Democrats Rush to Get Votes on Spending Package, Infrastructure Bill

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats in the House were trying to set up votes on two pieces of legislation on Friday, attempting to pass President Biden’s massive social spending package and the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

As reported by The Washington Post, “Democrats hope to vote first on a nearly $2 trillion plan that would expand Medicare, provide free, universal prekindergarten for all American children, set aside new sums to fight global warming, and offer new benefits to low-income families, much of which is paid for through taxes on millionaires and corporations.”

Additionally, after deliberation on that package, The Post reported, “Democrats next hope to turn to a roughly $1.2 trillion measure to improve the nation’s roads, bridges, pipes, ports and Internet connections. That infrastructure measure cleared the Senate on a bipartisan basis in August, but it has remained stuck in the House.”

On Friday morning, it was reportedly still unclear as to what the schedule for the votes could be.

“We’re working on it,” said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD), as they kept trying to secure votes. (Read more from “Democrats Rush to Get Votes on Spending Package, Infrastructure Bill” HERE)

White House Tries to Claim CRT Isn’t Being Taught in Schools

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House joined the liberal chorus charging critical race theory is not being taught in schools and is only invoked to stoke fear among white parents, a claim belied by ever-increasing reams of evidence.

After Virginia Republicans claimed victories in the governor’s race and two other statewide races Tuesday with campaign platforms highly critical of public school curricula and critical race theory, the issue made its way to the White House briefing room.

“We need to be honest here about what’s going on,” said deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday. “Republicans are lying. They are not being honest. They are not being truthful about where we stand. And they’re cynically trying to use our kids as a political football.” . . .

“Clearly, the Biden administration hasn’t learned that calling parents liars is not a winning strategy,” said Ian Prior, executive director of Fight for Schools, a political action committee that backed Youngkin’s campaign.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Jonathan Butcher, senior fellow in education at the Heritage Foundation, said Jean-Pierre’s claim was “nonsense,” pointing to numerous examples of school districts using the term “critical race theory” repeatedly in reference to K-12 instruction.

Angel Families: Biden Plan Is $450K for Illegal Aliens, $0 for American Victims

/0 Comments/in , /by

Angel Families, whose loved ones were killed by illegal aliens, say that while President Joe Biden weighs providing reparations-style payouts to border crossers, the American victims of open borders receive no compensation for the federal government’s failure to enforce federal immigration law.

Last month, reports circulated that Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) were working to settle with a number of border crossers represented by the ACLU, who claim they have suffered trauma as a result of former President Donald Trump’s “Zero Tolerance” policy that was briefly imposed in 2019.

As part of the settlement, attorneys with the DOJ, DHS, and HHS are considering a plan that would give each border crosser about $450,000 and family units about $1 million. The total cost of the payouts would reach $1 billion.

Angel Families with Advocates for Victims of Illegal Alien Crime (AVIAC) — including Don Rosenberg whose son Drew Rosenberg was killed by an illegal alien in 2010 and Maureen Maloney whose son Matthew Denice was killed in 2011 by an illegal alien — detail in an open letter how Biden plans to reward border crossers while American victims of open borders are ignored.

Why the Supply Chain Crisis Is About to Get Much Worse

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration on Thursday announced the deadline for his private employer vaccine mandate, raising serious questions about how the rule will exacerbate the supply chain crisis.

According to RealClearPolitics’ Tom Bevan, there is no exemption for the trucking industry and there will likely be drivers who quit over the mandate.

“So all the biggest trucking companies in America – who already face major driver shortages – will see a % of their workforce quit. Supply chain crisis is going to get much worse – very soon,” he warned.

Bevan noted that a significant percentage of drivers are unvaccinated, which doesn’t make much of a difference given “the very nature of the job is iconoclastic: they spend most of the day alone in the cab of a truck, having very little interaction with other people.”

GOP Rep. Visits Jan. 6 Detainees at D.C. Jail, Says They Are ‘Suffering Greatly’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Thursday visited the D.C. jail and reported that detainees charged in connection with the Capitol riot were “suffering greatly.”

The Georgia Republican said her visiting the detainees in the “Patriot” wing of the D.C. Central Treatment Facility “was like walking into a prisoner of war camp and seeing men [whose] eyes can’t believe someone had made it in to see them.”

Mrs. Greene said they have “virtually no medical care, very poor food quality, and [are] being put through re-education which most of them are rejecting.”

She said the detainees “have felt forgotten and hopeless” and that she was “greeted by men with overwhelming cheers who rushed out to meet me with tears streaming down their faces.”

The lawmaker is planning to release a report about the visit and said she is committed to bringing an end to this “political war.” (Read more from “GOP Rep. Visits Jan. 6 Detainees at D.C. Jail, Says They Are ‘Suffering Greatly’” HERE)

City Announces That Children Will Soon Need to Show Their Vaccine Papers

/0 Comments/in , /by

San Francisco will become the first city in the nation to announce plans to have children 5 and up show proof of vaccination in certain indoor settings.

The decision comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine for ages 5-11.

According to NBC, the rule will apply in gyms, restaurants, and sporting events.

San Francisco Health Officer Susan Philip said the city will give adequate time for children to be vaccinated before implementing the rule.

“That will happen no sooner than about eight weeks after the vaccine is available to kids,” she said. “So, there will be a limited time in which there will not be those requirements, but then at some point, 5 to 11-year-olds will also have to show proof of vaccination to access some of those same settings.” . . .

The mandate for young children comes despite the fact that no one in this age group has died from Covid-19 in San Francisco, according to the city’s official Covid tracker, The Daily Mail reports. (Read more from “City Announces That Children Will Soon Need to Show Their Vaccine Papers” HERE)

Fully Vaccinated Plane Passenger Found Dead in Seat From Coronavirus

/3 Comments/in , , /by

A fully-vaccinated passenger on a flight from Turkey to Germany was found dead in his seat, reportedly infected with the coronavirus.

Crew members on Pegasus Airlines’ Flight 1043 discovered the 51-year-old traveller, when they arrived in Hamburg last week, reported German newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt.

Germany’s COVID-19 rules require passengers to reveal their COVID status before flying by providing a negative test result or proof of immunity.

The man was allowed to board the 3 1/2-hour flight from Istanbul because he proved he was fully vaccinated, according to the paper. (Read more from “Fully Vaccinated Plane Passenger Found Dead in Seat From Coronavirus” HERE)

Illegal Alien Who Posed as Unaccompanied Minor While Crossing Border Charged With Murder

/1 Comment/in , /by

A 24-year-old Honduran immigrant who’s charged with murder in the brutal stabbing death of a Florida man had crossed the US border illegally months earlier while posing as an unaccompanied minor, an investigation by The Post found.

Yery Noel Medina Ulloa was busted Oct. 7 in Jacksonville when he was found covered in blood after allegedly killing Francisco Javier Cuellar, 46, a father of four who had taken in the immigrant who told authorities he was 17.

Police said they followed a trail of blood back to the victim’s home and arrested Ulloa, placing him in a juvenile detention facility.

It wasn’t until Oct. 13 that authorities learned his real identity — and his true age.

Ulloa, who turned 24 on Friday, had duped border authorities in Texas several months earlier by claiming he was a teenager named Reynel Alexander Hernandez — and even told his mom about the ruse.

Massive $1.48 Trillion Tax Hike in Build Back Better Not Enough to Pay For Biden’s Radical Agenda

/0 Comments/in , /by

The tax hikes President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better social program spending bill would raise nearly $1.48 trillion in new tax revenue, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation.

Despite the massive tax hike, the new revenue still falls short of the $1.75 trillion spending increase House Democrats have packed into the legislation to fund the Biden agenda of new cradle to grave social programs and green new deal schemes.

Representative Richard Neal (D-MA), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, has said the package would be “fully paid for” with taxes and other offsets. Centrist Democrats have said they want to see analyses from the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) and the Congressional Budget Office before voting on the legislation.

Report: Source for Steele Dossier Conspiracy Theories Arrested

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the key sources for the wild claims ex-British agent Christopher Steele included in his now-debunked anti-Trump dossier – a key part of the Democrats’ conspiracy theory created to falsely link then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia – has been arrested.

The New York Times is reporting that Igor Danchenko, a “Russia analyst who worked with Christopher Steele,” was taken into custody as part of the investigation of that campaign to undermine Trump’s candidacy, and then presidency, by former U.S. Attorney John Durham.

Durham was tasked by then-Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate how the false claims against Trump were inserted at the highest levels of the Barack Obama administration, and were used by Democrats from that administration against a sitting president after Trump was inaugurated.

Already, there’s been one guilty plea in the investigation, and another key player indicted.

The Times reported Danchenko’s arrest as “part of the special counsel inquiry led by John H. Durham.” (Read more from “Report: Source for Steele Dossier Conspiracy Theories Arrested” HERE)
