Goodbye, Cheney - not goodbye, inflation
Michael Reagan
The best news of the week for all Americans is that Liz Cheney
lost. Big time.
Her crushing demise in Wyoming's Republican primary shouldn't
have been a surprise to anyone - and she deserved it.
Congresswoman Cheney - despite voting with the Trump administra-
tion more than 90 percent of the time - had come down with a politi-
cally fatal case of the "I Hate Trump Syndrome.”
After she sold her soul to the Democrats running the House's
Jan. 6 show trial, the liberal media - who not-so-secretly probably
hated her father more than they hated Saddam Hussein - had turned
her into their favorite Republican.
Cheney was so honored, she apparently really started believing
what they've been saying on MSNBC and CNN about her great moral
courage in the defense of our democracy.
After she was rejected by the conservative Republicans of her
very red state, she compared herself to Abraham Lincoln and hinted
about running for president in 2024. Seriously.
Meanwhile, as the Biden administration is taking victory laps
around the U.S. over the passage of its fraudulent Inflation Reduc-
tion Act, the country doesn't care about our current president.
Everyone in the media is still talking about Donald Trump and the
ramifications of the FBI's unprecedented and unjustified raid on his
home, aka "The Fishing Expedition at Mar-a-Lago.”
This latest abuse of federal power by the Democrats in their
never-ending war to destroy Trump's future is another free topic for
the news-and-opinion manufacturers in the liberal media industrial
complex.
The facts are thin and the official charges against Trump are
still unspecified and probably unjustified. Sound familiar?
But so what? The actual facts are always irrelevant to the anti-
Trump media.
The FBI raid was automatically justified - because its target
was Donald Trump.
Turn on CNN and MSNBC and their pundits and the gang of partisan
former FBI and CIA hacks they've hired are already virtually saying
Trump should be executed for treason - or at least banned from ever
running for office again.
Then there's Joe Biden's "historic" legislation to end inflation,
the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act.”
"Isn't it great?" so many people said. "No more inflation! The
Democrats just passed a law to end inflation! God bless Joe Manchin!”
Really? What is it in the bill that makes anyone, but Biden's
White House economists think it will actually reduce inflation -
which has been caused by irresponsible federal fiscal and monetary
policies?
The defenders of the bill claim with a straight face it will
spend $800 billion the federal government doesn't have to reduce the
deficit $300 billion. Sounds like Democrat Math 101 to me.
The Inflation Reduction Act is such a fraud that even the liberal
media have had to admit it is not going to reduce inflation.
The media have decided that, despite its deliberately misleading
title, it is really a climate change, health care and tax bill.
It's a downsized, Manchin-approved "Build Back Better" bill
stuffed with billions of subsidies for green companies, climate
change boondoggles and rich people who can afford to buy electric
cars or rooftop solar panels.
Plus, it will fund the hiring of 85,000 new IRS agents, with gun
training, to crack down on the country's 721 billionaires, and it
pushes the lie that families earning less than $400,000 a year will
pay no new taxes.
Someday all Americans are going to realize that whenever Demo-
crats want to slip an expensive and harmful federal bill past the
American people, they just give it a nice sounding name like the
"Inflation Reduction Act."
Democrats never speak the truth about the big laws they pass
which is "Stick with us. We only want to raise your taxes, grow the
government and limit your freedoms.”

Mr. Reagan nailed this one but as usual, I will add my two cents
worth and expand on the subject of how Liz Cheney turned her back on
the Republican Party, just like her Dad and G.W. Bush did, because
they were too afraid of the Democrats to stand up and work for ALL
Americans.
Now, with the midterms on the near horizon, it is time to be
very aware and vigilant in ensuring voter integrity and train as
many volunteers as we can to be there even in the early voting.
In 1982 a Carter appointed judge signed a bill that restricted
Republicans from forming Election Integrity Groups that would allow
more poll watchers as well as oversight at the vote compiling
centers.
This bill did not expire until 2018 so this election will be much
harder to cheat but don't think for a moment that they won't try.
The easiest thing to do is ignore Cheney and pretend she is just
a bad part of history.
Now in the near future the SCOTUS will rule on the legality of
the Constitutionality of the state legislatures making the rules that
apply to how the elections will be run in ALL states and then no more
liberal cheating will be tolerated.
What a wonderful thing to actually follow the law.
May God restore our land.
Conservatively,
John
