Do any of these candidates really get China?

The eight Republican candidates on the debate stage in Milwaukee Wednesday evening called out a long list of problems facing the country. Immigration, the economy and federal spending were at the top of the lists for most of the debate participants. Some time, but not a lot, was spent talking about China. But drill down into many of the problems that the country is currently facing and when you get to the bottom you are...

Dangerous ground.

Until such time as the justice system’s asymmetric treatment of Donald Trump as compared to Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden is addressed, there is zero chance that prosecutors will have the country behind them in criminally prosecuting a former president.

If your last name is Biden or Clinton, you enjoy the exclusive benefits of the Department of Justice’s Concierge Justice System.

The big question that won’t go away.

Is this the best we can do?

Biden said he wasn’t going to give an inch and Speaker McCarthy made him give a couple of feet. (It was nowhere close to a mile.) But it all comes at the cost of raising the U.S. debt ceiling by $4.0 trillion.
