'I'M COMFORTABLE WITH ZERO': Manchin to Sanders on size of Democrats' Build Back Better bill.

OH, BUT IT IS; it just wasn't supposed to be made public: "It’s Not Our Job to Sell Your Agenda for You!"

HEH: "Our political class is addicted to shaming. It was better when they were just a bunch of drunks."

TO BUILD STRONGER FAMILIES, reframe the fight over Mayor Pete's parental leave.

Recently, the media disclosed that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took two months of parental leave following the adoption of twins.... To defend his absence, the left and Democrats had to loudly declare the importance of parents spending time with their children. They had to advocate for families spending time together and note the importance of parent-child bonds.

Agree with them wholeheartedly on these points. Then challenge them on the very policies they have pushed for years that discourage family formation by extending adolescence, making housing more expensive, and deemphasizing the role of fathers. It is time for conservatives to change the strategy of screaming “Stop” while standing athwart history and say [instead], “No, we’re not doing that. We are doing something completely different.”

Then turn the fight to policies that encourage, not discourage, strong families.

And be sure to tell the Progressives that their Social Security (and welfare) payments will
depend on them.
