Pseudo-Republican Squishes Are Anything but Compassionate
David Limbaugh, It is enormously frustrating that conservatives can’t capture the moral high ground from the phony virtue-signaling factory that is the modern Democratic Party. Conservative policies not only work better but also are morally superior. Democrats depend on cliches and false narratives to obstruct true reform — which includes shaming many Republicans from believing
The Cost of Waiting to Drain the Swamp Is High
Ed Feulner, “Drain the swamp!” It was the battle cry of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Tuning Out the Fake News Media
Michael Reagan, The stock market is soaring. The economy is improving and employment is up. But all you get from the Fake News Media (FNM) every night is more Trump bashing.

SOLID: 211,000 Jobs Created in April, Unemployment Falls to 4.4%

The Moribund Economy Needs Tax Reform Now
Donald Lambro, The U.S. economy plummeted to its weakest quarterly growth rate in two years in yet another bleak reminder of former President Obama’s failed fiscal policies.

Colin McNickle, Job growth of any kind is welcome, of course. But all growth is not created equal, remind scholars at the Allegheny Institute for Public Policy. And Pennsylvania’s tax collection numbers are most instructive in that regard. The Lincoln Institute’s recent spring survey of commonwealth businesses suggested there is a more optimistic view of
Le Pen: France Must Reject Euro to Regain Sovereignty

Donald Trump, Jr.: My Father’s First 100 Days
One hundred days ago, when my father stood in front of the American people and took the oath of office, an American resurgence began.
