The world’s only one man media empire
As a general rule, at least some policies are going to have a neutral impact if only because they are ineffective, not everything is going to be illegal or unconstitutional, and the worst possible political and other outcome isn’t going to happen in every situation. While it’s traditional for the opposition party to oppose, I… Continue reading The Orange Man Bad Theory of Everything
Partisans can and will spin any argument they want, but the question is which ones the people in the middle actually respond to and the Republicans currently lead Democrats on the vast majority of issues. While it has long been said conservatives and progressives live in two different worlds, the real question is which reality… Continue reading Progressives’ delusions are increasingly at odds with voters’ reality
Though the President himself warned there would be short term disruption, it doesn’t matter who or what is to blame. It could be tariffs, it could be Trump, it could be that the job fairy is taking a vacation, or a mass delusion that the economy is worse than it is, numbers like this can’t… Continue reading Trump and some hard truths about the piss poor jobs report
A trade deal with China, a lower than expected inflation number, and a higher than expected jobs report suggest the experts were wrong once again. As even The New York Times put it recently, “Recession Warnings Are Everywhere, Except in the Data.” Earlier this year, I opined that President Donald Trump’s critics were living in… Continue reading The trade war that didn’t happen has delayed the apocalypse
Why is Jerome Powell talking about keeping interest rates high in the face of a potentially slowing economy when he’s spent the last three years trying to slow the economy to fight inflation? “We may find ourselves in the challenging scenario in which our dual-mandate goals are in tension,” Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said… Continue reading The Federal Reserve is a fraud that doesn’t seem to know what inflation actually is

Last week, the price of eggs made headlines once again when a report found they broke another record in March, contrary to… Continue reading Only one thing is certain, the media and the experts will keep lying to you repeatedly about the state of the economy and everything else
Though it’s traditional that an incoming President has six months if not a full year before the economy can be considered their responsibility, Trump was barely provided a week and even worse, some claim he should be held accountable for what hasn’t happened yet and might never happen. The criticisms of President Donald Trump are… Continue reading Trump’s critics are livin’ in the future on tariffs and everything else, imagining calamities that haven’t happened yet and might never
President Trump has an opportunity to deliver on his promises that he didn’t have in 2016. The world is watching and more people than ever, from average Americans to world leaders and business tycoons, are rooting for him. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. The old expression appears to capture a willingness to embrace… Continue reading Trump’s victory has completely shifted the political and cultural landscape, making him more popular than ever
Fortunately for former President Donald Trump and his supporters, Presidential Debates are not won on points, indeed they aren’t really won or lost at all given the only score that matters is the final tally on election day itself. If Presidential Debates were scored by collegiate rules, Vice President Harris won Tuesday’s contest against Donald… Continue reading A debate in the eye of the beholder
Much has been made of President Biden’s poor performance, but much less of President Trump’s strong one. Trump’s refusal to give any ground whatsoever on any issue whatsoever set the stage of the meltdown we all witnessed. Let me start by saying two things. First, Presidential debates are not scored by Harvard rules. There is… Continue reading Dissecting Trump’s highly underrated debate performance
