BIDEN’S $7.3 TRILLION NIGHTMARE

BIDEN’S $7.3 Trillion Nightmare

Joe Biden’s budget proposal is a campaign pitch that would be disastrous in practice.

by Nate Jackson   March 12, 2024

Our first thought when seeing Joe Biden’s $7.3 trillion budget proposal was that he must have transposed the numbers and meant $3.7 trillion. But then we remembered reality and our own warnings from four years ago — that “emergency” COVID spending would create a new floor for federal spending, and there would be no looking back.

When Biden took office, the national debt was $27.7 trillion, but here we are, $34.5 trillion in debt and counting, and all President Fiscal Responsibility wants to do is tax more and spend even more than that.

His budget represents an 18% increase over two years, and he’s proposing massive deficits as far as the eye can see. He wants spending to reach nearly 25% of GDP on federal outlays, which is a major increase over the 21% average of his 50 years in Washington. It’s also a lot more than tax revenue will provide — even at roughly 20% of GDP, which is far higher than the 50-year average of 17.3%.

Biden wants almost $5 trillion in tax hikes, yet that won’t even begin to fund his spending plans. This is the same guy who doubled the deficit last year and then boasted five times in his State of the Union address last week that he had “cut the deficit.” Heck, he’s got the gall to claim this budget proposal cuts the deficit by $3 trillion in 10 years. From what alternate reality?

CREATIVE DESTRUCTION AND TRUMP

Trump Victory May Forecast Creative Destruction

Chaos may lead to renewal

“Creative destruction,” the term coined by Joseph Schumpeter to describe the power of capitalism to create something greater from the destruction of something lesser, is an optimistic forecast of the outcome of Monday’s vote in the Iowa Caucuses.

Former President Donald Trump resoundingly won the contest, setting himself up for a triumphant return as the GOP nominee who will confront whomever the Democrats nominate this year, whether it is an ailing and unpopular President Joe Biden or a late-game substitute.

Within the Republican contest, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, whom I favored, couldn’t overcome the wellspring of support for Trump that came from unfair, undemocratic prosecutions by the Biden administration and local hick prosecutors in New York City and Atlanta. Those prosecutors and officials in Colorado, Maine and elsewhere who have sought illegally and outrageously to deny voters the option of voting for Trump—supposedly in the name of democracy—helped propel his ascent.

Trump still faces former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, but the former president seems likely to prevail. Haley is a happy warrior like Trump, but will be cast as a globalist, neoconservative, establishment Republican for the simple reason that she is one. Few on the Right beyond the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Chamber of Commerce long for uncontrolled immigration, exporting manufacturing to Asia, or funding the defense of wealthy European moochers.

But Iowa was about more than the prosecutions. Trump is right on policy and right on the image of America, which appealed to Iowa voters. They want the Three Fat Years of economic growth that Trump and his economic team achieved before China inflicted the COVID-19 pandemic on the world. Through those years, Trump had ended the decade of economic malaise that created the populist wave that brought him to power. He made everyone willing to work hard better off—especially minorities.

HIGHER ED HAS BECOME A THREAT TO AMERICA

Monday, December 11th, 2023

Higher Ed Has Become a Threat to America

Our corrupt, radical universities feed every scourge from censorship and crime to antisemitism.

By John Ellis

Mr. Ellis is a professor emeritus of German literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz and author of “The Breakdown of Higher Education: How It Happened, the Damage It Does, and What Can Be Done.”

December 4, 2023

America faces a formidable range of calamities: crime out of control, borders in chaos by design, children poorly educated while sexualized and politicized against parental opposition, unconstitutional censorship, a press that does government PR rather than oversight, our institutions and corporations debased in the name of “diversity, equity and inclusion”—and more. To these has been added an outbreak of virulent antisemitism.

Every one of these degradations can be traced wholly or in large part to a single source: the corruption of higher education by radical political activists.

Children’s test scores have plummeted because college education departments train teachers to prioritize “social justice” over education. Censorship started with one-party campuses shutting down conservative voices. The coddling of criminals originated with academia’s devotion to Michel Foucault’s idea that criminals are victims, not victimizers. The drive to separate children from their parents begins in longstanding campus contempt for the suburban home and nuclear family. Radicalized college journalism departments promote far-left advocacy. Open borders reflect pro-globalism and anti-nation state sentiment among radical professors. DEI started as a campus ruse to justify racial quotas. Campus antisemitism grew out of ideologies like “anticolonialism,” “anticapitalism” and “intersectionality.”

Never have college campuses exerted so great or so destructive an influence. Once an indispensable support of our advanced society, academia has become a cancer metastasizing through its vital organs. The radical left is the cause, most obviously through the one-party campuses having graduated an entire generation of young Americans indoctrinated with their ideas.

And there are other ways. Academia has a monopoly on training for the most influential professions. The destructive influence of campus schools of education and journalism already noted is matched in the law, medicine, social work, etc. Academia’s suppression of the Constitution causes still more damage. Hostility to the Constitution leads to banana-republic shenanigans: suppression of antigovernment speech, the press’s acting as mouthpiece for government, law enforcement used to harass opponents of the government.

WHAT THE LEFT DID TO OUR COUNTRY – VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

WHAT THE LEFT DID TO OUR COUNTRY
September 4, 2023

In the last 20 years, the Left has boasted that it has gained control of most of America institutions of power and influence—the corporate boardroom, media, Silicon Valley, Wall Street, the administrative state, academia, foundations, social media, entertainment, professional sports, and Hollywood.

With such support, between 2009-17, Barack Obama was empowered to transform the Democratic Party from its middle-class roots and class concerns into the party of the bicoastal rich and subsidized poor—obsessions with big money, race, a new intolerant green religion, and dividing the country into a binary of oppressors and oppressed.

The Obamas entered the presidency spouting the usual leftwing boilerplate (“spread the wealth,” “just downright mean country,” “get in their face,” “first time I’ve been proud of my country”) as upper-middle-class, former community activists, hurt that their genius and talents had not yet been sufficiently monetized.

5 Students Brutally Murdered By Mexican Cartel After Being Lured By Job Offer

Five students whose ages ranged from 19 to 22 were lured to meet with a Mexican drug cartel with a fake job offer. The young men were then kidnapped and brutally murdered by the cartel on video.

According to El Universal, the five young men, who were all childhood friends, were lured into a meeting with the Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) Cartel with a fake job offer. The cartel lured them to the meeting with the intent of recruiting them to their ranks.

The cartel reportedly killed them after the young men refused.

Reports suggest that the five students had contacted a call center in order to gain employment. However, the center was run by the CJNG cartel with the purpose of luring people and forcibly recruiting members to their ranks. The men had reportedly met with a contact in a town after attending a festival in the city of Lagos de Moreno, an area known for cartel violence. They were not seen again until a video of their murders aired.

The graphic video, which had been broadcast on Mexican national television, showed the young men in an abandoned building, duct-taped, beaten, stabbed and beheaded. The video also showed one of the young men being forced to beat, stab and behead one of his friends.
