Cocainegate Just Got Even Strange

Spencer Brown / Townhall Tipsheet 

While President Biden's spokespeople refuse to say whether the administration will be transparent with the American people about the results of the Secret Service investigation of the cocaine found in the West Wing on Sunday, those "involved" with the situation changed their story on Thursday.

According to NBC News, "multiple officials involved in the White House cocaine inquiry now say the bag of powder was found in a cubby near the White House's West Executive entrance, not the formal West Wing lobby as was previously reported."

So, what was stated before was either incorrect or a lie? That should help the Biden administration brush off the appearance of being engaged in some sort of cover-up...

The location officials described most recently to NBC News is "an entrance area between the foyer and a lower-level lobby...near where some vehicles, like the vice president’s limo or SUV park." Read more, see tweets and vdeo here.

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.
