The American political theater has once again produced another show worthy of our intrigue. The Senate narrowly passed President Trump’s massive tax and spending bill Tuesday after a near-endless series of amendment votes that lasted more than 24 hours, delivering what appeared to be a significant victory for the president and bringing the signature piece […]
While visiting the Ford School of Public Policy, Former Mayors Lori Lightfoot and Jenny Durkan gave their advice to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass while criticizing L.A. Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley. The two mayors were speaking on a panel hosted by University of Michigan Law School Professor Barbara McQuade called “Governing in time of […]
In case anyone hadn’t noticed, a rather important election was held just two days ago in the United States, with that being the 2024 presidential election. This is not to say the other races were unimportant, but the focal point was certainly lasered onto the race between Vice President Harris and President Trump (now President-elect […]
Remember Joe Biden? I vaguely remember him, besides his argument with former President Trump about golf (Trump would win, by the way). If you compared Kamala after September’s debate to Biden’s “debate,” it’s night and day. Trump and Vance are both underwater in their favorability.

The U.S. presidential debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump was certainly highly anticipated. Following the poor debate performance of President Biden at the June 27th debate and his subsequent decision to drop out three weeks later, Vice President Harris became the presumptive, and eventual nominee for the Democratic Party.

From the very start of the Biden administration, the proposal for unity made its way into the Democrats’ ultimate goal. They claim that all they want now is to unify with their fellow brothers and sisters under one administration that will set us all free of systemic racism, white male oppression, a horrible pandemic, and […]
The dust is not settled and the worst is not behind us. Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination hearing showed us exactly what happens when the primal rage of the Democratic Party mob is unleashed. That Kavanaugh’s hearing smacked more of an X-rated “High School Musical,” than a picture of the world’s “greatest deliberative body” is only […]
Our country has become politically cannibalistic. In the halls of power, there is polarization to such an extent the two parties barely vote in concert on anything. The rhetoric has gotten so heated, Democrats are hedging their bets they can take back the House with threats to impeach President Trump. Mind you, not for any […]
On Monday, March 19th, American Enterprise Institute (AEI) Scholar Dr. Mark Perry gave a talk at the Ross School of Business entitled “Free Trade and the Perils of Protectionism.” It was organized by the University of Michigan AEI Executive Council and the Adam Smith Society Chapter at the University of Michigan.
