The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) appears to be offering a deal to the nation: prosperity in exchange for remaining in power.

In an attempt to secure vast amounts of wealth and influence over society, corporations, bankers, and investors, working closely with key government officials, have launched a unified effort to impose environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards on most of the industrialized global economy. (ESG standards are also often referred to as “sustainable investment” or “stakeholder […]

Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this political battle over the budget, the shutdown conflict is undermining the foundations of the uniparty because a small group of Republicans has finally decided to act as reformers instead of conservatives.

Perhaps the worst portion of Dodd-Frank - was the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is perhaps the most massive of the Dodd-Frank regulatory impositions on the banking sector. Oh - and the CFPB is totally unconstitutional because it purports to be an “independent agency.”

Overall, any substantial benefits to the taxpayers in the form of property tax reductions would be overshadowed by long-term tax increases. As a good rule of thumb, if any liberal politician is pushing for “tax reform” it would inevitably take money out of taxpayers’ wallets. Proposition HH is, in fact, a wolf in sheep’s clothing for the rights the Colorado taxpayers have exercised since the implementation of TABOR.

Congress, and the Republican-led House of Representatives in particular, controls the nation’s purse strings. With this being the case, it is imperative that the GOP play hardball concerning the looming budget showdown.

As Big Gov and Big Biz settled ever more comfortably into bed together, Big Gov’s laws and regulations became more and more nakedly helpful for Big Biz - at the expense of everyone else.

While Americans grapple with stubborn inflation brought on by overspending and the bottlenecking of energy production, consumers and voters need to be aware that freight rail isn’t the boogeyman.

If citizens can vote on debt at the state and local level, why shouldn’t they have the power to vote on debt at the federal level as well?

We need a leader in the White House who is willing to come clean with the American people about our out-of-control spending and debt accumulation. Sadly, President Biden does not appear to be up for that task.

Sounds like China is teaming up with just about everyone on the planet - except US.  And it means a whole lot - to a whole lot.

We did not need trillions in Federal spending to end the COVID recession, just governments to allow commerce again.

According to Biden, “The Inflation Reduction Act -- I wish I hadn’t called it that, because it has less to do with reducing inflation than it does to do with dealing with providing for alternatives that generate economic growth.”

When you’ve built a financial information and media empire and become the world’s seventh richest person, you get to say dumb things.

In Biden’s America, more than 1 in 3 households are struggling to pay their bills.

According to Vice President Kamala Harris, “Bidenomics” is a wild success. And she is not the only one suggesting this.

Dodd-Frank made Wall Street and big banks more powerful, not consumers.

As always, the people hardest hit by DC’s perpetual crony-fest? We the Little Guys.

The Joe Biden Administration’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is completely out of control.

Little did we know that our plan to stimulate job growth and innovation would be subject to abuse by giant tech companies.

Economists debate whether typical Americans are better off now than fifty years ago.
