Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It’s been a rocky few weeks for one of the most stable relationships in cable news. As the animus grows between Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch and President Donald Trump, so do the rumors that they will one day be competitors in the market for conservative news. If Trump actually wanted to start a media business, he’d presumably have to make a significant investment, which could be challenging, given his current lack of liquidity and pile of debt. Competing with Murdoch would be even tougher. Sure, Trump previously made some money in television. But the vast majority of his $2.5 billion fortune comes from real estate, the business his father taught him. Murdoch, who started with less than the President, is now worth nearly eight times as much, $19 billion, with a media empire that circles the globe. Murdoch’s story begins with just a single local newspaper in Adelaide, Australia, which he inherited from his … [Read more...] about Here’s How Rupert Murdoch Became Eight Times Richer Than Donald Trump

DONALD TRUMP JR: Trump’s Enduring SCOTUS Legacy
The Supreme Court just handed down a resounding defeat for gun-grabbing liberals in New York. And Donald Trump made it happen. President Trump molded the voice of the nation’s highest judicial body for a generation. His confirmations to the Supreme Court have protected the nation’s most sacred and fundamental rights from left-wing judicial activists and radical legislative bodies. One of those bodies seemingly hellbent on curbing the rights of Americans is the state of New York. Your constitutional rights as an American should not end at your doorstep. They should not change based on your zip code or where in America you were born. New York state doesn’t believe that’s true. In fact, they think your rights are like a light switch, one they can turn on or off as it suits them. If they could, they’d shut off the Second Amendment entirely, in a heartbeat. For them, it’s less like the Bill of Rights and more like the Bill of Options. In April, a crazed maniac shot and wounded 10 … [Read more...] about DONALD TRUMP JR: Trump’s Enduring SCOTUS Legacy
Federal Reserve Is Losing Asia Faster Than In 1994
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Memories of the Federal Reserve’s 1994 tightening cycle still tend to trigger financial PTSD here in Asia. Under the direction of then-Chairman Alan Greenspan, the Fed doubled short-term interest rates in just 12 months. The ferocity of the moves racked up some serious collateral damage: Mexico’s economic meltdown; the bankruptcy of Orange County, California; the death of 129-year-old bond dealer Kidder, Peabody & Co.; and developing Asia. It took a few years, but the dollar’s powerful rally in response to higher U.S. rates made currency pegs in Bangkok, Jakarta and Seoul impossible to maintain. The resulting devaluations in 1997 set the region back decades in terms of living standards and economic confidence. Now, the Jerome Powell-led Fed seems set to outdo the worst of the Greenspan era. Not because of the magnitude of the rate hikes Team Powell might engineer, but because of how far it’s fallen behind the … [Read more...] about Federal Reserve Is Losing Asia Faster Than In 1994

Wade on Friday, and claimed the decision was “only made possible because I delivered everything as promised”—taking credit for a ruling decided partly by Trump-appointed justices.

Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
