Our Endorsement in 2024 Presidential Elections: Donald J Trump for President

Published: Oct 24, 2024 We need to start by asking ourselves the following questions: This angst was reflected in GOP primaries in the last few months where Donald J Trump has surprised the establishment, and the biased Mainstream Media, by winning the Republican nomination. We feel that Donald J Trump is going to be the solution to our problems which can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. The Economy:  President Biden took over an economy that was already recovering strongly from the Covid-induced shock of 2020. Demand and employment had recovered but the Biden Administration chose to keep

Senator Kamala Harris Nomination as running mate in the Biden / Harris Ticket – An intriguing pick – Our Observations

We are now getting ready to kick off the 2020 Presidential Campaign in earnest and the stage is now set with former VP Biden nominating Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate yesterday. This is an intriguing pick and our observations are as follows: There was a lot of excitement in the African-American community with VP Biden and his staff making bold predictions that he was going to choose an African-American woman as his running mate. However, now many “true multi-generational African Americans” who are peers or descendants of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr do not consider Sen. Kamala Harris

Well Played Mr. President!

Posted May 29, 2020 President Trump’s today issued an Executive Order to address the issue of “Online Censorship” by Social Media “Big Tech” companies. In our opinion, this is a great first step in enforcing “fairness” in Social Media content moderation. Section 230 of Communication Decency Act, also known as “Internet Law” provides a framework for Internet operation granting broad immunity to platforms (such as Twitter) that curate and moderate content from lawsuits. This protection is predicated on tech platforms operating in “good faith” failing which these entities lose their “legal immunity” making them open to litigation. However, in

“To Raise or not to Raise (Rates) is the Question….” – Conundrum facing the Fed this month

Published December 10, 2018 “To Raise or not to Raise (Rates) is the question…”  – would best describe Federal Reserve’s position, if we were to apply the Bard of Avon’s immortal quote from Hamlet, to the likelihood of hiking the Interest Rate in their December 19 FOMC Meeting. Trade war fears along with the specter of a possible economic slowdown have sent markets down significantly in the last couple of weeks. Consequently, it is reported by CME that Investors currently see a 73.2% chance of a rate hike following the December Fed meeting, while a week ago, the probability for

Confrontation with North Korea – Deja Vu?

Published Aug 12, 2017: This week we had another, by all accounts, successful ICBM Test by North Korea aka DPRK (Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea), which makes it two in a row. This coupled with separate successful Nuclear Tests in earlier years, has “upped the ante” in in the Korean Peninsula and now has the potential to cross some dangerous “red lines”.  It can now be surmised that North Korea is probably working on “miniaturizing” the nuclear warheads to mount them on the cone of the ICBM to perform “integrated tests” of the entire ICBM system in coming months. If / when DPRK

Welcome….. President Elect Trump to the Oval Office…You have a Historic Mandate from the American People

Published earlier in Dec 2016 in my earlier Blog – Ported here in Aug 2017: We are very optimistic that election of President-Elect Trump to the highest office of our country, is a great watershed moment, akin to a breath of fresh air. He truly heard the angst of the American middle class, not merely listened to them as others have done in the past, and the American People repaid him in kind, by electing him to be our President. The “Trump Wave” also resulted in the people giving him a clear mandate with control of both the Senate and House
