B-Man Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Joe Biden Unveils His Latest Abuse of Power but Are Republicans Up for the Fight? With everything going on in Afghanistan providing cover, the Biden administration is moving ahead with its latest abuse of power regarding COVID. With nations like Australia, which has descended into a dystopian hellscape, illustrating just how bad things can get, far-left politicians and officials are doing their best to bring the same types of measures to the United States. For his part, Biden is now openly pushing employers to mandate vaccines, essentially making people choose between their livelihoods and making their own health choices. This follows the FDA’s approval of the Pfizer vaccine, which is now the guise by which the vaccine can supposedly be mandated. This is a gross abuse of power. The government doesn’t become any less tyrannical when it uses private enterprise to stomp on the rights of individuals. In fact, crushing rights by proxy is perhaps even more nefarious as it leaves little recourse for people affected. Unfortunately, far too many Republicans don’t seem to be up for the fight we now find ourselves in Here’s the thing – Joe Biden is not going to illegally mandate vaccines. Instead, he’s going to put pressure on corporations and even smaller businesses to mandate them for him. If that happens, is Noem ready to engage on new ground as Gov. Ron DeSantis in Florida has done? Because that’s what this battle is going to call for. The reality is that the left will never stop. They will always look for the next crack in the wall to start chipping away at. While they’ve run up against the constitutional limits at the governmental level, they are now content to simply go around those limits in order to keep pushing toward the objective. At the beginning of World War II, the Allies thought that the Germans would attack westward along the Maginot Line following the fall of Poland. The expectation was that the next war would resemble the last war, a direct slugfest of trench warfare and fortifications. In response to that onerous assumption, they put all their resources north and south of the Ardennes Forest. And while it’s a lot more complicated than I can fully explain here, in the end, the Germans were content to go through the Ardennes and right around the Allied defenses, leading to the fall of France in just weeks. The point is that far too many Republicans are content to sit behind their Maginot Line of judicial appointments and constitutional arguments, believing that the next war will be like the last. Meanwhile, Biden and his leftwing cohorts have realized that they can just go around those defenses by manipulating private businesses into doing what they want. Whether we are talking about vaccine mandates or Critical Race Theory, the strategy is the same. Things can’t stop at just fighting the government. Every legal tool available, from lawsuits to boycotts to executive orders, must be wielded by state-level Republicans to stop this onslaught because once the door is opened on this stuff, it will never be closed. Big corporations are not your friend. Treat them accordingly. We are at the precipice when it comes to individual rights in this country. Are Republican politicians content to watch the freedom of their constituents melt away under a misguided facade of libertarianism or do they engage on all fronts? Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer to that question. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/08/23/joe-biden-unveils-his-latest-abuse-of-power-but-are-republicans-up-for-the-fight-n431723 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Democrats Aren’t Even Bothering To Hide Their Wrongdoing American Thinker, by Frank Liberato Thanks to the news out of Afghanistan, Jen Psaki’s recent admission that the executive branch has been colluding with the tech giants to suppress free speech, has apparently passed into the ether with far less scrutiny than it deserves. In fact, this is such a clear violation of the First Amendment that it defies any obvious logic or rationale. But Psaki’s announcement isn’t the first act in this play; it’s only the most recent act in the left’s years-long flouting of the rule of law https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/08/democrats_arent_even_bothering_to_hide_their_wrongdoing.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is that this wasn’t mere callousness on her part. (snip) I believe that the reason Pelosi is behaving in this way is to keep her base from realizing that something bad happened.

B-Man Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Any thoughts from the Left here ? NORTH CAROLINA: One state Supreme Court case could destroy the court for years to come. In an astonishing and unprecedented power grab that will overturn 200 years of case law and prior precedents, Democrats on the state Supreme Court are preparing to disqualify and remove two duly-elected Republican Supreme Court justices from a case so they can nullify voters’ decision to amend the Constitution. The case is NAACP v. Moore and the state Supreme Court’s Democrats are trying to remove two Republican members from the bench, so a new temporary four-to-one Democrat majority can erase two constitutional amendments – the cap on income tax, and the voter I.D. requirement – which were overwhelmingly passed by more than four million votes. In a plan already underway, Democrats Anita Earls, Robin Hudson, and Mike Morgan would conspire to remove the justices while allowing Associate Justice Jimmy Ervin to vote AGAINST the move because he is the one Democrat currently on the court who will face re-election in 2022. Our “democracy” is sacred to Democrats except when it isn’t. https://www.carolinajournal.com/opinion-article/one-state-supreme-court-case-could-destroy-the-court-for-years-to-come/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Mark Milley Pledged to the Chinese to Commit Treason in Order to Undermine Donald Trump In political settings, the word treason is thrown around a lot, and in almost every case it’s used in a way that does not legally meet the definition of the world. Yet, courtesy of Gen. Mark Milley, the disgraced Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Joe Biden, we finally have a situation where the term is applicable. In a jaw-dropping report, it’s been revealed that Milley pledged to the Chinese military to commit treason in order to undermine Donald Trump. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/09/14/peril-woodward-costa-trump-milley-china/ https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/09/14/huge-mark-milley-pledged-to-the-chinese-to-commit-treason-in-order-to-undermine-donald-trump-n442812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 On 3/10/2021 at 8:32 AM, Unforgiven said: 'Covid relief Bill' Here are 10 crazy examples of waste and partisan kick-backs that have nothing to do with COVID-19 but are in the new bill. 1. $1 Billion for ‘Racial Justice’ for Farmers “The $1.9 trillion coronavirus stimulus package being pushed by President Biden puts more than $1 billion toward ‘socially disadvantaged’ farmers and related groups — including an equity commission, agricultural training and other assistance to advance racial justice in farming,” Fox News reports. 2. $50 Million for ‘Environmental Justice’ Grants The legislation allocates $50 million for “environmental justice” grants via the Environmental Protection Agency. The Republican Study Committee decried these grants as a “thinly-veiled kickback” because much of this money will end up going to left-wing political groups. 3. $112 Million for California Transit Project In an expenditure with zero apparent connection to COVID-19, the new bill allocates $112 million for the “Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) expansion” program. The money would largely go to a specific “underground rail project in Silicon Valley for which planning has been going on for several years but hasn’t yet broken ground,” Fox Business reports. 4. $10 Million for Native American Language Preservation Slipped into the seemingly endless bill text is a $10 million appropriation to “ensure the survival and continuing vitality of Native American languages during and after the public health emergency.” 5. $200 Million for Museum and Library Services Museums and libraries are, for the most part, closed across the country. Yet under this bill, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (did you even know that was a thing?) would be allocated $200 million in taxpayer money. 6. $750 Million for ‘Global Health’ One might expect the U.S. Congress’s COVID-19 legislation to focus on, well, the U.S. But the new legislation allocates a whopping $750 million for the Centers for Disease Control to spend on global health problems and vaccination efforts in other countries. 7. $750 Million for Native American Housing The bill also allocates $750 million — on top of existing and prior funding — for “housing assistance and supportive services programs for Native Americans.” 8. Expansion of Obamacare Subsidies House Democrats have long sought to expand Obamacare subsidies and eliminate caps that prohibit them from going to high-income individuals. Unable to find the votes to do so via the normal legislative process, they’ve simply slipped this partisan priority into their “COVID” relief legislation. 9. Billions for Public Schools Whether They Reopen or Not The behemoth legislation doles out $129 billion for K-12 schools, ostensibly earmarked for helping them reopen. But it’s actually just a handout for teachers’ unions and public schools. They get the money regardless of whether they reopen or not, and much of it is allocated for spending in 2022 through 2028, long after the pandemic. 10. Countless Pet Projects for Powerful Lawmakers There are too many in the bill to count, but one glaring example of the corruption and cronyism peppered throughout this bill comes courtesy of the $1.5 million it allocates for the Seaway International Bridge. The bridge “connects New York to Canada and is a priority for New York Sen. Chuck Schumer,” the Wall Street Journal notes. Rampant Corruption is a Feature of Big Government, Not a Bug One would like to think that this bill and its untold billions in waste, corruption, and pork are an unusually egregious example of Congressional dereliction. Unfortunately, this kind of dysfunction is par for the course. https://stream.org/10-crazy-examples-of-unrelated-waste-and-partisan-kick-backs-in-new-covid-bill/ Nothing illegal... yeah pork barrel politics for projects favored in certain states... waste is in the eye of the beholder... not applicable to the title of the Bill... sure... but nothing new... line item veto was able to derail some of this, but Sup Ct said it was unconstitutional and both sides do this. Question, and I haven't looked it up... is this an authorizing bill or an appropriations bill. If authorizing... than it just means that the feds are allowed to spend the money... but if no money is appropriated it is DOA. Lots of things get in authorizing bills that are never allocated because no money is appropriated for it... just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Rand Paul Wades Into the Fight Between the DOJ and Parents, Defends Angry Moms The Department of Justice’s fight against angry parents is a real testament to the authoritarian nature of the Biden administration and indeed, the entirety of the left. It takes a lot of hubris to declare that you know how to raise someone’s child better than them and send authorities to shut you down when you protest that. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is famously anti-authoritarian and true to form, he’s not liking what he sees at all, and he appeared on Fox News to tell Ben Domenech about it. Paul told Fox that angry mothers were being criminalized just for dissenting against hard-left school boards, a thing “we should all be appalled with.” Domenech asked Paul if people should worry about appearing on government lists if they say the wrong thing, and Paul reminded acknowledged that lists like these already exist and that it would be right to fear the government in this regard. “That’s a sad thing from someone in the government to say, but the thing is, is those lists already exist. For example, people in northern Virginia that have gone to [protests], have been then sought out by the school council, by the members of the school board and retaliated [against] in a sort of legalistic way to try to put them on some sort of list and chill their speech by letting them know there’ll be a penalty for showing up and protesting,” Paul said. Paul believes that there should be a drawn line about how one should act when it comes to dissent and brought up the woman who filmed Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema as an example of going too far. He also made it clear that intentionally causing illegal havoc at a school board meeting is fair game for local punishment. That said, Paul drew a line about what should be considered violations of federal law and made it clear that Garland is clearly trying to silence simple dissenters. “If you go to a school board meeting and you’re disruptive and you don’t obey the rules of the school board meeting, then there will be local punishment,” Paul said. “But that has nothing to do with the federal law, it has nothing to do with the Department of Justice. What Merrick Garland did is, he’s attempting to stifle dissent, and he’s attempting to say, ‘Beware or Big Brother’s coming after you if you speak out against my policies or against the Biden policies.’” More at the link: https://redstate.com/brandon_morse/2021/10/07/rand-paul-wades-into-the-fight-between-the-doj-and-parents-defends-angry-moms-n453038 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Revolt of the masses: The left has overplayed its hand by Robert Knight I think the left is realizing it has a tiger by the tail. The people are getting uppity. Parents are assailing school boards over critical race theory and transgender madness. So much so that the Biden Justice Department is sending out the FBI to investigate whether, as the National School Boards Association bombastically charges, some parents are guilty of “domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” Boy, it’s lucky for those BLM/Antifa rioters in 2020 that they refrained from badmouthing teachers and school officials while torching the cities. Their “peaceful protests” might have been investigated. Meanwhile, former Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, the Clinton bag man who is running again for his old job, stated, “I’m not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions.” He added, “I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” This stuff ticks off parents, and GOP candidate Glenn Youngkin is taking full advantage. He is running ads accurately depicting Mr. McAuliffe as an authoritarian, anti-parent elitist. Republicans are looking to take back Virginia in November and Congress in 2022. Democrats in districts carried by former President Trump are as nervous as a hockey goalie playing without a face mask. President Biden’s poll numbers are plummeting. Vice President Kamala Harris is apparently in the Federal Witness Protection Program, far from the border. Americans see the stupid and brutal surrender in Afghanistan, soaring gasoline prices, scary inflation, an insane transgender agenda imposed on schools and the military, and a cataclysmic, deliberate erasure of our southern border — and they don’t like it. Given all this and more, the media/Big Tech axis no longer seems as effective in scaring the “masses” into quiet obedience. So, our ruling elites are doubling down on repressive measures. Vaccine mandates are coming thick and fast at all levels, spurred by Mr. Biden’s unconstitutional edict to private businesses. Pro-vaxxers cite a 1905 Supreme Court ruling upholding a smallpox vaccination mandate. But, as noted by Washington Times columnist Judge Andrew Napolitano, Jacobson v. Massachusetts involved only a state legislature, no other government authority: “The issue was not whether a governor could issue a command, call it a law and use the police to implement it,” as is happening today. Democrats have been ignoring constitutional allocations of power. When bureaucrats and judges unconstitutionally changed voting laws during the 2020 election in Pennsylvania and other bellwether states, the courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, yawned at the usurpations. Over at the IRS, the Biden administration isn’t content with illegally harassing conservative and tea party groups, as happened during the Obama administration. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wants banks to report annual cash flows for ordinary account holders.

B-Man Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/10/13/kyrsten-sinema-takes-a-shot-at-the-white-house-and-disappoints-democrats-everywhere-n456176 The background on her response involves a narrative being pushed by the administration and Democrats at large that Sinema and Joe Manchin are holding up negotiations while not saying what they want. The idea is that the moderate duo hasn’t actually laid out their red lines regarding policy and price, creating an unfair scenario where the far-left is ready to compromise but can’t. Yet, as Manchin has laid out previously, that’s not true for him, and now, Sinema is making it clear it’s not true for her either. There is no mystery about where she stands. She’s been clear the filibuster will not be touched and she’s been clear she’s opposed to major parts of the climate provisions, drug pricing provisions, and tax provisions of the current reconciliation boondoggle that is being proposed. Past that, it appears she’s gone into even more detail with the White House itself, noting that she has no reason to share anything else with those in Congress. WHAT ? The White House is lying ?

Backintheday544 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Lol this entire thread: “Why, so you can continue to flood this message board with every nonsensical piece of garbage you harvest out of the Twitter sphere? You don’t think people can go on Twitter and read this crap for themselves? Copying and pasting is NOT the purpose of a message board. Try offering something of value, or a slightly well reasoned adult worthy opinion once in a while and you’ll watch my standard bored to death response change. Ready, set, go! “ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
