Apple CEO Tim Cook, the architect of the multinational corporation’s China outsourcing scheme, was one of the biggest proponents of the amnesty for 4.4 million illegal aliens while Big Agriculture donors lobbied lawmakers to pass the farmworker amnesty.

Biden defended the wealthy in his speech to the donors but begged them to be aware of wealth inequality
“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption.

There is nothing unexpected about the emerging right-wing, pro-war, pro-Wall Street composition of the incoming Biden administration. Biden himself spent decades in Washington as a corrupt bag-man for wealthy interests in the state of Delaware, the legal headquarters of hundreds of thousands of corporations that take advantage of its business-friendly laws.
Big Government Biden
By Terence P. Jeffrey | August 17, 2022 | 6:25am EDT
In the first 18 full months that Joe Biden has been president — February 2021 through July 2022 — the federal government has spent $9,728,646,000,000, according to data published in the Monthly Treasury Statement.
Even when the historical spending numbers are adjusted for inflation into July 2022 dollars (using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator), no recent president comes close to having spent that kind of money in their first year and a half in office.
President Donald Trump spent $7,274,266,740,000 in July 2022 dollars in his first 18 full months. President Barack Obama spent $7,166,360,490,000. President George W. Bush spent $4,835,392,120,000. President Bill Clinton spent $4,287,553,940,000. President George H.W. Bush spent $3,705,774,660,000. President Ronald Reagan spent $3,123,980,640,000.
It is true that the United States is a more populous country now than it was in July 1982, when Reagan completed his first 18 full months in office, but federal spending has grown significantly faster than the population.
The $3,123,980,640,000 in July 2022 dollars that the federal government spent during Reagan's first year and a half equaled approximately $13,485 for each of the 231,664,000 people who, according to the Census Bureau, were living in the United States in July 1982.
The $9,728,646,000,000 that the federal government spent during Biden's first year and a half in office equaled approximately $29,229 for each of the 332,838,183 people who were living here this July.
In Trump's first 18 months, per capita spending was approximately $22,234 in July 2022 dollars. In Obama's first 18 months, it was approximately $23,168. Under George W. Bush, it was approximately $16,811. Under Clinton, it was approximately $16,470. Under George H.W. Bush, it was approximately $14,855. Under Reagan, it was approximately $13,485.
Biden is the spending champion of American presidents — both in total overall spending and per capita spending.
But that is not his only achievement. He has also been collecting record taxes.
In the first 10 months of this fiscal year (October 2021 through July 2022), which will be Biden's first full fiscal year in office, the Treasury collected a record $4,104,725,000,000 in total taxes.
Since February 2021, Biden's first full month in office, the Treasury has collected $6,962,684,000,000 in total taxes. That is more than it collected in the first 18 months under Trump, Obama, George W. Bush, Clinton, George H.W. Bush or Reagan.
The total tax collections during Biden's first 18 months are also the most per capita when compared with those other presidents.
In Reagan's first 18 months, the Treasury collected $2,821,848,240,000 in total taxes in July 2022 dollars. That equaled approximately $12,181 for each of the 231,664,000 people living in the United States in July 1982.
The $6,962,684,000,000 in total taxes that the Treasury collected in the first 18 full months of Biden's presidency works out to approximately $20,919 for each of the 332,838,183 people in this country in July.
In Biden's first 18 months, the Treasury collected $8,738 more in per capita taxes than it did in Reagan's first 18 months.
Yet despite the record taxes the Biden administration is collecting, the administration is still running a deficit.
According to the data published in the Monthly Treasury Statement, the federal government ran a cumulative deficit of $2,765,962,000,000 from February 2021 through July 2022.
The only president who ran a bigger deficit in his first 18 months was Obama, whose cumulative deficit hit $2,975,995,260,000 in constant July 2022 dollars in the period from February 2009 through July 2010.
The $2,765,962,000,000 deficit that Biden has run in his first year and a half in office equals approximately $8,310 for each of the 332,838,183 people in this country.
This week, Biden signed a 730-page bill that Democrats in Congress called the Inflation Reduction Act. Not one Republican voted for it.
In his speech at the bill signing ceremony, Biden placed a heavy emphasis on climate change.
"I am about to sign the Inflation Reduction Act into law, one of the most significant laws in our history," said Biden.
"The American people won and the special interests lost," he said.
"The Inflation Reduction Act invests $369 billion to take the most aggressive action ever, ever, ever, ever in confronting the climate crisis and strengthening our energy security," said Biden.
"This new law also provides tax credits that's going to create tens of thousands of good-paying jobs and clean-energy manufacturing jobs," he said. "Solar factories in the Midwest and the South, wind farms across the plains and off our shores, clean hydrogen projects and more. All across America. Every part of America.
"This bill is the biggest step forward on climate ever, ever," he said, "and it's going to allow — it's going to allow us to boldly take additional steps toward meeting all of my climate goals — the ones we set out when we ran."
Indeed, the Senate-passed text of this so-called Inflation Reduction Act includes the terms "greenhouse gas" and "greenhouse gases" a combined 138 times.
If there is anything emitting gas these days, it is the man in the Oval Office.

Rep. Nancy Mace: Biden Lying About Impact Inflation Reduction Act Will Have on Inflation
(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) accused President Joe Biden and his administration of lying Wednesday about the impact that the Inflation Reduction Act will have on inflation as well as that there was zero inflation in July.
“Well, it's all a lie, honestly. Biden pinky promises that he will reduce inflation with the Inflation Reduction act but the truth is inflation will be affected by 0.25 percent, a quarter of a point in 7 or 8 years so it is not going to have an immediate impact. This is all about November and trying to get momentum, and when Biden says that there's zero inflation, the truth is that was a lie too. July was 8.5 percent,” she told Fox Business’s “Mornings with Maria Bartiromo.”
“I went to the grocery store yesterday with my kids, and eggs were up almost 50%, we spent $250 to $300 on groceries more than we spent in I can’t tell you when for the week, and every family is facing those same challenges when they go to the store. They are making tough decisions on what they buy and don't buy, but we are seeing the price increases exponentially at the gas station and grocery stores,” the congresswoman said.
Mace said that if the Biden administration really wanted to stop inflation, it could cut taxes and spend money that it already has.
“The CBO, Congressional Budget Office, when they were detailing the cost of this bill, they even have the final numbers. We’re talking $485 billion. We are talking about taxes that will be raised on the American people when you have a subsidy, when you're taxing businesses large and small, somebody is going to pay that bill, and it's going to be working families and individuals in this country,” she said.
“Inflation will continue to go up, because deficit spending is a major contribution to inflation. It's why we’re here in the first place. So are higher taxes. There were 42 new taxes in the inflation bill just last year and not to mention the Federal Reserve is printing trillions of dollars every single year. All of these things are affecting inflation,” the congresswoman said.
“If we were going to really try to stop the buck and stop the tide and stem the tide of inflation, we would be cutting taxes. We wouldn't be doing deficit spending. We wouldn't be spending money we have, not money from China and elsewhere, but that's not what the Biden administration is doing and it will harm workers across the country exponentially now and in the future,” Mace added.
On the issue of the border, the congresswoman responded to news that the amount of fentanyl seized at the border last month was more than a 200 percent increase month over month.
“We had one hearing on the oversight committee last year. It was about the northern border rather than the southern border, and this summer the statistics are telling us that we’re going to have over 2 million illegal immigrants apprehended this summer, far surpasses where we were in total for last year,” Mace said.
“We just had a police officer was sickened by fentanyl, exposure to fentanyl on a drug bust just a couple of weeks ago in the state of South Carolina. I just had a friend bury his son via a fentanyl overdose. This is an epidemic and a tragedy that's affecting every family across the country whether they are on the border or not, and as you mentioned, the Biden administration is visiting 23 states to tout the Inflation Reduction Bill, and they are not even bothered,” she said.
“Biden can’t bother to go to the border today. I will be there in a few days checking it out again, but our president needs to lead our country out of this mess instead of leading it into it,” the congresswoman said.
Joe Biden Spends Record 150 Days at Home as President in Just 18 Months
President Joe Biden returned to his home in Delaware on Tuesday, marking his 49th trip to the state as president.
The president left for home again on Tuesday afternoon after signing his green energy spending bill.
Biden has now spent a record 150 days at home in Delaware in the 18 months since he was elected president, according to former CBS correspondent Mark Knoller, easily beating recent presidential records.
That number does not count Biden’s other vacation in Nantucket Island, Massachusetts for Thanksgiving and his summer vacation at Kiawah Island, North Carolina last week.
Former President Donald Trump spent 132 days away from the White House at his own properties, either at Mar-a-Lago in the winter or Bedminster, New Jersey in the summer.
Former President Barack Obama only spent 38 days of his presidency either at rental properties in Hawaii or Martha’s Vineyard.
Former President George W. Bush went home to his Texas ranch 100 days during his presidency.
Biden’s numbers are high as he prefers to spend his weekends at his home in Delaware, usually deploying considerable federal resources to return home for either long weekends or even just one day. The White House press pool also has to shuttle back and forth to Delaware with the president, despite his preference to remain mostly out of sight of the cameras while at home.
In August 2021, Biden took nine Marine One flights in just 18 days as he tried to maintain his vacation schedule in Delaware and the presidential retreat at Camp David.
The White House has repeatedly defended Biden’s frequent trips to Delaware, noting that his two properties in the state are his “home.”
“The president lives in Wilmington. It’s his home. That’s where he’s lived for many, many years,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in 2021.
In February, Biden boasted of his multiple trips home during a speech he delivered in Ohio.
“Every time I get a chance, I go home to Delaware,” he said during a speech in Ohio. “You think I’m joking? I’m not.”
