Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) has disclosed that she purchased up to $100,000 worth of Bitcoin just weeks after Senators sought to make adjustments to the bipartisan infrastructure package’s cryptocurrency reporting rules. According to a Periodic Transaction Report filed Oct. 7, Lummis purchased $50,001-$100,000 in the digital currency on Aug. 16, from River Financial, a bitcoin exchange platform.

Live Q&A: National Guard Begins Filling Gov Roles; Break In Democrat Party Over Spending
The National Guard will begin filling roles of state employees in Connecticut starting next week as some unvaccinated employees are placed on unpaid leave. In other news, Democrats are split over disagreements on spending in both the proposed $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, as the federal government nears its debt…
Cynicism and Dishonesty in the Current Tax Proposals
Commentary I have written for years about Washington’s bipartisan fiscal policy—chronic overspending and a consequent inability to balance the federal budget. Neither party knows how to balance the federal budget. Today, Democrats are in the spotlight, because they are the ones proposing new taxes in a totally partisan (i.e., with zero Republican support) fashion. Two…
The $3.5 Trillion Big Government Socialist Bill Will Fail
Commentary I am going to go out on a limb and predict that, despite unanimous Democratic procedural votes in the House and Senate, the Bernie Sanders $3.5 trillion Big Government Socialist Bill will never pass into law. The more that people learn about this bill, the weaker it gets. There is already growing concern about…

The Anti-White Infrastructure Bill
Commentary The infrastructure bill the Senate passed on Tuesday discriminates against whites at every turn. Americans are enthusiastic about spending money on infrastructure—bridges, roads, broadband and green technologies. But this racist bill locates and hands out jobs and contracts projects based on race, not merit. Minority businesses and neighborhoods hold the inside track. If you’re…
Hell No to a Debt Ceiling Increase
Commentary Sometimes, when you go into a store with expensive merchandise on the shelves, you will see a sign that reads, “You break it, you buy it.” That’s a good slogan for the Republicans as they continue to battle the left’s economically catastrophic quest to bankrupt our country by authorizing some $6 trillion of new…
