Will this be a one-and-done GOP majority?

I'll admit that, when I watched a snippet of James Comer's presser about the Hunter Biden investigation, I worried that this might be a one-and-done GOP majority. That's certainly the opinion of this column. Then again, it's published by the Seattle Times, one of the most leftist papers in the U.S. But I digress.

After the stock market closed, Larry Kudlow interviewed Kevin McCarthy as his first guest of the show. It didn't take long for Kudlow and McCarthy to start talking about prosperity through opening the spigot on energy, through reducing crime, which Kudlow characterized as "a prosperity killer." That's painfully obvious when you see major corporations hightailing it out of Chicago, New York and Seattle for Miami-Dade County.

It's apparent that Speaker McCarthy will focus on reducing inflation while growing the U.S. economy. What few liberals know is that McCarthy comes from a small business background. While I don't doubt that there will be important investigations, I'm confident that the balance of activity in the House will be at least 75% prosperity-focused and 25% investigations.

Further, I hope that House Republicans introduce a bill titled the 'Baby Formula supply chain restoration Act.' Biden and Schumer still haven't fixed that. Being on the side of moms with infants is always a winner.

Finally, let's hope that Republicans pass the Parents Bill of Rights and watch Democrats squirm. They know they can't support such a bill because the AFT and NEA would crucify them if they supported it.

Here's the Kudlow-McCarthy interview:

It's obvious that McCarthy will be a pro-prosperity Speaker. Yes, there will be investigations but there will be lots of pro-prosperity bills passed by this GOP House majority.

The biggest question is whether the media will mention all the bills passed by the House GOP that die in the Senate without Sen. Schumer acting on them. My recommendation to the GOP is line up trade organizations to pressure vulnerable Democrat senators for not acting on popular bills languishing on Sen. Schumer's desk. Further, I'd recommend that Speaker McCarthy insist on including the Baby Formula bill and the Let's Make Energy Cheap Again Act in the omnibus spending bill that funds the government. Let it be known that the House isn't as spineless as Mitch McConnell is in the Senate. Let it be known that House Republicans won't lie down just because Mitch cuts a pro-Democrat deal with Sen. Schumer or Joe Biden.

Finally, let it be known that House Republicans will fight for America's prosperity. That's the best way to ensure getting re-elected.

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
