The
“Fourth Horseman” of the Trumpocalypse
By
Lowell Ponte
Four “horsemen” of the unelected Deep State are aiming to
cause a “Trumpocalypse” - a final destruction of Donald Trump’s presidency.
Bureaucrats continue illegally leaking classified data or doing investigations
to undermine him. The mainstream media continues nonstop character
assassination of President Trump. Leftist judges continue to impede his efforts
with rulings based on their personal political ideology, rather than the law.
If Trump’s economic policies succeed at restoring capitalism by shrinking
government taxes and regulations, the resulting prosperity will triumph over
these enemies. The President’s deadliest foe is thus in some ways almost as
powerful as he is. Oddly, this dangerous “Fourth Horseman” is a white-haired,
71-year-old liberal grandmother named Janet Yellen. [more...]
Sweden Prepares to
Deport Christian Convert to Iran, Hungary Offers Asylum
Hungary
has offered asylum to Christian convert Aideen Strandsson because the Swedish
government plans to deport her to Iran where she could face prison or even the
death penalty for apostasy. Even worse, Strandsson states that she was told by
Swedish authorities that “it’s not our problem if you decided to become a
Christian.” It is ironic that Sweden has a reputation as “the world’s
humanitarian conscience and a safe haven for refugees” in the face of its
rejection and mockery of Strandsson. [more...]
The Economic Aftereffects
of Hurricane Harvey
I
own a graphics design company in Houston, and know firsthand that Harvey has
affected all my employees one way or another, and this holds true for everyone
in the surrounding area in Houston. But it is not just Texas that has been
affected by Harvey. Across the U.S., people will start to feel the effects of
Harvey. Houston is a major hub for oil refinery in the Gulf coast. At least 10
refineries have already been shut down. This means that there will be less gas
to meet the demand of Americans, pushing gas prices up. With 22% of oil
produced in the Gulf being shut down, we will most likely see a spike of 20 to
80 cents in gas prices in the coming weeks. With continuing effects of
Hurricane Harvey to come, we send our love and prayers to Houstonians and
everyone in the surrounding area. [more...]
Why Economists Can’t
Connect Free Trade & Low Prices to Economic Growth
By
Jeff
Ferry
Economists
in the U.S. are overwhelmingly in favor of free trade. But they continue to be
frustrated that the public doesn’t buy their arguments. So frustrated are
they that last May, one of the leading pro-free-trade think tanks, the Peterson
Institute, invited highly respected economist Alan Blinder, now a Princeton
professor and former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman, to give a talk on why the
public doesn’t buy the free trade gospel. [more...]
Tech Giants Morph into
Internet Censors
By
James
Hirsen
Monopolistic
technology giants are increasingly acquiring massive amounts of control over
the manner in which the public is obtaining and communicating information.
Interestingly, the Internet companies concurrently seem to have altered in an
alarming way their corporate perspective on free expression. In addition to
assuming greater and greater power over entertainment content itself, there
appears to be an escalating influence that is being exerted in a general sense
with regard to what is seen, heard, and read. [more...]
