    Trump should fire Jerome Powell

    Legacy media have been obsessing over whether President-elect Donald Trump can remove Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve (the Fed). Jerome Powell recently came out and stated he would serve out his term – which ends in 2026. Further, Chairman Powell claims any attempt by President Trump to remove him is not “permitted under the law.” Unfortunately for Chairman Powell, President-elect Trump can remove him – and he should – to make the federal bureaucracy respond to democratic pressures once again.

    The Biden administration’s “Justice40” for diversity, equity, and inclusion; the spending on matters unrelated to natural disasters or tied up in endless projects going nowhere; federal contracts to help rural America canceled – add up to an unsavory “politics of disaster relief,” according to the Government Accountability Institute.

    Our elections are not OK
    Let’s act to close the gaping security holes so we can spend more time debating the issues rather than paying hundreds of lawyers. Our great country deserves a great election system. It is within our power to make it happen in 2025.

    Democrats still don’t get it
    Harris told us her values have not changed. In their reactions, most Democrats are making clear that theirs too have not changed. If they continue to troll Americans as garbage, deplorables, misogynist and racist, it is unclear how they expect things to improve for them.

    Everyday Economics: Could inflation return with a vengeance?
    The latest inflation report, however, paints a more stubborn picture. While inflation made a dramatic comeback in the 1970s, this time might be different. Rising productivity could help mitigate inflationary pressures, as sustained improvements in productivity can restrain price growth.

    Everyone else is also observing your life and choosing to believe what they want to believe. No matter whether they have checked the story with you or not. I imagine you would appreciate those around you holding their tongue until they hear the truth from the horse’s mouth. Instead of choosing to believe the worst.

    As President Donald Trump returns to the White House, Canada’s government faces a new set of challenges on defense and security. Unlike his first term, when Trump’s focus was largely on NATO’s European members, this time around Canada is likely to find itself squarely in his crosshairs.
