E.J. Antoni, Ph.D, a public finance economist, the Richard F. Aster fellow at the Heritage Foundation, and a Senior Fellow at Unleash Prosperity, reports good news for America under the Trump administration.

He writes: “Christmas came two days early for America this year when we learned that the economy grew at a 4.3 percent annualized pace from July through September, blowing past even the rosiest expectations. The tariff-induced crash predicted by countless “experts” has been replaced by rock-solid expansion.”

You would never know this by listening to the national Democratic lapdog media.

It is more interested in attacks on the president, such as screaming about a Washington, D.C., building, the Kennedy Performing Arts Center, being re-named the Kennedy-Trump Center, and whining that the center is ending the year with a new round of artists saying they are canceling scheduled performances after President Donald Trump’s name was added to the facility.

Whoop-de-doo. Who cares that a bunch of leftists attempting to bring about a left-controlled Congress are playing politics, seeking to reignite the investigate-impeach Trump circus of the past.

Note: All those efforts fell into the depths with no cause for impeachment. Trump must be the most investigated official in history.

Trump laughs and continues doing the things patriotic Americans vote for him to do: close the border, kick out illegal aliens – especially the criminals, cut out government waste that had put the national government on the path to economic destruction and do things to help common people, including the small business owners who are at the core of a dynamic recovery.

The leftist Democrats are beside themselves because they “get” Trump.

When the economy gets better in the new year because of Trump decisions, the Left will become even more furious. Who can know where such anger may lead?

Back to Antoni, who also reported this: “According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, consumers were the ones driving the acceleration in economic activity with private consumption growing at a 3.5 percent annualized rate. Not only is that faster than the previous three-month period, but it also exceeded growth in government purchases.

This is a marked change from the Biden era when a disproportionate amount of economic “growth” was coming from the public sector. As the government borrowed trillions of dollars to push spending into the stratosphere, it increased gross domestic product (GDP) without growing the real economy—the productive private sector.

“This is now the first time in three years that consumer spending grew faster than government purchases for three consecutive quarters. And purchases by the federal government in particular shrank during the first nine months of 2025 at an annualized rate of 2.7 percent. It’s a complete reversal from the Biden administration when this category of government spending grew at 2.1 percent per annum.”

Antoni closed with this: “Less taxation and regulation, along with low energy prices, are supercharging growth. Once a new Chairman of the Federal Reserve is appointed in May, monetary policy reform will be added to the list, and then all the dials should be lining up. In short, the economy could be a rocket sled on rails.

“Economic growth is vitally important because it’s how we produce not only more products and services but also better ones and create a higher standard of living for Americans. Faster growth in the overall economy and in worker productivity means higher wages and a better quality of life for all income groups.

“There’s certainly still a tremendous mess to clean up that was left behind by the Biden administration, but this accelerating economic growth was a great Christmas present to America, and the New Year is looking even better.”

There is rejoicing among the ordinary citizens. America is becoming great again and citizens are not under the yoke of an autocratic central government.

There is much more mess to clean up but President Trump has shown he is the man for the job. That’s the reason people who love America must turn out to vote in the mid-term elections in 2026.

Scientist says we’re living in God’s world

Another columnist I admire is Alan Bauer, native of Chicago and a Jew. He graduated from Harvard University, then earned a doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (he’s chief scientist of a local technology company in Israel. He had taken a Fulbright scholarship and stayed.)

Here is what the scientist said in a recent column on-Townhall.com.

“We’re living in God’s world, whether we admit it or not.”

Later he followed that up with this: “While a chaotic world can lead to a lack of religious be- lief, nothing has contributed to the downward spiral of religion in the West more than science. Whether it be Darwinian evolution or modern theories of the creation of living material out of mere chemicals, what is presented is supposed to simply make any belief in God superfluous or outright ridiculous. Why believe in myths, when we can explain everything? Well, almost everything.”

Then he added a group of scientific facts taken from recognized scientific sources.

•Estimated average number of cells in the human body: 37.2 trillion

• Length of DNA in a person. Not all cells have DNA; for example, red blood cells do not so as to carry as much oxygen as possible. Let’s assume 10 trillion cells have DNA, and the accepted length of DNA is 2 meters per cell. That would come to, if all DNA was placed endto- end, well over 20,000 round-trips to the moon and back for the DNA in your body

• Total length of blood vessels (veins and arteries) in your body: 60,000 miles

• Alveoli, the 700 million little air sacs in the lungs that allow for oxygen to get into the blood, if spread out, would cover a surface area of 750 square feet

• Number of genes in the DNA: 20,000 spread over 46 chromosomes

• Fastest enzyme (an enzyme is a protein that can perform one or more chemical reactions): carbonic anhydrase at 1 million reactions per second

• Estimated number of enzymatic reactions per second in the body: 1027— more than the number of stars in the universe

•Number of heart beats from birth to 80 years old: over 3 billion.

He adds: “If you want the references for the data above, you can find them in my introductory book on science at Amazon. The length of blood vessels in our bodies, for example, I first heard from a Yale professor giving a TedTalk. He didn’t know what to do with the information. “Is it God? Is it magic?” For comparison, a modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner has 62 miles of wiring, and nobody would suggest that a plane just happened.”

His discussion reminded me of a TV program featuring college professors whose specialty was study of the universe.

It seemed to me the more they studied the science the more convinced they became that God does exist.

Thinking about God and science reminds me of something my older brother, Ken, once mentioned: Nothing totally new has ever been created in a laboratory. They can change existing materials, but they can’t create something from nothing.”
