Red States Lead the Way in Economic Recovery and Employment



Red states are leading the charge in economic recovery, as measured by 2020 fourth quarter gross domestic product (GDP) numbers and February 2021 unemployment rates, according to new government figures released Friday.



The top three states in quarter-over-quarter growth, South Dakota (9.9 percent), Texas (7.5 percent), and Utah (7.1 percent) are under Republican trifectas, with GOP control of both state legislative chambers and the governorships.



"The Texas economy is on 🔥🔥🔥" the Lone Star state's Republican governor Gregg Abbott announced on Twitter. "That means more jobs & more prosperity for Texans," he added.



Kim Reynolds, the GOP governor of Iowa (6.3 percent), took to social media in a similar vein, calling Iowa "the #1 state for opportunity" and reinforcing its reluctance to lock down: "Had kids back in school since August."

Democrats Will Kill the Goose That Lays the Golden Vaccines



Thanks to a unique partnership between public sector investment at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a robustly capitalized private sector biopharmaceutical industry, the United States has created an engine for new cures and treatments that is the envy of the world.



Both parts of this engine are essential. NIH funds the basic science that identifies promising leads for drug development, and the private sector takes those findings and sees if they can be used to develop new treatments. This latter step must be funded by the private sector because it can move much faster and more creatively than the public sector's grant application process—and there is simply more money in the private economy than in the public sector.



The value of this public private partnership has just been proven in a spectacular way. Thanks to the ambitious streamlining of regulations and other initiatives in President Trump's Operation Warp Speed, biopharmaceutical companies were able to rapidly take a theory developed with publicly financed research into mRNA and use the private sector's considerable resources and agility to develop vaccines for COVID-19 less than a year after it was first identified. NIH Director Francis Collins was right when he called the speed "breathtaking" and said that the Trump administration deserves credit.



Now, even while taking credit for the distribution of these vaccines under President Joe Biden, Democrats want to destroy this critical partnership in the short-sighted search for a nonexistent reward.



According to The Hill, key Democrats, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), are pressuring the United States to support a radical proposal at the World Trade Organization. They seek to strip patent protections for COVID-19 vaccines. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is also reported to have expressed support for this measure.



In other words, they want to kill the goose that lays the golden vaccines. It is hard to imagine a more destructive step for the current pandemic and future drug development.



First, as numerous experts have pointed out, stripping patent protections would not meaningfully increase manufacturing capacity. That's because there are a limited number of places with the infrastructure needed to safely make the vaccines, and they are already being employed to do so. Even Bill Gates, whose foundation is dedicated to vaccine distribution in developing countries, has said, "There's not a single additional vaccine that would have come out of [the WTO effort]."



Second, and more fundamentally, the Left consistently fails to understand the kind of incentives that their big government, anti-capitalist economics create. Even if new manufacturing capabilities are brought online, removing the patent protections will simply disincentivize the current patent holders from continuing to produce their vaccines once the wealthier countries of the world are fully vaccinated. So, without patent protections there will be fewer available vaccines for developing countries than if protections remain in place.



That's in the short term. Removing patent protections would also send a chilling signal across the biopharmaceutical industry, drying up investment and research and development dollars. This would delay or even prevent entirely the next generation of treatments.



This same criticism also applies to most of the Democrats' proposals regarding drug prices. They sacrifice the future to benefit the present—and even that short-term benefit is minimal.



H.R. 3 was a grab bag of destructive policies that would cripple biopharmaceutical development by drying up investment in the future. This includes allowing Medicare to dictate the price of drugs. The Democrats refer to it as negotiating prices, but the way the bill is structured, manufacturers must accept the government's suggested prices or face punitive taxes on the gross sales of the drugs.



Defenders of this idea protest that in other countries, governments set the prices of drugs. This is true. It is also true that these same government routinely refuse to pay for drugs that are available to patients in the United States. That's because the government is only interested in paying what a drug is worth to the government, not to patients. Patients in those countries, at least, do have some recourse: They can come to America to be treated.



But if America follows the same path, where will American patients go to get treatments that are never developed? Where will we go if Democrats kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?

During the past year, obedience to politicians, their cherry-picked experts and government bureaucrats has been demanded of Americans as a patriotic duty — all in the name of science. From no corner have these calls been louder, more frequent and expressed with greater opprobrium, than from members of the Democratic Party – the self-proclaimed "Party of Science."



Americans have been insulted, censored, shouted down and physically attacked for requesting empirical evidence before agreeing to imprison themselves in their homes, abandon interpersonal contact, shutter their businesses, sacrifice their children's education and walk around with condensation-laden glasses – all imposed with the imprimatur of "science."  This, despite the knowledge that absent effective vaccines, there was little we could do to alter the epidemic's ultimate course.



Alas, the data is in. States that took a balanced approach to the epidemic fared as well or better than those that imposed prolonged, stringent, economy-crushing and unemployment-inducing lockdowns.



Florida, with its large elderly population, took a targeted but liberal path and is 27th among states in its COVID-19 population death rate. Florida's 1605 deaths per million people is much lower than that of New York (2668 deaths/million), New Jersey (2,833 deaths/million) and Michigan (1802 deaths/million), and only modestly higher than that of much younger California (1545/million). These latter 4 states employed prolonged, draconian lockdowns. Florida's unemployment rate sits at an impressive 4.7 percent, compared with California's 8.3%, Michigan's 6.8%, New Jersey's 7.7% and New York's whopping 8.5%.

No more tweets from president Trump, but instead

Israel is on fire,

we have war in the middle east,

Major US pipeline has been hacked,

gas stations are running out of fuel,

the price of everyday goods is skyrocketing,

Russia is massing troops on the border with Ukraine.

Ukraine is threatening to take Crimea back by force.

China is threatening Taiwan and its neighbors while also threatening our ships and Navy.

N Korea is testing missiles again and restarting their nuclear weapons program.

Iran has been emboldened and making more than their normal threats.

Our southern border is a humanitarian disaster caused directly by this administration, and the administration that promised transparency is hiding it and not letting the media have access.

Ford is closing a plant and moving it to Mexico after just bringing it back from Mexico because of the current Administration's plan for Increased taxes.

Price of steel up 145%,

Lumber 126%,

Wheat up 25%,

Food index up 25%,

Cotton 35%,

Silver 38%,

Copper 50%,

Soybeans 71%,

Oil 80%,

Pipeline jobs lost.

Wall construction jobs lost.

1.9 trillion in stimulus that funds the administrations pet projects and only paid a fraction to the people.

29 trillion in debt with 4.8 trillion projected 2021 deficit before the 2 trillion dollar stimulus proposed today for the new green deal.

9+% unemployment with millions of job openings that can't be filled because federal unemployment assistance makes it more advantageous for people to stay home than work.

Congratulation.s Biden voters .. well done

What does it say about a party whose best asset is that they realize too much of their product is really dangerous?

Nowhere near as much as what it says when people believe there is an alternative on offer.

DNC chairman, Jaime Harrison says Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin — whose vote is keeping Dems in power — is 'against America'.



With the Senate as evenly split as it currently is, many political observers are wondering why Harrison and his party would put their majority at risk by attacking Manchin.



HotAir's Ed Morrissey is one of those with questions:



Put aside Harrison's dishonest spin on the bill itself, and just marvel at his political ineptitude instead. Manchin is the only man standing between Mitch McConnell and control of the Senate floor. The massive shift in Manchin's home state puts enormous pressure on him to flip parties anyway. And now the chair of Manchin's own political party is calling Manchin a traitor not to the party but to America on national television for not supporting progressives' performative bill — which has no chance of passing the Senate even with Manchin's vote.



Harrison probably shouldn't count on Manchin's vote for the Green New Deal, either. Can't wait for Harrison to call Manchin a traitor to the planet when that happens.

Democrats have said they fear losing control of the Senate, but if they keep up their attacks on Manchin, they'll have no one to blame but themselves.

Around three dozen businesses in Fells Point, Baltimore, said in a letter that they won't pay taxes unless the city adequately deals with a surge in crime in the area that included a series of recent shootings earlier this month that left three dead.



Last week, 37 restaurants and small businesses sent a letter to the mayor's office stating that they would stop paying local taxes and other fees until "basic and essential municipal services are restored." The letter was addressed to Democrat Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, Democrat City Council President Nick Mosby, Democrat City Councilman Zeke Cohen, and Police Commissioner Harrison.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a stinging defeat for unions on Wednesday in a decision that struck down in part a California law allowing unions access to private property of companies they wanted to unionize.





The court struck down a law that would have given union organizers the right to enter private property without the owner's consent in order to attempt to organize workers

Of course crime has skyrocketed in Democrap run cities...It's "defund the poeleese" and "fuck the poeleese" coming from the ignorant savages on the streets as well as their political masters in government....And of course blacks are disproportionately affected...most of the skyrocketing crime is "black on black" crime...But we aren't supposed to discuss or even pay attention to that as once again, blacks are being used as pawns by their white, liberal, democrap, guardians....



Same old same old libtard, democrap, shit that has been going on since the late 1960s.
