Bidenomics Has Made This the Most Expensive Christmas on Record

• After the most expensive Thanksgiving ever, the financial pressure on Americans isn’t letting up. Thanks to Bidenomics, this will be the most expensive Christmas on record.
• American households today must spend over $11,000 more just to maintain their same standard of living they had when President Biden took office.
• Travelling to visit family? Airfare is up 42%, and gasoline 55%, since Joe Biden took office. If you have an EV, you’d better hope it's not cold and you have to travel far, as cold weather can reduce total mileage capacity between 20-40%.
• Want to heat your home this winter? You may have to cut back on gifts in exchange, since the average cost for home heating is up 28%.
• As long as the federal budget increases, the American family’s budget only decreases.
• The Washington agenda of overtaxing, overspending, overregulating, and printing money to pay for it all is robbing us of holiday cheer. Americans deserve better.

Uncovering Covid Origins: Congress Must Breach Biden’s Stonewall

• Next month, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will interview Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAD). After two days of behind-closed-doors interviews, the subcommittee will schedule a public hearing to take his sworn testimony.
• Fauci’s testimony will doubtless cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from masking to vaccine mandates. But rest assured that congressional investigators will zero in on Fauci’s knowledge of, and response to, crucial information concerning the origins of the pandemic in China.
• Team Biden’s persistent lack of transparency on Covid-19 has been nothing short of scandalous.
• The Biden administration officials continue to stall the release of relevant information, offering transparently lame excuses, to block congressional access and public disclosure of unredacted documents. 
• House Republicans have subpoena power. When Dr. Fauci testifies early next year before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, congressional investigators will have an excellent opportunity to refresh his memory on what he learned about the origins of the deadly disease, when he learned it, and how he responded.

Supreme Court to Hear Case That Could Dramatically Impact D.C. Criminal Case Against Trump

• The Supreme Court agreed on Wednesday to hear a case that does not involve Donald Trump as a defendant but which could, nonetheless, have a dramatic impact on one of the criminal cases that is pending against the former president.
• The background: On Jan. 6, 2020, over 2,000 Trump supporters entered the U.S. Capitol and disrupted Congress as it attempted to certify the results of the presidential election. Joseph Fischer, Edward Lang, and Garret Miller were among them. The three were subsequently charged in separate indictments with various offenses.
• While they do not contest the validity of many of the charges that are still pending against them, each filed a motion to dismiss a charge common to each of them: obstructing an official proceeding in violation of 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c)(2).
• This statute, passed in 2002, was clearly aimed at corporate wrongdoing that involves an attempt to obstruct a government investigation or proceeding by destroying potential documentary evidence or tampering with witnesses, the government has, on occasion, attempted to broadly apply this law to other, less common circumstances.
• The federal trial judge in Miller’s case granted his motion to dismiss the obstruction count, holding that, while the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6 was an “official proceeding,” the conduct alleged in the indictment fell outside the scope of the statute. For this reason, the judge also dismissed the obstruction counts against Fischer and Lang. However, a divided panel of the D.C. Circuit Court reversed the district court’s decision.
• The eventual decision by the Supreme Court in Fischer v. United States could have a far-reaching impact not only on the more than 300 individuals who have been charged with violating that statute in connection with their actions on Jan. 6, but also on the criminal case that Special Counsel Jack Smith has brought against former President Trump that is pending in federal court in the District of Columbia before Judge Tanya Chutkan.
