  • Battenfeld: Trump declaring war on elitist Harvard pocketbook

    5 days ago | bostonherald.com | Joe Battenfeld

    President Trump is going after the fat pocketbooks of Harvard, PBS and other elitist institutions in a deliberate strategy to get them to bend to his administration’s positions. It’s an effort on Trump’s part to hit his opponents where it hurts the most – right in the wallet. That’s where it breaks them.

The man who preceded him in the White House – Joe Biden – never saw the level of economic angst that Trump is now seeing. It’s way beyond the price of eggs. People are worried about their 401(k)s tanking and the cost of iPhones soaring.

  • Battenfeld: Corruption alive and well in Massachusetts Democratic Party

    1 week ago | bostonherald.com | Joe Battenfeld

    Corruption is alive and well in Massachusetts Democratic politics. For the second time in the last few months, the feds have nabbed an elected Democrat and charged them with stealing to fund their personal and political coffers. It’s refreshing to see the newly appointed U.S. Attorney Leah Foley making public corruption a priority again. What is it about the Massachusetts political culture that people feel they can brazenly break the law and get away with it?
