America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

CORRUPT LAWYER AMY KLOBUCHAR - WE CAN GET JOE'S ILLEGALS INTO OUR VOTING BOOTHS AND JOBS AND STILL HAND WALL STREET A BAILOUT WHEN IT ALL COLLAPSES
On CNN's State of the Union Sunday, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) spoke about this week's field hearing in Georgia on voting rights and the obstacle the filibuster poses to Democrats' attempts to seize control of elections.
"What I think we should do, myself — having been here the last decade and seeing exactly what's going on — we need to abolish the filibuster," Klobuchar said, repeating a call made by many radical leftist Democrats.
Those calls have only increased after the so-called For the People Act failed to secure enough votes to overcome a Republican filibuster earlier this summer, setting up yet another act in the Democrats' great tragedy of allegations that election integrity measures are the worst thing to happen to America since the Civil War.
"If you want to move on immigration reform, if you want to move on climate change as fires are going in the west and we've seen record heat, 120 degrees up in Canada, I think we know what we need to do," she continued.
"I'm here in Georgia to tell people we're not giving up just because of some archaic rule in the Senate that basically was set up for not good purposes," Klobuchar said, adding the filibuster "is once again blocking legislation that would help the people of this country."
Her call to abolish the filibuster is portrayed as a clear-eyed conviction for which she's long advocated during her time in the U.S. Senate — but that's not the case.
In April of 2017, Klobuchar signed a letter — along with sixty-one other U.S. Senators — calling on Leaders McConnell and Schumer to preserve the filibuster she now condemns.
"We are writing to urge you to support our efforts to preserve existing rules, practices, and traditions as they pertain to the right of Members to engage in extended debate on legislation before the United States Senate," reads the letter spearheaded by Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Christopher Coons (D-DE) that Klobuchar signed. "We are united in our determination to preserve the ability of Members to engage in extended debate when bills are on the Senate floor," it continues.
We are mindful of the unique role the Senate plays in the legislative process, and we are steadfastly committed to ensuring that this great American institution continues to serve as the world's greatest deliberative body. Therefore we are asking you to join us in opposing any effort to curtail the existing rights and prerogatives of Senators to engage in full, robust, and extended debate as we consider legislation before the body in the future.
Yet within five years, Klobuchar would go from urging the preservation of these rules and procedures to calling them "archaic" and "set up for not good purposes" as part of an attempt to abolish the filibuster. By her own words, Klobuchar's push to end the filibuster will dethrone the Senate as the world's greatest deliberative body, all so she and her radical colleagues can push through their unpopular agenda that can't secure enough support to advance through established processes.
Yellen Sees ‘Several More Months of Rapid Inflation’ — Worries About Housing Impact
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” that the U.S. economy will have “several more months of rapid inflation.”
Yellen said, “We will have several more months of rapid inflation. So I’m not saying that this is a one-month phenomenon. But I think over the medium term, we’ll see inflation decline back toward normal levels. But, of course, we have to keep a careful eye on it. Measures of inflation expectations, I think, still look quite well contained over the medium term. Those expectations are actually a driver of price-setting behavior. So it is important that we monitor it carefully, but I believe fundamentally, you know, that this is something that will settle down.”
She continued, “We have seen a big increase in housing prices. In part due in part to changes in the pandemic and the low-interest-rate environment we have. The lending that’s taking place is to creditworthy borrowers. I don’t think that we’re seeing the same kinds of danger in this that we saw in the run-up to the financial crisis in 2008. It’s a very different phenomenon. I do worry about affordability and the pressures that higher housing prices will create for families that are first-time homebuyers or have less income. And a portion of the plans that will be under consideration by Congress will be intended to boost affordable housing, the supply of affordable housing.”
Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that so-called “voting rights” could be included in the Democrats’ more expansive infrastructure package they were planning to pass with a simple majority vote using the reconciliation process.
Klobuchar said, “We’ve seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, Dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in Georgia, that not only denies voters water when they’re standing in line but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. And guess what? You have to register 29 days before.”
She continued, “This is clearly a focus by the Republicans in Georgia on limiting people from voting. So we’re doing this hearing, yes, to build pressure, to pass basic federal voting rights. That is the For the People Act and the John Lewis Bill. You name it. If we were just to concede and say, okay, we have one vote, the Republicans blocked it, so we’re taking our marbles and going home. That’s not fair to the people of Georgia. That’s sure not fair to the people of Texas. we’re not giving up.”
Klobuchar added, “There are many ways to proceed here, including the upcoming infrastructure packages that were just discussed with Senator Portman. I’m happy to answer. I think we need a deadline that Senator Schumer set. We need to get going. Election infrastructure could be in the Democratic package. And that’s part of the solution. The House is starting their hearings this fall on the John Lewis Act. We are moving on that bill.”
Anchor Dana Bash said, “Senator, I want to follow up on something you just said. One way to pass the legislation you’re talking about, voting rights legislation, with only 51 votes, is through a process known as reconciliation. And Whip Jim Clyburn has been floating the idea to pass voting rights that way. Are you saying you think Senate rules would allow you to pass at least some of the voting rights proposals and provisions through reconciliation?”
Klobuchar said, “That process, to be clear, is no substitute for the For the People Act. It isn’t. The For the People Act is grounded in the Constitution that says Congress can set and alter federal rules for electrics.”
Bash said, “But if you can’t get that done?”
Klobuchar said, “If you can’t, what you can do with infrastructure, not in the bipartisan package, and I’m glad they’re continuing to negotiate and make progress. What you can do is put election infrastructure in there. You could tie it to certain things as incentives for states to do same-day registration, to do the mail-in balloting. It is no substitute for putting the basic federal rights in place. What I’m saying is that you have to do all of these things at once.”
IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE UNDER BIDENOMICS FOR THE RICH, BECOME AN ILLEGAL!
I PERSONALLY CAN'T SPEAK A WORD OF ENGLISH AND KNOW I HAVE AN ACHOR BABY COMING ON!
Border crossers arriving at the United States-Mexico border are being put up in high-rise hotels in southern California to quarantine before being released into the interior of the U.S., the New York Times reports.
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) told Breitbart News Saturday that Democrats, whom she said are moving toward socialism, are attempting to jam through radical agenda items designed to make people “comfortable” living in poverty instead of lifting them up, and she blasted the failure of what she dubbed “Bidenomics” as Democrats seek to solve the issues, such as inflation, by raising taxes and spending even more.
Speaking to Breitbart News Saturday, Ernst dismissed Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) latest maneuver, scheduling a vote on an infrastructure plan despite lawmakers not having even seen the text of a bill.
“We have not seen a bill. I have not seen the text of a bill, and yet Chuck Schumer says we’re going to vote on it next week. I don’t know how we do that when we don’t know what’s in the package,” she said, expressing hope that the bipartisan group of lawmakers will tell Schumer to slow down and get text out to members so they can review it.
Americans, she said, want infrastructure, but they do not want the “extraneous” things Democrats are attempting to shove through, such as Green New Deal agenda items, in a second bill via the reconciliation process.
“This is extremely disturbing. What they are planning to do, even if the bipartisan infrastructure bill gets done, what they are planning to do is what they are now calling human infrastructure. Really what that means? A bunch of socialized programs that will expand … [what they call] the war on poverty, basically,” Ernst said, noting the “billions and billions” that have been spent on the war on poverty through the years.
“But simply making people comfortable in poverty doesn’t defeat poverty, but that’s what they’re planning to do — is continue to expand these existing social welfare programs, get people comfortable living with less, reliant upon government, and then, it’s really hard to undo those social welfare programs,” she explained, adding the public would be outraged over spending as much as $3.5 trillion years ago.
And the spending goes beyond social welfare programs, too, she continued.
“This is an expansion of not only those social welfare programs, but also, as you pointed out, things like the Green New Deal, entirely focusing on electric vehicles rather than continuing to work with the vehicles we have now, expanding that infrastructure, paying for, you know, the grid and updating so we can support those electric vehicles,” she said, adding that such is not realistic for the Hawkeye State.
It is an “interesting dynamic,” given that Democrats are going to attempt to “jam through” the massive spending bill through reconciliation “with absolutely no Republicans supporting it,” she observed.
“And it’s not to save the taxpayers dollars. It’s to force them to pay more,” she added, also blasting Democrats for attempting to jam amnesty through in the reconciliation bill, even though it has nothing to do with the budget.
She said Americans can expect to see Democrats engaging in what she described as a “bunch of policy gymnastics” to get their radical agenda items through.
“They can’t do this. Now, reconciliation is a process that is focused on the budget. So what you will see coming from the left is they will do a bunch of policy gymnastics to try and get it fit in a reconciliation package. No. It should not. These are policy issues that we need to have debates on, we need to have discussions on. It needs to be done in open and transparent manners,” Ernst continued. “They can’t just flip it into a bill, ram it through reconciliation when it is policy.”
Biden, the Iowa Republican added, created a humanitarian crisis on the southern border as the United States sees “thousands and thousands” crossing the border.
“And yet, in contrast, we have interpreters in Afghanistan that have assisted our troops for the past two decades, that the Biden administration cannot seem to get its State Department in order to get those interpreters and their families out. You know, if anyone is deserving of an opportunity here in the United States, it’s those that have assisted us through wartime. And yet, Joe Biden can’t see the irony in the situation,” she added.
As for her state, Ernst said people are fed up with the Biden administration’s policies, and she expressed hope for 2022, agreeing that the road to the GOP taking back the House and Senate goes through Iowa.
“We are seeing it in every corner of our state and everywhere in between and no wonder — because we look at this administration and what the Democrats are doing, and since Joe Biden has been in office, he’s created this huge humanitarian and national security crisis at the southern border,” she said, also mentioning inflation and spikes in crime.
Instead of addressing inflation, the Democrats are “trying to outbid one another over a massive government spending program which we truly believe is a step toward socialism,” she stated.
“Iowans are fed up,” she said, adding that Democrats simply want to continue to raise taxes and “literally put the government in charge of everything.”
“We can’t afford to continue down this path,” according to Ernst, later noting the “phenomenal” level of excitement in the state for the GOP. She noted that Republicans have a “prime opportunity” to seize the seat in the state’s 3rd District, currently held by Rep. Cindy Axne (D-IA).
Iowa, Ernst added, “continues to trend red as the Democrats continue to move toward socialism.”
