INTRIGUE IN D.C.

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 10, 2024

     WILL PRESIDENT BIDEN STEP ASIDE AND LET SOMEONE ELSE BE THE DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE? HE SWEARS HE WON’T. THE WHITE HIOUSE HAS BEEN COVERING UP BIDEN’S MEETING WITH DOCTORS, INCLUDING ONE WHO DEALS WITH PARSINSON’S DISEASE.

     THE THING ABOUT THE MEDIA IS THAT WHILE THEY HAVE ENABLED BIDEN’S ELECTION AND PRESERVED HIM IN OFFICE, THEY DON’T LIKE BEING LIED TO. YOU COULD SEE THE HOSTILITY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS IN TUESDAY’S BRIEFING.

     THE REAL QUESTION IS NOT WHO THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE WILL BE, BECAUSE WHOEVER IT IS THE ECONOMIC, BORDER AND FOREIGN POLICY PROBLEMS WILL REMAIN OUR BORDERS MUST BE CONTROLLED AND THE SIZE AND COST OF BIG GOVERNMENT MUST BE CUT SUBSTANTIALLY. THE ADMINISTRATION IS BRAGGING ABOUT JOBS ADDED LAST MONTH. WHAT THEY AREN’T TELLING YOU IS THAT ONE THIRD OF THOSE JOBS – 70,000 — WERE IN STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT. GOVERNMENT HIRING HAS SURGED OVER JUST THE LAST YEAR AS PRIVATE-SECTOR HIRING HAS FALTERED.

     THAT IS NOT A GOOD MODEL FOR PROSPERITY – PERSONAL OR NATIONAL.

     THE LEFT IS CRITICING PROJECT 2025 PRODUCED BY THE CONSERVATIVE HERITAGE FOUNDATION. READ IT FOR YOURSELF AT HERITAGE.ORG. IT IS A BLUEPRINT FOR FIXING THE NATION. I’M CAL THOMAS.
