Immune from Reason: Biden's Mandate Ignites a Nation

For most Democrats, creating political distractions is an art form. Not so much for Joe Biden, whose idea of changing the conversation on Afghanistan was starting a civil war over the COVID vaccine. Late last week, when the president threw down his national mandate, it was like taking people's minds off burnt toast by setting your house on fire. Sure, it got Americans to stop talking about the Taliban, but only because they were on the phone with their attorneys looking for ways to sue the government.

Congress A-Tax the American Economy
|

Democrats are running Congress like rowdy teenagers joyriding in a "borrowed" Lamborghini--they know they'll have to surrender the keys soon, so they'll extract every possible ounce of thrill they can. To fund their unprecedented spending proposals (running $3 trillion to $6 trillion), the House Ways and Means Committee has proposed an estimated $3.5 trillion in tax increases. While targeted at the wealthy, the brunt of the increases will fall on small businesses, families, and workers, forcing the struggling middle class down into the lower class.

All Eyes on Cali

Today Californians will decide whether Gavin Newsom will finish out his term, and (if the recall succeeds) who will replace him as governor. Polling has consistently shown Californians generally oppose removing Gavin Newsom, with a noteworthy outlier from Survey USA showing 51 percent of Californians support recalling Newsom. In the event Californians vote to recall Newsom, conservative radio host Larry Elder is the frontrunner to finish the remainder of Newsom's term. California is a distinctly liberal state, which typically delivers wide margins for liberal candidates at the statewide level in general elections. This election is different, however. It's a referendum on the direction of our nation's most populous state. If it were an independent nation, California would command the world's 5th largest economy. The state is home to the largest tech companies in the world, Hollywood, and is the nation's leading producer of agricultural products. California has a lot going for it. So why did 2 million Californians sign on to a petition to recall Governor Newsom?
