Just 60 Days
Believe it or not, the critical November elections are just 60 days away. As Yogi Berra said, “It gets late early,” and it’s getting late. As of now, anything could happen.
Conservatives, pro-life and pro-family voters could have working majorities in the House and the Senate. Or we could wake up two months from now and find that radical socialists like Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, James Talarico and Angie Nixon—who said Republicans “are literally trying to kill us”—are the new majority in the Senate.
If they win, we will be subjected to endless investigations and impeachments of Donald Trump. And they will try to pack the Supreme Court.
Rigging The Court
Democrats are hellbent on undoing one of the most important conservative victories in modern memory. They want to reverse the conservative majority on the Supreme Court that took us decades to achieve. They want to rig the court by adding at least four more far-left justices who can’t define what a woman is.
If changing the number of justices sounds extreme, that’s because it is. The last Democrat effort to pack the Supreme Court, nearly 90 years ago, hasn’t been tried again because it was overwhelmingly rejected by the American people. But just like their embrace of socialism, Democrats keep recycling their bad ideas.
The House of Representatives voted on a constitutional amendment yesterday to permanently fix the number of Supreme Court justices at nine. The commonsense amendment failed because only one Democrat supported it.
Democrats Abandon Israel
Speaker Mike Johnson is methodically showing the American people exactly what the Democrat Party stands for with these recent votes. There was another revealing vote this morning on a bill to cut off federal funding to universities that join the BDS movement against Israel. (BDS stands for boycott, divest and sanction.)
The overwhelming majority of House Democrats—84%—voted against the bill. They don’t care if our universities are engaging in the same kind of antisemitic academic, cultural and economic boycotts that the Nazis engaged in before they started killing Jews in concentration camps.
Pop Quiz
Who do you think emphatically said back in 2009, “I am not a socialist”? A) Rush Limbaugh, B) former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, C) former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum or D) Others.
If you picked A, B or C you’re wrong. The correct answer was D, and the person who said it was then-President Barack Obama.
A lot has changed in 17 years because only eight House Democrats were willing to say what Obama said in 2009. The overwhelming majority of House Democrats voted to embrace socialism.
So, the question is: Could Barack Obama win his own party’s nomination today?
Rebuilding America’s Manufacturing Base
There is a huge manufacturing revival taking place in America thanks to President Trump’s pro-growth economic policies. Of course, the media refuses to talk about this good news. It doesn’t fit the gloom and doom narrative they want Americans to believe about the economy.
Here’s what the media won’t tell you:
- New factory orders rose 0.9% in July, nearly double the “experts” predictions.
- Durable-goods orders are up 7.6%.
- Machinery orders are up 12.3%.
- Computer and electronics orders are up 14.3%.
- Primary metals orders are up 14.4%.
- Industrial machinery and communications equipment orders are up nearly 40%.
- Manufacturing job openings rose to 580,000 in July, up 35% from one year ago.
The Data Center Dilemma
Data centers have become a major national issue. Many local communities, for a variety of reasons, don’t want a data center built in their backyard. I understand the concerns. I wouldn’t want one in my backyard either.
The corporations building these data centers need to do a much better job of explaining how they will benefit our communities and our country and why consumer water and energy prices won’t skyrocket. In fact, your utility bills and property taxes may even go down.
Here’s something else you need to understand: Communist China is stoking much of the opposition to data centers. We just learned that thousands of social media accounts pushing some of the most alarmist rhetoric against data centers were controlled by Chinese bots.
We also know that virtually the entire far-left network of Marxist organizations, largely funded by Communist Chinese sympathizer Neville Singham, is leading much of the “grassroots” opposition to data centers.
So, the Chinese communist government is exploiting our freedoms to try to convince our citizens to exercise their constitutional rights to accomplish Beijing’s desires.
Two things can be right at the same time: There are legitimate concerns about data centers that must be addressed, and Communist China is doing everything it can to sabotage America’s leadership in the race for advanced technology.
It is understandable why some people wouldn’t want a data center in their backyard. But if we lose this tech race, we may soon find Communist China is in our backyard.
