Kamala’s communist plan to fix inflation

Kamala Harris received bi-partisan criticism after proposing communist-style price controls on grocery store prices to combat the inflation that she helped create.

Back up: For weeks, Harris has been criticized for not releasing any specific policy proposals. Her campaign website notably does not have a ‘policy’ page.

The details: Harris finally outlined pieces of her economic agenda while speaking to supporters in North Carolina on Friday, with mandatory price controls on private grocery stores as the centerpiece.

• Harris claims “bad actors” who own grocery stores are “price gouging” and vowed to "work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food."

• Reality check: U.S. grocery stores operate on extremely thin profit margins, usually between 1% and 3%.

What does history tell us? When the Soviet Union tried price controls in the 1970s and Venezuela in the 2010s, both experiments ended the same: food shortages, producers going out of business, and economic decline.

Liberal media slams Harris: This policy was even too radical for the ultra-left Washington Post, who lambasted Harris, writing: “When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls?”

Zoom out: Grocery prices have increased 22% since Kamala took office. Birazely, in her speech on Friday, she reminded the audience that when Trump was president, ground beef and a loaf of bread were both 50% cheaper.

Other proposals: In her North Carolina speech, Harris also proposed a $6,000 tax credit for families in their child’s first year and a $25,000 handout to first-time homebuyers.

Price tag: Economists estimate these new economic proposals would cost American taxpayers more than $1.7 trillion.

How will she pay for it? When confronted by reporters on her expensive proposals, Harris gave a word-salad response:

• "The return on that investment, in terms of what that will do and what it will pay for, will be tremendous... I think it's a mistake for any person who talks about public policy to not critically evaluate how you measure the return on investment."

• …isn’t it incredible how someone can say so little while saying so much?

The last word goes to Donald Trump, who slammed the policy proposal, saying: "Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls. You saw that? Never worked before… It will cause rationing, hunger and skyrocketing prices.”

Supreme Court stops Biden and Kamala from letting boys into girls’ bathrooms

The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) blocked Joe Biden and Kamala Harris from implementing their new Title IX rules that would have allowed boys into girls’ bathrooms and more.

Back up: Biden and Harris tried to expand Title IX's definition of "sex" to include “sexual orientation” and "gender identity." The change would have allowed trans-identifying biological boys into girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports.

The details: In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS temporarily blocked the order, siding with lower courts which refused to allow the Biden-Harris regime to implement some parts of the rule while the “gender ideology” and “sexual orientation” portions are litigated.

• Justice Neil Gorsuch joined the three liberals in the dissent.

What is Title IX? It was enacted in 1972 to prohibit sex-based discrimination in education programs that receive federal funding.

Where does Trump stand on this? During a recent TPUSA event, he promised: "On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto our children… And I will keep men out of women’s sports!”

Big picture: This isn’t the final word. SCOTUS’ ruling only blocks the order while the case is still working its way through the lower courts. But it’s a small win that prevents Joe and Kamala’s radical gender ideology for the time being. And if Trump wins in November, he can rescind it entirely.
