Highlights & Lowlights

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.

Questions

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.

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.”

Representatives that few people have ever heard about are standing up for We The People. Ralph Norman from South Carolina has distinguished himself by calling out the problems with the “broken system.”

Representative Matt Rosendale (R-MT) is another “voice in the wilderness” telling the truth. Rosendale railed against Congress’s “broken system” as he nominated Byron Donalds for the 9th round of voting in the race for Speaker of the House on Thursday.

Rep. Ralph Norman has written a lengthy piece on the problems in Washington. Norman is one of the people opposing Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House.

There have been multiple times in the history of Congress when multiple ballots are required to elect the House Speaker. However, at no point in history has the same person failed to capture the majority on six ballots and remained determined to keep trying.
