Then Biden digs deeper, saying that aid to Saudi Arabia is under review because they didn’t want to delay until after midterms.
Well, two things can be true at once: that Christian Walker loves his father, but hates the effect that Herschel’s dalliances have had on his mother and family in general.
As for Warnock, let him who is without sin cast the first stone. He has plenty of his own personal baggage. (Covering up child sexual abuse at his camp / obstructing the investigation, the domestic violence allegations, the financial stuff re: his church, bringing in Brother Castro, using a fake dog in his campaign ads, etc.).
On policy, where are we? Did the infrastructure bill actually benefit Georgia? Will the Inflation Reduction Act actually reduce inflation? There have been so many deceptively misnamed bills this Congressional session, it is Orwellian, bordering on Kafkaesque. Remember the infant formula bill? What, exactly, did it do? Did it actually address the issue?
Mothers with autism, who are less likely than others to breastfeed, have been hit particularly hard by the baby formula shortage. https://t.co/zc55WOgzkc

Yet some of the left’s talking point spreaders continue to harp about votes against a bill that did nothing, that were designed to do nothing.

The latest iteration of the Safe Streets Act? Did it reduce crime?

What are they hiding?
If it’s about policy, I would rather have gridlock than continually shoving garbage legislation through unified party control of the federal government.
I agree that the tax systems need to be updated / upgraded. The potential revenue clawbacks, however, aren’t nearly as much as would justify the Inflation Reduction Act. Just like taxing unrealized gains (how would that have gone over the last few months), a 100% tax on billionaires, or other out there taxation measures wouldn’t fund the federal government for more than a few days. We’re not Italy, Greece, or Spain, who have massive underground economies and therefore small tax bases that could be expanded with better systems.
As for the internet observatories, the left has really gone all-in on the disinformation industry (after defending the right to free speech for a long time). It’s chilling. The “COVID misinformation” bill passed in California (championed by Dr. Richard Pan, who went after Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on Twitter… which will become Exhibit 1 of the lawsuit), and is likely unconstitutional. We’re living in dangerous times, when confirmation bias is weaponized to censor.
Don’t forget that UW’s center is run by our very own Kate Starbird. Her early work was excellent. Her more recent work (or more accurately her center’s more recent work) is so hopelessly infected with political bias that it is worthless.

Not sure if Silicon Valley’s days are over. San Francisco’s days may be numbered.

Doesn’t matter. Damage was done.
Looks like Robert Telles’ political fortunes were going up until his defeat in the primary (by about 2k votes). As far as I know, he didn’t practice criminal law.
I have met both the victim and the perpetrator in person (several times each). Jeff German really tried to be accurate and get things right. Good sense of humor (off the record).
Rob Telles was a law student and attended some bar events while a student and once he graduated. Always had a big smile. Did seem like the politician / networking type.
My guess is that having his political ambitions dashed broke him. Weird thing is he may have impersonated a burglar who broke into the Summerlin Lindo Michacoan restaurant a few weeks ago. Not sure how he expected to get away with it.

It wasn’t climate change? Does sewage treatment fall under the water infrastructure bond that California voters passed, but the billions of dollars haven’t gone into a single storage mechanism or other water project?

We’ll see what the parameters are tomorrow, but it isn’t looking good.

If it is a payroll tax on everyone, it really will be plumbers paying for lawyers.
Oh, and the Rasmussen tracking poll had only a 47 favorable 52 unfavorable split today. Way up from the 15-17 percent gaps during the spring.

Like I said, there’s a shift in the vibe. May or may not affect midterms. If the so-called Inflation Reduction Act ends up keeping inflation high / forcing the Fed to keep raising rates as I suspect it might (the CBO agrees with me), then this may go down as a self-own.

Also, no one has been held accountable for the kids killed in the mistaken drone strike on the aid worker and his family.
