“If you want to be president, you have to know why the heck you are running,” said former president Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton was discussing his time in office and what it takes to become president at the George W. Bush Presidential Center. I think you have to begin with the end in mind. Yeah, […]
Republican Leadership Addicted to Perpetual War?
My friend Jon Basil Utley, publisher of The American Conservative, lists six positive policies that Donald Trump could, in fact, create against perpetual war. Jon explains: For all one’s doubts about Trump, his main appeal is that of restraining Washington’s war machine. As my friend Ron Maxwell, producer of two great war movies, writes, “Trump may […]
Happy Post Independence Day, America
In a U.S. presidential election, there is never a perfect candidate. Our nose-holding options last November were candidates A or B, both deeply flawed. Regardless of what you think of our 45th president, however, Francis Menton has a patriotic thought: Thank God We Finally Got Rid of Obama. After eight years of President Obama and […]
Democrats Responsible for Hillary’s Thumping
Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser—words often attributed to Notre Dame football coach and legend Knute Rockne.

Mrs. […]
The Nonsense on Why Hillary Lost
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.

I have regularly explained, in my monthly investment strategy reports that the U.S. economy has been on the last legs of an economic recovery for many months. The single reason that the historically weak recovery lasted as long as it did was a robbing of Peter to pay Paul, a distorted interest rate structure created by […]
“Hashtag He’s Your President”
More sour grapes this week in Cambridge, MA as political advisers feel they got Trumped.

The Washington Post reports: […]
