More Fear Budget Bill Will Just Add Crushing Debt

/0 Comments/in , /by

The drawn-out negotiations over President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act are giving fiscal hawks more time to build the case that it will just add to the nation’s oppressive $37 trillion debt, a potential threat to passage.

While the administration and GOP leaders have been making the case that the tax and spending legislation will lower the debt, an overwhelming 84% of likely voters said that they are concerned about the national debt.

And, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Washington Secrets on Wednesday, voters by a 2:1 margin believe that the bill will simply add to that debt.

The bill was passed by House Republicans and is in front of the Senate. Republican leaders hope to pass it out of the chamber by July 4, when House and Senate negotiators would meld one bill.

But the delay in pushing it through is providing time for foes to point out the potential for a debt explosion if many of the spending provisions make it through the grinder. (Read more from “More Fear Budget Bill Will Just Add Crushing Debt” HERE)

Ben & Jerry’s Loses an Estimated $2.5 Billion After Leftist July 4 Tweet

/0 Comments/in , /by

Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, lost billions in market cap after the ice cream brand celebrated July 4th with an unpatriotic tweet about American history.

Unilever’s share price went from $52.32 per share to $51.37 per share, erasing an estimated $2.5 billion in market cap as social media users called for a boycott, according to Google finance data. The packaged goods conglomerate saw its market cap drop from roughly $133 billion to $131 billion because its share price decreased. . .

Ben & Jerry’s left-wing activism has made headlines before, especially when the brand announced in July 2021 that it would stop selling ice cream in certain parts of Israel. Nonetheless, the firm has declined to boycott red states over voting and abortion laws, despite the company’s progressive advocacy.

In April 2021, Ben & Jerry’s advocated for defunding the police, a policy supported by Black Lives Matter and other activist groups. The company began calling for police to be defunded in June 2020, at the height of the Black Lives Matter riots that summer.

Violence in Chicago continues to escalate over the long July 4th weekend, with 54 people shot, 7 of them fatally.

The weekend kicked off with 22 people shot, four fatally, within the span of 20 hours on Friday. Violent encounters with police also popped up throughout the weekend, with Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown begging parents to take responsibility over their children.

“There’s no reason why everyone can’t enjoy the holiday and every event safely. Parents, please, please know where your children are,” he said. “Don’t leave them to government to be the parents of your kids. We need you, parents, please, to help us make sure your young people are safe.”

A crowd of protesters in Chicago’s Loop attacked police cars with fireworks and blunt objects after authorities responded to reports of cars doing donuts in an intersection.
