The question of the day is, why have any Republicans voted to confirm any of Biden's Cabinet appointees? Every one of them has been chosen not for his expertise in any sphere of influence, but for his radicalism; the farther left these people are, the better in Biden's (?) view.

HHS secretary Xavier Becerra 'exploring' abortion facilities on federal land
Despite the high-decibel leftist rhetoric, abortion is not vanishing from America. Dobbs simply returned the question to the states. Nevertheless, the Biden administration, urged on by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is apparently exploring the possibility of putting abortion facilities on federal property. This is almost certainly illegal, but, as our southern border shows, a little thing like breaking the law isn't going to stop the Biden administration. There is an amusing irony, though, with the plan, at least if it comes to an ad campaign such as "Visit Yellowstone and get an abortion while you're there."
In the short clip, below, of an interview with Health and Human Services secretary Xavier Becerra, Chuck Todd raises Ocasio-Cortez's idea about putting abortion facilities on federal property, although without mentioning that the Hyde Amendment makes it illegal to use federal funds for abortions unless the abortions are to save the mother or in the case of rape or incest. However, you can see that Becerra still says that his Department is considering the idea:
My suspicion is that the little window that HHS is exploring under Becerra's guidance is the fact that the Hyde limitation is solely for federal funds, not for funds from other sources:
(b) Nothing in the preceding section shall be construed as prohibiting the expenditure by a State, locality, entity, or private person of State, local, or private funds (other than a State's or locality's contribution of Medicaid matching funds).
(c) Nothing in the preceding section shall be construed as restricting the ability of any managed care provider from offering abortion coverage or the ability of a State or locality to contract separately with such a provider for such coverage with State funds (other than a State's or locality's contribution of Medicaid matching funds).
In other words, if someone else pays for the abortion facilities, including leasing space on the federal land, then women in a state that bans abortion can travel to a federal park within that state to get an abortion. I will not opine about whether that's a good idea or, as the old saying goes, it's "too clever by half," because I'm not very conversant with this area of law.

However, the notion of abortion mills on federal lands (e.g., "Come to the Shiloh Civil War battlefield in Mississippi and get an abortion") struck me as very funny. Why? Because just a week or so ago, Vice, a hard-left outlet, was insisting that the American national parks are hotbeds of White Supremacy that are so off-putting that Blacks are loath to set foot in them.
Combine that fact with the three things we know about abortion. First, Margaret Sanger, the godmother of American abortion, was a eugenicist who wanted to use birth control to phase out the "unfit" in America. Second, Planned Parenthood targets minorities, with 86% of Planned Parenthood facilities in minority communities. Third, much of the shrieking from the left about the Dobbs decision has been framed as an attack on the Supreme Court for being racist by depriving poor Black women of abortion access.
So, on the one hand, you have the fact that abortion has long been, and continues to be, targeted at Black women. And on the other hand, you have the possibility that the newest abortion facilities in America will be placed in the very national parks that the left insists are hotbeds of KKK-style anti-Black White supremacy.
What this means is that if — solely for the sake of argument — one accepts the leftist contention about national parks, there's something fiendishly amusing about the fact that AOC and Becerra want to put abortion facilities in the heart of the same national parks that, like Planned Parenthood itself, are home to those who want to rid America of Black people.
Of course, in a sane world, we understand that, given the Holocaust of Black babies consumed through abortion, it's the pro-lifers who support the Black community, not the pro-abortionists, who are doing everything they can to wipe out more Black lives. Put another way, for the pro-lifers, Black Lives really do matter at a profound spiritual and moral level. Plunking an abortion facility next to Martin Luther King's home or on a Civil War battlefield is the greatest insult that can be offered to all those, both Black and White, who have fought for liberty for all Americans, no matter their race.
The question of the day is, why have any Republicans voted to confirm any of Biden's Cabinet appointees? Every one of them has been chosen not for his expertise in any sphere of influence, but for his radicalism; the farther left these people are, the better in Biden's (?) view.

As in 2016, Democrats advance a corrupt ruling-class candidate. Like the dead man Gary Ernst, Democrats want people to vote for Joe Biden so they can swap him out for Kamala Harris, already a beneficiary of voter fraud and with the exception of Xavier Becerra possibly the worst attorney general in California history.
Biden Admin Weighs Setting Up Abortion Clinics on Federal Lands in Red States: ‘Every Option Is on the Table’
President Joe Biden’s administration is weighing setting up abortion providers on federal land in Republican-controlled states, according to Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Xavier Becerra.
Becerra said that “every option is on the table” during Tuesday remarks about the fate of abortion in the United States following the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Becerra said HHS is “aware of a number of ideas and proposals” when asked about the possibility of setting up abortion clinics on federal lands.
Becerra said:
What I can tell you is that we are aware of a number of ideas and proposals, many of which we have been considering internally ourselves. We have made no decisions yet. We certainly would have a conversation with the president to make sure we implement his directives to us in trying to protect women’s reproductive healthcare services.
Becerra’s remarks come after prominent Congressional Democrats have called on Biden to install abortion clinics on federal lands.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is among those who have made such calls. Warren said Biden should “explore just how much we can start using federal lands as a way to protect people who need access to abortions in all the states that either have banned abortions or are clearly on the threshold of doing so.”
“There is much we can do at the federal level administratively under current law. We need to do it,” Warren added.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also urged Biden to do the same, calling the move “the babiest of baby steps.”
“I’ll start with the babiest of the babiest of baby steps: Open abortion clinics on federal lands in red states right now,” Ocasio-Cortez said outside of the Supreme Court on Friday.
Becerra also confirmed that Biden’s administration is looking to preserve access to abortion-inducing medication, calling it “a national imperative and in the public interest.”
Becerra’s remarks seemingly contradict other members of Biden’s White House. On Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris claimed the administration is not considering installing abortion clinics on federal land.
“It’s not right now what we are discussing,” Harris told CNN.
Interestingly, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre rejected the idea on the same day Becerra said it was an option “on the table.”
Jean-Pierre described the progressive proposal as “well-intentioned” but cautioned that there are “dangerous ramifications to doing this.”

Xavier Becerra, currently a 12-year member of Congress, is an admitted member of MEChA, or “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan,” often likened to a Latino KKK.
Becerra has publicly defended MEChA, even though the Chicano supremacist group evangelizes discrimination against non-Hispanics and calls for the killing of Border Patrol “pigs.” MEChA’s rallying cry is: “For the race, everything; For those outside the race, nothing.”
CALIFORNIA COMRADES CHOOSE COMRADE HOLDER

Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job.
Eric Holder
In Part One of this series, we exposed the Chicano Marxist take over of the California legislature and their plans to defy federal immigration laws and expected actions of the incoming Trump administration. Gov. Jerry Brown’s nomination of Xavier Becerra to be California’s next Attorney General was the first of many steps to protect the pervasive lawlessness of the radical left. Becerra has already taken an aggressive and combative stance against President-elect Donald Trump, vowing to fight Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration laws, and even block attempts to deport criminal illegal aliens. Trump’s campaign centered on building a wall along the United States border with Mexico to keep out illegal immigrants, violent gangs, and terrorists posing as immigrants.

Becerra’s Radical Plans
Recently, the State Assembly Committee on the Office of the Attorney General asked nominee Becerra to detail his plans on the issues of immigration, civil rights, the environment, policing and consumer protection – apparently the only issues the California Legislature is interested in Becerra defending.
In a letter released Saturday, Becerra praised California’s policies helping illegal aliens get driver’s licenses, free college tuition, and free lawyers to represent them in deportation cases, calling it “national leadership.”
“All of these policies and programs are representative of California’s values as a welcoming state,” Becerra wrote to the Assembly committee.
Becerra also took a shot at Trump for proposing to create a registry of Muslim immigrants during the campaign.”Disturbing statements uttered during the recent Presidential campaign have given rise to legitimate fears that the new federal administration might seek to adopt policies that would discriminate against people based on factors such as their religious belief,” Becerra wrote. “Any such policies would be antithetical to the deepest constitutional values and traditions of this nation — a nation founded in part by men and women fleeing religious persecution.”
“I have no intention of allowing this policy through the doors of California,” he wrote.
Like a good progressive foot soldier, Becerra also vowed to fight for abortion, calling it “reproductive freedom.”
Becerra said he will support California’s recent legislation expanding voter registration and participation in elections. He might want to look into the 650,000 newly registered California voters, registered online only weeks before the election. According to the Los Angeles Times, “98% of all the growth in California’s voter ranks in 2016 happened in just the last 45 days of the registration season.”
As Attorney General, Becerra has vowed to continue enforcing policies to combat climate change and work to “transition Californians to a low-carbon way of life.” Becerra added that a part of environmental protections is safe drinking water and vowed to “pursue the goal of providing safe drinking water to all Californians.” Perhaps Becerra can begin by supporting the safe drinking water bills that Assemblyman Devon Mathis has tried to get passed over the last two years? In Mathis’ district, wells began going dry in East Porterville more than three years ago, with more continuing to dry up every day.
Assemblyman Devon Mathis, R-Porterville, authored the bills to provide $10 million to homeowners (not farmers) to dig deeper wells and clean contaminated ones.
Both bills passed through the Assembly and a state Senate committee without opposition, only to have Senate Appropriations Chairman Ricardo Lara, D-Los Angeles and Mecha activist, put both bills on suspense– one after the other, killing them and depriving 10,000+ low-income individuals access to running water. Sen. Lara was playing politics with this Republican bill, despite the 10,000 poor people who need the clean water.
Sanctuary Cities
California, through its 35 Sanctuary Cities, is clearly violating U.S. Federal Immigration law. Recently, Democrat members of the State Legislature proposed two bills: SB 6 by Sen. Ben Hueso, to create a state program to fund legal representation for illegal aliens facing deportation, and AB 3 by Assemblyman Rob Bonta to create taxpayer-funded training for defense attorneys and public defenders on immigration law for illegal aliens.
And now California is going to try to prevent the new Presidential administration from enforcing federal immigration law despite the fact that the Constitution clearly imposes a duty on the president and the executive branch, to enforce the law.
Hiring Eric Holder… for what?
Democrats in the California State Legislature apparently decided Becerra isn’t enough legal muscle, and recently hired former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder to fight a “clear and present danger” from President-elect Trump… the same former Attorney General Eric Holder who was once blasted for helping to trigger a “war” on police and called America “a nation of cowards” on the issue of race. However, he now says he sees his “younger” self in Black Lives Matter activists… this is who California hired to assist California’s top law enforcement officer?
Since Trump — who is not referring to himself as “The Office of President-Elect,” as his predecessor did — has not yet taken office, nor any official actions, it is hard to see specifically for what purpose Holder has been hired.
There certainly is poetic justice in hiring the failed Attorney General of the failed Obama Administration to defend the failed and deteriorating policies of the Jerry Brown administration and radical Democrats running the state.
Described as a “devious, power-hungry, racial zealot,” Eric Holder is also a dubious choice since he is the only U.S. Attorney General in history to be held in contempt of Congress, when he refused to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents to Congress. One of the most reckless law enforcement operations ever conducted by the Justice Department, it involved selling guns to Mexican drug cartels, and resulted in the death of a U.S. border patrol agent, Brian Terry, as well as hundreds of Mexican citizens.
Under Holder’s watch at the DOJ Civil Rights Division, more than half of all the lawyers hired were chosen from four radical, anti-American organizations: the ACLU, National Council of La Raza, NAACP, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights, John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky outlined in their 2014 book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.”
Additionally, the Justice Department under Holder, and now Loretta Lynch, has one of the worst records before the U.S. Supreme Court, losing significantly more cases than either of the Bush or Clinton Departments of Justice. “In most administrations, the department wins about 70 percent of the cases before the Supreme Court; Mr. Holder’s department has a losing record and has lost at least nine cases 9-0–even with Obama appointees Elena Kagen and Sonia Sotomayor on the court,” wrote Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, in a review of “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.”
Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a records request with the California Legislature Joint Rules Committee seeking to examine legislative records regarding the state’s employment of former Obama U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. The record request includes:
All contracts between the California Legislature and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling.
All communications between the California Legislature and former U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling about the Legislature’s retention of Holder and/or Covington and Burling.
“Judicial Watch’s records request is designed to expose how California state legislators are wasting tax dollars to take care of another corrupt politician – Eric Holder – under the guise of resisting the rule of law on immigration and other matters,” stated Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “His record at the Clinton and Obama Justice Departments demonstrates a willingness to bend the law in order to protect his political patrons.”
The hiring of Eric Holder by the California Legislature confirms a lack of confidence in Xavier Becerra by Gov. Brown and Democrats in the Legislature–which must be quite humiliating for Becerra, especially after his promise to uphold California’s “progressive” policies on immigration, Obamacare, energy, and criminal justice. “If you want to take on a forward-leaning state that is prepared to defend its rights and interests, then come at us,” Becerra said, directing his comment to Trump. Choosing Holder also reiterates the anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-religion movement of Marxists in America, but particularly in California. The biggest obstacle standing between Marxism and Marxist domination of the world is America, and the U.S. Constitution. And standing between a Marxist takeover of America is California – only when California is destroyed can Marxists proceed.
