Nearly three years after bureaucrats shuttered businesses, forced people to stay home, and threatened fines for those who didn’t comply, all in the name of preventing the spread of a respiratory virus that cannot be controlled that way, the regime is quietly reviving the “forever pandemic.”
Kamala Harris is probably beginning to measure the windows at the White House residence for new curtains and drapes. What is swirling around Joe Biden is the beginning of the end of his Presidency. Biden stole government documents and gave some of them to the Penn Biden Center. The Penn documents were probably part of the cache of documents that Biden stored near his Corvette. How many more stolen documents are going to be found lying around?
The Biden administration published a congressionally mandated report highlighting the positive economic benefits the Keystone XL Pipeline would have had if President Biden didn’t revoke its federal permits.
This is a mantra that we often hear from Democratic politicians. Often, they’ll try to justify a new tax by assuring the voters that it’s being enacted to “get the rich to pay their fair share.” Or they will condemn a tax cutting scheme as being one aimed to relieve the rich of their “fair share” burden of taxation.
The House of Representatives on Monday evening voted 221-210 to repeal funding for 87,000 IRS agents.
The so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ gave $79.6 billion to the IRS over the next 10 years.
These agents were expected to target middle class and low-income Americans. Without the 87,000 agents, the IRS had audited the poor at 5 times the rate of everyone else according to a new analysis of IRS data by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University.
There is no telling just how much tighter the squeeze would have been without this House action.
Promises made, promises kept.
With little drama the House of Representatives passed the rules package which will govern their deliberations on Monday night 220-213. It was the first order of business for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s new majority on the first day of the 118th legislative session. The 55-page package includes most of the concessions McCarthy made to the conservative caucus.
Victor Davis Hanson has questions for the country. Every American, Democrat, Republican or independent should want answers to these questions. Perhaps Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell would deign to answer them since all of this has taken place on their watch. If they won’t answer them, they should be removed from Congress along with any and all other leadership in Congress who facilitated this coup.
The recent cold weather has introduced many people to the disadvantages of electric vehicles. Frigid temperatures cause the batteries on EV’s to drain more quickly, a lot more quickly as the temperature goes down. The following is one story that illustrates this problem.
Neil Oliver hits another home run this week with his monologue. I agree with Sundance when he says,
“I like Neil Oliver a lot. I like his perspective, his deliberate nature, his refusal to accept the bullshit, and this monologue is one of the reasons why. I have said it before that in the era of great pretending, the influential people will be those who do not play the game of pretense. Neil Oliver is one of those people who refuses to play.”
Ralph Norman’s take of what has been accomplished.
MAJOR wins in the final deal for House Speaker. We’re finally in a good place. Details of this deal include:
