I often wonder how a corrupt dullard like Joe Biden managed to become leader of the free world. The more powerful the Democrat party gets, the worse their leaders seem to become. Consider areas completely controlled by Democrats, like, for example, Atlanta. Antonio Brown recently became the youngest person ever elected to Atlanta’s city council. Also the first openly gay man. He ran on a platform of defunding the police and other trendy leftist policies. He is the man on the left in the picture, which was taken at a protest march calling for justice for black transgender people he organized last June. A city councilman organizing street protests. Against the government that he represents. Ok.

Soon after the protest march, Mr. Brown was indicted on fraud charges. Among the charges are allegations that he falsely claimed to the victim of identity theft, provided false financial information on loan applications to buy a Mercedes and a Land Rover, and committed credit card fraud. Among other things. Being under indictment for fraud would presumably limit one’s options in the job market. So Mr. Brown went into a field in which such things are actually resume-builders. Soon after his indictment, he announced that he was running for Mayor of Atlanta. Mr. Brown announced that he is innocent of the fraud charges, and would not allow the allegations to disrupt his work for the city and his constituents. Because that’s just the type of selfless, community-minded guy he is.

President Biden wanted to spend $2.25 trillion we don’t have on projects we don’t need. Republicans countered by saying they weren’t willing to spend more than $568 billion we don’t have on projects we don’t need. President Biden, desiring to show he was willing to compromise, offered to spend $1.7 trillion we don’t have on projects we don’t need.

Now the latest is that Republicans have agreed to spend “close to $1 trillion” we don’t have on projects we don’t need. Whereas Biden hinted that he would agree to raising taxes on corporations and people who earn more than $400,000 a year to pay for part of his plan, a key provision of the Republican proposal is that taxes won’t be raised on anyone to pay for it, thus absolutely ensuring we won’t have the money to pay for their infrastructure projects we don’t need.

Steven Hayward at Power Line.

Let’s start with this NPR (NPR!!) report on the $1 billion Los Angeles is spending on homelessness, with no apparent effect on actually reducing homelessness:

The high public cost of LA’s first sanctioned campground — more than $2,600 per tent, per month — has advocates worried it will come at the expense of more permanent housing. [Emphasis added.]

What a minute—what? $2,600 per month, per tent?!?! 

As the kids say, AYFKM!? Only government could spend more for tents than you’d have to pay for a rental apartment even in high-priced Los Angeles. You can shoplift ten tents from a store (without risk of prosecution in California right now) for that amount.

John Hinderaker at Power Line.

Joe Biden is a classic corrupt politician. He has used his decades in public office to enrich himself and his family in a manner that we usually associate with graft-seeking politicians of the 19th Century. The Burisma story, from which the Democratic Party press studiously averted its eyes, is a perfect example.

Joe’s son Hunter was given a place on Burisma’s board of directors and paid a salary of $1 million per year, making him by far the highest-paid person associated with Burisma. No Burisma employee, and no one else on Burisma’s board, made anywhere near that much money. This despite the fact that Hunter did not speak Ukrainian, knew nothing about the natural gas industry, and was a drug-addled, barely employable neer-do-well. The money obviously was intended as a bribe for the benefit of then-Vice President Joe Biden, who was in charge of Ukraine policy for the Obama administration. No one is dumb enough to write a check to a politician so as to document a bribe. Rather, the check is written to a bag man. That was the role that Hunter played here.

All of this is a well-known story, to those who pay attention if not to readers who rely on the New York Times. Now an additional fact has come to light: Burisma cut Hunter’s income in half when Joe’s term as Vice President ended.

Within President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan is $174 billion that would both extend the electric vehicle tax credit as well as replace government cars with electric ones. To put this level of waste into perspective: $174 billion is more than practically every state budget.

The proposal would federalize the failed climate mandates in California. It’s not hard to see what’s being forced on states (like my homestate, Kansas) next from the state that has become a socialist laboratory for bad policy experiments. California’s governor even recently signed an order that will phase out gas-powered cars by 2035. This is not based on reality.

A reminder: Businesses don’t pay taxes — businesses merely collect taxes from their customers for the government. Like any cost, the cost of taxes is incorporated into the price of goods sold; corporations really don’t care one way or another, since it doesn’t come off of their bottom line.

‘Taxing business’ is merely another shuck-and-jive on the part of politicians to disguise the fact that they are actually increasing taxes on ordinary citizens. Such taxes are regressive, hitting low-income people more than high-income people (who are less affected by high prices). Governments are constantly looking for ways to pick taxpayers’ pockets without getting noticed, which is why VAT is so popular in Europe.

Interpol isn’t an international police agency, even though Hollywood likes to depict it as such. It’s actually more like an electronic bulletin board on which police agencies around the world can post their “wanted” notices.

Other police agencies can read the notices—or ignore them—as they choose.

Interpol isn’t supposed to get involved in politics. But not all of its members—and almost every country, except North Korea and Kosovo, are members of Interpol—are so scrupulous.

Interpol abuse happens when a nation (usually an authoritarian regime) puts a “wanted” notice on the Interpol bulletin board on a political opponent.

This abuse is generically known as transnational repression, because it cuts across national borders and it involves everything from spyware to assassinations to Interpol. But Interpol abuse is an important facet of the wider problem.

The first court test of whether local governments can ban police from enforcing certain gun laws is playing out in a rural Oregon county, one of a wave of U.S. counties declaring itself a Second Amendment sanctuary.

The measure that voters in the logging area of Columbia County narrowly approved last year forbids local officials from enforcing most federal and state gun laws and could impose thousands of dollars in fines on those who try.

Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions have been adopted by some 1,200 local governments in states around the U.S., including Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Illinois and Florida, according to Shawn Fields, an assistant professor of law at Campbell University who tracks them. Many are symbolic, but some, like in Columbia County, carry legal force.

If you have not yet reached forty years of age, you had not until this last month experienced the rate of consumer price increases Americans experienced in April. We have to journey all the way back to 1981 for that. How, with the labor force participation rate so low and so many jobs unfilled, can the prices of everything–including wages–be rising? Stagflation isn’t supposed to happen, especially not with so much supposed slack in the labor market!

That’s what happens when the Fed prints money as if it were toilet paper and the government spends it as if it were water.
