Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

I moved to Texas 31 years ago today. I'm 62 years old, so I've lived half my life in Texas.

To the editor:

Yet again, the Los Angeles Times gets it wrong regarding Gov. Newsom’s decision to sign Senate Bill 27.

SB 27 has been interpreted as constitutional by some of our nation’s foremost constitutional lawyers, including Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law. The challenges to the law are motivated by partisanship and the desire to shield Donald Trump from any accountability for his conflicts of interest, violations of the Emoluments Clause, and other crimes that he has possibly committed.

Instead of echoing Republican talking points, the Los Angeles Times should be supporting the utilization of every possible legal tool in order to hold this lawless administration accountable.

Note from KBJ: Has Erwin Chemerinsky been right about any legal issue in the past several years? He is a partisan political hack, not a dispassionate legal analyst. If Chemerinsky says that provision X is constitutional, there is a very good chance that it is unconstitutional; and if he says that X is unconstitutional, there is a very good chance that it is constitutional.

Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued. My victory was even bigger than thought! @JudicialWatch

President Trump’s repeated statements that tariffs are not paid by Americans and that the cost of American imports has not risen, are blatantly false. Tariffs are paid by the importer, not the exporter. When the importer sells those goods here, the price is either increased to cover the cost of the tariffs or it is absorbed, in whole or in part, thereby reducing that seller’s profits.

China has placed a tariff on our agricultural products. It also has banned the importation of American agricultural products.

Our government is giving $13 billion in grants to farmers to help offset their inability to export their products. But we’re saying China is paying that money. This also obviously false. We are paying that aid out of our tax dollars.

It’s apparent Trump did not do too well in his economics studies at Wharton.

Note from KBJ: Don't project your economic ignorance onto President Trump, Penn.

Our economy is the best in the world, by far. Lowest unemployment ever within almost all categories. Poised for big growth after trade deals are completed. Import prices down, China eating Tariffs. Helping targeted Farmers from big Tariff money coming in. Great future for USA!
