The “Infrastructure” plan. (talked about at length in episode 51.) Congress using the same “bait and switch” language in describing it. They're selling it as an infrastructure plan, but what you really get is about 7% infrastructure and the rest Green New Deal crony capitalism.
Congress
If our constitutional republic were a human being, it would be being rushed to the ICU right about now.
If they follow through on their plans to end the filibuster, pack the Senate by adding one to two new states, then pack the Supreme Court, and institute eco-fascism in the guise of the Green New Deal, America's status as a functioning constitutional republic will be at an end. Soon, the kind of people we fought wars to keep from taking power in America, will have the power.
What a Recovery Might Look Like, Pt 1
At the beginning of April 2020, the consensus is that the peak is still a few weeks away. We're staying home more, we're doing social distancing and we're practicing good hygiene. Our borders are virtually closed and a third of the states are under some sort of lock-down order.
End. The. Games.
Pass a focused relief package for the American people now.

O'Kecams, will not only require less change from some than previously envisioned, it will promote a new era of economic prosperity for those who are ready to embrace it.
LR guests on Political Storm podcast
Thursday, I was a guest on Political Storm's weekly Real Politics With Real People show. It was a great honor to be on the panel discussion hosted by Jon Saltzman.
Again, political violence from the Left.
They have called for his opposition, his impeachment, his imprisonment, and his death and the death of other Republicans, both implicitly and at times explicitly. The anti-Trump movement on the left has a particularly vicious streak. So called "comedian" Kathy Griffin recently released a photo of her holding up a bloody, fake severed head of the President.
Trump’s first 100 days evaluation: Good, with some improvement needed.
Trump has met expectations in some areas, and exceeded them in others, but he’s gone as far as his business skills alone will take him. He needs to learn how Washington works– not how it should work, but how it really works. He has considerable negotiation skills as we all knew, but now he’s going to have to apply them to a whole new realm of problems and situations that just never occur in the boardroom.
