A one-and-done GOP majority?

I’ll admit that, when I watched a snippet of James Comer’s presser about the Hunter Biden investigation, I worried that this might be a one-and-done GOP majority. That’s certainly the opinion of this column. Then again, it’s published by the Seattle Times, one of the most leftist papers in the U.S. But I digress.

After the stock market closed, Larry Kudlow interviewed Kevin McCarthy as his first guest of the show. It didn’t take long for Kudlow and McCarthy to start talking about prosperity through opening the spigot on energy, through reducing crime, which Kudlow characterized as “a prosperity killer.” That’s painfully obvious when you see major corporations hightailing it out of Chicago, New York and Seattle for Miami-Dade County.

It’s apparent that Speaker McCarthy will focus on reducing inflation while growing the U.S. economy. What few liberals know is that McCarthy comes from a small business background. While I don’t doubt that there will be important investigations, I’m confident that the balance of activity in the House will be at least 75% prosperity-focused and 25% investigations.
