Democrats better start shopping around for a 2024 candidate, because Kamala would lose to Reagan’s corpse.
Biden Is the $6 Trillion Man
Source: The Wall Street Journal (behind paywall).
Commenting on the president’s just released budget, WSJ’s editors all but call it insane:
If Mr. Biden gets his way, spending in fiscal 2022 will still be $6 trillion, which is some $2 trillion more than before the pandemic in 2019. Then spending will keep rising and remain a little under 25% of GDP for the rest of the decade. That level has never been reached in a single year since World War II, and the postwar pre-Covid average was 19.4%.
Translation: It is insane to tax and spend at world-war levels when there is no world war.
Continue reading “Biden Is the $6 Trillion Man”1/6 terrorist attack is ignored by compliant GOP.
Two men blew up a federal building in Oklahoma. 20 men took down the WTC and damaged the Pentagon. A few dozen attacked the consulate in Benghazi. A few thousand assaulted the Capitol, hundreds armed in tactical gear entered with the sole purpose of overturning an election. Question: which terror attack is being ignored? Or reinvented as an open house for “tourists”. Hint: a morally bereft Senator from KY (or using “KY”😇) wanted to scrub an investigation as a “favor” to him. (Or more correctly, a favor to “Him”, the Holy Golden Golfing Buddha.)
Republican effort to lower drug prices: let Canada decide.
Here is the 3 card Monte in drugs by the GOP: since there is no real market driven price control on pharmaceuticals and we won’t let Medicare negotiate prices, let’s legalize imports from Canada. Sounds cool , huh? Here is the irony, or hypocrisy, however. Canada’s drug prices are capped by the government. So it is ok for the US to lower our prices by market pressure from foreign price controls.
Sounds still cool, eh? Except Canada has not nearly the quantity to affect our prices at all. In other words, there is no ace of spades in the shuffle, just the one in the Republican palm.
Mic Drop
Greg Wallace drops the mic on the GOP and their new ownership. “Republicans in Congress will likely own Greene and her mad ravings for a long time to come, and it will serve them right. But congressional dignity and reputation will pay a heavy price.” Big price to keep two-thirds of the 22-25% of voters who still love this crap happy.
To those of you who say not everything is about the previous President, the GOP is ALL about HIM and HIM alone at this point.
They have no policies at this time except to obstruct EVERYTHING.
And their Elephant “mascot” should be replaced by the old RCA logo with an orange speaker with the dog replaced by a turtle.
Book review
False Alarm – Bjorn LombergI’ve mentioned this book before but it’s time to put it forward as a strong recommendation and tell you why. Continue reading “Book review”
Maricopa could spend millions on new voting machines after the “audit”.
Republican election officials can’t trust the “auditors” from damaging or rigging machines since they lost custody of both the machines and ballots. In my opinion they should send all the bills to #45.
The beginning of the end of the Pilot?
As soon as the sale went through, we had to know this was coming.
I get it that the VP has become more ads than news, especially Wednesday, but the importance of local news organizations, including print, are an invaluable tool for those who want to be informed about local things BY local reporters.
For those who say the VP was too liberal, you haven’t been paying attention to the national columnists that have been published pretty regularly over the past several months. (Since the Tribune takeover) Lots of Cal Thomas, Ross Douthat, and Jonah Goldberg pieces come to mind.
And I’m really gonna miss Pearls Before Swine with my morning coffee.
‘Strict ID Laws Don’t Stop Voters’
Finally, a reference study that supports the intuition that photo identification of voters at poling places is harmless.
Another Left-Wing Hoax About Trump Blows Up
This is great. I championed the Mueller report and Bill Barr’s decision not to prosecute then President Trump when they came out. At the time and ever since, the anti-Trumpers on this web site claimed that Mueller’s report proved Trump was guilty, at least, of obstruction of justice.
Now we learn that the obstruction allegation was never prosecutable, not on the merits, not no way; never.
Patience, patriots. Reality has a conservative bias.
