I generally have been supportive of President Trump’s economic policies. His tax cuts and regulation reductions have been crucial in sustaining prosperity. But he has made a couple of mistakes I have been meaning to write about. With the virus infecting the world, now is a good time.
It isn’t only Crooked Hillary, but the Crooked Democratic National Committee. Once again they cheated Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of her rightful place in the debates. Earlier, they changed the rules so Michael Bloomberg could enter the debates even though he didn’t have any donors except himself. They just changed the rules again. “Under the new requirements, candidates must have at least 20% of the total number of pledged delegates, a requirement only Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have met,” reported CBS News. “The previous rules only required candidates to secure one delegate, which Gabbard did in American Samoa.” CNN then...
As the “Mike Will Get It Done” campaign smashes on the shoals of Super Tuesday, especially California, it’s worth looking at what blowing $500 million didn’t achieve. First, Bloomberg said, “California can serve as a great example for the rest of this country.” Maybe if you’re a billionaire who can fly above the Pyrite State in helicopters and private jets between exclusive homes, hotels and office buildings. While dining on the world’s finest cuisine – at least in restaurants that haven’t closed from the state’s insanity of adopting just the policies, such as a $15 minimum wage, Bloomie and the...
Propelled by his victory in Saturday’s Nevada Caucuses and previous combats, Bernie Sanders looks to be the Democrats’ nominee in 2020. He presents himself as a “progressive” bringing us the wave of the future, “democratic socialism.” His slogan: “Not me. Us” (emphasis in original). But when I hear him talk, I hear the Marxists I used to debate in the 1970s at the University of Michigan. Listen for when he screams against “the billionaire class,” as he did in the Eighth Debate from New Hampshire: “The way you bring people together is by presenting an agenda that works for the...
By far the most important political development of recent weeks was not the impeachment farce, but Trump headlining the annual March for Life rally in D.C. – the first sitting president to do so. It’s worth watching all 16 minutes of it, or reading the transcript at the same link. Since the unconstitutional and unconscionable Roe v. Wade edict in 1973, the March has been avoided even by Republicans Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II, all at least officially pro-life. Might Nixon have escaped Watergate and remained in office, or Ford have beaten Carter in 1976, if they...
In politics, there’s nothing more fun than seeing two of your opponents tear one another apart. So I hope you’re enjoying the war between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Mike Bloomberg is pushing a campaign slogan, “Mike Can Do It,” which ripped off Jeb! Bush’s “Jeb Can Fix It” from four years ago. And Bloomberg is pushing “I Like Mike,” which rips off “I Like Ike” from Eisenhower’s 1952 and 1956 campaigns.
Trump campaigned on ending the “regime change wars,” as Tulsi Gabbard calls them, and getting us out of the Middle East. We don’t have enough ground troops for an invasion. The rumors of bringing back the draft are just that. But the Iranians know Trump could destroy their oil refineries and devastate their economy even more than his sanctions already have.
What a year! It ended with something amazing. We saw right in front of us a word change meaning within hours. On the morning of December 18, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted, “The impeachment of a president is a solemn and serious moment for our country.” Just a few hours later, when the House actually “impeached” President Trump, the word was twisted to also mean: a seemingly serious action, but really a joke, as in my headline to this article.
It was strange timing for the Christianity Today editorial, “Trump Should Be Removed from Office.” It came out just after he was impeached and a week before Christmas, but what no looks like weeks or months before the Senate votes on it.
