Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton rebounded tonight in New York.

With 83% of the vote tallied, Trump has won 60% of the vote as compared to 25.2% for John Kasich and 14.8% for Ted Cruz. The "New York Values" quip did Cruz lasting damage.

While a victory in the Empire State was no surprise, with Trump's campaign has been at a low ebb over the past month, a decisive victory is certainly a shot in the arm. Trump should also do well in one week's time when five Northeastern states vote - Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. 

But Trump was speaking absolute nonsense in his victory speech tonight when he claimed that Cruz was mathematically eliminated from winning the convention. Cruz is likely to fare better in May when Indiana, Nebraska and West Virginia vote as well as Pacific Northwest states Washington and Oregon. The biggest race of them all is in California on June 7th. So this thing is far from over.

Meet the new deities. They apparently sit on the Financial Stability Oversight Council and other regulatory agencies, especially those created by the Dodd-Frank banking “reform” act.

Obama administration officials and Dodd-Frank cheerleaders have been simply apoplectic in their reactions to U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer’s carefully reasoned March 30 decision reversing FSOC’s designation of the MetLife insurance company as “systemically important,” or too-big-to-fail. Expect similar reactions to a bill, H.R. 3340, voted out of the House last week that makes FSOC more accountable to Congress by placing its budget under the appropriations process. Similarly, the House Financial Services Committee approved a bill last week, H.R. 1486, that would put Dodd-Frank’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau spending on budget as well.

On Sunday night, Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies voted overwhelmingly (367-137) to open impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff. The Senate will now vote on whether to take the case and try her, which is all but guaranteed. As a matter of fact, barring some unforeseen event, Dilma’s days as president are numbered.

These are Brazil’s most turbulent months since the return to democracy in 1985. Not only is the president about to be removed from office, but the country is also mired in its worst economic recession since the 1930s. It is not coincidence that Dilma’s popularity (10%) stands at a similar level to Brazil’s fiscal deficit (10.75%), the unemployment rate (9.5%), and the inflation rate (9.4%). The economic and political crises are feeding off of one another.

Here are some facts and myths regarding this impeachment process:

“It’s a coup!”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is still getting the Obama treatment. 

During a speech in Waterloo, Ontario on Friday in which he was discussing his Liberal government's first budget, a reporter asked Trudeau about his government's strategy on ISIS, the reporter prefaced the question by stating, "I was going to ask you about quantum computing but...."

And Trudeau, ever the show off, answered the question about quantam computing much to the delight of an audience of theoretical physicists. 

However, Trudeau was a lot less forthcoming when it came to answering the reporter's question about ISIS. 

It's all well and good that Trudeau knows about quantam computers. Unfortunately, it does nothing to defeat ISIS. 

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper probably couldn't tell you about binary systems, but I bet he has a much better idea about how to defeat ISIS than Justin Trudeau does.
