The "Chosen" People

I do not know if it is such a good thing to be Jewish as I am, as I note two of the four victims of the Manhattan murderer were women who were Jews. Yes, with us constituting two tenths of one percent of the world's population, half of the innocent lives taken were of my coreligionists. Odds would be incalculable against such a tiny minority being slaughtered at random but our good Lord tolerated that hit by lightning type of event. If we are this "chosen", perhaps we would fare better if G-d picks some other group. 

Fed Earns "F"

The Federal Reserve is deliberately stifling the Trump economy. I accuse them of pure anti-Trump political partisanship. 

Three Percent Growth!

I worried that at this moment we would be in a Trump tariff-induced recession. I am glad to admit that I could not have been more wrong. The United States is enjoying steady growth at a sustainable rate with the Gross Domestic Product just gauged at having 3% expansion in the last quarter, We are not receding and certainly a long way from a cataclysmic depression that I know we ultimately would have suffered under the hard Harris socialism we were so blessed to avoid. 

An American Tariffist

Donald Trump is something of a protectionist, and I feared his tariffs would harm the economy and our nation. I had visions of Smoot-Hawley exacerbating the Great Depression and thought Trump's tariffs would be causing the same type of dislocation. To this point, I admit I am wrong, and that the President is a master strategist using the tariffs and threat thereof as a means to strengthen America's negotiating positions. There are and will be new duties on foreign goods imposed by master tactician Trump, but under the careful management of the President and his economic team, the possible harms of the tariff policy are being mitigated and our nation is prevailing in economic talks with countries that have taken advantage of Uncle Sucker since the 1970's. Under Trump, we win!

Grotesque Genocide Lie

In the first instance, why have none of Israel's Arab neighbors welcomed "refugees" from Gaza? Why is Egypt not held to account for denying Gazans an escape route along the shared border? In the second instance, if Gazans are "starving", why has the United Nations stockpiled massive amounts of food aid there, rather than delivering it? It is because the UN will not distribute the rations under American and Israeli auspices and insists Hamas, the terror group that started the conflict have a hand in doling the meals out. Hamas steals almost all the relief intended for the people and sells it to noncombatants at exorbitant prices or uses it to feed its own fighters. Is the situation bad in the Gaza? Obviously, yes it is because the people who started the war with a real attempt at genocide of the Jews still run Gaza and are intent to continue their aggression against their Jewish cross-border neighbors, some of whom they are still holding as hostages. 

Just Nine Billion

To cut nine billion dollars of spending, it was like pulling teeth from an angry rhinoceros. In a nation with trillions in debt and around three and a half trillion dollars in annual Federal spending, the powers-that-be made it difficult to even have a tiny reduction in the bloated expenditure. We are not talking about paring back nine hundred billion or even just 90, but a mere nine billion dollars, or an amount that might be a tad more than Trump's net worth or a small fraction of Elon Musk's giant nest egg. The President is serious about saving the taxpayers money, but the Congress obviously and sadly is not. 

Biden: Deficit Hawk?

Some empty-headed DemocRATS on social media are claiming that the previous President battled mightily against the Federal deficit. Crumbling Joe did no such thing. The extraordinary government spending engendered by COVID simply ended. That was all the reduction of debt there was, save for some curs to the one necessary Federal expenditure, that being the defense of our nation. Trump wrestles against the deficit but had to spend because of the Pandemic. Biden never really took an effort to limit government spending. Only the fear contagion subsided and the never-before seen budgeting for the China plague naturally ended.
