Governor DeSantis Is Right to Hold Rogue Prosecutor Accountable - By suspending State Attorney Andrew Warren, who pledged not to enforce certain duly enacted laws of the state he took an oath to serve, Governor DeSantis has sent a message that local prosecutors who pledge not to do their jobs must and will be held accountable. Local elected prosecutors do not get to selectively pick and choose which laws to enforce. The people entrust their state legislatures to pass laws, and their local prosecutors to enforce those laws.

Manchin-Schumer-Biden Taxes Would Hit Both Rich and Poor Americans - President Joe Biden promised on Thursday that the so-called Inflation Reduction Act wouldn’t raise taxes on Americans making less than $400,000 a year. But, in fact, the bill would increase taxes collected from the American people by more than half a trillion dollars, affecting both rich and poor alike. The massive tax and spending bill—negotiated by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.—centers around green energy subsidies and regulations, drug pricing regulations, an extension of expanded Obamacare subsidies, added funding to the IRS for audits and enforcement, and new taxes.

Reality’s revenge: the return of stagflation - This reality is all painfully apparent to the American middle class. They're living it every day and do not need a government bureau to tell them economic growth has stagnated while prices maintain their vertiginous climb. Those of us who regularly go to grocery stores and gas stations have seen inflation with our own eyes -- and felt it in our own wallets. But it speaks to the isolation of Washington bureaucrats that they are surprised when inflation reports are high or economic growth indicators are low. Heritage Expert: EJ Antoni
Pelosi’s Taiwan Trip: An Opportunity Lost - Rather than talking about the possible outcome and fallout of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, let’s roll up our sleeves and look at the opportunity lost to send a strong signal to Beijing. Pelosi’s stopover in Taiwan on her congressional jaunt to Asia generated no small amount of controversy and confusion. Of course, there is absolutely no reason why members of Congress should not visit Taiwan. Heritage Expert: James Carafano
