Joe Biden delivers a speech to a Joint Session of Congress, April 28, 2021. As a friend said during a lunch date Wednesday, “Why is anyone surprised that Biden is doing exactly what we all told them he would do if he won the election?” The only thing somewhat surprising is the speed at which he’s enacting his (or Jill’s, or Kamala’s) totalitarian agenda. Since many of the individual pieces of the Democrat party’s wet dream wish list of brutal legislation can’t pass on their own (s...

Joe Biden argued that “America is on the move again” in his first address to Congress, where he unveiled a sweeping $1.8tn package for families and education and pitched his “blue-collar blueprint” to re-build America. Flanked by two women – Vice-President Kamala Harris and House speaker Nancy Pelosi – for the first time in US history, the president gave his speech on the eve of his 100th day in office as the country continues to fight the...

Biden Launching A Broad Attack On Our Prosperity https://www.nysun.com/national/biden-launching-a-broad-attack-on-our-prosperity/91491/ So let me get this right. President Biden has proposed the highest capital gains tax in, probably, history. I’m not quite sure. I know, though, that it’s the highest in the past 50 years. At 43.4% — added with the corporate tax — that gets you to more than 50%. And then, of course, state capital gains will get you close to 60%. Nobody in Europe is even clos...

The task force will look into existing and new policies to strengthen worker power. The rate of unionization has fallen in the past 40 years, and Amazon workers recently led a failed union drive. President Joe Biden is creating a task force to help promote and strengthen union membership through an executive order today. According to the White House, the task force — which will be chaired by Vice President Kamala Harris, with Labor Secretary Marty Walsh serving as vice chair — will focus on...

22 Apr 2021 Next Thursday marks President Biden’s 100th day in office. On Wednesday night, Biden will give a joint address to Congress claiming his time so far has been a historic success. He will try to take credit for the Trump administration’s accomplishments, including the Covid-19 vaccine and ending the war in Afghanistan. He will try to claim that his government spending blowout and proposed tax increases and labor regulations will help the economy, which reached new heights under Tru...

For The Inter-Mountain WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., spoke with West Virginia press Wednesday as details of President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan came into focus and two days after Manchin came out in favor of a bill meant to help grow labor unions. Manchin held a virtual press conference Wednesday morning from his Senate office in Washington, D.C. Biden proposed a $2.3 trillion broad infrastructure package at the end of March, though a specific bill has yet to be present...

GOP eyes new strategy to derail Biden infrastructure plan Alexander Bolton © Greg Nash Sen. Lindsey Graham (D-S.C.) Republicans say President Bidens $2.3 trillion infrastructure package will have a tough time getting through the Senate intact because of several key provisions that will open the legislation up to parliamentary challenges under the arcane Byrd Rule. GOP lawmakers plan to raise numerous procedural objections to the eventual bill, arguing that various elements v...

Talk about demolishing norms. Two of those are right in the Constitution. And the other — a nine-justice Supreme Court — has been around since 1869. But the Democrats under a Joe Biden executive office don’t care about that, apparently. Probably because, much like with their efforts to push the PRO Act and H.R.1 — both of which would override state laws related to right-to-work and elections, respectively — they need to upend the regular order so they can find ways to win that don’t...
