Is Joe Manchin the only sane Democrat?

Larry Kudlow will be happy to hear that Joe Manchin has rejected the Biden-Schumer-Democrat mini-spendapalooza bill. Still, a major point must be made about the Democrats' spending proclivities and economic literacy. Apparently, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are the only semi-sane Democrats left in DC.

First, Sen. Manchin "and his staff told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D, N.Y., unequivocally Thursday that he is only willing to support a reconciliation bill in August that includes a provision to lower prescription drug prices and a two-year extension of subsidies for the Affordable Care Act." This is a major blow to Democrats. They've wanted to spend the U.S. into the grave since they gained full control of the federal government. Sen. Manchin just shut that down for the final time before Republicans take back control of the Legislative Branch.

Let's recall that all 221 House Democrats voted for the $1,900,000,000,000 ($1.9T) American Rescue Plan. All 50 Democrats in the Senate voted for that inflation-starting monstrosity, too. The myth that there are some moderate Democrats is difficult to prove. Thanks to these Democrats' spending habits, we have rampant inflation. Thanks to these Democrats, a once-humming economy has been turned into an economy teetering on the brink of a recession.

This isn't because of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. This didn't happen because of climate change. It's because Joe Biden and his Democrats chose to wage war on the energy industry.

Thank God for a little sanity. It's time for new financial leadership. Joe Biden and these Democrats are economic illiterates.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
