THE POWER OF THE MEDIA

THE POWER OF THE MEDIA The Media is a very powerful institution. No argument can be made otherwise. However, the power of the Media has increased greatly since the days of our founders. The Media at that time was not what it is today because of the various forms of modern news/entertainment.

Consumer confidence in economy dips slightly over worries inflation will outpace wage gains

Consumer confidence in economy dips slightly over worries inflation will outpace wage gains Context is key here. Late last year, consumer confidence hit a record high of 101.4 in the aftermath of Trump’s election and the expectation of the tax cut/reform that ultimately happened. Since then, we’ve seen record low unemployment and wage increases – which you’d expect in a tight labor market when employers are dying to find qualified people to fill open jobs.

Memorial Day Parade in Trump Country USA

A year ago, Mary and I moved from Florida to Paw Paw, West Virginia (population 500) to be near our parents. Saturday was our first Paw Paw Memorial Day parade; patriotic Americana at its best. Both sides of Main street were adorned with flags – Old Glory proudly flying high waving in the breeze. The refreshing sound of Paw Paw school marching band's excellent rendition of “America the Beautiful” filled the air. Remember the New York school principal who banned “God Bless the USA” on one occasion and “Stand Up for the Red, White and Blue” on another? A leftist judge upheld a California school banning students from wearing American flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo. Administrators claimed American flag shirts would inflame the passions of Latino students celebrating their Mexican holiday.

Starbucks: Virtue Signaling Public Potty Chain Also Serves Coffee

Starbucks: Virtue Signaling Public Potty Chain Also Serves Coffee Following Starbucks' corporate announcement that anyone can use the store's restrooms, even without buying anything, I posted on Twitter: "Starbuck's: A national public bathroom chain which serves mediocre espresso coffee topped with a frothy whip of white privilege, and an extra shot of millennial attitude."

The Incalculable Cost of Insurance

The Incalculable Cost of Insurance I am that guy. Yes, I am the individual who put together the Trump Campaign national advisory committee on national security and foreign policy. Yes, I am the one who recruited Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. Yes, I have given countless hours of testimony to a four-pack of investigations.

The Rousing of America: A Memorial Day Tribute

The Rousing of America: A Memorial Day Tribute Memorial Day is a time for remembering those that died while serving our country. And so we shall. But this year, let's also remember the multitude of Americans that have and are dedicating themselves to the restoration of this great nation...the people that have placed themselves on the front lines of a battle for our very existence from those that would destroy our country as founded - the Conservative writers, speakers, radio and TV news analysts, parents that monitor school curriculum, citizens that attend town hall meetings, veterans, and all the dependable voters who refuse to buy into liberal, anti-American theology.

Bullet dodged: Michigan offered Amazon $4 billion in tax breaks to locate second headquarter

Bullet dodged: Michigan offered Amazon $4 billion in tax breaks to locate second headquarter . . . got turned down Four billion dollars, huh? Let’s see, I’m one of about 9 million people who live in Michigan, but one of only about 3.8 million heads of household here. Rob is another. That would put each of us on the hook for about $1,000. That’s quite an offer for a company that would have added 50,000 jobs, especially when the governor is so concerned about the weakness of our workforce he’s spending $100 million on a “Marshall Plan” in the hope he can get people who already live here qualified for the jobs we have now.

Democrats Undermining Black Civil Rights Heroes’ Legacy

Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., and Paul Robeson My four younger siblings and I have been taking turns caring for our 90-year-old Dad who is in home hospice. After checking on Dad sleeping in his bedroom, I visited Dad's office in the basement. Hung on the walls are numerous citations from governors and mayors, pastoral awards and service awards from civic organizations which tell the extraordinary tale of Dr. Rev. Lloyd E. Marcus' life.

WAIT AND SEE

Trump’s Art of the DealThere is a linguistic connection between the words Wait, Expect, Hope, and the term Wish for. In fact, many Romance languages (languages with Latin in their background) use the same word for these terms. In languages like Spanish, French, Portuguese Italian, etc. (Esperar, Sperare, Espere...) The intended meaning is found in context, most of the time.

NFL OWNERS FINALLY LISTEN TO THE FANS

NFL OWNERS FINALLY LISTEN TO THE FANS After a year of intense controversy concerning player protests during the National Anthem, the NFL finally decided to act. At the spring NFL owners meeting this week, a decision was made to require players to “stand and show respect” during the National Anthem if they are on the playing field. Otherwise, players will be given the option to remain in the locker room. If players or club personnel on the field show disrespect during the National Anthem by not standing, their team will be fined by the NFL.

Cellphone Misadventure – They Track You Anyway

Cellphone Misadventure – They Track You Anyway I go to the “slug” line, a little busier than usual. I fumble for my iPhone and drop it carelessly in my pocket as a white non-descript SUV pulls up. The driver indicates that I sit behind her, a move against safety protocol. It is a very crowded back bench with a child’s seat and assorted junk stacked high, obviously a rushed attempt at cleaning this morning. I listen to my usual podcast with my head-set on.
