Plus: ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ Would Leave Americans Poor, Oppressed, Sick, and Dead
August 6 2022
Good morning from Washington, where the Senate holds a “vote-a-rama” this weekend as Democrats scramble to spend more of your money. We’ve got suitably outraged commentaries from David Harsanyi and Deroy Murdock. Biden’s reaction to China’s continued belligerance isn’t reassuring, Patty-Jane Geller writes. On the podcast, Richard Reinsch chats with fellow Heritage Foundation scholar Brenda Hafera about the wokening of presidential homes. Plus: commentator James Lindsay takes on groomers; using guns to defend ourselves; and “Doonesbury” won’t let Trump alone. On this date in 1948, diver Vicki Draves wins gold at the London Olympics, becoming the first Asian American to do so.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., claims that Democrats are merely trying to "close the loopholes and collect the taxes that are owed to the Treasury and the United States people."
The so-called Inflation Reduction Act would fight inflation through higher government spending. That’s like battling alcoholism with just one more round of drinks.
“The goal is to destabilize these kids,” Lindsay says. “It’s to make them unsure of their identity, to put them in a position where there’s going to be conflict with their family … with their faith.”
One reason Biden hasn’t delivered on his word and ditched the Trump policy is because his political future is at risk if more chaos occurs at the border, an immigration lawyer says.
We’re a year and a half into the Biden administration, but you’d never know that from Garry Trudeau, the liberal hack behind the long-running “Doonesbury” comic strip.
