Congress Acts Swiftly to Pass $1Trillion in Corona Relief

In an increasingly rare showing of bipartisanship, Congress has moved very quickly to send two coronavirus-related spending bills to President Trump’s desk in two weeks and is feverishly working to put together a third, blockbuster package that could be worth upward of $1 trillion. Trump’s signing of the second coronavirus bill, which will provide $100 billion worth of paid sick leave, unemployment help and free virus testing to Americans, comes as the coronavirus pandemic is hitting close to home on Capitol Hill. On Wednesday, Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., and Ben…

White House Proposes Massive Coronavirus Stimulus

Call it a kind of coronavirus vaccine for the economy! The Trump administration is considering a third coronavirus spending package worth hundreds of billions of dollars even as the Senate works to move along the more modest second relief bill that focuses on leave for workers and expedited testing for the disease officially known as COVID-19. The White House is specifically pushing for an $850 billion stimulus, largely in the form of tax relief measures. Roughly $500 billion of this would be tied to a payroll tax cut, while $250…

Bernie Sanders had better listen for the fat lady singing, because it’s all but over for the independent senator from Vermont. Joe Biden totally crushed Bernie Sanders in Florida, adding to a series of decisive wins that leaves the self-described democratic socialist with no realistic path to securing the Democratic presidential nomination. Several outlets called the state for the former vice president as soon as final polls closed.

All that is not looking very good today. Responding…

Biden confronts auto worker about the Second Amendment – and insults him

Jimmy Carter is right … Biden is too old

Not long ago, former President Jimmy Carter said that 80 years old is too old to carry out the duties of President of the United States.  He should know since he was the President – and knows the duties – and he is now 94 years old – so he knows what really old age is like.  He is right. Pondering Carter’s opinion – and realizing that I am just a couple of putts away from 80, myself – I have abandoned all ambitions and plans to run for President…

The plan comes as an…
