Is the liberal media bad-mouthing the U.S. economy? It seems that way. The potential impact of President Trump’s tariffs, rising interest rates and slowing growth overseas have consumed headlines, while dropping stock and oil prices have been cast as predicting a slowdown or even a recession right around the corner. Those concerns are valid, […]
Hillary Clinton has stepped in it again. Just recently she told an interviewer with The Guardian that European leaders must stop offering “refuge and hope” to migrants if they want to slow the spread of right-wing populism. She urged them to “send a very clear message – ‘we are not going to […]
New York Senator Chuck Schumer tweeted last week: “We have tremendous unity in our caucus. That unity has been our strength, and it will continue to be as strong as ever in the 116th Congress.” Mr. Schumer knows better. Democrats are not unified at all, as the skirmishes over leadership positions in […]
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell spoke in Dallas recently, and for the first time, seemed to suggest some flexibility in the speed with which the central bank is raising interest rates. In his remarks, he linked rate hikes with some signs of slowing growth; some have interpreted his comments as opening the door to a […]
To impeach or not to impeach? That is the choice before Nancy Pelosi as she strategizes over how best to position Democrats for 2020 and as she fends off yet another challenge to her leadership in the House. To date, nine Democrats in Congress have openly opposed Mrs. Pelosi’s bid to regain […]
A ‘Blue Wave’ it wasn’t; a blue ripple, at most. Despite spending over one billion dollars, more money than ever before for a midterm election, and even though they were confident of crushing a historically unpopular president, Democrats appear to have mustered only a slim majority in the House, while not even […]
Democrats campaigned on providing a check on President Trump. Now in control of the House of Representatives, they won that, but a still-Republican Senate will also provide a check on Democrats. Corporate America dodged a bullet. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) regaining the speaker’s gavel (as she almost surely will) will likely mean legislative gridlock, but […]
The midterm elections are on Tuesday, and no one truthfully has a clue how they will turn out. The consensus is that Democrats will take the House and the GOP will keep the majority in the Senate, but with so many races within the margin of error, predictions are being dished out […]
Here’s what Democrats don’t get about the jobs number: 250,000 jobs added in October is not just a statistic, it’s about real people. It’s about people whose lives are getting better and who are more upbeat about their future. It reflects greater economic security, the possibility of planning for the future and the ability to […]
How bad would it be if Democrats take back the House of Representatives? Imagine Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, Maxine Waters as head of Financial Services and Adam Schiff running the House Intelligence Committee, all clinging to their life-raft of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. A more ferociously partisan and dishonest leadership group is […]
