Violating Norms on Day One, Biden Axes Respected Labor Attorney

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden caved to the demands of labor unions and fired the National Labor Relations Board’s top prosecutor on Wednesday, a move that many have labeled as “unprecedented.”

While members of the NLRB general counsel usually serve four-year terms, shortly after his inauguration, Biden pressured attorney Peter Robb to resign from his position before his tenure at the independent agency expired. Robb refused to resign, criticizing the decision in a letter to the Biden administration, saying the pressure seemed partisan coming from an executive branch that continues to peddle a message of unity. . .

Despite Robb’s concerns, Biden fired him following months of pressure from the large Service Employees International Union, which assisted the now-president on the campaign trail. In December, the union sent Biden a letter demanding Robb be removed, but not before coordinating with “allies in the labor movement” to persuade them to join the cause. According to reporting by the Huffington Post, the letter from the union claimed Robb is an “extreme, anti-union ideologue” and a “uniquely destructive figure” that damages the fight for labor relations.

State Rep Introduces Bill for an Official Bigfoot Hunting Season

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Oklahoma State Rep. Justin Humphrey has a plan to beef up tourism by creating an official Bigfoot hunting season.

“House Bill 1648 would direct the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Division to promulgate rules establishing the annual dates of the season and creating any necessary specific hunting licenses and fees,” according to a press release shared by Humphrey on Facebook. The post was noted by TMZ in a piece published Thursday.

“Tourism is one of the biggest attractions we have in my House district,” Humphrey shared in the release. “Establishing an actual hunting season and issuing licenses for people who want to hunt Bigfoot will just draw more people to our already beautiful part of the state.” . . .

However, there is a slight catch and he said he doesn’t want people to “actually kill” Bigfoot, just trap and capture the illusive creature.

And if by chance someone is able to trap and capture Sasquatch, there could be $25,000 for the first person to do so.

Please see below press release regarding a Bill I filed that Would Open Bigfoot Hunting Season.

NO SURPRISE: With Biden President, Politicians Reverse Course on Coronavirus Restrictions After Months of Strict Lockdowns

/1 Comment/in , /by

Politicians across the United States who pushed for the most restrictive coronavirus rules have recently reversed course on the restrictions and decided to focus on reopening.

After implementing some of the strictest lockdowns in the country for nearly ten months, Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Jan. 11 on Twitter that the state needed to focus on reopening. . .

After closing schools for nearly 10 months and implementing rigid coronavirus restrictions, Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer recently released a rationale for reopening schools. The reasons listed were “schools are essential,” “schools are lower risk when they implement key strategies” and “the state of Michigan is committed to supporting schools operate safely.” . . .

Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot also advocated for re-opening bars and restaurants “as soon as possible” during a Jan. 14 press conference.

“I am very, very focused on getting our restaurants reopened. If we look at the various criteria that the state has set, we are meeting most if not all of those. So that’s a conversation that I will have with the governor,” Lightfoot said, according to the Chicago Tribune. “But I want to get our restaurants and our bars reopened as quickly as possible.” (Read more from “NO SURPRISE: With Biden President, Politicians Reverse Course on Coronavirus Restrictions After Months of Strict Lockdowns” HERE)

Biden’s New America: Joe Biden Signs Stack of Executive Orders to Roll Back Trump Agenda

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden signed a stack of Executive Orders on Wednesday, immediately rolling back some of former President Donald Trump’s top priorities.

The president signed three executive orders in front of the press as he sat next to a stack of folders which he intended to sign afterward. . .

Biden signed executive orders mandating masks on federal property, ordering support for underserved communities to ensure equity and equality in health care and other areas, and an order reversing the Trump Administration’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. . .

According to the White House, Biden also signed orders revoking President Trump’s travel ban and revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.

Another order ended Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on the border, terminating funds for the construction of the wall and ordering a pause in construction within seven days. (Read more from “Joe Biden Signs Stack of Executive Orders to Roll Back Trump Agenda” HERE)

Biden Executive Order Repeals Trump Travel Ban

By Washington Examiner. President Biden rescinded the Trump administration’s travel ban against citizens from seven countries just hours after being sworn into office.

Biden on Wednesday afternoon repealed the first executive order that former President Donald Trump signed upon arriving at the White House in January 2017. The move was one of 17 reversals aimed at altering policies Trump put into effect.

That ban on travel affected countries in northern Africa and the Middle East: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Sudan. It was the first of three the Trump administration would set into action on the basis that those countries did not adequately vet travelers headed to the United States.

Biden Gender Equality Order Rankles Religious Conservatives

By Washington Examiner. President Biden on Wednesday announced an executive order confirming religious conservatives’ fears that he will undo Trump-era exemptions to gender identity nondiscrimination laws.

The order, released in a blast of 17 directives aimed at undoing former President Donald Trump’s policies, requires all entities under federal control to forgo discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Referencing the landmark Supreme Court decision Bostock v. Clayton County, which interpreted Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to protect gay and transgender people in the workplace, Biden’s team said his executive order would enforce that ruling on the government.

Biden’s announcement came after he voiced support for the Equality Act, a bill that has circulated through Congress for several years, which, if passed, would apply much of the content of his order more broadly. Several states have already passed their own versions of the Equality Act, most recently in Virginia, where the requirements have already drawn a challenge from religious liberty advocates.

Mike Pence Is Skipping Trump’s Farewell Event to Be With Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Mike Pence is not expected to attend President Trump’s send-off event on Inauguration Day.

Pence is planning to attend Mass with President-elect Joe Biden in the morning before they head to Biden’s inauguration ceremony at the Capitol. A source familiar with the discussions told the Washington Examiner that logistics will prevent the vice president from also being at the departure ceremony for his boss. The same is expected of congressional leaders Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, according to Axios.

Trump is set to fly out of the White House early on Inauguration Day before attending the military send-off at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and leaving aboard Air Force One for Florida some time after 8 a.m. In a break with tradition, Trump said he will not attend the inauguration of his successor.

Trump Wasn’t at the Inauguration to Hand Biden the Nuclear ‘Football.’ The Transfer Happened Differently for the Very First Time.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Traditionally the nuclear “football” — the heavy briefcase that’s always with the president, who can use it to control America’s nuclear weapons — is handed off by the outgoing commander in chief to the incoming president at the inauguration, NBC News reported. . .

A military aide who carries the “football” remains physically close to the president, the network said, and is ready at a moment’s notice to commence the detailed process of putting the football to use. . .

More from NBC News:

A U.S. official said that a military aide will accompany Trump to Florida with one of the footballs and that Trump will retain sole authority to launch a nuclear strike until 11:59:59 a.m. Wednesday. Trump’s being physically out of Washington will not affect his launch authority or access to the football until noon. (There are multiple footballs that allow a president to launch a military strike while traveling.)

Another military aide with a second nuclear football will hand over the authority to Biden once he is sworn in, the official said, and the military aide with Trump will bring the football back to Washington.

Nancy Pelosi: Donald Trump Could Be ‘Accessory to Murder’ After Capitol Riots

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said former President Donald Trump might be an “accessory to murder” in conjunction with the riots at the U.S. Capitol this month.

In an MSNBC interview that aired Tuesday night, the House speaker accused Trump of inciting the deadly riot at the Capitol on January 6, which left at least five people dead including a U.S. Capitol Police officer.

“President’s words are important, they weigh a ton,” Pelosi said of Trump. “And if you’re Donald Trump talking to these people, they believe it, and they used his words to come here.” . . .

“When we talk about, ‘Did any of our colleagues collaborate?’ Well, that remains to be seen,” Pelosi said.

“We have to get the evidence of that. And if they did, they would be accessory to the crime. And the crime, in some cases, was murder. And this president is an accessory to that crime because he instigated that insurrection that caused those deaths and this destruction,” she added.

Dumped: Sidney Powell Releases Her ‘Kraken’ Suit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sidney Powell, the high-profile attorney who vowed to “release the Kraken” in a lawsuit alleging widespread fraud in Georgia resulting in a presidential victory for Joe Biden, has voluntarily dropped her legal action less than 24 hours before Biden’s inauguration.

In a motion filed at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, Powell and other attorneys agreed with defendants including Gov. Brian Kemp and Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger to have the case dismissed.

“This civil action brings to light a massive election fraud,” her original lawsuit had indicated.

“I feel very optimistic the truth will get out,” Powell had said in November concerning her actions trying to prove fraud helped steal the election away from President Trump. “Of course, everybody on the face of the earth now is trying to suppress it, including people in our own government.

“But I won’t quit until it’s out and (we) release the Kraken,” she said, invoking a line from the mythological monster fantasy film “Clash of the Titans.” (Read more from “Dumped: Sidney Powell Releases Her ‘Kraken’ Suit” HERE)

Trump Pardons Ex-Strategist Steve Bannon

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump pardoned former chief strategist Steve Bannon in the final hours of his White House term as part of a flurry of clemency action that benefited more than 140 people, including rap performers, ex-members of Congress and other allies of him and his family.

The last-minute clemency, announced after midnight on Wednesday, follows separate waves of pardons over the past month for Trump associates convicted in the FBI’s Russia investigation as well as for the father of his son-in-law.

Taken together, the actions underscore the president’s willingness, all the way through his four years in the White House, to flex his constitutional powers in ways that defy convention and explicitly aid his friends and supporters. (Read more from “Trump Pardons Ex-Strategist Steve Bannon” HERE)
