Closing the tabs ... before Big Brother closes them for me ...

Just think of it: special laws just for certain colors of people. Legally, the races could live apart. We'd exist in a state of apart-ness. An apart-ness state, to coin a phrase. I think maybe there's a word for that already in some sort of Dutch language, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Neither 2024 Harris nor her campaign has yet to respond to requests for comment, but if she has the dexterity for just one more flip-flop, saying "that's right" to legal apartheid would probably have to be it.

Snark aside, Harris has a worrisome — to put it lightly — tendency to agree with whomever she's speaking with. Whether that's because she has no firm convictions of her own, doesn't know enough to disagree, or simply lacks a spine is immaterial. Because, whatever the reason, it means she lacks the right stuff to serve as the chief of a small business, much less as the president of the United States.

On Wednesday, Harris said she would increase the capital gains tax at a significantly lower rate than what Biden had proposed at a rally in New Hampshire. She would tax investment income at a rate of 28%, compared to Biden’s proposal of taxing capital gains at 39.6% for people who make more than $1 million a year. This stance is a reversal from her support for the tax increases proposed in the White House’s budget earlier this year.

She also said she wants a tenfold expansion of the small business tax deduction for startup expenses from $5,000 to $50,000. She also set a goal of 25 million new small business applications in her first four years in office.

Her move away from the White House’s budget is a signal she is working to appeal to middle-class voters as Republicans work to tie her to Biden’s economic legacy.

Ed: Hasn't she been Vice President for almost four years?

Ed: WTH?

The stratospheric rise in food prices in the past three years has forced many families to forgo groceries they used to enjoy in exchange for cheaper alternatives.

This change in consumer behavior is emblematic of the painful decisions American families must make in the Biden-Harris economy. Disturbingly, nationwide data is even showing the resurgence of an economic phenomenon made infamous in the 19th-century Irish potato famine.

Ed: Seemed like a mistake from the moment Harris announced it. And it was, at least in opportunity cost.
