NAFTA JOE BIDE'S SWAMP - THE KLEPTOCRACY - PASS AROUND THE BRIBES - Biden Taps Manchin’s Wife for Key Admin Post After W.V. Democrat Saves Imperiled DOD Nominee

 

Is Joe Biden using illegal aliens to destroy America as founded?

Joe Biden has pledged $86M to put up migrants in hotels.  The captive National Guard was deployed to D.C. on the phony pretense that members of Congress were in danger of attacks by right-wing extremists, even though there was never a credible threat.  Those soldiers in service of their country were made to sleep on the ground of a parking garage and fed contaminated food.  Meanwhile, there are 552K homeless Americans.  Los Angeles has 66K+ homeless people living on the streets without any of the assistance the people flowing over our southern border are receiving at taxpayer expense.  If this does not strike all Americans as obscene, well, they are not thinking rationally.

The Biden administration and the far-left radicals within it have turned this country upside-down; Americans bad, migrants are all good.  We native-born or naturalized citizens must be punished for our privileges; illegal migrants are victims of America’s success.  Kamala Harris has long wanted to decriminalize illegal entry into the country.  She has compared ICE and the Border Police to the KKK!  That is how the left thinks, how the Biden administration operates.  And they think we are all going to sit still for this grisly policy. 

The Biden “team” apparently think we don’t know that it is the Mexican cartels who control the border and have leapt at Biden’s invitation to surge across it in order to re-establish their oh, so profitable enterprise of trafficking in people, especially women and children.  Trump had severely interdicted their use and abuse of the victims they traffic.  Biden ended Trump’s Operation Talon his first week in office.  Now the cartels control who comes, who crosses into the U.S., and where they go, and they are getting fabulously wealthy doing it.  The minor children arrive with phones or phone numbers in their pockets.  Most of those contact numbers are not family members in the U.S.; they are cartel contacts.  The journey north for these women, girls, and young boys is treacherous.  The smugglers brag about “rape trees.”  Women and girls are routinely gang-raped, their undergarments tossed into trees then so named.  This is what Biden’s call for all comers to “surge the border” has set in motion.  And, as he reiterated at the not-press conference on Thursday, he thinks he is the nice guy, the moral guy.  But he has created a massive humanitarian crisis that is characterized first and foremost by vicious cruelty.  This is what the left, the Biden administration has set in motion.

In the meantime, while ignoring the major crisis on the southern border, our DHS, FBI, DOJ, and military have been tasked with purging all federal agencies, especially the military and law enforcement, of any and all conservatives and censoring all conservative voices.  The Los Angeles Police Department will no longer hire Christians or conservatives; they are deemed “domestic terrorists.”  While Biden gives carte blanche to China, Iran, and Russia to do whatever they will to weaken America, this administration is concerned only with a Stalinist/Maoist form of criminalizing dissent within our borders.  The new president is intent upon moving the U.S. toward an oligarchical totalitarianism.

Joe Biden owes his and his family’s wealth to China and Ukraine.  That acquired wealth was due to the Biden family’s wholesale corruption that rivals the Clintons’ financial profiteering in scope.  Biden is bought and paid for and will always defer to China.  He will never cross the Chinese in our interests.  He just won’t.  He cannot.  He owes them; they own him.  And do not forget what China has on Hunter Biden, the pedophile drug addict who got rich via Ukraine and China as those two nations bought the leverage they now can use to their benefit.  You can be sure they will use that leverage. 

Biden’s disastrous plan to orchestrate a humanitarian crisis and invite migrants to surge the southern border will only further prevent the re-employment of all those who lost their jobs due to the unnecessary COVID lockdown.  The Trump administration had achieved nearly max employment, especially among minorities, which is why more of them voted to re-elect him in greater numbers than for any other Republican in U.S. history.  Now we have Biden, who, by opening the border to anyone and everyone, will insure that those minority workers that had jobs before COVID will have to compete for work with the tens of thousands of illegal migrants now flowing into the country.  They are largely untested for COVID, sent on to the cartel smugglers who got them over the border, drugs and all.  Predictably, along with the tens of thousands of migrants, fentanyl and meth are again flowing into the U.S.  Biden surely knows this but does not care.  The “unaccompanied minors” are often mules for the cartels, then trafficked for sex and gang business.

Thus far, Biden as president is dangerously close to being a Castro, Venezuela’s Chávez, and then Maduro.  The Democrat party as currently constituted is an enemy of America.  If that is not clear to the American people, they are simply as uninformed as the media intends them to be.  If they have submitted to the fear-mongering about COVID, they are already submissives to a false narrative.  COVID, and all its attendant restrictions on our daily lives, is, like the open border scam, part of our self-appointed ruling elites’ plan to implement their "Great Reset."  We had all better stand up and fight back, or this is the end.  We will all be rendered citizens of the world, no longer individual humans, but mere chattel to our overseers.

Biden bribes Manchin, bye-bye filibuster

Joe Biden has never been known for subtlety. Fox News reports:

President Biden has picked the wife of an extremely influential U.S. senator for a federal commission post, the White House announced Friday. 

Biden nominated Gayle Conelly Manchin to co-chair the Appalachian Regional Commission, an economic development partnership with 13 states designed to boost investment in the Appalachian Region.

Manchin is an educator, past president of West Virginia's State Board of Education and the former first lady of West Virginia.

She's been married for 53 years to Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a critical vote in the Senate for Biden if he wants to get any of his major legislative priorities passed.

Those legislative priorities — passing H.R. 1 to guarantee Republicans will never win another presidency or congressional majority by mandating nationwide cheating-enabling mail-in voting with no ID requirements and much more — depend on ending the filibuster.  Manchin's vote is required to do that.

If confirmed by the Senate (almost certain, given a party line vote — though it wouldn't surprise me to see Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and maybe other GOP solons duped by the notion of "comity" voting to confirm), Mrs. Manchin will have  major role in an agency with a $165-million budget whose "mission is to innovate, partner, and invest to build community capacity and strengthen economic growth in Appalachia."

The word "invest" is the key one here.  That means money.  Money handed out to people, either directly or through loan guarantees (think: Solyndra) or some other mechanism.

Just this month, for instance:

[T]he Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) announced five grant awards for the Advanced Welding Workforce Initiative (AWWI), a partnership to invest $1 million in education and training for advanced technical workers in Appalachia. 

The Manchin family is no stranger to making money off government favors, as Jayne O'Donnell reported in USA Today in 2016:

After Gayle Manchin took over the National Association of State Boards of Education in 2012, she spearheaded an unprecedented effort that encouraged states to require schools to purchase medical devices that fight life-threatening allergic reactions.

The association's move helped pave the way for Mylan Specialty, maker of EpiPens, to develop a near monopoly in school nurses' offices. Eleven states drafted laws requiring epinephrine auto-injectors. Nearly every other state recommended schools stock them after what the White House called the "EpiPen Law" in 2013 gave funding preference to those that did. 

The CEO of Mylan then, and now, was Heather Bresch. Gayle Manchin is Heather Bresch's mother.

Mylan is the subject of congressional investigations related to huge price hikes the company announced last month. It also faces an antitrust probe by the New York attorney general stemming from its EpiPen sales contracts with schools.

Update: Heather Bresch just resigned as CEO of Mylan.

Don't hold your breath for the mainstream media to call out this barely disguised bribery scheme.  They are on board with the "legislative agenda" that will transform America into a very different country.  The door is about to open for the "fundamental transformation" Barack Obama promised.

Biden Taps Manchin’s Wife for Key Admin Post After W.V. Democrat Saves Imperiled DOD Nominee

President Joe Biden tapped Democratic senator Joe Manchin's wife for a "key" administration post on Friday, two days after the West Virginia senator agreed to cast a last-minute swing vote in favor of Biden's beleaguered Pentagon policy nominee, Colin Kahl.

Manchin's wife Gayle was nominated as federal co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission on Friday, according to a statement from the White House. The $175 million "economic development partnership agency" focuses on "invest[ing] in Appalachia's economic future by providing grants, publishing research, and sponsoring learning experiences," according to its website.

The news comes two days after Manchin cast the Senate Armed Services Committee's deciding vote to advance Kahl's nomination for undersecretary of defense for policy to the Senate floor, and raises questions about whether there was any connection between his vote and his wife's nomination.

Neither Manchin nor the White House responded to requests for comment.

Pro-Israel groups and West Virginia legislators had urged Manchin to oppose Kahl, citing his extensive involvement in the Iran nuclear deal, his opposition to Iran sanctions, and his criticism of pro-Israel policies. The White House and Democratic operatives also lobbied Manchin heavily to support Kahl.

Manchin was the committee's lone Democratic holdout on Kahl until the final hours, telling a CNN reporter the night before the vote that he still hadn't made up his mind.

"We're still working on it. I'm still working on it," Manchin told the reporter. "I'm trying to get there."

The committee’s final vote was 13-13, split along party lines, the bare minimum Kahl needed to advance to the Senate floor.

Republicans on the committee uniformly opposed Kahl, citing his policy positions and his history of inflammatory, partisan comments on Twitter, including calling the GOP "the party of ethnic cleansing" and bad-mouthing specific lawmakers. Manchin had previously opposed Neera Tanden as Biden's nominee for Office of Management and Budget director—effectively killing her nomination—due to his concerns about her "partisan" Twitter posts and ability to work with both parties in Congress.

The controversy surrounding Kahl means that he could still face a tricky path to confirmation. Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.), who authored the Iran sanctions legislation that Kahl once called "a diplomatic trainwreck," said he was undecided on the nominee as of Thursday. Kahl would need full Democratic support, or at least one Republican crossover, to get through the 50-50 Senate.

The Senate has yet to schedule a final floor vote on Kahl, which is expected to take place after lawmakers return from recess in mid-April.
