Wednesday “Hump Day” Newsfeed: “I’m your captain, I’m your captain … Though I’m feeling mighty sick…”

🎶Inflation reaching record highs
Filling your gas tank makes you cry
Economic recession technically
Lying about climate emergency
Crime is up and morale down
Media acting like a bunch of clowns
Biden’s going after wealth
Epstein didn’t kill himself
We didn’t start the fire🎶

Nine Lives:

You’ve heard of “Proof of Life”? I think we’re gonna need a “Proof of Dead-as-a-Doornail-and-Mopping-Up-the-Pieces”. Can the Biden bunch get some balcony splatter samples and run it through one of those DNA companies advertised on TV?

Brie Stimson: CIA targeted al-Zawahri alone on his balcony after months of surveillance, building his ‘pattern of life’: President Biden said al-Zawahri was the only one killed in the precision drone strike in Kabul

Hanna Panreck: Tom Cotton jabs New York Times over Taliban leader’s op-ed: ‘I’ll promise not to harbor al Qaeda leaders’: Cotton famously set off staff uproar with his New York Times op-ed in 2020

Victoria Taft: Al Qaeda Leader Ayman al-Zawahiri Is Dead…for at Least the 4th Time

Tuesday (primary) election results:

Here’s hoping democrats up and down the nation’s ballots take an historic slaughtering…

Michael G. Zey: Armageddon Looms for the Democrat Party

Monica Showalter: Trump’s endorsements triumph in last night’s primaries

Paul Steinhauser: Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary too close to call between Lake, Taylor Robson: Kari Lake was leading Karrin Taylor Robson in Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary, with the race yet to be called … Lake was one of the Trump-backed candidates to win in different states’ republican primaries.

Paul Steinhauser: Eric Schmitt wins Missouri’s heated Republican Senate primary: Five states — Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Washington — hold primary elections on Tuesday

Jim Hoft: TRUMP-ENDORSED Arizona Attorney General Candidate Abe Hamadeh Wins GOP Primary!

Jim Hoft: Trump-Endorsed Senate Candidate Blake Masters WINS BIG in Arizona GOP Primary

Jim Hoft: MI-3 Primary: JOHN GIBBS DEFEATS RINO Peter Meijer Who Voted to Impeach Trump and Supported Democrat Spending Bills

‘Abortion rights’ in the voters’ hands…

Worth noting, out-of-state donors pumped millions of dollars into this ballot issue in Kansas. “An estimated 71% of contributions made to a pro-choice coalition in Kansas were from out-of-state donors”… Is that ‘okay’? People and activist groups that don’t even live in the state or pay taxes in the state are dumping money into the state to influence the elections of Kansas citizens?

Glenn Reynolds @ Instapundit:

DEMOCRACY AT WORK, EXACTLY AS DOBBS INTENDED: Kansans vote to uphold abortion rights in their state. “Kansas voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly struck down a proposed constitutional amendment that would remove language enshrining reproductive rights in their state, in a move widely seen as a victory for abortion rights activists. . . . A “yes” vote on the measure would remove from the state Constitution the right to an abortion and hand the issue back to the state legislature. A ‘no’ vote on the measure would make no changes, keeping abortion rights enshrined in the state Constitution.”

Kyle Morris: Kansas voters reject constitutional amendment granting lawmakers ability to regulate abortion: Kansas became the first state in the nation to vote on abortion following the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade

How far they will go…

The Biden Open Border Highly Successful Drug Industry:

The Brandon Stupid Economy, Stupid Brandon:

People have asked me if I think the bad outcomes we have been facing are intentional.
I think they are deliberate, whereby:
Intentional is a planned outcome.
Deliberate is a planned action regardless of all outcomes.
The destruction & chaos is *at least* deliberate.

They’re trying to call the recession right now the “progress recession.” The elites HATE you.

Govt spending is out of control. They are projected to spend $5.8 trillion this FY, about a quarter of GDP.
Normalizing for the insane covid spending years, the $1.4 trillion deficit is projected at 44% *more* than FY 2019!

Spinning up 2035’s production to consume in 2022 should be a 24 debate topic
Instead we will get focused grouped mush:
“Fair share”
“Corporations”
“Millionaires & Billionaires”
“Workers”
“Funding”
“Bipartisan relief package”
“Skills for the 21st Century”
“Inherited this problem”

The Biden Gestapo is coming…

Biden isn’t trying to hire 87,000 new IRS agents to go after 800 or 900 billionaires.
Enjoy your audits.
— Carol Roth (@caroljsroth) July 29, 2022

The 87,000 new IRS agents will not be auditing billionaires. Billionaires have the means to hire lawyers and accountants who will fight the IRS in court. The IRS wants easy pickings – middle class small business owners who have no choice but to settle. IRS will be targeting you.
— Eric Matheny 🎙 (@EricMMatheny) August 3, 2022

87,000 new IRS agents with the power to arrest you..
Of course they’re only gonna target people who pay federal income tax. Which is less than half of America, and skewed to one political party… https://t.co/br005Kx0yI
— Frog Capital (@FrogNews) August 3, 2022

They will tell you that they are going after “the wealthy” and “big corporations”.
But when that bloody claw reaches out to our blue collars, small businesses, and anyone working their ass-off for a living for themselves and their families that fake narrative/false premise will be shoved down our collective throats and demanded we swallow whole by the politician/dems/MSM, “Well, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about.” That means spending our money, time, stress, and danger of losing everything we own to prove our innocence…

WSJ: The IRS Is About to Go Beast Mode: The Schumer-Manchin bill has $45.6 billion to audit the middle class.

Progressives want Joe Biden to unleash what they call “beast mode” executive power, and the Schumer-Manchin tax bill supplies the cash to turn the Internal Revenue Service into Wolverine.
The pact between Sen. Joe Manchin and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer includes $80 billion in new funding for the tax man. Democrats claim this “investment” will yield more than $200 billion in revenue. That estimate is highly speculative, but if it’s anywhere close to right IRS auditors will soon be coming after tens of millions of Americans…

Democrats are scheming to double the size of the IRS by hiring an army of 87,00 new agents to spy on Americans.
To put that in context —> We have fewer than 20,000 Border Patrol agents. We should hire there instead.
