Conservative states have a warning for corporations that have “gone woke”: The consequences of political activism are no longer one-sided. This month, West Virginia declared it would no longer do business with five Wall Street banks over the companies’ anti-coal or anti-fossil fuel policies. “You have your right to be able to boycott the fossil fuel industry, but we’re not going to do business with you. We’re not going to pay for our own destruction,” State Treasurer Riley Moore said. “They’ve weaponized tax dollars against the very people and industries that…

Congress “invested” in the American economy to the tune of $ 7 trillion over two and a half years. The result? Inflation is through the roof, the economy is stagnant at best, and more than 60% of Americans now report living paycheck to paycheck. Americans got a lousy return on that investment.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defied the Communist Chinese government Tuesday by touching down in Taiwan for a visit. The California Democrat continued to win praise from Republican lawmakers, but an ambiguous response at best from the Biden administration, which has been skeptical of the trip.  Pelosi issued a statement after her arrival saying that the visit “honors America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant democracy.” Pelosi is the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit Taiwan since then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., did it in 1997.  Gingrich is among Republicans who had…

Is the Labor Market Really as Good as the Administration Says?

Market, says, GOOD, administration, really, Labor0 comment

Between out-of-control inflation, ongoing supply-chain struggles, the crisis at the southern border, foreign policy concerns, exploding energy prices, rising crime, and a high likelihood that the country is either already or soon will be experiencing stagflation (an inflationary recession), it’s no wonder that Democrats and the Biden administration are talking up the strong labor market. A recent tweet on the Democrats’ official Twitter page stated, “Under Joe Biden, the private sector has recovered all of the jobs lost during the pandemic—and added jobs on top of that.” That statement is…
