Have nothing to do with the [evil] things that people do, things that belong to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light... [For] when all things are brought out into the light, then their true nature is clearly revealed...

This article appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Thursday, November 28, 2019: 

When he was considering whether or not to sign two bills passed nearly unanimously by Congress strengthening a long-term trade agreement with Hong Kong dating back to 1992, President Trump admitted it was complicated. On Fox News he said, “Look, we have to stand with Hong Kong. But I’m also standing with President Xi. He’s a friend of mine. He’s an incredible guy.”

Xi is also facing a complicated situation at home, as explained in a book that is now influencing American foreign policy with China. That book,

This article was published by The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor on Wednesday, November 27, 2019: 

For at least the last eight presidential elections, Democrats could count on the black vote to carry the day. From Michael Dukakis (1988) through Hillary Clinton (2016), they supported whomever the Democrats nominated by between 85 and 95 percent. In 2016, Clinton received 89 percent to Trump’s eight percent.

Trump’s Approval Ratings Among Blacks Improving in Several Recent Polls

This article appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Tuesday, November 26, 2019:

Until recently President Donald Trump’s approval ratings among black voters were in the low double digits. In July and August, for example, Rasmussen Reports’ approval numbers for the president were in the mid-20s. A recent Economist/YouGov poll had the number at 16 percent among blacks, while a MorningConsult/Politico poll reported 18 percent and Gallup reporting 21 percent support for the president among blacks.

But as the impeachment hearings droned on and on something happened.

This article appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Monday, November 25, 2019: 

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg officially announced his candidacy on Sunday, declaring on his newly-minted website:

I’m running for president to defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America.

 

We cannot afford four more years of President Trump’s reckless and unethical actions. He represents an existential threat to our country and our values. If he wins another term in office, we may never recover from the damage.

This is Bloomberg’s strategy: Ignore the other Democrat candidates vying for their party’s nomination and instead focus on the president and his alleged failures. According to Bloomberg,

Justice Ginsburg Released From Hospital on Sunday

This article appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Monday, November 25, 2019: 

The oldest member of the Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, returned home on Sunday after having been hospitalized on Friday with a fever. A court spokesman said she is at home and “doing well.”

She’ll be 87 in March and has suffered a long series of health issues. Last fall, she fractured three ribs after falling in her office. She has undergone surgery for lung cancer and radiation treatment for pancreatic cancer. This follows surgery she underwent in 2009 for early stage pancreatic cancer and treatment for colon cancer in 1999.

Despite these issues, she is determined to remain active “as long as I can do it full steam,” she said.

She’d also like to outlive Trump’s first term in office so that he can’t nominate someone to replace her. In July 2016, three months before Trump was elected president, Ginsburg told the New York Times: “I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t image what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be … I don’t even want to contemplate that.”

It’s time to contemplate that.

The Next Supreme Court Nominee Better Be Made of Stern Stuff

This article was published by The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor on Monday, November 25, 2019: 

After interviewing more than one hundred people, including President Trump and several Supreme Court justices, authors Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino, in their just-released Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court, warn: “It’s hard to imagine how a confirmation battle could compete with Kavanaugh’s for ugliness.”

But as the war being waged by the progressive left against America ramps up, it’s more than likely to get even uglier. And that’s part of the strategy, say the authors: “Vicious confirmation battles will unfortunately dissuade the best Americans from being considered for the nation’s judiciary … one of Kavanaugh’s colleagues says the process is so tough that it isn’t worth it.”

That next confirmation battle could begin shortly.

Will China’s Slowing Economy Force a Trade Deal With the U.S.?

This article appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Friday, November 22, 2019: 

The underlying assumption in U.S. foreign policy seems to be that by applying pressure economically, China will be forced to agree to a trade deal. Richard Koo, chief economist at Nomura Research Institute, Japan’s largest economic research firm, thinks that policy is working: “I suspect the increasingly pronounced slowdown in China’s economy, coupled with recent employment data pointing to continued strength in the US economy, are putting heavy pressure on China to settle sooner rather than later.”

Koo assumes that the numbers coming out of China are reflective of reality there. At six percent growth per year, China’s economy (using the mathematical Rule of 72) will double every 12 years. If the U.S. economy is growing at two percent annually, its economy will double every 36 years. Simple math dictates that at some reasonably short time in the future, China’s economy will equal that of the United States, with all manner of political ramifications following.

As Michael Pillsbury pointed out in his monumental Hundred-Year Marathon: China’s Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower, the communists running China expect their economy to be

Voter Support for Trump Growing as Impeachment Circus Rolls On

When a bad product is brought to market with much advertising behind it, consumers will quickly reject it, and the product is removed. Think New Coke. Think Corvair. Think Edsel.

Think impeachment.

The Democrats have stepped in it. If they move forward, they will continue to improve the president’s chances for reelection. If they move to impeach, they virtually guarantee it.

The latest polls from Gallup and Marquette prove the point.

The latest poll from Gallup shows Donald Trump to be impervious to the three-ring impeachment circus performing daily in Washington and being covered by a supportive media. As Gallup reported on Wednesday, “Despite days of focus by national and international new media on the impeachment proceedings currently underway in the House of Representatives, President Donald Trump’s job approval rating remains statistically similar to where it has been for weeks. [Our] latest poll failed to show a noticeable impact of the impeachment hearings in Congress on [his] presidential approval.”

A closer look reveals a measurable improvement in his approval rating, with those approving jumping by two points since Gallup’s last poll, and those disapproving falling three points. That’s a swing of five full percentage points in a month.

What Gallup measured but didn’t report was

This article appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Wednesday, November 20, 2019: 

Target, the eighth-largest retailer in the United States, reported blowout sales and profits in the third quarter, a week after Walmart, the country’s largest retailer, reported similar results. Not only is the U.S. consumer alive and well, he is enjoying the benefits of a robust and growing economy.

Target boasts nearly 1,900 stores nationwide, employing more than 360,000 people, and Wall Street has rewarded investors in the company’s stock with gains of nearly 100 percent since just before last Christmas. And 2018 was, according to Target’s CEO Brian Cornell, the “most successful holiday in more than a decade.”

The retailer is expecting this year’s holiday shopping season to exceed last year’s, with gains of between three and four percent over last year’s results.

Specifically,
