Vox populi, or the voice of the people, is the phrase Citigroup analysts pick to describe what they feel will be a powerful populist force ahead. Jeff Cox | @JeffCoxCNBCcom Citigroup says populist political storm is brewing Tuesday, 8 Nov 2016 | 7:11 AM ET | 00:36 Tuesday’s presidential election will produce both a winner […]
Congress is already talking about and planning for the lame-duck session of the 114th Congress. You may have heard the reference to a lame-duck president but there is also a lame-duck Congress every two years. It takes place every election year between November and January. A lame-duck Congress includes members of Congress who have retired […]
“I’m afraid I can’t encourage millions of people whom I’ve never met to just run out and cast a ballot simply because they have the right to vote. That would be like encouraging everyone to buy an AR-15, simply because they have the right to bear arms. I would need to know a few things […]
By James D. Agresti October 25, 2016 If there is truth in Ben Franklin’s precept that “tyranny begins” with “ignorance,” a poll commissioned by Just Facts shows that the U.S. may be in deep trouble. While most polls measure public opinion, this unique poll measures voters’ knowledge of issues that affect their lives in tangible […]
How can you build someone up when it counts the most? A lesson about mistakes from Sunday night’s game. Last night’s NFL game between the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks made history–but not in a good way. It ended in a 6-6 tie, officially making it the overtime tie with the lowest score in NFL […]
In spite of the declarations heard this election that “the cost of education has changed and the ‘old generation’ is out of touch,” the way to pay for education hasn’t changed. Accepting personal responsibility for all your finances, and then properly prioritizing them, is the answer! In August 2012, Bobby Hoyt decided to get serious […]
Another example of liberal media bias. You have to wonder if they hate America when they promote Colin Kaepernick to hero status for protesting police shootings (which they also hype and distort) but completely ignore his endorsement of Fidel Castro. Never mind the actual statistics demonstrating that police shooting is in direct proportion to criminal activity; […]
As expected, the police and whites are being blamed for this summer’s urban unrest – with black lives matter protests turning into riots – including the recent police shootings in Dallas. The accusation is that white cops are doing nothing but running around hunting and shooting upstanding, law-abiding, unarmed black men. Never mind the actual […]
Fifteen Republican Attorneys General just wrote to House and Senate leadership, concerned about agencies “failing to fully consider the effect of their regulations on States and state law.” The July 11 letter never received the media attention gotten by a different set of AGs seeking to terminate the speech and research of those who differ on climate change […]
This discussion is NOT going to stop. Hopefully, it will now be about the issues of Obamacare and not about race. Remember when Oprah stated? “Yeah, I think that there is a level of disrespect for the office that occurs, and that occurs in some cases and maybe even many cases because he’s African American…there […]
