We know Democrats support "Black Lives Matter." It's all they talk about. While I'm no fan of the Marxist BLM organization, I think all of us can agree that black lives matter. No one wants a single law-abiding, innocent black American to die needlessly. But someone needs to ask puppet President Joe Biden and every Democratic politician in Washington, D.C., a simple question: Do American lives matter? Because, from their actions, it's pretty darn clear that they don't. It seems like they're purposely trying to destroy the lives of American citizens. Who in their right mind would open the borders,...

Joe Biden cares deeply about jobs, just ask him. He speaks constantly about how his administration will create millions of them, he just offers no specifics as to how. Meanwhile, his actions have already cost more than 11,000 jobs. But fear not, recently laid off pipeline builders, Biden has a plan, the Wimpy plan - he’ll gladly hire you Tuesday for ending your job today.“Wimpy” was the character in Popeye, J. Wellington Wimpy, who was always broke and described as “very lazy and gluttonous.” In addition to those charming character traits, Wimpy shares this description with the current President –...

When facing difficult times, the left’s kneejerk response is painfully predictable: spend more money. Joe Biden’s COVID-19 government “stimulus” plan follows suit. It calls for spending $1.9 trillion on liberal priorities like bailing out irresponsible states and cities, and expands an unemployment insurance program that subsidizes welfare over work.The plan calls for spending $1.9 trillion, even though Washington has already spent $4 trillion in COVID-19 relief which has gone toward the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for small businesses, provided unemployment insurance during the worst of the crisis, funding for hospitals, and vaccine distribution. Biden is calling for this new spending...

Over the past 10 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely hampered what was previously a period of record economic growth in the United States. Tens of millions of Americans lost their jobs as businesses were closed to slow the spread of the virus. And, while the economy continues to recover, unemployment is still nearly double what it was this time last year.Along with the economic impacts, COVID-19 has also slowed the overall pace of immigration into the United States. In January of 2020, the federal government declared the novel coronavirus to be a public health emergency and restricted travel from...

The Trump campaign is celebrating a massive 33.1 percent increase in growth domestic product for the third quarter and warning former Vice President Joe Biden will put a halt to economic progress. “This record economic growth is absolute validation of President Trump’s policies which create jobs and opportunities for Americans in every corner of the country. The President built the world’s best economy once and he’s rapidly doing it again, proving that cutting taxes and reducing regulations and red tape clear the way for American ingenuity and our entrepreneurial spirit to thrive. We have regained more than half of the...

I'm not going to say, "At least one positive thing has come out of the coronavirus pandemic." Because there's nothing positive to say about a tragic, deadly health crisis and economic catastrophe like this. There is no "bright side." But we did learn something important. Obama lied. Again. Barack Obama was the biggest liar in the history of the U.S. presidency. First, he lied about transparency. His administration was the most corrupt and secretive in history. See Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails. See Anthony Weiner's laptop. See the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to spy on Donald Trump and his...

Despite recent stock market jitters related to the coronavirus, the U.S. economy is doing well. Wages are growing, especially for lower-income workers, and unemployment is low. Yet calls are intensifying for the federal government to implement paid leave, which may unwittingly hurt those whom the program claims to help. Supporters often resort to the same misleading notions to make their case -- misperceptions that must be continuously debunked, lest they lead to unnecessary harm to working families. Among the most common claims used to make the case for government provision of paid leave is that not every working woman gets...

By all accounts, the low-tax, light-touch regulatory environment produced by Congress and the Trump administration has done wonders for America as we enter election year 2020. In the latest jobs report, 321,000 new jobs were added to the economy. The unemployment rate currently sits at a healthy 3.5 percent; down two full points from when President Obama left office just three years ago. The American economy is without a doubt going strong. Still, some say that America’s best times may soon be in the rear-view mirror. While it would be understandable if in 2020 the U.S. is not able to...

At the December Democratic debate, when asked to comment regarding several dire economic forecasts evaluating her proposed wealth tax on the economy, Senator Warren responded: “oh – they’re just wrong.” That response elicited applause from the audience and zero follow-up questions. Shame on both the audience and the moderators. Just glib is not good enough. In an 1819 Supreme Court Case, the Supreme Court (McCollough v Maryland) correctly noted that “the power to tax is the power to destroy.” While this case was directed at taxes imposed by a state, it is a comment worth remembering. Senator Warren’s wealth tax...

These days, when you listen to the gloom of the media and many of the presidential candidates, you have to wonder what country these Debbie Downers are talking about. Former Vice President Joe Biden recently declared, "The middle class is getting crushed. And the working class has no way up." Sen. Bernie Sanders stews that President Donald Trump's policies have brought "handouts for billionaires and hunger for the poor." Mayor Pete Buttigieg claims that many working families are struggling so much financially they don't have enough income to be able to "afford a two-bedroom apartment." The Washington Post says that...

What cities are best positioned to grow and prosper in the coming decade? To determine the next boom towns in the U.S., Forbes, with the help of Mark Schill at the Praxis Strategy Group, took the 52 largest metro areas in the country (those with populations exceeding 1 million) and ranked them based on various data indicating past, present and future vitality. We started with job growth, not only looking at performance over the past decade but also focusing on growth in the past two years, to account for the possible long-term effects of the Great Recession. That accounted for...

<p>Recently, I have been making my own scholarly contribution to political scientists' understanding of the 2004 election by identifying a rising new constituency within the electorate, the moron vote.</p>
<p>Those who compose it are the angry, the fearful and the unaccountably neurotic. When they beheld Dr. Howard Dean hollering in public about how very angry he was, they thought of Abraham Lincoln. Now they behold Sen. John Pierre Kerry boasting of all the hair he has on his chest, the medals on his wall and his grim plans for President George W. Bush and they think of John F. Kennedy or maybe Robespierre — Mr. Kerry is still very French-looking, n'est-ce pas?</p>
