Labor productivity hits record low in the post-war under Joe Biden, even worse than 1974
THEY PRETEND TO PAY US . . . WE PRETEND TO WORK.
Planting "evidence": Dirty rotten FBI spent 9 hours "searching" Trump's residence on Monday after fruitless hours-long May recon mission
A source close to the former president expressed concern that FBI agents or DOJ lawyers conducting the search could have “planted stuff” because they would not allow Trump’s attorneys inside the 128-room building to observe the operation, which lasted more than nine hours. ...
In May, Corcoran granted access into Mar-a-Lago’s windowless storage room to FBI agents who spent several hours searching through the boxes. Trump stopped by the basement to say hello at one point, says someone who was there.

Little Marco gets it right
'Using government power to persecute political opponents is something we have seen many times from 3rd world Marxist dictatorships But never before in America,' wrote Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida on Twitter.
The Federal Government has been collecting record taxes for months, but that's not good enough for The Beast: The Manchin inflation bill gives the IRS $80 billion to collect even more, $204 billion extra in the next ten years
Meanwhile Sean Hannity on the radio is talking about anything but.
FEDS COLLECT RECORD TAXES... ^

Reconciliation bill includes nearly $80 billion for IRS including enforcement, audits: What that means for taxpayers :
Collectively, those improvements are projected to bring in $203.7 billion in revenue from 2022 to 2031, according to recent estimates from the Congressional Budget Office.
Gee, I guess it didn't work so well
The singer has credited her husband, who founded Amazon Herb Company, purveyors of botanical supplements, with helping turn her on to medical marijuana as a treatment for cancer.
Meanwhile the rich get a $14 billion gift in the Manchin "inflation" bill because the carried interest loophole fix was dropped to please Senator Sinema
Democrats estimated that the proposed changes to the carried interest rules would have raised $14 billion over 10 years.
Joe Manchin's gift to America: IRS gets a whopping 58% funding increase each and every year for ten years over fiscal 2021
They're coming for YOU.
The IRS spent $13.7 billion last year.
The Manchin bill gives the IRS an additional $79.6 billion over ten years:
. . . it will take time to phase in the added IRS funding . . .
CNBC says you WANTED this:
More than two-thirds of registered voters support boosting the IRS budget . . .
LOL, are YOU ever going to get it, good and hard.
LOL, watch for dozens of phony House Democrats who ran on repeal of Trump's 2017 SALT caps vote once again come Friday for a bill (Joe Manchin's) which doesn't remove them and adds more taxes on most Americans
Trump raising taxes on rich coastal elites and Democrats never doing anything about it after running on a promise to do so will never not be funny.
House Dems Drop SALT Pledges To Back Manchin Bill
Democrats and Republicans have forcefully disputed whether the Inflation Reduction Act would raise taxes on middle-class households making less than $400,000, which would violate a core Biden pledge. The non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation, found that the measure would raise $16.7 billion on taxpayers making less than $200,000 in 2023.

US COVID-19: The Big Picture through July 2022
Total cases monthly in 2022:
Jan 20.3 million
Feb 3.95m
Mar 1.07m
Apr 1.25m
May 2.89m
Jun 3.33m
Jul 3.65m.
We averaged 1.68 million cases monthly in 2020 and 2.88 million monthly in 2021.
Monthly cases in 2022 through July now average 5.20 million, down from 5.46 million last month.
Because of home tests and generally milder cases both going unreported, the case data is not very predictive.
The encouraging news is in the deaths per day data, which shows that the pandemic is clearly less severe in the United States two months in a row. Both June and July deaths were low enough to make 2022 as a whole look better than either 2020 or 2021 in each of them.
Deaths per day are still approximately 10x higher, however, through July, and 4x higher in July, than for the average annual rate for influenza.
Deaths per day from COVID-19 in the US ticked up slightly in July 2022 to 383, higher than in May, as was expected
July 2022: 383
June 2022: 363
May 2022: 373
Apr 2022: 426
Mar 2022: 980
Feb 2022: 2,247
Jan 2022: 1,987
Deaths per day overall, however, are still down in 2022 compared with both 2021 and 2020 after hitting 1,050 per day at the end of June:
2020: 1,131
2021: 1,310
2022 through 7/31: 953

Yeah, that Big Bang thingy was pretty modest when you really look back at it
When you try to say something profound and end up proving only that you are a nitwit:
She's very very naughty
Schumer says Sinema left ‘no choice’ but to cut carried interest from key bill
Ann Coulter's going to be furious.
