A few reads to recap the week…
“‘If you’re retired and on a fixed income, inflation really, really hurts,’ said Rhee. ‘We’ve come out of decades of historically low-interest inflation to all of a sudden pretty substantial inflation, especially in things that matter to people, which is food and fuel.’”

“The Army missed its recruiting goal by about 15,000 new soldiers in 2022, coming up 25% short of its goal at a time when each of the services were struggling to meet their benchmarks. Military officials worry that all of the branches have had to reach deep into their pools of delayed entry applicants, a move that puts them behind in recruiting for the new year.”

“The vice president and her acolytes asked Americans to believe that the vast continuing influx that began right after she and Biden took office was all so very ‘complex.’ During an April 2021 state visit to Central America, the border czar laid blame on ‘extensive storm damage because of extreme climate.’ And kept going.”

“As this particular comic strip explained, the ESG movement seeks to use a new set of criteria—environmental, social, and governance—to evaluate businesses and consumers based on how well they align with the progressives’ woke priorities, including climate radicalism, gender ideology, gun control, and even abortion on demand.”

“Biden’s ‘folksiness,’ contends The New York Times, ‘can veer into a personal folklore’ with ‘the factual edges shaved off to make them more powerful for audiences.’ (Not to be pedantic, but folklore is a collection of stories and legends shared by a community, not stories and legends concocted by a single person. Those are more appropriately called ‘fictions.’)”

“A report issued last year by the watchdog group Open The Books, ‘The Militarization of The U.S. Executive Agencies,’ found that more than 200,000 federal bureaucrats now have been granted the authority to carry guns and make arrests – more than the 186,000 Americans serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.”

“The Justice Department was sued on Thursday by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project over claims the DOJ failed to comply with Freedom of Information Act requests for documents that explain why it ignored protests outside Supreme Court justices’ homes earlier this year.”
