Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been known for planting questions at campaign stops on several occasions. At times Mrs. Clinton simply played dumb regarding the situation, and at other times she played dumb but assured voters that it would not happen again. Yet there were continued reports of it happening again and again. Now it appears either Hillary has finally taken "the bull" by the horns or that she is running low on staff.

SWF no longer
stands for "Single White Female". Try "Sovereign Wealth Fund."

What is a
Sovereign Wealth Fund? SWF’s are like a giant wad of cash for
the country that runs them. They are government controlled and operated,
composing about $3 trillion in worldwide capital. The important
distinction here: SWF’s are not groups of wealthy investors. They are
government-owned, government-controlled, government-operated funds used to buy
assets and bring them under the control of the owners.

Announced: Iran has stopped billing its
oil exports in dollars.

Iran’s oil minister, Gholam
Hossein Nozari, declared, "The dollar is an unreliable currency in regards
to its devaluation and the loss oil exporters have endured from this
trend." Iran has proposed to OPEC
that the U.S. dollar no longer be used by any oil-exporting countries. As the
oil emirates and the Saudis have already decided to reduce their holdings of
U.S. dollars, the United States might actually find
itself having to pay for its energy imports in euros or yen.

Kathleen Casey-Kirschling is the most important woman in America who is not a household name. Born a mere tick of the clock after the stroke of midnight on January 1, 1946, she will begin to receive benefits in January. She represents the first of her generation, the Baby Boomers, to retire. To those taxpayers who will support her in her golden years, the feelings that arise upon hearing this news most definitely include anxiety, for Social Security is likely to become very insecure in coming years.

Lately there has been jibber jabber on blogs
about Mike Huckabee
and his church’s so-called oppressive view of women. As a married member of a church affiliated
with the Southern Baptist Convention, the liberal view of my oppression is news
to me.

Hubris and
arrogance are too ensconced in Washington for policymakers to be
aware of the economic policy trap in which they have placed the U.S. economy.

Should you
ignore and or forget everything else written here, remember this: The U.S. trade deficit will
close when foreigners cease to finance it, or when our elected officials find
the guts to do something about our failed trade policies!

As the actual primary season approaches, both national frontrunners are stumbling, leaving room for new possibilities in the presidential race. For the first time in a long while, the general election does not seem destined to become a subway series. In fact, there might not even be one of the two New Yorkers left in the race by the time of the conventions. As for Mrs. Clinton’s situation in particular, it is difficult not to view her recent decline in the early primary states with a certain degree of schadenfreude, but wait. Conservatives ought not to be so quick to root against her, for the time being.

The liberal tolerance of all religions with the exception of Christianity and Judaism has never been more apparent than it is today.
