  • Everyday Economics: Fed rate cuts ahead, but perhaps not by much

  • Violators of space, time, view and peace 
    Even the “freedom loving” Democrats know the average person likes things neat and orderly. This week, at the United Center, they kept the area inside where the cameras were neat and orderly. This despite the chaos less than 200 feet away outside their double- fenced sanctuary and their anything goes attitude. What hypocrites. And shame on the media for colluding with them.

  • The tale of two conventions
    The Democrats’ backroom politics guarantee a continuity of the same failed policies that have frustrated Americans and made life harder. The Republican Party is listening to people and changing. The Democratic Party is using machine tactics to avoid change and maintain power.
  • Tangled comparisons: Renewables versus fossil fuels

    Under the Biden-Harris administration, there have been 10 million illegal border crossings, the most ever recorded in U.S. history. Vice President Harris has taken no decisive steps to close our southern border and has put millions of American lives in danger.
  • Bidenomics hurting back-to-school season
    August is one of the busiest times of year with parents gearing up to send their children back to school. It’s a time of excitement though, with the promise of new beginnings and fresh routines. The Mullin family is all too familiar with this season, as we now have three kids in college and three in middle and high schools in Oklahoma.
