The nonsense of why Hillary Clinton lost the presidency is going to be repeated over and over. The FBI and the Russians will be the Democratic mantra in the age of Trump, writes David French in NRO. It’s not like the Democrats presented America with a noble public servant, and America chose the dishonest real […]
President Barack Obama–“You’ve Made Enough Money”
Do you remember when Barack Obama went off Teleprompter while giving a speech about the need for Wall Street reform? It was in 2010, in Illinois. We’re not, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. […]
Donald Trump’s Tax Plan–Playing to Win
Democrats have no interest in working with Donald Trump “to harmonize, simplify and reduce” tax rates for corporations as well as individuals. Knowing this, President Trump, understanding that it will take a united GOP to get it passed, is pitching his tax proposal squarely at Republicans. President Trump has “dramatically raised the stakes by laying […]
A Window of Opportunity to Reshape the Tax Code
Like much of the rhetoric from Campaigner Donald Trump, details on President Donald Trump’s tax plan are a bit sparse. The good news is that his tax plan does lean toward the supply-side principles on which he campaigned. And Mr. Trump’s ambitious but necessary economic course would help restore U.S. prosperity, writes the WSJ. Many […]
Healing France–the Sick Man of Europe
François Fillon’s personal scandals are not the only reason he came in third in the first round of France’s presidential voting. Don’t forget, voters rejected the ruling Socialists (Hollande’s party) along with center-right Les Republicains candidate Fillon. Voters also have not forgotten the empty promises and failures of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s six years ago. France […]
Will Macron Transcend France’s Past?
With two-thirds of the French public disapproving of Socialist President François Hollande’s market reforms, M. Hollande has the lowest approval rating of any Western leader since the end of WWII. So how is it, Emmanuel Macron, a former investment banker, economics minister and protégé of Hollande’s, has surged in popularity? Enough so to win, along with […]
Paris−Post Traumatic Shooting/Pre Dramatic Election
On first glance, life in Paris is on the lighter side of normal. But in digging just a little−really only scratching the surface−here’s what we learned the day after Thursday’s shooting (20 April) on Champ Élysées. An under-30 year-old manager of a high profile international (American designer) retail store on Rue Saint-Honoré said business was […]
The Champs-Élysées Shootings–Dick and I Are in Paris
Traveling back yesterday from Beaune to Paris before last night’s shooting on Champs-Élysées, Jerome, the owner of the car service we have used for years (Bourgogne-avec-chauffeur.com) told us how, in his view, French tourism is picking up after being in a slump since Je Suis Charlie. He was confident that powers to be and security […]
Will François Fillon Become the New Margaret Thatcher?
In the 1st round of the French presidential primaries, Prime Minister François Fillon came in #1, with 44% of the vote. Mr. Fillon not only outdistanced the favored former Prime Minister Alain Juppé, but also handily beat his former boss, Nicolas Sarkozy, who finished a distant third. In a runoff, Mr. Fillon defeated the “more […]
United Air and How a Free Market Bestows Real Power to the People
Unless you locked yourself away in your wine cellar since the beginning of this month, you are well aware of the appalling course United Airlines took regarding the removal of a passenger (albeit stubborn and defiant). After Dr. Dao refused to comply with requests/orders from the crew to give up his seat, security guards beat […]
