Biden regulations have cost Americans almost $10,000 per household: study

Biden admin regulatory costs surpassing those under Obama, research shows

Aaron Kliegman | Fox News

 

The Biden administration's burdensome regulations have cost Americans about $10,000 per household, according to a new report, which noted that figure could skyrocket if President Joe Biden is reelected in 2024 and serves another four years.

Casey Mulligan, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago, compares the regulatory records of President Biden and former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama in a new study published by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity.

As of the end of last year, according to the study, the Biden administration imposed new regulatory costs on American households and businesses at a pace that is surpassing that of the Obama administration during a comparable time period. Specifically, Mulligan writes that the Biden administration has so far been adding regulatory costs at a rate of $617 billion per year of rulemaking, not counting regulatory costs created by statutes and other non-rule regulatory actions.

DeSantis Refuses to Lose

Kurt Schlichter / Townhall Opinion

 

Bowing to popular demand to expand upon my recent analysis of the DeSantis strategy, I note that all the smart insiders, like @MAGAKing69 and @TrumpMemeLord4976, have come to a conclusion – it's time for Governor Ron DeSantis to pull out of the race. It's all over, seven months before the actual voting, because the polls they like reinforce their (and the Bulwark sissies', and the Democrats') hope that Heavy D just can't touch the Trump. Maybe. It's possible that Donald Trump has this race won right now, and the governor is just too dense to see that there's no way things can possibly change in a race against a volatile guy with multiple indictments (frame jobs, BTW) here and coming over the next half a year. But Ron DeSantis is a Roman – Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, to be precise – and he's fighting his fight, not the fight the braying bots demand he fight.

That's where his Fabian Strategy comes in – and full credit to my pal, the great Michael Walsh, for identifying Proconsul Ronulus as harkening back to the old SPQR paradigm. Who was Fabius? He was the guy who refused to lose.

Supreme Court rejects novel legislative theory but leaves a door open for 2024 election challenges

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI and DAVID A. LIEB / AP / Politics

The U.S. Supreme Court shot down a controversial legal theory that could have changed the way elections are run across the country but left the door open to more limited challenges that could increase its role in deciding voting disputes during the 2024 presidential election.

The court’s 6-3 ruling Tuesday drove a stake through the most extreme version of the so-called independent state legislature theory, which holds that legislatures have absolute power in setting the rules of federal elections and cannot be second-guessed by state courts. That decision cheered voting rights groups.

“We beat back the most serious legal threat our democracy has ever faced today,” said Kathay Feng of Common Cause, whose lawsuit challenging congressional districts drawn by North Carolina’s Republican-controlled legislature triggered the case.

But for some critics of the theory, the danger is not entirely past.

Supreme Court justices rule state lawmakers do not have exclusive control over elections in key decision

Brianna Herlihy , Haley Chi-Sing | Fox News

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that state judges do have the power to override state legislatures when it comes to how federal elections are carried out.

In a 6-3 opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the high court ruled that the Elections Clause of Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution "does not insulate state legislatures from the ordinary exercise of state judicial review."

Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson were in the majority. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, in which Justice Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito joined. 

"State courts retain the authority to apply state constitutional restraints when legislatures act under the power conferred upon them by the Elections Clause," Roberts wrote. 

"But federal courts must not abandon their own duty to exercise judicial review. In interpreting state law in this area, state courts may not so exceed the bounds of ordinary judicial review as to unconstitutionally intrude upon...Read more and see video here.

Joe Biden: ‘I Sold a Lot of State Secrets’

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

Did Joe Biden admit to selling state secrets? It’s all there in the official White House transcript. Biden hosted Indian Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi last week. During a meeting between Modi, Biden, and CEOs of tech companies, Biden had this to say to kick it off (via White House): 

… … …

“Okay.  We — I was just thanking the — anyway, I started off without you, and I sold a lot of state secrets and a lot of very important things that we shared.  (Laughter.) 

Now, all kidding aside — look, we’re teaming up to design and develop new technologies that are going to transform the lives of our people around the world.  And together, we’re lifting the private and public partners to make this possible, including launching a new program between India and America — American astronauts, Indian astronauts, and entrepreneurs, scientists, students.”

He was kidding, so we’re expected to treat this as an ‘Uncle..,Read more here, see tweets and videos here.

Op-ed:

The Anointing of Saint Jordan Neely

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com

“The three main threats that he repeated over and over was, 'I'm going to kill you,' 'I'm prepared to go to jail for life,' and 'I'm willing to die' [...] I was scared for myself, but I looked around, I saw women and children. He was yelling in their faces, saying these threats.”                  - Daniel Penny, former Marine charged in Jordan Neely's May 1st choke-hold death

He's been described by some as but a “gentle giant” as well as being a Michael Jackson impersonator, but the truth is that Jordan Neely was a drug addicted, serious mentally ill individual, and career criminal who had been arrested before...and let go...for harassing and threatening folks on the subway. Jordan Neely was also homeless living on the streets, and yet his family did not a thing to get him help nor take him into their home. Guess it was okay for them to fear him and keep their distance but not for others to do so, and yet who upon his death made out like he was an integral part of their lives. Simply, it appears he was not.

Jordan Neely had been seriously mentally ill for a long time, yet he still was freely wandering New York's streets. Lost in the shuffle of bureaucratic paperwork and liberal spewed rhetoric that damns the locking up of the insane, Michael Jackson impersonator Jordan Neely, in times past when justice was colorblind, would not have been on the streets for he would have been institutionalized for his being not only a danger to himself but to innocent others as well. But that was before “bought and paid for” liberal D.A.s...D.A.s like the infamous George Soros funded New York D.A. Alvin Bragg...were able to strong arm the courts into making heroes out of villains and the victims the ones being charged.

And this is exactly what happened to Daniel Penny, a former U.S. Marine who at first faced actual murder charges in regards to Jordan Neely's death, but by the time the actual indictment was handed down Perry faced the charge of “second degree manslaughter.” Why so...because the public outcry was overwhelmingly in Penny's favor and against the out of control, mentally ill, drugged out, psychotic individual...who it took three men plus Penny to subdue and bring to the ground...a gentle giant Neely surely was not...for he threatened verbally and physically Penny and the other folks riding the Manhattan F-train. “Justifiable homicide by self-defense” is what Penny rightfully called his actions taken, for in no way...and this is key...was this premeditated anything like race-baiters continue to claim for neither Penny nor Neely knew each other or had ever met before.

 

(To see the video below, click in 'Watch on YouTube'  to see Jordan Neely being subdued and eye witness testimony.)

 

A key fact regarding premeditation deliberately being ignored for the circumstances and witness statements should have put an end to said accusation. But, sadly, in today's world it seems that any black/white confrontation is, for some, hatefully driven by race...by skin color...alone. And here enters fist-pumping black activists and their media supporters to make sure that skin color not only enters but dominates the public discourse.

Facts, truths, and witness testimonies matter not to folks like New York County D.A. Alvin Bragg, for what seemed to be Bragg's defining moment when sending this case to the Grand Jury seemed to solely be based upon the color of Penny's skin, after all Bragg rarely indicts black folks for crimes committed. To folks like Bragg, Jordan Neely was yet another saint-like young black man killed by what he deemed to be yet another racist white man, and this is no matter the fact that there was upon investigation no indication that Penny was a racist nor that he was in any way tied to white supremacy groups. But in today's world black on white crime is being overlooked, while white on black crime...with crime not really being an applicable word in this case...is not. In fact, some believe the indictment is but a form of reparations owed.

And it's thanks to D.A.s like Alvin Bragg who either ignore crimes committed by black offenders or simply allows them to walk free, coupled with the NYPD being forced into an unwanted position where they are at times perceived to be reverse racists in their own right...which we know they are not. And the winners in this case currently are both the media who is helping to push forward racist allegations as they are a ratings bonanza, plus those black supremacy groups like BLM...groups who thrive on both hate and publicity and see this case as being just another example of “whitey” killing what they deem to be an innocent young black man.

So seems to be the mindset of D.A. Bragg for even when multiple witnesses...both black and white...came forward to back-up Perry's words...even when cell phone videos showed proof positive of Penny's “justified” statement... Bragg wanted to charge Penny with murder no matter that what was really in play was a law-abiding citizen lawfully committing a true act of “self-defense.” But Bragg has a history of such actions...actions defending black “perps” while throwing the proverbial “book” at non-black victims. One case that immediately comes to my mind is when, not that long ago, a Hispanic bodega owner justifiably killed an armed black robber in the process of trying to rob his store and possibly even kill him. And like with Daniel Penny, Bragg’s office initially charged the victim with second-degree murder before the charges were finally dropped.

However, even with the witnesses coming forward, even with the tapes proving what Penny did was indeed justifiable, even with the court of public opinion for the most part on Penny's side, Alvin Bragg went to the Grand Jury in an effort to get an indictment...which he unfortunately did. Coercion on his part, perhaps...a tainted jury pool, perhaps...things we will never know, but what we do know is that 30-year old Jordan Neely was previously arrested 42 times and let go between 2013 and 2021, including for a similar subway offense, four times for assault, plus numerous times in relation to transit fraud and criminal trespass. In fact, at the time of his death, there was an active warrant out for Jordan Neely's arrest pertaining to an assault charge dating back to 2021 when he punched a 67-yesr old woman...a stranger...in the face as she was exiting a subway station

And while bleeding heart liberals were and still are quick to come to Neely's defense and blame all that he did on his currently being both homeless and mentally ill, the real one who should shoulder the blame is Alvin Bragg himself along with his soft-on-crime policies that let many career criminals back onto NYC streets without so much as a slap on the wrist. In fact, Bragg and crew have allowed 100 of NYC's worst repeat offenders...including a number having 100+ arrests...back onto the streets.

Simply, in NYC which now sees crime numbers starting to rise once again...Alvin Brigg's D.A. office truly has a revolving door policy where crimes committed by blacks are, for the most part, being overlooked while crimes committed by whites against blacks sees the proverbial “book” being thrown at them...case in point Daniel Penny. And this from the man who when first assuming office released a memo detailing how his new charging, bail, plea, and sentencing policies will make the criminal justice system more fair...more fair only for those who commit crimes not for those who are the victims of crimes no matter the level of crime committed nor the color of one's skin.

In fact, Bragg's own words sum it up best. “We will be tough when we need to be, but we will not be seeking to destroy lives through unnecessary incarceration,” were Bragg's very words concerning arrests that usually, in the past, led to taking a dangerous element off the street, but now allows them to remain in business, if you will, including dangerous sorts selling drugs and those resisting arrest.

And so the man who thinks “incarceration” is not the solution to NYC's crime problem; the man who thinks dangerously mentally ill individuals do not belong on Riker's Island and will instead defer prosecution to local community-based organization that deal with mental health issues (and where most of the mentally ill can easily slip through the bureaucratic cracks); the sad reality is why even bother to send police officers out on calls...calls where their own lives are put in danger...calls that the D.A.s office will not prosecute unless the “perp” is white and the victim is black...calls where most times the reality is just the opposite.

Such is the Daniel Penny case. Simply, Daniel Penny is a hero, there is no other way to say it for if he had not been on the subway that fateful day many could and probably would have died, including children... died at the hands of a mentally ill, career criminal, who...thanks to a D.A. like Alvin Bragg...was able to skirt the justice system. Daniel Penny should never have been indicted to begin with, but should have been awarded a medal for his helping to keep New York's streets and it's inhabitants safe, after all the NYPD's hands have been tied behind their backs by leftist mayors and D.A.s like Alvin Bragg for quite some time now. Basically, Daniel Penny did what law enforcement in New York City is either unable to do or specifically told not to do...as in stop certain crimes being committed...especially when on first glance it appears to be white on black crime when in reality most times it is anything but.

And so now as Jordan Neely is being hailed by bleeding heart liberals and black race-baiters as the media canonized successor to the late Saint George Floyd, we wait for Daniel Penny's July 17th trial to commence...a trail where he faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. But all I can say is this nonsense must stop for the color of ones skin can no longer be the decider of right from wrong nor guilt from innocence, for if this is allowed to continue on a true race war could well be in the making. Case closed.

Here's What Caused the Liberal Press Corps to Turn on Karine Jean Pierre Today

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet 

The Biden corruption story is becoming as messy as Hunter Biden’s stay at the Chateau Marmont, gaining traction outside conservative media. The Biden White House knew bad news was coming this week: Thursday saw the House Ways and Means reveal credible testimony from IRS whistleblowers that they were hamstrung in their investigations of Hunter Biden. Delaware US Attorney David Weiss wanted to charge Hunter in March 2022 but was blocked. 

It also doesn’t help that everyone can see through Hunter’s recent plea deal, where he’ll avoid jail on gun and tax evasion charges. That might put out some fires, but there’s an emerging wildfire emanating from the alleged bribery scheme Hunter and Joe played with Burisma Holdings co-founder Mykola Zlochevsky, who not only reportedly has a ledger and taped conversations with the men but is also a reported Russian intelligence asset.  Read more and see tweets and videos here.

Russian mercenary chief says his troops have reached Rostov-on-Don following call for armed rebellion

Landon Mion | Fox News

 

After calling for an armed rebellion to remove Russia's defense minister, Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced Saturday morning that he and his troops reached the city of Rostov-on-Don.

Prigozhin posted confirmation of his arrival in the city, which is home to the Russian military headquarters overseeing the war in Ukraine, in a social media video, according to The Associated Press.

In the video, he claimed that his forces had taken control of military facilities in Rostov-on-Don, including the air field. Other videos posted on social media showed military vehicles and tanks on the streets.

It was not immediately clear how he entered the city, which is under heightened security following Prigozhin's threat, or how many troops he brought with him.

Despite Wagner playing a crucial role in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Prigozhin has been feuding with the defense ministry, accusing Russian military officials of starving his troops of weapons and ammunition. Read more and see video here,

Supreme Court hands Biden admin major win on challenge to ICE enforcement policy

8-1 Supreme Court ruling says Republican states 'brought an extraordinarily unusual lawsuit'

Adam Shaw | Fox News 

 

The Supreme Court on Friday handed the Biden administration a major victory on a key immigration case – ruling that GOP-led states do not have standing to challenge a policy narrowing federal immigration enforcement.

The justices, in an 8-1 ruling in U.S. v Texas, found that Republican states did not have standing to challenge a narrowing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) priorities for arrests and deportations of illegal immigrants. 

"In sum, the States have brought an extraordinarily unusual lawsuit. They want a federal court to order the Executive Branch to alter its arrest policies so as to make more arrests. Federal courts have not traditionally entertained that kind of lawsuit; indeed, the States cite no precedent for a lawsuit like this," the opinion, written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, said.

Justice Samuel Alito was the sole dissenting justice. Read more and see video here.
