Biden Reportedly Has No Plans To Address Inflation With Policy Changes Before Election

President Joe Biden reportedly has no plans to address inflation with policy changes ahead of the 2024 election, officials told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

The issue of inflation and how the Biden administration will address it has resurfaced after the consumer-price index (CPI) increased to 3.5% in March, a figure that is higher than what was anticipated, according to the WSJ. While the White House issued a statement touting how the administration has done “more to do to lower costs for hardworking families,” the president and his aides are reportedly not planning to make any policy changes to address the rising issue, officials told the WSJ.

Instead, the White House is reportedly planning to continue to tout the president’s efforts to lower prescription drug prices and house costs, the WSJ reported.

“Our agenda to lower costs on behalf of working families is as urgent today as it was yesterday,” Jared Bernstein, the chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told the WSJ. “We’re just going to keep our heads down and continue fighting to lower costs.”

As the 2024 presidential election inches closer, the president and his allies have abandoned the use of “Bidenomics,” the branding coined to promote Biden’s economic policies, according to an Axios analysis. The president has not used the term “Bidenomics” since Jan. 25 aside from a speech he gave in North Carolina in March, Axios reported.

Democrats and other allies of the president reportedly once urged the White House to tone down its use of the term, with some fearing that the branding wasn’t hitting with the American people, Politico reported.

“With all due respect to the president, to the White House, this is not so much about them as it is the people who are benefiting by the policies that they came out and demanded,” Democratic Nevada Rep. Steven Horsford told the outlet. “We have to do a better job framing this not so much for one person — for the office of the presidency — but for the people.”

The White House reportedly was shown data on how the American people received the term, according to Politico in 2023.

“I don’t like it, either,” Democratic South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, previously said about the use of “Bidenomics.”

The president’s former chief of staff Robert Klain reportedly voiced his frustrations with the White House communication strategy, according to audio exclusively obtained by Politico. Klain reportedly argued that the president needed to spend less time focusing on infrastructure projects and more time talking about the economy, Politico reported.

“I think the president is out there too much talking about bridges,” Klain said, according to Politico. “He does two or three events a week where he’s cutting a ribbon on a bridge. And here’s a bridge. Like, I tell you, if you go into the grocery store, you go to the grocery store and, you know, eggs and milk are expensive, the fact that there’s a fucking bridge is not [inaudible].”

Klain then added that he thought there was some benefit to touting infrastructure projects, though he was generally skeptical.

“He’s not a congressman. He’s not running for Congress,” said Klain. “I think it’s kind of a fool’s errand. I think that [it] also doesn’t get covered that much because, look, it’s a fucking bridge. Like it’s a bridge, and how interesting is the bridge? It’s a little interesting but it’s not a lot interesting.”

Prices Edge Even Higher As Fed Chair Speculates If Inflation Is Really Under Control thumbnail

Prices Edge Even Higher As Fed Chair Speculates If Inflation Is Really Under Control

/in , , , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

Inflation jumped year-over-year in March amid speculation over whether the rate of inflation is really decelerating, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics release on Wednesday.

The consumer price index (CPI), a broad measure of the price of everyday goods, increased 3.5% on an annual basis in March and 0.4% month-over-month, compared to 3.2% in February year-over-year, according to the BLS. Core CPI, which excludes the volatile categories of energy and food, remained high, rising 3.8% year-over-year in March, compared to 3.8% in February.

“Indexes like the median CPI and trimmed-mean CPI remove outliers and they show inflation much higher than the headline, or even the core, inflation rates,” E.J. Antoni, a research fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “That tells us the rise in prices is widespread and not simply one or two volatile components jumping for a few months. We’re facing persistently high inflation — period.”

March’s report marks the second month in a row that the annual rate of inflation has increased.

The series of recent high reports adds more speculation as to whether inflation is moving towards the Fed’s target of 2%, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell saying on April 3 that it was too soon to tell whether recent upticks in inflation were more than temporary fluctuations, indicating that high inflation could be around longer than expected, according to The Hill. The Fed has placed its federal funds rate in a range of 5.25% and 5.50% in an attempt to bring inflation down to 2% year-over-year.

Inflation peaked at 9% in June 2022, rising from around 1.4% year-over-year in January 2021, when President Joe Biden first took office, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Since its peak under Biden, the rate of inflation has not declined below 3%.

— E.J. Antoni, Ph.D. (@RealEJAntoni) April 9, 2024

The Fed’s next rate decision is expected to be announced at the conclusion of the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting on May 1, with investors nearly unanimous that the Fed will not cut rates, according to the FedWatch tool from the CME Group.

“The FYTD deficit is an annualized $2.8 trillion, much higher than estimates by the Treasury, CBO, or OMB,” Antoni told the DCNF. “To pay for these unfunded bills, the Federal Reserve has allowed bank reserves to climb more than 20% from their trough last year, which is fueling inflation by growing the money supply. Rate cuts should be off the table, the balance sheet runoff should be accelerated, and interest rates should be allowed to float higher, instead of being set at today’s artificially low level.”

The high rate of inflation comes in tandem with continued above-trend economic growth, which measured 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 4.9% in the third quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Biden Admin. Shields Federal Employees from Possible Trump Presidency thumbnail

Biden Admin. Shields Federal Employees from Possible Trump Presidency

/in , , , , , , /by

By Family Research Council

On Thursday, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a new rule, to be added to the Federal Register on April 9 and to go into effect next month, that would shield executive branch federal government employees from being terminated for opposing a president’s policies or agenda. The OPM’s as-yet-unpublished rule change stipulates that certain policy-making federal employees are protected from most forms of employment termination, regardless of who is president.

In comments to The Washington Stand, Family Research Council’s Senior Director of Government Affairs Quena González explained, “The Biden rule undermines the authority of the American people to choose their government by tying the hands of an elected president. The process to repeal the rule should begin on day one of the next administration, and Congress should act to make sure this can never happen again.” He added, “America does not need a permanent ruling class of unelected elites in Washington who are not subject to electoral accountability. We inherited, and should fight to defend, government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”

In late 2020, then-President Donald Trump issued an executive order creating a new designation, “Schedule F,” for federal employees, allowing the president and his administration to fire policy-making and policy-influencing federal employees who oppose, resist, or reject the policy initiatives of the duly-elected president. “Faithful execution of the law requires that the President have appropriate management oversight regarding this select cadre of professionals,” the executive order stated. “Except as required by statute, the Civil Service Rules and Regulations shall not apply to removals from positions listed in Schedules A, C, D, E, or F…”

Upon taking office a few months later, President Joe Biden repealed that executive order. The new OPM rule goes even further and specifies that only political appointees are to be classified as policy-making executive branch employees, effectively safeguarding career bureaucrats from termination, despite their policy-making and policy-influencing roles. The new rule also clarifies that “protections” “accrued” by employees cannot be “taken away by an involuntary move” from one employment classification or schedule to another, protecting those that the Biden administration has entrenched in the federal government from a possible Trump presidency.

In a written statement, OPM Director Kiran Ahuja said, “This final rule honors our 2.2 million career civil servants, helping ensure that people are hired and fired based on merit and that they can carry out their duties based on their expertise and not political loyalty.” White House Office of Management and Budget Deputy Director for Management Jason Miller added, “The Biden-Harris Administration knows that career civil servants are the backbone of the federal workforce and should be able to provide the expertise and experience necessary for the critical functioning of the federal government.”

“As a former federal agency employee, I was explicitly told that if hired I would serve ultimately at the pleasure of the American people. I carried that charge with me to work every day for three and a half years, and it remains true no matter who the people elect,” González stated. “Federal service is a privilege, not an entitlement. … This rule undermines presidential elections.”

The Biden administration’s rule change comes as numerous polls predict a Trump victory and Biden loss in November. FRC Action Director Matt Carpenter told TWS, “There’s only one way to interpret this move from the Biden White House: They are not confident in the president’s reelection chances.” He added, “In the final months of his first term, President Biden is looking to preempt a possible return of Trump and his Schedule F. This is not the move an administration makes when they’re confident they will get another chance to write rules that apply to federal employees.”

The Uni-Party Socialist Congress returns to work April 9th 2024. Conservatives must fire House Speaker Mike Johnson! thumbnail

The Uni-Party Socialist Congress returns to work April 9th 2024. Conservatives must fire House Speaker Mike Johnson!

/in , , , , /by

By Geoff Ross

The do nothing socialist Republican Party return to the Washington swamp on Tuesday April 9th, 2024 to continue their symbiotic traitorous relationship with their Communist Democrat pals.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) the poster child for the Democrat Communist Party will once again prepare legislation to print more money and or borrow money from Communist China to fund the corrupt government of Ukraine.

The majority of the House of Representatives ran by fraud republicans will continue to protect the borders of Ukraine while totally ignoring the borders of our constitutional republic allowing Biden to continue his invasion foreign nationals into the United States.

On Friday April 12th, 2024 the fraud republicans will also no doubt reauthorize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) before its April 19th 2024 deadline.

This will allow the U.S. government to continue spying on American citizens in gross violation of our 4th Amendment rights using AT&T equipment and assistance in secret data collection buildings all over the USA.

A skyscraper in New York City 500 feet tall, with 29 stories and no windows and no lights located at 33 Thomas Street is one of many NSA listening posts funded by the Republican controlled congress used to spy on Americans.

Thanks to great American patriot Edward Snowden we would never have learned about this. The entry to this building is identified as an AT&T telecommunications building but what it really is an NSA mass surveillance spy hub. It’s code name is Titanpointe.

This unconstitutional spy hub is funded by the uni party communist/socialist congress so they can read your Emails, listen to your phone calls and collect data on Americans internet web surfing without any oversite. At night you can’t even see the building it disappears onto the darkness.

If you have an AT&T cell phone provider don’t bank on any privacy. General Clapper the former director of the NSA lied to congress repeatedly about his surveillance of Americans. Why is he not in jail?

AT&T was given the code name Luthium in all its contact with the National Security Agency. This building is also just a short walk away from the FBI field office in New York City.

If you are a fan of the US constitution and privacy under the 4th amendment you won’t like what goes on inside this building. The NSA has collected over 150 million phone records in the past on American citizens. There are over 59 NSA spy hubs all over our republic all funded by the Republican led Congress.

This illegal and unconstitutional FISA Act will no doubt be reauthorized by the uniparty socialist / communist congress and Americans will continue to be spied on at the building located at 33 Thomas Street in New York City and at 58 other buildings all over the republic.

Facebook, Google, AT&T all work closely with the NSA and if you still have AT&T and Facebook accounts you have surrendered your freedom as you freely give the US government access to your privacy.

The conservative members of congress in the Republican Party who must suffer the indignity of having an “R” after their name must take action to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) from his leadership position when they return to their 4 hour tax payer funded work weeks and replace him with a real leader and conservative constitutionalist.

Then in November we must return president Trump back to the White House so he can get to work restoring constitutional law. Trump must also grant a full pardon to Mr. Edward Snowden on day one as our president in January 2025.

VIDEO: Texas Steps in, Arrests 214 Migrant Rioters Scheduled for Release by DHS

/in , , , , , , /by

By Federation for American Immigration Reform

Last week, the State of Texas arrested and took custody of 214 migrants who staged a riot at the border near El Paso on March 21. They have now been charged with rioting and are in state custody, where they will be picked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and put into court proceedings.

The riot, which ironically unfolded while a Congressional committee held a hearing on the Biden Administration’s abuse of our immigration laws, indeed appeared to be a literal invasion of illegal aliens. In a matter of minutes, the illegal migrants tore down fencing and stormed past Texas National Guard troops deployed to back up U.S. Border Patrol. Video of riot was captured by a crew from the New York Post, and the following day, it blanketed the airwaves. It captivated audiences, showing the reality of what law enforcement officers face on a daily basis and proving that the chaos and crisis along the nation’s border has not waded.

According to the New York Post, the migrants were initially taken into Border Patrol custody, but then were swiftly processed and scheduled for release, despite the violence, property damage, and assaults perpetrated on National Guard troops. Still, officials were able to gather information about how the riot unfolded. According to the Post:

“While in federal custody, a “cooperating migrant” identified Venezuelan national Gabriel Enrique Angarita Carrasquero, 22, to border agents as an “instigator” among the group that stormed the border…The informant said “he witnessed Angarita Carrasquero use [a] rope to pull the gate down which subsequently led to the migrant rush into the United States bypassing National Guard. The mole also pointed to Venezuelan migrant Juan Jose Colorado Gutierrez, 35, as another “one of the instigators” who used “wire cutters or bolt cutters to cut the barbed wire” on the US side of the border.”

In response, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) stepped in and arrested 214 of the aliens, who were still in federal custody at the El Paso jail, and charged them with rioting. Texas Governor Greg Abbott also reinstalled razor wire and deployed 200 additional National Guard soldiers from the Texas Tactical Border Force along the U.S.-Mexico border to intercept illegal aliens attempting to enter in the El Paso area.

Because the state court set the aliens’ bond hearing for Easter Sunday (March 31), the El Paso District Attorney requested that the hearings be postponed for several days.  However, the local magistrate judge denied the request and ordered 150 of the migrants to be released.

Still, none of the aliens have actually been released from custody.  At the same time, however, not all of the aliens remain in state custody. It appears by the time the magistrate judge ordered the migrants’ release, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had lodged detainers against all of them and assumed custody of the 150 released. In a statement issued to Houston Public Media regarding the migrant rioters, ICE said, it “will lodge an immigration detainer, and once the individual has gone through the judicial process and completed a sentence, or is otherwise released from state or local custody, that individual will be returned to the custody of [Enforcement and Removal Operations] to await a final immigration status determination. Custody status will continue to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as the individuals go through the immigration process.”

Last Wednesday, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) confirmed that all the migrants involved in the March 21 riot were being held until ICE could assume custody of them. It also announced that the state had charged nine of the aliens with felony rioting charges (and of those, seven were in state custody). The migrants hailed from various countries, including Venezuela, Guatemala, Ecuador, Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador.

President Biden and the Secretary of Homeland Security did not provide comment after the rioting. However, White House press secretary Karine Jean Pierre blamed Republicans and Governor Abbott for the chaos, stating, “The razor wire, that’s [Abbott]. The National Guard, that’s him. The Border Patrol agents still did their job. They got in the way, like the governor’s plans got in the way.” She said the House of Representatives has failed to pass the Senate proposal and blamed the Governor for politicizing the issue.

El Paso has been a major crossing point for illegal migrants. In fact, the city’s mayor has issued several disaster declarations in the wake of the current border crisis. The most recent declaration from March 25 stated that “the City is faced with the imminent threat of widespread injury or loss of life resulting from a surge in transient migrants traveling to the region.” In Fiscal Year 2023, the El Paso sector had 482,095 land border encounters and over 174,000 community releases.

These disaster declarations undermine the so-called progress Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claims to have made in the region. In January 2023, Secretary Mayorkas said the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had surged resources in El Paso by deploying 100 additional Border Patrol agents and additional officers to process illegal aliens for entry. He also touted the use of taxpayer dollars to surge emergency food and shelter funding for the area. In fiscal year 2023, several organizations in El Paso received FEMA funding to support the illegal alien population in the area.

Funding provided by Department of Homeland Security to El Paso organizations via the Shelter and Services Program for Fiscal Year 2023. Congress just provided $650 million more for the program in the Fiscal Year 2024 spending bill.

It remains to be seen what will ultimately happen with the El Paso rioters.  ICE has said it will assume custody of all of the illegal aliens involved, but ICE may not deport them. Indeed, it could still release them on bond. Unfortunately, the entire incident sends the message to migrants around the world is that stepping foot on U.S. soil is almost certain to lead to freedom under the Biden Administration. Meanwhile, El Paso and other border communities will continue to bear the brunt of the crisis.

“It’s the economy stupid!” — James Carville

A new website “Biden-Mart” has been launched. It allows visitors to click on twenty-nine everyday items, from apples to zucchini, to see the difference between their costs under Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. and Donald J. Trump.

The Biden-Mart website states, “Putting food on the table has become harder than ever thanks to ‘Bidenomics’. As costs for everyday items continue to rise, American families are struggling more and more to foot the bill.”

Check Biden-Mart out here.

If you click on all of the twenty-nine items you will learn that under Trump the cost was $105.54 and under Biden the cost now is $164.56. That is a 55.92% increase to each and every American citizen.

Get it? Got it? Good!

It’s Tumpomics vs Bidenomics

Remember this when your go to the polls to vote on November 5th, 2024.

White House Shoots Down Mike Johnson’s Plan To Link Ukraine Aid And Liquefied Natural Gas Reversal thumbnail

White House Shoots Down Mike Johnson’s Plan To Link Ukraine Aid And Liquefied Natural Gas Reversal

/in , , , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

The White House said Tuesday that it would not entertain a compromise with Speaker Mike Johnson to connect an aid package for Ukraine with a reversal of the Biden administration’s moratorium on approvals for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals, according to Bloomberg News.

Johnson reportedly suggested that such a compromise could be a workable solution for both parties to take care of high-priority items on their respective agendas, but the White House has made clear that the deal is dead on arrival, according to Bloomberg News. The right flank of the House Republican conference has opposed a new major aid package for Ukraine, while the White House is doubling down on its LNG exports pause after environmentalist groups showered the Biden administration with praise for its Jan. 26 decision on the issue.

“The president has been clear that House Republicans should pass the bipartisan national security agreement that already passed the Senate as soon as possible to get Ukraine the aid it urgently needs to defend itself from Russian tyranny,” the White House said in a statement, according to Bloomberg News. “The president supports the pause on pending, additional approvals of LNG export licenses to evaluate the economic and climate impacts on consumers and communities.”

Could Joe Biden’s Natural Gas Pause Cost Dems The Senate In November?https://t.co/57P0eAOGYJ

— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) February 29, 2024

The Senate passed a $95 billion aid package for aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan in February, but the House has yet to approve the bill and send it to President Joe Biden’s desk. The president has called on House Republicans to pass the foreign aid bill on numerous occasions, including during his State of the Union Address in March.

During a Sunday appearance on Fox News, Johnson intimated that he was thinking about linking the two issues together in a single piece of legislation when the House returns to Washington after its spring recess.

Johnson reportedly floated the idea to connect Ukraine aid and a LNG pause reversal to Biden during a one-on-one meeting in March, according to Bloomberg News, which cited an individual with knowledge of the situation. Reuters previously reported that some in the White House were potentially willing to reverse the moratorium depending on what else was included in the compromise, but White House officials disputed that claim.

Climate activists — including the confrontational outfit called Climate Defiance and a 25-year old TikTok influencer — lobbied the Biden administration to impose the LNG moratorium ahead of the decision to do so. The pause will not reduce global emissions, but instead empower natural gas production in places like Russia and Qatar, energy sector experts previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The climate lobby and its activist voters are poised to be a key bastion of support for Biden in the 2024 race, with several organizations already endorsing his reelection campaign or declaring their plans to spend big to stave off former President Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House.

The White House did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

‘Let Them Eat Cake Moment’: Fox Guest Tears Into Biden’s Fundraiser Raising Millions As Americans Are ‘Suffering’

/in , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

Project 21 Chairman Horace Cooper tore into President Joe Biden’s recent star-studded fundraiser Friday on Fox News, calling out that Americans are “suffering” while the Democratic Party raises millions.

Cooper appeared on “Hannity” to discuss Biden’s record breaking fundraiser Thursday evening which raised $26 million, as he spoke alongside former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. However, Biden received backlash from former President Donald Trump and other Republicans as his event because it was the same day as slain New York Police Department officer Jonathan Diller’s wake, in which he only offered condolences to the family while speaking with Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Cooper called out the “moment” from Biden to boast about the fundraiser as America’s economic peril continues to affect millions of Americans. Cooper continued to call out Biden’s actions in comparison to Trump, stating that under the former president’s administration people had “prospered.”

“What we saw last night was the president’s ‘let them eat cake’ moment. Millions of Americans are suffering because of the mismanagement of this economy. I say this frequently. We’re seeing record numbers of foreclosures, people are having their cars repossessed, we are seeing a silent job loss because the reports are now showing that the actual growth in employment is in part-time jobs, not in full-time jobs. It is totally and completely unseemly, in this economic environment, for our president to say that we’re going to try to set the record for the amount raised. No money to help people buy eggs and bacon. No money to make sure that people can afford gasoline,” Cooper stated.

“When President Trump was in charge, millions of Americans, the majority of Americans, succeeded. They prospered. They were able to purchase cars. They were able to get homes. It is remarkable the divergence between the real priorities of this president that we have and his challenger, former President Trump, who was willing to take time and contribute to pay off the mortgage of that slain officer’s family. What a contrast.”

Biden’s reelection campaign held its fundraiser at the Radio City Music Hall Thursday evening, with celebrities including Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, Lea Michele and late night host Stephen Colbert all scheduled to take the stage.

Following the event, Trump called out Biden over his response to Diller’s death, as the former president attended the slain officer’s wake Thursday afternoon. Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman, who was also in attendance at the wake, stated that Trump was a “source of comfort” for Diller’s family as he addressed each family member individually to offer “his condolences.” Blakeman additionally stated that prior to Trump’s exit from the wake, over 200 guests in attendance had given the former president “a rousing ovation.”

Notably, Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul was reportedly denied entrance into the second day of Diller’s wake Friday, as video footage shows Hochul turning away after a man confronted her near the entrance.

Biden’s Signature Climate Law Has A Major Achilles’ Heel — And Dems Are Making It Worse

/in , , , , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

President Joe Biden’s landmark climate bill is being held back by a lack of comprehensive permitting reform, the absence of which enables environmentalist lawsuits that impede green energy projects subsidized by the legislation.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) contained hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidize green energy projects nationwide, but the bill did not include significant reform to the permitting process that would expedite construction timelines and insulate developments from environmental legal challenges. Unless Congressional Democrats can negotiate a permitting reform package with Republicans in an election year, these problems will continue to dog the IRA’s implementation, energy policy experts and stakeholders told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

After solar and wind developments have been built, they need to be connected to the grid via transmission lines to feed power into the grid. Permitting reform would speed up the lengthy paperwork process for that transmission, as well as provide developers an additional layer of protection against environmental lawsuits that also disrupt the construction of green energy developments.

However, that reform has not happened yet, thanks in part to Congressional Democrats’ inability to agree among themselves on what that reform should look like to counter Republican proposals, according to E&E News.

“I think that not having any transmission reform is a huge barrier to implementing the IRA,” Isaac Orr, a policy analyst for the Center for the American Experiment who specializes in energy policy, told the DCNF. “I think there was an understanding that permitting reform was necessary in order to implement a lot of the things Democrats wanted as soon as they got the IRA … It’s a physical reality that you need the transmission in order to incorporate all this new capacity on the grid.”

The lack of reform has left numerous green energy developments open to legal challenges filed by environmental groups, who often will pursue similar legal strategies adopted by opponents of fossil fuel infrastructure projects in the past.

For example, a coalition of tribes and environmental organizations are suing to block a massive $10 billion transmission project in Arizona, while different coalitions have taken to court to allege violations of environmental laws on the part of offshore wind developers building wind farms in waters off the coasts of Virginia and Massachusetts. Elsewhere in the country, conservation groups have continued the years long fight against Wisconsin’s Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission line by suing the government to stop construction.

“Reforms aimed at streamlining the federal government’s permit decision-making process and discouraging frivolous litigation have the potential not only to improve regulatory efficiency but also to bring about greater certainty and predictability in the offshore wind sector,” Erik Milito, the president of the National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) told the DCNF. “Litigation, particularly around alleged National Environmental Policy Act deficiencies, has been a significant hindrance for offshore wind projects. A robust U.S. offshore wind market relies on confidence and certainty in the permitting and regulatory process, which is essential for fostering growth and ensuring the success of these projects, much like any other major infrastructure endeavor.”

Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a leading advocate for comprehensive permitting reform, has tried to advance legislation to expedite the permitting process and minimize opportunities for litigation to gum up timelines for all kinds of energy projects.

In total, there are no fewer than ten different permitting-related bills in Congress and two major regulatory initiatives underway on the federal level, but progress on streamlining the permitting process is still very sluggish, according to Utility Dive.

“All of these things, the Clean Water Act, the way the National Environmental Policy Act is now run … you can’t get anything built because of these statutes,” Mike McKenna, a Republican strategist with extensive experience in and around the energy sector, told the DCNF about Congressional gridlock on permitting reform.

“So we are about a year into you’re what I think is going to be a seven- or eight-year process, where everyone on the Left starts figuring out, ‘Oh, my goodness, these guys were right, You can’t build any of this stuff.”

Neither the White House nor the Department of Energy responded to requests for comment.

Marxist Biden Immediately Offers To Use Tax Payer Money To Rebuild The Francis Scott Key Bridge

🚨Cargo ship striking the Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge at 8x speed is truly crazy.

— Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸 News (@DonaldTNews) March 27, 2024

The “Installed Marxist” roosting in the White House Joe Biden continues his Communist manifesto assault on America by immediately offering up our tax payer money to completely fund 100% to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge accidentally destroyed in Maryland by the container ship Dali.

Biden has no idea of the cost, he has no plan and the only way for U.S. taxpayers to cover this mess will require congressional approval to provide the funds and to also buy more ink and paper for the Treasury Department printing presses because we as a republic are broke.

Communism always uses the people’s money to fund and ultimately initiate control of all infrastructure but in the case of this bridge destroyed in its totality by a terrible accident, responsibility of funding a new bridge actually falls on the shoulders of Synergy Marine Pte Ltd and the insurance carried by the shipping company Maersk.

According to its website, Synergy Marine Pte Ltd states it is fully responsible for the maintenance and optimum condition of the container ship Dali that apparently lost all electrical power resulting in its loss of steering and thus it crashed into the bridge in Maryland totally destroying it.

The company also states on their website they always ensure sustainable best in class care of the ships they manage without mentioning that Karl Marx invented sustainability.

The company also states they offer the best practices in marine technical maintenance support and they never compromise on safety, compliance, and environmental care.

Thus any maritime attorneys will joyfully use this company’s own words to recover fully any damages to rebuild the bridge not the American tax payers.

The insurance companies and the shipping company Maersk a Danish company that cover shipping disasters and Synergy Marine Pte Ltd are fully responsible for paying for a new bridge and compensating the families of those killed who apparently are from Central America not the USA.

Hopefully the people killed have Green Cards and or Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). If they don’t, then insurance companies have no responsibility to cover this loss of life. That will fall on the state of Maryland the White House for allowing the hiring of possible illegal immigrants.

Openly Gay Homosexual U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said closure of one of the country’s busiest shipping lanes until further notice would have a “major and protracted impact to supply chains.

This of course is a false narrative coming from the mouth of an incompetent, corrupt low IQ government official trying to scare us taxpayers into bending over for this Marxist government.

The biggest supply chain problem resulting from the loss of this bridge would be transporting new cars and General Motors and Ford Motor Company already stated they will reroute affected shipments, and the disruption would be minimal.

Biden wants to ban gasoline powered cars anyway so homosexual Transportation Secretary Buttigieg is being hypocritical in his urgent call to action to fix a bridge and unblock a channel used mainly for moving new cars and parts by ship.

Marxist Joe Biden also said he will immediately visit the disaster site in the blue state of Maryland while he totally ignored the massive train derailment in Palestine Ohio on February 23rd 2023 a red state.

Hang in there ladies and gentlemen this Marxist assault on our Republic will end soon when Trump is back in the White House and the adults are back in charge representing us.

DAVID BLACKMON: New EPA Auto Emission Rules Reflect The Madness Of King Biden thumbnail

DAVID BLACKMON: New EPA Auto Emission Rules Reflect The Madness Of King Biden

/in , , , , , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

In a move that is certain to be challenged in the courts, the Biden Environmental Protection Agency enacted a de facto ban on many gas-powered cars this week in the form of a final regulation on allowable tailpipe emissions.

The regulation is designed to force two-thirds of new light-duty cars and 46% of medium duty autos sold in the United States to be electric vehicles by 2032, one of the more hare-brained schemes that make up the Biden Green New Deal energy policies.

In the press release accompanying the new rule, the EPA boasts that the new mandates “will avoid more than 7 billion tons of carbon emissions and provide nearly $100 billion of annual net benefits to society, including $13 billion of annual public health benefits due to improved air quality, and $62 billion in reduced annual fuel costs,” all of which is so much nonsense that no one really believes it. But this kind of fantasy narrative forms the very foundation of current Democrat party thinking on energy and climate policy.

In a statement, Tom Pyle, President of the American Energy Alliance, fired back at the EPA talking points, calling the regulation “another example of President Biden’s assault on the middle class.” Pyle correctly points out that the new rules “will make cars more expensive and ultimately make fewer cars available for Americans. By now, we have gotten used to incredibly damaging and stupid rules from the Biden administration, but this one is in a class by itself.”

But of course, raising the price for a new car in the United States is a feature of the Green New Deal policies pushed by Biden and his regulators, not a glitch. According to data kept by the St. Louis office of the Federal Reserve, the consumer price index when Biden assumed office in January, 2021 stood at 150.131. By February of 2024, that had skyrocketed to 179.311, a rise of 14% in just three years. By contrast, the index rose by just 1% during the first term of Donald Trump.

It is no secret that increasing the cost of energy is a central goal of the climate-alarm activist movement, not just in the United States but across the globe. The conceit there being that if you can force energy costs high enough and fast enough to make them unbearable to ordinary consumers, you will force people to conserve, i.e., do without. As Pyle correctly points out, it is a direct assault on the middle and lower classes in society, given the fact that rising energy costs essentially function as a regressive tax that impacting the poorest classes the hardest.

This is the core belief system that controls policy in the Democrat party today. It is simply beyond question at this point – literally every action this administration takes related to energy policy is designed to intentionally increase the cost for energy for every American. Consumers see it in the rising price for gas at the pump – more than 50% higher today than it was when Biden took office. They see it in skyrocketing home utility bills. They see it in irrational Biden policy actions like pushing offshore wind industrial projects, where big developers continue to demand more subsidies and higher rate guarantees before moving forward. They see it in the administration’s policies designed to depress the domestic oil and gas industry. They see it in policies intentionally designed to destroy reliability on the nation’s power grid.

And now they see it in this new EPA power grab. It comes after U.S. automakers have spent the last half year scaling back their plans for EV development and begging the administration to reconsider its irrational, destructive approach in light of the slowing demand for such cars and the ensuing massive financial losses. The vast majority of Americans simply do not want to own an EV, and forcing automakers to manufacture them regardless of market demand is the surest way to create the “bloodbath” in the domestic industry that Trump predicted last week.

It is madness, plain and simple, and if voters give this administration another four years in office, disaster will become inevitable.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion = Discrimination, Inequality, Exclusion thumbnail

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion = Discrimination, Inequality, Exclusion

/in , , /by

By Karen Schoen

No matter what you say about DIE, the bottom line is, it’s Affirmative Action with new names. America is being run by Affirmative Action Gradates.  The sad part is the actions of our legislators and their continued spending spree will make hitting the iceberg inevitable. With the poll numbers favoring Trump and MAGA, past experience indicates; depression,  war, riots, Marshall Law and no election is on the horizon. I hope I am wrong but I can see these power hungry entities giving up power any time soon. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. They will lie, cheat and steal so you must be armed with the truth.

This week Tyson Foods, which includes Chicken, Hillshire, Sarah Lee and many more announced a layoff of 1200 Americans only to hire 5200 illegals. How did that happen? I thought we were safe after all we had E-Verify.  Well OBiden allowed illegals to enter under the parole system.  While they await their trial, they could work.  In the meantime they got lots of free stuff paid for by the American taxpayer so the corporation could pay a reduced salary.  But why does the corporation want to put Americans out of work if their money was paying for free stuff? Not to worry, the government would just print more money.

Since we are paying for all the illegal’s  “free Stuff” the illegals can go on a spending spree and the economic indicators charting purchases will make the company look profitable and economy look strong. Then they can become a Tent Partner. What is Tent.org? Tent is an NGO that formed a public/private partnership with the U.S. State Department.

The purpose of Tent is to mobilize major businesses to connect refugees to work.

“Companies have a critical role to play in helping refugees – who have been forced to flee their home countries – integrate into their new communities. We focus on mobilizing leading businesses to connect refugees to work through hiring , training , and mentorship – because we know that securing a job is a critical milestone for a refugee building a new life.”  Americans are paying for this. What about our jobs and our lives?

In reality we are printing money to give to illegals so they can spend the money buying stuff making the corporations lots of profit and the stock market goes up.   In addition the corporations get so many subsidies that they are getting really cheap labor.  Imagine $15,098 per American per year goes to the government to support the illegals OBiden has brought to America to replace you. Can you use an extra $15,000? Are you happy yet?

That takes care of the illegals, your replacement who gets hired, trained and mentored at our expense. . What happens to the corporation? How are they benefiting? Tax Subsidies

In addition to paying Tent to replace us, Corporations now qualify for WOTC

The WOTC, Work Opportunity Tax Credit, extended until 2025 is being used by corporations to hire people in certain categories.  Once hired using DIE principal, the corporation gets a $10000 per person per year tax subsidy. Tyson is a perfect example. Tyson just fired 1200 Americans and will 5200 illegals. Hillshire, Jimmy Dean, Sarah Lee are part of the Tyson Family. Tyson needs a Boycott.

How many other companies will follow suit?  Take a look at the Tent Membership list. Layoffs are coming. Remember 2006-8?

Put that together with the Workforce Housing Tax Credit and major corporations will be building low income housing in 15 Minute Cities for their workers while getting another tax subsidy on the back of the taxpayer. Everyone will be equitable You will live in a high-rise from 350-700 sq. ft. Stores down below and the factory on the next block. Everything you need will be in walking distance. Your government will provide what ever you need and if you have enough social credits you can make purchases.

In addition OBiden is printing $35 Billion to convert commercial building to rental units to house the illegals that are invading our country.  The taxpayer is fleeced again and the U.S. House gives OBiden more money.

O’Biden’s policies are causing the U.S. treasury to print $1 Trillion every 90 days.

There no such thing as Cheap Labor.

Ask your candidates questions VET them carefully and hold them accountable.

WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON’T DO AS THEY SAY,  REPLACE THEM ALL!  Will they STOP THE SPENDING?

It seems as though the Blacks, Hispanics and LGBTQ+++, are no longer the favored chosen ones. Americans are being replaced by illegals for tax subsidies and votes.

You will not hear this on MSM.  The unemployment numbers, job numbers and economic indicators are all lies. More illegals have gotten jobs under the OBiden regime than Americans. Those “great” job numbers you hear are jobs for illegals.  Free speech is having its lights turned off. Although the Globalists yell constantly they are for free speech, they are only for the free speech that speech agrees with their vision… Yes sir, I believe it is a great idea to replace Americans and bring in foreign labor so the corporations can get rich and investors can make more money. I just love seeing veterans and Americans homeless living on the street. I think we should print more money so the debt and inflation can go higher. Then the Globalists will be happy and I will own nothing.

Nationalists will dream of their future, their life and set a plan to achieve that dream. Globalists will have a visions of life and demand you fit into their vision without deviation. If you disagree they will squash you.

All Globalists want is Money, Control and Power. They can only get Power if we give it to them. Don’t give them yours. Challenge them with the truth. Doing Nothing is Affirmation.

The Regime will not go quietly, Prepare.  Share with your 5.

101 Termites In The Republican Party Continue To Eat Away Our Once Stable Economy

The Republican Socialist and Communist Democrat infestation of our constitutional republic continue their intentional dismantling of our once free market economy.

Apparently $34 trillion is not enough debt so let’s raise it another trillion dollars plus.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and 100 republicans, listed below, voted “yes” in lockstep with the Communist Democrats to continue to use tax payer money to fund the federally backed slaughter of pre-born babies, to fund the political weaponized Department of Justice allowing it’s unconstitutional assault on President Trump and to continue to grow the IRS into an armed force against the American people.

Fortunately, 13 Florida Republicans in my home state voted no on this destructive trillion dollar debacle which is a good thing but ultimately the Communist Democrats ran this dog and pony show even though the so called Republicans control the congressional tax payer purse strings.

So examining the entire process the uni party Socialist Republicans and Communist Democrats are still working together to collapse our once strong vibrant free market economy.

Apparently averting a government shutdown and printing more money is more important than protecting pre-born Americans and preventing the collapse of our economy, which will ultimately happen with spending like this resulting in a future shut down of the entire country not just the uni party trying to save their own government paychecks.

Republican in name only House Speaker Mike Johnson needs to be removed from his positional authority and replaced with Congressman Matt Gaetz R-FL)

Any conservative Political Action Committees (PACs) that have previously endorsed and or funded the listed individuals above must rescind their endorsements.

Part of the endorsement process for most conservative PACs includes a promise by the candidate or incumbent to vote only on fiscally conservative budgets.

These individuals have failed to protect our republic from fiscal deterioration. Our nation is on the brink of bankruptcy.

I send my best wishes to George Santos and salute his decision to leave the do nothing termite Republican Party and his decision join the ranks of Independent politicians as envisioned by our Founding Fathers.

‘Total Abomination’: $1.2 Trillion Bill Funds Teen Trans Programs, Abortion to 22 Weeks thumbnail

‘Total Abomination’: $1.2 Trillion Bill Funds Teen Trans Programs, Abortion to 22 Weeks

/in , , , , , , /by

By Family Research Council

A sprawling, $1.2 trillion government funding bill includes funding for abortion facilities, as well as LGBTQ activist centers that carry out transgender injections, target minors, hold drag shows, and help illegal immigrants who identify as gay or transgender gain U.S. citizenship — a bill one congressman calls “a total, total abomination.”

The “Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024” funds the Departments of Defense, Education, Health and Human Services (HHS), Homeland Security (DHS), Labor, and State until the end of the fiscal year, September 30. Congressional leadership released the text of the 1,012-page bill at 2:30 a.m. Thursday, giving members of Congress just hours to read before an anticipated vote to head off an impending government shutdown at midnight Saturday.

As of this writing, the bill contained the following earmarks:

  • $400,000 requested by Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) for Briarpatch Youth Services in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. The group promises to hide minors’ struggle with gender dysphoria from their parents while indoctrinating teens in extreme gender ideology. Its “Queer 101 Training” promises to teach “an intersectional understanding on queer oppression” and aims “to demonstrate how limiting the ‘male’ and ‘female’ binary is.” The organization offers “individual counseling services” for children “ages 12-17,” in which a “[c]ounselor can work with children on exploring identity, resiliency, and creating a Gender Support Plan for school support and advocacy.” The group’s website says, “Youth do NOT need parent/guardian permission to join Teens Like Us. We understand not all youth are at a point in their lives where they can safely and confidently ‘come out.’” (Emphasis in original.) The group’s “Queer 101 Training” aims “to demonstrate how limiting the ‘male’ and ‘female’ binary is.”
  • $400,000 requested by Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.) for the Mazzoni Center in Philadelphia, which carries out transgender hormone shots, clears the way for transgender surgeries, advertises transgender services for minors, and holds drag show fundraisers. Mazzoni carries out cross-sex hormone injections and provides medical letters for transgender surgeries. The center begins targeting teens with its Pediatric & Adolescent Comprehensive Transgender Services (PACTS). Its “Youth Drop In,” which is held each Wednesday night, is aimed at teens “ages 14 to 24” and notes, “Patients under 18 can receive confidential care regarding sexual and mental health without parental permission.” The Mazzoni Center both contributes to and profits from the LGBT movement. Mazzoni invited donors to mingle with “a wide range of acts that include drag queens, drag kings, trans-identifying, bearlesque, and burlesque performers” at its December 3 Code Red fundraiser. “In December, fundraising for Mazzoni Center truly was a drag,” the center cracked. “Drag entertainer Cherry Pop and her fabulous friends united for the 10th annual Code Red fundraiser, a drag/variety show,” which it described as a “powerful night” for a “vital cause.”
  • $1,808,000 requested by Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed (both D-R.I.) for Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, which carries out first- and second-term abortions at its Family Planning Clinic. “If you need to discuss abortion care for pregnancy, please feel free to contact the Family Planning Clinic,” states its website. Its “services” include “[s]urgical abortion under general anesthesia in the operating room for people up to 22 weeks pregnant” and “[m]edication abortion (the ‘abortion pill’) for people up to ten weeks pregnant.” The facility will also implant a potential abortifacient inside women after the abortion, advertising a “[p]ost-abortion IUD or contraceptive implant.”
  • $650,000 requested by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) for Dartmouth Hitchcock Nashua in New Hampshire. “We routinely provide both medication and procedural abortion care up to 22 weeks of pregnancy,” the group declares. The facility describes surgical abortion as a procedure “ending a pregnancy by having the pregnancy removed by doctors.”
  • $780,000 requested by Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) for Amador Health Services in Las Cruces, New Mexico, which boasts that it “can provide transgender/gender non-conforming (GNC) health education, therapeutic counseling and referrals, and additional LGBTQ+ support that puts your safety and comfort first. If you’ve felt rejected by family and loved ones, isolated from your community, or are just in need of an ear to listen, we’re here.” It also decries the “social stigma” surrounding “undocumented immigration” (e.g., illegal immigration). “[W]e’re working every day to eliminate that stigma and make all feel like they belong.”
  • $146,000 requested by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) for Apicha Community Health Center, for facilities and equipment. Apicha’s two locations in Manhattan and Queens advertise “transgender and gender-affirming services” — specifically “initiation and maintenance of hormone replacement therapy,” “letters of support for gender-affirming surgeries” and “help with name change process.” They also distribute potential abortifacients Plan B and IUDs.
  • $706,000 requested by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) for Entre Hermanos, an LGBT group that helps put illegal immigrants on a path to U.S. citizenship. It offers legal counseling and “free immigration clinics” to illegal immigrants who identify as LGBTQ to obtain U.S. citizenship and hosts workshops on “the many identities” under the transgender “umbrella” and strategies to minimize “transphobia.” The group’s website currently advertises the upcoming “Drag Brunch” on April 28.
  • $850,000 requested by Rep. Ayanna Pressley, and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey (D-Mass.) for LGBTQ Senior Housing, Inc. (“The Pryde”), in Massachusetts, a controversial funding provision that House Republicans stripped out of a Transportation funding bill last year.

Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.), chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, also listed the following concerning earmarks:

  • “Sen. Bennet (D-CO), $845,000 – Envision: You, CO (SAMHSA) – LGBTQ advocacy.”
  • “Sen. Shatz (D-HI), $550,000 – Hawaii Health and Harm Reduction Center, HI (SAMHSA) – LGBTQ services and syringe exchange.”
  • “Sen. Schumer (D-NY), $1,000,000 — SAGE, NY (ACL) – LGBTQ advocacy.”

The “earmarks in it for abortion facilities” make the bill a “total, total abomination,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) told Steve Bannon’s “War Room” on Thursday.

“We continue to fund abortion tourism, we continue to fund transgender surgeries at the Department of Defense,” Roy continued. “It busts the [spending] caps … funds the FBI headquarters, doesn’t secure the border, funds the World Health Organization.”

Even these dedicated funding streams do not cover the full extent of the bill’s harmful funding, say its critics. “I have multiple concerns, among them are the many new social services that this bill would create for the millions of illegal immigrants streaming across our border. Additionally, it would fund facilities providing routine abortion services, including late-term abortions,” said Aderholt.

Experts say the short time frame legislators have to review such massive legislation makes it more likely wasteful or immoral spending will find congressional approval. “Lawmakers are using arbitrary deadlines and shutdown politics to extort the American people and force lawmakers to vote for a bill they don’t have time to read,” said Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation. “Conservatives were told that the days of omnibus spending bills shrouded in secrecy were over. But this process and the bill it produced are indistinguishable from typical Swamp behavior that’s taken our economy and country to the brink of disaster.”

Principled lawmakers seem to agree. “This is not the bill that my subcommittee produced and supported,” the chairman added. “The Senate has taken liberties with their Congressionally Directed Spending requests that would never stand in the House.”

“Under no circumstances should [House Republicans] vote for this bill,” said Roy. “A vote for this bill is a vote against America.”

“In good conscience, I cannot and will not vote for these projects or this bill,” Aderholt concluded.

The bill is expected to pass Friday.

Rep. MTG Files Motion To Remove Mike Johnson As Speaker Of The House

/in , , , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion Friday morning for Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to vacate the chair.

Greene called on Johnson to not bring the $1.2 trillion spending bill to the floor for a vote, calling it “a Chuck Schumer, Democrat-controlled bill coming from the ‘Republican-controlled’ House.” She would have to be recognized to try to vacate the speakership, and the House would have to take action within two legislative days. Having not noticed the privilege, the motion cannot be considered until after the recess.

This is not a Republican bill. It is a Chuck Schumer, Democrat-controlled bill coming from the “Republican-controlled” House.

“Speaker Johnson always listens to the concerns of members, but is focused on governing. He will continue to push conservative legislation that secures our border, strengthens our national defense and demonstrates how we’ll grow our majority,” Johnson’s spokesperson Raj Shah said in a statement.

The House ended up on Friday passing the $1.2 trillion consolidated spending bill, which included millions of dollars in earmarks, to fund the remainder of the U.S. government for the 2024 fiscal year. The bill passed with 286 yeas to 134 nays, meeting the two-thirds majority requirement to suspend the rules and pass expeditiously.

Leading up to the vote, members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus (HFC) members encouraged their Republican colleagues to vote against the package, which Chairman Bob Good slammed in a statement.

“Is there anything that some Republicans won’t do to keep this government open? Why are we in a rush to keep this government open that is so harming the American people by the very policies which they are suffering under?,” Good said. “And the bill that’s being voted on today will be Republicans joining with Democrats to fund this DHS. Instead we must say enough, not on our watch.”

Former HFC Chairman Scott Perry echoed Good’s concerns, saying Republicans who vote yes “should be ashamed,” while Republican Rep. Chip Roy argued that they will “own the destruction of America” for passing the bill.

“Every single Republican should vote no, should vote no. And should be ashamed of ever voting yes,” said former HFC Chairman Scott Perry. “And if they don’t vote no on this bill, what they’re saying to their constituents — their bosses who sent them to Washington, D.C. — Democrat or Republican, what you saw at the border, that’s fine with me. That’s good. Let’s get more of that.”

“Anybody who votes for this bill today owns every stinking bit of it,” Roy said. “They own the destruction of the American economy with all these regulations killing families. They own the wide open borders, causing death and destruction. They own the fentanyl pouring into communities. If you fund it, you own it.”

The House Appropriations Committee just released a $1.2 trillion government spending bill at two in the morning.

Included in this trillion dollar, bankrupting boondoggle is taxpayer monies earmarked  funneled to Briarpatch Youth Services. Briarpatch gives 13-year-old kids chest binders, tuck equipment, “counseling” all without parental consent.  This was requested by Senator Baldwin.

Let’s talk about who actually writes up these monstrosities. Who us behind this? Who is running the country.

Massive Spending Bill Provides Money for Transgender Clothing for Teens

By: Todd Starnes, March 21, 2024

There are troubling developments out of our nation’s capital.

A $1.2 trillion spending bill was released by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican leaders in the wee hours of the morning. The bill is more than 1,000 pages and is filled with outrageous expenditures.

House members have been told to prepare for a vote on Friday morning. That would be a direct violation of the 72-hour rule – which requires the text of a bill to be released at least 72 hours before a vote.

“It is total lack of backbone, total lack of leadership and a total failure by Republican leadership,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) told Steve Bannon. “I don’t even have words for any Republican that votes for this bill. I promise you I will not be going out and supporting any Republican who votes for this bill for any position, ever again.”

The proposed bill already represents a complete surrender on any efforts to secure our southern border. But it’s also filled with other outrageous proposals.

There’s $400,000 in tax money earmarked for Briarpatch Youth Services, an organization that gives gender confused 13-year-old children “binding and tucking” clothing — without parental permission.

A call to vacate the chair should be declared if the House of Representatives is not given at least 72 hours to read this monstrosity of a spending bill. If the GOP can’t be leaders in fiscal responsibility, what’s the point?

Meanwhile, call your elected members of Congress and tell them to vote NO on the spending bill — even if it results in the shutdown of the federal government. Enough is enough!

America under the Democrat regime is an evil, horrible joke.

Home Foreclosures Soar Nationwide thumbnail

Home Foreclosures Soar Nationwide

/in , , , , /by

By The Geller Report

So confident is the Democrat party of treason in their running dogs in the media (and election rigging) that they are running on how great the economy is.

The Associated Press and other government stooges are running with it:

President Joe Biden opened a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, asking and answering the classic “are you better off today than you were four years ago” question to remind voters of what it was like when Trump was in office.

Home foreclosures are soaring nationwide – and rising fastest in these 5 states

By Megan Henney FOX Business, March 15, 2024:

Home foreclosures rose again in February as Americans continue to grapple with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

That is according to a new report published by real estate data provider ATTOM, which found that there were 32,938 properties in February with foreclosure filings, which includes default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions. That marks an 8% increase from the prior year, although it is down 1% from the previous month.

“The annual uptick in U.S. foreclosure activity hints at shifting dynamics within the housing market,” said ATTOM CEO Rob Barber. “These trends could signify evolving financial landscapes for homeowners, prompting adjustments in market strategies and lending practices.”

[…]

In South Carolina, foreclosures surged 51%, while Missouri saw a 50% jump and Pennsylvania a 46% increase. Foreclosures in Texas rose 7%, and in Indiana they climbed 0.8%…

REPORT: Biden Administration’s Abuse of Parole for Illegal Aliens Now Outpaces Admission of Legal Immigrants thumbnail

REPORT: Biden Administration’s Abuse of Parole for Illegal Aliens Now Outpaces Admission of Legal Immigrants

/in , , , , , , /by

By Federation for American Immigration Reform

Washington, D.C. — Unprecedented abuse of immigration parole authority by the Biden administration is currently allowing more illegal aliens into the United States than the U.S. admits through the legal immigration process, finds a new report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). Data detailed in the report, Immigration Parole: The Executive Branch’s Shadow Immigration System, reveals that during the first two quarters of fiscal year (FY) 2023, 636,601 foreign nationals gained entry to the United States via parole compared with 545,419 who were granted green cards through our legal immigration system.

The abuse of parole is effectively creating a shadow immigration system that circumvents Congress. The Biden administration has paroled in at least 1.8 million individuals in two years, giving these illegal aliens nearly the same benefits as green cardholders. This widespread abuse of parole authority has been carried out in order to make the unprecedented influx of illegal aliens under the Biden administration less visible to the American public.

In addition to illegal aliens who are granted parole upon entering the country illegally – such as Jose Ibarra, who is accused of murdering Laken Riley, the Georgia nursing student – the administration has created a parole program that allows citizens of certain countries who don’t have visas and are ineligible to be admitted to fly directly to the United States. Upon their arrival, they receive parole, are released, and become eligible for work permits and other benefits. Illegal aliens who are granted parole to enter the U.S. have undergone inadequate vetting, increasing the national security and public safety risks to Americans.

“The Biden administration has taken a program that, by statute, is supposed to be temporary and exercised on a case-by-case basis and created what they term as a ‘new legal pathway’ for people to enter and remain permanently in the country,” said Dan Stein, president of FAIR. “To be clear, there is nothing legal about these pathways. Under our Constitution, only Congress has the authority to create legal avenues for people to enter the United States. Nevertheless, the administration has usurped that authority to implement what amounts to a shadow immigration system that now exceeds in scope the formal legal immigration process.”

Among the Biden administration’s most egregious abuses of parole authority include:

  • Development of the CBP One app, which facilitates appointments for illegal migrants heading to the U.S., and has resulted in the parole of over 43,000 illegal aliens each month from ports of entry.
  • Creation of new programs for nationals of Ukraine and Afghanistan, which violate the statutory prohibition on paroling in refugees, bypass the established refugee process, and circumvent its standard vetting procedures.
  • Establishment of country specific parole programs for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans that allow as many as 360,000 inadmissible aliens a year to fly directly to the United States.
  • Creating “Family Reunification Parole” programs for the above-mentioned nationalities plus citizens of Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Ecuador and Honduras.
  • Reinstatement of the Obama-era Central American Minors (CAM) and International Entrepreneurial parole programs.

Illegal aliens granted parole are eligible for numerous public assistance programs and work authorization, and are able to adjust their status to green card holders. In addition, they are not monitored or required to check in with the government while in the United States.

“This week Congress is holding hearings to examine the scope and impact of the Biden administration’s flagrant abuse of parole. It is imperative that these hearings result in Congress passing clearly worded legislation – such as those provisions included in H.R. 2 — that curtails executive discretion and explicitly defines the specific, and limited, circumstances under which an alien may be released via parole into the United States,” Stein concluded.

REPORT: Biden Regime Providing Interest Free Loans to Illegals Aliens to Travel to America thumbnail

REPORT: Biden Regime Providing Interest Free Loans to Illegals Aliens to Travel to America

/in , , , , , /by

By Dr. Rich Swier

A reader sent us an email with a link to a Law Enforcement Today article by: Noah Webster.

DL wrote in the email, “Not just interest-free; there is no penalty if they don’t pay them back. According to the article, free money for mortgages, too. We should all leave the country and come back illegally. But ‘We The People”‘ would probably be tossed in jail. In the comments section of the article, people are demanding we detach from the UN over this.”

Biden regime in cahoots with UN in providing interest free loans to illegals to travel to the US

WASHINGTON, DC- Despite the ridiculous border situation, The Liberty Daily reports that the Biden regime is apparently lending money overseas to illegal aliens so they can enter the country illegally. In the meantime, millions of Americans struggle to pay for their basic needs every week.

The administration is working in cahoots with the United Nations IOM Migration Program, along with the United States Refugee Admissions Program, to hand out taxpayer money to illegal aliens to assist them in getting to the United States. Oh, and the “loans” never have to be paid back.

The program’s website offers “penalty and interest-free loans” to anyone wishing to come to the United States. American citizens pay 7.5% on mortgage loans if they are actually able to find a home to purchase. The illegals are only required to sign a “promissory note” agreeing to pay back the loan prior to leaving their country of origin. If they don’t pay back the loan, it’s no problem since there are no penalties attached.

“IOM arranges travel for refugees using funds furnished by the Department of State and is mandated to subsequently receive refugees repayments on behalf of the Department of State,” the website states. Again, there are no penalties attached for nonpayment.

“Repayments made are remitted to a revolving fund created between the Department of State and IOM for use by the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) to defray the cost of future refugee travel.”

One might think that with Republicans in charge of the House and therefore having the “power of the purse,” they could defund this program. Thus far, Republicans have not chosen to do so. That fact got some “X” users fired up.

“Why does the House fund these programs?” one X user asked. “CALL your representatives and tell them to STOP funding the INVASION–make yourselves HEARD.”

Another asked, “How is this not treason?”

Among the stated goals of the UN’s IOM program (why the hell are we still in the UN?) is to protect illegals who invade our country from being exploited by “abusive and predatory lending markets.”

The days when building your credit was worthwhile and rewarded are long gone. The answer is no longer if you illegally enter the country.

The program initially started back in 1958, and at that time, arriving refugees had to repay the loans, with that being a condition of admittance to the United States. Now, illegals are receiving the equivalent of PPP loans given out during the pandemic that were not required to be paid back.

Another poster on X asked, “Is there no limit to how criminal the American government is?”

“This is treacherous actions against U.S. citizens,” said another. “Attempting to implement UN ‘migration rights’ with no respect for nation’s sovereignty. End UN membership. Toss them out of the U.S. Lockdown ALL borders.”

Still, others wondered how the Biden regime gets away with operating in such a lawless manner while “nobody does anything” about it.

‘This is pure treachery, and it has to be stopped,” said another. “They are using taxpayer money to pay the way for illegals to get here.”

“Another reason NOT to extend the continuing resolution,” said another, referring to how Congress has been funding the budget for what seems like forever.

This is just another kick to the collective groin of American taxpayers.

Biden’s Marxist Economy Emulates Communist Cuba’s thumbnail

Biden’s Marxist Economy Emulates Communist Cuba’s

/in , , , , /by

By Geoff Ross

The citizens of Cuba live under the total dependency of their installed Communist government.

The installed Marxist in the White House Joe Biden emulates the Cuban and Venezuelan economies with his copy cat plans.

Biden’s policies have placed the same pressures on the American economy in lockstep with Cuban citizens who are also feeling the consequences of a government controlled economy.

Inflation is crushing the backs of the Cuban people and they lack basic food like bread which is running out. Inflation is also crushing the American middle class.

The Communist Cuban government also control electricity which is the poster child of a future generation of Americans if we continue to allow this Communist madness to continue in our own country.

California and New York are well on their way to being ran by dictators with their economies mirroring that of Cuba and Venezuela. Electricity in California will eventually be under government control.

Natural gas is banned from new construction projects in New York exemplifying the Communist commitment to control your energy needs much like in Cuba and Venezuela.

Beatriz Johnson is the handpicked Communist who heads the Communist Party in Santiago de Cuba.

She had to climb onto a roof of a government owned house on Sunday March 17th 2024 to calm down hundreds of angry Cubans who were screaming for electricity and food.

The Cuban people are sick and tired of Communism as are the citizens of California and New York.

500,000 Cubans fled their homeland for the United States and many also fled to Colombia, Peru, Brazil etc.

Californians and New Yorkers are leaving their states too in droves abandoning these Communist ran enclaves which is collapsing the California middle class dream. California’s loss is a gain for Florida, Nevada, Texas etc.

The Communist government in Cuba interfered with wages by controlling how much Cubans could make much like government interference in the United States that is forcing $15-20 an hour minimum wage for unskilled labor. This drives inflation creating $20 Big Macs.

The solution to overcome poverty is capitalism, hard work, sweat equity and saving money for a better future for your children. The President of Argentina just made this same statement.

Don’t look for a government controlled economy advocated by Communists like Maduro in Venezuela, Biden and Bernie Sanders in the USA to help you.

Seek freedom under capitalism and free markets and move the useless government out of the way. Vote Trump in November 2024.
