Qatar – a country that reaps major fortunes from oil as it shields terrorist “leaders” from hamas (and probably other places as well) has offered President Trump a luxurious airplane to replace the outdated/almost antiquated Air Force One (which is still being used because Boeing is years late in supplying a replacement). Trump says he’d be “a stupid person”...

The April data just came out. And, like it did in March, inflation dropped again. -Inflation was at 2.8% in February when, on February 1, he signed the executive order imposing tariffs. -With those tariffs in place, inflation dropped to 2.4% in April. -And now, after another month of tariffs, it has dropped to 2.3% in May. If this is inflation, I hope it continues throughout the Trump...
David Hogg, who has managed to get more mileage out of accomplishing absolutely nothing than anyone I can think of (other than Greta Thunberg), is now out of a job as DNC Vice Chair. From Victor Nava’s article at the New York Post: The Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel voted Monday to void activist David Hogg’s election as vice chair of the party. Hogg, a survivor of...
I’ve just read maybe a half-dozen articles telling me that the reason the market went up is not because President Trump and President Xi Jinping of China are negotiating, but because Trump caved on tariffs. Reality: this is a NEGOTIATION. It ALWAYS has been a negotiation. Trump staked out a point from which there was no doubt he would depart downward, giving Xi an opportunity to do...
We just got an email from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). This is how it started: Arleen, it’s official: Trump is the least popular president EVER — and even his BIGGEST cheerleaders at Fox News can’t hide his collapse! With cratering poll numbers and the lowest 100-Day mark approval rating of any president in EIGHTY years, it’s...
The progress on a China trade deal is not the only major news from the White House today. President Trump has also told us he is signing an executive order which, assuming it is legal and enforceable (I have my doubts) will require pharmaceutical companies to sell their products at dramatically lower prices in the United States, thus lowering domestic prices by 30% to 80% or more. All the major...
As you are no doubt aware, President Trump is going after some (not all) Ivy League schools (one of which he personally attended, it should be noted) for their overtly discriminatory behavior of recent years. Do these schools deserve the punishment he is meting out? Before answering, you might want to read Betsy McCaughey’s article at hotair.com. Here is how it begins: The Ivy League...
The United States and China met in Switzerland this weekend. It has now been announced that the tariffs each country has imposed on the other have been slashed by more than half. From Nick Edser’s article for the BBC: The US and China have agreed a deal that will significantly cut the import tariffs they have imposed on each other, in a major de-escalation of their trade war. US Treasury...
That title is correct. We’re not talking tariff fall-out, we’re talking tariff fall-in. The latest example? Volkswagen. From Ben Shimkus’s article at London’s Daily Mail, via msn.com: Volkswagen Group, the second largest automaker in the world in 2024, is preparing to join the growing list of automakers looking to rejig its US factories in response to the tariffs. The...
Remember that “floating pier” that then President (at least in name) Joe Biden authorized to send supplies supposedly to the people of Gaza (but, in reality, hamas would take everything it wanted to, use what it needed and sell the rest to its own people at wildly inflated prices)? Well, the Inspector General’s report on this debacle just came out. And here, via Deborah...
On Wednesday, Israel-hating/Jew-hating campus brownshirts, masked as always to hide their identities, materialized on the campus of Columbia University – where they have been more than welcome for well over a year, it should be noted. They took over part of the school’s library, and much of the entrance area, with their hateful signs and pro-hamas, pro-intifada chants, thus disrupting...
…does it actually exist? Or is this an invention of the Israel-hating/Jew-hating crowd? Before you answer, read The Gaza Famine Myth, by Michael Ames, at thefp.com (The Free Press). Here is just one segment: In April 2024, Samantha Power, director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) for the Biden administration, became the first senior U.S. official to...
I just got an email from our local ShopRite supermarket that eggs are down to $2.99 a dozen. I give Donald Trump no credit for the drop in price. But, then again, I also gave him no blame for the higher egg prices that were in place when he took office; the egg prices Democrats immediately blamed him for as if he were responsible for the bird flu which caused those prices to rise. Just about...
Unless Donald Trump is lying to our faces (and we’ll find out before the day is out), the first tariff-generated trade deal is made. From President Trump’s Truth Social website yesterday: “The agreement with the United Kingdom is a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom for many years to come. Because of...
With little if any media fanfare… …today is the 80% anniversary of Germany’s unconditional surrender, effectively ending World War II in Europe (Japan held out until September 2, several weeks after we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki). The official announcement was made May 8 – which is VE (Victory in Europe) day – but the actual surrender was signed on May 7. Moving...
