The Anti-Trump Drumbeat Gets Louder As the Media Sets Its Sights on Kushner
The savage reporting on Jared Kushner’s attempt to establish “backchannel” relations with Moscow is so vitriolic that any remaining credibility in the media is melting away like a popsicle in July. For Americans who spent Memorial Day Weekend honoring our fallen heroes and who may be confused by the torrent of speculation and innuendo again […]
How Trump Really Could Make a Difference in the Middle East
Two presidents, two trips to the Middle East in their first year in office. That is where the similarities end. I was in Cairo for President Obama’s much-celebrated speech in 2009 as a guest of Shafik Gabr, Chairman of Egypt’s Artoc Group for Investments and Development. Mr. Gabr has spent a small fortune and a […]
Trump under attack (from all sides)—that swamp is deep, America
We should have seen it coming. You don’t threaten to Drain the Swamp! without awakening some pretty surly bottom feeders. It is clear that the political establishment simply hates President Trump. That goes for Republicans almost as much as Democrats. From Day One various pols on the right have been quick to jump on the […]
Health care bill passes in House, Trump and GOP finally come together
GOP members of the House finally climbed aboard the Trump Train. It’s about time. Putting aside their posturing and pontificating, Republicans at long last produced a win for the Trump White House and for Americans, passing a bill to replace ObamaCare. This was a central promise of the past several years; they needed to get […]
Democrats, Now the Party of No, Stonewall Trump at Their Peril
Why won’t the White House publish its visitor logs? Because any Democrat or business executive who meets with President Trump will be attacked on social media for “collaborating” with the enemy. (Disney CEO Bob Iger, who was blasted for participating in a Trump advisory council, is a great example.) As a result, Team Trump has […]
Here’s Why Trump Should Forget the Wall and Push for E-Verify
Trump has put a conservative on the Supreme Court and has started to roll back excessive regulations, but he has not yet been able to keep some promises – like immediately dumping Obamacare, for instance. Nonetheless, polls show that “the 45th president’s electoral coalition remains intact,” as The Washington Post reported recently. Will that still be […]
Four Reasons Trump’s Promise of Tax Reform Is Fading Fast
Investors beware: there are four reasons (at least) why tax reform may not happen this year. Democrats have been told it’s “us vs. them” and to obstruct any and all Republican initiatives. There is only one individual in the White House with any tax policy credentials, but there are many loud voices. The failure to […]
Susan Rice caught ‘unmasking’ Trump aides as Democrats, liberal media do backflips to divert attention
Enough with the smokescreens! Democrats, aided and abetted by their friends in the media, have long dismissed President Trump’s charges that he was “wiretapped” by former President Obama, even as evidence mounts that indeed surveillance of the Trump camp took place, and that information collected by so-called “incidental” monitoring was illegally leaked to the public. […]
Tax Reform: A Must Win for Trump and the Republican Party
The knives are out for Paul Ryan. To survive, the House Speaker must produce a win on tax reform. That will not be easy because the obstructionist Freedom Caucus could once again join Democrats to defeat this next major White House initiative. While Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer will bleat about handouts to billionaires, the intransigents […]
