President Joe Biden says if you are cold and looking for some economic relief, then you just need to spend thousands on retrofitting your home with energy-efficient windows.

Oh, what’s that? You’re saying rent an apartment? Even if you are a homeowner, you’re saying you can barely afford groceries, let alone home upgrades?

Well, Biden doesn’t really care about those concerns. He signed the Inflation Reduction Act and one of the key ways you can save — according to the Democrats — is to take advantage of lucrative tax incentives that require you to spend big chunks of money in the name of climate change.

After bragging about a few different tax rebates offered, Biden told Americans, “If you’re living in a home with drafty windows and doors, starting January 1, you’ll be able to save up to $1,100 on the cost of replacing them. And that’s just on the upgrade.”

The president, the son of a used car salesman, went on to sound exactly like a used car salesman.

“And that’s not all,” he continued. “If you want to install solar panels on your roof, you can get a tax credit for 30 percent of the cost. It’ll bring down the cost of installation by about $7,500.”

How exactly will that help you in the long run?

“And when you get to keep saving money on your electric bills for the remainder of the year, it’s about $300 a year on average,” he noted.

As The Daily Wire has documented, Biden isn’t the only one in his administration constantly bragging about this great economic relief. His energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is big on this stuff, too.

We’ve done it before, but let’s again estimate the costs of a few of the Biden administration’s suggested home “improvements”:

The average energy-efficient window pane costs anywhere from $325 to $1,110, according to Modernize, a home services website. That price range is per window — not for the entire home. Using those figures, on the lowest end of the spectrum, if you had four windows in your home, you’d need to spend at least $1,300 before any labor or delivery costs are even calculated into it. If you did that, you would get a $390 tax credit.

[…]

Looking at Granholm’s home state of Michigan, the average solar-panel system costs roughly $16,020 — pre-federal incentives — according to Consumer Affairs. Again, with a 30% tax credit, you’d receive $4,806.00 back if you spent that kind of moolah.

So, if you’re somebody who lives in a four-window home and wants to purchase a basic solar-panel system and buy some efficient windows – you’ll need to spend $17,320 to “save” $5,196.00. Of course, four-window homes are hard to come by, and if they do exist, it is doubtful that their occupants can afford to spend that kind of money.

So, it is all nonsense. Spend thousands to save hundreds. But, first, you need to buy a home.

Thirty-five percent of Americans rent, many are bleeding through their savings and living paycheck-to-paycheck, and inflation is still sky-high.

But hey, Biden says “there’s a strong sense from all the leaders of the world of the strength of the American economy” — so we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.

Megyn Kelly spoke to her husband, novelist Doug Brunt, on the latest episode of her podcast and revealed why their first kiss did not go as planned.

During Sirius XM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast on Thursday, the host discussed the awkwardness that she and her husband of 15 years experienced when they started dating due to the presence of her security detail.

“When we first started dating, is when I had that terrible stalking problem in my life,” Kelly shared. “And literally, on our first date … well, tell them. Tell them what happened.”

“I can’t remember if it was Cougar or Viper, but your friends had named the security guards and gave them code names,” Brunt shared. “So we were chaperoned like a couple of high school sophomores going to the prom … but anyways, our first kiss was also in front of security — which is hard to do.”

The former Fox News host agreed, explaining that her security members “approved of” Doug, and said “otherwise, it wouldn’t have worked out” because she “trusted their opinions.”

“But after that first kiss, I did not do well, audience,” Kelly admitted. “I did not. I was embarrassed, Cougar and Viper were watching us. And it was just awkward AF [as f***], as the kids say. And so the next day, when we went back to pick up Doug at his hotel, I said to Cougar and Viper, ‘You stay where you are. I got something I need to do.’”

“So I went into the hotel,” she added. “I pressed the buzzer on Doug’s door and he’s looking for the security … I’m like, ‘I can do better. That was not my best effort last night.’ And of course Doug was like, ‘right this way.’”

Kelly kept the details quiet about how that second kiss went, but said simply, “and things went from there.”

“It was a crazy beginning and we did get married, it was a whirlwind romance. I was mesmerized by you and remain mesmerized by you,” the host shared.

“There’s a journal entry that I kept at the time that has a picture of you … I wrote something to the effect of, ‘Is it possible that this guy loves me and isn’t a serial killer? … there’s got to be a shoe to drop here because he’s too good,’ and now I’m happy to say 15 years of marriage later, it’s not fake, you’re real, you’re just as awesome as I always knew you were …” she added.

Kelly and Brunt tied the knot in 2008, and share three children.
