Another analysis finds economic destruction in the Biden ‘infrastructure’ agenda.
2. Senate Republicans have been trying to persuade President Biden to accept a scaled-down version of his new spending plans. Given the tax hikes included, a new report suggests that scaling the Biden “infrastructure” plan down to zero might be the best outcome for U.S. workers.
3. The Tax Foundation reports the results of its analysis:
4. What kind of a “jobs” plan results in fewer jobs? The Tax Foundation released its analysis on Friday, the same day that Mr. Biden was trying to explain why the latest U.S. employment report from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics fell short of expectations.
5. “Remember, when I took office in January, our economy was in a tailspin,” said the President in what has become his favorite falsehood.
6. Mr. Biden uttered these words eight days after his own Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that U.S. real gross domestic product “increased at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in the first quarter of 2021.”
Biden lies through his teeth constantly.

“The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax” is the headline on a story this week from ProPublica, which also avoids income tax.
2. The story is highly disturbing because someone broke the law in disclosing private tax-return data that ultimately ended up with ProPublica. This appears to be either a case of criminal hacking, an appalling abuse by IRS staff, or perhaps an abuse by foreign government actors.
3. As for the substance of the article, it is nominally about income taxes but it really amounts to a long gripe that the U.S. Constitution prohibits wealth taxes.
1. Biden And European Allies At Loggerheads on China and Russia
That is Axios' assessment based on facts on the ground. And it is bone-chilling at a time when China is clearly a malicious actor on world stage. Let us review the situation.
2. As President Biden departed Washington today, he told reporters he was going to use his first foreign trip to make "clear to Putin and to China that Europe and the United States are tight and the G7 is gonna move."
3. The problem is Biden's statements regarding the allies' shared objectives are not supported by the statements and actions of the allies themselves.
This politically motivated attack on the nation's entrepreneurs, who have done nothing wrong, just to build a bogus case for a 'wealth tax' (which is a vicious scheme that will ultimately destitute the middle income earners) is beyond disgraceful.
Wealth tax has failed everywhere it has been tried in Europe. While the 'wealth tax' is always sold by invoking envy of the super-rich, it ultimately falls on the middle income earners because that's where most of the nation's tax revenue always come from.
I have great regard for Mike Pence, one of the greatest Vice Presidents ever. While Democrats and the media pretend that their opposition to Trump was somehow rooted in Trump's intemperate utterances, what's their excuse to slander Mike Pence?
2. Mike Pence Speaks
Blasting H.R. 1, the Democrat-led ethics and voting rights package, Pence said Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats in Washington "want to literally codify many of the very practices that create the greatest opportunity for fraud."
He is right.
3. Mike Pence Speaks
While Pence avoided promoting conspiracies about the election, he did talk about "election integrity" and endorsed efforts in state legislatures nationwide to enact GOP-led voting legislation.
This is one hundred percent the right position for the GOP.
Folks, this is sophisticated psy-ops. Republicans have to find a way to defang the media's ability to manipulate millions on the right with cheap tricks. I suspect our intelligence agencies perfected this art form by concocting a mysterious QAnon apparition. It fooled millions.
Whenever Republicans' buttons are pressed just the right way, but they're being goaded into taking a position that will do absolutely nothing to further the Republican policy agenda while pumping up people on the right to expend energy in a futile way, suspect a dirty trick.
There is an extraordinary litany of 6 unanimous decisions in 2 weeks which could in part reflect an implied message from the justices that this is a court that is not nearly as rigid and divided as suggested by Democratic members and activists.
2. Recently, Breyer warned against any move to expand the Supreme Court. He also rejected the characterization of the current Court as “conservative” or ideologically rigid. jonathanturley.org/2021/06/01/unp…
3. Breyer was swiftly denounced by figures like cable news host Mehdi Hasan who called called for his retirement. Demand Justice, a liberal group calling for court packing, had a billboard truck the next day in the streets of DC warning “Breyer, retire. Don’t risk your legacy.”
