The topline number in the new infrastructure "deal" looks like a win for Republicans: $1 trillion instead of $2.3 trillion.
BUT then Biden says that he won't sign it (???) unless he gets all kinds of other spending through reconciliation, i.e. despite any and all Republican opposition (and Manchin is on board with his party on this one, because $$$).
So... that's not really a deal, is it? It's a "pig in a poke" -- an agreement to accept whatever Democrats shove down the country's throat?
To quote David Harsanyi: "Why would Republicans support a slimmed down infrastructure bill if the rest of it will be crammed through via reconciliation?"

Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.

- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
