Government overspending and short-sighted economic policies have created a painful recession, unprecedented inflation, supply chain disruptions, and a labor market crisis. That is why you are seeing prices skyrocket on everything from basic goods to groceries to gas… if you can even find the food and supplies you need.
Overall, today you pay 9.1% more for items than you did one year ago… and it’s only going to get worse.
The only way Washington politicians will learn that spending sprees have real consequences is if YOU speak up. Share your story of how rising costs and supply shortages are impacting you.

“To put it plainly: ESG is damaged goods. It isn't the glitzy branding that needs retooling; it's the product that's spoiled and rotten. The sooner corporations abandon ESG and readopt their original mission statement, the better off the American economy.”
- Gabriella Hoffman, IWF Senior Fellow

** Lead Bans Discourage Americans From Going Fishing and Hunting ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The Biden administration recently enacted a rule change banning lead bullets and tackle usage on 18 national wildlife refuges spanning 38,000 acres opened to new fishing and hunting opportunities. If left in place, the final rule would entirely phase out lead usage ([link removed]) on new openings by 2026. In states where 100% lead bans have gone into effect — namely California — the effects have been ruinous. Learn more. ([link removed])

** Do Double Mastectomies Make Girls Happier? ([link removed])

The subjects of a Northwestern Medicine study, who were ages 13 to 24, were asked how they felt about having elective double mastectomies. Although the headline and content of a recent CBS News article claims the 36 girls surveyed experienced improved “quality of life” after their breasts were removed, the study did not analyze the subjects’ levels of depression, anxiety, or suicidality ([link removed]) before and after the surgeries, nor explore any measures that were not focused on the patients’ thoughts about their breasts and whether their “external appearance represents their gender identity.” Read more.

** Gun Control Doesn’t Keep Us Safer ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
We can all agree that we want to see fewer mass killings and less gun violence. The question is whether stricter gun-control laws will improve the situation or make it worse. Because of the politicized nature of gun policy, it’s essential to get past the rhetoric and sift through the facts to answer that question.
Can you guess which of the following is not true about gun control?
A. New gun control legislation will reduce crime.
B. More guns in more public places leads to less gun violence.
C. There are far more defensive gun uses than murders in a given year.

** Proposed NLRB Joint Employer Rule Would Undermine Franchise Businesses ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
A proposed rule change could imperil the future of franchise businesses in America. The Democrat-controlled National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) to expand the definition of a “joint-employer” under the Fair Labor Standards Act. If implemented, this rule change would make it harder for corporations to partner with individuals who desire to operate a franchise.
