Popular columnist and Nobel prize winner in economics, Paul Krugman, wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in 2016, days after President Trump was elected. In his usual bellicose style, he issued a dire warning about a major global recession “with no end in sight,” because such a stooge was elected. Many of us thought the new president should be given a chance. Now two years later, the US economy has grown at the fastest pace in nearly four years. There are supposedly more jobs than people to fill them! The expansion is broad based. Consumer spending is up, exports are surging and businesses are again investing. Krugman should issue an apology (and explanation) to his readers, for his malicious economic predictions that were so incredibly off the mark.

Note from KBJ: The deranged person in this instance is not the letter writer but Bush-Hatin' Paul Krugman. I haven't read Krugman in years, but he's apparently just as intellectually dishonest as ever.

The Iran sanctions have officially been cast. These are the most biting sanctions ever imposed, and in November they ratchet up to yet another level. Anyone doing business with Iran will NOT be doing business with the United States. I am asking for WORLD PEACE, nothing less!

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

While watching President Trump’s impromptu NATO press conference on July 12, I was struck by the simplicity of a phrase he uttered three times: “I want world peace.” It was a sweet and simplistic statement heard by people who have watched Miss Universe contestant speeches over the years.

Could it be that simple? Have we been over-analyzing Donald Trump and the diabolical plots with Putin that he is programmed to execute from the time he was recruited in 1987 while in Russia with his first wife, as hypothesized in the recent New Yorker magazine? Or, whether he is he [sic] part of a global organization, like the one described in Mark Galeotti’s book, The Vory—Russia’s Super Mafia?

Is this a man who just believes in fairy tales and now that he is in the most powerful position in the world, he can finally realize his dream? Or is he being manipulated by the powers of evil that lurk in our complex world?

Sometimes, people who have deep scars and vision colored by past experiences find it difficult to live in the light.

We do not know the answers to all these questions because Trump discovers fire every day and everyone in his orbit runs around like they are at a three-alarm blaze.

More troubling, however, is the circus that our U.S. House of Representatives has become and the level of ignorance that is displayed at regular intervals during its committee hearings.

But the people can fix this in November.

Before you vote, ask the right questions about the candidates who present themselves for office during our upcoming primary elections.

Vote for the person and the political agenda they espouse. Force our representatives back into the job description in our Constitution.

They represent the people, whether we be Democrat or Republican or no party affiliation.

Cast an educated vote.

Note from KBJ: Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it’s TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!
