Ron DeSantis’ Failing Campaign is Signaling an End to his Rule in Florida.

Fact Check: Congressman Jim Banks caused the "Egg-Flation"
In the midst of election season, political campaigns often heat up with allegations and claims meant to sway voters. One such accusation gaining attention is the claim by Congressman Jim Banks that his opponent, US Senator Candidate John Rust, is responsible for "Egg-Flation" inflation. In this article, we will fact-check these assertions and examine Congressman Banks' voting record to provide a more comprehensive view of the situation. The "Egg-Flation" Accusation "Egg-Flation" is a term used to describe rising egg prices, which some attribute to broader inflationary trends. Congressman Jim Banks has made the assertion that John Rust, his opponent, is to blame for these inflationary pressures, a claim that has raised eyebrows among voters. Let's delve into the facts surrounding this allegation. Jim Banks' Voting Record 1. **CARES Act Under Trump**: It is accurate that Congressman Jim Banks voted in favor of the CARES Act during the Trump administration. This legislation aimed to provide federal funding, including stimulus checks, to Americans and businesses in response to the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to note, however, that attributing inflation solely to this act oversimplifies a complex economic issue. 2. ** American Rescue Plan Act**: Congressman Banks also voted against the American Rescue Plan Act, which was passed during the Biden administration and provided additional economic relief, including stimulus checks and enhanced unemployment benefits. Again, while this vote is part of Congressman Banks' record, it is only one piece of a much larger economic puzzle. The Political Context During election campaigns, accusations and counter-accusations are not unusual. Accusing an opponent of causing inflation is a tactic that has been used in the political arena for years. In this case, Congressman Banks has framed John Rust an Egg Farmer as responsible for "Egg-Flation." Conclusion In the midst of political campaigns, it is imperative for voters to critically assess the claims and allegations put forth by candidates. Congressman Jim Banks did cast votes related to economic relief packages, pinning the blame for "Egg-Flation" and broader inflation. As responsible voters, it is our duty to consider the broader economic context and make informed decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of the complexities involved. Accusations and counter-accusations are part of the political landscape, but a thoughtful evaluation of the facts is crucial to making informed choices at the ballot box.

Strong Contender Emerges to Be Trump's VP Pick
In an earlier article I talked about Vivek Ramaswamy as being a VP potential target for Former President Trump. If you are interested you can read that here. However, in that article I talked about his Liberal policies and it seems that was true. Former President Trump is headed to South Dakota for a GOP fundraiser today, and sources say that Gov. Kristi Noem is expected to offer her endorsement then for Trump's reelection run— a move that most other Republican governors have been reluctant to make so far. It's also a move that Noem supporters believe might serve as a "vice presidential tryout" of sorts, notes the AP, with "an image of the pair that Noem's allies hope looks like a presidential ticket" as she stands alongside Trump at the "Monumental Leaders Rally" in Rapid City.
