Pollster Says Biden’s Approval Numbers Are Horrific

/0 Comments/in , /by

A noted pollster is warning that Joe Biden’s approval numbers, though slightly positive, are a dark omen because they are significantly below most recent presidents.

“The fact he’s only in the low 50s right now is a really bad sign for Joe Biden,” pollster John McLaughlin said in a report by Just the News.

He said the problem is that the president is governing as an extreme leftist – after having promised the American people he would be a moderate.

“He’s taken what should have been very popular issues — COVID relief, infrastructure — that Americans overwhelmingly support and turned those into radical left-wing pieces of legislation,” said McLaughlin said in the report. “Republicans can’t wait to get into election season and talk about some of the things that are in those bills … expanding the welfare state, tax increases, basically open borders. That’s not where the American people are right now.” (Read more from “Pollster Says Biden’s Approval Numbers Are Horrific” HERE)

DOJ Targets Journalist Investigating the Biden Family

/0 Comments/in , /by

As part of an investigation into former President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, the Biden Justice Department is seizing communications between the former mayor and a journalist investigating President Joe Biden’s business dealings with Ukraine.

Agents from the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office and the FBI raided the New York residence of Giuliani early Wednesday morning. The investigation stems from at least a two-year-old probe into potential crimes of federal lobbying laws. Federal investigators seized Giuliani’s electronic devices.

The warrant presented, however, according to Giuliani’s lawyer, Robert Costello, raises questions surrounding the scope and motivation behind the investigation, where prosecutors began issuing subpoenas around the same time of Trump’s first impeachment inquiry launched by Democrats centered on conduct in Ukraine in 2019.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “Costello said the warrant sought communications between Mr. Giuliani and individuals including John Solomon, a columnist who was in communication with Mr. Giuliani about his effort to push for Ukrainian investigations of President Biden before he was elected.” (Read more from “DOJ Targets Journalist Investigating the Biden Family” HERE)

More Lies: After Canceling the Keystone Pipeline, Biden Claims to Care About Creating Jobs

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. President Joe Biden addressed a Joint Session of Congress for the first time on Wednesday night. Speaking to a historically empty lower chamber, Biden claimed to be focused on job creation. The president said that he sees climate change as an avenue to create well-paying jobs, just 100 days after he canceled the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline by revoking the permit previously given.

Mitch McConnell Calls Biden Speech ‘Lengthy Liberal Daydream’

By Yahoo News. Giving his reaction to Joe Biden’s address to the joint session of Congress, Mitch McConnell called the speech a “lengthy liberal daydream” that failed to include practical plans.

Speaking on the Senate floor the morning after the president’s remarks, the Senate minority leader began by saying that Mr Biden is a “likeable person” that many of those present remember serving with in the upper chamber of Congress. . .

“That was the backdrop for last night’s speech. But instead of practical plans to fulfill these basic responsibilities, America heard a lengthy liberal daydream, said Mr McConnell. (Read more from “Mitch McConnell Calls Biden Speech ‘Lengthy Liberal Daydream’” HERE)

Biden Unveils Extreme $1.8T ‘Families’ Plan; This Is How Biden Intends to Tax the Middle Class

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Biden on Wednesday rolled out the blueprint for another massive tax-and-spend bill, dubbed the American Families Plan, which would boost federal spending by $1.8 trillion through tax hikes on high-income Americans and investors.

The package includes $511 billion for education, including universal preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds and free community college, and $225 billion for child care, including a subsidy that would cap expenses for most workers at 7 percent of income. The plan calls for $225 billion to subsidize 12 weeks of paid parental and sick leave and $45 billion more for food stamps and school food programs.

About $800 billion would go toward tax credits, including $200 billion for ObamaCare users. The plan would make permanent the recent expansion of tax credits for people with children — from $2,000 per year to $3,000, or $3,600 for children under age 6.

But in a major blow to New York-area Democrats including Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the proposal omits repeal of the 2017 SALT deduction cap of $10,000 per person, which hammered residents of higher-tax states by preventing them from deducting state tax payments on their federal tax returns.

So, That’s How Biden Intends to Tax the Middle Class

By Townhall. Joe Biden says there will be no tax hikes for the middle class. Only the wealthy will pay more. It’s the same tired line that everyone knows is a lie. Given the ruinously expensive agenda that the Left wants to enact, the only logical way to pay for it is for EVERYONE’s taxes to go up. Does anyone really think the super-wealthy can fund a single-payer system for everyone? And that’s just one item in their left-wing goodie bag from hell. Well, Kelly Johnston wrote an op-ed for InsideSources to explain one tax hike that will wreck the middle class and noted how retirement accounts and pensions could be next:

You will be told that the tax plan only taxes the wealthy. Untrue. Corporations do not ultimately pay taxes – they collect them. Their “promise” won’t include intergenerational transfers of property and assets, like houses, family businesses, family farms, and stock.

Meet stepped-up basis. Here’s how that works. Say you’re a 60-year-old almost-retiree whose 90-year-old parent just passed away. You are bequeathed their Florida home acquired in 1980 for $100,000. Its value is now $500,000. Hopefully, it won’t be complicated by a reverse mortgage or isn’t burdened by other forms of leveraged debt. You sell it for $500,000. Thanks to “stepped-up basis,” you should owe no federal capital gains tax on the sale.

But what happens if all this happens after Democrats eliminate this so-called “loophole?” You’ll owe capital gains taxes on the gain in value since the property was purchased 41 years ago, most of which is probably inflation. That’s a likely 20 percent tax hit on the “gain” of $400,000 – some $80,000 to Uncle Sam. For people with incomes over $1 million, Biden may raise Capital Gains taxes to match the highest personal income tax rate of 39.5 percent.

Did You Catch Biden’s Bizarre Comments About Vaccine ‘Equity’?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yesterday President Joe Biden officially informed Americans about common sense guidelines already being practiced: they don’t have to wear masks outdoors.

But during his full remarks on the status of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, Biden bizarrely celebrated more “seniors of color” being vaccinated than whites.

“Two-thirds of our seniors are fully vaccinated. More than 80 percent of our seniors have had a least one shot. That effort resulted in a drop of 80 percent in deaths in seniors. A 70 percent drop in hopsitlizations,” Biden said. “By the way, based on reported data a proportion of seniors who have been vaccinated is essentially equal between white and seniors of color. I said from the beginning we were going to fight this virus with equity, equity for all. In fact, if I’m not mistaken there are more Latinos and African-American seniors that have been vaccinated as a percentage than white seniors. These numbers are a sign of process on that front as well.” (Read more from “Did You Catch Biden’s Bizarre Comments About Vaccine ‘Equity’?” HERE)

Report: Biden to Deploy 650 More Troops to Afghanistan

/0 Comments/in , /by

Afghan news outlets, citing CNN, reported Tuesday that the administration of President Joe Biden would soon deploy another 650 troops to Afghanistan, where Biden expanded the U.S. presence through at least September in an order this month.

Afghanistan’s Khaama Press and Pajhwok Afghan News reported the alleged troop number increase as meant to protect American forces as they withdraw. CNN claimed the news originated with “several defense officials,” none of whom went on the record.

“The deployment was approved by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin late last week as part of a package of military assets being sent to the country to facilitate the US withdrawal, which is due to be complete by September 11,” CNN alleged.

Former President Donald Trump arranged an agreement with the Taliban, which the United States has been fighting in Afghanistan for two decades, last year that would have resulted in a full American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan by May 1. The deal required the Taliban to cut ties to foreign terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and no longer attack American forces. Biden broke the deal this month, disregarding Trump’s May 1 deadline and claiming all American forces would leave by September 11, the 20th anniversary of the jihadist attacks on the U.S. homeland that prompted the Afghanistan invasion.

The Taliban denounced Biden’s breach of the agreement and asserted their jihadists now had no reason to abide by their vow not to attack American forces between May and September. (Read more from “Report: Biden to Deploy 650 More Troops to Afghanistan” HERE)

White House Makes Pathetic Excuse For Why Kamala Harris Hasn’t Visited the Border

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris, charged with leading the Biden administration’s efforts to manage the ongoing immigration crisis, has not visited the U.S.-Mexico border because her focus is on “root causes” of migration and she’s primarily “working on a diplomatic level.”

The vice president is facing mounting scrutiny this week over her failure to visit the border or even so much as hold a news conference about the ongoing crisis in the more than a month time frame since being tasked by President Joe Biden with “stemming the migration.”

An unprecedented surge on the border in recent months has resulted in thousands of unaccompanied minors being held in cramped, cage-like facilities and tens of thousands of adult migrants being released directly into the U.S., presumably without court dates under the administration’s catch-and-release policy.

The border surge, which has overwhelmed the unprepared Biden administration, is undoubtedly what spurred on Harris’ appointment. Yet now the White House seems intent on reframing the Harris’ role so as not to draw attention to the border.

Biden to Sign Executive Order Raising Federal Minimum Wage

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden is expected to sign an executive order Tuesday that would raise the minimum wage for federal contractors and tipped employees working on government contracts to $15 an hour, senior administration officials said.

The raise from $10.95 an hour would begin in January, and agencies would have to implement the measure no later than March. Biden has signed a separate order to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour for federal employees.

The new order also directs federal agencies to raise the tipped minimum hourly wage to $15 by 2024 and to ensure that tipped employees working on federal contracts earn the same minimum wage as other employees on federal contracts.

The new order raises the minimum wage to the same level for federal contract workers with disabilities, and it includes a cost-of-living increase every year beginning in 2022. (Read more from “Biden to Sign Executive Order Raising Federal Minimum Wage” HERE)

BIDEN’S BORDER CRISIS: CBP Admits What’s Behind Illegal Alien Influx; Former Trump Officials Push Biden to Bring In More Refugees; Kamala STILL Has No Plans to Visit Border

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. President Joe Biden’s immigration policies are driving the migrant surge and ensuing border crisis, according to a Customs and Border Protection intelligence alert that was issued earlier this month.

Despite the largest wave of migrants in two decades overwhelming American immigration resources, Biden’s administration has refused to acknowledge the humanitarian crisis unfolding at the southern U.S. border. They have, literally, refused to call the situation a “crisis.”

Instead, the White House blames problems in the Northern Triangle region of Central America — which includes Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador — for the push of migrants north to America.

“The president does not feel that children coming to our border seeking refuge from violence, economic hardships, and other dire circumstances is a crisis,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said this week. “He does feel that the crisis in Central America — the dire circumstances that many are fleeing from — that that is a situation we need to spend our time or effort on and we need to address it if we’re going to prevent more of an influx of migrants from coming in years to come.

Former Bush, Trump Officials Lobby Joe Biden to Bring More Refugees to U.S.

By Breitbart. Former administration officials who worked for Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump are lobbying President Joe Biden to bring more refugees to the United States. . .

Biden had kept the refugee cap at 15,000 for this fiscal year but following backlash from the refugee and migration lobby, as well as Democrats, his administration reversed course and now says they plan to increase the number of refugees admitted to the U.S.

In a letter to Biden this month, former Bush and Trump administration officials are asking Biden to surge the number of refugees admitted this fiscal year by more than 316 percent.

The letter states:

We are writing in response to your administration’s recent decision to maintain the historically low refugee cap of 15,000 with the expectation that you will increase it by May 15, 2021. We are deeply disappointed that U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) has not yet been fortified, and we encourage your Administration to be more transparent and forthcoming with information regarding increases to the USRAP. [Emphasis added]

‘I Can’t Get to Central America Soon Enough’: Kamala Says Migrant Surge Will ‘Not Be Solved Overnight’ as She Prepares to Meet With Central American Leaders – but Still Makes No Mention of a Trip to the Border

By Daily Mail. Kamala Harris said in a Sunday interview that she hasn’t visited Central America in her capacity as border ‘czar’ yet because of coronavirus complications.

‘Yes, we’re working on a plan to get there, we’re working through COVID issues,’ Harris told CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ as she pushes her position on addressing ‘root causes’ in Northern Triangle countries that cause citizens to flee to the U.S. ‘I can’t get there soon enough.’

‘That is a big part of what is going on,’ the vice president continued.

Earlier this month, Harris said that she is planning a visit ‘soon’ to Guatemala with a stop in Mexico. Later her administration said the trip is being planned for June.

She said, however, that she will not be visiting the border during that trip because Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is in charge of addressing the crisis there.

Revealing Biden’s Hatred of Humanity and Religion

/1 Comment/in , , /by

On Tuesday, April 20, 2021, President Biden and his administration filed an appeal in federal court seeking to force all doctors and hospitals in the United States, regardless of religious conviction, to provide transgender surgeries to all patients who request such services. . .

This is not just a story about the Democratic Party’s undeniable disdain for religion and its ongoing war against Judeo-Christian morality. It is not just another sad tale of the progressive left’s relentless attack on our Constitution and its enumerated First Amendment rights. No, this is not just another chapter in the ongoing saga of cultural elites presuming to push their moral nihilism on all of American society. There is another common theme here that is even more disturbing and sinister. . .

At its core, Mr. Biden’s attack on Christian doctors and Catholic hospitals is a story about the left’s hatred of people. It is a story about misogynists who deny women are real. It is a story about misandrists who declare all men to be toxic. It is a story about misopedists who seek to disavow children of their innocence and even take their lives. At rock bottom, this is a story about misanthropy: the general hatred, dislike and contempt of the human species, so much so, that you will deny the very definition of what it means to be a human being.

It is now an irrefutable fact. The Democrats and their socialist Squad hate humanity. They hate boys so much that they teach them it’s better to be a girl, and a little nip and tuck can make it so. They hate girls so much that they tell them they can no longer have their own showers, toilets and sports. They hate women so much that they deny the female is even a fact. They hate men so much that they declare masculinity to be a social disease. . .

Maybe these champions of science should stop denying science, and maybe in their march against hate, they should admit it’s nothing short of hateful to force Christian physicians to castrate little boys and Catholic hospitals to sexually mutilate adolescent girls.
