Conservative New York Post writer John Crudele wrote a column about how upset he was that a gun company dared offer its wares for Christmas. Crudele is conservative, as such things go, in New York City. He is a Donald Trump supporter and has a roughly libertarian philosophy.From nypost.com: I don’t have hard-and-fast rules about many things. I go by the “it is none of my business if it’s not hurting anyone” rule. You might know it as “live and let live.” I suspect John and I would agree on many things. It takes a lot of guts to be...

<p>Late last week, a top FBI lawyer named James Baker was reassigned. The Washington Post said it was part of FBI Director Christopher Wray’s effort to assemble his own team of senior advisers.</p> <p>But there’s probably more to it. The FBI has been accused — correctly, I believe — of partisanship, especially when it came to handling the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails.</p>

Why I finally canceled my New York Times subscription By John Crudele October 12, 2016 | 10:23pm The other day, I canceled my subscription to the New York Times. The paper’s circulation department says I’ve been getting it delivered to my home for 10 years, but I think it has been much longer. [snip] This last example is perhaps the most egregious. Another leaked email from Palmieri on July 8, 2015, is a discussion with John Podesta, the Clinton campaign chairman, and others about a Times story on the costs of some of Hillary’s policies. Palmieri writes: “I wanted to...

I said it a long time ago and I will say it again that I think that Hillary Clinton will be unelectable by Election Day. [Snip] The Democrats made a big mistake when they picked Clinton as their candidate, because too many people knew too much about her. FBI Director James Comey did the Democrats - not the Republicans - a big disservice last summer by not coming down harder on Clinton. If Comey had brought down the hammer, the Dems could have switched candidates. [Snip] If I had to guess, the newest releases will contain Hillary Clinton’s personal stuff....

NBC seems to have gone out of the news business. The network has been remarkably shy about reporting on the massive amount of e-mails being released through WikiLeaks, but more than willing to give time to anyone who says anything bad about Trump. Competitor CBS, on the other hand, seems to be dividing up with time equally into a “Bad Donald, Bad Hillary” segment. NBC, of course, is the network that employs John Harwood, a CNBC correspondent who sent love notes to the Clinton campaign and even generously offered his advice. I hope Harwood was auditioning for a job with...

Dear John: I make approximately $25,000 a year before taxes and I make another $10,000 from rental income. My mortgage is $2,100 a month. I got ObamaCare coverage last year, and I paid approximately $230 a month with some subsidies from New York state.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen made her usual bipolar remarks yesterday in a speech: Last week’s employment report was disappointing... ...Yellen... ...sounded like a politician and basically said nothing. I’m now going to tell you how Yellen’s comments will sound ... YELLEN: “Good afternoon everyone. FYI, this is a freakin’ OMG moment for us at the Fed. President Trump is bustin’ our cajones, and I’m pretty sure it’s because the Fed is being run by a dame. “The economy? I bet you want to know what the economy is doing. I could tell you this and tell you that. But...

Face it, America is hurtling toward third world status, and the signs are all around us, from the growth of a violent underclass to the rise of an oligarchy to a government that lies without shame and re-doubles on those lies when challenged.  One of the other symptoms is the emergence of phony government statistics. John Crudele of the New York Post has broken story after story oin fraud in the Census Bureau’s statistics, which are used for many political and economic purposes, affecting the lives of all Americans. Based on sources throughout the Bureau, he is now charging widespread...

February 14, 2008 -- IF you still don't believe me that the US government has an organization called the Plunge Protection Team that intervenes in the stock market, consider this: * A former Federal Reserve official proposed just such a market-rigging operation decades ago. * US Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, publicly brags that he has revitalized a group that some - including me - thinks is capable of rigging the market. * Paulson has admitted on TV that he regularly discusses financial trouble spots with "market participants," perhaps even at the Wall Street firm he once headed. * A former...

<p>It only took the nation's most prominent business newspaper a decade and a half to figure it out, but the Job Market's Strength May Have Been Overstated.</p> <p>That was the headline the other day in The Wall Street Journal, which considers itself the nation's pre-eminent financial newspaper.</p>

”Booz Allen Hamilton, the consulting firm, reported last week that vehicles using so-called hybrid technology could make up 20 percent of the overall new car market by 2010 and 80 percent by 2015. Washington needs to speed up the transition to this first generation of fuel-efficient cars while we wait for hydrogen vehicles to be perfected. October 19, 2004 -- BOTH President Bush and John Kerry have plans for the U.S. economy. So do I — only mine is better. Kerry wants to raise taxes on the wealthy and magically all our problems will end — until, of course, rich...
