Note to government bureaucrats panting to regulate Facebook: Back off! And that’s from someone who is no fan of the social media giant. As the Cambridge Analytica scandal unfolds, politicians and government officials in the U.S. and England are itching to pounce. Fueled by Facebook’s repeated disregard for customer privacy and its link to the […]
Great news! Hillary Clinton has finally figured out What Happened! It wasn’t, after all, James Comey or racism or Vladimir Putin or sexism or the hostile media that torpedoed her bid for the White House. Instead, it was…(drumroll please…) millions of Stepford wives, voting the way their husbands told them to. In her insatiable thirst […]
Next week, Democrat activist Tom Steyer goes to Columbus, Ohio, to host the first of 30 “impeach Trump” town halls planned in coming months across the country. The gatherings are part of the billionaire’s $20 million campaign to unseat President Trump. His group, Need to Impeach, not only calls for Trump to be removed from office, but […]
It’s been a long time since the liberal media was so enthusiastic about a Goldman Sachs guy. The reaction to economic advisor Gary Cohn’s exit from the Trump White House was dramatic: the sky (and the market) is falling, again. CNBC, as an example, ran with this headline: “Wall Street should be afraid of what […]
Is it possible there’s some method behind President Trump’s tariff madness? Consider the timeline: Last Thursday, President Trump announced that his administration would impose a 10-percent import tariff on aluminum and 25-percent tariff on steel beginning “sometime next week.” Also on Thursday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn met with […]
Who wins from Trump’s tax cuts? Workers? Investors? How about “all of the above”? Democrats are enjoying an “I told you so” moment. As corporations like Cisco announce big stock buybacks, Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) prediction that corporations would use their winnings from the tax bill to reward shareholders and not workers appears prescient. On the other […]
It’s official: President Trump is running for re-election. He announced Tuesday that he has appointed Brad Parscale as his campaign manager and that planning for the 2020 race is underway. Few are surprised, since the president filed required paperwork to organize his campaign committee on Inauguration Day last year. That sounds not only dutiful, but […]
Who says the U.S. economy can’t grow faster than 2 percent per year? Many liberal economists, perhaps embarrassed that the Obama White House presided over such a prolonged period of tepid gains, continue to make that case. These people include Obama’s National Economic Council Director Larry Summers, who claimed in 2013 that the country had entered a […]
In a recent tweet, President Trump asked: “Why didn’t Obama do something about the (Russian) meddling?” It’s a good question, especially since, as President Trump pointed out, “all of the Russian meddling took place during the Obama administration.” The answer to President Trump’s question is that over the course of eight years the Obama administration […]
Bad news for Democrats: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) tax bill “crumbs” are feeding a monster rally in optimism across the country. Approval of the GOP tax cuts climbs steadily higher, fueling faster growth and increasing investment and undermining Democrats’ chances of a “blue wave” in November. A new survey shows confidence among small business owners […]
