(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) Congressional Democrats have handed Republicans two giant gifts.
The deviously dubbed Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and a worthy-but-failed amendment to it, supply the GOP a pair of tailor-made issues to hurl at tax-loving, tax-hiking, tax-collecting Democrats. Republican nominees should deploy them at once.
First, IRA gives the...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) It's never easy to read the motives of "Swamp Turtle" Mitch McConnell, currently the most powerful Republican in elected office.
Although he always appears to be playing the long game, nobody else on the field seems to have the playbook---or know whose team he is on.
Could...
(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) “The Inflation Reduction Act invests $369 billion to take the most aggressive action ever---ever, ever, ever---in confronting the climate crisis and strengthening our energy security,” President Joe Biden said Tuesday at the White House, just before signing the IRA into law.
IRA goes far beyond the...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) Like many Republicans, my loyalty to former President Donald Trump has sometimes been tested.
His first term often rose to meet---and surpass---what was, admittedly, a low bar going in.
Nonetheless, he was hobbled considerably by his own rhetoric, making himself needlessly into a target, to such great...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) The double-standards of leftist hypocrites have become so ubiquitous in the Brandon era that oftentimes it's hardly worth commenting on them.
One is hard pressed, in fact, to find a story in the news cycle that does not involve Democrats waging attacks against their political rivals...
(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Friday along party lines, 220-207, to approve the fraudulently titled Inflation Reduction Act. Every Democrat voted Yea. Every Republican voted Nay. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the IRA into law next week.
This $739 billion tax-and-spending bacchanale includes...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) At least since the release of Arthur C. Clarke's 1951 short story "The Sentinel" and its 1968 film adaptation, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, the concept of sentient robots has both intrigued and terrified mankind.
It has become so much a concern that the brilliant...
(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) bears the fingerprints of Democrat Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
Their 725-page ruin belies its billing, beginning with its fraudulent title. While Americans reel under 9.1% year-on-year inflation, IRA neglects the worst price surge...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) As details begin to emerge over the tragic traffic-related death of Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., along with two staffers and an oncoming motorist, it appears socialism may be indirectly to blame.
Elkhart County officials on Thursday revised their initial assessment that the other driver, 56-year-old Edith...
(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) The Stalinist Jan. 6 Committee rages on.
During former President Donald Trump's first two impeachments, his supporters cross-examined witnesses and provided exculpatory evidence. But today’s proceedings do not try to be fair to Trump or even curious about his side of the story. Instead, they are...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) There is a well-known principle in the world of marketing called the "Decoy Effect," which suggests that by giving people three options instead of two, it will psychologically manipulate them into choosing the middle one.
''I am Kamala Harris. My pronouns are ‘she’ and ‘her.’ I...
(Ben Sellers, Headline USA) It is not unusual at the end of movies (some based on true stories, some fictional ones) to see the a final scene that explains what happened to the characters afterward---the implication being that the action was just a small part in their ongoing narrative.
