Matt Gaetz enters Hunter Biden laptop into congressional record | Washington Examiner: 

Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz entered contents from the laptop believed to belong to Hunter Biden into the congressional record during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday.

The move followed a heated exchange between Gaetz and Bryan Vorndran, assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division, who informed the congressman that he had no information about the status of the copy of the laptop hard drive the FBI has had in its possession since 2019 as the president's son faces a federal investigation into his financial and foreign business affairs.

Bernie Sanders Just Proposed a 95% Business Tax. Here’s Why That’s So Absurd

Bernie Sanders Just Proposed a 95% Business Tax. Here’s Why That’s So Absurd

• What’s really driving this proposal is not substantive policy considerations, but the senator's deeply ingrained propensity toward class warfare and envy.

"...Here are some of the details of the senator’s plan.

“Companies would pay the current 21% corporate tax rate on earnings up to the amounts they recorded before the pandemic, and then have to pay a 95% rate for profits above those levels,” Bloomberg explains. “The total tax is capped at 75% of a company’s income in a single year. The levy would only apply to corporations with at least $500 million in annual revenue.”

Here are three big problems with this radical and misguided proposal.

Horowitz: Idaho gov defends employer vaccine mandates as 'limited government' after having locked down his state - TheBlaze: .

In Brad Little’s Orwellian mind, liberty is tyranny, and tyranny is liberty. To deny COVID treatment, to block prescriptions, to shut down churches and businesses, to discriminate based on Pfizer status, and to criminalize the breathing of children is all liberty and limited government, in Little’s estimation. To bar such immoral, illegal, illogical, and inhumane treatment is tyranny!

To this day, there is an Idaho woman with pending charges against her for simply bringing her kid to a park during Brad Little’s lockdown. Idaho is a red state with a blue management team.

Dr. Fauci might be retiring soon, but his legacy lives on strong in the ruby red state of Idaho thanks to Gov. Brad Little.

"Everyone has unrealized gains and they want them. 

They’ll start with a wealth tax of net worth over $1 billion and once they have the procedures in place, number will get lower and lower until tens of millions of you will be paying it. 

If you pay off your mortgage, have a good 401K or IRA, you will be shocked at how fast you pay.

"A 12-year-old EV will be on its third battery."

Facebook: Mike Shuman
"Ileana Johnson--Thoughts to ponder:

• In order to match the 2,000 cars that a typical filling station can service in a busy 12 hours, an EV charging station would require 600, 50-watt chargers at an estimated cost of $24 million and a supply of 30 megawatts of power from the grid. That is enough to power 20,000 homes. 
• ...it can take 30 minutes to 8 hours to recharge a vehicle between empty or just topping off. ...installing electric car charging stations in a city is impractical: “If you’ve got cars coming into a petrol station, they would stay for an average of five minutes. If you’ve got cars coming into an electric charging station, they would be at least 30 minutes, possibly an hour, but let’s say its 30 minutes. So that’s six times the surface area to park the cars while they’re being charged....
• Used Car Market--The average used EV will need a new battery before an owner can sell it, pricing them well above used internal combustion cars. The average age of an American car on the road is 12 years. A 12-year-old EV will be on its third battery. A Tesla battery typically costs $10,000 so there will not be many 12-year-old EVs on the road...Read all.

Some fear a recession is 'inevitable' thanks to Biden's economic woes and the Fed's horrible track record for fixing inflation - TheBlaze: 

In its report on the Fed's inflation-fixing track record, Politico begrudgingly noted that worries surrounding a recession are "more pronounced" this time around due to "extraordinary circumstances" plaguing the U.S. economy under President Joe Biden. Such circumstances include historically high inflation, major supply chain disruptions, widespread staffing shortages, and a war in Ukraine that has upended global energy markets.

Covid Pandemic and Climate Change Facts: Fact Checking the Fact Checkers

"...In the two of the most contentious areas of contemporary affairs – the impact of the covid pandemic and climate change on lives and livelihood – the question of just what the “facts” are remains as elusive to many of us as to our parents and grandparents who grappled with problems of their own times. 

... today’s factcheckers are self-appointed media gatekeepers. 

They purport to winnow out the chaff of misinformation and “fake news” from the grain of facts and narrative truth. 

• But are they the guardians of truth and accountability as they claim or are they the enforcers of the reigning political narrative? 
• Are they the arbiters of “consensus science” (an oxymoron) that allegedly encompasses truths about climate change or the covid pandemic? 
• Are they the stalwarts of partisan politics, purveyors themselves of fakery and hype that they claim to combat?...Read all.

"California’s first-in-the-nation task force on reparations is at a crossroads, with members divided on which Black Americans should be eligible for compensation as atonement for a slave system that officially ended with the Civil War but reverberates to this day.

• Some members want to limit financial and other compensation to descendants of enslaved people 
• while others say that all Black people in the U.S., regardless of lineage, suffer from systemic racism in housing, education and employment. 

...California Assemblyman Reginald Jones-Sawyer, a member of the task force, said there is no question that descendants of slaves are the priority, but he said the task force also needs to stop ongoing harm and prevent future harm from racism...Read all.
