The recent rail worker settlement reminds us that Joe Biden, far from fighting inflation, is actually enabling price increases, in three important ways. First, he will not stop spending. After crowing about the dubious deficit cuts contained in his Inflation Reduction Act, the president decided to cancel student debt to the tune of as much as another trillion […]
As President Biden travels the country touting his economic successes and excoriating former President Trump, we prepare for the next debacle courtesy of this president: Biden’s stagflation. We’ve had Biden’s inflation, Biden’s recession and Biden’s natural gas shortage. Now we have renewed inflation and the very real possibility of a double-dip recession. Tuesday’s report from the Bureau […]
Biden calls this confrontation a “battle for the soul of this nation.” He calls Trump (and his supporters) extreme, and a threat to Democracy. He imbues the former president not only with evil intentions but immense super powers. It’s worth noting that despite the demagoguery, Biden rightfully occupies the Oval Office, elections are proceeding apace and, […]
We’ve had Biden’s inflation and Biden’s recession; now we face Biden’s energy crisis. It didn’t have to be this way. Twenty million Americans are behind on their utility bills, according to the National Energy Assistance Directors Association. Who is surprised? Even as real wages tumbled 3.6 percent over the past year, electricity prices increased 16 percent, squeezing consumers. Unhappily, […]
Are Republicans really about to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? That’s what the liberal media would have you believe. For the past few weeks the New York Times, Washington Post et al – the usual message boards for the Democratic National Committee – have been celebrating Joe Biden’s slightly rising poll numbers and legislative “accomplishments.” […]
The biggest challenge for Lee Zeldin, who is running for governor of New York, is convincing fed-up New Yorkers that he has a chance. Defeatism is the go-to mindset of Republicans in the Empire State. During the 2017 election, when Mayor de Blasio was four years into destroying New York City, getting right-leaning voters energized […]
America’s CEOs are in the dumps. According to a new Conference Board survey, CEO sentiment has plunged to 34, down from 42 in the second quarter and 57 in the first three months of the year. Early in Joe Biden’s presidency, when businesses were still celebrating the exit of the unpredictable Donald Trump, COVID-19 seemed to be waning […]
The FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was a reckless political stunt meant to show the left that Attorney General Merrick Garland will keep the heat on former President Donald Trump. It was unprecedented, seemingly unnecessary, and infuriating to the millions who saw the heavily armed agents’ 10-hour search vividly spotlighting our uneven application of justice. The […]
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is rushing to push through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. I don’t blame him. The more scrutiny the mini-Build Back Better proposal gets, the worse it looks. Let’s start with the obvious: despite its Ministry of Disinformation title, the legislation will not reduce inflation. Analysis from the Penn Wharton Budget Model concludes […]
Love him or hate him, there is no denying that Donald Trump has extraordinary political instincts. For a billionaire real estate developer to win the Oval Office on a campaign of helping out working-class Americans, and to single-handedly realign our two great political parties in the process, was nothing short of astonishing. Which is why, despite his […]
