The Beltway Squabbles Over America’s Overvalued Dollar

By Jeff Ferry

It may have been obscured by the State of the Union address, but there was quite a kerfuffle in Washington recently. Clinton-era Treasury Secretary Larry Summers went semi-ballistic over comments made by his successor, Steven Mnuchin. During the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin made a passing remark that “obviously a weaker dollar is good for us as it relates to trade and opportunities.” Summers quickly took to the pundit-sphere to criticize Mnuchin for perceived failures in “style and substance.” Specifically, Summers lectured Mnuchin that there are “good economic reasons the last seven Treasury secretaries stayed with the strong dollar mantra.” [more...]

Five Reasons Why the Big 2017 Trade Deficit Affects You

By Michael Stumo

The big news this week is that the annual U.S. trade deficit increased in 2017 by 12% over 2016. Here are five reasons you should care: 1) Your stock market gains could be at risk; 2) Your wages don’t grow as fast; 3) Our economy grows more slowly; 4) Foreign countries have nationalistic trade strategies; 5) A “strong” dollar hurts you and your family. Bottom line: Countries like China, South Korea and Germany benefit from weak currencies when selling goods in the U.S. [more...]

A Quick Guide to the D.C. Swamp

By Dr. Gerard Lameiro

With the FISA memo, the Schiff memo, and all the finger-pointing, what’s going on in the D.C. swamp now? Are the Democrats trying to protect Clinton’s potentially criminal activity? Are they trying to protect Obama and the politicization of his administration? Are the Democrats trying to protect the Obama FBI, the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ), the Obama State Department, and the Obama IRS? Are the DOJ and FBI trying to protect themselves from their potentially illegal efforts to exonerate Clinton and to cause trouble for presidential candidate and then, president-elect Trump?

The Clinton Dossier - Exposing the Collusion Between the DOJ and the Clintons

By Daniel Greenfield

There were many damning revelations in the Nunes memo released by a House Intelligence Committee vote. But the most damning of them all doesn’t raise questions about process, but about motive. The memo told us that the FISA application would not have happened without the Steele dossier. The document known as the “Steele dossier” was a work product of the Clinton campaign. Not only was Christopher Steele, the former British intel agent who purportedly produced the document, working for an organization hired by the Clinton campaign, but he shared a memo with the FBI from Cody Shearer, a Clinton operative, listing some of the same allegations as the ones in his dossier. That memo has raised questions about whether Steele had been doing original research or just dressing up a smear by Shearer.

The Dems’ 19th Nervous Breakdown

By Bruce Thornton

Staggered by Donald Trump’s unthinkable victory in the presidential election, Democrats have continued to be pummeled by the Trump’s tax reform, the supercharged economy, his withering tweet-scorn for them and their media flunkies, their own failed government shut-down, and a rousing State of the Union address that raised his poll numbers and made the Democrat Congressmen in the audience look like pouting prom wallflowers. And now comes the “Memo,” the House Intelligence Committee’s exposure of the slow-motion coup engineered by partisan FBI and DOJ functionaries, and other deep-state members of the “resistance.” Now it’s up to “We the People” to demand accountability from these abusers of the public trust and violators of the Constitution.

The Memo - Scud or Dud?

By John LeBoutillier

On the latest edition of REVOLUTION_The Podcast... we analyze the fall-out from the Nunes memo: what does it mean for the Trump-Russia investigation? What is next: Does Trump fire Mueller before he's forced to answer questions under oath? Is this what The Memo is really all about - to give Trump "cover"? What of the role of the Fox News Channel? Has it become the Trump News Channel? What about the Republican Party? Has it morphed into the Trump Party? Where is all of this headed? [more...]
