The debate. Don't ask who won, ask who failed

The first and quite possibly only debate of the 2024 presidential election season between former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris is in the books. At the conclusion of every presidential debate, the one question that everyone asks and the two campaigns try to control the answer to, is, "Who won the debate?"

Confucius say: Democrats are right to hide Harris

- The Washington Times

That's her particular brand of politicking: spouting off absent care or concern of content -- all the intellectualism of a Chinese fortune in a cookie. Confucius say; Kamala say. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Democrats have it right by keeping her as quiet as possible

Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, left, moderated by ABC's Rachel Scott, speaks at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, July 31, 2024, in Chicago. The backlash against Trump's attack on Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity intensified on Thursday. Democrats expressed new outrage and some Republicans distanced themselves from Trump's comments that Harris only recently "turned Black" for political gain. Harris is of Jamaican and Indian heritage. Trump shrugged off the criticism and doubled down by posting on social media a new picture depicting Harris in traditional Indian garb. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast, File)

Americans need inspiration, not politicization

On any given day, the nation's headlines will look like this: 'Donald Trump says polls showing him lagging are wrong.' 'Kamala Harris says Donald Trump is wrong.' 'Joe Biden says his favorite ice cream flavor is still chocolate chip.' This is not news. This is who-gives-a-freak filler being passed off as news.

Wind turbines: Not green, not reliable

As swimmers enjoy the beach this summer, massive chunks of debris, including sharp fiberglass shards, have been washing ashore on the once-pristine coast of Nantucket island, Massachusetts. The culprit? A single damaged turbine blade that broke off at a nearby wind farm.

Will a Japanese fire sale crash U.S. debt?

Profligate government spending has institutionalized multitrillion-dollar annual deficits, which have driven up interest rates and left Treasury markets teetering on the edge. Now Japan is on the verge of a $400 billion fire sale of U.S. debt. This could break the back of the Treasury market and devastate Americans' finances.
