Baseball is an American family tradition. Saying I have a love of the game would be an understatement, and, I may or may not parent my five children with baseball analogies.
For those whose love of the game isn’t as strong as mine – I think you would still resonate with the lessons of persistence and patience the game teaches us. A batter with a season average of .300 is considered an excellent batter. For every 50 swings of a bat, if a player makes contact just 15 times, they’re among the nation’s best.
Batting takes muscle memory and trust in your own abilities. Babe Ruth once said, “Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.” But every game has an end, and every game has a clear winner and loser. It’s time President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris learn the rules of baseball – three strikes, and you’re out.
Bidenomics is not working for the average American consumer. Under the Biden/Harris administration, our country is at the highest level of indebtedness in history, inflation has soared nearly 20 percent and the American dream has grown increasingly out of touch for millions of people. We’re spending more at the grocery store and gas pump, and we cannot afford these policies to continue. Strike one.
Biden’s war on American energy independence and his unprecedented assault on our nation’s ability to produce energy by shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline is killing high-paying American jobs and raising utility bills. The moratorium on oil and gas production on federal lands, draining U.S. oil reserves is the opposite of American independence, prosperity, and progress. Strike two.
Biden’s FTC is suffocating American innovation and entrepreneurship. The Biden Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence is too confusing, too broad and stifles innovation. Biden’s politicized antitrust agenda, embraced by the likes of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Kamala’s V.P. pick wastes taxpayer resources and collusion with foreign regulators undermines American companies. Strike three.
President Trump will slash regulations, cut taxes, champion innovation, and lower costs for American consumers. The 2:1 rule will cut national spending by putting regulators on a budget. President Trump would require agencies to revoke two regulations for every new rule they want to issue, mirroring what Governor Lombardo did in Nevada through an Executive Order, halting additional regulations.
Middle-class and working-class families under President Trump would be better off. The tax cuts President Trump made provided substantial relief to all Americans, including small businesses. Real median household income rose by $5,000 and wages went up by nearly 5 percent. Americans earning under $100,000 saw an average tax cut of 16 percent. Failure to extend these tax cuts would jeopardize the financial security of working-class households and leave disastrous impacts on our overall economy.
President Trump would protect U.S. tech companies from unfair global competition, challenge foreign regulations targeting American firms, and repeal Biden’s dangerous Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence. President Trump would continue to champion innovation by prioritizing American-made technology and fast-track approvals for breakthrough technologies in sectors we need it the most – like energy, healthcare, and mining.
President Trump would ensure reliable and abundant low-cost energy. President Trump would expand oil and natural gas production on federal lands, streamline permitting for new energy infrastructure projects, and invest in next-generation energy technologies like nuclear.
Most Nevada voters say Biden’s approach has prioritized progressive policy over American and consumer interests, hurting small businesses in this state[1]. President Biden’s policies, and the ones Kamala is trying to distance herself from, are not working for most Americans.
Sixty percent of Nevadans disapprove of the Biden administration’s handling of antitrust and consumer welfare issues[2]. Because the anti-consumer, anti-business agenda has me wishing/hoping this season is over. It’s time to take him out of the game.
