Welcome to the Christopher Peter Review, your source for an economic perspective on the salient issues impacting our public policy, our economic outcomes, and our overall society.
Americans want opportunity not hand outs. There are people that may need a helping hand, but we must make sure those fingers are not gripping their economic future. Empower people to elevate their standing and determine their own economic path forward.
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
Small businesses are a vital to our economy. But they lack many advantages larger entities enjoy. How can we give our small business environment room to thrive?
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
The worldwide leader in sports enjoys market dominance. But can a competitor chip away at its perch? Possibly. I offer a look at this great brand from a perspective of competing with it.
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
Normal is relative. Relative to the individual’s demographics and background. Rather than decry the weirdness of things, maybe let people enjoy freedom as long as it does not infringe on others.
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
Americans witnessed history on Tuesday and fueled the greatest political comeback in American history. Our political dogma has once again shifted as Trump brought a diverse group into his decisive and historic MAGA mandate.
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
Down to the home stretch. Momentum seems to be changing and the candidates are setting themselves apart from one another. Trump is surging and Kamala is floundering. Who has the best final message?
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
In the past, the difference between the candidates was not that big. The risks of one platform versus the other was not really impactful. In this one, the choice is pretty clear and there is only one platform being offered that is truly what the candidate promoting actually intends to do. The competing one is being made up as they go along.
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
The economy is not doing well despite there being some positive data points. The overall sentiment is negative and it is not getting better. Who has the better economic vision? Listen to find out.
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
A nation without secure borders is not a well run nation. The potential for threats are clear and evident seen in Ukraine, Israel, and a host of other nations. We offer a new approach to addressing the issue.
CHRISTOPHER PETER REVIEW:
Community is important. Many of the problems we face as a society stems from the breakdown of community and the institutions that connect us. Especially in our cities, despite the large populations.

SERIES: THE SHOWDOWNS
In the month of March, when the NFL releases its schedule, I assume that it must be somewhat difficult to plan for a weekend of battles for first place in more than division. Fans just have to hope that a weekend like this past one happens like it did. The action did not disappoint. And that was only football. A great overall weekend for sports!
PERSPECTIVE: THE POINTLESS RECOUNT
As expected, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court delivered the final blow to the Democrat officials in Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, and other counties that tried to count illegal votes in hope to makeup the difference. The crazy rhetoric used to justify the clear attempt to interfere with the outcome of the election just gives credence to those who doubted past outcomes.
Just because people violate the law all the time, does not make it okay for a government official to do the same, as one immoral commissioner tried to justify her illegal actions. In fact, the expectation is that someone working for the government, on the public’s dime, and in the public’s trust should be more observant of the law. But we see crystal clear that people do not follow their own espoused values when situations do not align with their own wishes.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro took the side of the Supreme Court, which is not a hard stance. If he really wanted to make a firm statement, he might want to remove those commissioners who blatantly violated the previous court ruling and state laws. Every vote should count, but it must comply with rules. Especially when there is so much obvious reason for the unsavory to cheat.
THE CANDIDATE: KAMALA
A BILLION DOLLARS WAS FAR FROM ENOUGH
Kamala Harris comes out of the 2024 Presidential Election defeated and riddled with debt. To her credit, she accepted a challenge of taking over for an unpopular president and inheriting a record that was unwinnable. She played a major role in the outcome that was a decisive rejection of progressivism and the status quo. Please listen above for my thoughts on her candidacy.
