They didn’t get the minimum wage increase approved, but Dems have other ways around that.
It’s taken a while, but the $1.9 trillion stimulus package was finally passed by the House on in the early hours of Feb. 27, although it now goes to the Senate for approval before being placed on President Joe Biden’s desk to sign. More likely, it will go from the Senate back to the House. As with previous relief bills, the Democrats tried to insert items that really have nothing to do with providing pandemic relief to the nation and everything to do with trying to push their agenda through by any means necessary.
However, it was a great disappointment to the left that the $15-per-hour national minimum wage raise was nixed by the Senate parliamentarian, so the Dems have come up with another plan to implement this goal: fine and tax companies that don’t pay their employees the required amount.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
