Middle East Peace

sunbeam September 12, 2020 Comments Off

Is peace in the Middle East at hand? While there have been announcements before about deals that would help provide stability to the region, none of them ever actually panned out. This frustrated Presidents of both parties as well as diplomats and other go-betweens.

The developments of the last month or so show a strong move toward acceptance of Israel as a legitimate country and as a partner on the world stage.

V-Shaped Recovery Continues

sunbeam September 5, 2020 Comments Off

Another 1.4 million jobs were added back in August as the recovery continues unabated. The national unemployment rate dropped to 8.4% from 10.2% in July. Economists were way off once again as they predicted 9.8% for the unemployment rate. See the BLS report here.

Despite the ongoing challenges posed by Communist Democratic governors who refuse to listen to the science, there is good news for the most heavily impacted sectors of the economy: leisure and hospitality. Well over half of those jobs lost have been recovered. In the past four months 3.6 million jobs have been gained in this sector. This is despite the efforts of Governors Cuomo, Murphy, Whitmer and Newsome to lock people out of work. Imagine how much further along the recovery would be if these dictators weren’t obstructing the recovery so that Joe Biden can win the election.

Democrats To Sue Trump Over Tax Cuts

sunbeam August 29, 2020 Comments Off

If you do not understand the headline, it is probably because the media has been ignoring PDJT’s giant tax cut for everyday Americans. That would be a tax cut for the middle class and everyone below them.

By Executive Order President Donald Trump signed an executive action to delay the collection of payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare). He has sought to enact an outright cut throughout the pandemic in an effort to juice worker’s paychecks.

The text of the memorandum says that people earning under $4,000 every two weeks — or under $104,000 yearly — won’t have to pay the tax out of their paychecks from September 1 to December 31.

Goodyear Tire Has A Blowout

Get woke…Go broke. Maybe Goodyear was looking for that coveted Bubba Wallace endorsement.

Goodyear’s stock prices took a tumble this week when it was revealed that Goodyear was allegedly using a diversity training program to promote Black Lives Matter (BLM) and LGBT political activism while censoring other political messages.

COVID-19 Madness

sunbeam August 12, 2020 Comments Off

The Democrats with the help of their media allies have been successful in perpetrating a hysteria about COVID-19. Most recently this has resulted in the announcement by the PAC-12 that they are cancelling their conference’s college football season. Of course, all but two of the schools in the conference are in states ruled by Democratic dictators like California’s Gavin Newsome. Newsome has gone so far as to say that there will be no return to normal until a vaccine is developed to eradicate the illness. Apparently his intent is to inflict as much misery on their residents as possible in hopes of defeating PDJT in November.

There will be never be a vaccine that meets Newsome’s requirements so I guess California colleges can forget about ever again having sports. Right now multiple studies have indicated that as many as 11 strains of the illness are floating around the world. Mutation of the virus is a given and will continue. The most one can expect is something like the flu shot that may or may not protect you from the strain that happens to get going in your area.

Censorship

As noted yesterday, the tech giants are hiding/banning posts about treatments for the coronavirus and the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). This comes despite a reputable recent major study and a new report from a Yale epidemiological expert that verifies the potential efficacy of HCQ.

Dr. Harvey Risch is a Yale epidemiology professor. Dr. Risch has authored over 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently holds senior positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. He authored an op-ed that was published in Newsweek regarding the use of HCQ as an efficacious treatment for COVID-19.

Portland In The Spotlight

sunbeam July 27, 2020 Comments Off

Portland continues to be a source showing everyone in America what is really going on. On Friday, the US Attorney for Oregon announced the arrest of 18 individuals involved in the rioting in downtown. They are charged with a variety of federal offenses ranging from assaulting a federal officer to arson.

In a statement released Friday, Renn Cannon, the Special Agent in Charge at the FBI’s Portland office, said the agency had been helping investigate crimes on federal property in the city.

“Our investigations involve specific violations of federal law, including arson, the use of improvised explosive devices, and interstate transportation of stolen goods.”

Masks Do Not Work

sunbeam July 25, 2020 Comments Off

In California one month after the Governor dictatorially ordered all state residents to wear masks in most settings, the average daily number of new coronavirus cases in the state has increased by over 160%. According to the governor’s order, there is “scientific evidence to suggest that use of cloth face coverings by the public during a pandemic could help reduce disease transmission.” Well at least it said “could” help. Clearly it has not.

Gaslighting

AOC (S-NY) obviously takes most Americans for fools. AOC must believe that, because she is a member of the House, that Americans will hang on her every word for insight and nuance. Recently AOC offered the following for the reason for the skyrocketing crime rate in NYC.
