Trump’s Critics Dead Wrong (Again) on the Economy
Last week’s blockbuster jobs report, with more than 265,000 jobs added when including upward employment revisions, was very welcome news to almost all Americans. The exception would be the economists of the left who, throughout Donald Trump’s now-five-and-a-half years in the White House, keep getting the economy dead wrong. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index, which tracks factory activity across America, has registered the sector’s fourth straight month of expansion — the best numbers in four years. In sum: America is MAKING things again. If history is any judge, it’s wise to bet on the Trump economy and against his critics — who have a perfect record of being wrong.

Fraud or Not, L.A. Is in Trouble

Any concrete evidence of fraud would be difficult to obtain given California’s refusal to allow a federal audit of its voter rolls.

In the race to connect human brains directly to machines, Beijing has reached the market before Elon Musk managed to deliver his “Neuralink” project. And experts are already sounding the alarm.

Jan Markell: You Can’t Have A Genuine Revival With False Doctrine Raging
