Thanksgiving is really a holiday that allows us all, if only for a day, to stop what we're doing and consider the wonderful people in our lives and the opportunities we have, and have had.
Trish Regan
Capitalism - for the record - has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system in the world.
Thanksgiving, for me, is a time for reflection.
Think about it: Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, North Korea, the former Soviet Union - they all start with the intention of leveling the playing field - or making things better for the little guy - and instead, they created misery, poverty, destruction and a permanent ruling class of bureaucrats.
When the government controls a limited supply, the government gets to decide who gets the vaccines and who doesn't. In some cases, who lives and who doesn't.
Incentives matter. Dreams matter. We cannot strip incentives away. Dreams are the foundation of the American dream, which is so intrinsic to who we are.
We make choices every single day of our lives and those choices mean we must give up something in exchange for another. In economics it's called an 'opportunity cost.'
We should all be on the same team when it comes to truth and justice.
In politics, you need to be able to live up to the hype.
In life, you need some backbone. You need to stand for something.
Socialism most always leads to a failure of democracy because the economic system ultimately cannot provide for its people.
Leaders cling to power in a socialist state like Venezuela by buying votes and manipulating elections.
If Comrade Bernie Sanders were to ever win the presidency, it's game over for our country, for our economy, for our future and for our children's future.
Americans want to work. We want to take care of our families. It's in our DNA, the American work ethic.
Capitalism is the engine that has grown economies.
Iran has attacked oil fields and shot down a U.S. drone - all while we stood by.
We live in the United States. British settlers founded the first colony in North America. And English is our language.
Bottom line: this is the United States. And we speak English here.
I think that reality is divorced from former vice president Joe Biden who hob knobs with these Hollywood dictators.
We believe in the individual. Government protects our rights as individuals and our rights as property owners. We come together as a community to ensure our protections and to ensure our individuals' security. That's where government comes in and why we pay taxes.
You know, I sure hope this alt-left movement doesn't succeed because, I sure don't want to live in a world where success is punished - and ambitions are thwarted by big government. That is not the American way - and, it's certainly not a path for success.
If someone is trying to frame you, don't you want to know who, what, when, where and why?
China is a travesty of a place, and you should thank God every day that you weren't born there.
What happens to our economy and all our wonderful innovation if people are not properly incentivized and rewarded?
Money, ego, revenge and the seduction of being a media darling is pretty powerful stuff, and, John Bolton is proving he's not immune.
I'm setting the record straight - Chuck Schumer is nothing but a political animal who symbolizes all that's wrong with American politics.
Capitalism is the system that has enabled greatness and made America the envy of the world.
In socialism, everything is supposed to be equal. And yet, it's always fascinating how the elite government bureaucrats (in socialist places like Venezuela, Cuba and Argentina) are the ones that wind up with all the money.
As an American, I would really like it if, just for once, Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and 'The Squad' would focus on proposing and shepherding meaningful policy reforms for the country, wouldn't you?
The Chinese want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to have 'developing nation' status and are out there as one of the biggest borrowers on the planet from the World Bank while simultaneously trying to play the part of a grown up on the world stage.
I have said this before: I'm an Independent, I have voted for both parties.
Ultimately, and I believe this is one of the fundamental problems with socialism, it's that human beings do have self-interest. It's very hard to ignore that self-interest when you're creating a government structure.
Our government is for the people, by the people - and no one can orchestrate a hostile takeover. We, the people, control our destiny.
The left has promoted some wild conspiracy theories - namely that Trump had been groomed for decades by the Russians, and then, even spent two-and-a-half years and $32 million of taxpayer dollars investigating it.
We need policies that will benefit the middle class because you will not have a strong society without a strong middle class, fundamentally.
The elite cannot understand why President Trump is liked by so many Americans, nor why people flock to his rallies. Yet, it's in part because they believe he 'gets' them. They believe he understands and, most importantly, respects their economic values and their dreams.
A banana republic we are not.
People care about their financial futures, and politics is very much a part of that.
President Obama was well known for his interfering in Justice Department matters.
You think you can govern separate from our Constitution? That's the foundation of progressivism right there, folks.
Moderators may take flak - but, hey, that's part of what we sign up for.
All the U.S. is asking for is free, fair trade.
Donald Trump is living proof of the American Dream. A kid from Queens, New York, who made it big. And, yeah - he'll be the first to tell you he isn't perfect. But who is?
I believe a journalist needs to be free to ask the questions he or she deems relevant, without constraints from others.
As an anchor, I want to make sure we're exploring all angles on a story. The viewer can make up their own mind.
I'm not political, but I am policy-oriented and I am interested in the right moves for our economy, for our nation; but I'm also always willing to listen.
To me, economics doesn't need to be political.
There is no place for any kind of extremism in society.
Who needs checks and balances when the left, seemingly, knows and can decide right from wrong? When the left can decide what can be said and what cannot be said? When the left can decide how much money you're allowed to make or whether or not you deserve health care? It is a quest for power. And, it is dangerous.
You've heard me question whether the partisanship in Washington has made us, as a nation, ungovernable - and, indeed, Democrats are doing their very best to make sure of it.
