Wednesday ahead of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s testimony before the Senate , Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) slammed the White House for “trying to diminish the involvement of parents in their kids’ schools.” Garland ordered the FBI to probe parents speaking out against school boards because a letter from the National School Board Association labeled the concerned parents as “domestic terrorists.” The NSBA has since withdrawn and apologized for the letter. Kennedy said Garland was acting as a “vessel” for the White House and “won’t back off until the White House tells him to.” “Merrick Garland is the vessel here. The...

A wealth tax and 15 percent global minimum tax are under consideration, along with a provision that allows the IRS to spy on American bank accounts. The first tax Democrats are weighing is a 15 percent corporate minimum, which would reportedly burden 200 companies with “profits” above $1 billion. Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Angus King (I-ME) have proposed the measure. Apparently Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) approve of the plan. “The trio said the Joint Tax Committee had estimated it...

A new article published by Becker’s Hospital Review shows a disturbing healthcare trend that disproportionately affects women and newborn babies. Since September 1, 2021, ten hospitals have announced they are reducing services for staffing and financial reasons. Of those ten hospitals, five have announced they are ending services related to Obstetrics, Gynecology, and/or newborn infant care. Citied as one of the contributing factors for halting services to women and babies is staff resignations related to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. In Lewiston Maine, Central Maine Medical Center is closing its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) specifically due staff resignations over the COVID-19...
