An Unusual Approval
Arguably one of the smartest men on Wall Street, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, not a conservative, warned Biden and Democrats against continued demonization of Trump and MAGA voters, suggesting it could backfire on them.

NOTE: Before I offer my commentary on matters political, I want to thank you for your indulgence in my recent blogs on the University of Michigan football team. It was a great year for the maize and blue, beating Ohio State again, defeating Iowa in the Big Ten Championship game, the semi-playoff victory over Alabama, and Monday’s defeat of the Washington Huskies to become the National Champions of college football.… read more
