Joe Biden is either bound and determined to win some Republican support for his infrastructure bill or he is laying a trap for Republicans to walk into.
The White House announced a compromise proposal by Biden on corporate taxes that will reveal whether or not the GOP wants a deal at all. The president proposed a 15 percent minimum corporate tax instead of jacking the rate up to 28 percent. He hasn’t given up the idea of raising the corporate rate higher, but for purposes of compromise, will accept the lower number.
The infrastructure plan has now shrunk to $1 trillion, down from $2.3 trillion
Bombshell Upon Bombshell

Some conservative commentators are hailing alleged “bombshells” in the just-released emails of Anthony Fauci. I have seen nothing–yet–in those emails that even remotely merits that characterization. But this does: a very long article in Vanity Fair by investigative reporter Katherine Eban, titled “The Lab-Leak Theory: Inside the Fight to Uncover COVID-19’s Origins.” This is how Eban promoted her article on Twitter: Eban’s findings are stunning. She documents what can only be called a conspiracy within the U.S. government to suppress information about the origins of the covid virus. I am still working my way through her article–it is very long–but she seems to have the goods.
Senator Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) cautioned against using budget-reconciliation rules to pass the Biden administration’s infrastructure plan, in comments to NBC reporter Garrett Haake on Thursday.
Manchin expressed optimism that there would be a bipartisan deal on infrastructure between President Biden and Shelley Moore Capito, the Republican senator from West Virginia. Many Democrats have pushed to pass the deal in the Senate via budget-reconciliation rules, allowing for a simple majority to support the bill in place of a filibuster-proof 60 votes.
WASHINGTON — American intelligence officials have found no evidence that aerial phenomena witnessed by Navy pilots in recent years are alien spacecraft, but they still cannot explain the unusual movements that have mystified scientists and the military, according to senior administration officials briefed on the findings of a highly anticipated government report.
The report determines that the vast majority of more than 120 incidents over the past two decades did not originate from any American military or other advanced U.S. government technology, the officials said. That determination would appear to eliminate the possibility that Navy pilots who reported seeing unexplained aircraft might have encountered programs the government meant to keep secret.
Vice President Mike Pence said he and President Trump may never “see eye to eye” regarding the riot at the Capitol on January 6, during an event in New Hampshire on Wednesday.
“As I said that night, January 6 was a dark day in the history of the United States of America,” Pence told attendees at the Lincoln-Reagan Dinner for the Hillsborough County Republican Committee.
“But thanks to the swift action of the Capitol Police and federal law enforcement, violence was quelled, the Capitol was secured, and that same day, we reconvened the Congress and did our duty under the Constitution and laws of the United States,” Pence continued.

It’s a win for the country that we got not one, but three vaccines approved and shipped out on a timeline that many experts laughed at initially. They were wrong.

Vice President Kamala Harris had one job: Be the woman of color Joe Biden needed at his side to win the presidency. That job was completed in November, and now, it's clear that Harris doesn't know what to do with herself. A New York Times story on Thursday attempted to make something out of Biden's recent announcement that he was appointing Harris to lead his administration's efforts to dismantle all the ways that states organize their elections. (This is often referred to by Democrats and the media as “expanding voter rights.”) "Wow. Sounds like a serious undertaking," you might say.
Joe Biden offered a major concession to Republicans in his infrastructure bill negotiations Wednesday in a u-turn where he offered a 15 per cent minimum corporate tax rate instead of hiking it from 21 to 28 per cent.Undoing Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, which brought the corporate rate from 35 per cent to 21, was a nonstarter for Republicans.Instead president said during his meeting with GOP Senator Shelley Moore Capito, a source told The Washington Post, that he would be willing to trade that for raising the minimum rate to 15 per cent.This alternative would take aim at profitable U.S. corporations that, through deductions and other write-offs,

He was 87. His death was confirmed by his former law partner, Superior Court Judge Kenneth J. Fishman.

State Department staffers were warned against investigating the origin of COVID-19 because it could “open a can of worms,” a former official revealed in a bombshell report Thursday.

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s just-released government emails confirm that, during the height of the pandemic when former President Donald Trump was still in office, he had indeed communicated “on a nightly basis” with anti-Trump CNN commentator Chris Cuomo.
This first became known last May when, while speaking with Fauci on CNN, Cuomo expressed his gratitude to the National Institutes of Health director for having looked out for him when he’d contracted the coronavirus earlier that spring.
In the category of not all crooks are stupid, one accused migrant smuggler figured out an ingenious way to cut in half the time it took him to get back to Mexico from the U.S. to prepare for his next load of people: He turned himself in to the Border Patrol. During the coronavirus pandemic, rather than hold and prosecute illegal immigrants, the government is either catching and releasing or quickly expelling them to Mexico by busing them to the border and ushering them through a border crossing. Javier Ernesto Ayala-Osuna, who authorities say is a foot guide for groups of illegal immigrants, realized that once

The subsidiary, which collects licence fees for use of copyrighted Microsoft software around the world, recorded an annual profit of $314.7bn in the year to the end of June 2020, according to accounts filed at the Irish Companies Registration Office. Its profits jumped from just under $10bn the previous year and compare with Ireland’s 2020 GDP

Inside the Fauci emails there is one that stands out for many reasons. On February 1st NIH scientists were telling Anthony Fauci the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has “unusual features” that “potentially look engineered”. Later in the email they highlight the genome of SARS-CoV-2 appears “inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory”.
Despite this analysis, only a few days later Anthony Fauci vehemently proclaimed the SARS-CoV-2 strain was a naturally occurring Bat virus, and anyone questioning the natural creation of the virus was ridiculed, marginalized and dismissed; some even lost their jobs.

It’s been over a year since the WHO declared the coronavirus a pandemic after originally downplaying the threat. It is no secret that both the disease and the response to combat it following this SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in late 2019 have turned our world upside-down. Mandates, lockdowns, and guidelines seem to change every time Dr. Fauci opens his mouth. All of these unprecedented rules were put into place, we were told, to slow down the spread of a disease that today is linked to the death of over half a million Americans and 3.7 million global citizens in the last year.
On a recent trip to Colorado, I fired up the Atlas Shrugged audiobook.

Like many immigrants who escaped communism, Rand knew firsthand the corrosive effect of politicizing the industries that supply and feed our economy.
