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.

Biden Nomination Would Be Pentagon’s Most Senior Openly Transgender Official

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden will nominate a transgender retired Navy commander to oversee readiness at the Pentagon, the White House said Friday.

If confirmed as assistant secretary of Defense for readiness, Shawn Skelly would be the highest ever ranking openly transgender defense official.

Skelly, a former Navy aviator, most recently served on Biden’s Pentagon transition team.

[He] is also the co-founder and vice president of Out in National Security, which advocates for increased representation of LGBT people in the national security workforce.

[His] nomination comes after Biden reversed the Trump administration’s ban on most transgender service members. Late last month, the Pentagon released its new rules allowing open service by transgender troops, essentially reverting to the Obama administration’s open service policy.

Biden’s 100 Day Approval the Third-Lowest Since 1945

/1 Comment/in , /by

Joe Biden’s approval rating sits at 52% as he nears his 100th day in office this week, a historically low number for a new president.

The only two presidents in the last seven decades who earned a lower 100 Day approval rating than Biden are Donald Trump, who earned 42%, and Gerald Ford, who earned 48% after he took over for Richard Nixon. Every other president since 1945 has broken the 50% mark or far surpassed it. . .

According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll taken April 18-21, just over half of American adults approve of Biden’s job as president overall so far. Of those who approve, 34% say they strongly approve and 18% say they somewhat approve.

The ratings exhibit an increasing partisan divide with an overall decrease in approval in the last two decades compared to the rest of the millennium. (Read more from “Biden’s 100 Day Approval the Third-Lowest Since 1945” HERE)

GOP Infrastructure Plan Nixes Far-Left Wishlist

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Republicans on Thursday have formally countered President Joe Biden’s $2.25 trillion proposal at $568 billion.

The proposal maintains the 21 percent corporate tax rate and current state and local tax (SALT) deductions, opposing Biden’s tax hike to 28 percent and Senate Democrats’ proposal of 25 percent. The initiative also includes raising “taxes on those making more than $400,000 a year,” Axios reported.

Moreover, the Republican initiative focuses on traditional infrastructure items, such as roads, bridges, water storage, broadband, and ports. The plan does not include the Democrats’ “Orwellian campaign” that seeks to relabel many far-left policies as “infrastructure.” . . .

Meanwhile, Biden’s $2.25 proposal hit another wall Wednesday when Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) said he would like to see bipartisanship on the measure. “I would hope to see Democrats and Republicans agreeing on infrastructure – infrastructure by itself,” he told reporters.

“It won’t be the $2.3 trillion; that, I can tell you,” Manchin said. (Read more from “GOP Infrastructure Plan Nixes Far-Left Wishlist” HERE)

Biden Administration Bans the Phrase Illegal Alien

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Monday, President Biden’s acting directors of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) distributed memoranda that once again show how out of touch the Administration is. In the middle of the worst border crisis in decades, with rampant abuse of the asylum system and record numbers of border apprehensions, they decided to take action to ban officers from using the phrase “illegal alien.”

This gesture speaks volumes. To the Biden administration, politically correct terminology is more important than securing the border. At a time when morale among ICE and Border Patrol officers is flagging, their political overlords signal the Administration’s disdain for the very laws that those officers have devoted their careers to enforcing.

The move also displays the legal ignorance of the Biden administration. The term “illegal alien” is not a derogatory term invented by those of us who favor border enforcement. It is a legal phrase that has long been found in federal law. You can find examples at 8 U.S.C. § 1356(r)(3)(ii) (“expenses associated with the detention of illegal aliens”); 8 U.S.C. § 1366(1) (“the number of illegal aliens incarcerated”); and 8 U.S.C. § 1252c (“to arrest and detain certain illegal aliens”).

In contrast, the politically-correct phrase that the Biden Administration is ordering officers to use—“undocumented migrant”—is found nowhere in federal law. Moreover, “undocumented migrant” is a contradiction in terms. Calling an illegal alien an undocumented migrant is like calling a thief an undocumented owner. There is no missing document, and there cannot be one. (Read more from “Biden Administration Bans the Phrase Illegal Alien” HERE)
