Biden Admin Nepotism ‘Royally Sucks’ and May Be Illegal, Says Ex-US Ethics Chief

/0 Comments/in , /by

The US government’s former ethics chief is slamming the Biden administration for a potentially “illegal” nepotism spree, saying that it “royally sucks” and is “a real ‘f— you’” to ethical governance.

Walter Shaub, director of the US Office of Government Ethics from 2013 to 2017, gained fame for frequently faulting the Trump administration, but turned his fire on President Biden on Friday.

“I’m sorry, I know some folks don’t like hearing any criticism of him. But this royally sucks. I’m disgusted. A lot of us worked hard to tee him up to restore ethics to government and believed the promises. This is a real ‘f— you’ to us—and government ethics,” Shaub tweeted.

Shaub was responding to reports that many children, spouses and siblings of top Biden aides got official jobs — despite harsh criticism of President Donald Trump for naming his daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as unpaid White House advisers.

GOP Demand Answers After Biden Admin Lifts Iran Sanctions Without Consulting Congress

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last week, the Biden administration gave Iran what it wanted. Without consulting Congress, the administration lifted sanctions on multiple former Iranian officials and businesses, thereby relaxing U.S. pressure on the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism.

Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee weren’t amused. On the contrary, they continue to assert that the administration chose not to consult Congress about the lifted sanctions in order to intentionally bypass legislative oversight. These Republicans are now demanding an explanation.

The State Department announced the sanctions were lifted “as a result of a verified change in status or behavior on the part of the sanctioned parties” and that “[t]hese actions demonstrate [America’s] commitment to lifting sanctions in the event of a change in status or behavior by sanctioned persons.” The Treasury Department echoed this announcement. Meanwhile, the State Department imposed new sanctions on “an Iranian-backed supply network” to the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

While the Biden administration contends that the lifted sanctions are unrelated to continued negotiations with the Iranian regime in Vienna, Rep. Claudia Tenney and some of her colleagues say the Biden administration is lying. They demand that the State Department share its internal plans.

Biden Dumping Illegal Alien Youth Across Nation Without Notice

/0 Comments/in , /by

With little or no notice to local officials, the Biden administration is placing in towns across the nation young illegal aliens who are part of the massive surge in border crossings.

Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., told the Washington Examiner’s “Secrets” column the development is the “reckless” result of Biden’s effort to erase President Trump’s immigration legacy.

“The administration’s only giving lip service to our border crisis,” he said. “They think that simply asking migrants not to illegally enter our country is sufficient when clearly it’s not, and the continued crippling influx at the border proves it’s not.”

Vice President Kamala Harris’ refusal to go to the border despite being designated Biden’s border czar is further proof, the senator said. . .

Noting a 45% surge in unaccompanied illegal alien minors being sent to Indiana, he described the situation he recently observed at the border. (Read more from “Biden Dumping Illegal Alien Youth Across Nation Without Notice” HERE)

Trump Will Visit Border Since Kamala, Biden Won’t

/0 Comments/in , /by

Trump proved himself to be a branding genius and excellent judge of popular sentiment on Tuesday, June 15th, when he released a statement saying that he will visit the border since Kamala and Joe won’t. Here’s what he said:

“I have accepted the invitation of Texas Governor Greg Abbott to join him on an official visit to our Nation’s decimated Southern Border on Wednesday, June 30, 2021. The Biden Administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in U.S history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in U.S history. It’s an unmitigated disaster zone.

“We went from detain-and-remove to catch-and-release. We went from having border security that was the envy of the world to a lawless border that is now pitied around the world. Biden and Harris have handed control of our border over to cartels, criminals, and coyotes. Drug dealers, MS-13 gang members, human smugglers, sex traffickers, and the criminal elements of the world now have free reign. Hospitals and schools are getting crushed and public health is being sacrificed all in service of a radical left anti-borders agenda. Our brave border agents and courageous ICE officers have been illegally stopped from doing their jobs. Our Nation is now one giant sanctuary city where even dangerous criminals are being cut loose and set free inside the U.S interior on a daily basis.”

Democrats Design Fallback Far-Left $6 Trillion Infrastructure Plan Without GOP

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Democrats and Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are designing a $6 trillion fallback infrastructure plan for reconciliation if the $1.2 trillion bipartisan plan fails.

“Senate Democrats are weighing spending as much as $6 trillion on their own infrastructure package if the chamber’s bipartisan talks fail, according to two sources familiar with the matter,” Politico reported.

“The bipartisan talks could impact us, but we’re going to keep going,” Sanders said Wednesday about the reported scheme of shoving “$2.5 trillion would go through the Finance Committee, $185 billion through the Energy Committee, and almost $500 billion through the Environment and Public Works Committee.”

On Wednesday, a bipartisan group of 21 Senators released a $1.2 trillion proposal in which tax increases are excluded, presumably along with global warming initiatives.

The $6 trillion fallback plan may become useful if negotiations over the bipartisan plan fail due to far-left Democrats’ demands of including tax hikes and “climate change” measures. (Read more from “Democrats Design Fallback Far-Left $6 Trillion Infrastructure Plan Without GOP” HERE)

Biden’s DOJ to States: Bans on Transgender Youth Health Care Are Unconstitutional

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday filed court documents saying recently passed laws in Arkansas and West Virginia restricting transgender rights are unconstitutional.

The legal briefs, shared on Twitter by The Huffington Post, argue that the state laws violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

The DOJ called the Arkansas law “dangerous governmental intrusion.” One of the provisions in the state law prevents doctors from performing gender reassignment surgeries.

“Rather than rely on the judgment of medical professionals and evidence-based treatment guidelines, Arkansas has inserted itself within one of the most confidential and personal of relationships: the physician-patient relationship,” the DOJ wrote.

Biden Announces His Number One National Security Strategy: Imprison Right Wing Extremists

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden’s administration on Tuesday unveiled a national security strategy that focuses exclusively on domestic terrorism, naming white supremacists and militia extremists as “the most persistent and lethal threats” to America among ideologies motivating domestic terrorists.

Continuing its broad effort to combat violence from homegrown extremists, the administration published the 32-page strategy and the president vowed to both address the violence and the factors that lead to domestic terrorism.

“We cannot ignore this threat or wish it away. Preventing domestic terrorism and reducing the factors that fuel it demand a multifaceted response across the Federal Government and beyond,” Biden said in the strategy’s introduction.

While domestic terrorist attacks have been a threat to the United States for centuries, officials with the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism said, a resurgence of the homegrown violence has been seen in recent years, including in the surge of attacks against Jews and the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas in 2019.

The domestic terrorists of today have a range of motivations, including racial or ethnic bigotry and anti-government sentiment. They can act alone or be part of small, informal groups. Some are part of larger networks. (Read more from “Biden Announces His Number One National Security Strategy: Imprison Right Wing Extremists” HERE)

Biden’s Ridiculous Claim: I ‘Such Outward Assault on Voting Rights’ Since ‘the Civil War’

/1 Comment/in , /by

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden spoke with reporters as he prepared to head back to the United States from Geneva, after speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Just before he left, Biden found a way to do one of his favorite things, which is throwing around ridiculous claims about election reform laws being passed around the country.

“I’ve never seen, including during — since the Civil War, such an outward assault on voting rights. I mean, just a flat assault. I didn’t anticipate that happening four years ago, but it’s happening now,” Biden claimed.

In discussing the events of January 6, with “people attacking and breaking down the doors of the United States Capitol,” Biden said that such events “reinforced what I’ve always known and what I got taught by my political science professors and by the senior members of the Senate that I admired when I got there: that every generation has to re-establish the basis of its fight for democracy,” which led him to throw out such a charge about this “outward assault on voting rights.” (Read more from “Biden’s Ridiculous Claim: I ‘Such Outward Assault on Voting Rights’ Since ‘the Civil War’ (VIDEO)” HERE)

Joe Biden Apologizes to Establishment Media Which Returns Favor Praising Performance at Summit With Putin; Putin Trolls Biden at Summit

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. The establishment media gushed over President Joe Biden’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday after Biden apologized for snapping at a CNN reporter during his solo press conference.

“I owe my last question an apology. I shouldn’t have — I shouldn’t have been such a wise guy with the last answer I gave. Anyway, thanks for being here,” he said in relation to a question offered by a CNN reporter concerning why Biden was confident Putin would change his behavior towards America.

“What the hell?… When did I say I was confident?” Biden snapped.

Back on the air, CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota then praised Biden for communicating clearly with Putin regarding cyber attacks.

“I didn’t know that President Biden would have to spell it explicitly what’s off limits, but he said that’s what he did,” she praised. (Read more from “Joe Biden Apologizes to Establishment Media Which Returns Favor Praising Performance at Summit With Putin” HERE)

Putin Trolls Biden at Summit

By Breitbart. Russian leader Vladimir Putin mocked America’s human rights record during a press conference Wednesday following his meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden by referring to the continued existence of the Guantánamo Bay detention facility, “secret CIA prisons,” and alleged assassinations of U.S. political leaders.

Putin was responding to a reporter who noted, “Americans are continuously using this rhetoric of political prisoners in Russia” and raising the issue of the many Russian dissidents and Putin rivals in the country who have been poisoned, imprisoned, or otherwise harmed in ways suggesting Putin regime involvement. The reporter also noted that Biden had referred to Putin previously as a “killer,” a term Biden did not defend during a separate press conference Tuesday.

“President Biden has indeed touched on the subject of human rights,” Putin said. “We have discussed harsh statements as well.”

Putin said he was “alright” with Biden’s explanation of the “killer” comment before making the case that, despite his extensive record of human rights abuses, America’s alleged sins were the true atrocities. (Read more from “Putin Trolls Biden at Summit” HERE)

Biden Approval Rating Drops

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s approval rating has dipped 6 points since April, according to a new poll, as Congress weighs his sprawling spending plans.

Biden drew positive marks from 48 percent of Americans in a Monmouth University poll published Wednesday, down from 54 percent who approved of the job he was doing in April.

The president’s approval rating has dropped among Democrats the past few months, as negotiations drag on over an infrastructure package, while it has increased among Republicans.

The latest survey found that 86 percent of Democrats approve of the job Biden is doing, down 9 points from April. Support among independents is also down, from 47 percent to 36 percent.

Meanwhile, support among Republicans jumped 8 points, from 11 percent to 19 percent. (Read more from “Biden Approval Rating Drops” HERE)
