A hundred-year-old law designed to strengthen the United States is serving to weaken it.
The waiver of the Jones Act — passed in 1920 — by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday proves the point. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated:

House Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) did the unthinkable on Tuesday: He called out Representative Elise Stefanik’s (R-N.Y.) ghastly voting record:
We are falling prey to the high drama of swamp politics — the art of shuffling around the deck chairs [while ignoring the] large iceberg in front of our country….
Let us contemplate the message Republican leadership is about to send by rushing to coronate a spokesperson whose voting record embodies much of what led to the 2018 [shellacking] we received by Democrats….
We must avoid putting in charge Republicans who campaign as Republicans but then vote for and advance the Democrats’ agenda once sworn in.
Roy proceeded to list Stefanik’s specific positions and votes on key issues, including:

The phrase “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” attributed to English playwright William Congreve in The Mourning Bride, applies to Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.). Formerly third in command of the Republican Party in the House and head of the party’s conference, she is soon to be the former Representative from Wyoming.
She saw it coming. Once the No.1 and No. 2 powers-that-be — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) — pulled their support, it was all over but the voting.
The voting took place early Wednesday morning, and Cheney is gone.
But she isn’t leaving quietly. On Tuesday night, to a nearly empty House chamber, she claimed that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to the Republic:

One of President Donald Trump’s appointments to the federal court ruled that another of the anti-gun Left’s attempts to abrogate the Second Amendment has failed. In an obscure but vitally important ruling, U.S. District Judge Susan Brnovich tossed a lawsuit brought by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
The decision — Travieso v. Glock Inc. — is one in a long line of cases over similar lawsuits meant to bankrupt the American gun-manufacturing industry. And it squarely upholds a federal law designed to prevent just this sort of frivolous lawsuit from succeeding.
In March 2018, Carlos Travieso was shot in the back with a Glock 19 while traveling home from a youth camping trip. A passenger in the vehicle discovered the semi-automatic pistol and, noting that the magazine was missing, pulled the trigger. Unfortunately, there was a round in the chamber. The bullet entered Travieso’s back, severed his spine, rendering him a paraplegic.
The Brady bunch sued Glock, claiming that

In its Beige Book, a summary of the U.S. economy published eight times a year and largely based on anecdotal evidence, the Federal Reserve claims that recent price increases are “partly attributed to ongoing supply chain disruptions, temporarily exacerbated in some cases by winter weather events.”
Its authors are lying.

In normal times, Wall Street would greet a jobs report such as that just issued Friday morning by the Labor Department with a sharp decline in stock prices.
But these are hardly normal times. With massive government subsidies, spending, and the extension of unemployment benefits, what’s left of the free market in labor can hardly be seen. Instead of declining, stocks rose.
The Labor Department reported that

After eight hours of debate, the Texas Senate finally voted on Wednesday, 18-13, to pass a bill allowing any state resident over age 21 to carry a handgun without first having to seek government permission, unless he or she has a criminal history. The bill now goes to Republican Governor Greg Abbott, who has promised to sign it into law.
The new legislation makes Texas the 21st “constitutional carry” state, though two weeks ago, after the House passed the measure, there was serious doubt whether it would pass the Senate. During the debate, dozens of amendments were proposed, either watering down the bill or designed simply to delay the vote.
The final bill now contains more punishments for felons found with a weapon, including domestic violence offenders, and those carrying while intoxicated.
Upon learning that the Texas Senate had passed the bill, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick celebrated:

In comments made to Fox News hosts just ahead of his interview with them on Tuesday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said this about Liz Cheney: “I think she’s got real problems. I’ve had it with her. You know, I’ve lost confidence.”
McCarthy expanded on Cheney’s problems when the show went live: “I have heard from [Republican] members [who are] concerned about her ability to carry out her job as conference chair, to carry out the message. We all need to be working as one if we’re able to win the majority [in 2022].”
According to Cheney, it’s all about “unity,” but only as defined by her. As The New American reported, Cheney has said:

The FBI conducted more than 3.5 million gun-related background checks in April, an increase of more than 20 percent during the same month last year. For 16 months in a row, that upward trend has not abated, with the FBI continuing to process a record-setting number of background checks.
Nearly 1.7 million of the applications in April were directly related to the purchase of firearms, also a record, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). Records indicate these are first-time buyers from a range of backgrounds: young, old, black, Asian, Latino, Republicans, and Democrats. When it comes to fear driving the need for a means of self-defense, ideology means nothing. More remarkable is the number of black women seeking to purchase their first firearm.
Even anti-gun NPR (National Public Radio) was forced to admit that

The melt-up in stock prices — increasingly being driven by the stampede of new investors operating out of fear of missing out (FOMO) — is breathtaking. The most commonly used indicator, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, has jumped more than 80 percent since its low last March.
Stockholdings among U.S. households have increased to 41 percent of their total financial assets in April, the highest level in history going back to 1952.
The rebound from the pandemic lows is historic:
