Neither political party has truly addressed the issue of economic security, which is why the US remains a house divided against itself
Abu Muhammad al-Masri probably never saw it coming. According to the New York Times, he is reported to have been driving his white Renault L90 sedan at around 9 pm on August 7 on a quiet Tehran street, when two gunmen pulled up to the car on a motorbike and fired five shots from a pistol fitted with a silencer. Four of the bullets went into the car, killing al-Masri and his daughter Miriam, who was also the widow of Osama Bin Laden’s son Hamza bin Laden. By no coincidence, it was 22 years to the day after al-Qaeda’s second in command masterminded devastating attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people and injured thousands more. It’s believed that Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, who went by the name Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was gunned down by Israeli agents who were working on the behest of US officials, the Times reported.

Let’s hope that Joe Biden’s minimum wage fantasies never become law—or workers will pay the price for his economic naiveté.
Nobel laureate Milton Friedman once said that “One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” When it comes to the $15 minimum wage hike supported by Joe Biden and many of his fellow Democrats, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the results will be ugly. New reporting reveals that Chief Financial Officers at top American companies are “considering raising prices, cutting workers’ hours and investing in automation to offset a potential rise in labor costs.” “Companies including Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., Potbelly Corp. and Texas Roadhouse Inc. are already doing the math to assess what a higher federal minimum wage could mean for their operations and cost base,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

OUR COLUMNIST Marc A. Thiessen noted last week that President Trump had come very close to winning reelection. “A flip of just some 73,700 votes in those three states [Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia] and Trump would be making plans for a second term — and we would all be taking about a ‘red wave,’ ” he wrote. Mr. Thiessen’s point was that Mr. Trump’s near miss makes him a viable candidate in 2024. We draw a different lesson: It is alarming that a candidate came so close to winning while polling more than 5 million fewer votes than his opponent nationwide. The electoral college, whatever virtues it may have had for the Founding Fathers, is no longer tenable for American democracy.
