August 13, 2016 will be the 35th anniversary of the largest tax cut in American history: The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. This law is generally credited with beginning the economic boom which carried through the 1990s. Why should we take note of this? Because in an election year, economic theory, history, and promises get thrown about like fish at Seattle’s Pike Place Fish Market. Watch out for fishy facts.

Donald Trump is a confidence man; he has been able to con himself to the top of the financial world. He has associated with the underworld, benefited and survived. He has pulled the wig over the eyes of the world’s greatest charlatans; left them broke and broken while he celebrated the art of the deals. But the thrill in outwitting other gamers is gone for Trump. Trump has reached the point in his career as a huckster where he thinks he can carry out the ultimate scam.

To paraphrase an old campaign slogan of that other famous Clinton: "It's credibility, stupid."

Many political events, TV channels, and magazines claim to be non-partisan and “fair,” but few achieve it or even mean it. Politicon, billing itself as the unconventional political convention, actually means it and achieves it. The result is a stimulating and entertaining event for political junkies.

They've missed the point, the pundits. Donald Trump's supporters think of him as the one man in America who can stall the coming demographic shift in America and maybe even halt it altogether.

America has reached a fork in the road. One way leads to the second Civil War – this time divided by race.

Now one wonders which flag Cruz is most loyal to.

If no one else offers a solution to radical Islam, then Donald Trump will remain the only one who has.

Oil is thicker than water and the World Cup runneth over.
