Trump economic adviser and FreedomWorks economist Stephen Moore shares his take on the latest stimulus package.
Walmart is blaming a short-lived tweet calling GOP Sen. Josh Hawley a #soreloser on a mistake by an employee who meant to add the comment to a personal account rather than the retailer s corporate Twitter page.
The eyebrow-raising post Wednesday was made in response to a statement from Hawley announcing he d object to certifying electoral college votes for President-elect Joe Biden.
Hawley is among a number of Republican lawmakers who have backed President Trump s so-far-unproven claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 elections. Trump, who garnered 232 electoral college votes to Biden s 306, has refused to accept the results.
$2,000 stimulus checks all but dead as McConnell cites no realistic path in Senate to increase

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump s push for $2,000 COVID-19 relief checks all but died Wednesday as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said a stand-alone bill has no realistic path to quickly pass, and proposed an alternative approach of loading up the bill with other White House priorities that appeared destined to fail.
The roadblock set by Senate Republicans appears unsurmountable, even as pressure builds to approve the bigger checks. Trump wants the Republican-led chamber to follow the House and increase the checks from $600 for millions of Americans. A growing number of Republicans, including two senators in runoff elections on Jan. 5 in Georgia, agree. But most GOP senators oppose more spending, even if they are also wary of bucking Trump.

EDDYVILLE â The War on Carp continues in Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, as U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has secured some $25 million for that purpose.
The funding was renewed, matching the same amount in the federal governmentâs budget of the previous year, all according to Lyon County Judge-executive Wade Whiteâs recent post on the War on Carp Facebook page.
These funds supplement an additional $45 million through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which will aim at barriers and other ways to stop the movement of carp, White noted in his post.
