Andy Puzder, RealClearMarkets Once again, Democrats are trying to attribute President Trump’s economic success to President Obama—and their claims are no truer than they’ve ever been. Joe Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, claimed last month that Trump “inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden” and “ran it straight into the ground.”The media parrot these claims. NBC ran an article in support of Harris’s claim entitled “Data show Trump didn’t build a great economy. He inherited it.” The... |

Sen. Marco Rubio, Examiner News reports this past month made clear that the future of Chinese-owned app TikTok is set to change dramatically for users in the United States. People have grown rightfully suspicious of the app's shady behavior, which includes collecting data from millions of users before sending it abroad.

It could be used by the Chinese intelligence apparatus to target people for espionage, coercion, or data collection. |

Ethan Yang, American Institute for Economic Research “The rights guaranteed in the Constitution are not there merely for decoration and warm feelings, nor can we expect the very entity they serve to limit, the state, to protect them for us.

David Sussman, RCM In the age of Covid-19 and one of the most divided electorates in modern history, when statistics, facts and the mainstream media are distrusted at unprecedented levels, how does one determine what is and isn’t true? Last week President Trump celebrated the 8.4% U.S. unemployment rate, which surprised even some of his most ardent critics. Keep in mind; in June the Federal Reserve predicted the unemployment rate would fall to 9.3% by the end of 2020. So it’s safe to say 8.4% by the end of August was well beyond expectations. |

Barry Eichengreen, Project Syndicate The most dangerous phase of the COVID-19 crisis in the US may actually be now, not last spring. If the economy falters a second time, whether because of inadequate fiscal stimulus or flu season and a second COVID-19 wave, it will not receive the additional monetary and fiscal support that protected it in the spring. |
