Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley warns: “A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris”, suggesting that reelecting the aged and addled president would almost certainly vault the vice president into the Oval Office within the next four years. The alarm from the GOP candidate is resonating; just about nobody wants Harris to be […]
President Biden’s White House is hounding Elon Musk. It’s ironic, since two of the president’s biggest initiatives would have foundered but for the mercurial multi-billionaire. Mr. Biden’s Green Dream would be nowhere without Tesla, which put electric vehicles on the map, and without Mr. Musk’s Starlink, Ukraine might already have succumbed to Vladimir Putin’s Russia. […]
Joe Biden was the real winner of this week’s GOP debate. While most of the post-debate commentary has focused on which Republicans outperformed expectations and who fell short, there has been little notice of the glaring omission in the two-hour confrontation: a tough critique of Joe Biden’s presidency. Sure, Ron DeSantis and others took a couple of swipes at […]
The person who most enjoyed the first Republican debate was undoubtedly former President Donald Trump. By not participating in the forum, he stayed above the fray, and what a fray it was. The night was full of acrimony and sloppiness; verbal punches were thrown but few landed. Humor and humility took the night off. The eight […]
Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley is going after Vivek Ramaswamy. She’ll have plenty of company Wednesday night; Ramaswamy is surging in the polls making him, like Ron DeSantis, an obvious target at the GOP debate. My guess: Ramaswamy will hold his own and then some. Why? Because Ramaswamy is super smart and is talking common sense. […]
President Biden brandished a brand-new claim in his recent talk about the wonders of the Inflation Reduction Act: “Now, one reason we’ve seen inflation fall by two thirds without losing jobs is corporate profits are coming back down to earth. The excesses are being eliminated by the corporations.” In other words, “excess” company profits are dropping, and that […]
If Joe Biden is not the Democratic presidential candidate in 2024, will former first lady Michelle Obama take his place? Some are betting that if the president is driven out of the race next year by corruption allegations, increasing signs of mental impairment and terrible approval ratings, only the former first lady has the name recognition and […]
Peter Baker, White House correspondent for the New York Times, appears genuinely puzzled that President Biden’s approval ratings are not higher. He writes recently that many things are heading in the right direction: “Inflation at long last is down. So are gas prices and Covid deaths and violent crime and illegal immigration. Unemployment remains near record lows. The economy, meanwhile, is growing, wages are climbing, consumer confidence is rising and the stock […]
What a mess. The United States of America, the greatest country in the world, looks set to field one candidate for president in 2024 who faces possible impeachment and is trying to put his opponent in jail and another who has now been indicted by three different prosecutors and who continues to deny the results of the […]
Fitch Ratings just delivered a welcome and long overdue comeuppance to President Joe Biden and his Democratic colleagues. They are not taking it well. The ratings agency surprised investors by downgrading U.S. long-term debt one notch from AAA to AA+, citing “expected fiscal deterioration over the next three years, a high and growing general government debt burden, […]
