Democrats slip in sneaky little rider into
stimulus bill to forbid states from cutting taxes

The Democrats' $1.9 trillion stimulus bill is a monster of public spending with the prime aim of rewarding political cronies. Free-spending blue cities and states get bailouts, along with unions with mismanaged gold-plated pensions for their members. The losers, of course, are the savers and taxpayers. That's because it won't be long before Argentina-style inflation and Europe-style taxes kick in to pay for these benefits to leftists. The only hope is to grow the economy so that the debt can be paid, which is something Americans often know how to do. But unlike other bills, this one contains a poison pill, to ensure that red states and cities inclined to cut taxes

Only red states get conditionality. Blue states are in for party time.

If the Feds can tell the States how to manage their taxes then the states should be able to refuse to send tax money to the feds. Skip the CO ID bill. Just keep the Fed taxes and go your own way. And if that means secede, then do it. We have a fake federal government passing illegitimate laws, and sacrificing the nation for globalism by fiat. Sounds like it's past time for the Second Amendment to kick in.

No worries in Colorado. The cobalt blue government isn't going to be cutting any taxes soon given the current deficit spending to support the People's Republic of Denver.

Unreal. Can't reduce taxes.....is that even Constitutional? I guess "Constitutional" is an obsolete concept, and the Constitution a dead document.

This is not going to affect red states that much. Many do not have state income taxes, and they are never going to cut the property tax, or the sales tax. If a state wants to get around this provision, they can always cut fees.

The Democrats intend to eliminate independent businesses, and contracting. A socialist state controls all rights to work. A socialist state eliminates the individual, and replaces that with social responsibility. In other words, you are born to serve others, a member of the collective. No individual property rights, no individual liberty. This loss of freedom does not affect the Democrat constituency which consists of criminals, people that don't work, illegals, and foreigners.

The ostensible reason is so that states don't fill their dwindling coffers with Federal "tax" money and hand state tax revenues back to residents. No, that would never happen. Whine all day about this and that in this stimulus bill. See, the others were okay. Enjoyed bi-partisan support. Signed into law by PDT. Those were GOOD stimulus bills. This is a bad one. The Democrats have lots of port and lard in it. They're bailing blue states... That's called politics. Republicans/conservatives passed out as much as $10 TRILLION in appropriated and other funds rather than open the country to business. It jumped into the COVIDS porn hysteria no less than the Dems. Who did Fauci and Birx front for? Who made them "experts"? We are all socialists now...

Didn't Trump get slapped down by the courts for trying to withhold federal dollars from states and cities because of their sanctuary policies? And why is it always reported as "democrats" or "the Senate" that gin up these little kicks to the groin? Which democrat? Who in the Senate? I want to know.

Chances are a bunch of States will sue and the Supreme Court will find that partisan Democrat demand unconstitutional. If not a partisan Congress could tell the States everything they must do and the federalism system will be no more.

Most people are canny enough to know that when someone advertises himself or herself as a certain kind of thing, the opposite is likely to be the case. Think: "Honest John's Used Cars." "Mom's Cooking." "We're from the government and we're here to help." "I'm a lady." Which brings us to Meghan Markle, the Hollywood B-list actress who finagled a role for a couple of years as the Duchess of Sussex. After telling us how selfless she was for ditching the royal family in order to go make money (off of them, no less), including a coming March 8 tell-all interview to Oprah Winfrey, here's the biteback from Buckingham Palace:

Dissidents have been warning us for years about the nature of China's communist totalitarian regime. But unlike a lot of them, the dictatorship also has money and markets. In the West, that means quisling defenders, many with a snoot in the trough. So here comes a pitched curve ball for China's clapping seals, according to the South China Morning Post: A Chinese court has upheld a ruling that a textbook description of homosexuality as "a psychological disorder" was not a factual error but merely an "academic view". The Chinese LGBT community, and the 24-year-old woman who filed the lawsuit, have expressed disappointment at the decision,

AUSTIN, Texas - Republican Texas State Representative Bryan Slaton has filed a bill in the Texas House of Representatives asking that a portion of I-35 in Austin be renamed the Steve Adler Public Restroom Highway. The portion Slaton is asking to be renamed is the area between 4th Street and 11th Street where those experiencing homelessness reside. Slaton, who represents House District 2, says in a news release that "since the legislature has made it clear it intends to rename some highways and bridges this session, I think it's imperative that we start with a highway that truly recognizes the contributions of (Austin) Mayor Adler."

Given all the predictions that President Donald Trump would lead the ruination of the U.S., and despite the 24/7 attacks hurled at him from all quarters, Trump got stronger marks than Barack Obama on all but two of seven key metrics that IBD/TIPP has been following for 20 years. Raghavan Mayur, the president of TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence, which runs the IBD/TIPP poll, explains it all on his new site: TippInsights.com. Although often ignored by the mainstream press, the Investor’s Business Daily-sponsored IBD/TIPP poll has proven to be the most accurate in the past five presidential elections. And since 2001,

Vice President Kamala Harris has signed a deal to sell her loft-style San Francisco condo for $799,000, about 63% more than what she paid for it, according to the Wall Street Journal. Harris bought the two-level condo for $489,000 in 2004, when she became California’s first female district attorney in San Francisco’s history and the first Black woman and South Asian American woman in the state to hold the office.

Though widely anticipated, the death of Rush Limbaugh after a long battle with cancer is a major blow to conservatives. His witty, often acerbic commentary had been a daily anchor to reality for many Americans, tired of the mainstream media’s lies, bias and prevarications. But with his death, Limbaugh leaves a hole in the conservative movement that is impossible to fill. The center-right media firmament has many bright stars. Unfortunately, none shine as brightly as Rush did. As the numerous accounts of his death and life point out, he was the most listened to radio show host in history. He

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office released its economic forecast for the next decade. It got little press attention, probably because it completely undermines the arguments for another massive COVID-19 stimulus bill. President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress continue to portray the economy as deep in a recession. In Wisconsin on Wednesday, for example, Biden said that “Now is the time we should be spending. Now is the time to go big.” But according to the CBO’s economic forecast, real GDP this year will climb by 4.6%. Assuming that holds true, it would be the biggest annual increase in gross

To the extent that Joe Biden drew votes, a very big reason was the expectation from parents and students that he would re-open the public schools, currently on extended shutdown over COVID concerns. That was his promise, that was a signature issue, with many pixels spilled in multiple spots on Biden's campaign website supporting the claim that he was serious about re-opening schools. Now that he's in office, too bad for those who actually believed him. Instead of re-opening the schools, Biden's re-drawn himself a goal line for school re-opening so pathetic, so wretched, so insignificant it's actually lower than what's already going on now in school reopenings.

“Time is a luxury our country does not have.” That was Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer explaining why Democrats are in such a mad rush to pass a massive $1.9 trillion COVID “relief” bill. What Schumer, President Joe Biden and other Democrats, and the mainstream media fail to mention is that the government still hasn’t spent $1.3 trillion of the previous COVID relief funds. If the public knew that, would a majority be in favor of anything like the new Biden plan? For those with short memories, there have been five COVID relief bills in less than a year, with

Sure, Biden reportedly admonished his brother to 'watch yourself,' but that didn't stop brother Frank getting busy advertising his ties to Joe in an ad for a Florida law firm on the day Joe was sworn in. Son Hunter reportedly never divested himself of his China holdings as had been leaked earlier.

Now that the implications of the Harris/Biden administration are setting in, my Democrat friends (yes, I do have a few) are becoming very embarrassed. They bought into the propaganda that all the turmoil in Washington was created by the erratic and immoral behavior of Donald Trump. Their vote for Harris/Biden was a vote to return to normal. They didn’t realize that the Democrats weren’t offering a return to normal, they were offering the establishment of a “new normal.” (snip) My friends are belatedly realizing that the turmoil was not created by Donald Trump. It was manufactured by the Democrats, simply to win an election.

He also insisted that, vaccines or not, the government’s in control and can lock all of us up all over again. (snip) Biden kept saying that he was going to tell the truth.

Eli Lilly & Co says its combination antibody therapy is effective at treating mild to moderate cases of COVID-19. The treatment, a mixture of drugs bamlanivimab and etesevimab, was developed by Indianapolis-based Lilly and the Canadian company AbCellera. It recognizes the virus once a person is infected and attaches to it, preventing the pathogen from entering human cells, and therefore neutralizing it. In trial data released on Wednesday, Eli Lilly said the combination reduced the risk of hospitalization and death by 87 percent compared to a placebo. The results are an improvement of an earlier study of the combination, which reduced the risk of hospitalization and death by 70 percent.
