Hakeem Jeffries' anti-prosperity manifesto

Image
The day after President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, aka OBBB, into law, Hakeem Jeffries issued this statement , which should be considered Jeffries' anti-prosperity manifesto. In the Democrats' anti-prosperity manifesto, Jeffries said "You know, the One Big Ugly Bill hurts everyday Americans and rewards billionaires. It’s the largest attack on healthcare in American history. More than 17 million people will lose their healthcare as a result of this One Big Ugly Bill. It will end, effectively, Medicaid as we know it. Hospitals will close. Nursing homes will shut down. Community-based health clinics won’t be able to operate. And as a result of the fact that so many people will not be able to get access to healthcare, folks are going to die all across the United States of America. " Let's get honest here. Illegal aliens will lose their health insurance. Considering the fact that illegsal aliens overwhelm hospitals, schools and other government services, ...

At Issue Political Analysis's misinformation

Image
Brian McDaniel and Mike Erlandson aren't dishonest people. They just aren't connected with the people.Appearing as the RGOP and DFL representatives for At Issue With Tom Hauser respectively, they simply didn't recognize how important the One Big Beautiful Bill's tax cuts will be. Further, Erlandson talked as if the tax cuts wouldn't change people's behavior. Perhaps that's why Democrats trust CBO's scoring of the tax cuts. They trust static scoring while Republicans trust dynamic scoring. Further, today's analysts didn't factor in the $1,700,000,000,000 in savings from mandatory spending. Larry Kudlow explained why static scoring isn't accurate . During his opening riff a month ago, he said "The current cost of the 2017 tax cuts should be zero. Why should they be zero? Because they actually produced more revenues, $2.3 trillion more revenues than CBO estimated over the past seven years. The current cost of the 2017 tax cuts should be zer...

Let's make Minnesota capitalist again

Image
For those of us with multiple brain cells rubbing together, we've known for a decade+ that Minnesota is a socialist/redistributionist state. Minnesota isn't a capitalist state where it's easy to create generational wealth. Minnesota's DFL is expert at throwing up roadblock after roadblock to creating generational wealth. That isn't an emotive reaction to a difficult situation. It's an objective fact. This article lays out some hard truths. Let's get started with today's reality check. It reports that "For decades, Minnesota enjoyed a reputation as an economic leader. But in recent years, the momentum has slowed. From 2019 to 2024, Minnesota ranked 38th in GDP growth, 38th in job growth, and 33rd in per capita income growth." That's totally unacceptable. More Objective Truth The article reports "A growing economy needs people—both to fill jobs and to drive consumer demand—but Minnesota currently ranks 42nd in net domestic migration, wi...

One Big Beautiful Bill winners and losers

Image
When the House of Representatives passesd the One Big Beautiful Bill, aka the OBBB, by a vote of 218-214, there was lots of celebrating. The working class, the middle class, small business owners and taxpayers celebrated, each for different reasons. Waitresses and waiters rejoiced because their tips won't be taxed. Construction workers rejoiced because they won't have their overtime pay taxed. Here in Minnesota, that's a huge deal beause lots of construction workers work tons of overtime during 'construction season.' Their paychecks will increase bigtime as a result of the OBBB. This USA Today op-ed opens by saying "President Donald Trump's legislative package of tax reductions and Medicaid cuts passed out of Congress on July 3 and will soon be signed into law. Up next for Congressional Republicans: Surviving the midterms." It continues, saying "Many Republicans argue that voters will feel the economic benefits of their bill and reward them by se...

Democrats' Trump Derangement Syndrome, aka TDS, is getting tiresome

Image
;Democrats failed in stopping President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, OBBB. Americans are rejoicing as a result of the GOP team getting the OBBB across the finish line Thanks to OBBB,waitresses and waiters will pay less in taxes.Thanks to OBBB, construction workers will see more money going into their accounts because they won't be taxed for working overtime. These are indisputable positives. Despite that positive news, dishonest Democrats have unleashed a flurry of dishonest fundraising appeals . Nancy Pelosi issued a fundraising appeal, saying "House Republicans just voted to CUT Medicaid and food assistance for up to 20 MILLION vulnerable Americans, including their own constituents, to give tax handouts to billionaire CEOs. Tim, I don't say this lightly: This bill will usher in a dark and deadly moment in our country's history." What's intentionally omitted from Ms. Pelosi's fundraising appeal is that economic growth within the working class will...

The traitors who fought for this nation

Image
In the eyes of the British, the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence were automatically considered traitors. Early in the Declaration, Thomas Jefferson wrote "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." The signers of the Declaration, in today's verbiage, told King George III that they were seeking a divorce from the British throne. Implied is that they were declaring their independence from the British throne independent of any court ruling. That's the definition of mutiny. Further, the Declaration read like an indictment, stating specifically why the colonies were seeking their freedom from ...

According to Vance's tweet, "GOP Congressman just texted me 'I was undecided on the bill but then I watched Hakeem Jeffries performance and now I’m a firm yes.
