“Saving the world economy from a Great Depression, that was pretty good.” – President Obama
Speaking of his legacy, successes and frustrations at a Youth Town Hall in London on April 23, 2016, the president boasted about his handling of the economy, among other issues and events, during his two terms in office despite miserable growth numbers. Continue reading
While President Obama supports the warming of global temperature scare being foisted upon us by environmentalists, the European financial sector has begun looking at the risks associated with the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. Continue reading
Faithful readers will recall that I went out on a limb for Ohio Governor John Kasich on May 30, in my post, “Kasich for president in 2016.” His success in Ohio, coupled with his experience in the U.S. House, where he was credited with balancing the budget, was persuasive. And we all know the importance of winning Ohio in the general election.… read more
On Monday morning I posted a piece, “Guess who will pay for student loan forgiveness,” for this blog. It had been on my “to do” list since Hillary Clinton began spouting her plan to write-off those loans to win votes.
I wrote how it was a bad idea when the Obama administration took over student loans in 2010, “and a disaster today.”
Lo and behold, that night I read how “President Obama Obama turned a relatively small, privately run, guaranteed student-loan program into a massive government-run disaster,” in Investor’s Business Daily entitled, “Obama’s $1.2 Trillion Student Loan Program Is Falling Apart.”
How nice it feels to be on point with a respected publication. Continue reading

In a sweeping move to cut commercial banks out of the federal loan market, Congress voted to establish still another bureaucracy, ending the 45-year old bank-based program.… read more
What! Has Kramer lost his mind … his conservative credentials?
No, but tell me which of the twenty odd Republican candidates out there is a true conservative? None of them. And none of them are going to get elected repeating what they’ve told us so far.
Is Ohio Governor John Kasich the Republican presidential contender everyone’s overlooking? (newsmax.com)
You’re right. John Kasich hasn’t even declared he’s in the race, and neither has Scott Walker, Jeb Bush and a few others.
I have been giving this piece some thought over the past month, and when I saw he took the tenth spot in the latest Quinnipiac University national poll and heard that his announcement could come on June 30, I figured now is as good of a time as ever. An April Quinnipiac poll revealed Kasich has a 61 per cent approval rating compared to a 29 per cent disapproval.
I’ve personally been impressed with Kasich since 1998 when I heard him give a campaign speech in support of another candidate in Phoenix. There was something about him I liked. He stood there with his shirt sleeves rolled up and no tie. No microphone. His message was straight-forward without clichés. Down to earth and believable. Continue reading
Most likely you’ve heard of Dodd-Frank, formally known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, but haven’t paid much attention to it because you don’t see it affecting you directly.
Without getting into the weeds, I think you should know that the Obama administration – Big Government – has done it again. … read more
