"I am finding this unbelievably troubling. The worst debate I have ever seen. "All of the candidates — except one — is attacking everyone. The VERY BEST Circular Firing Squad trump could hope for... all democratic candidates bloodied. . . . . . "This is sickening, a real slug fest with everyone shouting at the top of their lungs as if the world needed a hearing aid. I almost wish I needed one so I could remove it. If these are the survivors of 9 debates, we're in worse trouble than I thought. . . . . "The goal is...

Trump & the GOP chalk up another great Mid-Term primary election in Alaska & Wyoming. No Democrat "Blue Wave" in either state. Next Tuesday Florida holds its Mid-Term Primary election and, if Rick Scott & Ron DeSantis win the Senator & Governor spots, Florida will turn "Trump Red", big time, and the Democrat "Blue Wave" will be reduced to a trickle. We shall all see next week. Go Trump, Go, Scott, Go, DeSantis, Go, MAGA!!!

So what happened to the non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) job count in December at similar points late in the course of prior cycles? Well, in December 1999 about 140,000 jobs were added and in December 2007 there was a NSA gain of 212,000. This time we got the magnificent sum of 11,000, and by the way, last year was only 6,000. The real news flash in the December “jobs” report, therefore, is that even by the lights of the BLS’ rickety, archaic and virtually worthless establishment survey, the domestic economy is dead in the water. We are not on the verge...

Raymond Chandler once wrote a great passage about drug addicts, but he might as well have been describing politicians, another group of people who rarely know when to quit without intervention. The novelist said addicts at first turn to pills and shots just to get over the humps. Only after a while, he wrote, "It gets to be all humps." It's gotten to be all humps for Hillary Clinton. She never really has an audience anymore. Instead, she's almost always surrounded. That's a bad place for a politician to be at the start of a grueling two-year popularity contest. Back...

Original Title:The Permanent Campaign: Failed President Has Held More Fundraisers Than Previous 5 Presidents Combined Let’s look at the bright side. When he’s out there shaking down his fatcat supporters he’s not actually working, so there’s the chance he’s actually doing less damage. But I guess in keeping with his adoring media we can call this historic and unprecedented. Barack Obama has already held more fundraising events to build cash for his re-election bid than all five Presidents since Richard Nixon combined, according to figures to be published in a new book. Obama is also the only president in the...

A Palin victory will depend on the decisions the voters will make based upon her record in Alaska and the solutions she presents to the problems currently plaguing this country. Once a primary is running full force, most voters don’t remember or give the slightest hoot as to which candidate had jumped in a full year ahead of the game and which candidate is only in the race a half a year or three quarters of a year. Votes based on such calculations are petty, foolish, and therefore probably non-existent. When questioned at exit polls, voters usually point to a...

Democratic voters are finally coming home — but are getting trampled by independents who have decided to move out of the house that Barack Obama built, according to October's IBD/TIPP poll. After months of stories suggesting a GOP wave in November, Democrats are now shaking off their torpor and rallying behind the president and his allies in Congress, the survey found. But independents who joined them to elect Obama in 2008 have soured on Democratic leaders and their policies. Likely voters favor a GOP Congress over a Democratic majority by 48%-43%, the poll found. Self-described independents would prefer Republican rule...

Every time one of the talking heads on the liberal Mainstream media hear a charge of biased reporting, they reply with the typical elitist scoff and utter something banal like "I hear that from both sides so it can't be true." Fact is, according to the latest Rasmussen Poll, most American voters believe that the Mainstream Media is more liberal than they are and two thirds of them feel the media has too much influence over government decisions. They feel that media is trying to make the news not cover it. According to the polls 67% of likely U.S. voters...

Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, said Sunday that the lesson in Obama's rise to the White House is that black people shouldn't limit themselves — or allow others to. Wright had been Obama's longtime pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago before Obama quit the church and ended the relationship with Wright during the presidential campaign. Obama acted after the uproar over some of Wright's videotaped sermons, in which he blamed the U.S. for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, among other things. Two days before Obama takes the oath of office, becoming the nation's...

Higher taxes? Check. Massive new spending? Check. Military cuts? Check. Stimulus czar? Check. Expanded government role in health care? Checkity-check-check-check. And just in time for another global stock slide.

Did presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign plant a fake story accusing itself of campaign finance irregularities, in order to portray itself as victims of right-wing allegations about the campaign’s successful Internet fund-raising? In a July 8 2008-article "Bogus Dowd Column spreads quickly" PolitiFact, a project of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly, reported that blogs and chain e-mails were spreading a Maureen Dowd New York Times column that claims the Obama campaign got suspicious contributions from Iran, Saudi Arabia and China. "But the column is a fake," reports PolitiFact. The New York Times also disowned the...

Investors had driven stocks broadly higher this week on optimism that Democrats...
