One thing that fascinates me about @EvanMcMullin is he was so eager knee-jerk oppose anything Trump did that he ended up taking a lot of stupid positions.

But opposing killing Soleimani as he was planning to kill Americans was a required position for MSNBC talking heads. #utpol
Mike Lee worked hard for a strong conservative Supreme Court majority.

@EvanMcMullin joined conspiracy theorists like Michael Avenatti to smear them.

Go back 6 years - you won’t find a conspiracy theory McMuffin didn’t jump on so he could get booked on TV.

Of COURSE @EvanMcMullin went all in on the Steele Dossier.

Why would anyone believe anything this snake oil salesman had to say about anything? #utpol #utdebates
Then/Now.

When Evan ran in 2016 he attacked Trump for not calling to overturn Roe.

In 2022 when he was courting Democrat votes (and Act Blue $) he attacked the Court for overturning Roe.

He has no principles and will say anything to get elected.

5 reasons student loan bailout is bad:

1⃣Inflation
2⃣Regressive - taxing the poor to buy high-income earners grad degrees
3⃣Dark Brandon needs pandemic relief for grad degree holders?
4⃣Unfair to people chose cheaper options/military service to pay
5⃣ Should be done by Congress
Will be hilarious that just a week after Democrats (and their media allies) touted the "deficit reduction" in the "Inflation Reduction Act" they're about to cancel it all out to finance rich kids grad degrees in underwater basket weaving.

CC: @Sen_JoeManchin
.@BudgetHawks on impact on inflation:

"$10,000 of debt cancellation could add up to 15 basis points up front and create additional inflationary pressure over time."

Pretty incredible to write this entire piece without the context that the right's dark money efforts are a tiny fraction of the scale of the left.

Left wing dark money is so influential that the top expert CNN quoted in this piece .. is a left-wing dark money operative.
This section is phenomenal.

Robert Maguire says "we've never seen a group of this magnitude before."

Robert Maguire works for CREW - funded by Soros's Open Society Foundation - which has assets estimated at $3.7 BILLION.

Did CNN not Google Maguire or his org?
Also in that section - CNN refers to Arabella Advisors, Soros, and Hansjorg Wyss as "managing several smaller dark money groups."

SMALLER? According to the NYT Arabella spent more than a BILLION DOLLARS in the 2020 cycle alone.

Again RESEARCH HELPS.

There's about 20 different ways the Biden administration made this happen.
Let's do this.

1) Cancelling Keystone.

Obama admin estimated Keystone would create 43K jobs and generate $4.3B in economic activity. It moved 830K barres of crude a day in the safest way possible. Now its moved by train/truck, slower and more expensive.

2) Halting oil and gas leases on federal land.

In 2019 fed leases made up for 22% of US oil and 12% of natural gas production. The pause didn't last, but it hurt jobs and began the slow rise of energy costs they're now trying to make up for.

What a bizarre week on the topic of education.

The left is totally baffled by parent engagement on what’s happening in the classroom, and can’t decide whether to tell them they’re not wanted or.. sick the authorities on them.

A quick thread 🧵
Terry said the quiet part out loud —

Parents should pay taxes and hand over their kids, but are not allowed to ask questions about what they’re being taught.

This is one of the craziest stories I’ve read all year.

Fairfax threatens a special needs mother for releasing records THEY GAVE HER documenting accusations of “systemic abuse of special needs students.”

With his eviction moratorium Biden and the left have tried to portray “landlords” as greedy tycoons — they’re not.

Here’s a quick thread on some of the small landlords (disproportionately people of color) who have been hurt by this bad policy.

washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
In New Orleans: “The vast majority of landlords in New Orleans and Baton Rouge are Mom and Pops, they just can’t financially sustain it anymore because they have the taxes, they have the insurance, they have the water bill..”

Local media in DC reported that some small landlords were stuck with violent tenants who threatened them AND other tenants.

One landlord was violently attacked by a non-paying tenant .. but was still responsible for maintenance in the unit.
