At the moment, the American economy is really two economies. One is chugging along at a respectable rate of GDP growth, with the stock market up by more than 25 percent since December and unemployment at its lowest level in 50 years.

From Rayburn to Pelosi to interesting questions

From Rayburn to Pelosi to interesting questions

Times change, norms change, politicians with different standards come and go, and it's all for the better, except maybe not, especially when you are talking about two Democratic speakers of the U.S. House of Representatives. They're interesting comparisons, Sam Rayburn of years ago and Nancy Pelosi of today, and maybe what's different about them gives us insight into our own ...

Tribute to Trump's rescuer

Tribute to Trump's rescuer

As America's House impeachment inquiry gains verifying evidence, we are pausing today to recognize the one person who apparently single-handedly saved President Donald Trump from himself.

China's cutting-edge technology looms large

China's cutting-edge technology looms large

One of the first things I learned on my current trip to Beijing is that foreigners are marooned if they don't have a Chinese bank account.That's because China, a global leader in e-commerce, has become a nearly cashless society.

Hugs won't defeat Mexican drug cartels

Hugs won't defeat Mexican drug cartels

Phooey on Trump tweets. That's what I usually say, but not the other day when utterly sickening, demonic, drug-smuggling gunmen killed nine Americans in northern Mexico. The victims included twin babies and mothers trying desperately if futilely to save the lives of other children from an assault of the kind that took 36,000 Mexican lives last year.
