The Turk's a jerk.Get rid of him.President Donald John Trump's endorsement of Dr. Mehmet Oz was a bewildering move that now is a national security threat. No one less than Mike Pompeo said so, and with good reason because Oz voted in the last election in Turkey!Pompeo told reporters, "Maybe it’s all innocent, [or] maybe it’s all straight up, but we and the people of Pennsylvania and the Americans who he will be representing as one of the 100 members of the United States Senate voting on important national security matters need to understand the scope and depth of his...

Former President Donald Trump chastised Pennsylvania Republican Senate contender David McCormick over his ties to China and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Friday. Standing in the rain at a rally in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, to bolster TV celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is locked in a tight race with McCormick, the former president panned McCormick for not being "MAGA" enough.

Ray Dalio's Bridgewater Associates is doing far better in China than in the rest of the world.The $148 billion money manager raised about 900 million yuan ($136 million) for its second China fund in September, doubling assets, according to people familiar with the matter. Investors were partly drawn to its All Weather China strategy fund that boasted an annualized return of about 22% for the 22 months from inception to the end of July they said, declining to be identified discussing private matters.While the size of the onshore business remains tiny, the latest fundraising lifted assets under management to about...

Speaking on the ongoing and increasingly hostile trade war between the world’s two largest economies, McCormick, a former U.S. Treasury undersecretary for international affairs under George W. Bush, warned that both the U.S. and China have “a lot of incentives” to reach a reasonable trade deal, but the latest developments in the negotiation are pushing things in the wrong...

EXCLUSIVE - Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas will team up on Thursday and Friday with Dave McCormick, one of the front-runners in Pennsylvania’s crowded, combustible, and expensive GOP Senate primary. [cut] Cruz’s two days of campaigning with McCormick will come just ahead of Pennsylvania’s May 17 primary, and it also comes less than a week after former President Donald Trump headlined a rally in western Pennsylvania with McCormick’s rival for the nomination, Mehmet Oz, whom Trump endorsed just a couple of weeks ago.

At Bloomberg’s “The Year Ahead” summit, CEO David McCormick considers the persistent challenges America will face even after a recovery from the pandemic — rising inequality and competition for global leadership — while emphasizing how uncertainty in global markets and economies will force investors and policymakers to prepare for a wide range of potential outcomes.

Trump painted McCormick as a “liberal Wall Street Republican” during Friday night’s rally and mentioned that the businessman “fought hard” for his endorsement. (snip) Trump then attacked McCormick for his comments about Trump’s involvement in the January 6 Capitol riots, in which he said Trump “has some responsibility, a lot of responsibility.” “David came out very strongly against me on numerous occasions. This was before he was going to run all of a sudden, he said, ‘Boy, I like this guy a lot.’ Including with respect to the disinformation spread about January 6, total disinformation,” Trump said. Trump added McCormick...

Well-known Hollywood Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is running for a Pennsylvania Senate seat, has come under fire in a number of Republican and conservative circles for his seemingly long and documented history with communist China, even though he’s running a “tough-on-China” campaign.According to Breitbart, Dr. Oz has ironically launched attacks on his GOP challenger, David McCormick, for his alleged China ties, while at the same time the doctor’s opponents dig up a growing history he allegedly has with China.As with any backstory of a potential political scandal, it’s all about the money.Breibart noted: “The celebrity doctor’s most recent connection to...

Pro-China Dave McCormick currently holds a narrow lead in the polls for the open U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania. This primary is on May 17, and it is pivotal both for retaking GOP control of the Senate and for winning that state’s 19 electoral votes in 2024. McCormick, a former Jeb Bush supporter who made his fortune running a Connecticut-based hedge fund, has already spent millions to attain 21% support in the fractured race. He even hired several of President Trump’s former White House aides in an effort to bolster his support in the state he left behind as a...

Recently, Republican U.S. Senate hopeful David McCormick earned a vote of confidence from one of the country’s most influential conservatives. During an appearance on his nationally syndicated radio program on Friday, Mark Levin, who describes himself as a Pennsylvania native, told McCormick he would make “an excellent senator.” “Well, let me just say this, you know, I’m an old Pennsylvanian, but I don’t live there right now,” Levin said. “And I still love that state. I loved going back to that state as a kid. I used to go to Independence Hall all the time, went to Penn State one...

The reaction by some to Donald Trump’s endorsement of Dr. Mehmet Oz in the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania seems a bit over the top. I mean, I get it on some levels: Oz isn’t great on the issues, isn’t a conservative rockstar (as if Pennsylvania produces any), and is an unknown commodity in electoral politics (see Trump, Donald J., circa 2015). But everyone needs to take a deep breath and understand that Oz is 10 times better than former hedgefund CEO Dave McCormick. And in Trump’s mind, maybe 50 times better.
