NASCAR Fans at Talladega Join in on the “F*** Joe Biden” Chant That is Sweeping Sporting Events and Concerts…#IndividualLiberty

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

Talladega 10221

‘Emergencies’ have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded. – Friedrich August von Hayek

FoxNews.com reports that

Chants of “F*** Joe Biden” rained down from the crowd at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway after Brandon Brown captured his first NASCAR Xfinity Series race victory.

The anti-Biden chants came during Brown’s post-race interview. After Brown told a reporter his victory was a “dream come true,” the crowd began to loudly shout in unison their displeasure with the president.

The reporter acknowledged the chants and claimed the fans were shouting “Let’s go Brandon!”

NASCAR initially posted video of the interview with the chant but later deleted the tweet.

Fox News reached out to NASCAR to ask why the post was taken down but did not immediately receive a response.

NASCAR officials called the race with five laps remaining in the scheduled 113-lap race at the 2.66-mile speedway due to poor visibility. Brown was declared the race leader as a final caution flag flew with 11 laps remaining. Brown defeated playoff driver Brandon Jones in the last scoring loop.

“Dad, we did it, let’s go!” Brown yelled to the camera during the interview.

The “F— Joe Biden” chant has surfaced at sporting events across the United States — mainly in southern states — and has been especially popular at college football games where tens of thousands of fans have been packing stadiums in defiance of the Biden administration’s strict coronavirus guidelines.

There is a very simple reason why average Americans are voicing their displeasure with Joe Biden while safe in the anonymity of the company of thousands of spectators at a sporting event, concert, or NASCAR Race. 

Americans are fighting back.

The Biden Administration and their handlers decided to use a Chinese Coronavirus, unleashed on innocent Americans, to ostracize and “control” those Americans who have chosen not to take any of the COVID-19 Vaccine Shots

Something very similar has been done before.

German officials identified Jews residing in Germany through the normal records created by a modern state. They used census records, tax returns, synagogue membership lists, parish records (for converted Jews), routine but mandatory police registration forms, the questioning of relatives, and from information provided by neighbors and municipal officials.

In territory occupied by Nazi Germany or its Axis partners, Jews were identified largely through Jewish community membership lists, individual identity papers, captured census documents and police records, and local intelligence networks. Germany’s racial laws identified a “Jew” as anyone with three or more Jewish grandparents, regardless of their religious identity or practice. Conversions to Christianity were pronounced illegitimate going back two generations, formalizing and instituting Nazi racial theories.

Now, I not saying that this will be another Holocaust. God forbid.

However…

On a different website, you will find these words…

Where is this art of ruling, to say nothing of the art of leadership? It is only the unscrupulousness for robbery. And when this same man then says: “We have a fine instinct for idealism and material values.” Yes indeed they have. They have destroyed idealism everywhere, and they have grabbed and taken possession of material worth and always grabbed and taken possession of it, too, by brutal force only. For in 300 years that nation has oppressed and yoked and subjected nation after nation, people after people, race after race.

No, boys and girls, the following quote did not come from the Antifa Group Refuse Fascism’s website, although it certainly reads like something they would write.

This quote comes from the Jewish Virtual Library. It is taken from a speech, delivered in 1942, given on the 19th Anniversary of the “Beer Hall Putsch”, by German Chancellor Adolph Hitler.

The Beer Hall Putsch was an incident that took place on November 8, 1923, when Nazi troops under the direction of Hermann Goering surrounded the a beer hall in Munich, Germany. At 8:30 p.m., Hitler and his storm troopers burst into the beer hall causing instant panic. Hitler announced to the crowd that the Revolution had begun, and went to the back room of the hall to try to persuade the local officials to capitulate to him. They wouldn’t. Hitler’s attempt to seize power that night failed. But, thanks to word of mouth, and Hitler’s use of propaganda, a seed was planted, that would eventually lead to World War II.

By now, you are probably asking:

Okay. So what does one thing have to do the other?

Hitler eventually rose to power by preying upon the economic despair, hopelessness, and avarice of the German people, whose country was savaged by the Great Depression of 1929.

Hitler formed a political party, naming it The National Socialist Party, which led to he and his thugs being called “Nazis”.

The era became known as the “Rise of Fascism”.

The Biden Administration and his fellow members of the Democrat Elite, including the Blue State Governors, used the COVID-19 Pandemic to take away Americans’ Freedoms. And, these now “oligarchs” have loved their new Unconstitutional Power so much, that they do want to keep it, even though the science shows that it is going away.

These political actions, including the identification of those who have refused to take the COVID-19 Vaccine, is as much an act of fascism as identifying and ostracizing human beings by race or religion, 

That, plus the leaving of Americans behind during Biden’s Botched Bug-Out from Afghanistan has average Americans boiling mad.

Who knows what the bunch of fascists controlling Biden and his Administration will do next?

Will the Biden Administration identify the “Unvaccinated” by a circle with an empty hypodermic needle in it with a line through it?

Or. will they make Unvaccinated Americans wear that same marker as a yellow badge?

The Democratic Elite know that what they are doing is outrageous.

Why do you think that Nancy Pelosi had the fence around the Capitol put back up?

A House Divided: Infrastructure and “Build Back Better” Bills Blown to Bits Due to “Civil War” Among House Democrats

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Pelosi-AOC-1-1

On a Sunday, in October of 2008, outside of Toledo, Ohio, Democratic Presidential Nominee Obama met a plumber named Joe Wurzelbacher. Joe, who owned his own plumbing company, dared to ask Obama about his proposed tax hikes. In fact, he told Obama that he did not want to pay higher taxes, he was already paying enough. Obama told him,

Now, I respect the disagreement. I just want you to be clear – it’s not that I want to punish your success – I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you – that they’ve got a chance at success too.”

…I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.

Evidently, the “fairness” Obama sought was only the prelude to what we are witnessing under the Presidential Administration of poor ol’ demented Joe Biden.

And, so, in the name of “Social Justice”, the Far Left  Democratic Members of the House of Representatives are on a quest to replace the Engine of Capitalism which built this nation into a World Power with “Democratic Socialism”, a form of Marxism, a THEORY which has failed in every country in which it has been tried.

Case in point:

FoxNews.com reports that

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi drew up the white flag Friday evening, admitting that “more time is needed” to pass a $1 trillion infrastructure bill that is one of the pillars of President Biden’s agenda, after previously vowing to pass the measure this week.

While Pelosi had promised moderate House Democrats the infrastructure bill would be on the floor, progressives threatened to sink it unless it was coupled with a $3.5 trillion spending measure, known as the Build Back Better Act, that includes a variety of social welfare programs.

Republicans are united against the larger bill, and Senate Democratic moderates Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona refused to support $3.5 trillion in new spending, meaning the bill could not pass the Senate. So it was no use for Pelosi to pass it in the House. And she was forced to cave on the infrastructure bill because progressives insisted the other measure be must be considered by the House too or they’d vote against the infrastructure bill.

The White House sought desperately all week to strike a deal with Manchin and Sinema on the Build Back Better bill, but without success.

‘While great progress has been made in the negotiations to develop a House, Senate and White House agreement on the Build Back Better Act, more time is needed to complete the task,” Pelosi wrote in Dear Colleague letter. “Our priority to create jobs in the health care, family and climate agendas is a shared value. Our Chairs are still working for clarity and consensus. Clearly, the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill will pass once we have agreement on the reconciliation bill.”

Pelosi had said the infrastructure bill would pass. She initially indicated she would put it to a vote Thursday night, but she did not. Then she said it would be voted on Friday, but she was forced to reverse course again.

Following a meeting between President Biden and the Democratic caucus Friday, it was unclear when the House would revisit the measure again.

Well…well…it looks like Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi doesn’t have the power to push bills through the House that she used to have.

Evidently. the group of “Democratic Socialists” who believe differently from Speaker Pelosi and the “Moderately-crazy” House Democrats who support AOC and the rest of the “Squad” may be bigger and more loyal than she thought

Make no mistake, the Marxist “Social Justice Warrior” wing of the Democratic Party is not willing to let go their pipe dream of turning our Constitutional Republic into a Democratic Socialist Paradise.

If the Democratic Leadership allows the Marxist Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) like Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez, and Omar to continue to control of the House of Representatives and their political party while embracing Radical Islam, anti-Semitism, and Marxism, while taking away both the hard-earned wages and the freedom of American Citizens, they not only will lose horribly and be thrown out of power in both the House and Senate in the Midterm Elections in 2022, but they will be positively embarrassed in the Presidential Election in 2024.

And then, America will have the opportunity to be truly GREAT again.

Until He Comes,

Biden’s DOJ to Argue Against Texas “Heartbeat Law” in Front of Supreme Court Today

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

baby_gift_from_GOD

“I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.” – President Ronald Reagan

FoxNews.com reports that

A hearing in the Justice Department’s lawsuit against the state of Texas over its ”heartbeat bill” is scheduled for Friday.

The Biden administration, after the law went into effect earlier this month, announced that it would sue the state over the law known as Senate Bill 8, which allows private citizens to sue abortion providers and anyone who assists in the procedure.

The law, as reported by The New York Times, makes it “difficult to challenge in the courts” since the lawsuit does not name state officials as defendants. Rather, the defendants in this lawsuit are private citizens who “have no connection to the patient or the clinic.”

The Texas Tribune reports that both state and federal lawyers will give their arguments at Friday’s hearing, which is being overseen by Judge Robert L. Pitman of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.

The DOJ argues that Texas has flouted “settled constitutional law” that “a State may not prohibit any woman from making the ultimate decision to terminate her pregnancy before viability.”

The federal government also states that S.B. 8 “conflicts with federal law by purporting to prohibit federal agencies from carrying out their responsibilities under federal law related to abortion services,” and that since S.B. 8 does not make exceptions for rape or incest, “its terms purport to prohibit the federal government and its employees and agents from performing, funding, reimbursing, or facilitating abortions in such cases.”

Texas’ argument states that “if the Department of Justice wants to expand its authority, it should direct its requests to Congress, not this Court.”

As they consider similar abortion restrictions, other states are watching the court’s ruling in the Texas case. In addition, Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that gave women the right to legally access abortion throughout the United States, might again be back before the high court for a ruling on whether the decision is constitutional.

If you are surprised that Biden’s Democratically-controlled Department of Justice is attempting to overturn Texas’ “Heartbeat Law” in favor of continuing the practice of killing the unborn, then you have not been paying attention to “The Party of Death”.

Prior to 1973, abortions were allowed in some states but restricted or almost banned in others. Every state legislature made their own decision on whether to allow abortions and under what circumstances.  There was no Federal Law in regards to abortion.  Then, in 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court gave us Roe v. Wade. It declared a Texas anti-abortion statute unconstitutional and, in doing so, affected abortion laws in many other states.

For any low  information voters who might be reading, I present the following summary:

Jane Roe was an unmarried and pregnant Texas resident in 1970. Texas law made it a felony to abort a fetus unless “on medical advice for the purpose of saving the life of the mother.” Roe filed suit against Wade, the district attorney of Dallas County, contesting the statue on the grounds that it violated the guarantee of personal liberty and the right to privacy implicitly guaranteed in the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. In deciding for Roe, the Supreme Court invalidated any state laws that prohibited first trimester abortions.

“We … acknowledge our awareness of the sensitive and emotional nature of the abortion controversy, of the vigorous opposing views, even among physicians, and of the deep and seemingly absolute convictions that the subject inspires.” — Justice Blackmun (1973), majority opinion in Roe v. Wade

When you talk to Far Left Democrats about this stopping of a beating heart, they will  claim that, a human fetus is “just a clump of cells”. 

From the scientific perspective, Dr. Carlo Bellieni, in his book “Dawn of the I: Pain, Memory, Desire, Dream of the Fetus,” says:

As soon as it is born, the child shows in a scientifically demonstrable way that it recognizes its mother’s voice and distinguishes it from that of a stranger. Where has he learned that voice other than in the maternal womb?

There are also direct proofs. For example, we register how the movements and cardiac frequency of the fetus vary if we transmit unexpected sounds through the uterine wall. And we see that at first the fetus is startled, then it gets used to it, just like we do when we hear something that does not interest us.

In fact, the scientific evidence is immense. We cannot understand how it can be thought that it becomes a person at a certain point, perhaps when coming out of the uterus.

From the physical point of view, at the birth very little really changes: Air enters the lungs, the arrival of blood from the placenta is interrupted, the type of circulation of blood in the heart changes, and not much more.

As I often say, only blind faith in magic arts or some strange divinity can lead one to think that there is a “human” quality leap at a given moment — certainly not science.

Several years ago, then-President Obama, who was brushing away tears on a Tuesday Morning on behalf of limiting the Second Amendment Rights of American Citizens, said the following,

Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.

My question for the Democrat Elite and their Department of Justice, is:

When do children stop being a “punishment” and start being precious lives to shed tears over?

Is it simply a matter of “Political Expediency”?

Pompeo: Gen Milley Did NOT Inform Me of His Phone Call to His Chinese Counterpart Despite What He Said in Wednesday’s Hearing

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Pompeo and Milley

FoxNews.com reports that

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has denied that Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, informed him that he had told his Chinese counterpart that he would alert the Chinese of any impending attack in the last days of the Trump administration, saying that if Milley had, it would have been ”a real problem.”

Pompeo’s comments to ”The Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM satellite radio on Wednesday directly rebutted Milley’s testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, in which he defended reports in the book ”Peril” about the final days of the Trump administration.

The book claimed that Milley called his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng, on Jan. 8 and — attempting to ease that country’s concern about a possible military strike — told him he would notify him of any impending action.

Milley testified that Pompeo and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows were aware of the phone call.

”If he in fact said, ‘We will not attack you until we warn you,’ that’s just nutty, right?” Pompeo said. ”That’s just … it’s certain that he did not tell Chief Meadows or I that because — I don’t know if he told us, he thinks he told us, on the same phone call, but I can promise you that Chief Meadows would have called me immediately and said, ‘Hey, we got a real problem here.’

”And if I had of heard it, I would’ve gone high and right. I’d be very surprised if that’s precisely how Gen. Milley told the Chinese that. I worked with Gen. Milley enough. But if he told [authors Bob] Woodward and [Robert] Costa that he said that, this is something he has to account for. That would be deeply inconsistent with his responsibilities.”

It appears that General Milley is frantically attempting to “cover his 6”.

Back on February 20, 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned about the Chinese Infiltration of our Country which began under Obama.

Per their website, 1000plan.org, China initiated the Thousand Talents Plan at the end of 2008.

By 2017, China had recruited more than 7,000 professionals, per a bi-partisan Senate Sub-committee report titled “Threats to the U.S. Research Enterprise: China’s Talent Recruitment Plans” published in November of last year.

Okay. Why was this allowed in the first place?

And, why didn’t the Federal Government put a stop to it?

Who was the President in January of 2009?

Oh, wait…Now, I remember (with a little help from The Washington Post)

Obama became the first U.S. president to visit China during his first year in office. But his administration was taken aback by how completely the Chinese controlled all aspects of that visit.

“He wasn’t allowed to say much at all,” said Orville Schell, a longtime China scholar who was in China during the visit. “The Chinese kept him from meeting certain people, from taking questions or even radio broadcasts. He didn’t know quite how to respond. He didn’t want to be impolite. It took the U.S. a while to understand that this was the direction China and the relationship was headed.”

Some have blamed Obama for adopting such an overly optimistic and open stance during those early years. For all his outreach, current and former top U.S. diplomats say, Obama got little in return, except the feeling of being burned by Beijing.

Well, gosh.

Milley said that his relationship with Li Zuocheng had been going on for 5 years at the time of the phone calls in question.

That meant that it started under President Barack Hussein Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden, when Milley was Chief of Staff of the Army, starting in August of 2015.

No wonder Biden said that he has complete faith in General Milley.

Are you paying attention, yet?

As we are witnessing with the wearing of masks, when it comes to the law and the Constitution, rules only apply to us “common” people.

Time and time again, Democrats have gotten away with things that you and I would have been put under the jail for.

The Anti-American Nightmare known as the Biden Presidency just keeps getting worse and worse with each passing day, doesn’t it?

I am afraid to ask “What’s Next?” because it will probably involve #DementiaJoe mistaking the launch button on the Nuclear Football for his intercom to ask the White House Kitchen Staff to bring him some ice cream.

But, I digress…

General Milley needs to resign.

He is arrogant, clueless, and incompetent.

And, that is a combination which will continue to hurt the safety and reputation of our country more than it will help it. 

Until He Comes,

KJ

Kamala Harris Nods in Agreement While College Student Accuses Israel of “Ethnic Genocide” Adding That “Your Truth Cannot Be Suppressed”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

 

kamala-harris-california

FoxNews.com reports that

Vice President Kamala Harris nodded while a student accused Israel of ethnic genocide and then responded by saying the student’s “truth should not be suppressed.”

After speaking at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, to commemorate National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday, Harris took questions from the audience. That’s when a female student raised questions about the money the U.S. is providing to Israel and Saudi Arabia.

“I see that over the summer there have been, like, protests and demonstrations in astronomical numbers” about the Palestinian cause, the student said. She went on to note how “just a few days ago there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel, which hurts my heart because it’s ethnic genocide and displacement of people, the same that happened in America, and I’m sure you’re aware of this.”

The student went on to allege that the money that would otherwise go to Americans struggling with housing and health care costs goes instead “to inflaming Israel and backing Saudi Arabia and what-not.”

Harris replied that she “was glad” the student brought up such concerns and went on to say her opinion should be heard in a democracy.

“And again, this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth, should not be suppressed and it must be heard, right? And one of the things we’re fighting for in a democracy, right?” Harris said.

Harris also claimed that democracy is “at its weakest when anyone is left out” of the conversation.

“Our goal should be unity, but not uniformity, right?” said Harris, later adding, “Unity should never be at the expense of telling anyone personally that, for the sake of unity, ‘Oh, you be quiet about that thing. You suppress that thing. Let’s not deal with that thing.’ That’s not unity. True unity is everyone in that room has a voice.

“The point that you are making about policy that relates to Middle East policy, foreign policy, we still have healthy debates in our country about what is the right path, and nobody’s voice should be suppressed on that,” she added.

It appears that the brainwashing of this young woman attending George Mason University has done what it was put in place to do: turn her against everything that has to do with American, including one of our greatest allies.

She cannot prove her claim of “genocide” against Israel.

She does not even understand the truth about “Palestine”.

Per discoverthenetworks.org,

The term “Palestine” (Falastin in Arabic) was an ancient name for the general geographic region that is more or less today’s Israel. The name derives from the Philistines, who originated from the eastern Mediterranean, and invaded the region in the 11th and 12th centuries B.C. The Philistines were apparently either from Greece, Crete, the Aegean Islands, and/or Ionia. They seem to be related to the Bronze Age Greeks, and they spoke a language akin to Mycenaean Greek. Their descendents, still living on the shores of the Mediterranean, greeted Roman invaders a thousand years later. The Romans corrupted the name to “Palestina,” and the area under the sovereignty of their city-states became known as “Philistia.” Six-hundred years later, the Arab invaders called the region “Falastin.”

Throughout subsequent history, the name remained only a vague geographical entity. There was never a nation of “Palestine,” never a people known as the “Palestinians,” nor any notion of “historic Palestine.” The region never enjoyed any sovereign autonomy, remaining instead under successive foreign sovereign domains from the Umayyads and Abbasids to the Fatimids, Ottomans, and British.

For years now, I have referred to the intolerant political ideology of Modern American Liberals as “The New Fascism” because of their intolerance toward Traditional Americans Faith and Values, including our relationship with our closest ally, Israel, since their birth as a country in 1948.

What we are seeing now, as regards the rampant anti-Semitism in the Far Left Democratic Party, which began under Former President Barack Hussein Obama and which has now spread to our college campuses where it is being taught as fact to young minds full of mush, is a result of an amalgamation of the political philosophies of the special interest groups who have replaced average Americans as the Democrats’ Voting Base.

Anti-Semitism is the norm in Marxism in all of its forms, including “Democratic Socialism”, as demonstrated by the reaction of Vice-President Harris.

Anti-Semitic groups tend to gravitate toward each other finding solace and kindred spirits in their shared hatred of the Jewish people.

For those of you who are old enough to have actually studied history before the Liberals started revising it, the world has bore witness to this phenomena before.

A socialist political party in a developed nation joined forces with Islamists before, based on their mutual hatred of Jews.

You may remember this. They were the National Socialist Party of Germany, otherwise known as the Nazis.

They caused the mass extermination of millions of innocent European Jews, known as the Holocaust.

The political philosophies which the Modern Democrats are now embracing are the anti-thesis of whom they claim to be.

Those who hate Americans, simply because they are Jewish, like those who hate the nation of Israel for the same reason, have already gone on record as the Vice-President did once again with her support of that college student.

Those on the Left Side of the Political Spectrum bear the responsibility for the anti-Semitic violence which has plagued New York City and is beginning to rear its ugly head in other cities, as well,.

Unfortunately, all we are hearing from their leaders is support for a “country” which never existed.

Meanwhile, our children and grandchildren are being taught to hate our country and our friends.

Until He Comes,

House “Porkzilla” Spending Bill Will Cost Taxpayers $5.5. Trillion for Stuff Like “Tree Equity”, “Climate Change Corps”, “Electric Cars”, and Paying Union Dues

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

Pelosi spending bill 92721

FoxNews.com reports that

Nearly $79 billion for the IRS, $12 billion for electric cars, $3 billion for “tree equity,” $1 billion to turn government facilities into “high-performance green buildings,” and new funding for gender identity issues and bias training — Fox News can now reveal these and other controversial spending items in Democrats’ multitrillion-dollar reconciliation package, following the House Budget Committee’s release and approval of the full draft legislation on Saturday.

Among the most contentious provisions, the bill gives a substantial funding boost to the Internal Revenue Service, which stands to gain an additional $78.94 billion over the next 10 years. The money would help the IRS strengthen tax enforcement activities, expand audits and modernize its technology. An additional $410 million would go to IRS oversight.

Democrats also are putting equity at the center of the bill. The Agriculture Committee has earmarked $3 billion for a tree-planting program “with a priority for projects that increase tree equity.” The legislation dishes out another $4 billion for “neighborhood access and equity grants.” Meanwhile, its “electric vehicle charging equity program” comes with a $1 billion price tag.

The bill generally doesn’t elaborate on the meaning of equity in this context, though American Forests defines “tree equity,” for example, as a tree-planting program that “identifies the cities that can gain the most significant health, economic and climate benefits by increasing tree canopy in places of high need.”

The legislation would add billions of dollars in climate change funding, starting with the “Civilian Climate Corps,” which would get at least $7.5 billion across multiple committee budgets. The organization, which President Biden has placed at the top of his climate wishlist, would employ thousands of young people to carry out conservation and climate change-related projects on public lands.

Former Trump economic adviser Steve Moore argues Democrats can’t ‘figure out’ and reach a deal on the $3.5 trillion spending plan.

There’s also $5 billion for environmental and “climate justice” block grants given to disadvantaged communities, $1.4 billion in climate change research and $300 million for the federal government to conduct more efficient and effective environmental reviews by hiring more people and purchasing new equipment, among other measures.

The federal government itself stands to benefit significantly from the climate initiatives. Democrats have pushed for $12 billion to buy electric cars and related infrastructure for the federal fleet, at least $7 billion of which would go toward upgrading the U.S. Postal Service to electric vehicles. The General Services Administration, the agency supporting federal government activities, would get $1 billion to convert its facilities into “high-performance green buildings” over the next 10 years.

Unions are also poised for rewards in the bill. One eyebrow-raising provision would give taxpayers a deduction of up to $250 for dues paid to a labor organization, a move likely to boost and maintain union membership throughout the country. Democrats also slipped in a provision that would give up to $5 million to implement electronic voting systems for union elections.

Race and gender-based spending in the bill carries a smaller price tag, but is more likely to receive pushback from moderate Democrats and Republicans. The bill would give $25 million to nonprofit organizations to develop “anti-discrimination and bias training” for the health care sector, and another $15 million for national resource centers “focused on providing services for older individuals who are underserved due to their sexual orientation or gender identity.” It is not clear where the centers would be located or how many people they would serve.

Finally, Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are promising another $2.8 billion to increase the capacity of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to efficiently adjudicate applications and to reduce case-processing backlogs. Those applications are expected to be created by another part of the bill, which would give lawful permanent residence to certain entrants into the United States.

…While Democrats have heralded major parts of the legislation, they have neglected to mention some spending items during their sales pitches. Instead, House Democrats quietly added the provisions during the ongoing reconciliation process, sometimes in a particularly convoluted way.

Take, for example, the $198 million in funding for “school leadership programs,” a provision contained in section 20,008 of the bill. Rather than describing those programs, the legislation referenced another bill, which explained that the money would be dedicated to school principals for development and training programs.

Drafting the bill in such a fashion generally makes it more difficult for people to understand where the money is really going.

…The Wall Street Journal’s Catherine Lucey revealed to Fox News on Sunday that while the White House and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., were optimistic about ongoing negotiations, President Biden “has been making clear that [there is] some flexibility on the overall number,” and added, “There are still policy divides that are not resolved.”

The cost of the bill originally was expected to be $3.5 trillion, but the non-partisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget wrote in July that the true cost was around $5.5 trillion, and The New York Times reported Monday morning that the current bill is “likely to cost well over $3.5 trillion.”

Figuring out the true cost could take some time. The bill, formally known as the Build Back Better Act, weighs in at 2,465 pages and 444,311 words. That’s longer than Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations.”

Remember…this is the piece of legislation (and, I use the term loosely) that Biden said would come in at “zero cost”.

That must be some of that “Common Core” Math.

As the article above notes, the Democrats have written the bill in a way in which they could easily hide all of their pay-offs to the Unions and other Liberal Causes that have absolutely NOTHING to do with “Infrastructure” and everything to do with “radical change”.

Since Reagan became President in 1980. the Democrats have been traveling to the Far Left of the Political Spectrum at breakneck speed, leaving chaos and broke taxpayers in their wake.

Oh, they have had tons of “brilliant ideas” over the decades that have turned out about as well as the Maiden Voyage of the Titanic.

I mean, look at what we are going through right now.

American Businesses cannot get people to come to work.

There are jobs available all over the country. However, the “Free Money” given out during the worst days of the Chinese Coronavirus had an effect on America’s Population similar to that of LBJ’s “Great Society”.

And, don’t get me started on that.

Restaurants, Retail, and Fast Food Businesses are having a very hard time not only finding employees, but also keeping them past a paycheck or two.

A lot of people seem to be hoping that “Uncle Joe” sends out some more checks, so that they can buy that 75″ TV that they “so desperately need”.

Of course, Biden also said that the “Free Money” would not cause exactly what we are all bearing witness to.

President Ronald Reagan once said,

“Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.”

All I have to say is that, in my humble opinion, the Democrat Brats on Capitol Hill all need a very long “”time-out”.

Until He Comes,

View Hosts Pulled Live From Set Before Kamala Interview for Failed COVID-19 Tests Were Actually “False Positive”…Was This Done to Protect Failing VP?

On By kingsjesterIn Entertainment, PoliticsLeave a comment

The View and Kamala

FoxNews.com reports that

Ana Navarro, one of two co-hosts who were pulled from ABC’s “The View” live on air Friday due to positive COVID-19 tests, has since revealed the results that caused the chaos were false positives.

Producers informed Navarro and Sunny Hostin in their earpieces halfway through Friday’s broadcast that they would have to leave the Hot Topics table, leaving Joy Behar and Sara Haines to conduct the rest of the show on their own. The remaining hosts often struggled to kill time, at one point taking questions from the audience, but often not being able to hear the questions that were muffled by their masks.

Friday’s drama was even more pronounced considering Navarro and Hostin were pulled just as Vice President Kamala Harris was on her way to the studio for an in-person interview. Even though Harris made it to the building, producers explained her appearance would end up taking place remotely from a separate room out of precaution.

“We were very excited to have the vice president come on ‘The View.’ And then all of a sudden it turned into an episode of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm,'” Navarro said of Friday’s drama in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “It was just surreal.”

Navarro also revealed what she discovered behind the scenes. While waiting in her dressing room after being ushered out of the studio, Navarro said both the PCR and antigen tests she took came back false positive. She said she couldn’t speak to Hostin’s results out of privacy.

“So we took a rapid antigen test, and we took a PCR, both have come back false positive for me,” Navarro said.

Navarro also told Cooper that as a guest co-host for the talk show she gets tested weekly.

“Feeling good and hoping it was just an inopportune, very public false positive,” Navarro tweeted as an update on Saturday. “Please get vaccinated and stay safe folks, so we can beat this damn thing, once and for all.”

She has since posted on social media that a third COVID test came back negative.

“Obviously what happened yesterday was a false positive, a very public, a very inopportune, a very melodramatic false positive. But fortunately we now tested three times. All three have been negative,” she added on Instagram.

Fox News contributor Joe Concha was among the critics who blasted “The View” for the awkward episode. He argued that not only was the manner in which the initial positive COVID results was handled a “train wreck,” but so too was the interview with Harris that followed. Behar and Haines, he noted, chose not to ask the vice president about the failed drone strike in Kabul, the confusion over booster shots, or France’s frustration with the U.S. over a lost submarine deal.

Concha said it was all designed to give the vice president “confidence” at a time when her approval ratings were slipping.

In a video of Fox News’ “Outnumbered” which accompanied the above article, Harris Faulkner asked why the COVID-19 Tests were taken shortly before Kamala got there. She explained that the protocol at Fox News called for those tests to be taken way in advance of an in-person interview.

Add that and the fact that they supposedly came back as “false positives” starts my Reporter’s nose for news itching.

Here’s a thought for you::

Suppose you have an interview with a Vice-President who could not even get 1% of votes during the Democratic Party Primaries scheduled for a live interview and her poll numbers, along with her boss’, a demented doddering old fool installed as President, have been falling like a couple of rocks from the top of Pike’s Peak.

What do you do in order to limit her exposure to a nationwide audiences who may not already know that she is nothing but a clueless lightweight who slept her way into politics and is way out of her league even attempting to do her job as Vice-President?

You come up with a “spontaneous” distraction resembling what we used to call a “Chinese Fire Drill” which would give you an excuse to do a remote interview and lob softball questions at Kamala in order to protect her from her own incompetence. 

The woman is unethical, immoral, and clueless.

Perhaps that is why the Democrat Elite chose her to be Joe’s running mate.

They believed that they would be “two peas in a pod”.

The problem with Kamala, as they have found out, her arrogance not only exceeds her stupidity, it makes it unbearable and forces it right out in the open.

So, ABC attempted to camouflage her short comings.

…Like Biden’s “Handlers” are doing with calling a early “lid” on his appearances every day and flying him away to Delaware every week.

Americans aren’t fooled.

Hence, the chants against Joe Biden by the crowd at College Football Games every Saturday.

Until He Comes,

Trump Tells “Yuge” Georgia Rally…”Joe Biden is Already the Biggest Failure Ever to Occupy the Oval Office”…He’s Right…Again!

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

 

Trump Rally Georgia

Newsmax.com reports that

Calling Georgia the “central battleground” to save “our beloved nation,” former President Donald Trump denounced the Biden administration’s first-year missteps.

“Our country is being turned into a migrant camp,” Trump told his Saturday night Save America Rally in Perry, Georgia, in a speech that aired live on Newsmax, forcefully declaring: “This is an invasion!”

“Other than that, how are things going?”

Trump told a large rally crowd “somebody’s really screwing up our country, destroying our country.”

“One thing is certain this would never, ever be happening if I were president, and we should have been your president,” Trump continued.

“Look what happened with Joe Biden as your president: Our country has gone to hell,” Trump said later as a “we love Trump” chant broke out for a minute. “Thank you, and I love you, too.”

Georgia, Trump began, is going to be a key battleground in 2022 and a “big victory” in 2024, teasing another run for the White House that he has said he cannot announce yet due to campaign finance laws.

“I’m thrilled to be back in this magnificent state with thousands of hard working god fearing freedom loving, American patriots,” Trump said. “And one year from now, Georgia is going to be a central battleground in our fight to rescue our beloved nation.

“With your help, we’re going to take back the House and send Nancy Pelosi back to San Francisco,” he added.

“And we’re going to take back our country from these lunatics.”

Trump, one day after Arizona revealed findings of a forensic audit, reminded his supporters, “you know, there never has been a concession.”

“You do know that, right?” Trump continued, saying the media has a double standard with Democrats and Trump. “You know when Stacey Abrams says, ‘I’m not going to concede,’ it’s O.K. No problem.

“I never conceded because I saw what was happening, and I can’t do it. I can’t do it because I have a commitment to you and I can’t do it.”

Trump decried the attempts to attack those seeking investigations into alleged election and voter fraud.

“Somebody said they’re looking at me for questioning the election,” Trump said. “That’ll be an interesting one: ‘Let’s go after Trump because he’s questioning the election.’ You know what, if I won or lost, all I want is a fair election. That’s all you want.”

Just talking about voter fraud will get you investigated, Trump lamented.

“The people that are questioning the votes aren’t interested in the people that committed the voter fraud, they’re only interested in me and others because I bring voter fraud to the forefront in order to save our nation from corrupt elections and to make sure that this never, ever happens again,” Trump said.

Trump continued to blast his former Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley for the Afghanistan exit that left 13 U.S. service members dead – which Trump honored with 13 empty first-row Joe Biseats.

“This Milley is an idiot,” Trump said. “I got to know him. He’s an idiot.”

Trump claimed Milley is the general that suggested it is cheaper to leave the military equipment in Afghanistan rather than take it out of the country upon withdrawal.

“Milley said to me one time, I’ll never forget it, ‘sir, it’s more expensive, sir, to take the equipment than to leave it,” Trump recalled. ‘I said, ‘really?’

“I mean you have a $10 million tank, you put it on a plane, and that’s more expensive than leaving it? He said it’s more expensive and I never forgot that he said that, because that’s probably the first time I realized that he was stupid.”

Trump also rebuked Democrats’ prosecutorial attacks on him and his former advisers, including subpoenas issued this week to advisers and staffers who spoke to the president on Jan. 6 when protesters entered the U.S. Capitol.

“They want to go after me because I have, they think, a big mouth,” Trump said. “I don’t have a big mouth. You know what I have? I have a mouth that tells the truth. I have a mouth that wants to save our country.”

Trump mocked Biden as the “biggest failure” as president, including suggesting former President Jimmy Carter is “very happy” to no longer hold that title.

“He’s doing nothing to hold the Chinese communist party accountable for unleashing the virus upon the world,” Trump said. “Biden did not even say the word ‘China’ in his U.N. speech because he’s too compromised to take them on, and then only briefly mentioned Afghanistan because his withdrawal has been such a disaster for him and our country.

“And, by the way, for his poll numbers, which have tanked after just eight months, Joe Biden is already the biggest failure ever to occupy the oval office.”

Trump was and IS right…about EVERYTHING.

I have to tell y’all…it was great to watch the 45th President of the United States of America do what he does best: communicate directly with average Americans.

Talk about a breath of fresh air,

I will take the brash honesty and “mean Tweets” of Donald J. Trump over the anti-American Policies, ineptitude, and prevarications of Dementia Joe and Heels Up Harris any day of the week.

Last night, American Citizens living in Georgia heard from a man who genuinely LOVES America and her people, instead of viewing us all as racist, misogynist, xenophobes…the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

Just like Trump did, with his refusal early in his first Presidential campaign to “act more presidential”, he is still taking his message directly to the American People.

You see, Gentle Readers, Trump has always been a “people person”.

That is the reason that, when he was still a contributor to Fox News, he would speak to everyone in the building, from the maintenance crew, on up the ladder.

As Sam Walton, the Founder of Walmart, knew, you don’t inspire people by acting imperious and above it all.

“Mr. Sam”, until his health would no longer allow him to do so, would travel to Walmart Stores in his old pickup truck, with a tie and a baseball cap on, visiting the employees, in order to find out how his stores were doing.

He knew that the only way to be successful and to stay in touch with the public, was to be out among them, and speak to them honestly and directly, as one would speak to a friend.

Just as President Trump did when he went on a “Thank You” Tour after being elected in 2016 and his use of Twitter to speak directly to the American People.

The Political Establishment, of both parties, lost that concept, a long time ago.

Bypassing the borders to communication, historically determined by both political parties and the Main Stream Media, is a concept which I first witnessed being used by a Presidential Candidate in the 1980 Presidential Election, the legendary Ronald Wilson Reagan.

While I am not comparing the two, I am noting that this strategy has proved effective for both men.

As America witnessed last night, Trump continues to strike a resonant chord in the hearts of Average Americans, living in the part of America, which the snobbish Political Elites refer to as “Flyover Country”, but which we refer to as “America’s Heartland”, or, quite simply, “HOME”.

The reason being, President Trump kept his promises.

He does not talk down to us while disparaging our Sovereign Nation, as Sleepy Joe Biden, “Dr.” Jill Biden, and Kamala Harris do..

Trump talks to us in a plain-spoken, clearly understood way, a style which is in stark contrast to a Far Left Democrat party full of professional politicians, whose only interest is the totalitarian retention of power in Washington, D.C., at whatever the cost.

Last night, the Former President of the United States of America made residents of Alabama, along with the rest of us average Americans, feel good about ourselves and the future of our Sovereign Nation

And, gentle readers, to see and hear a Former, and possibly Future American President who genuinely loves this country and her people and who was willing to give up his “lifestyle of the rich and famous” in order to secure a safe and prosperous future for American Citizens is indeed a “radical change” from what this country is experiencing coming out of the Oval Office now.

Until He Comes,

Fox News Bans Rudy Giuliani and Son From Appearing for Several Months…He Found Out on Eve of 9/11…Pete Hegseth Called to Apologize for Him Being “Bumped”

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

rudy-giuliani-donald-trump-a0327630-ce86-4edc-b902-d644d75b96d3 (2)

Newsmax.com reports that

Rudy Giuliani has been banned from appearing on Fox News for several months, and only learned of the “from the top” order on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Son Andrew Giuliani, a New York gubernatorial candidate, has also been banned.

And former NYPD Commsissioner Bernie Kerik, a close adviser to Giuliani, is rarely booked on Fox News, Politico Playbook reports.

Rudy Giuliani and Kerik were prominent New York City leaders on 9/11 as mayor and NYPD commissioner.

“They’re not doing us any favors,” a Trump aide told Politico.

The rejection on hosting the Giulianis “comes from the top,” sources told Politico.

Fox began distancing itself from Giuliani shortly after Trump left office and in the wake of Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against the network. The suit cited Giuliani’s appearances and statements made on Fox in its $1.6 billion defamation case.

Newsmax was also sued by Dominion over its election coverage, but the network continues to have Giuliani, his son, and Kerik on as guests.

“Rudy is really hurt because he did a big favor for Rupert [Murdoch, founder of Fox News’ parent company],” a source close to Giuliani told the outlet. “He was instrumental in getting Fox on Time Warner so it could be watched in New York City.”

Rudy Giuliani learned of being bumped from Fox News on the eve of this 9/11 anniversary, with “Fox & Friends” host Pete Hegseth having to call to apologize for being cut from the show, according to the report.

Kerik was reportedly also un-booked from “Fox & Friends” on 9/11.

“I could not have been more disappointed with the Fox coverage on the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11,” Kerik said in a statement to Politico. “Then they chose to intentionally ignore Mayor Giuliani who was, and who, according to their own coverage for the last two decades, was America’s hero on the day and in the aftermath of the attack.

“Regardless of reasoning, I think this was another demonstration of Fox’s cowering to the far left.”

A source close to Giuliani tells Newsmax that the former mayor and his circle view their banishment from Fox as part of the network’s strategy to reduce and restrict Trump’s influence in the Republican party.

Marshall McLuhan once wrote that

The media is the message.

Well, in the past couple of decades, the Main Stream Media has become not just the message, but also judge, jury, and political executioner.

And, unfortunately, thanks to the influence of the Liberal daughter-in-laws of Rupert Murdoch, Fox News began overcompensating to the Left in keeping its programming “fair and balanced”.

Daily diatribes from Juan Williams, the now-departed Shep Smith, Donna Brazile, and Chris Wallace made me more than once turn the channel to reruns of…well…just about anything.

Then, came the night of the 2020 Presidential Election.

Fox News stripped away its veneer of “Fair and Balanced” to join CNN and MSNBC as servants of the Democratic Party.

That was not a very smart move.

And, they have been making mind-blowingly stupid moves ever since.

However, this one is the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae of Cable News Channel Programming Stupidity.

I’m so old that I remember when Fox News Channel was not a member of the Main Stream Media.

According to the Old Testament Book of Proverbs,

“Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

That scripture has never been truer than in the case of Fox News.

Americans have noticed that Fox News has been traveling in a Liberal direction ever since Rupert Murdoch left the running of the channel to his sons.

There are more Liberal Pundits and Anchors on Fox News than there have ever been in its history.

And, those who were not known until recently to be Liberal seem to be relishing the opportunity to drive away the audience which made Fox News Channel number one in the ratings for many, many years.

What is maddening to me is the fact that Former President Trump went out of his way to be kind to them, helping their ratings over his time in office through live phone calls and exclusive interviews, including one morning when he made a spontaneous appearance on “Fox and Friends”, consenting to a live on-the-spot interview with Steve Doocy.

So, why has Fox News repeatedly bitten the hand that feeds them?

Poor management.

The change in political viewpoint at Fox News has to be the worst marketing decision since “New Coke”.

And, just like New Coke, it has left a bitter taste in the mouths of millions of Americans.

So, are the powers-that-be at FNC bright enough to apologize to the millions of Americans who made them number one in the cable news ratings for years and made them all wealthy in the process?

Heck no.

They just keep doubling down on stupid, like AOC at a MENSA Meeting.

Fox News not only jumped the shark…they continue to gleeful feed the crocodile known as the Democratic Party , along with the “Never-Trumper” Wing of the Republican Party, hoping that it will eat them last.

Their arrogance is exceeded only by their stupidity.

Disgruntled Employee Shoots 13, Kills 1 Plus Himself at Kroger in Collierville, TN…What is Happening to Us?

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

 

Kroger Collierville

https://twitter.com/i_b_rockin/status/1441217326464974857?s=20

WREG.com reports that

Multiple people were injured Thursday in a shooting inside the Kroger on Byhalia and Poplar Avenue in Collierville, a Memphis suburb, after an active shooter incident officials are calling the “most horrific event” in the town’s history.

Collierville Police Chief Dale Lane confirmed 13 people were shot, and one person killed. The suspected shooter also is dead, possibly from a self-inflicted gunshot, Lane said.

A family member and a Collierville alderman has identified one of the victims as Olivia King.

The suspect’s vehicle is still parked and is being investigated. Sources say the suspect was a sub contractor who did work in the store’s deli department.

Lane said officers entered the store just after 1:30 and found multiple people shot, and employees in hiding. He could not comment on whether the shooter was an employee, saying it was under investigation.

Lane called it “the most horrific event that’s occurred in Collierville history.”

Multiple witnesses report hearing at least a dozen shots. Some customers made it out of the store. Employees had others take shelter in the cooler, witnesses said.

One employee named Brignetta Dickerson, who says she’s worked at the Kroger for 32 years, told WREG she hid with her coworkers and several customers when they heard the gunshots.

She said her only concern was her customers and coworkers.

“I’m still in shock right now,” said Dickerson. “But I was calm. I was calm and told the customers and my co-workers ‘Just sit down and relax. You’ll be okay.’”

Jean Kurzawski said she worked in the back of the Kroger and heard noises toward the front entrance. She thought balloons were popping at first until she saw customers running. She escaped out a back exit and said she heard gunshots continuing behind her.

“I was just thinking, oh I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, he’s gonna shoot me,” she said.

Collierville High School was briefly sheltering in place.

Multiple ambulances were seen entering Regional One Hospital in Memphis. The hospital reported it saw nine patients, four in critical condition and five non-critical.

Kroger released a statement on the shooting:

We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred at our Kroger store located on New Byhalia Rd. in Collierville, TN – a suburb of Memphis. The entire Kroger family offers our thoughts, prayers and support to the individuals and families of the victims during this difficult time. We are cooperating with local law enforcement, who have secured the store and parking lot. The store will remain closed while the police investigation continues, and we have initiated counseling services for our associates. To protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation, we are referring questions to the Collierville Police Department.

The Collierville store will remain closed until further notice, Kroger Delta Division spokeswoman Teresa Dickerson said.

“We are praying for our associates here in Collierville,” she said.

Collierville is a beautiful town right outside of Memphis, TN.

Having lived in the Memphis Area most of my life, I have high school friends who live in Collierville.

When the news came on in the break room where I work, my first thought was that one or more of them may have been in the Kroger Grocery Store when this horrible event occurred.

I immediately went to Facebook to check and, thank God, none of them were in the store at that time.

Since the shooting, word has come out and has been confirmed that a disgruntled employee was the shooter.

If gave me a horrible feeling of Deja Vu, as this was very similar to the Southaven, MS Walmart Shooting back in July of 2019 when a fired employee ambushed the Store Manager as he got out of his car as he arrived to work. The murderer set the baby area of the store on fire and then killed the grocery manager, who also had a part in his firing.

That piece of trash got burned but survived.

I am sure that over the next several days that the Powers-That-Be in Memphis will get their mugs in front of every Television News Camera that they can and holler for “Gun Control”, which will be an extremely hypocritical move being that Memphis is the Third Most Dangerous City in America.

As Democratically-controlled cities like Memphis, Chicago, and New York have found out the hard way, strict gun control laws do not work.

Outlaws will find a way to get guns. That is why they are called “outlaws”.

And the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Guns can not pull their own trigger.

What happened yesterday was horribly tragic.

Unfortunately, we live in a different culture than a lot of us grew up in.

When God’s Word is replaced by man’s Political Expediencies, society begins to call good “evil” and evil “good”.

And, without having a Solid Rock to stand on, society crumbles.

Until He Comes,
