Heads up, millennials: Some of your favorite services may soon disappear. The California Senate just passed AB5, a bill almost sure to become law that could shut down the “gig” economy — endangering companies like Uber and DoorDash, firms your generation has come to depend on. You can thank the so-called “progressive” politicians in California […]
Hurricane Dorian has claimed another victim: victory for Democrats in 2020. Last week’s marathon CNN climate forum makes it clear: Dorian blew what remained of Democrat common sense right off the map. Ask yourself, is Elizabeth Warren smart to promise she’ll ban fracking, when Democrats are desperate to win Pennsylvania in 2020, and the Marcellus fracking play has produced hundreds of thousands of jobs and tens […]
Anti-Trumpers agree: The president’s trade battle with China is hurting our economy and, in particular, America’s farmers. We are told that the tariff tiffs have caused a collapse in U.S. agricultural exports to China, and consequent heartbreak in our heartland. It isn’t true. As with most criticisms lodged against the Trump White House, this oft-repeated […]
Fear not America, Bernie Sanders will not become our 46th president. Admittedly, the socialist senator from Vermont – who wants to overthrow our capitalist system that has created untold wealth, extended opportunity to all and is the envy of the world – is again outperforming expectations. As in 2016, Sanders is going […]
Democrats may have just clobbered their chances of victory in 2020. While all eyes were trained on President Donald Trump’s furious confrontation with China last week, Democrat officials at their party’s convention in San Francisco again voted down a resolution calling for a candidate debate on climate change. That could prove a […]
It is an article of faith in some circles that if the U.S. economy stops growing, President Trump will not be reelected in 2020. Thus opines Ross Douthat in The New York Times in a recent column headlined “What Happens in a Recession?” Answering his own question, Douthat writes: “First, the easy […]
Let us not let the left-wing media talk us into a recession. Make no mistake: they are eager to do so. For months the liberal press has echoed Democrats’ hand-wringing on the campaign trail, repeating Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s unwarranted warnings about debt levels for instance, or former Vice President Joe Biden’s alarms […]
Renewed telephone conversations between high-level American and Chinese trade negotiators have led the White House to postpone tariffs on some Chinese imports from Sept. 1 to Dec. 15, and to remove other items from the list altogether. Critics will say that President Trump blinked, buffeted by swooning stock markets and talk of a possible […]
Democrats are panicking. In the wake of his many gaffes and shaky debate performances, many view front-runner Joe Biden as unable to go the distance, and unlikely to beat Donald Trump if he succeeds in winning the Democratic nomination. Which of the more than 20 other candidates in the race would be a […]
President Trump should do more to tackle gun violence, because it is the right thing to do, and because it would drive Democrats crazy. First up: let’s set the record straight. Fact: President Trump is no more responsible for the heinous shootings in El Paso and Dayton than President Obama was responsible for the slaughter […]
