The Kavanaugh Election

By Daniel Greenfield

The Democrats raised $950 million to take the House and another $513 million to take the Senate. They boosted their spending by 44% while Republican spending only rose by 21% since the last midterms. With that much at stake, just as in the Kavanaugh nomination, the Democrats used every dirty trick. Republicans were harassed, threatened, assaulted and even shot. The media accused them of racism, sexism and treason. No smear was too low. No accusation too improbable. And some of them worked. Before the election, these tactics exploded in the Kavanaugh hearings... and so did the backlash. [more...]

Strong Jobs Growth in October Powers U.S. Economy Forward

By Michael Stumo

The latest monthly jobs report shows that the U.S. economy continues to grow strongly and create jobs. However, a September trade deficit running 21 percent worse than a year ago means urgent action is required on the trade front. The monthly jobs summary reported 250,000 new jobs in October, including 32,000 new manufacturing jobs. So far this year, U.S. manufacturing has added 296,000 jobs, the best record since 1995. Unemployment remains at a historically low level of 3.7 percent, while 3.1 percent growth in average hourly earnings has finally broken through the 3 percent threshold. [more...]

Hollywood's Closing Argument - 'We're All Going to Die!'

By Christian Toto

Some of Hollywood's biggest stars spent the weekend begging us to give the House back to the Dems.  How? 'We’re all gonna die if the GOP retains control of Congress,' they cried. Or, even worse, 'Nazism will rise again, turning the Land of the Free into the Home of the Concentration Camp.' Sound like hyperbole? It’s the precise message being sent by some celebrity elite.  [more...]

Congressional Transparency Scorecard

By Adam Andrzejewski, Author of “Operation Drain the Swamp”

You can't make America great again unless you hold America accountable again. It's time for a Transparency Revolution. More transparency means more accountability. We developed a Congressional Transparency Scorecard, assigning a grade for each member of the U.S. House of Representatives based on voting records and legislation sponsorship. We awarded passing grades to members who help open the books and keep government transparent. Unfortunately, 205 representatives received a "D" or an "F." How is your district's representative performing on transparency? Check our full report for their transparency score here. [more...]

Democrats Bet Their Midterm Fortunes on Failed Health Care Policy

By Sally Pipes, President & CEO of the Pacific Research Institute

Health care has been the most-mentioned issue in Democratic advertisements in the run-up to this month's midterm elections. Many Democrats are making Medicare for All the centerpiece of their pitch to voters. Clearly, Democrats didn't learn their lesson in 2010, when their previous effort at government micromanagement of the health care sector - ObamaCare - cost them their House majority. By supporting single-payer, Democrats are doubling down. Apparently, the problem with ObamaCare wasn't that it rendered health insurance unaffordable for millions. It's that it didn't inject enough government into the health care marketplace. Only a full-scale federal takeover of one-fifth of the economy will do. [more...]

Lowe's is Closing 51 Stores in the U.S. and Canada

By Michelle Seiler-Tucker

Lowe's is planning to close around 51 of its home improvement stores, including 30 in Canada due to underperforming results from those locations. As part of a restructuring initiative, Lowe’s CEO Marvin Ellison plans to close stores whose sales are not reaching expected results. Lowe's main competition is Home Depot whose sales far exceed the sales of Lowes. [more...]

Sharia, Corruption and Jew-hatred Come to the House

By Robert Spencer

As expected, two Muslim women, Rashida Tlaib in Michigan and Ilhan Omar in Minnesota, have been overwhelmingly elected to Congress. The establishment media will celebrate these victories as triumphs of America’s “diversity.” Unfortunately, in reality, neither one is worth celebrating. Tlaib is a vociferous foe of Israel. With the Democrats now regaining control of the House, Tlaib is likely to be an energetic proponent of the new majority’s vendetta against the Middle East’s only democracy. The House is likely to do all it can to roll back President Trump’s pro-Israel polices, with Tlaib as well as Omar as becoming the public faces of the effort. [more...]
