WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden celebrated his climate change and drug pricing law, The Inflation Reduction Act, on Tuesday on the White House lawn, highlighting Democrats' commitment to progressive priorities even as high consumer prices continue to bite. Biden signed the $430 billion bill, seen as the biggest climate change package in U.S. history, into law last month in a low-key ceremony. The Tuesday event on the White House South Lawn brought together hundreds of CEOs, lawmakers, activists and interest groups who supported it, and gave Biden an opportunity to tout drug price caps, electric vehicle grants and a minimum corporate

Lining up at the trough. Don't worry, our illustrious government said it won't be passed on to the consumers. For a minute I was starting to get worried. LOL!

Blame Democrats’ massive spending spree for our economic crisis By Rep. Roger Williams September 13, 2022 10:10 AM Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Email Print Stock Market Graph next to a 1 dollar bill Democrats began spending as soon as they took the majority, and they have made it clear they don’t intend to stop. claffra/Getty Images/iStockphoto For two years, families have experienced the dire consequences of massive government spending at the gas pump , the grocery store, and elsewhere. Two years of Democrats’ one-party control in Washington was all it took for basic day-to-day needs to become more and more unaffordable for millions of hardworking people. Indeed, a report released in June found that more than half of the public is now living paycheck to paycheck. They have Democrats’ one-party rule in Washington to blame and the Biden administration’s expansion of government spending and new regulations, which has led us to a 40-year high inflation rate, economic stagnation, and lower wages for workers. Democrats began spending as soon as they took the majority, and they have made it clear they don’t intend to stop. Their first major act was passing $1.9 trillion in COVID aid, which was much larger than most economists were saying was necessary and ultimately was the catalyst to the inflation crisis. Even after months and months of record high inflation, Democrats refused to change course and continued to spend trillions of more dollars. In fact, Democrats have added an astounding $2.7 trillion in federal spending over the past two years. President Joe Biden hopes to add hundreds of billions of dollars more to that number with his student loan debt heist. His illegal plan to wipe out thousands of dollars in debt for borrowers not only circumvents Congress’s power of the purse but will also force millions of taxpayers to pay down others’ financial burdens. Furthermore, Biden’s student loan gambit wipes out any deficit reduction he hoped to accomplish in his deceptively named "Inflation Reduction Act" and will almost certainly exacerbate the economic crisis in which we find ourselves today. The Democrats’ irresponsible and full takeover of government spending needs to be checked. We are now $30-plus trillion in debt, and the federal government is on track to spend $10 trillion more over the next decade than was projected before Biden was sworn into office. This bloated spending will continue to hurt low- and middle-income families the most through higher taxes, lower wages, and increased costs of goods and services. If we want to turn around the direction of this country, we must stop thinking we can spend all our country’s money without any consequences.

Thanks you Democrats for forcing retirees to have to choose between eating and their medications because their retirement saving are being eaten by inflation and ravaged by the crashing stock market. Democrats will have retirees eating at soup kitchens and dog food before long.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., has closed the gap in his re-election race, erasing a seven-point deficit to take a one-point lead over his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, according to a new poll released Wednesday. While Johnson’s 49%-48% lead among likely voters is within the poll’s margin of error, it’s a huge reversal for Johnson in the Marquette Law School poll, considered the gold standard of polling in Wisconsin. In last month's Marquette survey, Barnes led Johnson by seven points, 51% to 44%. The most recent poll also showed Gov. Tony Evers holding his lead over GOP nominee Tim

This “news” report comes in the aftermath of violent attacks in Memphis, Tennessee. According to CNN’s Emma Tucker, “the suspects in two violent attacks there this month had been released from prison before serving their full sentences for prior convictions.” Naturally, it follows that if they had remained in prison where they belonged, they would not have been on the street to commit the gruesome crimes that they committed. Ah, but the “experts” see it differently! “Experts

Inflation rose more than expected in August, continuing to create severe financial pressure for U.S. households even as the cost of gasoline fell. The Labor Department said Tuesday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price for everyday goods including gasoline, groceries and rents, rose 8.3% in August from a year ago. Prices climbed 0.1% in the one-month period from July. Those figures were both higher than the 8.1% headline figure and 0.1% monthly decline forecast by Refinitiv economists, likely a worrisome sign for the Federal Reserve as it seeks to cool price gains and tame consumer

Joe Biden can take his armoured Beast limo to the Queen's funeral rather than catching the bus, it emerged last night. French President Emmanuel Macron, Japan’s Emperor Natuhito and Israel’s President Herzog are also all likely to avoid the heads-of-state coach trip. They will instead be allowed to take their own transport to Westminster Abbey next Monday. The US President, for instance, can take his armoured Cadillac, known as the Beast, for security reasons.

BILLINGS, Mont. — Montana health officials on Friday made permanent a rule that blocks transgender people from changing their birth certificates even if they undergo gender-confirmation surgery. The move by Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte's administration comes just days before a court will hear arguments over the legality of a similar rule that's been in effect on an emergency basis since May. The ACLU of Montana has asked state Judge Michael Moses to strike down the emergency rule. Moses in April had temporarily blocked a 2021 Montana law that made it difficult for transgender people to change their birth certificate. The law

King Charles III, who ascended to the throne on Thursday, has chosen to rule with the name he was given at birth. But as a British king it comes with baggage. Charles I, born in 1600, endured a stormy reign that ended with his execution 49 years later. In between, he provoked a civil war and erased the notion of an all-powerful monarchy—or indeed, of any monarchy at all for the 11 years after his beheading outside Banqueting House in London. Charles II, his son, chose to lay low on the European continent for what came to be known

Christianity has remained at the forefront of the nation's political and social conversations for centuries — but new research shows that could be changing. A new report by Pew Research Center and the General Social Survey published on Tuesday found that the large numbers of people in the U.S who practice Christianity are declining. The religion's demographic has been dwindling since the 1990s, the report said, as many adults transition to an identity of atheist, agnostic or "nothing in particular." In the early '90s, about 90% of people in the U.S. identified as Christians, the report said. In 2020, Christians accounted for about 64%

However, Maricopa county, which was the focus of several lawsuits and a contested recount stemming from the 2020 presidential election, hired over 100 more Democrat poll workers than Republicans during its August primary elections.

Hunter Biden is trying to get his child support payments for his 4-year-old love child lowered by claiming a substantial change to his “financial circumstances,” according to court documents. President Biden’s son, 52, has asked an Arkansas judge to recalculate the child support payments he makes to Lunden Roberts, 31 — the mother of the daughter he’s never met, according to a Monday court filing obtained by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Hunter cited “a substantial material change” in his “financial circumstances, including but not limited to his income” for the reason behind his request.
