PETER ROFF: COVID Is Over — But Did We Learn Anything From It?

The Daily CallerMay 7, 20240

The lockdowns instituted during the COVID pandemic were only supposed to last a few days. Remember “14 days to flatten the curve” was all that was needed to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed by patients infected with the rapidly spreading novel coronavirus. Two weeks turned into three, then months. Schools were closed. Businesses were shut down. Commercial activity in the world’s most powerful nation ground almost to a halt, but the virus kept killing, mutating and spreading. States like California and Kentucky enforced the lockdowns with ruthless efficiency. The free exercise of worship and assembly was crushed on the altar

The Daily CallerMarch 15, 20240

MELISSA MELENDEZ And KEVIN KILEY: Learn From California’s Disastrous Contractor Rule Melissa Melendez And Kevin Kiley on March 14, 2024 The Biden administration has taken several pages from California’s playbook over the last three years. The anti-American energy agenda, lax border security policies, and unrestrained budget proposals all look eerily familiar to residents of our state. This trend is especially obvious when it comes to the administration’s war on American workers. Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su — the longest unconfirmed political appointee in history — served as California’s labor secretary before coming to Washington, and she brought her anti-worker ideas

Analysis-Argentina’s Milei must learn political game to make the changes he seeks

ReutersNovember 20, 20230

By Nicolás Misculin BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Argentina’s Javier Milei promised in his first speech as president-elect that there would be “no room for half measures” to revive the country from its worst economic crisis in two decades. But unless he can capitalize on political alliances, half measures may be all he can achieve. The radical libertarian outsider heads a coalition with only limited representation in Congress. As such, he will be forced to negotiate with his new conservative allies and a skeptical Peronist opposition to push forward his agenda. The economist and relative political novice scored a historic win

The Daily CallerJuly 12, 20230

DANIEL MCCARTHY: What American Conservatives Can Learn From Britain’s Bad Example Daniel McCarthy on July 12, 2023 Republicans can only imagine what it would feel like to win four national elections in a row — wielding executive and legislative power for more than a dozen years. Franklin Roosevelt, who died early in his fourth presidential term, had that kind of tenure. He used it to build the modern welfare state. What could conservatives accomplish with an opportunity like that? The answer from across the Atlantic is: not much, if Republicans make the mistakes Britain’s Conservative Party has made since 2010.

ZACK SMITH: Here’s What All Religious Americans Can Learn From The Dodgers’ Pandering To LGBTQ Radicals Zack Smith on June 27, 2023 The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a hate group. There’s no other way to characterize them after listening to what they say and (unfortunately) watching some of their performances.

ReutersApril 12, 20230

By Huw Jones LONDON (Reuters) – The G20’s financial watchdog on Wednesday said rules it introduced after the global financial crisis had prevented contagion from the latest banking sector turmoil, but it would remain vigilant as the outlook has become more challenging.

The willingness of regulators to apply the rules was tested last month as U.S. authorities handled the

PETER ROFF: Here Are Some Key Lessons Republicans Should Learn From Georgia’s Runoff Peter Roff on December 7, 2022 It wasn’t much of a shock to see Raphael Warnock elected to a full, six-year term in the U.S. Senate Tuesday.
