Haley: Defective Don is Always a Better Choice

From the Wall Street JournalNikki Haley — who ran against Donald Trump in this year’s GOP presidential primaries — reminds voters that Tuesday’s election “is not a referendum” on himbut a “choice between him and Kamala Harris”. She disagrees with Trump “100%” but shares his views “most of the time” – but never those of Kamala Harris. “No politician does everything right,” notes Haley. But “for those of us clear-eyed enough to see Mr. Trump’s flaws and honest enough to recognize them, the question is whether we are better off with his policies or those of his opponent.” On taxes, spending, inflation, immigration, energy and national security, the candidates are far apart.” And “Trump is clearly the best choice.”

Right to Right: Trump is the obvious choice for Jews

“Recent poll shows former President Donald Trump at historic high among American Jews” and the reasons are obvious. Max Eden and Josh Hammer tell the Washington Examiner. Kamala Harris “did not categorically disavow the anti-Semitic protesters who invaded college campuses last year.” She considered “choosing Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) as her running mate,” but relented when “the far left pounced on him for” serving in the Israeli military. Furthermore, “the support for Trump among Orthodox Jews is staggering. They “know there is massive pressure from the far left to pack the Supreme Court,” which could limit religious freedom. “If your North Star is fighting anti-Semitism and securing the future of the Jewish people, it really shouldn’t be a choice. »

Libertarian: a moment of disinformation on CNN

“When mainstream Democrats express clearly incorrect statements, they are rarely labeled as misinformation. » says Robby Soave of Reason. This “was perfectly illustrated during a CNN panel on Sunday” where “Maria Cardona, a Democratic strategist,” claimed that the Charlottesville march was “spurred and inspired by the words out of the former president’s mouth “, then, when challenged, claimed that Trump “went out there and said both sides were good people.” “These claims,” Soave notes, “are demonstrably false.” “Trump’s rhetoric has not cause a group of white nationalists to organize” the rally, and he “said that neo-Nazis and white nationalists ‘should be totally condemned’.” numbers. » And Cardona aired his misinformation during a panel on “how malicious lies spread by right-wing actors are eroding trust in American democracy.”

Looking at Britain: a real leader at last

Kemi Badenoch is “the first black person to lead a major party in Britain. And the left is not happy. Ravens Brendan O’Neill from Spiked. “Kemi could be the cultural warrior we’ve been waiting for,” ready to “confront” the wokists who have thrown “biological truth” and “our own national history onto their vanity pyre.” “She championed the right of young gay men to discover their sexuality without being injected with puberty-blocking drugs or mutilated with surgery to ‘fix’ their ‘bad’ bodies.” “She challenged the fashionable idea that Britain is ‘institutionally racist’.” She stands with Israel. “Will it wage the culture war with the clarity and firmness it requires? That remains to be seen. But I wish him good luck.

Retirement Beat: Biden-Harris Imperil Pensions

Under a new rule from the Department of Labor, pensions and retirement “plan managers will be able to invest your money without your consent to achieve their political, social or ideological goals” growls David R. Burton at The Hill. But raising their “progressive and social goals” guarantees “lower returns and less retirement income for plan beneficiaries.” To “reverse the politicization of these retirement savings plans,” the House and Senate “adopted resolutions of disapproval.” Congress has long made clear its intent “that ERISA retirement plans be managed by fiduciaries solely for the benefit of retirees.” Hopefully the courts will enforce Congress’s intent.
