Donald Trump's new treasury secretary is considered a fiscal hawk who will cut whatever it takes to get the national debt under control -- a debt that now exceeds $36 trillion. But it's a promise we've heard before. EVERY president says it has to be done. And yet, it never is. Which is why every four years or so, I dig this song out of the archives…

The internet continues to analyze the election, but look at this – a CBS News poll shows close to 60% of Americans, including some Democrats, approve of how Trump is handling the transition. And the more I read the post-election analysis, the more I’m convinced voters weren’t just voting for a change – they were voting for a hormone.…

Accountability is expensive -- now more than ever -- especially in this new media age where opinion is far cheaper to produce and digging up the facts. This past election showed the line between traditional journalism and opinion is becoming increasingly blurred.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a great headline, and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s challenge/threat to Republicans is significant political theater. Sadly, it's also pretty disturbing. To catch you up, Greene posted on the social platform X the following message to her Republican colleagues in the House and Senate: "If we are going to release…

It’s hard to communicate uncertainty, especially when the weather has a mind of its own. That’s why Charlie feels for Seattle meteorologists right now. They’re trying their best to predict a storm that’s as fickle as, well, Seattle weather. And they know that if they get it wrong, people will be cranky tomorrow, accusing them of hyping something up…

The postmortem on the Harris campaign is underway, and here’s a number that stands out. According to The Washington Examiner, nearly $4 million went to a firm called Village Marketing. Their mission? Pay thousands of social media influencers to hype up Harris and tear down Trump. Now, at that point, can we still call them influencers or paid propag…

Exit polls show the top issue for voters this cycle was the economy. President Biden’s pointed out that America has the best economy in the world, comparatively speaking. And from a detached perspective, sure, maybe that’s true. It’s been hard everywhere.

Governor Jay Inslee -- the state's most powerful Democrat -- proudly proclaimed yesterday that all statewide offices are now held by Democrats. He claimed the last time that happened was when Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was president 80-something years ago.

Tomorrow is Election Day – that’s what the calendar says. But there are two problems with the term "Election Day." No. 1, we now have many election days, because people have been voting for weeks. No. 2, we have developed this expectation that, in addition to being Election Day, it should also be the day we find out who won. And this is at the hear…

This time next week, we should have some sense of where the election is going. Instead of polls, we will be looking at the ballots counted thus far.
