Intuit Inc., Cisco Systems, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Alphabet Inc., Amazon, Apple, Deloitte, IBM, Meta, Intel Corp, and others as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, and Koch brothers’ network have all spent years lobbying for the green card giveaway.
Sheesh, maybe Mitt Romney, who spent the last year diligently working against Republican Mike Lee’s re-election in their shared state of Utah (sorry, Mittens is not a good, righteous man; he’s a conniving, backstabbing, pretentious, morally-preening puke!), can be promoted, too.
Needless to say, Mitt Romney marched with the corrupt and Marxist-led Black Lives Matter movement saying that “we have to stand up and say ‘black lives matter,’” not apparently grasping, first, that no one denies that Black lives matter (except the people that turn a blind eye to the constant massacre of black lives in Democrat-run cities and abortion mills), and that marching with the greedy Marxists in BLM does nothing to protect black lives. However, Mitt did accomplish his primary goal and got his pretty virtue-signaling face on camera again.
America's Great Political Unraveling
What’s worse—how much of a joke America’s “elections” are or the contempt with which election officials treat voters who have the nerve to demand answers on election night? Days of mail-in ballot counting have turned Republican Senate leads into Democrat Senate victories, while control of the House is still up for grabs; but the praetorian news pundits who defend the Deep State’s virtue as if they were protecting the disputed honor of a blushing bride still find it more appalling that voters could question the legitimacy of America’s elections than the reality that vote-counters have turned elections into long-term, unbelievable affairs.
It takes an awful long time to track down all those rascally elusive ballots temporarily lost in the mail. Perhaps any unused leftovers can just be scooped up and used again for the Democrats in two years—whatever might move this whole farce along more quickly in the future.
This debauched civic ritual has become so dirty that there’s not enough soap to wash off the stench. In states where voter identification rules are somewhat enforced and mail-in and absentee ballots are reserved for exceptional cases, Republicans won overwhelmingly. In states where anonymous, unsecured mail-in ballots are the new norm, Republicans got trounced.
In 2010, when Republicans absolutely “shellacked” Obama-Marxists in the midterms, conservatives won around two and a half million more votes and picked up a landslide sixty-three additional House seats. In 2022, Republicans have won six million more votes than the Democrats across the country yet will be lucky to grab an additional nine seats.
Amazingly, Republicans managed to win decisively, while still losing every toss-up election but one. You must be a card-carrying member of the Expert Class not to understand what’s going on here. In America, elections are dead. We have COVID-19-induced ballot hunts now, where paid political operatives are rewarded for finding and filling out as many as they can.
What do you bet that somebody, somewhere in the Democrat Mafia Machine won a big cash prize for most ballots rounded up? My guess is the winner worked heavily in Pennsylvania, where Senator-Elect Braindead can now join so many cognitively-challenged Capitol colleagues—and, of course, President Tweedledum and his cackling VP Tweedledee.
Is this where Turncoat Mitch McConnell says something false about “candidate quality” mattering most and why it’s imperative to nominate only China-colluding, globalist-shilling RINOs in the future? Sorry, when Igor’s Lump gets elected with ease in the Keystone State on a platform of closing coal mines and releasing criminals, only the Great Ballot Hunt matters now!
Here’s the really depressing news. Even if Republicans had won both the House and Senate outright and beyond the margin of newly-discovered, mail-in ballot manipulation, we would have all celebrated by…watching Turtle McConnell and Frank Luntz’s roommate, Kevin McCarthy, take over Congress? These are the same guys who actively conspired against President Trump’s MAGA agenda; deprived his congressional endorsements with needed midterm funds; openly fought against Alaska’s Republican senate nominee, Kelly Tshibaka, so that ultra-leftist, pro-abortion Lisa Murkowski can continue spoiling and despoiling that seat; and handed Democrats critical victories by remaining completely mum about mail-in ballot chicanery and election deceit.
Sheesh, maybe Mitt Romney, who spent the last year diligently working against Republican Mike Lee’s re-election in their shared state of Utah (sorry, Mittens is not a good, righteous man; he’s a conniving, backstabbing, pretentious, morally-preening puke!), can be promoted, too. Or how about Lindsey Graham, who has seemed hellbent on willfully sabotaging Republicans’ electoral chances by screeching obsessively about federal abortion bans, while scaring young, single, Democrat-voting women to the polls. Heck, it’s great news that Pelosi-loving liar Liz Cheney is gone, but it’s still shocking she was the third-ranking House Republican until last year!
Maybe all the pro-Democrat, uber-globalist, commie-curious, polyamorous politicos who identify as trans-Republicans should be rewarded for their mediocrity, sabotage, and loathing for the Republicans’ MAGA-voting base! Wow, voting Republican sure does feel an awful lot like ordering a nice, juicy steak and getting a squishy slab of eggplant on your plate!
Communist Karens control the Capitol, and sadly, too many of those Karens play Republican while playing Republican voters for fools. Democrats’ never-ending debauchery may demand that society resemble the inside of a brothel, but only the RINOs among us jump at the chance to play dress-up and act as the Dems’ cathouse of obedient political whores.
I can’t get Claire Wolfe’s voice out of my head when she drolly wrote in 101 Things To Do ‘Til The Revolution that “America is at that awkward stage” when “it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.” But she wrote that a quarter of a century ago, and most of us have already worked our way through her list!
When Tom Petty declared, “The waiting is the hardest part,” he wasn’t kidding. The Marxist takeover of the United States continues apace, and the freedom-loving, Constitution-supporting, American patriots—in desperate disbelief—are increasingly asking, “Is it time now? Can we start working to get our country back?”
And the only thing our big-boy Republicans have to say is, “Quiet down, you, or we’ll throw more of your friends in the J6 Gulag for life.” Some allies, our Republican leaders have turned out to be, eh? You look around on Veterans Day and see generations of warriors who put their lives on the line only to be demeaned as “terrorists” and “extremists” today.
Elections are supposed to provide ordinary citizens an opportunity to exert control over the direction of their government. In America, they feel like little more than an illusion of choice designed so that government may continue to exercise control over the citizens. The vast administrative State with its millions of employees making up and enforcing rules that directly affect citizens’ lives and property is the real government. The Intelligence Community and its not-so-secret domestic surveillance of Americans is the real government. The CIA’s Mockingbird Media peddling approved talking points and spreading false memes on the Leviathan’s behalf is the real government.
How do you give citizens the illusion of control while controlling them more completely? You create an unelected, yet imperious, permanent bureaucratic army to run the State, give it a network of spies and lawless prosecutors to control public dissent, and make sure the same handful of corporations that control all mass media news parrot exactly what the regime demands. Oh, and then you give the people a chance to vote for 535 members of Congress, a president, and vice president every few years and tell them, “This is what democracy looks like!”
This is not what “democracy” or any other form of representative government looks like. When the obscenely large permanent federal government never really changes hands, and only a few political offices get rearranged biennially, then the illusion of proactive change remains but a facade papered over the reality of the Leviathan’s permanency.
Who has more power in Washington—the politician busy glad-handing and raising money for the next election, or the discreet lifelong apparatchik who knows precisely when, where, and how to manipulate for maximum advantage the levers of the bloated, byzantine, bureaucratic system? As America’s billion-dollar campaign industry proves, anybody can buy a politician for the right price, but real government power operates in the shadows far from the election theater of the day.
How does a good American citizen work within that kind of naturally corrupt system?
A heartfelt hat tip to all veterans and their families!

BLM Activist Charged With Fraud over Allegedly Missing Donations on Statue Smasher Fundraising Page
A Black Lives Matter activist in Bristol, England has been charged with fraud in connection to allegedly missing money from a fundraising page established to provide legal fees for those who toppled the statue of Edward Colston.
Avon and Somerset Police announced this week that BLM activist Xahra Saleem, 22, has been charged with two counts of fraud over two fundraising pages and will appear before a magistrates court in Bristol in January, the Bristol Post reported.
The first charge relates to allegedly missing money from the ‘Bristol Protesters Legal Fees’ fund that was set up after the statue 17th century merchant and parliamentarian Edward Colston was toppled, defaced, and pushed into Bristol Harbour in June of 2020 following the death of George Floyd.
Colston became a subject of ire for local left-wing activists over his connections to the slave trade, a practice that was widely accepted during his lifetime and was later stamped out internationally by the British Empire, which became the first major power to abolish the practice and paid dearly in blood and treasure to shut down other powers’ slave routes.
The tearing down of the Colston statue in Bristol came amid nationwide unrest from Black Lives Matter activists in 2020, with other statues honouring Sir Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria, and the national war memorial, among others, also being targeted for vandalisation.
Despite not denying their role in the toppling of the Colston statue, four defendants were acquitted by a jury earlier this year after their lawyers argued that they were on the “right side of history“.
Saleem was also charged for fraud in relation to the ‘BristBLM’ GoFundMe page that was set up in June of 2020 after donation money allegedly went missing.
The crowdfunding pitch had reportedly promised to donate the proceeds to the local youth charity, Changing Your Mindset. However, the money allegedly never made its way to the charity, which had intended to send local teenagers on a trip to West Africa with the funds. Police initially made the arrest following allegations made by the charity.
This week a spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: “A woman is due in court at the start of next year after the Crown Prosecution Service authorised charges following a fraud investigation.
“Xahra Saleem, 22 and from East London, has been charged with two counts of fraud by abuse of position. She is due before Bristol Magistrates Court on Tuesday 3 January 2023.”

Republican Leadership Worse than Worthless
Republican Party Staves Off Red Wave, Babylon Bee Headline, Nov. 9, 2022
With people all across the country afraid to walk the streets because of high crime, inflation at a 40-year high due to D.C.’s profligate spending, 13 U.S. service members blown to bits in Afghanistan and a hundred more injured while Afghans fell to their deaths as they frantically held onto the landing gears of departing aircraft, unknown people from all over the world, including terrorists, pouring across the southern border and a record number dead in the last 12 months, serious warnings about the possibility of nuclear war as North Korea resumes its nuclear program and ballistic missile tests that were suspended under Trump, China threatening Taiwan and humiliating the United States on U.S. territory, a president, the self-described great uniter, who, when he is not yelling at people or whispering like a psychopath in a “slasher film,” tries to shake hands with people who are not there, a vice president, Kamala Harris, whose most profound statement concerns her paean to her school-day memories of yellow school buses, the Republican Party cannot even come close to winning the usual number of congressional seats in an off-year mid-term election. Naturally, Republican “leadership” who began gloating early, never saw this coming.
Part of the many reasons for this spectacular failure is the excessive amount of help Republican “leadership” gave to the Democrats. Republicans have brilliantly supported the Democrat push for early voting and mail-in ballots that even Jimmy Carter’s commission concluded is ripe for cheating, and which the Democrats have used since the pandemic to defeat Republicans. Apparently, this never occurred to Republican leaders who went along with it all.
In the aftermath of the Uvalde massacre, caused primarily by the failures of school officials and the local police, Mitch McConnell and ten other Republicans — John Cornyn (TX), Thom Tillis (NC), Roy Blunt (MS), Rob Portman (OH), Lindsey Graham (SC), Richard Burr (NC), Pat Toomey (PA), Susan Collins (ME), Mitt Romney (UT) and Bill Cassidy (LA) — all eager to virtue-signal and show how much they care, agreed to the Democrat framework for gun control, not understanding that the problem of gun violence in America is a moral problem rooted in the destruction of the family, the proliferation of drugs, thugs and a “gang culture” in which rebellion and violence are glorified; not a problem with the inanimate hardware per se.
Needless to say, Mitt Romney marched with the corrupt and Marxist-led Black Lives Matter movement saying that “we have to stand up and say ‘black lives matter,’” not apparently grasping, first, that no one denies that Black lives matter (except the people that turn a blind eye to the constant massacre of black lives in Democrat-run cities and abortion mills), and that marching with the greedy Marxists in BLM does nothing to protect black lives. However, Mitt did accomplish his primary goal and got his pretty virtue-signaling face on camera again.
In the run-up to the 2022 election, Mitch McConnell came out, and naturally not in private where it would be most appropriate, but rather in public to provide the Democrats a great talking point, and disparaged many of the Republican senate candidates as “bad candidates.” One of those ‘terrible’ candidates, J.D. Vance, just won handily in Ohio and another, Arizona’s Blake Masters, who yesterday, was closely behind his Democrat opponent — Masters sure could have used some of the money McConnell sent to Alaska to defeat a Trump-Republican. That race has since been called in favor of radical leftist, Mark Kelly. McConnell seems more interested in defeating Trump-affiliated firebrands than he is in defeating Democrats.
After winning a major victory when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Lindsey Graham, two months before the Nov. 2022 election, brilliantly announced his intent to introduce a bill, that had no chance whatsoever to become law at the time, to ban all abortions nationwide after 15 weeks, not in the least worried that this would energize the Democrat base. In fact, and despite the pollsters who still cannot get anything right, it turns out that this did energize young women to turn out in massive numbers and vote for Democrats. Unfortunately, Lindsey does not appear to grasp that one cannot get any of one’s programs enacted into law unless one gets elected first, this being, apparently, too deep for him. Lindsay did, of course, accomplish his major goal of getting his pretty face on camera emotionally stating how much he cares. Perhaps this brilliance will propel Lindsey to a presidential run in 2024!
Christie Roberts, the executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee admitted that “We [Democrats] had no business being in the hunt to hold the majority [in Congress] in this environment” but we “couldn’t have outperformed history without some help from the GOP,” specifically, without “the GOP’s recruitment stumbles… forcing Republicans to narrow their sights because of money woes.”
The feckless behavior by Republicans by no means began recently. In 2012 the Republicans picked Mitt Romney as their presidential candidate. Unfortunately, Mitt did not seem to know what his message was and did not seem particularly interested in winning.
Mitt’s disastrous campaign followed the 2008 election when the Republicans nominated John McCain to run against Barack the Great. Unfortunately, McCain did not seem particularly interested in winning either. His running mate, Sarah Palin, stated that “those elitist brainiacs in the GOP-machine running the campaign” forbid her from bringing up Obama’s radical associations with Rev. Wright (“God damn America!”), and former terrorist-turned-beloved University of Chicago lecturer, Bill Ayers: “Couldn’t talk about that. Couldn’t talk about Obama’s lack of knowledge and job inexperience and the things he said like America had 57 states, [etc.].” The star-struck McCain appeared to be content to lose gracefully, thereby showing that he is a good person. Newsweek asked at the time if McCain’s campaign was “the worst ever”.
In 2016 Trump defied all the geniuses on both sides of the aisle, and in the “news” media, by breaking with recent Republican tradition and actually trying to win, for which he has never been forgiven — in fact, winning the presidency by more than 300 electoral votes by taking Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and almost Minnesota! Naturally, this could not be tolerated, and the knives came out on both sides to either remove him from office or at the very least, hobble him via a series of silly hoaxes.
The current Republican leadership, as demonstrated in the recent election, cannot, employing a basketball analogy, even make a “lay-up.” This is partly because politics is the one area where one can “fail up” (be rewarded for failure). But one must wonder if these empty suits, being quite happy with their present position on the D.C. gravy train, even want to win.
They need to go, replaced by strong people determined to win, but not before getting down on their hands and knees and apologizing to the American people and Republican voters for their staggering incompetence and entrenched determination to fail.

Mitt Romney Thinks ‘Expanding the Number of Work Visas’ Will Fix Inflation
Republican Senator Mitt Romney wants to cut inflation by cutting Americans’ wages, including the wages earned by the GOP’s own voters.
Sen. Romney (R-UT) urged the cuts in a November 10 Wall Street Journal op-ed, where he echoed Goldman Sachs’ May demand for more migration to cut inflation by cutting wages:
Exit polls of voters confirmed that inflation remains a top voter concern. Midterm campaigns largely focused on assigning blame for rising prices. Now … Congress can actually help by increasing legal immigration [and] expanding the number of work visas in sectors that face worker shortages.
In May, Goldman Sachs argued that President Donald Trump’s 2020 migration cuts ensured that “the substantial gap between the number of workers and the number of jobs … has led to wage growth of 5 1/2% over the last year.”
“We have estimated that the [worker] gap would need to close by around 2 ½ million [extra migrants] to return wage growth to the 4-4½% range,” or roughly $100 billion lower, Goldman Sachs declared.
Romney worked alongside Goldman Sachs in the finance sector for many years before getting elected to Massachusetts governorship and losing the 2012 presidential election.
“He is completely out of out of touch, as out-of-touch as all of the elite Democrats in Hollywood,” responded Rosemary Jenks, the government relations director for NumbersUSA. She told Breitbart News:
[Landslide Gov.] Ron DeSantis has very strong positions on immigration. [Newly elected] J.D. Vance … [and] Ted Budd have strong positions on immigration. There’s no evidence anywhere that taking the right stance on immigration hurt any [candidate] …
A YouGov poll in February asked 1,500 citizens: “Do you think the following measures intended to reduce inflation are a good idea or a bad idea? …. Increase immigration to reduce worker shortages?”
Just 27 percent of registered voters agreed that importing workers to reduce inflation is a good idea, including 45 percent of President Joe Biden’s 2020 voters. Fifty percent of registered voters said it was a “bad idea,” including 83 percent of President Donald Trump’s 2020 voters. Since February, Americans’ wages have fallen further, amid Biden’s cheap-labor migration and rising inflation.
Romney’s support for more visa workers also threatens to crash the accelerating automation of specialty crops, such as apples and strawberries.
Romney did not mention the massive wave of illegal migration that has been invited by President Joe Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.
Romney was one of six GOP Senators who voted to confirm Mayorkas, who has since delivered roughly 3 million blue-collar and white-collar illegals into U.S. housing and labor markets. The extra inflow is in addition to the regular annual inflow of roughly 1 million legal immigrants and roughly 500,000 visa workers.
Mayorkas’ wave of illegal migrants has helped to cut inflation because it shrivels Americans’ ability to negotiate decent wages with their employers and the investors.
But Mayorkas’ migration also raised inflation by driving up the price of houses, rents, used cars, and myriad retail items.
Romney’s op-ed also declared: “We need new legal immigrants—at least a million a year to keep the population from declining.”
“The population is still growing — where does he want to put all these [extra] people?” Jenks responded.
The inflow of migrants also spikes government spending by pushing more Americans onto the economic sidelines and into welfare and aid programs. Yet Romney complained that the increased government spending is boosting inflation:
Rather, it is automatic “nondiscretionary” spending on entitlements, such as Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid, and on servicing the debt. It’s this spending that is growing faster than the economy … Excessive spending not only adds to the national debt, it is highly stimulative and inflationary.
Romney’s understanding of immigration economics “is embarrassing for him, but it’s tragic for the rest of us,” Jenks added.
Since Trump’s immigration curbs expanded wages for ordinary Americans, immigration reforms are a core demand of the GOP’s base.
The CNN exit polls in the 2022 midterms showed that immigration was the top issue for one-in-seven Republican voters. Immigration was deemed more important than crime, abortion, or gun rights, and was ranked second in importance after inflation. Immigration was tied with abortions as the second-most important issue in a Fox News poll of more than 100,000 people which was taken from October 31 to Nov 8.
Romney’s op-ed did include one interesting anecdote about immigration politics within the Democratic Party:
I asked a leading Democrat why his party hasn’t acted to secure the border, especially since its failure to do so gives my party a huge advantage in swing states such as Arizona and Nevada. His answer: “You don’t understand the power of the immigration lobby.”
That lobby has encouraged hundreds of thousands of migrants to take their children through Panama’s jungle, where thousands of migrants have died:
Green Card Giveaway for Big Tech, Backed by NRCC Chair Tom Emmer, May Get Spotlight in Lame Duck Congress
Beltway lobbyists are hoping a lame duck Congress rams through a green card giveaway for the nation’s largest tech conglomerates that would hugely reward them for rapidly outsourcing American jobs to foreign visa workers.
The EAGLE Act, a rebranded version of Big Tech’s S.386, is sponsored by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) — who represents Silicon Valley’s tech elite — and has the backing of 75 other House Democrats and eight House Republicans including National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chair Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN).
Emmer’s office did not respond to a request for comment by Breitbart News.
Before all midterm election races are called, Capitol Hill is already abuzz with pressure from lobbyists that a lame duck Congress ought to pass the green card giveaway.
Among the most prominent measures, the green card giveaway would reward tech corporations for having imported mostly Indian nationals on H-1B visas to take white-collar American jobs and ensure hundreds of thousands of those visa workers are fast-tracked into employment-based green cards and, in five years, eligible for naturalized United States citizenship.
Tech corporations would likely be the largest beneficiaries as only employment-based green cards would likely go to foreign H-1B visa workers under the green card giveaway. For years, American tech workers have told Breitbart News they are terrified of the rapid outsourcing and job discrimination that would ensue as a result of the plan.
“The discrimination will become rampant,” a retired programmer told Breitbart News in 2018 of nearly identical legislation.
Intuit Inc., Cisco Systems, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Alphabet Inc., Amazon, Apple, Deloitte, IBM, Meta, Intel Corp, and others as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, and Koch brothers’ network have all spent years lobbying for the green card giveaway.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), which supports lower overall immigration levels to boost U.S. wages, is urging House and Senate Republicans to oppose the green card giveaway.
In addition, the green card giveaway would more than double the current rate of available family-based green cards — a maneuver that columnist Joe Guzzardi writes would blow the lid off chain migration, the process where naturalized citizens can sponsor an unlimited number of foreign relatives for green cards to the U.S.
“This would mean that Mexico, the country with the highest backlog of family-based immigrant visa petitions would get the largest share of the pie at the expense of other countries,” Guzzardi writes. “Population-busting chain migration would accelerate.”
Last month, Lofgren suggested to local media that the green card giveaway “should be set for a House vote when Congress reconvenes.” Such a suggestion would come after all Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee opposed the green card giveaway.
