The Immoral Economy of the Left

By Rabbi D.B. Ganz

Is it true that charity by government is highly ethical, as Bernie Sanders alleges? As an Orthodox Rabbi with years of Talmud study under my belt, I feel that a Sanders style economy would in truth be very immoral. Facts speak for themselves. After decades of economic ruin, these same Sanders ideas were rejected by hundreds of millions of Chinese, Russians and Eastern Europeans. The world’s three remaining “moral economies” (Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea) are horribly poor and brutal police states where the disparity between rich and poor is infinitely greater than in the West. The choice of many young voters would be Bernie Sanders who has positioned himself as the champion of the underprivileged. By “moral,” he means, free college tuition and health care for all, massive government job works for the employed, and a 90 percent tax on the wealthy to correct the disparity between the haves and have nots.

Free Trade vs. Protectionism

By Crista Huff

In the context of the debate between those for and against the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, pro-TPP factions like to portray TPP opponents as being “protectionist.” That’s a calculated slander, similar to when Tea Party and GOP activists are labeled “racist,” in an attempt to get opponents to back down and shut up. [more...]

Democrats Allow Voting by Felons to Help Hillary Clinton

By Wayne Allyn Root

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe just gave voting rights to 200,000 felons in Virginia. McAuliffe is a lifelong friend of the Clintons. This wasn’t subtle. There was no attempt to hide or disguise what just happened. This is clearly his gift to his close friend Hillary. McAuliffe just added 200,000 low-lifes and dirt-bags to the voter rolls in Virginia to try to steal the election for his buddy Hillary. Funny how these things work when you’re tone deaf to what this looks like to good, hard-working, law-abiding, taxpaying Americans. [more...]

After Mass Murder Sheriff Tells Residents to Arm Themselves

By Joe Messina

Following the mass murder of seven adults and one teen, Pikes County Sheriff Charles Reader encouraged the community he serves to arm themselves if they felt fearful. The news outlet seemed to indicate that the murders could be tied to Mexican drug cartels, though the Sheriff’s office did not specifically say that. In response to the murders, Reader told the citizens he serves that if they were fearful, they should arm themselves: “I can tell you if you are fearful, arm yourself. If you feel that you need to protect yourself or your family, do so, and contact the local law enforcement to come and respond to it.” This is good advice. In fact, these kinds of comments are becoming more commonplace with police chiefs and sheriffs across the country. [more...]

Three Reasons We Don’t Need to Fear China

By Daniel R. Joseph

Given events between China and the U.S. over the last year, including showdowns over the South China Sea, cyberspace, Pacific trade agreements, currency manipulation, and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, it isn’t surprising that China has been a popular topic on the campaign trail.  Throw into the mix China’s massive military build-up and the Chinese government’s ongoing crackdown on dissent, it seems fitting that a policy analysis published last year by the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations suggested that the U.S. needs “a new grand strategy toward China that centers on balancing the rise of Chinese power rather than continuing to assist its ascendancy.” [more...]

Stocks Could Benefit from Moving Average Breakout

By Jeff Cox - Finance Editor for CNBC.com

A year that had been looking pretty bleak for the stock market suddenly appears to be turning a corner. Since the Feb. 11 low, the S&P 500 has gained about 14 percent, thanks to strong performance from materials and energy stocks. However, other sectors are starting to catch up to give the rally more balance, and that has triggered an important signal that historically has portended for even stronger gains. Last week, for the first time since September 2014, all 10 S&P 500 sectors were above their 200-day moving averages. Financials, which remain negative for the year but have gained more than 12 percent over the past three months, were the last group to cross over. [more...]

The Obamacare Scare

By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

Obamacare just lost the biggest health insurance provider in the U.S. United Healthcare announced it will abandon nearly all Obamacare programs for 2017. After losing $475 million in 2015 and projections to lose $650 million for 2016, UHC is calling it quits on Obama’s attempt to remedy healthcare. United Healthcare will continue to provide Obamacare in just a small number of states, withdrawing from the vast majority of the current 34 it serves. They will continue to focus on providing individual and employment based healthcare. [more...]

Who Will Get the Unpledged Delegates at the GOP Convention?

By Dr. Gerard Lameiro

It appears unlikely that either Trump or Cruz will get to the magic number of 1,237 delegates to garner the Republican presidential nomination on the first ballot in Cleveland in July.  At that point, the “unpledged delegates” will become potentially critical in the nomination process. But there are also three other important groups of delegates that might give the nomination to Trump or Cruz. Some delegates are pledged to candidates who have suspended their campaigns.  These delegates are the so-called “orphaned delegates.”  In addition, some delegates are “pledged to be uncommitted.” Indeed, how will the unpledged, pledged to be uncommitted, and orphaned delegates vote in Cleveland?  What about the “non-aligned delegates” who support a candidate other than the primary winners in their respective states?  What’s going on with all these delegates?

The Donald Trump-Prince Connection

By James Hirsen

The public may generally have been unaware that a nexus existed between Donald Trump and the late pop icon Prince; however, this certainly appears to be the case. There are actually numerous links between the two famed individuals, each of their names having recently been brought up in the media and on the Internet following the unexpected passing of Prince.

Trump himself reacted to the death of the beloved music artist by posting a tribute to him on the Web. The GOP front-runner surprised his Twitter followers by releasing a statement that read, “I met Prince on numerous occasions. He was an amazing talent and wonderful guy. He will be greatly missed!” Prince’s sudden departure has led to a flurry of discussion on the artistic legacy of the pop singer-songwriter-actor, and Trump’s name has been part and parcel of the intriguing media conversation.

Discovery’s new Investigation channel will launch my new reality series, “Las Vegas Law,” starting May 12.  Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson is about to become reality television’s newest star on the new series where cameras had unprecedented access to the prosecutors who protect Sin City. The Clark County District Attorney’s Office handles more than 60,000 cases a year, including high-profile homicides, robberies, gang-related crimes and assaults on the Strip. These aren’t stories pulled from a Hollywood script. They happen to real people just trying to live and let loose under the big lights of Sin City. [more...]

Changing the Face of the $20 Bill

By Lowell Ponte

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is reportedly about to announce that the face on the $20 bill, President Andrew Jackson, will be replaced with civil rights hero Harriet Tubman. Jackson did many terrible things, but he was also the last president to reduce the national debt to zero, and to fight for smaller government. He opposed the creation of a national bank, which he saw as corrupt control over our money supply. [more...]

Goldman Sachs Sees 'Upside Risk' for U.S. Economy

The bank said its proprietary Financial Conditions Index has returned to its August 2015 level, providing a bright spot in an economy that otherwise has been lackluster. [more...]

Capitalism in Basketball

By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

In many of Europe’s biggest sports, fans are accustomed to seeing sponsor logos plastered across jerseys of their favorite teams. In the U.S., Nascar and golf fans are also familiar with the advertisement system. The big four, however - football, baseball, basketball, and hockey - have remained largely untouched by sponsors on apparel. For the 2017-2018 season, the NBA will debut on-jersey advertisements for the first time in the big four. The advertisement patches, measuring just 2.5 inches across, will generate $100 million in new revenue for the NBA. The return per square inch is enormous. It seems to me (and Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner) that this is a no-brainer. [more...]

Defamed by UCLA Vice Chancellor for Defending the Jews

By David Horowitz

Today a letter attacking me was sent to all members of the UCLA community – that would be nearly 50,000 people – by Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Jerry Kang. The Vice Chancellor’s letter attacked me as a “provocateur” who last year “put up hostile posters accusing two student organizations - the Muslim Student Association (MSA) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) - of being murderers and terrorists.” This is a lie.

Unions Infiltrating the Republican Party?

By Dave Bego

I recently received disturbing information from business friends in California and Colorado regarding the Republican Party in their respective states. This information creates concern about the divisiveness occurring within the Republican Party during the current election primary process, and potentially impacts the future of the party itself. Considering that California is a heavily union controlled state and Colorado politics are controlled generally through Denver, a heavily unionized city, it does not appear to be a coincidence that unions in these states may be infiltrating the Republican Party.

Hillary Won NY Because Black People Hate Bernie Sanders

By Daniel Greenfield

Team Bernie was whining that they had lost in the South because it was "conservative" and even made noises about the Confederacy. They were lying and they knew it. They were losing because black people don't vote for Bernie. And that's why Bernie lost New York. Bernie Sanders won narrowly among white voters. He lost decisively among black voters 75 to 25. Hillary Clinton also won Latino voters 63 to 37. Those groups combined made up 36% of the electorate. White voters amounted to 60 percent. All Hillary Clinton needed to do was cut into Bernie's performance with white voters and he was toast. And that's what happened. [more...]

Congress is Starting to Understand that Free Trade Agreements Don’t Work

CPA held its annual DC Fly-In this week. CPA members from across the country fanned out across the Capitol. CPA is now taken very seriously by congressional offices. They trust what we say. One-fourth of our meetings included the congressman/woman themselves, which is significant and a new high for us. Senior staffers attended our meetings, rather than junior staffers, as was the case only a few years ago.

After NY Primary, Does Trump Have a Lock on the First Ballot?

By Dr. Gerard Lameiro

On the heels of the NY primary comes a series of 10 primaries at the end of April and into May. They are mostly closed to people not in the Republican Party. On April 26th, the Pennsylvania Primary with 71 delegates is a major prize.  But only 17 of the 71 delegates are pledged to vote for the winner of the primary.  These are at-large, bonus and RNC delegates.  The other 54 delegates are selected in an unusual LOOPHOLE type primary where delegates are selected separately from the State presidential candidate preference in each of 18 Congressional District primaries.  In addition, these 54 delegates are officially unpledged.

Can Trump Really “Win” Against China?

By Daniel R. Joseph

Donald Trump has been saying that China is “killing” the US and, if he’s president, we will “win” against China.  Can The Donald actually do what he claims?  Can he “win” against China?  I would say the answer is “yes and no,” and depends to a large degree on how you define “win.”  For the sake of argument, let’s say that Trump’s intent is to “get tough” with China on certain key issues.  Is that advisable and what benefit might result?  Below are some thoughts relative to the most contentious issues facing the US-Sino relationship: imports from China, exports to China, cyber espionage, and...

Rough Road Ahead for Oil

By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

After reaching a 13-year low in January and February, oil prices have floated back above the $40 mark on many indices. Brent Crude, the global benchmark, rose from a $29.31 low to a 2016 high of $44.28 last week. Much, if not all of this price increase, came from hopes of a drop in global supply. Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, and even the U.S. were producing at record high numbers, and an agreement by OPEC to curb supply would naturally drive prices higher. [more...]

California Holds the Golden Key for Trump

By James Hirsen

Like a locomotive in the night, the headlights of the California primary are getting brighter and coming ever closer, bringing what will be a decisive conclusion to the 2016 Republican primary contest. Despite all the machinations by the GOP establishment, the Golden State June 7 primary is likely to give Donald Trump enough delegates to place him either over the magic 1,237 number or close enough so that he can win the first round at the convention in Cleveland this July and secure the nomination for the presidency. A simple fact seems to elude many in the press when it comes to covering the GOP presidential race: The only current Republican candidate who has an actual chance of obtaining a majority of delegates prior to the start of the GOP convention is the front-runner.

“Liberal” Media Trump’s Chief Booster?

By Lowell Ponte

Why are so few of Trump's supporters suspicious that the "liberal" media is their "conservative" candidate's chief booster? Is the "earned" media they give Trump an illegal $2 billion campaign contribution, or merely their tribute to his ability to boost ratings? Either way, it has grossly tilted and rigged the playing board in this election cycle. And why have Trump's fans in both the liberal and conservative media ceased to mention his "off the record" long interview with the left-of-center New York Times editorial board? Trump has refused to authorize the public release of this tape, just as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton refuses to release transcripts of three private speeches before Goldman Sachs, for which these powerful bankers paid her $675,000.

The Rise and Fall of Bill de Blasio

By Daniel Greenfield

Bill de Blasio was New York City's first Democratic mayor in around two decades. His victory was largely due to three factors: 1. A lobby pushing to ban horses likely as part of a real estate plot; 2. his son's viral videos; and 3. media bias. While de Blasio is a radical leftist, he came to power as part of the "ACORN" election in which the left had made an aggressive push to hijack the City Council and was feeling its oats nationwide. So that no matter how much he attacked the NYPD, pandered to Muslims, pushed destructive left-wing policies at every level, it was never enough. It could never be enough. Now, with an investigation hanging over his head, his career seems to be headed for the exit.  [more...]

Government Announces Larger February Trade Deficit Despite Trade Deals

By Michael Stumo, CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America

The federal government announced that the U.S. trade deficit worsened yet again in February 2016. American trade performance continues to fail because of the focus on dumb trade agreements that end up facilitating more imports than exports. The U.S. needs to pivot to an overarching strategy to balance trade rather than pursue losing gambits like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). [more...]

Quickie Last Minute Tax Tips from TaxMama

By Eva Rosenberg, EA

Good news! This year we get a few extra days to file our tax returns – until April 18th (19th in MD and DC). But what if you’re just not ready? Relax. File an extension – no excuses needed. You get an extra six months to file. Use Form 4868 for personal extensions (check with your state for their forms). Oh, you heard it’s an extension to file, not an extension to pay? That’s true. But they will grant you the extension even if you don’t pay the whole balance due. By filing the extension, you avoid the non-filing penalty of 5% per month...AND if you really have a hardship when it comes to paying, there’s a special form to give you more time to pay (Form 1127).

The Failure of Muslim Integration in the UK

By Joseph Klein

Europe’s open door policy to Muslim immigrants has utterly failed. Its tolerance of the intolerant tenets of Islamic law and practices under the banner of multiculturalism has also failed. Great Britain is a case in point. Muslims have created their own segregated communities by choice. Even pro-immigration leaders are admitting they were wrong in their optimism that Muslims would willingly integrate into British society over time. As the saying goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” A former head of Great Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, came to that realization after doing a 180 degree turn on the issue of Muslim immigrant integration. [more...]

The Curious Case of the Missing Colorado Delegate
By Crista Huff

On Saturday, April 9, 2016, a man named Larry from Douglas County, CO slandered Douglas County (CO) Republicans on Facebook. In that Facebook post, Larry claimed that he went to his neighborhood caucus meeting on March 1st, at which a precinct captain named Jan Morgan had threatened him about being a Trump supporter, with the implication that Trump supporters would not be allowed to be delegates to the April 9th State Republican Assembly. Larry then claimed that he indeed had attempted to attend the State Republican Assembly on April 9th, but was cheated out of his delegate position. Hundreds of people initially read his story, which then quickly spread across America. [more...]


Why (Some) Conservatives are Wrong About China
By Daniel R. Joseph

Let me begin by saying I am a conservative.  So the comments below are not meant to be disparaging of those with whom I mostly agree.  However, having lived in China for 12 years and been involved in China for more than 20 years, I have had the opportunity to gain a perspective on China that differs from many other conservatives.  That’s why I feel an obligation to correct misunderstandings that seem to exist simply due to a lack of familiarity.  Below I address some of the main misperceptions relative to China that seem to be held by many conservatives. First of all, China is not manipulating its currency lower. [more...]

HBO Launches Cinematic Attack on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
By James Hirsen

HBO is about to debut a movie titled “Confirmation,” which looks to be an all-out effort to revise the historical record of the 1991 confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The film ostensibly tells the story of the confirmation hearings that took place two-plus decades ago, during which Hill accused then-Supreme Court nominee Thomas of sexual harassment. Hill was not found to be credible by most of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee or the public at large for that matter. However, the left has consistently sought ways to elevate Hill, denigrate Justice Thomas, and systematically alter the historical record. According to California Senator Barbara Boxer, the outrage over Thomas’s confirmation is what created the motivation for the following year to be deemed the “Year of the Woman,” a period in which four women were elected to the U.S. Senate, including California’s Dianne Feinstein and Boxer. “If it wasn’t for Anita Hill, I would not have won my Senate race,” Boxer told Variety, “We got elected by this woman’s courage.” Those who have long wished to characterize Hill’s deceit as “courageous” have had to enlist the help of professional storytellers to accomplish the goal of revised history.

Uncle Sam Blogs One of the Biggest Mergers in History
By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

In a deal thought to be locked up and ready to go, Pfizer and Allergan saw a $160 billion merger wash down the drain. The business world has seen a large number of inversions in recent years; inversions are first and foremost about relocating a company’s tax domicile to a more favorable nation. Courts have ruled there is nothing wrong with a business seeking lower taxes, but the federal government is unhappy with this outflow of cash. Last week, the Department of the Treasury passed a policy making the Pfizer/Allergan merger impracticable. The feds blocked the merger on anti-trust grounds, but it is clear it’s an effort to keep a major corporation based in the U.S. [more...]


Advice for Donald Trump - Spend Money Now
By Wayne Allyn Root

Politics has always been about money. Whoever has the most money controls the message and the voters. It was Democrat Speaker of the House Tip O’Neil who said, “Money is the mother’s milk of politics.” So it was great news for me to hear that billionaire Donald Trump was running for President. Trump is the richest man (by far) to ever run for President. I thought that Republicans finally had the money on our side - after two terms of Obama out-raising both McCain and Romney by a country mile. [more...]

Pay No Attention to that Trade Deficit Behind the Curtain
By Crista Huff

Did you know that the U.S. trade deficit with China reached a record $365.7 billion in 2015?! In case you’re not an economist, let me put that more clearly: In 2015, the value of products that China sent to the U.S. was worth $365.7 billion dollars more than the value of products that the U.S. sent to China.

Military Voters Matter
By Joe Messina

In 2008, the Democratic Chairwoman of the Virginia State Board of Election argued that sending absentee ballots overseas to the military one day before the elections was perfectly legal. Really? What was the motivation? Why wouldn’t we give these guys every chance to vote? A federal court stepped in and ruled that Virginia violated federal law but conceded that without the original ballots, there was no way to prove if the voting would have made a difference. So the moral to the Democrat voter story is to protect the votes of the dead, the illegals, and the non-existent, but to hell with the military. We wouldn’t want to go out of our way to accommodate them in any way! Why, you ask? Because the majority of the military tends to vote Republican or conservative. [more...]

The figure of 1,416 arrests, most of them lasting just hours, is one of the highest monthly totals registered in the past five years, exceeded only by the 1,447 arbitrary arrests recorded in November 2015.

Trump on Gold
By Lowell Ponte

Donald Trump has shown a special fondness for gold. “In some ways, I like the gold standard,” Trump told WMUR television in New Hampshire in 2015. “There's something very nice about the gold standard - something solid. We used to have a very solid country based on a gold standard,” Trump continued. “We don't have that anymore.” Returning to gold-backed money “would be very hard to do at this point,” said Trump, “in part because we don't have the gold. Other places have the gold.” But, unlike those he calls “all talk, no action” politicians, Trump has put his money where his mouth is by making gold a large part of his everyday life. Trump has even taken gold bullion as payment instead of dollars for a renter in one of his Manhattan buildings. [more...]


Is Paul Ryan Running for the Republican Presidential Nomination?
By Dr. Gerard Lameiro

While Trump and Cruz are battling it out for delegates to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July, Paul Ryan might be setting the stage for a strong run at the presidential nomination on the second ballot at the convention... or even the third ballot.  Is this thought just a wild speculation in April, or is there enough evidence at this point to definitely conclude Paul Ryan is truly running for president?  Let’s talk about it now.

Cable Companies Benefit from Unpredictable Primaries
By James Hirsen

Cable news shows have been strategically placing digital countdown clocks in the corner of the television screen to let audiences know the exact time of an upcoming primary contest, debate, or town hall meeting. The countdown clocks are being displayed by cable news channels for a very specific reason. It makes good business sense. The unprecedented nature of the primary election season has contributed to sizable increases in revenues for the cable TV news outlets. [more...]


VC Rates Highest Since 2000 - What This Means for Tech Startups

The rapid rise of tech start-ups is both fueling, and fueled by, the new wave of venture capital funding hitting Silicon Valley. VC firms are seeing their highest rates since 2000, pulling over $13 billion this year. The last time VC saw this kind of fundraising, the dot-com bubble burst spectacularly. Now, we may be seeing a similar kind of bubble. According to The Wall Street Journal, there are 146 privately held, VC fueled tech startups valued over one billion dollars. Investors continue to flock to these startups thanks to the high return on investment. [more...]

Long-Simmering Anger About Trade is Boiling Over for Voters
By Michael Stumo, CEO of Coalition for a Prosperous America

The dwindling number of economists who unquestioningly support more trade agreements assume untrue facts to support their belief. Trade agreements produce more gains than losses under rare circumstances. First, there must be full employment so workers losing jobs gain equivalent jobs next week. Second, there must be no currency manipulation that distorts the relative price of imports to domestic goods and services. Third, trade must remain balanced so import job losses are offset by export job gains. [more...]
