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

WALL STREET'S TWO PARTY FACTIONS, DEMS AND GOP PARTNER AGAIN FOR BIDENOMICS TO SERVE THE RICH, BANKSTERS AND BILLIONAIRES WHO PAY NO TAXES
JEFF BEZOS IS THE BIGGEST TAX EVADER IN THE WORLD. HE EITHER PAYS NO TAXES SOME YEARS, OR NOT MORE THAN 3% OTHERS.
DON'T EXPECT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY TO PURSUE TAXING THE RICH. DEMS ARE PART OF THE RICH IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOP. THE POLS OF BOTH PARTIES SUCK OFF BRIBES FROM THE SAME PAYMASTERS!
What if We Actually Taxed the Rich? | Robert Reich
Yesterday, thirteen House Republicans bailed out Joe Biden's and Nancy Pelosi’s agenda by voting passing their $1.2 trillion ‘infrastructure’ bill.
This list of defectors includes Reps. John Katko (R-NY), Don Bacon (R-NE), Jefferson Van Drew (D-NJ), Fred Upton (R-MI), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Don Young (R-AK), Tom Reed (R-NY), Chris Smith (R-NJ), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) who voted 'yes' on the bill.
The bill advances the following items promoted by woke and far-left:
“Gender identity” as a protected class
“Digital equity” grants partly based on racial or ethnic minority status
Roughly $2.5 billion to expand U.S. border-processing stations for migrants from impoverished Central American nations and other regions around the world claiming asylum.
It seems likely after the elections in Virginia and New Jersey that the Democrats are going to suffer a series of defeats during the mid-term elections in 2022. Hence they are going to use this period to push their agenda as far as they can.
The Democrats know they can count certain Republicans to enable them to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Before we pass judgment on these 13 Republicans, let’s go back to 2016, when Donald Trump won the presidency.
It was a rude awakening for Democrats and a time to introspect and take remedial action to win back voters.
But instead, the Democrats behaved like the jilted lover who cannot accept rejection. They refused to concede that the public had voted against them. The voters were blamed for being ignorant and bigoted.
In time, they launched their most audacious disinformation campaign of Russia-Trump Collusion.
There was not an iota of evidence, but it was endorsed by Democrats on the Hill, rogue intelligence personnel and liberals beyond Washington. It passed through the cacophonous echo chambers of the legacy media.
Such was the impact of the campaign that Republicans on the Hill, members of Trump’s cabinet, and even pro-Trump voices in the media were shamed into conceding that there was Russian interference i.e. the election was rigged.
It caused the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate. The ‘investigation’ cost the tax payers $32 million and more than two years of uncertainty.
What is amazing is that this occurred when the Republicans controlled the House, the Senate and the White House.
Trump was obviously exonerated, but Democrats insisted they were right, they blamed then Attorney General Bill Barr for concealing the report and the White House for destroying the evidence.
Even now, they will continue with their lie despite the Durham probe now exposing their falsehood.
It has been almost a year since Biden occupied the White House and his record has been a disaster.
Inflation is out of control; gasoline prices have risen; the supply chain crisis means that essential items may not reach shopping centers; the IRS wants to monitor bank transactions; and the border is open leading to a historic surge of illegal aliens. They are considering $450,000 payments to illegal migrants separated from their families at the border. Vaccine mandates are hampering essential services and causing unemployment. Afghanistan was a total disaster of chaos, defeat and instability, while China is emboldened.
This merits the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate the conflict of interest and to know if Biden is compromised or is susceptible to blackmail
How do the Republicans react?
A majority remain silent. The Senate and House minority leaders are missing.
Some Republicans appear on Fox News to condemn the Democrats, others have ‘testy’ exchanges with Biden officials during Senate and Congressional hearings.
But beyond the theatrics, nothing is done to block or remedy the missteps of the Biden administration.
If challenged, these Republicans in name only helplessly say that the Democrats control Congress, the Senate, and the White House. They urge you to vote for them in 2022 for change to occur.
However, in 2016, the Democrats were in an identical position that the Republicans are today but managed to wreak havoc.
It's the result of Republican inaction that the Democrats are behaving like monarchs who do as they please.
We focus on the Democrat-led Washington establishment which is the root cause of this problem.
Members of the establishment include government officials, leadership in the armed forces and intelligence services, members of the legacy media, showbiz, foundations, most billionaires, and academia.
The establishment subscribes to 'groupthink' and anybody such as President Trump who challenges this status quo is treated with extreme ferocity.
The establishment funds the political campaigns of its members. If any member were to lose elections, the establishment ensures that the members get lucrative jobs as lobbyists or media pundits.
The establishment helps family members secure positions in prestigious places of employment. The establishment specializes in legalized corruption to ensure that its members live well.
The establishment has ceaseless contempt for the working class, middle America, conservatives, and above all MAGA supporters.
Owing to the myriad benefits of the establishment, everybody in Washington, including Republicans, are desperate to be accepted.
Most Republicans are also fearful of vicious attacks from the establishment-run legacy media and hence they endorse climate change, identity politics, BLM and more.
It is not beyond the realm of possibility that the Republicans may have devised a strategy to placate both the establishment and their voter base.
They put on a performance on Fox News or during hearings. The voter watching these videos of their representative or senator excoriating the behemoths of establishment, conflating words with action. The deception is hence complete.
The trick is to offer the voter an illusion that they are different. But irrespective of who controls the House, the Senate and the White House, it is the establishment who run the show.
Perhaps these Republicans have a tacit understanding with the establishment. They will put on a show for their voters but when it is time to vote, i.e., when real change has to occur, they side with the establishment, for which they will be handsomely rewarded later.
An ineffective ally is worse than an enemy. The enemy is doing what is expected by attacking you. But the real betrayal is when the ally becomes either a passive bystander or a covert supporter of the attacker.
The rapidly changing news cycle often causes us the forget the past and focus on the current. This is exactly what the 13 Republican defectors are hoping for.
It is time for voters to wake up.
It is time to thoroughly evaluate candidates by their actions and not by empty words.
It is essential to primary out all the pretenders and defectors. Replace them with brave, confident and ideologically committed candidates in their place.
Merely electing Republicans is not enough, if their loyalty lies with the establishment.
The likes of President Trump, Glenn Youngkin, Ron DeSantis, Rand Paul, Devin Nunes and a few others have shown how they can be effective, fearless and independent.
Thirteen House Republicans voted to bail out President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) agenda and pass the $1.2 trillion so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill.
The House voted to concur on the Senate amendment to H.R. 3684, or the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill, formerly known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
The bill passed 228-206, featuring overwhelming Democrat support and some Republican support.
Thirteen House Republicans voted to bail out Pelosi and Biden’s agenda, giving them the majority in the House necessary to pass the bill.
Reps. John Katko (R-NY), Don Bacon (R-NE), Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ), Fred Upton (R-MI), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Don Young (R-AK), Tom Reed (R-NY), Chris Smith (R-NJ), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), and Rep. David McKinley (R-WV) reportedly voted yes on the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill.
The House voted on the infrastructure bill after progressives struck an accord with moderates and Biden, in which both sides of the Democrat Party wanted assurance that they would vote for the other infrastructure bill.
Moderates pledged to vote for the Build Back Better Act once they receive a Congressional Budget Office (CBO score,”no later than the week of November 15:”
As part of the agreement, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), said in a statement that they will vote to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the rule for the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act.
Former President Donald Trump released a statement before the vote, saying that progressives are “being lied to and played” by moderate Democrats.
“So interesting to watch the so-called Democrat “Progressives” being lied to and played by the Democrat Moderates,” Trump said. “It used to be the other way around. Let’s see if the Progressives fold, and how long it will take them to do so?”
The so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill passed through the Senate with 19 Senate Republicans despite strong opposition from Senate conservatives.
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) said in August that Republicans are “complicit” by supporting the bipartisan bill, as it would lead to the passage of the Democrats’ Build Back Better Act.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), the chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), has consistently rallied Republicans against supporting the bipartisan bill.
Since August, Banks has noted that the bill would not actually fund infrastructure, while it adds to the debt and is rotten with leftist carveouts:
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that the bill would add $256 billion to the deficit, and the Penn-Wharton Budget Model said the bill would add no “significant” level of economic growth.
The bipartisan infrastructure would also advance leftist priorities by:
Provides roughly $2.5 billion to help the U.S. government expand the border processing stations used by migrants from poor Central American nations and other regions around the world.
Notably, the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill does not contain any sizable conservative victories.
The legislation calls for a study to review the potential impact of revoking the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, even though it does not restore the job-creating project. The bill also has billions of dollars for border crossers and zero dollars for a border wall.
The bill now goes to President Joe Biden’s desk to sign.

Stephen Miller: Democrats’ Bill Funds Migrant’s Child Smuggling
The Democrats’ $4 trillion spending bill uses Americans’ money to fund the cartels’ illegal migration, immigration expert Stephen Miller told Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in a November 5 conversation.
Miller said the bill — which may be voted through the House on Friday, November 5, allows:
People to get [child] tax credits if they’re here illegally. And that really is so radical. Think about that. You have people today in, say the Northern Triangle — Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala — weighing whether to come into the country illegally. They’re thinking about, “Well, I have to pay a smuggler $6,000 or $7,000: I don’t want to do it.” Now the calculation is “Oh, this is great. If I have four young children and I pay a smuggler $7,000, my first year here I can get $14,000 in tax credits from Uncle Sam! That will pay for the cost of the smuggling, plus we’ll have an extra $7,000 left over.
These should be called “Tax Credits for Smugglers.” This is in the bill. It’s just mind-boggling to me …. [it] defies reason and common sense.
The complex child support payment program that is in the Democrats’ spending plan — the Build Back Better (BBB) bill — seems tailored for illegal migrants, said Steven Camarota, the chief researcher at the Center for Immigration Studies.
For example, he said, the bill offers the child support payments to parents whose children do not have Social Security numbers, and to those who cannot legally show they worked during the year.
The plan likely will deliver $11 billion in payments to poor illegal migrant parents who arrived in 2021 or earlier, and about $5 billion per year afterwards, he said.
The initial payments are $3,600 per child in the first year. The payments will drop to about $2,000 per child, up to age six.
The giveaway also reopens the door to mass fraud by migrants who have already committed immigration crimes, Camarota said in a statement:
In addition to its direct costs, the elimination of a SSN requirement would seem to be an invitation to fraud, as tax filers now simply need to provide a name and date of birth for a child.
A 2011 report showed that illegal immigrants received more than $4 billion in payments from refundable tax credits.At that time no Social Security Number was required.Partly in response to a 2011 Inspector General for Tax Administration showing that illegal immigrants made extensive use of tax credits, Congress included provisions in both the 2015 PATH Act and the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act designed to curtail in part illegal immigrant receipt of such programs.This included the requirement that the qualifying child have a SSN.The BBB effectively undoes those changes permanently.
Fraud may be even worse under the BBB because unlike the old [welfare system], the new program also has no work requirements, which means recipients no longer needed to show any record of employment.
The payments “do defy any sort of reasoning when you look at … preserving this country, and our freedoms and our sovereignty,” Blackburn told Miller.
Labor migration is deeply unpopular because it damages ordinary Americans’ career opportunities, cuts their wages, and raises their rents. Migration also curbs Americans’ productivity, and widens regional wealth gaps. Migration also shrinks their Americans political clout, radicalizes their democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture., and give the establishment an emotional excuse from the difficult task of aiding poor, ill0educated and addicted Americans.
