Culture desk: Cuban Proved He’s Unfit for WH
Dallas Mavericks owner and reputed presidential aspirant Mark Cuban’s
initial decision to stop playing the national anthem at home games, argues
Cheryl Chumley at The Washington Times, proves “he’s not the right man” to
be leader of the free world. “Any American who can’t support the playing
of the national anthem is an American who can’t properly represent the
nation in the White House.” The anthem, after all, is “unifying”; it
embodies the notion that “America is a country filled with citizens from
all walks of life, from all regions of the earth, from lands with all
ethnicities and backgrounds and beliefs. . . . It’s not for an elitist
basketball-team owner to say otherwise.”
Eye on the economy: Joe’s Big ‘Inheritance’
At The Wall Street Journal, James Freeman observes “an odd pattern of
dissonance between the economic data the government reports and the
president’s characterization of the economy”: first, “encouraging updates
from federal agencies,” then “gloomy proclamations from the Oval Office
intended to justify massive federal action.” Indeed, December’s job
openings, 6.6 million, makes for “the greatest ‘inheritance’ any US
president has ever passed on to his successor,” far more than what
Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama received. President Biden also
“decries the problems resulting from lockdowns without acknowledging they
are being imposed by governors who enjoy his active support.” He insists
massive federal spending is needed, though “every day brings signs of a
reviving economy that is ready to roar if only his allies in politics and
teachers’ unions will let it.”
Pandemic journal: Who Can Believe WHO?
A new report from the World Health Organization all but ruled out a lab-
based source for COVID — yet, charges Spectator USA’s Amber Athey, WHO
“has proved itself to be far from trustworthy on matters related to China
and the coronavirus.” The organization notoriously echoed Beijing’s false
claim early on that the virus doesn’t transmit between humans, and Wall
Street Journal reporting suggests “the WHO team intended to build on
previous reports by Chinese officials, rather than mount its own
independent investigation, and would not focus on the possibility that the
virus escaped from a lab.” The only party credulous enough to believe its
claims is Team Biden, which has made rejoining WHO a touchstone of its
“symbolic anti-Trumpism” — actual “benefits” to Americans be damned.
From the right: $15 Wage’s True Cost
Under Senate rules, President Biden’s proposal for a $15 minimum wage must
impact the budget to be included in a “budget-reconciliation bill” and
bypass the 60-vote requirement to break a filibuster, explain Andy Puzder
and Jon Hartley at National Review. So Sen. Bernie Sanders has cited two
studies suggesting the new wage would boost federal revenue $65.4 billion
a year. Yet the studies are based on “partisan research”; the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Office predicts a $15 wage would actually add $54
billion to the deficit from 2021 to 2031 — and kill 1.4 million jobs.
Sanders’ claim is “grossly misleading,” if not “simply wrong.” Including
the $15 wage in a reconciliation bill “would make a mockery” of the rules
— and “seriously reduce job opportunities for the people who need them
most.”
Conservative: GOP’s Death Greatly Exaggerated
Commentators are “pronouncing the Republican Party dead, or nearly dead,
or dying or something,” snarks the Washington Examiner’s Byron York. And
yes, with Dems controlling the White House, Senate and House, “no one can
argue that the GOP is doing well.” Yet Republicans put up a “remarkably
robust performance for a dead party,” with “extremely close” losses. And
“a party that came so close to winning everything last November” isn’t
likely to be dead in February. Truth is, the “GOP-is-dead talk is coming
mostly from groupthink journalists and Democrats” eager for partisan
advantage. In the past few “terrible months,” with Trump’s election
tantrums, the Capitol riot and the impeachment trial, “the GOP took a
serious hit.” But its problems will pass, and “the Republican Party can
emerge stronger in the future.”
