The people of South Texas have dealt with unusually frigid temperatures and rolling blackouts. They are seeing gas stations shut down or have long, long lines. It reminds many of the Carter-era. Will Biden be another Carter?

NY Times Rates Trump Worst President on the Economy – and They Wonder Why It is Called Fake News. The paper’s ran a piece arguing that Donald Trump has the worst economic record of any modern president. In three years under Donald Trump the unemployment rate hit its lowest level in 50 years – and the lowest ever for blacks and Hispanics. The poverty rate hit its lowest level ever in the history of the United States. That was also true for blacks, Hispanics, female-headed households. Median household income rose to an all-time high with a gain of more than $5,000 from 2016-19 – and the percentage gains were most significant for minorities. The income gains in three years were higher than the gains in eight years under Obama. Household wealth rose 30% in four years. So how is this not the BEST record of any modern president? The Times counted the massive job and GDP losses of the pandemic year– when the global economy was flattened for much of the first half of the year.

It’s been nearly a month since the inauguration – and yet barriers and continued heavy police presence surround the U.S. Capitol. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson said the heavy law enforcement presence is to “send a signal” to Trump supporters that they are “dangerous” and “insurrectionists.” He recently told Fox News – “Obviously, leaders in Congress think walls and barriers work because they’ve surrounded the Capitol with them. Johnson said he’s been told the barriers will be in place at least until March. He is not happy about that. He said, “the Capitol is the people’s house. It shouldn’t be barricaded unless there are some real threats that I’m not aware of that they are not telling us about. I think we ought to take that fencing down and return to as normal position as possible. We agree! Keeping the Capitol behind fencing sends a signal that 74 million voters who voted for President Trump are dangerous to our democracy, they’re all insurrectionists, and that’s simply not the case.

An Indiana Republican is working to alert Americans to the fact that the Biden team is turning America over to China. In this, the year of the ox, we wonder if the president wants to turn the United States of America into the Peoples Republic of China.

Schools closures have devastating long-term economic consequences. With today’s ALG Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. The longer that schools remain closed or only offer virtual learning the more catastrophic the cost will be for students, parents, and teachers. On average, American students from kindergarten to fifth grade have missed out on 20% of the reading and 33% of the math skills they would have learned in normal times, according to a McKinsey report that analyzed test scores from around the country. As for the long-term impact on the U.S. economy from deprived education, McKinsey estimates a $14 to $28 trillion loss. Stanford economist Eric Hanushek said “Nobody’s paying attention to this absolutely stunningly large economic cost that just keeps piling up.” Hanushek warns policy makers that the main thing that drives both individual earnings and the economy is the skills of the people. Lower test scores translate to lower individual earnings to lower economic growth in the future. Thank you, teacher unions.

McConnell says Trump’s speech ‘not incitement,’ Senate trial was unconstitutional, but former president ‘still liable’ for riot:
https://dailytorch.com/2021/02/mcconnell-says-trumps-speech-not-incitement-senate-trial-was-unconstitutional-but-former-president-still-liable-for-riot/

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell believes former President Donald Trump committed no crime at the Jan. 6 Save America Rally that preceded the Capitol riot when he told protesters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”; that holding the Senate trial after Jan. 20 that McConnell himself postponed was unconstitutional; but that Trump can still be held criminally or civilly liable for the Jan. 6 riot. But, if McConnell, who voted not guilty, does not think any crime was committed by the “strict criminal standard,” why would he suggest that that Trump should be held accountable by the criminal or civil justice system?

A Rio Grande Valley, Texas resident is worried that her community could be endangered when President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security releases migrants into her local communities. She says they haven’t been vetted and they could have criminal records. She even calls for a state of emergency to be declared!

Trump once again exonerated and found not guilty by Senate—can the country move forward now?
https://dailytorch.com/2021/02/trump-once-again-exonerated-and-found-not-guilty-by-senate-can-the-country-move-forward-now/

Former President Donald Trump has once again been exonerated and found not guilty by the U.S. Senate in his second impeachment trial on all charges that he incited the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 by his speech at the Save America Rally when in fact he urged protesters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Presumably, now is the time for the country to move forward from the Trump presidency, independent of whether Trump decides to remain involved in national politics, including in the 2022 Congressional midterms or in 2024 if he decides to once again challenge President Joe Biden when he will be potentially facing reelection. For now, it is clear that whether or not Trump decides to run for president again, it will be the American people — and not the U.S. Senate — who decides his fitness for office. Nobody should be surprised at this outcome as the Jan. 6 speech was constitutionally protected by the First Amendment. In Brandenburg v. Ohio in 1969, the Supreme Court found “the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.” In that case, mere advocacy of violence or lawless action was not enough to sustain a conviction and at the Jan. 6 speech, there was no such advocacy, thus failing the Brandenburg test. This is a victory for free speech. The House simply could not prove its case, because once again, there was no crime, and nobody can be impeached and convicted without a crime. What do you think?

The president is pushing for a $1.9 trillion spending package and that’s on top of trillions more we have already spent during the pandemic. It is leading us to the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in U.S. history!
