On Nov. 25, 1783, nearly three months after the Treaty of Paris was signed ending the American Revolution, the remaining British soldiers withdraw from New York City, the last British military position in its former colonies.
“I’ve always had a lot of respect for the picture business. It’s been good to me,” was a typically modest quote from one of the most recognizable movie stars of the late 1940s and into the 1950s. Arkansas native Alan Ladd led one of the most tortured paths to Hollywood fame, a story worthy of a film itself.
"House Republicans have been ready to work across the aisle on much needed infrastructure development, but we were stonewalled at every turn," said Congressman Westerman. "The $1.2 trillion so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework, the largest such bill in history— even dwarfing an inflation adjusted FDR New Deal price tag— never had a hearing or a mark-up in a House committee. If it had, Americans might have found out that only about half of the bill has anything to do with infrastructure. The rest is wasteful spending on the Green New Deal and leftist priorities. Speaker Pelosi prohibited all 435 members of the House from making a single change to the bill. That's ridiculous. 435 members of Congress were elected to serve their constituents, not rubber stamp the $1.2 trillion whim of the Senate. Moreover, the passage of this bill is directly tied to the massive socialist spending bill that will be voted on in the upcoming days. These spending bills do not 'build back better' as Democrats have promoted. They will tear down our country and devastate our economy. I proudly voted no."
According to the Wall Street Journal, President Biden’s Department of Justice is proposing the United States government pay $450,000 to illegal immigrants who were separated from their children under the previous Administration’s policies, for the mental health trauma they incurred. I have no doubt that it’s traumatic for small children to be separated from their parents, but the fact of the matter is, these parents broke the law, and they shouldn’t be rewarded for doing so.
Democrats are in disarray. You may have heard that phrase repeated on the nightly news or your social media feed, and I can tell you it’s true. Democrats were finally able to produce the text of the reconciliation bill on Thursday afternoon, and it showcases policies that will continue to throw our nation into chaos. Inflation is skyrocketing, our southern border is in crisis, Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan, and supply chains have run dry. The now $1.75 trillion reconciliation bill fails to do even one thing to address these urgent issues.
