Joe Biden loves to give away money, especially if it’s not his own. He has spent trillions of dollars for political benefit that didn’t need otherwise to be spent. The recipients laud his compassion and generosity. Common Americans though are trapped in an inflationary spiral while our grandchildren face an unpayable bill. Thus, in a recent presentation about his second attempt to forgive student loan debt, he bragged about the hundreds of billions it would cost. He twice mentioned the fact that many blacks would receive benefits. He became so consumed in self-congratulation, he apparently lost awareness of how blatant was his political pandering. We know black voters are a key demographic in play in the upcoming election.

Housing inflation refuses to cool for the eighth month, and five of the remaining seven core services accelerated further. This is not good.

If the economy is so good, why do small business leaders feel so bad? The latest Small Business Optimism Index from the National Federation of Independent Business could hardly be more depressing. The survey finds that the men and women who run our 33 million small businesses and hire more than half of American workers are in […]

The global warming crowd would like nothing better than to convince you that we are in a climate crisis and that they need to grab COVID-like emergency powers to dictate how you live your life. If it were not for the sinister nature of the movement, which wishes to control everything from the way we cook, drive, eat, our power sources, and the like, it would be amusing that they think their efforts to curtail C02, amidst all the other independent variables that are completely out of their control, can create what they imagine as the perfect climate. They will fail to meaningfully change the climate but they may well succeed in taking our freedom, destroying all economic prosperity and impoverishing Americans.

The last few years can be tracked at two levels: the physical reality around us and the realm of the intellectual, mental, and psychological.

The Federal Reserve is an unelected board of bureaucratic experts that holds great sway over the US economy, the world economy, and the standard of living of the people of the United States.

Editors’ Note: Democrats cast themselves as the party of “women’s rights”, while they actually are the party of unrestricted abortion to be paid for with public money.
