Trump’s trade war with China, blasted by pundits and economists, is not rattling investors. That was the message from traders Tuesday, who sent stock averages soaring in the face of the latest round of American tariffs on Chinese imports and Beijing’s retaliatory response. How can that be? How could stocks go up in the face […]
It is clear that Democrats in the Senate are prepared to do whatever it takes to block Judge Brett Kavanaugh from becoming an associate justice on the Supreme Court. Now the Democrats are trying a new the 11th hour ploy to derail Kavanaugh’s nomination. They called Tuesday for an FBI investigation of […]
Republicans running for office need to man up. If they can’t win elections in the midst of an authentic economic boom, shame on them. Especially when Democrats are showcasing a bunch of wild-eyed progressives intent on Making America Lame Again. With less than 60 days to go before the midterm elections, polling […]

Here’s my bet: I imagine the author of the […]
