Socializing the Democrat Party
By Lowell Ponte
With their secret Internal polls apparently showing it may be
political suicide that 57 percent of its voters now view socialism positively,
but only 47 percent view capitalism favorably, the Democratic Party’s bosses
are having their media comrades attempt a new party line. “Socialism does not
mean government control,” their new propaganda line goes. “When young people
favor ‘socialism,’ they merely mean the restoration of liberalism with a bit
more welfare for the poor and a bit more social justice for the downtrodden.
It’s nothing to be afraid of.” This attempt to sanitize the Democrats’ rapid
shift and candidate scramble towards socialism is nonsense. [more...]
Cakeshop 2.0
Once again, the Colorado Civil Rights
Division (CCRD) is targeting Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop.
The original drama lasted more than six years and concerned Phillips' refusal
to create a custom wedding cake for a gay couple. The finale came in June 2018
with a 7-2 Supreme Court decision in Phillips' favor. The sequel to this story
debuted recently when news broke that the CCRD ordered Phillips into
"compulsory mediation" for a new discrimination charge. The
complainant this time is Autumn Scardina, a transgender attorney who requested
a custom cake to celebrate his/her gender transition. Scardina has allegedly
targeted this shop in the past with sexually explicit and satanic cake
requests. [more...]
Anti-Trump Media Attempt to Tamper with the Manafort Jury
By James Hirsen
Paul Manafort worked as a manager for the
Trump campaign for approximately three months back in 2016. A high-profile
trial has been taking place over the last three weeks in the courtroom of Judge
T. S. Ellis. Manafort has been charged with eighteen counts of income tax
evasion and bank fraud. The jury in the case is presently deliberating. Still
smarting from the unexpected results of the 2016 election, many in the
mainstream media have been feverishly covering each step of the investigation
being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller as well as the Manafort trial,
which they view as the singular most important legal event for Mueller thus
far. However, two recent events that happened during the trial have seemingly
generated concern and even anxiety within the mainstream media over the
possibility that the trial’s outcome may not be the one for which the outlets
had longed. [more...]
Tariff
Job Gains Exceed Losses By 20:1
Earlier this week, the Coalition for a Prosperous America
(CPA) published details
of its new ‘Tariff Job Creation Tracker’ that tallied U.S. manufacturing jobs
gained in the wake of recent tariff actions. We keep hearing stories about the
sky falling because of President Trump’s strong hand in enforcing existing U.S.
trade laws. But the past six months have shown impressive job creation in
skilled, high-wage sectors against only very negligible, accompanying job
losses. The early returns show strong positive job creation. And there will
undoubtedly be greater job growth as more sectors receive attention from the
administration. [more...]
Turkey’s
Problems Not Due to Trump’s Trade Policies
By Jeff Ferry
Turkey’s currency crisis is threatening the Turkish economy and
there is a genuine risk that this could spill over into other emerging market
economies with excessive foreign indebtedness. There’s even a risk this could
lead to a worldwide recession as the aftereffects boomerang back on to the advanced
nations whose banks have lent money to those struggling nations. But make no
mistake, Turkey’s problems are not the result of President Trump’s trade
policies, nor any American policies. [more...]
Providing Better Deals for Health Coverage
By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the
Pacific Research Institute
More than a dozen state attorneys general just sued the
Department of Labor over a new rule that makes it easier for small businesses
and self-employed individuals to form “association health plans.” AHPs enable
these firms and sole proprietors to band together to negotiate with insurers
for better deals for health coverage. The attorneys general claim the rule violates
consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act. But the opposite is true - the
rule will work to the great benefit of consumers. Since Obamacare’s many rules
took full effect in 2014, the cost of insurance for small firms and
self-employed people has skyrocketed. AHPs will grant them access to the
affordable, high-quality health plans they want and deserve. [more...]
