Power-creep through states of emergency declarations is a problem. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered many largely unprecedented government actions. These are actions by which officials at all levels grasp for temporary powers. The result is some potentially explosive pandemic politics.
Sweden is not a socialist country, but its soft quasi-socialism central planning has long had the American left pining. Let’s do that here! Just ask Bernie of the Bros any question, and they’ll find a way to get Sweden into the conversation. But the American left is mad at Sweden because of its response to …

Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy just dropped a bomb. He claims that Speaker Pelosi had a bill that would add funding to help fight the Coronavirus but instead of taking it to the floor for a vote, she held it until this week. Why? So the DCCC could run ads against Republicans.
The Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) is a regional gas tax set by unelected bureaucrats. It claims that killing local economies and pinching pocketbooks to fund more failed government interventions will reduce emissions. I have a better idea.
