Biden Administration Invokes Civil Rights Act to Stall Texas Highway Widening

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s Department of Transportation is invoking the Civil Rights Act to pause a highway project near Houston, a rare move that offers an early test of the administration’s willingness to wield federal power to address a long history of government-driven racial inequities.

DOT’s intervention follows complaints from local activists that the state’s proposed widening of Interstate 45 would displace an overwhelmingly Black and Hispanic community, including schools, places of worship and more than 1,000 homes and businesses.

It also comes as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has identified racial equity as a major priority for his department — after decades in which federal highway money has paid for projects that leveled minority and low-income communities.

Joe Biden Is About to Lock up a Lot of Black People

/0 Comments/in , /by

If the Biden administration is serious about cracking down on the supposed rise in anti-Asian American violence and bias, it’s going to have to take a break from all that racial “equity” it’s been hyping.

And it’s going to have to prepare itself to lock up a lot of black people (and maybe a few Hispanics). . .

The New York Times reported that part of Biden’s initiative will be “prioritizing prosecution of those who commit hate crimes” against people of Asian descent.

I guess that’s a good thing, but what happens when prioritizing the prosecution of anti-Asian hate crimes disproportionately affects the black community?

It will. Anyone tracking the sporadic incidents of violence against people of Asian descent lately will have noticed a pattern. The attackers are almost exclusively black men. (Read more from “Joe Biden Is About to Lock up a Lot of Black People” HERE)

Wrong Way: Jobless Claims Climb Under Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

New weekly jobless claims rose 61,000 to 719,000 for the week that ended March 27, the Department of Labor said Thursday.

Economists surveyed by Econoday had forecast a decline to 680,000 from the previous week’s initial estimate of 684,000. The previous week’s level was revised down by 26,000 from 684,000 to 658,000

Jobless claims can be volatile week to week so economists like to look at the four-week average. This fell to 719,000, a decrease of 10,500 from the previous week’s revised average. That is the lowest level for this average since March 14, 2020.

Continuing claims, which get reported with a week’s lag, fell to 3,794,000 in the week ended March 20, a decrease of 46,000 from the previous week. (Read more from “Wrong Way: Jobless Claims Climb Under Biden” HERE)

Biden Backs Calls to Move the MLB All-Star Game Out of Atlanta Over Georgia’s New Voting Law

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats and leftists have made no bones about their hatred for Georgia’s new voting law, which Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed last week. . .

Activists are pushing the league to move the All-Star game out of Atlanta — and they’ve got President Biden’s support. . .

MLBPA executive director Tony Clark reportedly said he “would look forward” to discussions regarding punishing the city over the new voting law by moving the game out of state. . .

“I think today’s professional athletes are acting incredibly responsibly,” Biden began. “I would strongly support them doing that.”

“People look to them; they’re leaders,” he continued, pointing to the social justice movements and woke culture that have dominated professional sports over the last few years. “Look at what happened with the NBA, as well. Look what’s happened across the board. The very people who were victimized the most are the people who are the leaders in these various sports, and it’s just not right.” (Read more from “Biden Backs Calls to Move the MLB All-Star Game Out of Atlanta Over Georgia’s New Voting Law” HERE)

Socialism Arrives in USA! Dems Set for Spending Spree With Biden’s Infrastructure Plan

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan, dubbed the American Jobs Plan, is not sufficient and “needs to be way bigger,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said on Tuesday prior to the proposal’s formal unveiling.

Biden is outlining his $2 trillion plan on Wednesday, which devotes roughly $174 billion to the electric vehicle market, $115 billion to modernize bridges, highways, and roads, $50 billion in semiconductor manufacturing and research, $25 billion in airports, $10 billion investment in enforcement to “ensure employers are providing workers with good jobs,” $10 billion investment for Civilian Climate Corps, and more, as Breitbart News highlighted.

Ocasio-Cortez, however, does not believe it is sufficient, as the $2 trillion proposal spreads out over the next decade. . .

Biden is expected to formally outline the proposal in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania sometime Wednesday afternoon. The measure, if passed, would increase the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent, soaring over the 25 percent corporate tax rate of Communist China.

Illegals First Agenda: Biden’s Border Crisis Is Displacing Foster Kids

/1 Comment/in , /by

As President Joe Biden and his administration continue to downplay the surge of illegal aliens, many of them unaccompanied minors, at the U.S.-Mexico border, Americans across the nation are grappling with the changes and effects the Democrat’s disastrous border crisis is having in their communities. . .

Last week, a family located in a suburb of Seattle, more than 1,000 miles from the southern U.S. border, was asked to vacate the home they used to foster approximately 20 children over the last seven years because the nonprofit that provided it to them has “chosen to pursue a different strategic vision” and is beginning to “provide a different scope of services in support of unaccompanied youth.”

Using federal funds offered by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Friends of Youth will turn the house, once used to give the family’s foster children who struggle with “severe behavioral problems” a place to live, into a facility for illegal and unaccompanied migrant children, despite the state’s widespread housing shortage for troubled youth requiring “therapeutic beds.” The decision, foster father Edmundo Serena Sanchez told King 5, “had a devastating impact on the four children in his foster care who will likely be required to move to new foster homes” because he can’t afford a house large enough to hold them.

That same week, the Department of Health and Human Services’ ORR requested federal workers to volunteer for “120-day deployments” to assist with the overwhelming number of unaccompanied migrant children flooding the border every day. The offer to become a temporary “field program specialist” that “involves supervising children and assisting with their possible placement with family members living in the U.S.” will allow federal employees to keep their “current rate of pay.” (Read more from “Illegals First Agenda: Biden’s Border Crisis Is Displacing Foster Kids” HERE)

New Poll Shows ‘Warning Signs’ for President Biden

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden is facing such struggles that even ABC’s Kendall Karson foretells of “warning signs” from their poll released on Sunday, conducted March 26 and March 27 with 517 adults. This is especially the case when it comes to “areas of his agenda where external events have imposed new urgency,” including when it gun control and unaccompanied minors.

Fifty-seven percent of adults disapprove of Biden’s handling of “the situation with migrants and unaccompanied children showing up at the US-Mexican border,” as well as when it comes to “gun violence.” . . .

President Biden especially can’t win when it comes to gun control. Karson notes that, with added emphasis, “Biden’s handling of gun violence draws disapproval from 86% of Republicans, 56% of independents and 37% of Democrats — the highest dissatisfaction among members of his own party of the issues asked about in the survey. The disapproval from both sides is likely seen by Republicans as pursuing too many gun restrictions and by some Democrats as not acting quickly enough.” (Read more from “New Poll Shows ‘Warning Signs’ for President Biden” HERE)

White House Confirms Biden Will Sign Executive Order on Gun Control (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House confirmed on Friday that President Joe Biden will sign executive orders on gun control.

During Friday’s White House press conference, CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked, “Should we still be expecting executive orders from the President on gun measures?” White House press secretary Jen Psaki replied, “Yes,” and said there isn’t “an exact timeframe” on the gun control actions.

“I will note that when the president was the vice-president in the Obama-Biden administration, he helped put in place 23 executive actions to combat gun violence,” Psaki added. “It’s one of the levers that we can use, that any federal government, any President can use to help address the prevalence of gun violence and address community safety around the country.” . . .

“Executive actions are of course, an important lever that every president has at their disposal,” Psaki stated. “There’s current discussions and analysis internally of what steps can be taken,.that that has been ongoing for several weeks, even before these two recent tragedies, that he looks forward to getting an update on and seeing what can be moved forward on that front as well. So he’s not waiting for anything to fail, is really the answer to your question.” (Read more from “White House Confirms Biden Will Sign Executive Order on Gun Control” HERE)

President Kamala? Veep Bucks Biden Order To Enforce Border Control

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris is dodging a Wednesday request by President Joe Biden to bolster the enforcement of migration laws in Mexico and Latin American countries.

On March 24, in a televised statement, Biden directed Harris to get the Mexican and Central American governments to forcibly block poor migrants moving towards the United States. Biden said: “The Vice President … agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept returnees and enhance migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders.” [emphasis added] . . .

On Friday, Symone Sanders, Harris’s press secretary, redefined the request.

“The president asked the vice president to take on the diplomatic effort, with Mexico and countries in the northern triangle to address the root causes of migration,” she said. “There are many reasons that move these folks to make this dangerous journey.”

“This is an amazing dismissal by a vice president of her president in a very public fashion,” said Ken Cuccinelli, who served as deputy homeland security chief under President Donald Trump. “I cannot ever remember seeing this happen before.” (Read more from “President Kamala?
