Letter
to Pope Francis - World Needs Freedom to End Poverty
Your
Holiness, Pope Francis: Welcome to America! I share your deeply-held concern
for the poor of the world. My concern for global poverty and destitution
was so great that I left a good job in the world of high tech and decided to
write books. I also started Lameiro Economics LLC, a company focused on
bringing practical economic knowledge about freedom, economic growth, and
prosperity to America and to the world. It has also fueled in part my
interest in presidential campaigns and the presidency. To begin with, I want to
say we both want to help all people, especially those who can't help themselves
or who were born into adverse situations. I think we both agree that we
have a moral obligation to help the poor and destitute. [Go here for a complete analysis...]
Fiorina
- A Worthy Opponent
After
the last debate, Donald Trump finally met a worthy opponent - Carly Fiorina. In
August’s debate, Fiorina didn’t make the top 10; she was sent to the kids'
table for the much less viewed undercard debate. Fiorina made such an impact,
however, that CNN amended its policy to allow her, the 11th candidate, to
participate in the primetime GOP debate. Going into the debate, Fiorina was an
outsider to Washington and a stranger to many Americans; however, over the
course of the three-hour evening, Fiorina stood up against her competition and
precisely laid out her policies and views. According to a Morning Consult poll
conducted following Wednesday’s debate, 29% of voters felt Fiorina won with 24%
saying Trump won. Polls taken by Gravis Marketing and other organizations
published similar numbers. Moreover, 78% of voters now have a more favorable
view of Fiorina according to Gravis. These polls are leading many, including
myself, to believe Carly will soon eclipse Ben Carson runner-up to Trump. [more...]
GOP
Establishment's Third Party Trial Balloon
By
James
Hirsen
The
Republican establishment appears to be having an extremely difficult time
trying to figure out how to best deal with GOP presidential candidate Donald
Trump. His business success, coupled with his fourteen seasons on a hit
television show that honed his brand as a solid decision maker, is part of the
uniqueness that Trump has been bringing to the political world. Despite
numerous attempts from various sources to thwart his campaign, Trump holds the
top spot in a majority of the polls. This is throwing the elite political
class, which includes high-powered politicians, major GOP donors, and a
plethora of media figures, into a panic. Ironically, the business mogul himself
is essentially a renegade of the donor class. Politico interviewed a dozen Wall Street executives and found that
some were actually astounded by Trump's standing. "I don’t know anyone who
is a Donald Trump supporter. I don't know anyone who knows anyone who is a
Donald Trump supporter. They are like this huge mystery group," a CEO said.

The
Shutdown Can Be Our Fault
By
Joe
Messina
If
by "fault," the liberals are saying it's the Republicans' "failure"
that the government will be shutdown... I say we should own it! We should own
the fact that we are willing to look at videos of babies who are still moving,
yet being dissected by a group who says they don't do such things. We should
own the fact that we are willing to look at those videos showing babies born at
nearly full term after a botched abortion and then being killed in such a
fashion as to be able to sell the body parts to "research labs." We
should own the fact that we are willing to stick up for the unborn. We should
own the fact that we are willing to risk losing our precious legislative seats
to stick up for those who can't defend themselves. [more...]
The Pope Forgets the Oppressed of Cuba
The pontiff's visit
gave the Castros what they wanted. In 1960, Cuban bishops declared that "Catholicism
and Communism respond to two totally different concepts of man and the world
which it will never be possible to conciliate." Pope Francis, however,
contends that Communism is really Christianity. "The Communists have
stolen our flag," he said. The Cuban bishops condemned Communism as "a
system which brutally denies the most fundamental rights of the human being."
Pope Francis's criticisms of the Castro regime were limited to oblique
references, a plea for religious freedom for Catholics and general criticisms
that could apply to Cuba or any one of a number of other places. He failed to
even reiterate his old criticisms of the regime. [more...]
Are the GOP Outsiders - Trump, Carson and Fiorina - Still Ahead After the Second
GOP Debate?
How
does the Republican race now stand after the second debate? Are the outsiders
still ahead? What will the establishment insiders do to stop Trump, Carson,
Fiorina and Cruz? As Hillary loses support – even among women – will Biden join
the race? What is Putin's game-plan in Syria? This – and much more – will be
discussed by the POLITICAL INSIDERS
– live on Fox News Channel this Sunday evening – at 7:30 PM ET. [more...]
