Biden Targets ‘Extremist’ Trump Allies as Democratic Threat in Fraught Political Moment

By Reuters. U.S. President Joe Biden charged Republican allies of Donald Trump with undermining the country’s democracy and urged voters on Thursday to reject extremism ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Biden accused lawmakers and others devoted to the Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda led by former U.S. President Trump as willing to overturn democratic elections, ignore the Constitution and “determined to take this country backwards” to a time without rights to abortion, privacy, contraception or same-sex marriage.

“Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” Biden said. “As I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.”

The prime-time speech in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American democracy, marked a sharp turn for Biden as midterm congressional elections approach.

Aides say the president is increasingly concerned about anti-democratic trends in the Republican Party, and sees a need to jump into this year’s election fight and recast the stakes of his own 2024 re-election bid.

‘It’s Wrong’: CNN Blasts Biden for Using Military as Backdrop for ‘Battle’ Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

It didn’t take long after Biden finished his rancid, combative remarks in Philadelphia for the reviews of the latest divisive screed from “Mr. Unity” to come in, and they predictably were not favorable from those among the 70 million Americans he declared were hatefully working to bring about the end of democracy:

In addition to the caustic content of Biden’s message — vote for the people I say or you’re a fascist — the staging was also of note, and not just the ominous red hue that bathed the sides of Independence Hall. No, the two Marines standing at attention behind the president grabbed viewers’ eyes. . .

Meanwhile, even CNN talent was unnerved by the display. Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff Zeleny took issue with the staging of the Marines behind Biden for such a political speech, calling it a “break with White House traditions.”

Emails Show Biden Admin Colluded With Facebook, Twitter to Censor Americans

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration colluded with social media companies to censor Americans in an effort that involved at least 45 federal officials at the White House, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, State Department, Treasury Department, U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and more.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said in a statement on Thursday that a lawsuit filed earlier this year forced the Department of Justice (DOJ) to reveal emails exposing at least 45 federal officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), and the Office of the Surgeon General who “communicate[d] with social media platforms about ‘misinformation’ and censorship.’”

Among the DOJ’s disclosures is an email from a senior Facebook official to the Surgeon General, which states, “I know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the White House expects from us on misinformation going forward.”

Another email shows that Twitter scheduled a meeting to debrief top White House officials on “vaccine misinformation” and “ways the White House (and our COVID experts) can partner in product work.” (Read more from “Emails Show Biden Admin Colluded With Facebook, Twitter to Censor Americans” HERE)

Biden Plans to Give Federal Government Workers a Raise in 2023

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden is planning to give federal employees a substantial pay raise in 2023.

In letters to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Vice President Kamala Harris in her capacity as President of the Senate, Biden announced his plans to give federal government employees an across-the-board pay raise of 4.1%, with an average locality-based pay raise of 0.5%; meaning some 2.1 million federal employees will receive raises of 4.6%, on average. The pay raises will take effect on January 1, 2023.

“Title 5 [of the] United States Code, authorizes me to implement alternative plans for pay adjustments for civilian Federal employees covered by the General Schedule and certain other pay systems if, because of ‘national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare,’ I view the increases that would otherwise take effect as inappropriate,” Biden wrote in the letter. “Accordingly, I have determined that it is appropriate to exercise my authority to set alternative pay adjustments for 2023. Specifically, I have determined that for 2023, the across-the-board base pay increase will be 4.1 percent and locality pay increases will average 0.5 percent, resulting in an overall average increase of 4.6 percent for civilian Federal employees, consistent with the assumption in my 2023 Budget.”

Under federal law, if the president wishes to institute a pay raise above and beyond the normal raise, he must submit his plan to Congress by September 1 of the preceding year, including the reasons for instituting the raise. In considering any such raises, the president needs to consider “pertinent economic measures,” including the national GDP, the unemployment rate, the budget deficit, the Consumer Price Index, and the Producer Price Index.

Biden cited a continuing recruitment crisis as the reason for the raise. “Federal agencies have witnessed growing recruitment and retention challenges with Federal positions experiencing eroded compensation,” Biden wrote.

Joe Biden, Don’t Repeat Your Afghanistan Blunders in Iraq

/0 Comments/in , /by

No one who’s been following the news in Iraq since last year’s inconclusive parliamentary elections should be surprised to see violence currently erupting in Baghdad.

For months, various political factions have jostled unsuccessfully for a governing majority. Muqtada al Sadr, the volatile cleric who fueled much of the bloodshed in Iraq after the U.S. invasion, controls the most seats but not enough to form a governing coalition. This past weekend, he decided to turn up the heat.

On Saturday, al Sadr set a 72-hour time limit to resolve the crisis and insisted that all political actors leave the public stage to give way to a new generation. If this failed, he suggested violence would be the last recourse — including the forcible closure of Iraq’s oil fields. On Monday, he made good on the threat as the Green Zone erupted in fighting, and some of Sadr’s followers occupied oil facilities. While Sadr claims he is trying to restore order, he has clearly demonstrated the capability to create violent chaos in Baghdad, and what comes next is anyone’s guess.

While Americans have excellent reason to be wary of the endless political dysfunction and endemic corruption in Iraq, this threat brings into sharp relief the twin realities that demand attention: the potential for a dramatically heightened global energy crisis and the violent malign influence of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Some three and a quarter million barrels of oil a day flow out of Iraq. Major political disruptions will carry over and cause significant supply disruptions just as the world continues to struggle with international restrictions on Russian oil.

Biden Ramps Up Rhetoric Against ‘MAGA Republicans’ In Speech On Crime

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden ramped up his rhetoric against “MAGA Republicans” during a Tuesday afternoon speech in Pennsylvania.

Biden traveled to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to speak about how his “Safe America Plan” will help reduce “gun crime and save lives,” according to a schedule provided by the White House. A key portion of the president’s speech was aimed at the GOP, with Biden slamming the defense of January 6 rioters and calls by some within the party to defund the FBI following the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

“You hear some of my friends in the other team talking about political violence and how it’s necessary. Think about this now. Did any of you think … you’d ever be in an election where we talk about, it’s appropriate to use force political violence in America. It’s never appropriate, never. Period. Never, never, never,” Biden said.

“To this day, the MAGA Republicans in Congress defend the mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6. Defend them. You all saw it,” the president added.

Biden continued on to directly address his “MAGA Republicans friends in Congress,” arguing that they can’t tell him they “support law enforcement if you won’t condemn what happened” on January 6. (Read more from “Biden Ramps up Rhetoric Against ‘MAGA Republicans’ in Speech on Crime” HERE)

Republicans Gear Up to Impeach Biden in GOP Majority House

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several times already, firebrand Republicans have introduced articles of impeachment against Joe Biden in the U.S. House.

There’s been literally zero chance that they would advance, given the lockstep control Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi exercises over her party.

But widely expected by analysts is that the GOP will retake that majority in the 2022 midterms.

And the Daily Mail is documenting that GOP members already “are signaling that they’ll make impeaching President Joe Biden a priority if their party wins control of the House.”

“The last year and a half has seen multiple GOP lawmakers accuse Biden of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ primarily over the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal and the continuing crisis on the southern border with Mexico,” the report said.

Wait, Did Biden Just Promise to Never Let Another Election Get Stolen Again? (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Despite being told that elections were safe, secure and beyond corruption, President Joe Biden just said the quiet part aloud, making the Democrat party want to go into hiding once again.

Last week, Biden told a group of rally goers that Democrats have a plan in place to “make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again.”

“If we elect two more senators, we keep the House and Democrats, we’re going to get a lot of unfinished business we’re going to get done. Folks, look, we’ll codify Roe v. Wade. We’ll ban, we’ll ban assault weapons. We’ll protect Social Security and Medicare. We’ll pass universal pre-K. We’ll restore the Childcare Tax Credit. We’ll protect voting rights. We’ll pass election reform and make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again!,” Biden said to the crowd.

But wait, which stolen election is he talking about? . . .

If I heard correctly, I believe that Biden just admitted to stealing the election away from his predecessor. (Read more from “Wait, Did Biden Just Promise to Never Let Another Election Get Stolen Again?” HERE)

Biden’s New White House Twitter Strategy Highlights His Administration’s Incompetence

By Daily Wire. This week, leftists were delighted to see “mean tweets” return as the official White House Twitter account blasted Republicans for being critical of President Joe Biden’s student debt amnesty despite taking COVID-era Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP) loans that were also forgiven.

The only problem with that social media strategy is that PPP loans were completely different from college loans. In an obvious way, the new tactic highlights his administration’s incompetence.

On Wednesday, Biden announced that he was enacting massive debt cancellation — paid for in part by millions of Americans who didn’t attend college, nevermind take out student loans. Many GOP officials voiced concern that this was simply a transfer of wealth from the working class to the white-collar class.

Folks like Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Mike Kelly (R-PA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and more all made similar comments, saying it was unfair for tradesmen and non-college degree holders to bail out post-grads.

In turn, the White House snarkily responded by posting evidence that those individuals and others had received PPP loans and had their debts forgiven.

Top Dem Torches Biden’s Student Loan Debt Forgiveness Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Paul Begala, who served former President Bill Clinton as a top adviser, fiercely condemned on Sunday President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive student loan debt.

Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Begala not only called Biden’s plan “bad policy,” but he rebuked it as “bad politics.”

According to Begala, instead of forgiving debts that Americans freely enter, the money that will be used to execute Biden’s plan would be better served helping improve the lives of Americans stuck in under-resourced and under-privileged situations.

“For that amount of money, you could fund free pre-K for every 3 and 4-year-old for 10 years,” Begala said. “You would do a lot more good for poor people, communities of color, and the underprivileged by doing pre-K. You could forgive all medical debt, which, unlike student debt, is not freely entered into.”

“I’m a progressive. I want to help folks,” he added. “But I think this is terrible policy.” (Read more from “Top Dem Torches Biden’s Student Loan Debt Forgiveness Plan” HERE)
