their campaigns against the centrist establishments of both major political parties. Nobody is more directly involved in the consequences of international agreements and the business of free trade than the truckers who pick up goods at America's two busiest ports and deliver them across the country. But even they are divided about the merits of free trade. And as the presidential campaign moves West, we hear that even California voters are ambivalent about the future of free trade.

California catastrophe The fires rage on in our own backyard, and in Northern California, encompassing tens of thousands of acres each. In L-A and Ventura Counties, the Woolsey Fire has scorched everything in its path. To the north, in Butte County, the Camp Fire has charred and destroyed even more acreage, of trees, brush and everything else, north of Sacramento, and the town of Paradise is a scene of utter devastation and heartbreak.
