https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/27/white-house-supply-chain-bidenomics-wins.html The Biden administration is claiming that inflation is down (somewhat true, depending on the timeframe) and that therefore costs have come down (not true). They then leap from that claim to the assumption that if corporations don’t lower prices on consumer goods they must be ‘price gouging’ or otherwise profiting off of the poor hapless American consumer. To their credit, CNBC actually did a soft fact check of the primary Biden admin claim. A glimmer of journalism is better than nothing I suppose. Like the video if you agree…comment if you don’t.

https://www.vox.com/23828477/trump-2024-14th-amendment-banned To make the argument that the 14th amendment disqualifies Trump is to equate the Jan 6 demonstrators with the Civil War Confederacy.

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/08/house-gop-mayorkas-impeachment-00110154 Republicans can’t even impeach the Biden stooge at the head of DHS. What hope do we have to dismantle the permanent bureaucratic state if our representatives can’t even take meaningful action on a simple matter such as this? My thought is that our representatives don’t want to actually solve these problems, just gain clout by “appearing” to take action. It’s an ugly and bleak perspective but I don’t see a credible alternative. Like the video if you agree…comment if you don’t. Follow TRI on other platforms for livestreams and conversation.

The left and right are using the “behind closed doors” testimony of a longtime business associate to Hunter Biden to further their own agenda. Far easier to spin the messaging when the public can’t see the original testimony for themselves. Slow news day, long primary. Like the video if you agree…comment if you don’t.

https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/07/31/house-of-representatives-debate-trans-healthcare/ The leftist media is famous for selecting glib phrases for positions they support and negatively charged labels for their opposition. This article is no exception. At some point the fancy rhetorical tricks will fail to cover the divisive issue at the heart of this article. What role does the government play in enforcing or banning the sterilization and genital mutilation of children? If we as a society come down on the wrong side of this issue it will prove cataclysmic. Like the video if you agree…comment if you don’t.

https://www.salon.com/2023/07/17/billionaires-arent-doing-great--for-their-mental-health-time-to-drastically-raise-their/ It continues to amaze me the way that leftists view the private control of capital. For some reason they seem fixated on the idea that private actors won’t choose to do moral things with the money, and therefore the government must come in and mandate the fate of the money. As if politicians, bureaucrats and regulators are special angels with moral clarity granted to them from some mysterious higher power. Reality repeatedly proves this thesis wrong, yet deeply committed leftists are unfazed by their failures, believing that the principles must be true, and they’ll get it right next time…after all, true socialism has never been tried.
