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.

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

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
