Take The Biden Quiz
Author and former Fox News host, Bill O’Reilly, has a revealing quiz he has created and shared on his website and in radio interviews. The quiz is rather persuasive for the average non-political person, independent, or swing voter who may have voted for Joe
Biden because they didn’t like Donald Trump.
Here is his simple, but revealing 10-question quiz. Answer “Yes” or “No” in your mind. Each question starts with:
“Does it make sense . . .?"
1. Does it make sense to allow millions of foreign nationals to enter the USA unsupervised? (Yes or No)
2. Does it make sense to abandon Afghanistan completely, leading to human rights abuses by the
Taliban?
3. Does it make sense to shut down the Keystone Pipeline and then turn around and ask Saudi Arabia to expand oil sales?
4. Does it make sense to support teaching Critical Race Theory in schools that divides children based on skin color?
5. Does it make sense for the federal government to spend so much money that inflation explodes?
6. Does it make sense to support no bail laws that allow criminals to commit more crimes?
7. Does it make sense to be one of only 7 countries in the world that allow unrestricted abortions?
8. Does it make sense to oppose requiring an ID to vote?
9. Does it make sense to say that white supremacists are a larger threat to the US than Jihadists?
10 Does it make sense for a President of the United State to accuse his own country of systemic racism?

Governor Loses Early Battle Over Executive Powers
A court has ruled that the Indiana General Assembly can call a legislative session if the governor declares a statewide emergency. This is another step in the debate between Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb and Indiana's GOP-dominated Legislature.
The Marion Superior Court upheld House Bill 1123, which passed this spring after Holcomb’s veto and the legislature voted to override it.
The new law arose after criticism from conservatives about mask mandates and other COVID-19-related restrictions Holcomb imposed by repeated executive orders.
Governor Holcomb sued to stop the law, claiming only the governor can call a special session. In its ruling, the court said the Legislature had the authority to schedule its sessions. Some think that the Governor may appeal this ruling to a higher court.
Concerned Parents Are Not Terrorists
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has joined with 16 other state attorneys general in sending a letter to the President and US Attorney General Merrick Garland about the administration threatening parents who speak up at school board meetings.
“Hoosier parents have a First Amendment right to speak their minds to teachers, administrators, and school board members,” Attorney General Rokita said. “That’s why I’m demanding that the Biden administration immediately stop attempting to shut
down parental participation through scare tactics and intimidation.”
Garland has called for the FBI and other federal law enforcement agents to fan out across the United States and monitor activities in the nation’s school districts to suppress what they deem unruly behavior. The Department of Justice is working with the National School Board Association, which has labeled parents who raise concerns about Critical Race Theory and the radical sexualization of children as "domestic terrorists."
“Concerned parents passionate about their kids’ education are not terrorists,” Attorney General Rokita said. “The Biden administration and its special-interest allies need to dial down the rhetoric and respect the rights of parents to be heard.”
Hoosier Gets Kudos for Presidential Appointment
Indiana Senator Todd Young recently congratulated former Senator Joe Donnelly for his nomination by the Biden Admin to be US Ambassador to the Vatican. Young noted that Donnelly (D) is a “devout Catholic and longtime public servant, and I know he will serve our nation well and represent the best of our Hoosier values.”
I am not knocking Senator Young for this kind gesture. It is nice when a Hoosier leader gets presidential recognition, but let’s be blunt for a moment. Moderate Democrats are like UFO’s . . . we hear a lot about them, but never seem to really see one. Former Senator Joe Donnelly was a pro-abortion, pro-same-sex marriage, pro-LGBT agenda, anti-school choice legislator. These are all major moral matters in conflict with the Catholic church.
For example, Donnelly went from being somewhat pro-life as a congressman to being flat-out pro-abortion later as a Senator. He moved farther from his faith on this core issue the longer he was in Washington, going from a 0% voting record with abortion advocates to an 80% pro-abortion voting record in just a few years.
I doubt that the Vatican is surprised by this, as President Biden, also considered a “devout Catholic,” is against his church on these moral issues.
Has Covid Vaccination Peaked in Indiana?
Last week, in an email I said that 70% of Americans are vaccinated for Covid-19 when I mentioned that more people have died from Covid under Joe Biden than Donald Trump, even though Covid likely played a big role in Trump’s election loss. While I saw this stat in a headline (President Biden announced 70% in early August), it may be inflated.
What about Hoosiers? Are we just over all this, and ready to move on? Do we question the effectiveness of the shot?
Perhaps. Indiana seems to be trailing behind the national average. Hoosiers rank 14th lowest in the country with 49% of all residents fully vaccinated for Covid, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The national rate average for full
vaccination is at 56.4% according to the CDC.
The state health department’s tracking shows Indiana giving about 6,000 shots a day through last week, the lowest rate since December. Indiana peaked averaging more than 50,000 shots a day in April as the COVID-19 vaccines became widely available. It is unknown how many Hoosiers have natural immunity after having had Covid.
