PROGRAMMING ALERT: Watch Peter Navarro discuss this topic and more in the noon hour EST on Sunday, Dec. 14 on “America’s News HQ” on Fox News Channel. Two strong trade deals, plus one strong deal on defense and parental leave, plus two weak impeachment articles, plus one inspector general’s report vindicating no one equals a very good week for the American people and President Trump. After the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA) gathered political dust on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s impeachment desk for over a year, the California Democrat finally agreed to let House members vote on the measure. Through tough regional content rules and strict labor and environmental provisions, USMCA is forecast to create over 75,000 new auto … [Read more...] about Peter Navarro: Trump wins major victories in China and USMCA trade deals, defense spending and Space Force

Growing up in the Bay Area, See’s Candies was always around: a box wrapped in red-and-gold paper nestled under the Christmas tree, an assortment of truffles unveiled at the end of a dinner party, a butterscotch lollipop just because. At a certain point, it disappeared from my family’s house. We discovered new artisanal chocolates from small producers. Some looked like vividly colored jewels, others were filled with exciting flavors like passion fruit or jasmine tea. Single-origin chocolates began to appear. They grew darker and darker, more and more bitter. When I started working at a different newspaper a few years ago, I was amazed to find a thriving culture of See’s Candies. Every winter, the production manager would bring in more than a dozen pounds of See’s for the office to share, unleashing a festively competitive spirit as we tried to snag each box’s lone Bordeaux, the See’s best-seller filled with brown sugar buttercream and coated in … [Read more...] about A celebration of See’s Candies

Now Playing: Shortly after the House Judiciary Committee voted to approve two articles of impeachment against him, President Donald Trump called the proceedings a "scam" and a "hoax." Still, he said impeachment is "very good for him politically." (Dec. 13) Video: Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — This coming week’s virtually certain House impeachment of President Donald Trump will underscore how Democrats and Republicans have morphed into fiercely divided camps since lawmakers impeached President Bill Clinton.

Two of the four Clinton impeachment articles were killed — something party leaders today would jump through hoops to avoid for fear of … [Read more...] about Trump impeachment vote underscores a harshly partisan era

WASHINGTON - As the House Judiciary Committee convened Friday to approve articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, a watch party got underway in a private Facebook group that rallies its more than 75,000 members around the banner, "THE TRUMP DEPLORABLES." The comments that streamed forth in the group illustrate how Trump's most ardent supporters have fashioned alternative realities for themselves - as well as for Republican lawmakers aiming to turn the charge of corruption back on those investigating the president. The feed - from Fox News, a major source of news for the president's supporters - showed the same scene available to viewers tuning in on various networks all over the country. But in the online enclave where the self-described "deplorables" had gathered to watch the committee vote, Democrats are the lawbreakers who "should be impeached," as one viewer wrote. Trump's word is truth. And the federal employees who question his version of events are not just … [Read more...] about Fact-based impeachment can’t penetrate the pro-Trump Web
