The
Working Class & Trade
There’s
no question: the working class decided the election. Stupid trade policies,
including the Trans-Pacific Partnership, was a major factor in voters' trust in
the candidates to work for their economic well-being. They believed Trump more
than Clinton. CPA's Republican members are joyous. CPA's Democratic members are
devastated. The electoral counts show the extent to which Dems are reeling from
the loss of their prior working class constituency, where Trump gained them,
and the absolute necessity for both parties to cater to the economic well-being
of the working class by, among other things, fixing trade. [more...]
Hollywood
Helps Fuel Election Mischief
By
James
Hirsen
Some
big-name Hollywood celebrities, along with political pouters of all persuasions,
recently joined forces with 2016’s Green Party presidential candidate Jill
Stein and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in hopes of pulling
off an election redo. Although President-elect Donald Trump won a decisive
victory in the 2016 presidential election, many of Hillary’s supporters and
those in her Hollywood fan base are stubbornly refusing to accept the election
results. Now some celebrities are attempting to use social media accounts to
try and persuade fans and followers alike to sign petitions, make telephone
calls, and donate cash, all in an effort to support a recount in the
battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. [more...]
Castro
Was Not a Freedom Fighter
By
Joe
Messina
The
Left is almost in as much mourning for Fidel as it was for JFK and MLK. The
same Left loons that called Trump a dangerous man, a bigot, a homophobe, a
xenophobe, is calling Fidel Castro a revolutionary, a freedom fighter, and
someone who will be revered for bringing education and social services to the
Cuban people. They’re gushing over a man who has had THOUSANDS of people killed
simply for not agreeing with him; he has killed, by firing squad, over 3,500
people. He also executed people for fleeing Cuba by raft. Are these people
serious? [more...]
Oil
Producing Countries Hold Their Breath
Wednesday
marks the 171st OPEC Meeting, which takes place in Vienna, Austria. This is one
of the more significant meetings for members of the Organization for the
Petroleum Exporting Countries as tensions grow worldwide to control oil
production and stabilize oil prices. For more than two years, a downward
pressure on oil prices was caused by an oversupplied global market in need of
higher demand. The imbalance of supply and demand sent prices down from a high
above $105 per barrel to a low of $27 per barrel. Since oil’s low in the winter
of 2016, prices have recovered and are trading around $50 per barrel, but are
still off 50 percent from previous levels. In September, a deal was reached
among OPEC members to cap output at 32.5-33.0 million barrels per day - slightly
lower than the current level of production. A move like this would prop up oil
prices and regulate supply. [more...]
The
Fix for Our Ailing Healthcare System
The
stated intention behind Obamacare was to improve the healthcare system.
However, it has become apparent that the changes implemented were based on
incorrect assumptions: 1) that having health insurance equals access to quality
affordable healthcare; 2) that central planning via government regulations and
mandates could be used to control costs; and 3) that the behavior of doctors
and patients could be controlled by implementing rigid practice guidelines
(i.e., value based medicine, care driven by algorithms instead of physician
judgement) and increasingly shifting the cost of healthcare to patients leading
them to self-ration by pricing them out respectively. The end result has been
an increase in healthcare costs, decreased competition among insurance
companies with monopolies in some states, and a decrease in both primary care
and specialist physicians. Whether you like Obamacare or not, an honest
assessment would conclude that it is simply not sustainable. There is, however,
a solution. [more...]
Will
the Uber Left Prevent Trump from Becoming President?
The
uber left appears to be working overtime to block Trump from becoming the 45th
President of the United States of America. Will protests, riots, violence,
threats and intimidation to presidential electors, and recounts in key states
prevent Trump from becoming president? Will conspiracy narratives gain enough
traction to hand the election over to Clinton? Will Clinton accept a Trump
victory? What is the purpose of the recount effort? What happens if no
candidate gets 270 Electoral votes on December 19th? [more...]
