Upon reflection, Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria of Virginia said that the Inflation Reduction Act passed in August was more an environmental bill than one addressing inflation, according to the Daily Caller.
Speaking at a BlueGreen Alliance event on Aug. 24, Luria said: “The Inflation Reduction Act — that might be the name, but it’s a huge environmental bill that includes a lot of things, such as the tax credits necessary to make these kind of developments.”
Another recent example is the Respect for Marriage Act, which utterly destroys the historical definition of marriage. Some “respect.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — With the Respect for Marriage Bill to codify gay marriage nearing final passage, Representative Ilhan Omar has asked for an additional amendment to allow another form of marriage people might want to take advantage of from time to time.
"Hey guys, I dunno, can we add, let's say, 'marriage to your own brother' to the list of officially recognized marriages?" said the Congresswoman from Minneapolis. "Like, say, if you want to rig the immigration system in your favor by marrying a relative, maybe we should just go ahead and legalize it, just in case. Not that I would do that myself, don't be silly."
The congresswoman has requested the new law be retroactive to cover anyone who may have engaged in this activity in the early 2000s. "That would ensure we, ya know, cover our bases and stuff," she said.
It's hard to make the case that Republicans don't care about the economy when you've got boneheads like Schumer giving up the game.
Yesterday, in his sad attempt to talk about "Bidenomics" vs "MAGAnomics," President Biden pointed out that House Republicans didn't support the Inflation Reduction Act.
Never mind the Inflation Reduction Act did NOTHING to reduce inflation.
Republicans are PRO-inflation because we named this bill ANTI-inflation!
Then, within 2 hours of Biden's chiding Republicans for not supporting the Inflation Reduction Act, Chuck Schumer tweeted this:
@SenSchumer
Because of our Inflation Reduction Act, nearly $75 million is on the way to plant trees across New York!
From Buffalo to the Bronx, we are planting the seeds for a cleaner and greener and cooler future for all!
We printed $75 million to plant trees in New York?
Now, I'm as pro-tree as the next guy, but how in the WORLD is this considered reducing inflation?
Whenever a lefty names a bill or department, you can be sure it'll do the opposite of what they say.
Inflation Reduction Act? More inflation.
Disinformation Governance Board? Tons of disinformation (plus censorship!).
Safer Streets For All Act? More dangerous streets for everyone.
That's the news out of California in a NY Post story that I can't link to because the cover photo is rated R. This is a rare case where we won't provide a link, but I'll provide quotes nonetheless.
Emboldened by new California laws that make it nearly impossible for cops to bust prostitutes, sex workers in Los Angeles' red light district stalk for business wearing no more than thongs, G-strings and high heels in broad daylight.
A 40-block area of Figueroa Boulevard in South LA sees hundreds of prostitutes, some barely out of their teens, plying their trade since Gov. Gavin Newsom passed the controversial Safer Streets for All Act, which decriminalized loitering with the intent to work as a prostitute in January.
"Before, this type of activity only happened at night where most citizens wouldn't see it, but now it's 24/7," one source told The Post.
"Now you can drive by at 2 p.m. and see it. Families drive by and see 10 girls on the corner, condoms on the ground.
Congress Pass Last-Minute 6,000 Page "Stop Kicking Puppies" Bill before Xmas Break
Overloaded with pork, the omnibus bill grants Congress members immunity for insider trading, crack/cocaine use, and, ironically, animal abuse.
Washington, D.C. — In an inspiring show of holiday spirit and legislative efficiency, Congress passed the "Stop Kicking Puppies Act of 2025" at 11:59 PM last night—just one minute before lawmakers fled Capitol Hill faster than Santa off a rooftop. The bill, touted as a "bold step for animal welfare," was only 6,000 pages long and released to members precisely 25 minutes before the vote. But hey, if you can’t read 6,000 pages in 25 minutes, are you even trying?
“This is a win for America’s puppies!” declared House Speaker Mike Johnson, eyes glistening with what could have been holiday cheer or three Red Bulls and a shot of whiskey. “Everything in this bill is great. The title says it all!”
A closer look at the bill reveals a plethora of strings attached including "essential" provisions that have absolutely nothing to do with puppies or kindness. Among the highlights:
Congressional Immunity Clause: Lawmakers are granted blanket immunity for insider trading, crack/cocaine use, and, in a delightful twist, actual puppy kicking.
Congressional Salary Increase: Members will enjoy a 66.6% salary increase, which some insiders have described as “spiritually appropriate.” One anonymous representative was heard muttering, "It’s what Jesus would have wanted."
Ministry of Truth funding: Millions allocated to an official "Ministry of Truth" office, which will employ a 24/7 staff dedicated to fact-checking your Uncle Steve’s Facebook posts. Because misinformation is dangerous, unlike your elected representative snorting an eight ball.
“Re-Education” Camps for Dissidents: Another few billion dollars set aside for "Truther getaway facilities," designed to help citizens "re-imagine freedom" while reciting mandatory oaths to the World Health Organization. It's like summer camp, but with fewer marshmallows and more trauma-based mind control.
"Plandemic 2 Expenses": A mysterious line item simply labeled "Plandemic 2 Expenses" with $4.2 billion attached. When asked for clarification, the bill's authors gave a knowing wink before disappearing into a plume of smoke.
Foreign Aid: Hundreds of billions funneled to Ukraine and Israel because, apparently, America’s puppies can only be saved once we’ve secured the geopolitical interests of at least two other countries.
In a shocking twist, only one lawmaker voted against the bill: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky). Massie’s reckless desire to read the legislation before passing it instantly made him the villain of the holiday season. The mainstream media wasted no time branding him a "viscous puppy kicker." CNN’s headline read "Massie the Menace: Why Does He Hate Puppies (and Freedom)?" And MSNBC’s take: "Massie’s No Vote: A Win for Fascist Puppy-Kicking Monsters Everywhere."
Critics point out that the "Stop Kicking Puppies" bill is a textbook example of Congress' favorite holiday tradition: bundling together sensible-sounding causes with ludicrous spending and hoping no one notices. By slapping a heartwarming title on a legislative monstrosity, lawmakers get to fund their pet projects (and pet-kicking immunity) while smearing anyone who objects.
"They do this every year," sighed one political analyst. "If they really cared about puppies—or anything—they’d vote on each issue separately. But that would make too much sense, and sense was voted out of Congress long ago."
As Congress jets off for the holidays, the nation can rest easy knowing that our lawmakers—having just approved billions for future pandemics and foreign countries—are working hard, not for the American people but for their own self interests. And while the puppies may be spared a few kicks, the taxpayer is getting the full boot on the neck once again. And if you object? Well, there's always room at one of those fancy new Truther camps, courtesy of the "Stop Kicking Puppies Act of 2025." ...
