Drug Costs Explode As Kamalanomics Massively Backfires
Posted By: FlyRight, 10/18/2024 1:44:59 PM
Go to Kamala Harris’ campaign website and among the very short list of alleged achievements is this: “She cast the deciding vote to lower drug prices and cap insulin prices for our seniors.” The only problem is that drug costs for seniors have skyrocketed since Harris signed that bill. Harris is pointing to the criminally misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act,” which got zero Republican votes, and which was supposed to lower the cost of prescription drugs by giving, as Harris puts it, “Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices with Big Pharma.”

One of the heavyweight bouts in the upcoming election is the U.S. Senate race in Nevada, between Donald Trump-endorsed Sam Brown, a retired Army captain, and incumbent Democrat Senator Jacky Rosen. But Brown's campaign has been sputtering of late, as my colleague in the Silver State, Brittany Sheehan, wrote in her column ahead of Thursday night's debate between the contenders: Indeed, his fortunes in the race seem to be going in the right direction. His numbers are moving up, as first-term incumbent Rosen's are trending downward.
Former President Donald Trump said Friday that he doesn’t understand why Republicans are clamoring for Nikki Haley to join him on the campaign trail when he beat her “badly” in the primaries — while insisting that the former South Carolina governor is already “helping” with his White House run.
“Yeah, I’ll do what I have to do,” Trump told “Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade, when asked if he plans on inviting Haley on the campaign trail “But let me just tell you — Nikki Haley and I fought, and I beat her by 50, 60, 90 points,” the former president continued.
Moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of ABC News delivered a frankly disgusting performance during the September presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The network had agreed that there would be no fact checks and no interruptions, yet the partisan duo proceeded to do exactly that. In fact, Trump was fact-checked at least five times, while Harris was left to say whatever the heck she wanted (much of it lies). Perhaps the most infamous moment came when Muir, using his most arrogant, self-important tone, interrupted Trump on crime statistics. Yes, the former president fought back and tried to explain why Muir was wrong,

The Israeli government said a drone was launched toward the prime minister’s house Saturday, with no casualties, as Iran’s supreme leader vowed that Hamas would continue its fight against Israel following the killing of the mastermind of last year’s deadly Oct. 7 attack.
Sirens wailed Saturday morning in Israel, warning of incoming fire from Lebanon, with a drone launched toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea, the Israeli government said. Neither he nor his wife were home and there were no casualties, said his spokesperson in a statement.
Little Israel is showing the world how to win again – and saving civilization and a free way of life into the bargain .... let Israel keep winning!
The problem with the JCPOA was, of course, its "sunset clauses." They assured Iran that it could legitimately have as many nuclear weapons as it can produce in just a few short years.
The West has left Israel to fight a war that should never have been Israel's alone. The Western nations, through diplomatic miscalculations, the need for votes, cowardice and a fear of conflict, have essentially outsourced their responsibilities for maintaining global peace to Israel,

"Real Time" host Bill Maher questioned whether it was wise for the liberal media to continue avoiding the growing controversies surrounding second gentleman Doug Emhoff."There's a lot of scuttlebutt in the news this week about Doug," Maher said in a panel discussion on Friday's "Overtime" online segment of his HBO show. "If people don't know what's going on, the Daily Mail is reporting that three women [Emhoff's ex-girlfriend] talked to contemporaneously, which has been the standard very often in these cases, that she said back in, I think,
As RedState previously reported, Hamas leader and mastermind of the Oct. 7 massacre, Yahya Sinwar, was eliminated by the IDF earlier today. It is a day of justice and celebration, though there is still grief over the hostages who have not been returned yet.
The grief is now turning to rage as once again, we discover just how corrupt the U.N.'s relief agency, UNWRA, is and how it has been infiltrated with Hamas operatives. Yahya Sinwar was killed along with two other terrorists, one being his bodyguard, and an ID card found on Sinwar's body shows that the man was also a UNWRA teacher.

Western powers, often suppliers of advanced weaponry to Israel, are pushing the Jewish state to stop fighting Hamas and Hezbollah. Why?
You would probably laugh. Orthodox Jews do not use electronic or electrical devices during the Sabbath and holidays. Smartphones, computers, and the like are generally turned off with the entry of a holy day and only turned back on when the day goes out the following night. So what happens when Israel assassinates Hassan Nasrallah or kills Yahya Sinwar on one of these days? Orthodox Jews are still curious people, even if their internet-connected devices are off.
FBI Caught Red-Handed Fudging Crime Data
11 replies
Readers of I&I know all about how the Biden-Harris regime has been fudging jobs numbers to make monthly gains look bigger than they really are. Turns out, it’s been doing the same with crime statistics … this time to make it look like violent crime is on the way down.
RealClearInvestigations dug into the FBI’s data and found that the law enforcement agency had been criminally misreporting crime statistics in a way that just happened to help Biden-Harris look like it’s been tough on crime.
Last fall, for example, the FBI reported that violent crime had dropped by 2.1% in 2022.
Trump vs. the Celebrities

Onscreen-tough guy Robert De Niro says Donald Trump is “an idiot” who, “wants to destroy this country.”
Renowned historian Rosie O’Donnell famously maintains that Trump is, “the worst thing that ever happened to the United States.”
Good-humored Will Smith — who famously introduced “throwing hands” to the Oscars — called American citizen’s support for Trump “absolute collective insanity.”
Constitutional authority Bruce Springsteen says Trump is “a moron,” and “The most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”
Public intellectual and role model Howard Stern says he, “hates Trump voters and they are stupid.”
At some point, the hippies in the '60s learned that if they took a bath and put on nicer looking clothes, then people would think their insane ramblings actually had some intellectual weight to them. They wormed their way into universities and media, pushing government reforms and slowly but surely injecting leftist radicalism into the government. Now, we have open socialists winning seats in government, a socialist healthcare system, and a legitimate communist as the chosen and installed candidate for the Democrat Party's attempt at the White House.

Former President Barack Obama came out swinging at Friday’s rally in Arizona, questioning former President Donald Trump’s competence.
The 44th president sharply criticized his successor throughout the appearance in Tucson, taking aim at Mr. Trump’s ability to articulate policy positions and his age. Mr. Obama’s comments come just months after President Biden, 81, dropped out of the race over concerns about his coherence.
If elected, Mr. Trump, 78, would be the oldest president in U.S. history by the end of his term. “Along with his intentions, there is also a question of his competence,” Obama said. “He’s giving two, 2 1/2-hour speeches. Just word salads.
Fans at Florida’s Disney World theme park are furious and offended over the extremely high prices of the food at a new bakery opening this fall with a single slice of cake priced as high as $26, and a Coca Cola at $8 a cup.
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers which will open soon on the BoardWalk at Disney World in Orland, Florida, is set to replace the ESPN Club which was closed in 2020. But Disney fans are already ripping the new shop before it has even opened after the bakery’s price list was revealed on Reddit.
The Overrated Obama

My Red State colleague, Jeff Charles, has already reported on former President Barack Obama’s recent attempted public shaming of black men who don’t want to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, supposedly because of their misogyny.
I would like to associate with most of his column. The one exception I have is to this statement – “it’s the type of mistake that Obama doesn’t normally make.”
I beg to differ. Actually, I think it is the type of mistake that Barack Obama often made.
You know, Obama is the guy who once said, in 2008, “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or
No, it’s not “the economy, stupid,” in spite of the schizophrenic stock market since our remarkably resilient capitalistic economy ran head-on into the socialist-cum-communist Biden-Harris regime, with its $1.8-trillion deficit.
And no, it’s not domestic policy, where we have had the luxury of being on the receiving end of these:
High taxes.
High food prices.
High gas prices.
Sky-high regulations.
Alarmingly high crime rates throughout the country, particularly in states run by Democrats, where arrests are few, bail is nonexistent, and raging criminals enjoy no consequences for their assaults, rapes, murders, racist attacks, etc.

Alarm on Voting Machine Switching Votes

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to social media platform X to sound the alarm on a disturbing incident reported by a voter in Whitfield County, Georgia’s 14th district.
According to Greene, a constituent in Whitfield County noticed that their printed ballot did not reflect the selections they made on the voting machine, particularly changing their vote away from candidates they had chosen.
According to a viral Facebook post:
“FYI to all my voting friends and family a friend of mine in Whitfield County yesterday voted/ checked his selections then printed it checked the printed version and it was not marked the same !!!
Former Hamas head Yahya Sinwar could be seen throwing a stick at the IDF drone that targeted him on Thursday moments before his assassination, Israel's military showed in released footage.
In the footage, a masked Sinwar is circled in red with the stick that he threw at the drone. Sinwar can then be seen throwing the stick in the direction of the drone as he sits on a couch surrounded by the rubble of the building he was located within. IDF Spokesperson R.-Adm. Daniel Hagari released the footage late on Thursday night during his statement confirming Sinwar's death, where he described the events leading up to the assassination.
While the WNBA is getting sellout crowds for the finals between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, the league’s owners will not be making a return on their investment for the foreseeable future, sources close to the situation said. The NBA owns nearly 60 percent of the league. When one combines the NBA owners’ personal stakes in WNBA teams and the WNBA itself, the amount rises to 75 percent, a source with direct knowledge of the numbers said.

A new ad for Pennsylvania Democratic senator Bob Casey features a married couple with different politics but who find common ground on the incumbent senator. On politics, we just don’t agree — except for Bob Casey. He’s independent. That’s right! Casey’s leading the effort to stop corporate greed-flation and price gouging. Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating.
First, don’t buy the spin that Bob Casey is some independent maverick; he voted with the Biden administration’s position 98.5 percent of the time.
Second, note Casey isn’t

Washington— The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.
The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.
The information that could be seen in the redacted version released Friday appeared to be material that for the most part

District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan released a redacted version of the appendix to special counsel Jack Smith’s immunity motion on Oct. 18, offering more insight into the evidence undergirding his prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
So far, the tranche of released evidence consists of four volumes and nearly 1,900 pages, although large portions of the files are sealed or redacted.
Volume I consists of a series of interviews from the House Select Committee on Jan. 6 while Volume II is mostly tweets from the former president.
On the campaign trail this month, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to “close the federal Department of Education” and expand school choice — a wildly popular concept that cuts across party lines, new polling shows.
Good news: If he wins the White House again, he can do both.
The federal Department of Education is an unconstitutional waste of time and money. Its very existence arguably violates the Tenth Amendment: The word “education” appears nowhere in the Constitution.
The federal government has spent well over a trillion dollars on K-12 education since the department’s inception, while failing to improve student performance.
