GEORGE SOROS PARTNERS WITH BARACK OBAMA and ERIC HOLDER TO CREATE A GLOBALIST REGIME FOR THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS and CRONY BANKSTERS…. Open borders and endless hordes of illegals will make it happen!

YOU WONDERED WHY OBAMA-HOLDER WORKED SO HARD TO SABOTAGE AMERICAN VOTING FOR MORE ILLEGALS???

Those are the subliterate, low-skill, non-English-speaking indigents whose own societies are unable or unwilling to usefully educate and employ them. Bring these people here and they not only need a lot of services, they are putty in the hands of leftist demogogues as Hugo Chavez demonstrated - and they are very useful as leftist voters who will support the Soros agenda.


The Leftist Strategy: Take America Down before Anyone Notices

Admiral Grace Hopper once said it's "much easier to apologize than to get permission."  She's right.  To ask is to risk being endlessly bounced through the bureaucracy or swamped in useless, redundant forms.  Even worse, you could be told no. 

Today many in position to make laws or issue orders are fully embracing this plan: push ahead, ignore the law, and just get it done.  The beauty of this plan is that it's much harder, if not impossible, to undo something already in place.  Thus the Deep State, globalists, insurgents utilize the "don't ask, can't fail" strategy, where even an unlawful or unconstitutional order is treated as real law until the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) says otherwise. 

Thus, these racketeers can enforce their illegitimate orders for months, even years while the case makes its way through the judicial maze.  If they lose the case, they can appeal to a higher court and appeal again and again until the case finally reaches SCOTUS.  Watching our illustrious court system in action is like watching grass grow in a drought.

Case in point: The "pandemic" caught the American people off guard, and governors-turned-dictators trampled the Constitution.  They closed schools, imposed martial law, shut down small businesses, even churches and synagogues.  When businesses could "reopen," they were restricted on how much of their space could be utilized, how many customers allowed in at a time. 

This autocratic takeover shows how the "just do it" scheme can quickly bring an entire nation to heel.  Government can issue any order, even one that blatantly defies existing state law or the Constitution because no one can stop them real time.

Insurgents used this "just do it" game plan to rig the 2020 presidential election.  They illegally set up drop boxesbypassed state legislatures to eliminate signature verification, sent mail-in ballots to everyone despite special requirements in some states, and instituted the "count 'til you win" policy.

Resident Biden used this ploy to cancel the Remain in Mexico order, to cancel oil and gas leasings on federal land, to enact the eviction moratorium, push the federal vaccine mandate,, and the list of the almighty pen goes on.

Then Biden created a new Disinformation Governance Board, a censorship department openly in defiance of the 1st Amendment.  While free speech is under attack by the federal government, we wait for the courts to confirm that attacking free speech is indeed unconstitutional.  And we wait and wait and wait. 

Even when SCOTUS finally gets the case, slaps hands, and says the law can't stand, the defendants can simply refuse to obey.  Example: A Supreme Court decision shot down New York's concealed carry gun permit law that set a high bar for concealed carry licenses.  Yay!  Or maybe not.

New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul fired back, "We are not powerless in this situation."  And she wasted no time defying the Court.  She called the Legislature back for an "extraordinary session," where they passed a new law far more restrictive than the first. 

Applicants for a license to carry a handgun will be required to provide four character references and take 16 hours of gun safety training and two hours of shooting practice at a range. They'll be subject to periodic background checks and will have to turn over social media accounts and contact information for adults living in their household.  Concealed weapons will be prohibited from a number of areas, including Times Square, subway buses, bars, government buildings, churches, schools, libraries, playgrounds, parks and homeless shelters.

In other words, the 2nd Amendment is dead in New York.  Yeah, yeah — this will be knocked down in court someday, maybe.  But meanwhile, New York is forced to live outside the Constitution.

And now our illustrious Congress has passed the people's disarmament bill (Safer Communities Act).  This bill expands background checks on gun-buyers ages 18–20, prevents people convicted of domestic abuse from owning a gun, and provides funds to bribe states to pass red flag laws.

Thus, legislatures and governors can violate the SCOTUS ruling (Caniglia v. Strom).  In that decision, Justice Thomas wrote that the very core of the Fourth Amendment is the right of a person to retreat into his home and "there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion."  But now it's law, so again we give an illegitimate law safe harbor from the Constitution as government again plays the "oh, yeah, who's gonna make me" game.

As of now, SCOTUS will "make them," but what if Democrats find a way to make liberal activists the majority?  What if they pack the Court, which they're trying to do, or kill off a conservative justice, which some are also trying to do?  That could tip the balance once Justice Roberts finally openly declares his allegiance to the new world order.  Then the Constitution will be but a memory.

Will we wait for these scoundrels to find a way to make their coup d'état lawful?  Will we accept any and all of their fake decrees as legitimate?  We think we're doing the right thing as we patiently wait for a judge to swoop in and save the Constitution?

In the end, it's not up to a judge to save our Republic.  It's up to the people.  And we have a moral duty to defy unlawful edicts.

"One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws."

—Martin Luther King, Jr.

Americans must stop waiting for permission from the government to protest the government, must stop obeying unconstitutional orders until we get permission to stop obeying unconstitutional orders.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of a higher obligation...To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means."

—Thomas Jefferson

The people must resist this piecemeal tyranny with every ounce of our energy.  Let this government know we won't live outside the Constitution; we won't recognize blatant unconstitutional orders.  The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are the only true laws in these United States.  Any "law" that defies these founding documents is illegitimate on its face.  We must impugn every single one of these unconstitutional trespasses.  

"When the People once surrender ... their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it."

—John Adams

Don't be afraid to resist, America.  The ultimate prize — liberty, our Republic — is worth any risk.  Too many have suffered, lost everything, even died for our freedom.  We cannot simply let it slip away. 

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

—Edmund Burke

Blackburn: Inflation Raising the Possibility of Food Shortages

4:01

Friday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) explained how inflation, which she said was caused partly by the Biden administration’s embrace of the so-called Green New Deal, could lead to problems down the road.

Blackburn told “Hannity” fill-in host Sean Duffy that food shortages were possible because of farmers’ inability to plant as much because of the rising cost of fertilizer.

Transcript as follows:

DUFFY: Joining me now is Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn. Marsha, good to see you.

I got to tell you what. So listening to Congresswoman Escobar’s explanation of why we’re feeling this pain right now is that we didn’t actually transition to green energy early enough as opposed to we’re not drilling more in America, producing more American energy. What say you?

SEN. MARSHA BLACKBURN (R-TN): I say that now they’re trying to make it the people’s fault, because we didn’t fall in line with that Green New Deal and that socialist agenda and do this decades ago. And if we had, then we wouldn’t be having this problem now.

It is just amazing to me. They cannot ever say that Joe Biden said, he was going to end the oil and gas industry. And on day one, he said about taking the steps to make that promise come true.

With the Keystone with taking ANWR offline with your offshore drilling being ended, stopping fracking. The list goes on and on. He’s had 42 regulations since he took office that are directed directly at making it more difficult for the oil and gas industry to drill, to explore, to produce, to refine here in the United States.

DUFFY: Senator, he did run on that, right? He indicated listen, I’m going to attack American oil and gas and energy. He did say that and some people might give him kudos for sticking to his promise.

But you and I both served in the House together. I mean, at one point when your policies don’t help people, but actually hurt people, are kicking more people into poverty, you would think a leader would pivot and go, You know what, no, no, this actually isn’t working. I want to make sure my people are ok, that they can afford groceries. They can put gas in their car to go to work, so they can make a living for their family.

BLACKBURN: That is right. And I’ve been in five Tennessee counties today. And, Sean, it is amazing. Every one of them are worried about their county budgets. They hope that the budgets hold to the end of the year.

One of the counties was telling me about how the price of energy and inflation affects everything, all these county budgets, they needed some eight-inch pipe for a water line, they had been paying $4 a foot for that pipe. You know what it is right now? $14.50 a foot.

So all of these products that come from derivatives of oil and gas, you’re seeing the price hikes there too. Inflation at 9.1 percent, your groceries going through the roof, your price at the pump through the roof. People just cannot afford this.

And you know what, Sean, the food shortages, the fear this is causing with people, the way they’re anticipating food shortages, because in rural America, they know that the farmers are not planting as much this year to go into that supply chain for our food that you’re going to see on the shelves next year. And the reason they’re not planning, the cost of fertilizer, the cost of diesel, they cannot afford to get the crop in the ground.

DUFFY: Which is now going to drive up the cost of food. This is a vicious cycle, Senator. I know you see it firsthand in Tennessee. I see it firsthand in Wisconsin. And you know what, we’re grateful we have people like you fighting for some common sense policies in the Senate.

So thank you for joining me tonight too. I always appreciate your common sense.

BLACKBURN: Good. Good to be with you.

Brooks: Progressives Want to Talk Guns, Abortion, ‘Entire Rest of the Country’ Cares about Economy

2:06

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that there is “a giant gap between what a lot of Democrats want to talk about and what the whole rest of the country wants to talk about.” Because while “Progressives want to talk about abortion and guns. The entire rest of the country…they want to talk about the economy.” And argued that the economy is why President Joe Biden’s approval numbers are doing so badly and why Hispanic voters are trending Republican.

Brooks said, “Now, abortion rights defenders, they should pursue their cause with the passion that they’re bringing to it. And so, I don’t want — nothing I say should dissuade anybody from pursuing that cause. But there is just a giant gap between what a lot of Democrats want to talk about and what the whole rest of the country wants to talk about. And if you ask people, what [are] the most important issues? Progressives want to talk about abortion and guns. The entire rest of the country, independents, conservatives, unaffiliated people, they want to talk about the economy. And, for them, the economy is way up here. Jobs are number one. Inflation’s number two. And so, why is Joe Biden at 33% approval in the latest Times poll? It’s the economy. Why, in the same poll, do half of Hispanics support the Republicans now? The economy.”

He added, “I think that’s probably a little outlier. But we’ve had a whole series of polls showing a lot of Hispanic movement moving over to the Republican Party and turning it into really a multiracial, working-class party. And so if people — they should pursue their passions, and they should pursue these issues. But if Democrats — if they’re not talking about economic policy every day, then they’re just not talking about the policy that is clearly ranking number one with a vast majority of voters.”

Bidenflation: More than 1 in 5 Americans forced to use food banks or skip meals -TIPP

Less than a year ago, Joe Biden dismissed inflation with "I don't know anybody" who is "worried about inflation." He declared that "no serious economist" is, dismissing the warnings of heavyweight monetary expertstrade organizations, and even establishment Democrat economists.

“There’s nobody suggesting there’s unchecked inflation is on the way. No serious economist,” President Joe Biden said on Monday, in a Breitbart News story dated July 19, 2021.

Inflation, which clocked in at 9.1% this past Friday in the CPI, in fact, has been building for months, following a series of five gargantuan Democrat-led congressional stimulus bills premised on COVID relief mostly. The last of these passed in March 2021 as Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan Act, pumping $1.9 trillion into the economy. When the Federal Reserve prints up cash to pay for these ventures, the money doesn't have enough actual economy to absorb the newly minted dollar bills, which is what turns that cash into inflation. It's comparable to the way the human body converts excess carbs and calories it can't use into fat. And sure enough, we have a fathead president who's still denying everything he sees on the economic scale, claiming that Big Meat, greedy gas station owners and Vladimir Putin did it.

But it's no joke to Americans who are now going hungry as a result of this Bidenflation. As in hungry, thin, starving...

One out of five are reduced to using food banks for sustanance now, according to a new report. Another one out of five are skipping meals in this land of plenty to keep food costs down.

A huge new survey from the respected pollster TIPP Insights conducted between July 6 and July 9 has found the shocking reality as to what Americans are going through as Joe lets the money roll in and out:

American families are spending 15% more than last year on food expenses. How are they coping with the cost increases?

The shocking finding is from the latest the Golden/TIPP Poll of 1,643 Americans completed past Friday.

The poll asked Americans how they were dealing with the higher food costs. While 88% of the survey respondents replied they were making changes, 10% said they had not made changes to their food budgets.

Given an option to choose all that applied, the survey found -

  • 50% Buying store brands more often
  • 47% Cutting down on high-ticket items (i.e., meats)
  • 36% Shopping at bargain stores
  • 34% Eating less (portion sizes)
  • 23% Skipping meals
  • 21% Go to food banks to supplement groceries
  • 20% Applied and got federal or state assistance such as SNAP/WIC
  • 17% Growing my vegetables
  • 2% Other

It's quite incredible that in the Land of Plenty, we are now going the way of the third world as a result of Joe Biden's Argentina-like government spending impulses. A lot more than 21% of Americans are cutting back as a result of Bidenflation -- including reducing their portion sizes, cutting meat, buying cheaper brands, seeking federal handouts, anything to escape at least some of the effects of the ongoing miasma of inflation that hits everything priced in dollars. A whopping 17% of Americans are growing their own vegetables, in a labor-intensive victory-garden wish for something better. 

Things like food inflation hit every American where it hurts, and it's no surprise that other pollsters, such as Rasmussen, have found that inflation is the number one issue preoccupying voters, something the press is failing to cover. 

Mollie Hemingway has an important observation about the political implications of this, featured on RealClearPolitics:

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: This isn't a Joe Biden Problem, this is a problem shared by every voting member of the Democratic Party. The policies that made inflation so bad include spending packages supported by 100% of the Democrats in Congress. It's not really Biden economy as much as it is a Democrat economy.

It is almost a third term of the modern Democrat Party economy ushered in by Barack Obama.

The political issue is it is really in contrast with the Trump economy. Pre-Covid you had real wage growth, real wage gains for middle-class families and working-class families, and that does speak to why these people are moving to the Republican Party and away from the Democratic Party as the Democrats get more focused on pleasing their wealthy interests.

As rightly it should be a focus.

Democrats are not only out to a very expensive lunch as to what causes inflation -- which is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, as Milton Friedman put it -- they are still gobbling at the trough while one in five Americans is literally going hungry and reduced to begging for help.

The inflation picture isn't actually going to go down, even with a small drop in oil prices, which Joe Biden cited a day ago as reason to be hopeful. The Federal Reserve, which is now contemplating hiking rates by 100 basis points, sure doesn't think the falling energy prices will fix things as Joe claims. Inflation in fact is all over and affects every good priced in dollars, and it hits particularly hard in low-margin food prices which have seen double-digit spikes in many products. That 21% now going to food banks can easily become 40% or more, given the impact on inflation in a nation that has never experienced it this way.

TIPP notes that Biden's claim that Putin did it isn't selling with the people it polled. 

The problem is Biden, and his spendthrift Democrats. Every missed meal and absent chicken in the pot reminds the voters of that ugly reality.

America’s Summer Exodus: Thousands Flee The Cities Every Day Because They Don’t Feel Safe

THE INFLATION RATES MUCH, MUCH, MUCH HIGHER THAN LIAR LAWYER BIDEN ADMITS.

The Fed is terrified: Kevin Hassett


“The cost of living is tearing us apart”—Inflation rate in US hits 9.1 percent

The rate of inflation in the United States hit 9.1 percent in June, with consumer prices rising at the fastest pace since November 1981, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report released Wednesday. Across-the-board hikes in fuel, food, housing, medical care, clothing and other living expenses are squeezing household budgets. Everything is going up except workers’ paychecks.  

The increase in the Consumer Price Index, which rose from an already four-decade high of 8.6 percent in May, continued to be driven chiefly by surging energy and food costs. Energy prices shot up 7.5 percent last month and are up 41.6 percent over the last 12 months. Gasoline rose 11.2 percent in June and is up 59.9 percent over the last year. 

The current national average for a gallon of gas was $4.63 yesterday, according to the American Automobile Association, with prices in California at $6.02 a gallon. This means it takes $60 to fill up an average passenger car or $120 for a pickup truck or SUV. With an average manufacturing wage of $24.95 an hour before taxes, a factory worker now must labor anywhere from three to six hours just to pay for gas to go back and forth to work. Many now carpool to work, while lower-paid and part-time workers find it increasingly unaffordable to drive at all.

With electricity costs rising another 1.7 percent in June and 13.7 percent year-over-year, working class families and seniors on fixed incomes are shutting off lights and air conditioners despite the summer time heat wave. Natural gas rose 8.2 percent last month and 38.4 percent over the last year, leaving many wondering how they will heat their homes come the fall and winter.  

Food costs also continued to jump, with prices rising 1.3 percent between May and June and 10.5 percent over the last year, the highest increase since 1981. Many common food items have risen even higher over the last year, with eggs and margarine up 36 percent, chicken parts up 23 percent and whole milk prices up 18.8 percent.

The anti-hunger Feeding America program reported in March that 65 percent of its 200 food pantries had seen increased demand compared to previous months. One of its affiliates, the Killeen Food Care Center in central Texas, reported that it served a record 8,830 people in June, including 1,600 seniors. “We have fed the highest amount of people in our 35-year history,” Raymond Cockrell, the center’s executive director, told the Killeen Daily Herald.

Housing costs continued to rise last month too, up 0.6 percent in June and 5.6 percent over the year, the largest rise since 1991. The average price of a home in June was $350,000, up from $318,000 in June 2019. Financial speculators have exploited and exacerbated the situation, with corporate investors buying a record 18.4 percent of the homes sold in the US in the final quarter of 2021, according to real estate brokerage firm Redfin. 

Inflated housing prices, in addition to higher mortgage rates, have not only led adult children to postpone leaving their parents’ homes but also forced older adults to double and triple up to share costs.  

The rising price of private homes is also driving up the cost of rentals, which increased 0.8 percent in June, the largest monthly jump since 1986. The ending of eviction moratoriums and the drying up of government subsidies is leading to an explosion in evictions. Evictions in the greater Phoenix area have returned to pre-pandemic levels. Landlords in Phoenix filed 5,792 evictions in June, compared with 5,669 in June 2019, before the pandemic began. On Tuesday night, the Democratic-controlled Tucson City Council said it would end a moratorium on evictions in city-owned housing by August 1. Biden’s Department of Housing and Urban Development is pressing public housing authorities across the nation to collect more rents to keep HUD subsidies, the city council members said.

After the release of the inflation figures, Biden and other White House officials feigned concern, continued to blame Russia for spiking prices and claimed the situation was improving. On his way to visit the blood-soaked Saudi king to request the release of more oil, Biden said at a press conference in Israel that the Consumer Price Index report was “out-of-date” because it did not include the recent decline in gas prices. 

The chief concern of Biden is not the devastating social impact of inflation but the growing demands of workers for wage hikes to keep up with the surging cost of living. The White House is fully behind the moves by the US Federal Reserve, which is expected to raise interest rates by three-quarters of point at its next meeting on July 26-27, to drive up unemployment and even trigger a recession to beat back what Fed Chief Jerome Powell complained are the “highest wage increases in decades.” In reality, real income for workers, adjusted for inflation, fell another 1 percent in June and is down 3.6 percent from a year ago. 

“The cost of living is tearing us apart,” a young worker in Detroit who works for General Motors subsidiary, GM Subsystems, told the World Socialist Web Site on Tuesday. “Gas, food and everything else is high, but we’re not making any money. I can barely cover my bills.” The new two-year contract just signed by the United Auto Workers raises starting wages from $15 an hour to $18.50 but leaves them earning half the pay for doing the same work previously done by GM workers. 

“I’m still going to be bringing home around $700 a week. I’m a single parent. It takes two weeks for me to save enough to pay my $700 a month in rent. What is it like for people paying $1,200 a month or more for rent?” The worker said her grandparents worked at GM and Ford and that she was making less in real terms than they did 40 years ago. “It’s like everything else, we’re not moving forward,” she said.

“Inflation is hurting our bottom line all the time,” a worker at the Stellantis (Chrysler) Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Detroit said. “Food, gas and everything else is up. The oil companies are price-gouging, and I don’t understand why Biden isn’t stopping them. I guess it’s because government answers to big business, not us.”

He continued, “The stock market keeps going up, and the shareholders are making lots of profits. This is only widening the distance between us and the top 1 percent, who are making money hand over fist. A little more than 10 years ago, the government bailed out the banks. They did it again when the pandemic hit. Where did all that money go? It went for the big bonuses of the executives and shareholders. Biden is also finding billions for war. They could have bailed us out, but they didn’t.” 

There were 153 strikes involving approximately 73,500 workers between January and May, compared to 78 strikes involving around 22,500 workers over the same time period in 2021. Over the last two weeks alone, tens of thousands of workers have voted to walk out or have struck chiefly over wage demands. This includes railroad workers, Michigan nursing home workers, St. Louis public transit workers, defense industry workers at a General Dynamics plant, AT&T telecom workers in Alaska and concessions workers at Dodgers Stadium ahead of next week’s All-Star game in Los Angeles. 

The trade unions are working with the corporations and the Biden administration to keep a lid on this movement, which is part of a global upsurge of the working class against inflation, the profits-before-lives pandemic policy, and the efforts to force workers to pay the massive cost of the US-NATO proxy war against Russia. The high point of this movement is the revolutionary upheaval in Sri Lanka, where mass protests by workers and young people have forced the resignation of the president and prime minister. 

Over the last several weeks, the AFL-CIO unions have blocked strikes by 115,000 railroad workers, 24,000 West Coast dockworkers, tens of thousands of nurses and other health care workers in Michigan, Minnesota, New York and California, and auto parts workers at Ventra and GM Subsystems.

But anger is reaching a breaking point, and workers are increasingly striving to break the stranglehold of the corporatist unions and fight to defend their living standards. The International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC) was formed last year to unify workers across national boundaries to mount a counter-offensive against inequality, austerity and war. 

Workers should form rank-and-file committees in every workplace to demand inflation-busting wage increases, cost-of-living protection, fully paid health care and pension benefits, a ban on evictions and home foreclosures and the immediate cancellation of exorbitant credit card, student loan, car payment and household debts. 

Exclusive — Ship of Fools: 62 Percent of Biden Officials Who Handle Economic Policy Have Zero Years Business Experience Per Report

An explosive new analysis published by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity reveals that Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration has very few business-oriented officials in the administration and that the vast majority of people handling economic policy for the United States government under Biden have no business experience whatsoever.

The 15-page report, authored by economist Steve Moore and the Committee to Unleash Prosperity‘s executive director Jon Decker, was provided to Breitbart News exclusively ahead of its public release. The headline of the report is: “Not Ready for Prime Time Players: Majority of Biden Appointees have Zero Years of Business Experience.” The report analyzes the backgrounds of the “top 68 officials in the Biden administration, starting with the president himself, and including cabinet members, regulatory officials, and White House advisers.”

In the executive summary, the authors detail some key findings in the report. First and foremost, 62 percent of Biden’s top political appointees and staffers “who deal with economic policy, regulation, commerce, energy and finance have virtually no business experience.”

What’s more, only one out of eight Biden officials has what the authors deem “extensive business experience,” and the average level of business experience across the Biden administration is about 2.4 years. The median years of business experience among Biden’s top appointees is zero, since so few have any experience in the private sector, and the “vast majority of the Biden economic/commerce team members are professional politicians, lawyers, community organizers, lobbyists, or government employees.”

The appendix of the report lists out each of the 68 officials analyzed, starting with both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Both of them each have zero years of business experience. Attorney General Merrick Garland also has zero years of business experience, and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has zero years as well. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge, Ambassador for Climate Change John Kerry, Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young, Secretary of Eduction Miguel Cardona, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, and many, many more have zero years of business experience.

In Biden’s Cabinet and innermost circle, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain with 16 years, Secretary of Interior Deb Haaland with 11 years, and Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo with 11 years, have the most business experience close to the president. Isabel Guzman, the administrator of the Small Business Administration, has the most business experience of those analyzed with 20 years experience.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has just four years of business experience. The report authors note his business experience has not much to do with his Department as “he has virtually no experience in transportation or logistics.”

As compared with former President Donald Trump’s cabinet during his last year in office, the lack of private sector business experience in the Biden administration is stark. Trump’s team, per the authors, had an average of 13 years of business experience with a median years of experience of eight.

This report comes as inflation numbers announced earlier on Wednesday hit their highest levels in 40 years, with an annual rate rise of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) much higher than expected at 9.1 percent per the Department of Labor.

“As the United States battles the highest inflation rate in four decades; a stock market sell-off that has liquidated some $10 trillion of wealth and retirement savings; and fast-declining consumer, small business, and investor confidence; and there is widespread concern that America is in a recession or teetering on the verge of recession. For the first half of 2022, the economic growth rate has been negative, according to the latest forecast from the Atlanta Federal Reserve Board,” the study says. “Americans are deeply divided on the Biden administration’s progressive economic policy priorities: the focus on redistribution of income, higher tax rates on the rich, more social welfare programs, pro-union policies, a heavier hand of regulation of business, government-directed investment, and climate change remedies aimed at a dramatic altering of America’s energy mix. But putting ideology and partisan leanings aside, a new concern of voters has emerged: Do the top decision makers in Congress and the Biden administration have the basic skill sets and business/ management experience and acumen to oversee a $6 trillion federal government and to regulate our multi-trillion dollar industries? Polls show Americans are generally unhappy with the economic direction of the country today.”

The report also notes that many of the officials who do have some business experience in some respect—like Buttigieg—are not working in a field they are familiar with.

“The list of Biden administration officials that we compile in this report starts at the top with the resumes of the President and the Vice President,” the report authors write. “We also examine 68 of the top political appointees of the Biden administration, including his cabinet officers (who deal with domestic policy issues), the commissioners of the major influential regulatory agencies, and other high-ranking White House policy-making personnel.”

On a key findings page, several more statistics are revealed. Across all 68 top Biden officials in total there are just 161 years of business experience, and 42 of them have “virtually no business experience whatsoever.”

What’s more, the primary field of most of these Biden officials is one of the following three categories: politics and government, law, or academia and policy. Twenty-one of the 68 come from politics and government, 20 of them come from law, and 12 of them come from academia. Three come from a category called “consulting/public relations,” five from “venture capital/investments,” four from “education/health,” two from “miscellaneous business,” and one from “labor.”

“What is the takeaway from these findings? Surely we want our political class to have a diversity of backgrounds,” the authors write. “We want lawyers, grassroots activists, those with political and policy experience, scientists, health experts, and academics with required specialties. But we also want people who have experience running large operations with hundreds and thousands of employees and who understand logistics. We want people who know how to cut costs, manage logistics, increase productivity, meet payroll, and make a profit (or in the case of the government, avoid large losses). We need people at the top rungs of government who have experience dealing with large-scale crises (as we experienced during COVID), and also at least some familiarity with the everyday struggles that businesses have with the government.”

But it seems, the report authors note, that Biden’s focus on making “diversity” a major hiring “goal of its administration,” the U.S. government is now falling short when it comes to actually having people who know what they are doing with the economy in charge of economic policy. The authors note that “the one area that is sorely missing in this diversity goal is in attracting talented and experienced men and women from the field of small business, commerce, and finance.”

“When it comes to the government: Ignorance is not bliss,” the authors write. “These skills are sorely lacking in the Biden administration. The cascade of policy and management mistakes that are piling up in the Biden government are at least in part a consequence of this lack of basic skills and competency. Biden should fix the problem by replacing those chosen for their ideology, not the skills and talents our government needs and taxpayers rightly demand.”

Seems the illegal migrants are filling the Washington shelters now and she "fears" they are being tricked? Notice she didn't offer any specifics about such trickery, which is a fancy way of saying there hasn't been any trickery. Illegal border crossers are being offered free bus rides from Texas to Washington and a lot of them are taking the governor up on it, heading for the free stuff there after paying $7,000 to cartel human smugglers for the crossing. Cartels make money, cities and states lose money, and migrants get to stay in America for free.

Greg Abbott's 'publicity stunt' busing illegals from Texas to Washington, D.C. ... is working

With the border surge hitting historic highs, and Texas taking the brunt of Joe Biden's open borders, the Lone Star state's governor, Greg Abbott, announced a plan to bus illegal border crossers on a voluntary basis to Washington, D.C. He said it was to get Washington's attention. Washington's swamp denizens in the press and halls of power, calling it a publicity stunt.

What we are seeing now is that the much-derided "stunt" is working. 

Take a gander at the weird outrage from Washington, D.C.'s sanctuary-city-supporting mayor, Muriel Bowser, on the effects of that Abbott policy, according to Fox News:

Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser appeared on CBS’ "Face the Nation" on Sunday to discuss the persistent homelessness problem plaguing her city.

Host Margaret Brennen brought up a Washington Post report that suggested homeless shelters are now being filled with illegal immigrants being bused in from Texas and Arizona.

Bowser admitted that it’s a "significant issue" and called on the federal government to get more involved as she fears illegal immigrants are being "tricked" into traveling to her city.

"Well, this is a very significant issue. We have for sure called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses. We think they’re largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington, D.C. I worked with the White House to make sure that FEMA provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks. I fear that they’re being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America," Bowser said.

Seems the illegal migrants are filling the Washington shelters now and she "fears" they are being tricked? Notice she didn't offer any specifics about such trickery, which is a fancy way of saying there hasn't been any trickery. Illegal border crossers are being offered free bus rides from Texas to Washington and a lot of them are taking the governor up on it, heading for the free stuff there after paying $7,000 to cartel human smugglers for the crossing. Cartels make money, cities and states lose money, and migrants get to stay in America for free.

Bottom line here is that her city's shelters are being flooded with illegals, the cost is has got to be enormous, the shelters can't keep up, and now she's whining. Yet this is precisely what happened in Texas in its border towns, and now that Gov. Abbott is "sharing the wealth" with Washington, D.C., she's out complaining about migrants "being tricked" since she dare not complain at all about the actual problem of an open border that incentivizes illegal crossing.

Where was she when Joe Biden was (and still is) shipping illegal migrants all throughout the country, to places like Ohio, or Florida, or Maine, or Hawaii, using the real trickery of doing it in the dead of night to avoid complaints from the public? Seems that kind of busing is O.K. for others, just not Washington, D.C. That exposes her as a hypocrite right there.

Here's another instance of her hypocrisy -- this item from 2016 can still be found on her own mayoral website:

(Washington, DC) Today, Mayor Bowser issued the following statement reaffirming the District’s status as a sanctuary city:

"The values, laws, and policies of Washington, DC did not change on Election Day. We celebrate our diversity and respect all DC residents no matter their immigration status. We are a sanctuary city because we know that our neighborhoods are safer and stronger when no one is afraid to call on our government for help, and when our police can focus on protecting and serving."

When no one is afraid to call on our government for help, Muriel? Step right up to the plate then.

But instead, she's busy complaining, and it's pretty obvious she doesn't like having to eat the cost.

What she's effectively saying in her complaint is that she wants Texas to pay all the costs of illegal migration, instead of her own city. And being part of the Democrat establishment, she's been all in for everything the Biden administration has done, from flying illegals to other people's cities, to denying the state of Texas federal relief funding to deal with the effects of the Biden-incentivized border surge.

It's all fine when it happens to someone else. But being a member of the swamp elites, she just doesn't want it in her backyard.

What's clear to the rest of us that Abbott's much derided "stunt" is working. These complaints from Bowser should filter through soon into the the Democrat elites' circles in the halls of power and at some point, there will be hell to pay.

Biden Halts Prosecutions for Most Illegal Border Crossings

The Biden administration dramatically reduced migrant prosecutions by nearly 80 percent in the 2021 fiscal year, even as illegal crossings skyrocketed.

Just 2,896 migrants apprehended on the southwest border were transferred into U.S. Marshals Service custody in the 2021 fiscal year, according to an internal Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. In the 2020 fiscal year, 13,213 migrants were transferred to federal authorities for prosecution.

Internal DHS memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon

The precipitous drop in migrant prosecutions illustrates President Joe Biden’s break from prior administrations’ policies toward illegal immigration. Refraining from bringing criminal charges against the vast majority of individuals entering the country illegally also provides evidence for critics who say the White House is exacerbating the migration crisis on the southern border.

The decline in prosecutions for illegal border crossings also happened amid the worst border crisis in U.S. history. Migrant encounters on the southern border exceeded two million in 2021.

Under federal law, it is a misdemeanor crime to illegally cross the border. A second arrest for illegally crossing the border can be prosecuted as a felony. According to federal law, those found guilty of an illegal border crossing face fines and up to two years in prison.

"The lack of accountability from this administration encourages the worst people flooding our borders, criminals, to keep violating our laws until they finally commit a crime so egregious that the Department of Justice is forced to prosecute," a senior DHS official told the Free Beacon.

In the 2019 fiscal year, 20,604 migrants were transferred to Marshals Service custody for prosecution. The previous year, former president Donald Trump halted prosecutions of parents who crossed into the country illegally with children.

Defenders of the White House will likely say the drop in prosecutions can be almost entirely attributed to Title 42—a public health regulation that allows authorities to rapidly expel migrants who enter the country. With Title 42 in effect, law enforcement does not need to process migrants in a typical manner and instead works to expel them as quickly as possible.

But Trump instituted Title 42 in March 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and still prosecuted far more migrants than in Biden’s first year of his presidency. Moreover, illegal border crossings in 2020 were much lower than in 2021, which saw the most migrant apprehensions in U.S. history.

Biden ordered an end to Title 42 in April, although legal challenges from Republicans have temporarily kept it in place. The Biden administration has not yet released border crossing prosecution data for the 2022 fiscal year.

Beyond attempting to eliminate Title 42, the Biden administration has worked to undo immigration policies from the Trump administration. Last month, the Supreme Court authorized Biden to terminate the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which forces many migrants to wait in Mexico before their asylum court hearing in the United States. 

The Free Beacon in December reported on deportations plummeting to the lowest number in decades under Biden. The White House has also stonewalled congressional investigations into where DHS is placing illegal immigrants after they are released into the U.S. interior. 

Biden Admin Stonewalls on Release of Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Into New York

The Biden administration has spent nearly eight months stonewalling a congressional investigation into its relocation and vetting of nearly 3,000 illegal immigrant children to New York.

Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R., N.Y.), a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, accused the administration of stymieing congressional attempts to obtain information about a series of 2021 flights that carried unaccompanied immigrant children from the southern border to communities in New York.

"Almost eight months have passed since my initial letter, and six months since my second letter, and I have yet to receive a response from your administration," Garbarino wrote in a letter sent Friday to the White House and Department of Homeland Security, a copy of which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. "Now, additional acts of crime and violence are surfacing, and I remain troubled by the potential security and health risks that these undocumented migrants pose to my constituents."

Garbarino and other Republicans in Congress who oversee DHS suspect that the administration did not properly perform security screening and medical tests on these undocumented children before introducing them into U.S. communities, some of which have since experienced a spike in crime attributed to these illegal immigrants. The Biden administration tried to keep these flights secret, but media reports late last year exposed the effort, sparking congressional ire and a spate of investigations. Nearly a year later, it has become clear that the relocation of these minors poses a security risk, including increased recruitment by the MS-13 gang.

"The tactics you've used to transport migrants in the dead of night and your failure to provide state and local leaders with sufficient security or demographic data and resources has left Long Island communities to suffer the consequences of your misguided immigration policies," Garbarino wrote.

The lawmaker is asking the Biden administration to brief Congress on its relocation effort and hand over information "about who these people are, what their security vetting and COVID-19 screening status is, and how local resources will be impacted." Garbarino also wants details about "what you intend to do moving forward in light of these growing concerns about public safety and security in my district and in communities across the United States."

The Biden administration's "weak policies have directly resulted in an increased threat of crime and gang violence on Long Island," Garbarino wrote.

Last week, five teenagers living at the MercyFirst children's center in Syosset, N.Y., one of the locations to which illegal immigrants were sent, conducted a series of burglaries at seven small businesses that resulted in "thousands of dollars of damage as a result of the actions of unsupervised minors," according to Garbarino.

The burglaries came several months after a violent brawl broke out at MercyFirst, leaving one law enforcement officer with a broken hand and another with concussion.

These incidents have reignited concerns over the lack of security screening implemented by the administration when it decided to relocate the immigrant children.

"Ongoing media reports highlighting crime and violence surrounding the MercyFirst shelter brings to the forefront the question of whether if unaccompanied migrants relocated there by your administration have played a role in creating or exasperating the problem," Garbarino wrote.

Minors who are dumped into U.S. communities are susceptible to recruitment from violent gangs, such as MS-13, that prey on vulnerable children. The administration's refusal to provide Congress and state officials with information about these undocumented minors makes it more likely they will fall victim to gangs, Garbarino says.

"If we don't have a clear picture of who these children are and when they are being brought to New York, we can't safeguard them or our community from that eventuality," Garbarino wrote. "MS-13 is a scourge in my district and will continue to exploit the cracks in our nation's immigration system and corrupt vulnerable minors unless changes are made."

Two Illegal Immigrants Arrested In Connection With Death of Dozens of Migrants

Two illegal immigrants have been arrested for their alleged role in the deaths of more than 50 migrants in San Antonio.

Prosecutors filed criminal complaints against two Mexican nationals on Tuesday evening in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, charging the men with illegal possession of a firearm "by an alien illegally in the United States." The two men first entered the country on a travel visa but never returned to Mexico following its expiration.

Police arrested the men following an investigation into the registration of the semi-truck containing dozens of migrants, most of whom died from dehydration and exhaustion and were found by a nearby pedestrian. At least 51 of the migrants found in the truck have died—the worst migrant death incident ever recorded in the United States.

The new details related to deaths of the migrants highlight how cartel-connected smugglers have been emboldened amid the worst immigration crisis in U.S. history. Law enforcement and immigration experts say the sheer number of migrants attempting to enter the country has led to more callousness by smugglers, who increasingly view people as commodities who can be discarded.

"All were the apparent victims of human smugglers indifferent to the well-being of human life. The South Texas heat is brutal this time of year, especially given the recent record-high temperatures," U.S. attorney Ashley Hoff said in a statement.  "We will continue to work with the Homeland Security Investigations and the local responders to identify and bring those who were responsible for this tragedy to justice."

Both of the men arrested admitted to illegally owning the firearms, which included an assault-style rifle, multiple handguns, and a shotgun. The two men also admitted to being in the United States illegally.

A third man, whom law enforcement say is a U.S. citizen, has also been detained. What roles the men played in the incident remain unclear.

If found guilty, the two men face up to 10 years in prison for the weapons-related charges.

Men Behind ‘Potential Massacre’ in Virginia Were Illegal Immigrants

Two men arrested for plotting a mass shooting at a Fourth of July fireworks show in Richmond, Va., were illegal immigrants.

Police arrested the men earlier this month following an anonymous tip that the two were planning an attack at the Dogwood Dell Amphitheater. During the arrests, Richmond police seized two assault-style rifles, one handgun, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Both men were charged with possession of firearms by non-U.S. citizens, according to court records. A Richmond police spokeswoman said at a press conference that the two suspects are from Guatemala. 

The incident is the second high-profile crime by illegal immigrants in recent weeks. Two illegal immigrants were arrested in Texas for their alleged role in the deaths of more than 50 migrants left in a semi-trailer. 

The weapons possessed by the Virginia suspects also raises questions about how gun control laws could prevent such attacks in the future. Both men were not allowed to purchase any firearms under federal law. Richmond authorities said they are working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to trace where the suspects' weapons and ammunition came from.

The two suspects were roommates in the Richmond area. At least one of the men was living in the United States on an expired visa, and the Associated Press reported that court filings show both are living in the United States illegally. 

The motivation behind the attack is unknown. Police say there is no reason to believe there was any connection to previous mass shootings. At least one man was offered $15,000 bail. 

"We know their intent. Their intent was to conduct a mass shooting at our Fourth of July celebration," Richmond police chief Gerald Smith said at the press conference.

The amphitheater targeted in the alleged plot seats more than 2,000 people. Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R., Va.) called the anonymous tipster a "hero" who helped prevent a "potential massacre."

Biden’s Border Crisis Puts Country on Pace for Largest Foreign-Born Population in US History

Illegal immigrants account for two-thirds of growth in foreign-born population, study shows

The foreign-born population of the United States has reached its highest level in more than a century under President Joe Biden, a surge driven by the record number of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. 

The country's foreign-born population reached 47 million by the end of April, compared to 44.7 million when Biden was elected in November 2020, according to data compiled in a new paper from the Center for Immigration Studies, meaning the immigrant population has grown at a rate of 132,000 per month. Two-thirds of that growth, the paper's authors estimate, can be attributed to illegal immigration.

The paper sheds light on the rapid demographic changes taking place under the Biden administration that are largely a consequence of a border crisis with little end in sight. The rate of growth of the foreign-born population on Biden's watch is shattering levels during previous administrations—in former president Barack Obama’s first term, the foreign-born population grew at a rate of 59,000 per month, and 76,000 per month in his second term. That rate shrunk under former president Donald Trump, when the foreign-born population grew by an average of 42,000 a month before the COVID-19 pandemic, which shut down migration into the United States.

Over the last 22 years, the foreign-born population has jumped by 51 percent and now makes up a total of 14.3 percent of the U.S. population. In 1970, the foreign-born population made up just 4.7 percent of the country, a third of what it is today.

Under Biden, the foreign-born population has grown at twice the rate of the native born population. Such a large discrepancy in growth rates between the two populations has not been observed in the United States since 1910, when the foreign-born population approached 14.7 percent before dramatically dropping for the next 50 years. The paper's authors attribute the historic growth to a number of factors relating to the current administration's weak immigration posture.

"The administration’s suspension of nearly all interior deportations and the resulting dramatic decline in immigration enforcement, including deportations, plus its refusal to automatically take custody of non-citizens released from jails and prisons have all likely made illegal immigrants feel safer, reducing emigration of those already here and encouraging new illegal immigration," the authors write.

According to the Census Bureau, the U.S. population will reach an all-time high of 14.9 percent foreign-born by 2028. The authors of the study believe that projection is conservative and fails to take into account the spike during the Biden administration—the paper projects the foreign-born share of the U.S. population will hit 14.9 percent by next September. By the conclusion of Biden’s first term, the authors write, the total number of immigrants in the United States will reach 51.3 million.

"It seems clear that something has fundamentally changed and the illegal immigration population has grown dramatically after being relatively stable for a number of years," the authors write.

Biden has presided over the worst border crisis in recorded American history. Border officials encountered 234,000 migrants on the southern border in April alone, the most ever on record.

Of those 234,000 migrants, nearly 118,000 were released into the U.S. interior. Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said last month that he expects future migrant encounters to be even higher should the administration be successful in ending Title 42, a public health measure that allows for the rapid deportation of anyone seeking entry into the United States.

More than 1.3 million migrants have been encountered on the southern border in the 2022 fiscal year so far, and a vast majority of them did not face immediate deportation. The 2021 fiscal year saw 1.7 million migrant encounters, the highest in more than 60 years. 

The immigration crisis is one of Biden's largest electoral liabilities. Polling consistently shows a majority of voters disapprove of his handling of the border, including a Harvard-Harris survey released last month that found immigration was the third most concerning issue to voters.

Soros-Linked Group Wins $172M Contract from Biden to Help Border Crossers Avoid Deportation

A left-wing group linked to billionaire George Soros has won a nearly $172 million federal contract from President Joe Biden’s administration to help young border crossers avoid deportation, a report revealed this week.

Fox News’s Adam Shaw and Joe Schoffstall reported on Thursday that the Vera Institute of Justice, with financial ties to Soros, has won a federal contract for $171.7 million that will provide attorneys to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) to avoid deportation from the United States.

The federal contract could end up showering the Vera Institute of Justice with $1 billion in taxpayer funding, Fox News reported:

The arrangement lasts until March 2023 but can reach as high as $983 million if renewed until March 2027, the agreement shows. This appears to be the largest federal contract Vera has secured for immigration-related services for any single year dating back to the mid-2000s. [Emphasis added]

The Vera Insitute, meanwhile, is propelled by taxpayer-backed government grants and contracts like the one it secured in March. Between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, $152 million of the group’s $191 million in revenue came from government sources, its most recent financial audit shows. [Emphasis added]

The institute seeks to end “mass incarceration” by cutting down on the number of jails, prisons and detention centers in the United States. The group has also signaled support for defunding police. [Emphasis added]

As Breitbart News reported in 2018, the Vera Institute of Justice was previously awarded $310 million by the Obama administration to help UACs avoid deportation.

The group also takes taxpayer money via sanctuary jurisdictions.

In 2019, for instance, the Vera Institute of Justice worked with the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to create a program dedicated to helping illegal aliens avoid deportation specifically by providing them with free legal services.

In a span of six months, the Texas-Coahuila border region has recorded the same number of migrant deaths this year as in all of 2021. The high number of deaths occurred as the region became the busiest human smuggling corridor as the U.S. and Mexico appear to be unable to curb the worsening border crisis.

Since the start of 2022, the border region between the Mexican state of Coahuila and West Texas has recorded a record-setting total of 166 migrant deaths. The deaths were recorded on both sides of the border and included drownings, deaths from heat exposure inside cargo trains, and people dying while trekking through rough terrain.

This year’s figure matched the 166 migrant deaths that were recorded in all of 2021. One of the most recent drownings took place in Piedras Negras where authorities recovered the body of an unidentified man in black clothing. Currently, the Mexican border cities of Piedras Negras and Ciudad Acuna are seeing large numbers of migrants arriving in their cities each day with the intent to cross into West Texas.

Mexico’s government has been issuing travel visas to most migrants, including members of caravans, that enter through the southern border, those visas give the migrant a specified time to travel freely through Mexico, Breitbart Texas reported. Most used those documents to reach the U.S. border.

As Breitbart Texas also reported, U.S. Border Patrol is seeing record migrant apprehensions, with over 10,000 apprehensions in Eagle Pass in a six-day span earlier this month.

WHAT WAS THE OBOMB DOING WHEN SEC. OF STATE BRIBES SUCKER HILLARY AND PARASITE JOE BIDEN WAS RAKING IN THE BRIBES?

https://globalistbarackobama.blogspot.com/2022/07/sociopath-gamer-lawyer-barack-obama-i.html

 

“Then we suffered the rattling election of Barack Obama, whose active membership in a white-, Jewish-, and America-hating church was well known to the electorate.  His close personal relationship with the likes of his adored Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan was no secret.  Obama was open about his goals.  He told us he was out to "fundamentally transform America" and the world.”  ALAN BERGSTEIN

“Obama’s new home in Washington has been described as the “nerve center” of the anti-Trump opposition. Former attorney general Eric Holder (CONSIDERED BY JUDICIAL WATCH AS ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT A.G.s IN AMERICAN HISTORY) has said that Obama is “ready to roll” and has aligned himself with the “resistance.” Former high-level Obama campaign staffers now work with a variety of groups organizing direct action against Trump’s initiatives. “Resistance School,” for example, features lectures by former campaign executive Sara El-Amine, author of the Obama Organizing.”

“Obama would declare himself president for life with Soros really running the show, as he did for the entire Obama presidency.”

What no one will say, but I will, is that the ObamaGate /MuellerGate /SpyGate scandal is an ongoing plot to restore Barack Obama to the Presidency. Before heads explode let me explain.

  

"That phase of the takeover was started in 2008 by President Barack Obama.  Throughout his eight years in office, Obama practiced divisiveness and hammered away at the Second Amendment while pouring gallons of fuel on the fire of the "Black Lives Matter" lie.  His administration was rampant with corruption, pushing the envelope with every new scandal." RICK HAYES

 "Along with Obama, Pelosi and Schumer are responsible for

incalculable damage done to this country over the eight years of that

administration (JOE BIDEN WAS OFF SUCKING OFF

BANKSTERS AND BRIBES)."     PATRICIA McCARTHY

 But soon enough, the reality of Barack Obama’s unpopularity, the reality of the criminal abuse by his administration in trying to frame and otherwise take down President Trump, and the reality of a booming economy helping all Americans, would take the air out of her balloon.  “Bring Back Barack” is not a winning campaign theme.  And if a tweet or two happened to get under her skin, the result could be ugly. 

The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.

“Of course, one of the main reasons the nation is now “divided, resentful and angry” is because race-baiting, Islamist, class warrior Barack Hussein Obama was president for eight long years.   MATTHEW VADUM


WHO RUNS THE NATION? THE GLOBALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THEIR BANKSTERS AND BILLIONAIRES FOR OPEN BORDERS…. or George Soros, their paymaster?

Obama lets the cat out of the bag: He's got plans to make Joe Biden his stooge
