The U.S. Returns to ”America Last” Foreign Policy

By

We are returning to the Obama-Biden era “America Last” foreign policy in which the interests of multilateral institutions and international partnerships are more important than the interests of the American people. As the G7 summit comes to a close, Joe Biden boasted that America is “back at the table,” and described the summit as “extraordinarily […]

Why Higher Labor Costs Are Bad News for Consumers

By

What’s in a name? Call it what you will, it still smells like inflation. The good news for workers? They are being paid more to join the U.S. labor force. The not-so-good news?

Dr. Fauci alerted America to “impending doom,” and Joe Biden accused governors lifting mask mandates of “Neanderthal thinking.” Suddenly everything has […]

Biden: No Evidence of Being Paid Not to Work

By

Dick and I are not sure what Mr. Biden is talking about, because our experience sure was different on our nine-day Key West to Newport, RI road trip.

Joe Biden – Along for the Ride

By

Who is setting the agenda today? It’s not Joe Biden, warns the WSJ. (Biden’s) the ideal political front man for this agenda with his talk of “unity” and anti-Trump persona, but he isn’t shaping legislation. He is signing on to whatever chief of staff Ron Klain tells him he needs to support. 9% of $1.9 […]
