Unemployment

While every President has their critics in the press, the Trump presidency has been unique in that a massive percentage of the media — hosts, columnists, commentators, contributors, anchors and working reporters — openly mock and disparage the President of the United States, often to the cheers of their brethren.

Was 2020 the worst year ever? The media keep saying that. We did have the pandemic, a bitter election, unemployment, riots and a soaring national debt. But wait, look at the good news, says historian Johan Norberg. His new book, "Open: The Story of Human Progress," points out how life keeps getting better, even if people just don't realize it. 2020 was "the best year in human history to face a…

Leave it to the New York Times blowhard economist Paul Krugman to exploit the pandemic and dance on the imaginary grave on one of his oldest foes: Reaganism.

It’s a cold day in hell when leftist CNN concedes that President Donald Trump actually “won” anything.

People need “immunity passports” if they want the economy reopened.  At least, that’s the crazy idea The Washington Post decided to push.

Despite the fact that President Trump put out a video shortly before Christmas detailing the billions of dollars in wasteful spending going to foreign countries in the COVID relief bill, not to mention the disgust of many Americans at how they only got $600 after being unemployed for nine months, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Sunday Today claimed they couldn’t figure…

Barstool Sports Founder Dave Portnoy exemplified the Christmas spirit by raising millions of dollars to help small businesses suffering under state-imposed lockdowns.

This week, as Los Angeles County announced it would lock down all outdoor dining, a video went viral. That video featured restaurant owner Angela Marsden, proprietor of the Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill, decrying the lockdown policy while pointing to the erection of production catering set up for a Hollywood shoot just a few feet away. "Everything I own is being taken away from me, and they…

One of the first lessons in an economics class is every action has a cost. That is in stark contrast to lessons in the political arena where politicians virtually ignore cost and talk about benefits and free stuff. If we look only at the benefits of an action, policy, or program, then we will do anything because there is a benefit to any action, policy, or program. Think about one simple…

Shark Tank star and businessman Kevin O’Leary ripped apart the draconian economic lockdowns states have inflicted on the American restaurant industry in response to the pandemic.

Some people can't handle success. The latest jobs report shows that despite the pandemic President Trump's policies of lower taxes and reducing regulations continue to work. Raising taxes and imposing regulations, as Joe Biden has pledged to do, has historically had the opposite effect, but there are people who continue to deny the history, believe lies, and appear ignorant of sound economic…

La nueva orden del gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom de paralizar la economía en ese estado, le parece una gran idea a la presentadora de Telemundo Felicidad Aveleyra, quien tildó las restricciones que se avecinan como "necesarias para salvar vidas". No será el bolsillo de la presentadora el que sentirá los estragos de (otra vez) perder un trabajo y ni tampoco sufrirá las restricciones y…

California governor Gavin Newsom's new economic order seems like a great idea to Telemundo anchor Felicidad Aveleyra, who wholeheartedly endorsed the upcoming restrictions as “necessary to save lives.” It's not the anchor's pocket that will feel the pinch of (again) losing a job and remaining restricted and completely isolated at home (the new order prohibits private gatherings of any size).…

On Friday’s Squawk Box, the CNBC panel devolved into chaos with corporate liberals defending “big box retailer[s]” as necessary and worthy of staying open during the worst throws of the coronavirus pandemic whereas other public places must and should remain closed in the name of public safety. While the sentiment on Twitter sided with this blatant discrimination, panelist Rick…
