The integrity of elections serves as a cornerstone of a thriving democracy, and Democrats will do everything in their power to skew that truth. What are the American people supposed to think when they’re spoon-fed lies about the safety and security of our electoral process? Given that Nancy Pelosi is now selling a deranged conspiracy theory that President Trump and Republicans are working to subvert the election, this question remains in the forefront of the conversation. We live in a time where media soundbites reign supreme, where the truth is replaced by radical talking points, and where the American people are left scratching their heads as to what they should believe. It’s no secret that Nancy Pelosi has long been the torchbearer for this kind of disinformation, and she’s leaned on fear more than she has the facts. It’s time to bring to light what the media fails to tell you about the Post Office and where Republicans stand on this issue.

It’s true that the United States Postal Service has a long history, and at the same time it also has a rap sheet that raises both eyebrows and questions. Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat colleagues are quick to jump on the offensive and claim that the USPS is in dire need of funding, but when it comes to supporting their argument, they cherry-pick the facts. That tells you all you need to know about their narrative. In a 2019 analysis released by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), it was reported that the USPS has lost over $69 billion in revenue over the past 11 years – an average of just over $6 billion per year. Plus, its overall employee benefits constitute close to 80 percent of their overall operating costs. Even when Congress asked for a detailed plan from the USPS that outlines projected costs and expenditures, it was never provided.

You can see that the Democrat narrative is unraveling, but the facts aren’t all out in the open. When Congress passed the CARES Act earlier this year, it allocated over $10 billion to support the USPS and that funding would effectively sustain its operations until 2021. So why is Nancy Pelosi calling members of Congress back on Saturday to pass an additional $25 billion in funding when the USPS was already given a cash infusion? She’s more interested in developing talking points than she is about reforming the USPS so it effectively serves the American people. Throwing money at the USPS won’t solve its inefficiencies, and if anything, it will only exacerbate its existing problems.

Every day, the Democrat narrative shifts a few degrees closer to the extreme and baseless conspiracy theories materialize out of thin air. The USPS had problems long before President Trump was elected, and the assertion that he is spearheading an effort to dismantle it is absurd. When the bi-partisan USPS Board of Governors unanimously selected Postmaster General DeJoy on May 6^th, they chose someone who would lead the USPS in the right direction and correct the issues that have plagued it for over a decade. Is reforming the USPS a coordinated campaign to rig an election, or is it an effort to improve a service that millions of Americans use every week? Despite what Democrats are spouting off, it’s the latter.

Bad Bill of The Week

There’s a common misconception that when Congress is “out of session” there is no new legislation is introduced in either the House of Representatives or the United States Senate. In fact, every day, new bills are introduced in both chambers, and the mainstream media does not cover them all. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to share with you some pieces of legislation that fly under the radar of the mainstream media and give you my thoughts. This week, we’re going to focus on the Racial and Economic Equity Act that was introduced in early August by Elizabeth Warren, Maxine Waters, and Kristen Gilibrand. This legislation would mandate the Federal Reserve to enforce workforce quotas throughout the entire economic system within the United States.

Under this legislation, the Federal Reserve would be responsible for creating policies that “minimize and eliminate” racial disparities in employment, wages, and health. The Federal Reserve would also have to prevent disparities in “access to affordable credit”. Is this a novel solution that will improve oversight of interest rates, inflation, or even the supply of capital in the United States? Not even close. If anything, it will prop up an ill-advised agenda that centralizes power over our economy and suppresses free market innovation.

The Federal Reserve was not created to carry the mantle for social justice issues, but rather to provide the United States with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. The calculus of this legislation is concerning, and it would ultimately lead to the dissolution of the checks and balances system of Congress and the Executive Branch. Yet again, the Democrats have reached into their partisan policy grab-bag and are now peddling legislation that serves their own interests rather than those of the American people. They claim they want to “take our country back”, and it’s clear that they’ll explore even the most radical of avenues to do so.
