The Darkest Secret Behind Democrats’ Economic Policy

I’m a realist. I understand there’s always going to be hypocrisy on both sides of the political aisle. And I also understand that, as far as politics go, monetary policy is pretty much “the third rail.”

As I’ve always said, if there’s one thing that should alarm you about today’s monetary policy — which is damn close to full-on modern monetary theory — it’s the fact that both political parties agree on it. Are there any other issues that you can think of off the top of your head that both parties agree on and never argue about? I sure as hell can’t.

But while both parties have generally embraced the way the country has run monetary policy, their respective stances on how the country runs fiscal policy are quite different. And therein lies the basis for why today’s revelation matters.

There’s no doubt the United States needs to make dramatic spending cuts to prevent itself from spiraling—either downward into an eventual debt default or upward into hyperinflation. If you want a primer on why that is, I’d recommend listening to this one-hour, simple-to-understand synopsis of the country’s financial position, followed by this appearance by Jim Bianco on the Julia LaRoche podcast a couple of days ago.

Right now, the political climate consists of Republicans taking a chainsaw to anything they can get their hands on in government to cut spending, and Democrats protesting any and all cuts for any reason they can drum up. Hashing out individual issues worthy of cuts is not what this article is about, so we’ll save that discussion for another day.

This article is meant to point out the fatal hypocritical flaw that exists in Democrats’ reasoning as it relates to the country’s financials. Everybody understands the simple idea that if we run up too much debt, the country could, in essence, go bankrupt. But what’s really alarming now is the pace at which we are running up this debt. It’s why this chart of the national debt is going parabolically higher. The number $35 trillion is astonishing — but the rate with which we are moving higher is beyond breakneck.

The Left Knew They Were Lying to Us All Along

For years, the left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes that it knew at the time were all false. And now when caught, they just shrug and say they were lying all along.

Once it was known that the first COVID-19 case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-in-function deadly viruses — with help from Western agencies — the left went into full persecution mode.

They damned as incompetent, racist, and conspiratorial any who dared follow logic and evidence to point out that the Chinese government and its military were both culpable for the virus and lying.

A million Americans died of COVID. Millions more suffered long-term injuries. Still, the left-wing media and Biden administration demonized any who dared speak about a lab origin of the deadly virus.

The lies were designed to protect the guilty who had helped fund the virus’s origins, such as Doctors Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins.

The Biden government also tried to use the lab theory to ridicule a supposedly pro-Trump “conspiracy.”

Western corporate interests deeply invested in China did not want their partner held responsible for veritably killing and maiming hundreds of millions worldwide.

Almost as soon as Joe Biden was inaugurated, the left knew that he was physically and mentally unable to serve as president.

Indeed, that was the point.

Biden’s role was designed as a waxen figurine for hard-left agendas that, without the “old Joe Biden from Scranton” pseudo-moderate veneer, could never have been advanced.

His handlers operated a nightmare administration: the destruction of deterrence abroad, two theater wars, 12 million illegal aliens, a weaponized justice system, hyperinflation, and $7 trillion more in debt.

By 2017, the public knew three truths about the so-called Christopher Steele dossier.

One, it was completely fallacious — fabricated by a has-been, ex-British spy Christopher Steele. He childishly had cobbled together lurid sex stories, James Bond spy fictions, and Russian-fed disinformation to destroy the Trump candidacy and later presidency.

Two, it was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. She hid her checks behind the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and Fusion GSP paywalls.

Three, the FBI under James Comey hired Steele as an informant. It helped disseminate his concocted files and was also instrumental in trying to subvert the Trump campaign and later administration.

No sane person ever believed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was the work of “Russian disinformation.” Its contents a year before the 2020 election were verified by the FBI, but it kept mum about its confirmation.

Cori Bush’s Husband Indicted for Wire Fraud, Allegedly Submitted False Applications To Obtain COVID Relief Funds

Former left-wing congresswoman Cori Bush’s husband was charged on Thursday with defrauding the federal government to illegally collect tens of thousands of dollars in loans under COVID-era small business relief programs.

Cortney Merritts, who secretly married Bush in 2023, falsified details about his purported businesses in order to obtain more than $20,000 in loans from the Small Business Administration in 2020 and 2021 under the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, the Department of Justice said in a statement.

Bush represented St. Louis before suffering a primary loss last year that she blamed on the Jews. She was a member of the far-left “Squad” that includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.). She refused to call Hamas a terrorist group and was one of two House members to vote against a resolution to ban Hamas terrorists from entering the United States.

The indictment comes roughly one year after the DOJ launched an investigation into Bush over a separate ordeal: Bush’s campaign payments to Merritts.

Bush used her congressional campaign budget to pay for more than $812,000 on questionable private security services. She paid more than $150,000 to her husband.

Democrats in Congress Drive Luxury Cars on Taxpayer Dime

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) declared in February that the government is “not in the business of giving out money” to taxpayers. But when it comes to the simple luxuries in her own life, the firebrand lawmaker is happy to let the public foot the bill.

That includes her taxpayer-funded car. Crockett has billed the public $999.96 every month since she assumed office in January 2023 to pay for a “vehicle lease,” according to House disbursement records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. It’s unclear the make and model of Crockett’s publicly financed whip—lawmakers are not required to disclose that information and her office did not return a request for comment—but it’s enough to pay for a Tesla Model S, Elon Musk’s luxury sports sedan, which leases for $998 per month.

Crockett obtained her taxpayer-funded vehicle through a little-known fringe benefit that allows representatives to bill the public for a fresh set of EPA-approved wheels to traverse their congressional districts. Some 42 lawmakers participated in the program in 2024, including 15 Republican participants who represent geographically expansive districts that average 18,100 square miles each. The Republican participants primarily leased economy vehicles from American manufacturers, with several of their offices telling the Free Beacon that leasing a vehicle is a far more cost-effective way for the lawmakers to traverse their massive districts as opposed to paying for airfare or using their personal vehicle at the IRS reimbursement rate of 67 cents per mile.

But the same can’t be said for many of the 27 Democratic participants in the program, several of whom used taxpayer funds to lease vehicles from luxury brands including Tesla, Lexus, and Volvo. And 15 of those Democrats, including Crockett, represent dense urban districts that are smaller than 500 square miles.

Crockett’s district in Dallas, Texas, for example, is only 335 square miles in total. The firebrand Democrat could have used public transportation or her personal vehicle to traverse her district in 2024, but she instead billed taxpayers $11,996 for “vehicle lease” payments to Credit Union Services. Crockett didn’t have to worry about paying for her Washington, D.C., living expenses either, thanks to another little-known fringe benefit available to members of the House. Crockett billed taxpayers $20,301 in 2024 to cover her “lodging” expenses, and an additional $2,670 to pay for her meals when Congress was in session, House disbursement records show.

Crockett’s reliance on the taxpayer to finance her everyday living expenses could come back to bite her as Democrats maneuver to make her a leading figure in the party. In February, Crockett scoffed at Musk’s proposal to redistribute a portion of DOGE savings to American taxpayers, saying: “We are not in the business of giving out money, and honestly, I don’t know what $5,000 will do for you.”

Details about the make and model of the vehicles leased by members of the House in 2024 are hazy at best, and the offices of most participating members did not respond to Free Beacon requests for comment. Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of the ethics watchdog Americans for Public Trust, said it was “disturbing” that members of Congress chose not to disclose details of their publicly financed leases.

“Riding around in a taxpayer-funded Lexus and not being forthcoming with constituents raises ethical questions and is unacceptable, particularly in our current era of rising accountability over government spending,” Sutherland told the Free Beacon. “Taxpayers have the right to know what type of vehicle they’re subsidizing to ensure this program is not being abused.”

Chuck Schumer says he wakes up at 3am thinking about Elon Musk

Chuck Schumer Admits He Wakes Up at 3 AM Worried About Elon Musk and ‘Oligarchs’

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has sparked a wave of reactions after admitting that he sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night worried about the future of the country, specifically mentioning “oligarchs” and suggesting that Elon Musk is one of his main concerns.

During a conversation addressing his anxieties over the influence of certain powerful figures in the US, Schumer stated:

«So, a lot of people responded to the anguish. I appreciate it. I’m sure I wake up at 3 am sometimes, so worried about the future of the country under these oligarchs or…”

When asked to clarify who he was referring to, he hesitated for a moment before confirming: «Yeah, oligarchs, I guess. Yeah.”

His comments have been widely interpreted as a direct attack on Musk, who has been a constant target of Democratic criticism due to his growing influence in technology, social media, and space exploration. Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter) and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been a strong advocate for free speech and a vocal critic of progressive policies, making him a polarizing figure in American politics.

Schumer’s remarks have been met with ridicule on social media, where users and conservative leaders have pointed out the left’s obsession with Musk and their resistance to figures who challenge their narrative. Some have even suggested that this concern reflects Democrats’ fear of Musk’s impact on American culture and politics.

Leftists are dragging us through the worst parts of their ‘Groundhog Day’

One of the best movies ever made is 1993’s Groundhog Day because it’s the perfect “getting it right” movie. Bill Murray’s character, Phil, begins as a totally obnoxious egomaniac. However, after being forced to relive the same day hundreds or even thousands of times, he figures out what’s wrong with him and gets it right. It’s a fantastic premise, beautifully done. The Democrats are in a Groundhog Day loop and getting it very, very wrong.

What’s stuck in my mind is Phil’s initial response to his time loop before he realizes that he has the chance to get a life do-over and become a better man. When he realizes he cannot die or cause lasting harm, he becomes wildly reckless.

Democrat Extremist Proclaims Law Signed By Founding Father Is “un-American”

Democrats are big mad that President Trump used the law to expel terrorist criminal gang members from the country. 

BIG MAD.

Particularly angry about seeing illegal alien gang thugs deported is Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar who has proclaimed that the Alien Enemies Act, which was codified in 50 USC Chapter 3 by a duly elected Congress and signed into law by President John Adams is ‘un-American.’

John Adams, who helped found America.

Yeah, no.

Here’s the Dirty Little Secret Behind the Democrats’ Collapse

Another day, another story about the Democrats suffering a total loss of confidence with the American people. My black, shriveled heart is pumping pure schadenfreude these days, particularly right now as it occurs to me the core problem vexing today’s Donks. 

They got what they wanted.

Democrats weaponized the federal bureaucracy against the president who was elected to run it, handicapping the implementation of his policies and eventually helping to drive him from office. The Bad Orange Man was out of office, presumably forever, once the weaponized judiciary was done with him. 

They installed a puppet in the Oval Office, one who would sign pretty much anything they put in front of him… even if they had to have him do it by autopen. 

They jacked up peacetime federal spending to wartime levels while opening up the southern border to everyone from legitimate refugees (I’ll stipulate there were at least a few in the mix) to sex traffickers to cartels to actual terrorists. 

They got their Green New Deal via the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, funneling a trillion dollars to Democrat-affiliate “winners” whose products would be mandated on buyers while handicapping the losers with crushing regulations.

They took Iran off the Naughty List, helped turn Europe’s worst war in 80 years into an overlong grift-fest, and showed enough daylight between Washington and Jerusalem to make the Oct. 7 terror invasion nearly inevitable. 

They got men’s sexually aberrant behavior — a predatory form of autogynephilia (and not to be confused with genuine gender dysphoria) — elevated to “the civil rights issue of our time,” as Joe Biden put it on several occasions. 

All the while, Democrats’ most important constituencies in education, entertainment, and the media enjoyed a flood of unaccountable dollars from the American taxpayers. All they had to do was breathlessly repeat — and in the case of inconvenient truths like the Hunter Biden laptop or COVID’s leaky lab origin — enforce the party line.

They even got the GOP House to play along for the second half of Biden’s term by locking in Democrat spending priorities with a series of continuing resolutions.

I could go on. And on. But you get the point.

Egg Price Collapse Scrambles Democrats’ Inflation Propaganda Against Trump

Democrats just had their egg-related misinformation and disinformation campaign against the president scrambled, as new USDA data reveals a third consecutive week of price declines at supermarkets. The drop follows President Trump’s recent countermeasures to stabilize national supply after the Biden-Harris administration’s reckless culling of 150 million egg-laying hens plunged the industry into turmoil and sparked egg-flation.

Even leftist ABC News had to acknowledge falling USDA egg prices. 

This followed weeks of Democrats and leftist corporate media attempting to pin the egg crisis on Trump. 

USDA egg prices hit a historic high of $8.17 per dozen on March 3, roughly two weeks ago. Since then, prices have more than halved.

State Democrats Want Most Anyone to Vote in Washington – Even If They’ve Never Lived There

WA State Democrats (aka “The Anyone From Anywhere Can Vote Party”) sponsored bill SSB 5017: AN ACT Relating to adopting national standards for uniformed and overseas civilian voting, including conforming amendments to existing statute – Creates very troubling new state rules pertaining to the Uniform Military and Overseas Voter Act (UMOVA) and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).

As currently written, the bill would allow people born outside the U.S. who have NEVER EVEN SET FOOT OR LIVED in WA State (aka “Permanent Overseas Voters”) to vote in local elections – e.g., County Council, Commissioners, City Council, Mayors, School Boards, levies, being able to raise taxes on the locals, etc.

Yes, according to the bill, as long as these “voters”:

• Are over 18 and a United States citizen

• Have a “family member” who is (or was) eligible to vote in Washington and

• Have not registered to vote in another state

They are allowed to vote in our LOCAL ELECTIONS. What could go wrong?

This is a ridiculous and terrible policy, as this new class of “voters” could easily have no vested interest in the state or community they are now allowed to vote in.

Additionally, with no real, valid way to prove the actual I.D. of the voter, another easy avenue for voter fraud is opened up with SSB 5017.
