On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Bill McMorris, senior editor for the Washington Free Beacon, joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss his recent article, Unions Focus on Woke Over Work Rankles Rank and File and why union priorities are becoming increasingly jumbled.

Unions are increasingly getting involved in social issues that their members not only dont see as their own interests, [but] that oftentimes run against what these members believe. And I think this is going to have major implications for solidarity moving forward, for union support among the rank and file, and even more important, the ability of unions to actually marshal their support among their members, McMorris said.

McMorris said this shift in the union movement is not only ignoring the issues plaguing blue-collar workers but focusing on things that tend to divide people.

Instead of talking about the fact that their pensions have been slashed and their wages have been relatively stagnant, they are focusing on pronouns, McMorris said. Its a very funny thing to see how solidarity in the labor movement was split apart, totally fractured by a focus on identity politics.

Why Unions Prioritize 'Wokeness' Over Their Own Blue-Collar Workers - The Federalist

After the release of an explosive watchdog report on the FBIs handling of serial pedophile Larry Nassar, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold an oversight hearing to examine the bureaus botched investigation.

The report, which confirms suspicions that the FBI gravely mishandled multiple sexual assault allegations against Nassar, details serious errors that allowed Nassar to abuse hundreds of women for years.

The FBIs gross mishandling of the reports of Nassers abuse led to more athletes suffering unimaginable pain. There must be accountability for this chilling failure to properly investigate and false statements potentially intended to cover-up that failure, said Sen. Richard Blumenthal. [FBI] Director [Christopher] Wray must answer to the Judiciary Committee and the American people for the findings of this report, immediately terminate the agent involved, and explain in detail what steps are being taken to guarantee this never happens again.

Despite multiple allegations against Nassar that were reported numerous times to FBI field offices from 2015-2017, a formal FBI investigation wasnt opened until the Michigan State University Police Department found Nassars stash of child pornography after receiving a complaint of sexual abuse from an MSU athlete. Subsequently, the Indianapolis Field Office lied about its handling of the original reports. At least two field offices failed to notify state and local authorities of Nassars alleged wrongdoings.

During this time, Nassar kept his positions at MSU, childrens gymnastics club Twistars, and a high school athletic building for months before authorities caught on.

In a 2018 letter, committee leaders led the charge for details about the FBIs handling of the Nassar case. Now that the report confirmed expansive federal negligence and fundamental errors that led to 70 women being abused in the time period that the FBI knew about the abuse, yet failed to act, the Committees hearing will aim to hold the FBI accountable.

Last week, the FBI released a vague statement in response to the released report:

Prior to today, the FBI initiated improvements to make sure that serious allegations, such as these, are promptly shared with our law enforcement partners and within the FBI. As a continuation of these efforts, the FBI is fully committed to implementing all of the recommendations made by the Inspector General, the statement read. We will take all necessary steps to ensure that the failures of the employees outlined in the report do not happen again.

The FBI did not specify what measures it would take to ensure that young girls would not be exposed to alleged abusers under its watch again. The DOJs report included no evidence that FBI officers who failed to follow basic procedures were punished.

Recently, John Manly, the lead attorney for over 150 victims, insisted upon criminal charges against negligent FBI agents.

The FBI betrayed generations of Olympic champions. It betrayed the hundreds of children Nassar savaged, and it betrayed the American peoples trust, Manly said in a statement. Those responsible need to be held to account, with all the force the law can provide.

Nassar is sentenced to hundreds of years for his crimes, but federal agents who looked the other way currently face no criminal charges for their inaction.

The IG report confirms my fears that the FBI dropped the ball, allowing abuses to continue for months. The Judiciary Committees upcoming hearing is a continuation of our oversight to get to the bottom of this, Sen. Chuck Grassley said. The FBI owes the American people an accounting for its failure to protect these children, and explanation for how it plans to do better in the future.

Senators Demand Answers On How The FBI Botched Nassar Investigation - The Federalist

The Washington Post published an almost 7,000-word investigative story last week with the provocative title How Tucker Carlson became the voice of White grievance. Far more interesting than the content of the article was the Posts flagrantly obvious attempt to discredit Carlson. Its become incredibly easy to tell who scares corporate media most.

You might not be surprised that the Posts remarkably expansive consideration of Carlson offers little discussion of his political opinions. Instead, it tracks down old contacts like his first-grade teacher and cites his ideological opponents like one Rev. Albert Sampson.

You likely also wouldnt be surprised that Carlson didnt respond to multiple attempts to reach him again. In a written statement, Carlson instead curtly declared: You want to make me shut up, so you call me a racist. Ive seen it before.

Is he wrong? A survey of the Washington Posts pages will find the paper hasnt offered similarly extensive hit pieces on the darlings of the leftist networks. Save the opinion page, reporting and commentary on MSNBCs Rachel Maddow, for example, has been almost unilaterally positive, despite her years-long coverage of the Trump-Russia collusion allegations that even Politico admits was disastrously wrong. The same is true for CNNs Don Lemon, and other leftist television commentators.

There is a reason for this, and typically its not because conservatives or Republicans are any more fallible than their opponents across the aisle. Its pretty easy to spot the people the corporate media most fear. Just look at who they are piling on to destroy, and youll be able to identify who these outlets see as the greatest threat to their progressivist political objectives.

Consider the other personalities the Post has invested similar resources in denigrating. In May, the Post published a 5,000-word attack on Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley titled Grievance, rebellion and burnt bridges: Tracing Josh Hawleys path to the insurrection (which The Federalist rightly called out).

The Post has likewiseattacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. These digs have accompanied CBS 60 Minutess false accusations of vaccine rollout corruption against the governor, while Politico maligned him for supposedly being mean to his staff and trusting his wife too much. Corporate media have likewise sought to impugn Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin.

In comparison, how much critical reporting has corporate media conducted about California Gov. Gavin Newsom, despite his egregious mistakes and hypocrisy in reacting to COVID-19? How many Democrat governors do you ever hear called out in the news?

Meanwhile, corporate media persistently attempt to discredit not only DeSantis, but South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. It doesnt matter whether the issue is COVID-19, voting regulations, abortion, or transgenderism, corporate media are ever eager to pounce on any perceived vulnerabilities in conservatives or Republicans.

Of course, this trend serves as yet one more data point exposing the not-so-subtle prejudices in corporate media. (By this time we hardly require further evidence.) One could just as easily cite the corporate medias lie that the U.S. Park Police cleared peaceful protesters at Lafayette Square last summer.

Or their unjust attacks on anyone who suggested the coronavirus might have leaked from a lab in Wuhan. Or their coverage of police shootings. Or their worshipful reporting of President Biden. Or their refusal to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop controversy directly before last years presidential election.

Yet corporate media attacks on people like Carlson and DeSantis also offer reason for hope. Because the truth is, theyre scared. No political institution and thats essentially what the Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, and similar outlets are now invests energy in smearing the small and insignificant.

Theres no point in mercilessly (and fraudulently) attacking people you are already confident you will soundly defeat in the next election. When you are securely on top, you dont bother. Tom Brady doesnt troll Mitchell Trubisky. The Los Angeles Dodgers dont launch takedown campaigns against the Baltimore Orioles.

People go on the offensive against those they fear. If thats the case, it means corporate media truly do fear the likes of Carlson, Hawley, DeSantis, and Younkin. These men perceive the weak underbelly of progressivist ideology, from disingenuous attempts to downplay and defend critical race theory to excuses for the current administrations immigration crisis. So, having few (if any) scruples left, the corporate media serves as the attack dog of the Democratic Party.

Corporate medias fear means there is indeed hope of reversing the broader political and cultural trends that have intensified not only the border crisis, but the rising homicide rate, the spike in overdose deaths, Americans loss of faith in public education, and many other worrying trends. Conservatives must not be cowed by unjust and unprofessional smear campaigns against us and our leaders.

Conservatives must continue arguing for a coherent, cohesive vision of America that does not divide us vis-a-vis the blinkered thinking of identity politics, but unites us around the great, time-tested principles of our nation. Unlike the corporate media, conservatives need not fear. They have truth on our side.

Media Smears Conservatives Who Threaten Their Mind Hegemony - The Federalist

Dr. Anthony Fauci took cues from the White House, which recently bragged about colluding with Big Tech to squash dissenters, to unleash a horde of COVID-19 propaganda from various bureaucrats and Democrat legislators that the corrupt corporate media proudly disseminated.

In an interview with CNNs far-left anchor Jim Acosta, the scandal-plagued Fauci expressed support for the Biden administrations campaign to ban people from social media sites. He also said that the disinformation and misinformation coming from conservative news outlets such as Fox News is really, really a problem.

If you look at the extraordinary, historic success in eradicating smallpox and eliminating polio from most of the world. And were on the brink of eradicating polio. If we had had the pushback, for vaccines, the way were seeing on certain media, I dont think it would have been possible, at all, to not only eradicate smallpox, Fauci said. We probably would still have smallpox. And we probably would still have polio in this country if we had the kind of false information thats being spread, now. If we had that back, decades ago, I would be certain that wed still have polio in this country.

Shortly after Faucis comments aired and President Joe Biden claimed that Facebook is killing people, CNN Anchor Dana Bash asked U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy whether he believes conservative media outlets airing dissenting COVID-19 rhetoric also play a role in killing people.

Dana, I think all of us, including the media, including individuals, health professionals, have a responsibility to share the truth about health as science dictates, as science informs us. And, you know, unless we do that unless we are honest about the consequences of our communication with people, unless we are rigorous about ensuring that what we communicate is actually sourced from science and not from an opinion on critical issues like the vaccine, then we are going to ultimately put people at risk, Murthy said after urging Big Tech to censor misinformation super-spreaders in his new report.

Not only did bureaucrats in the administration quickly work to amplify a pro-censorship and government-controlled information stream, but Democrat legislators also suggested that the White House didnt take its suppression campaign on vaccine-cautious users and posts far enough.

Social media has greatly contributed to this misinformation. Theres no doubt, Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota told Bash. I think we also should look at changing the liability standards when it comes to vaccine misinformation. When we have a public health crisis and people are dying every day, enough is enough. These are the richest companies in the world. They are, Dana. Theres absolutely no reason they shouldnt be able to monitor this better and take this crap off of their platforms that are basically telling people, oh, hey, theres problems, when we know science proves there isnt.

CNN was eager to push the narrative from the Biden administration that conservative media outlets deserve to be punished for airing vaccine-hesitancy but less than a year ago, when former President Donald Trump was still in office, the Democrat mouthpiece outlet and many others in corporate media were quick to amplify vaccine skepticism.

Headlines from leftist-led publications cast doubt on the vaccine timeline and amplified Biden and Vice President Kamala Harriss fears of a politicized approval process.

Biden, Seizing on Worries of a Rushed Vaccine, Warns Trump Cant Be Trusted, the New York Timeswrote.

Trump Vaccine Chief Casts Doubt on Coronavirus Vaccine by Election Day, was anotherNYTheadline.

Trump promises coronavirus vaccine by end of the year, but his own experts temper expectations, said anABC News headline in May 2o20.

HHS whistleblower says coronavirus vaccine wont be ready in 18 months: Weve never seen everything go perfectly, another May 2020 CNBCheadline reads.

Vaccines for Millions Ready This Year: The Impossible Dream? speculatedBloombergthat same month.

Contradicting The CDC, Trump Says COVID-19 Vaccine Could Be Ready By End Of Year,NPRpublished.

Even Bash, a hungry accomplice in the Democrats attempts to boost censorship as necessary for the health of Americans, was quick to bring on and ask Harris if she would be willing to get a COVID-19 vaccine created under the Trump administration, setting up a narrative that reporters, anchors, and hosts at CNN carried for months.

Later that day, CNN replayed an excerpt of Harris interview and prefaced it by saying medical experts are skeptical of Trumps timeline, Fox News noted. CNN then enlisted medical contributor Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to explain Americans have a reason to be worried when it comes to Trumps vaccine.

When criticism of the manufactured skepticism arose, CNN talking heads defended Biden and Harris from accusations.

Trump is mischaracterizing Harris answer when asked if she would trust a vaccine touted by Trump Trump, who has repeatedly undermined public health experts and pressured government agencies to rush a vaccine, insisting Harris is playing politics, CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond said. Even as he continues to suggest, without any evidence, that a vaccine could be ready by Election Day.

Big Tech, now egged on by the White House, already displayed its loyalty to the Democrats by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story, censoring valid claims about the 2020 election, and subjecting every user posting about COVID-19 to a myriad of labels, disclaimers, and fake fact-checks, all of which led back to government sites. Now, the crosshairs on conservatives and conservative media are clearer than ever.

Fauci Unleashes His Propaganda Horde In War With The Free Press - The Federalist

U.S. Department of Justice officials deliberately delayed an investigation into Hunter Bidens potential tax law violations and sketchy overseas business dealings because of the effect it could have on the presidential election, according to a Politico report.

Delawares U.S. Attorney David Weiss allegedly postponed allowing prosecutors to obtain search warrants and issue grand jury subpoenas last summer, after facing pressure from other officials who feared the investigations influence on the 2020 presidential election and now-President Joe Bidens campaign.

They advised [him] to avoid taking any actions that could alert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election, reported Politico, one of the many corporate media outlets that brushed off the possibility of any wrongdoing by Hunter despite the discovery of his incriminating laptop.

One person involved in the discussions told Politico that it was to [Weisss] credit, [that] he listened.

It was a close call, the person said. That case has way more credibility now.

Weiss first assumed his position as a U.S. attorney in 2017 after former President Donald Trump nominated him. As noted by Politico, the nomination was based on the recommendation of Delawares two Democratic senators, who both praised the choice. The attorney has deep ties, previously engaging and even leading a long list of investigations in President Bidens home state of Delaware and on the national level, even connected to the infamous Ukrainian energy firm Burisma with which Hunter Biden was involved.

Shortly after his nomination, Weiss began to explore Hunters roguish business dealings with Chinese businessmen possibly linked to the communist regime. The probe originally focused on possible money laundering and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, but later shifted to questioning whether [Hunter] had paid taxes on all of his income.

When the time came for more formal exploratory measures into Hunters dealings, however, Weiss declined to take any drastic actions that were likely to make the existence of the Hunter Biden probe public because he feared political scrutiny and giving many of then-President Donald Trumps supporters what they were looking for.

Concerns about affecting the presidential election loomed large when Weiss entertained arguments about advancing the probe, according to the person involved in the discussions. No matter what he did, the decision was sure to come under scrutiny for signs of politicization, Politico reported.

Shortly before Election Day, prosecutors and then-Attorney General Bill Barr worked together to keep the investigation from going fully public and decided not to appoint a special investigator for the case.

The probe did not gain widespread attention outside of the conservative media sphere until several weeks after the presidential election, when Hunter Biden released a statement saying Weisss office had notified him of it, noted Politico.

Hunter was quick to hire a defense attorney from legal firm Latham & Watkins in December, just one month before his dad appointed another partner from the same firm, Nicholas McQuaid, to temporarily run the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. Despite his previous work on cases with Hunters attorney, it is still unclear if McQuaid signed a waiver or recused himself from overseeing the investigation into Hunter.

Prosecutor Delayed Hunter Biden Probe To Shield 2020 Electionthefederalist.com - The Federalist

Vaccinated aides for both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and President Joe Biden reportedly tested positive for coronavirus on Tuesday after attending a rooftop reception with lawmakers specifically Texas Democrats, after more than 50 of them skipped town to avoid a quorum vote on an election integrity bill and several contracted COVID-19.

Pelosis aide was tasked with ushering the lawmakers around Washington, D.C., last week, prior to attending a gathering at a hotel with them and a White House official on Wednesday. Six members of the states delegation contracted the coronavirus.

Both individuals have reportedly experienced mild symptoms and have not been in contact with Pelosi or Biden. Yesterday, a fully vaccinated senior spokesperson in the speakers press office tested positive for COVID after contact with members of the Texas state legislature last week, a top Pelosi aide told Fox News in a statement.

A White House official likewise confirmed the report, noting, In accordance with our rigorous COVID-19 protocols, the official remains off campus as they wait for a confirmatory PCR test.

The Texas Democrats received a great deal of flack for flying out of state to avoid executing their duties to the people who elected them. They even took photos of themselves with maskless faces on the plane, while their constituents still suffer from onerous airline mask rules. Peter Doocy, the White House correspondent for Fox News, asked press secretary Jen Psaki about whether the administration views the lawmakers trip as a superspreader event.

Well, I would say, that is not a characterization were making from here, Psaki said. We certainly understand there will be breakthrough cases. Even vaccines that are incredibly effective are not foolproof. Theyre not 100 percent effective, weve seen that. Heres the good news though. We know that these individuals have been vaccinated. It protects from death. It protects from serious illness.

Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris also met with the Texas representatives last week, but she has tested negative for COVID-19, according to Psaki. Left-wing media has repeatedly rebuked Republicans for gathering and identified these as superspreader events.

A new poll indicates a majority of voters, as well as close to half of Democrats, are not confident Vice President Kamala Harris is prepared to step up to fill the role of president should it be necessary.

The Trafalgar/Convention of States poll, which surveyed more than 1,100 likely voters in the 2022 midterm election between July 12 and 13, showed about 64 percent of respondents saying they are not confident Harris is ready to be president, with close to 60 percent being not confident at all.

Our last poll found that most Americans dont believe Joe Biden is actually running the country, and today were learning voters think Kamala Harris tenure as Vice President has been a disaster, and shes absolutely not ready to step in and take his place, said Mark Meckler, president of Convention of States Action. Washington, D.C., has never been more radically out of step with the will of the American people than right now.

The majority of Democrats who participated in the poll maintained confidence that the vice president would be suitable to potentially assume the presidency should it be necessary, but by a slim margin, with 43 percent of them lacking confidence in Harris. Republican responses differed sharply from the left, with 88.4 percent of respondents indicating they are not confident at all or not very confident Harris is prepared to assume the presidency.

In addition to skirting her duties to lead the White Houses immigration response, given that Harris did not visit the southern border for 93 days, a Politico report last month indicated allegations of an abusive atmosphere in the vice presidents office, with staffers noting they often feel mistreated.

It remains unclear if President Joe Biden, the oldest commander-in-chief to date at 78, will run for re-election in 2024.

Poll: Majority Aren't Confident Harris Has What It Takes To Replace Biden - The Federalist

Supported by the Biden White House, top Democrats plan to hide immigration measures in their massive $3.5 trillion spending bill. While the plan is still in drafting, it would provide citizenship to various illegal immigrants, such as those brought across the border as minors and farmworkers already residing in the United States. The Hispanic Caucus and many other Democrats also want to tuck a section into the bill that would provide green cards to essential workers, including COVID health workers.

The tactic which just months ago seemed like a long shot even to liberals is now widely seen as President Joe Bidens best shot at confronting one of Washingtons policy leviathans and delivering on a decades-long party promise, Politico reported.

Clearly, this isnt just the backdoor scheming of a couple of amateurs. A powerful coalition of House Democrats has recently backed the gambit of tackling immigration through the budget, including leaders of the Progressive Caucus, the Hispanic Caucus and the Black Caucus, Politico noted. In the Senate, Majority Whip Dick Durbin, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) are among the strongest proponents.

Durbin confirmed to Politico that Democrats want to include citizenship for some immigrants in the budget bill, but added the decision has not been made how many illegal immigrants the provisions would include.

For all the plans Democrat momentum, the Senate possesses obscure budget rules that may not allow the Democrats massive bill to pass without GOP support. Without the approval of the Senate parliamentarian, the Democrats plan wont work. Her job is to decide whether provisions of a bill passed using the legislative power known as budget reconciliation can evade a GOP filibuster and pass with a simple majority.

Immigration provisions have passed parliamentary scrutiny in the past, but theyve enjoyed substantial bipartisan support. This time, that clearly wouldnt be the case.

Earlier this year, the current parliamentarian already stripped out Democrats minimum wage hike in a coronavirus aid bill, meaning this isnt the first time Democrats have hidden controversial policy measures in spending bills. And the parliamentarian knows it.

The potential for failure nonetheless didnt stop U.S. Representative for California and leader of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Raul Ruiz, from advocating for the Democrats plan as early as January. We have had an every-which-way approach to immigration reform, Ruiz complained. This is currently our best effort.

Some of Ruizs Democrat colleagues were even more transparent, telling Politico they believe the current strategy is their only chance to enact meaningful immigration changes this Congress.

This doesnt mean Democrats will be successful. Multiple lawmakers admitted to Politico that the plan is still a bit messy.

Earlier this year, Sen. Alex Padilla and Rep. Joaquin Castro introduced a bill that would make more than 5 million frontline workers across nearly 20 sectors, including janitors, nurses and farmworkers legal permanent residents. But all Democrats might not be on board with such radicalism, and its still doubtful whether they can force immigration provisions through budget reconciliation. So, theyre embracing trial-and-error.

Taking that backdoor approach to immigration, which wouldnt require a single GOP vote, could cast a chill over any future attempts at bipartisan reform, Politico emphasized.

Democrats Want To Push Immigration Overhaul And Call It 'The Budget' - The Federalist

The American Booksellers Association apologized on Wednesday for including a book about the harms that come with allowing gender-confused children to transition in their July promotional box.

ABA first labeled Abigail Shriers book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters as anti-trans after receiving backlash on social media. In response, the association apologized for committing the inexcusable crime of promoting literature offering an alternative perspective.

This is a serious, violent incident that goes against ABAs ends policies, values, and everything we believe and support, ABA tweeted. We apologize to our trans members and to the trans community for this terrible incident and the pain we caused them. We also apologize to the LGBTQIA+ community at large, and to our bookselling community.

The company went on to conclude that apologies are not enough and that moving forward, the people at ABA are committed to engaging in the critical dialogue needed to inform concrete steps to address the harm we caused.

The apology, while filled with regret mixed with extreme claims about Shriers book, did not appear to be enough for the mob who pressured the association into issuing another groveling statement on Wednesday night about the inclusion of Shriers book and another racist incident where the association confused right-wing extremist Candace Owens book Blackout with another novel.

We traumatized and endangered members of the trans community. We erased Black authors, conflated Black authors, and put the authors in danger through a forced association. We further marginalized communities we want to support, ABA CEO Allison Hill wrote. There is nothing that I can say that will make this right. This should not have happened. I want to apologize for both of these harms and for the pain that ABA caused.

But I know only action matters, she continued. These were egregious, harmful acts that caused violence and pain. One negligent, irresponsible, and racist; the other negligent, irresponsible, and transphobic.

The ABA board of directors also weighed in with their own thoughts that the organization has systemic problems and institutional failures and biases that need to be addressed.

These incidents harmed booksellers, ABA board members, and ABA staff who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or BIPOC, as well as the wider community. They also added to a toxic culture overall, the board wrote. We are not the ABA of two years ago. These actions are antithetical to the values we are working to promote in our organization under the strong leadership of our CEO, Allison Hill, and COO, Joy Dallanegra-Sanger. This is not acceptable behavior and goes against the bylaws changes instituted last year.

Shrier responded to the ABA and said if there were a Hall of Fame for capitulations to Woke bullies, the American Booksellers Association is hereby inducted.

The serious, violent incident they perpetrated? Including my book in a large box of new book samples sent out to independent booksellers, she tweeted.

Trans activists previously tried to cancel Shrier and her bestselling book from Target and other bookshelves all across the nation shortly after it was published. Just this week, two Amazon employees reportedly quit after big tech oligarch Amazon declined to bow to their demands that the company stops selling and profiting off of Shriers transphobic work.

NOT SATIRE: Book Industry Apologizes For Not Burning Book Saying Boys And Girls Are Different Before People Could Read It - The Federalist

There isnt a single major problem that the country is currently mired in that cant be directly traced to the actions of Democrats. Not a single one.

President Joe Biden on Monday was moved to finally acknowledge the wild inflation were experiencing and which some experts predict will last for years to come. Biden said his White House team is confident that most of the price increases are temporary.

Wait a little longer! Things will get better!

When have we heard that before?

Biden faulted the natural laws of supply and demand as the reason for inflation, insisting that, You cant flip the global economic light back on and not expect this to happen.

Sure, now that weve beaten back the pandemic, demand is steadily climbing, so we would logically expect prices to increase. But that doesnt explain why gas prices are the highest theyve been in seven years. It doesnt explain why the price of food is surging, something that didnt go out of demand during the pandemic. Eggs are up nearly 6 percent. Milk is up 11 percent.

No one could possibly think the rocketing prices arent in large part a result of Biden and Democrats in Congress passing their multi-trillion-dollar welfare package (sometimes referred to as COVID relief), which flooded the economy with another round of generous goodies for people who are now making more money by not working, plus yet thousands of dollars more in monthly cash payments to people for no other reason than that they gave birth to a human.

Thats a lot of money Biden has sprayed on us, even as he works to get another multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure bill (a phrase Democrats use to mean free money for expensive child care) through Congress which can only make the problem worse.

Nothing has changed at our jungle of a border. Its getting worse there, too. Since March, the month that Biden made Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the problem he created, Border Patrol encounters of migrants have continued to climb. In April, the number grew from 173,000 to just short of another 179,000. The next month, it was another 180,600. The month after that, just short of another 190,000.

The obscene numbers of migrants coming to the U.S. is 100 percent because of Bidens words and actions. The migrants say so themselves. Biden promised an open border and once he was sworn into office he began dismantling all of the rules his predecessor had put in place to avoid this exact situation. And he bragged while doing it.

Just a little more than a week ago, the Biden administration said it would no longer detain pregnant migrants illegally crossing into the U.S. Hmm Is that likely to reinforce or to undermine Harris direct messages to migrants, Do not come?

Anchor babies aweigh.

Democrats are whining that we seem to have hit a ceiling on the number of adults who want to get vaccinated against COVID-19, with roughly half of the total population having been fully vaccinated. They blame disinformation (aka accurate information that upsets their preferred narrative) put out by right-leaning news outlets like Fox News.

Thats stupid. There are plenty of legitimate reasons why any one person might not want to get vaccinated, but theres one that isnt good and its Democrats fault that anyone holds it.

The pandemic was politicized not because former President Donald Trump wouldnt wear a mask. It was politicized because Democrats blamed every single death caused by a new, highly contagious, airborne virus on him. Then they showered praise on liberal mayors and governors for lockdowns that appeared to do very little, if anything, to slow the spread, while at the same time heaping scorn on Republicans who took actions that more carefully weighed the economy against the virus real threat.

And as much as Biden and Harris would like everyone to forget, they insisted Trump was a delusional idiot telling lies when he said he was hopeful that an effective vaccine would be available before the end of 2020. And then they told everyone to be skeptical of whatever vaccine might come anyway.

If theyre upset that the virus continues to spread Im not convinced they really are they have only themselves to blame.

Lastly, after a year of instigating, excusing, and encouraging violent Black Lives rioting and all of the arson, vandalism and destruction that followed the death of George Floyd in every major city, Democrats are now a little nervous that they may pay a price for of the crime they previously had no problem with.

Homicides in 2020 were up 30 percent from the previous year as local Democrat governments got to work legalizing crime, declining to prosecute looters and hamstringing their police forces.

Who could have ever expected crime to go up under the Democrats banner of defund the police?

Its another problem that could have been avoided but Democrats created. We got here with them behind the wheel.
