Plus: Conservatives Need to Take Better Advantage of Gifts From Far Left
April 5 2022
Good morning from Washington, where the left keeps giving ordinary taxpayers new reasons to recoil. Conservatives should do a better job spreading the word, Neil Patel writes. On the podcast, historian Larry Schweikart spotlights six presidents who took on the Washington swamp. Plus: Leslie Ford on how to fix the government’s job-training programs; Grace Melton on protecting actual human rights; and Tim Graham on The Washington Post’s about-face regarding Hunter Biden. On this date in 1792, George Washington exercises the first presidential veto, nixing a bill passed by Congress that would have increased the number of House seats for northern states.
A bill on federal job training programs would spend billions more on left-of-center priorities, including boosting union sway and further limiting state flexibility.
Congress is considering several bills that would warp how the U.S. applies sanctions—through the Global Magnitsky Act—against foreigners who violate human rights.
The Washington Post sounds like a prosecutor when it reports on Trump scandals, and it has routinely sounded like defense lawyers on the Biden family buck-raking.
