Trump and Trade: Bereans VLOG (10/15/2018)
17 Oct 2018
-
Hat Tip to David French over at National Review. But its worth listing here too. You probably have heard that Mrs. Clinton says Democrats shouldn’t be civil to Republicans, since they (R’s) are trying to destroy everything that D’s believe in. Eric Holder, in a campaign rally, suggested Mrs. Obama’s famous call, “they go low, […]

I was asked a few posts ago if Mr. Trump could do anything right economically that we’d agree with. Well, Mr. Trump continues to make it hard, because he constantly proves the point he’s in favor of business, not markets in general.

Thus today’s chapter is in the title, […]

We’ve posted earlier on some of the perverse results and unintended consequences of Mr. Trump’s trade policies, but today’s WSJ highlights yet more.

Bill Cosby as a Lesson for Our Political Moment
26 Sep 2018
