House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) larded up (and stalled) the $2 trillion stimulus bill with a shameful Democrat wish-list heavy on identity politics and climate change. As loathsome as her tactics, her instincts are correct: We should not allow this crisis to go to waste. But rather than demanding diversity on corporate boards, or new […]
Nancy Pelosi has made another major blunder. On the cusp of the Senate achieving a gigantic bipartisan deal to stave off a deep recession, the House speaker unexpectedly tossed in a roadblock, throwing the country and financial markets into a tailspin. Pelosi lobbed her own counterproposal into the frantic negotiations, derailing an […]
Poor Joe Biden. Forget about love; the poor guy isn’t even getting much attention. It’s tough to score headlines when you are self-quarantining at home in Delaware, even if you are the presumptive Democratic candidate for president. Though many might consider this a blessing in disguise for the oft-addled candidate, apparently Biden […]
Even Elon Musk wants to help out. Yes, the Bad Boy Billionaire of the auto industry, who earlier had described “panic” over the coronavirus as “dumb,” has volunteered to make ventilators, in the event of an anticipated shortage. Twitterdom was ecstatic. One commentator raved, “You have the chance to be a hero and save many lives…Go […]
The coronavirus is a tragedy. So is the response from opponents of President Trump. At a time when our leaders should come together and try to calm a frightened nation, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., are putting politics above country. Hatred is a two-way street. As […]
Americans have gone nuts. The level of panic in our country is extraordinary — people hoarding toilet paper, hiding out in their homes, ditching travel plans, stockpiling tuna fish, keeping kids out of school, cancelling hair appointments. (Is nothing sacrosanct?) If you are over 70, or if your health is impaired in some way — […]
Ronald Reagan said: “When you’re explaining, you’re losing.” By that standard, even as he’s winning in the primary battle (odds-makers give him a 73 percent chance of winning against Bernie Sanders), Joe Biden is doing a whole lot of losing. The former vice president and his team are working overtime to explain that Biden is not suffering […]
Who won on Super Tuesday? Clearly, it was Donald Trump. First, let us be clear: Joe Biden did not win on that big primary day; the Democratic establishment did. It is true that the former vice president outperformed expectations and prevented Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) from rolling up a quick trip to the nomination. But the main reason for […]
The results from Super Tuesday are in. Here’s what they tell us: 1) The primary contest is a two-horse race: former Vice President Joe Biden versus Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. 2) Americans are not ready for a revolution, and they don’t like Fidel Castro. But, Sanders is not going away. 3) The Democratic establishment is so […]
The coronavirus plunged a knife in the heart of our raging bull market last week. So did Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. That’s what some top investors are saying, suggesting the stock sell-off reflected anxieties about the spreading disease, to be sure, but also real alarm that the socialist ideologue could actually become our next president. That possible outcome to the chaotic Democratic […]
