Environmentalists are terrified. Not that polar bears will soon go the way of the dodo or that melting ice caps will submerge Iceland in the near future (or is it Greenland?). No, the green lobby is very, very concerned that the energy shortage sweeping the globe might cause public officials to think twice before chucking […]
President Joe Biden desperately needs a win. He has spent hours trying to jawbone Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., into supporting his $3.5 trillion “social infrastructure” bill. Why hasn’t he hauled progressive lawmakers into the Oval Office as well? Why not sit down with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the head of the uber-liberal […]
We have exactly one serious economic problem in this country today: not enough Americans are working. President Biden’s vaccine mandate is making the problem worse. A shortage of labor is disrupting supply chains and boosting inflation, which is eating into middle class paychecks and undermining seniors’ retirement. Rising prices are one reason consumer confidence has […]
Americans no longer believe in Joe Biden. In the latest Economist/YouGov poll, only 40% consider the president honest; 43% consider Biden “not honest or trustworthy” and 17% are not sure. That’s down from 48% considering the president honest and only 38% thinking otherwise in February. No wonder he’s struggling to get his agenda passed. The […]
The Biden White House is in free fall. The president’s approval ratings continue to slide and will likely get worse as Americans digest the disasters of recent days and put the blame squarely where it belongs – on Joe Biden. When we piece together the killing of innocents in Afghanistan, the tens of thousands of unvaccinated Haitians […]
Investors finally got a glimpse of how Democrats intend to pay for their $3.5 trillion spending spree. It did not go well; the Dow sank almost 300 points, despite a slightly better than expected inflation reading. Who can be surprised? When you snatch more than $2 trillion away from job creators and investors for the […]
The mood of the nation is dark. You can see it in the University of Michigan consumer confidence index, which plunged to 70.3 in August, down 11.0 points from July. That’s down to levels not seen since the Great Recession. The gloom is apparent in retail sales, which slid more than one percent in July […]
Are Democrats serious about confronting the impending collapse of Social Security and Medicare? It sure doesn’t seem so. Instead of focusing on the looming bankruptcy of these programs, Democrats are pushing to spend $4-$5 trillion on a progressive wish-list of expensive new federal giveaways. Perhaps they believe that promising voters free college, free child care, […]
Donald Trump first met Xi Jinping in 2017 at his Palm Beach Club Mar-a-Lago, where the president and first lady Melania entertained China’s president and his wife at an elegant dinner. Over what Trump described as a “beautiful piece of chocolate cake,” he informed Xi that U.S. military forces had just sent 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles […]
Prices are rising at the highest rate in 30 years. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is intent on ramming through a $3.5 trillion spending bill that will make inflation worse by pumping up already red-hot demand and creating even more reasons for America’s workers to sit on the sidelines. It is a shameful legacy grab […]
