Subsidize something — get more of it. Expect the Biden economy to have additional unemployment, increased poverty, and lower incomes for a longer period.resident Biden’s plan for federal coronavirus relief resembles the American Recovery Reinvestment Act (ARRA) signed by President Obama after the 2008 financial crisis. It uses several federal agencies to separately distribute financial assistance to persons unemployed, in poverty, or otherwise with low incomes, on top of the dozens of programs already in place. Predictably, it will result in a disappointing economic recovery as long as it lasts. The plan includes a $100 weekly unemployment bonus, on top...

Susan Rice is on television right now acting like the president she is. Announcing executive orders Biden hasn't even signed yet. Now the reporters are asking what she's doing about "White Nationalism" and "people waving confederate flags". She obviously got fed up with doddering Biden and decided to step out front and center. And it's all racial equality to take over the economy. She is absolutely the president.

As Azuka laid down in bed feverish, he had resigned to his fate believing he was not going to make it to the next day. Just 3 days into the new year and all the fun he had, attending weddings and burial ceremonies in the east all seemed like a big mistake. He must have caught covid-19 at one of those events, he thought. Since attending the last event, he fell sick and has been exhibiting the symptoms of Covid-19 and just waiting to die until someone recommended Ivermectin, a little known drug as a potential medicine that could help...

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel painted a long road ahead in the war against the pandemic and just gave a stark assessment of the pandemic, stating there is good reason to expect a need for ongoing booster shots to protect against mutations that could propagate other variants of SARS-Cov-2, the virus behind the global COVID-19 outbreak. According to Bancel: “I believe SARS-Cov-2 is going to stay with humans forever,” in an interview with Yahoo Finance Live. “We’re going to have to have boosts adapted to a virus-like we have for flu. It’s the same thing, they are both mRNA viruses, and...

Cdl. Müller: Biden administration leads campaign ‘to de-Christianize Western culture’‘I cannot support a pro-abortion politician because he builds social housing,’ Müller said in an interview with German media.January 26, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Gerhard Müller has warned that the United States government under President Joe Biden, “with its concentrated political, media and economic power, is at the forefront of the most subtly brutal campaign in the last 100 years to de-Christianize Western culture.”In an interview with German-speaking Catholic news website kath.net released earlier today, Müller said there are “good...

On multiple occasions over the last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has proclaimed justification for President Trump’s upcoming impeachment trial by claiming it’s about “healing.” This isn’t just placate-speak coming from a Democrat, which we often hear. This is absolutely accurate from his perspective. And therein lies the real reason this impeachment trial is going forward.NOT A JOKE: Schumer Says Only an Impeachment Trial of Trump Can ‘Bring Healing’ to the Country https://t.co/LzwlDanQ80— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) January 25, 2021Most speculation has surrounded the stated notion that impeaching him will prevent him from running for office again. They have to...

A 26-year-old Madison man has agreed to plead guilty to the attempted arson of the City-County Building during destructive protests on June 23 that led to the toppling of two statues Downtown, court documents show. Under a plea agreement filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Madison, Marquon M. Clark would face between six and nine years in federal prison, to run at the same time as a state prison sentence Clark is serving, and pay restitution of $105,171. He is accused of throwing a flaming roll of paper towels into a window of the City-County Building, starting a small...

Kellyanne Conway’s 16-year-old daughter, Claudia, claimed on social media that her mother took away her phone and tweeted out a topless photo of the teenager. The illicit photo allegedly appeared on the elder Conway’s Twitter account under the new Fleets feature — which automatically deletes posts after 24 hours. SNIP “And I guess she accidentally posted it, or somebody hacked her,” Claudia continued in the post, which was also deleted but saved by users on Twitter. “But nobody would ever have any photo like that ever. So, Kellyanne, you’re going to ******* jail.”

Newly-inaugurated President Biden is likely to take office and push for a flurry of new legislation. Yet while all eyes will be on Biden’s proposals for COVID-19 relief, healthcare policy, and undoing the 2017 tax reform law, two other dangerous ideas are flying under the radar. The first of these is a proposal to implement a so-called “mark-to-market” regime for taxing unrealized capital gains. Currently, taxpayers pay tax only on “realized” capital gains — in other words, when the asset is sold and you bank a profit. Though its on-paper value might fluctuate during ownership, only when an asset like...

Twitter banned My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell from the platform after he used his account to spread baseless claims about fraud in the presidential election. Twitter said Tuesday that it permanently suspended Lindell — a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump — because of his “repeated violations” of the company’s civic integrity policy, which it implemented last fall to clamp down on misinformation. Twitter didn’t say which of Lindell’s posts pushed it over the edge. But he had used his personal account and My Pillow’s corporate account in recent months to post and share bogus rumors about widespread election...

The definitive list of liberal, progressive and/or anti-Trump, agenda driven companies that you should boycott The Cardinal rule of business is to never even discuss politics, yet some companies have recklessly chosen to alienate half the country by attacking Donald Trump and/or Republicans, pushing for censorship of conservative speech, and/or supporting the false narrative of systemic racism in police and in America in general. These companies are a threat to our freedoms. If we do nothing, then their left-wing political agendas and so-called 'values' become the norm. Many companies have been bullied by radical activists into supporting the Marxist hate...

Men in plural marriage are now confused as they go about their life under curfew and decide with which wife they will spend this period. Though it makes sense that a husband under curfew may opt for living with the one he loves most, there is a religious duty that he must achieve justice among his wives. No strain After all, they should try to make sure that their time is divided equally to avoid jealousy among their wives, so that COVI-19 will not strain their relationship. With Kuwait enforcing a total curfew running until May 30, Al Rai newspaper...

As one American university after another suspended research ties with Huawei for its alleged ties to Chinese espionage, MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte offered a full-throttle defense of the company. "Don't ban Huawei," read a May 2019 column published under Negroponte's name. "The U.S. should collaborate with leading technology companies and their research labs, rather than banning them." Negroponte, however, did not write the column, at least according to Huawei employee Winter Wright, who noted on his LinkedIn profile that he ghostwrote the article on behalf of the MIT scholar, whose research center has received millions of dollars in...

MIAMI – Florida’s chief financial officer on Monday told the International Olympic Committee that the state would be happy to host the Olympics Games amid speculation that current host Japan may back out. Jimmy Patronis sent a letter to Thomas Bach, the head of the IOC, “to encourage you to consider relocating the 2021 Olympics from Tokyo, Japan to the United States of America, and more specifically to Florida.” “With media reports of leaders in Japan ‘privately’ concluding that they are too concerned about the pandemic for the 2021 Olympics to take place, there is still time to deploy a...

The Fed's most frequent lament is that no matter how many trillions in bonds (and stocks and ETFs) it buys or how much liquidity it forehoses into the market, it just can't push inflation higher.Well, here's an idea: maybe all the central-planning megabrains at the Marriner Eccles building and 33 Liberty Street can take a break from whatever circle jerk they are engaged in right now, and look at the latest Case Shiller numbers which showed not only that home prices surged at the fastest pace in seven years, rising more than 9% compared to a year ago...... but that...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband has placed up to $1 million worth of bullish bets on Tesla stock, the politician revealed in a financial disclosure form last week. Paul Pelosi, who runs an investment firm, bought 25 call options on Tesla stock with a strike price of $500 and an expiration date of March 18, 2022. He spent between $500,001 and $1 million on them on December 22. The call options give him the right to buy 2,500 Tesla shares at $500 each at any point before they expire in March 2022. That may sound like a fantastic deal with...

Leonardo DiCaprio has signed an open letter to new US President Joe Biden urging him to tackle the climate crisis. Last week, President Biden returned the US to the Paris Agreement – an international pact determined to combat the climate crisis. In 2017, Donald Trump withdrew America from the agreement. Writing on Instagram, DiCaprio said: “The time for us to confront the #ClimateCrisis is now.” He added: “Today, I join world leaders from business, government, labor and the environmental movement in calling on President @JoeBiden @POTUS to be the climate leader we need and that science demands.” DiCaprio linked the...

Personnel is policy is an adage that has been around Washington, D.C. almost as long as President Joe Biden. His administration is certainly no exception. Biden’s picks for key domestic policy roles have a history of abortion extremism and will no doubt make this administration the most radical, pro-abortion administration in history.In a typical administration, the secretarial positions are peppered with superstars or controversial figures of the respective political party, including former rivals for the presidential nomination. But instead of crafting policy through these different departments, the Biden administration is poised to direct policy through the Office of Management and...
