Congressman Proposes Sending Troops Stationed At The Capitol To The Southern Border | The Daily Caller
Congressman Proposes Sending Troops Stationed At The Capitol To The Southern Border | The Daily Caller:
National Guardsmen stationed at the Capitol building should instead be sent to address the “humanitarian crisis” at the southern border, a Republican congressman said Tuesday.
The Guard Our Border Act would reassign 95% of the National Guardsmen stationed at the Capitol building to the southern border since the U.S. Capitol Police said Monday that there are “no known, credible threats” to the complex, North Carolina Rep. Greg Murphy said in a statement.
“Our National Guard were formed to respond to states of national crisis in this country. The Capitol Police have acknowledged that there is presently no credible threat to our nation’s Capitol Building. Yet, because of this administration’s new policies, there is a national security and public health threat at our southern border,” Murphy said in the statement.

Federal COVID-19 Bailout Prohibits States From Cutting Taxes
- The measure could also make it illegal for states to create new tax credit programs, such as those used for expanding school choice.
Buried within the $1.9 trillion emergency spending bill that Congress sent to President Joe Biden's desk on Wednesday is a provision that could effectively block states from cutting taxes if they accept federal bailout dollars.
That provision, added to the bill by the Senate last week, could put a halt to several states' plans to cut taxes this year as a way to stimulate economic growth following the COVID-19 pandemic...Read all.

Sino-Forming South of the Border
"The following story appeared Feb. 12 in Asia TImes and remains behind the paywall. Like most newspapers, Asia Times has to charge for content to stay in business. I am releasing the article to PJ Media readers because it’s critical for us to understand what competition we face. American officials habitually dismiss China’s global infrastructure buildout as “debt trap diplomacy,” but the real story is more complicated, and more ominous. I know it, because I spent several years in the belly of the dragon.
"...Banned from the United States, Huawei flourished in Mexico, and its broadband base stations provide service for dozens of Mexican cities, including a few that originally were assigned to Nokia.The cost of broadband service plunged and the number of subscribers more than tripled.
...That’s what I meant by “Sino-forming,” namely transplanting China’s infrastructure-led growth model to dozens of other countries.

Horowitz: The biggest COVID lie right now: No immunity from prior infection - TheBlaze
Horowitz: The biggest COVID lie right now: No immunity from prior infection - TheBlaze:
The isolation of all human beings as a strategy to deal with this virus began with the novel assumption of mass asymptomatic spread, a hypothesis now disproven by studies on transmission. Now, the mandatory masking and isolation are continuing without question based on a shocking lie that the one-third of the country who have already gotten the virus – despite the masks and lockdowns, by the way – are not immune to the virus.
The beginning of another jihad to silence dissent!-----Alexander Vindman Proposes Suing Conservative Media to 'Deradicalize' It
"Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (Ret.), a key figure in the first impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, published an op-ed Monday at the Lawfare blog in which he proposed suing conservative media outlets to make them less “radicalized.”
...Now, lamenting that he had not responded by suing President Trump over tweets about him, and noting that the First Amendment “gravely” limits what government can do to stop “lies” by the media, Vindman argues that “right-wing media” (alone) should be held accountable through a lawsuit strategy:
Recent events have made the need for accountability more pressing than ever. Should anyone be surprised that viewers of right-wing media are radicalized when media personalities themselves promote radical ideas based on lies?...
...Vindman’s strategy replicates that used by left-wing pressure group Media Matters, whose “Project 2012” strategy document called for lawsuits to be brought against “Fox News and its feeders,” providing “counsel or litigation costs” to potential plaintiffs...Read all.

"This correction in the “news” pages of The Washington Post a few days ago is simply stunning—and tells you all you need to know about the state of the mainstream media today:
- “Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so.
- “Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there. He also told her that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now…’ The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.”

Biden reportedly planning largest tax hike in almost 30 years - TheBlaze:
President Joe Biden is reportedly planning the largest hike in federal taxes in almost three decades to fund a long-term economic recovery program to follow in the footsteps of the recently passed $1.9 trillion stimulus package.
Unnamed sources confirmed the plans to Bloomberg News over the weekend, reportedly indicating that the major tax hike — the first since 1993 — is expected to pay for key Biden administration initiatives such as "infrastructure, climate, and expanded help for poorer Americans."

Happy Anniversary America! It’s One Year After 15-Days To Slow The Spread (And A Year Of Democratic Lies And MSM Coverup)
One year ago today, during a March 16, 2020, White House press conference, President Trump, Dr. Fauci, and Dr. Birx announced the 15-Days To Slow The Spread program, which began the shut down of the American economy.
365 days and a few peaks later, COVID-19 is still spreading, albeit at a much slower pace thanks to President Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed,” which so far has produced three vaccines in record time.
The “15 Days” were the latest in a series of Trump administration serious moves attempting to fight the pandemic.

365 days and a few peaks later, COVID-19 is still spreading, albeit at a much slower pace thanks to President Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed,” which so far has produced three vaccines in record time.
The “15 Days” were the latest in a series of Trump administration serious moves attempting to fight the pandemic.
Already demonstrated on this site were the specific actions the Trump team took immediate action on the virus during the last nine days of January 2020 and the first two weeks of February and itemized that during the same time period Joe Biden and his team downplayed the seriousness of COVID-19. Not that anyone who followed the MSM would know about Trump’s actions or Biden telling America the ChinaVirus was no big deal.
The Democrats and their sycophants in the mainstream media lied about both reactions.
The timeline below demonstrates that in the weeks leading up to the shut-down, the Trump Team was still acting against the virus, and the Biden team was still downplaying COVID and fighting against Trump’s moves.

The Sovereign Crime of Industrial Scale Vote Fraud - American Thinker
Sovereign crime is not something we see a lot of in America as our governmental institutions are generally not organized to commit, support or hide a crime.
"...Sovereign crime.
It does have a ring to it.
Most Americans have never seen an organized crime take place, in plain view, supported by or covered up by governmental institutions.
But it happens all the time around the world, even in some countries that are quite Westernized.
Sovereign crime means your government was a participant, active or passive, enabling vote fraud...Read all!!
"...using Biden as a fall guy, they plan to divert the anger of Americans toward him and avoid the blame. ..."
"I have no special knowledge of the inner workings of the Biden White House - but what I have gleaned over decades of observations is that US presidents have disagreements with their own party, at least the presidents who have independent agendas.
There is always some tension between the president and the leaders of his party in Congress as he seeks to prioritize his pet projects over those of other power players.
There is none of that competitive tension now.
The agenda is the agenda of the radicals in the Democrat party.
There is no disagreement, no meetings, no negotiations and no use of the bully pulpit, even to club fence-sitting Republicans over the head.
- That is how I know Biden isn't running the government.
- That is how I know he is incapacitated as the president.
Pelosi and Schumer are using Biden as a fall guy, they plan to divert the anger of Americans toward him and avoid the blame.
He is as disposable as a Styrofoam coffee cup.
That is just how ruthless the Democrats are.
That is just how ruthless the Democrats are.
They will destroy their own to get what they want."
Rand Paul Mocks Anthony Fauci's 'Noble Lies' - Louder With Crowder
Rand Paul Mocks Anthony Fauci's 'Noble Lies' - Louder With Crowder:
You have to remember that his lies are noble lies. He's telling you this because he feels sorry for you because you don't understand, and Americans aren't smart enough to make informed decisions. So, he fashions himself some sort of Greek philosopher. At first, he told you that all the masks don't work. But then he said all masks do work. But that's also a lie also because, really only the N-95 masks work. It's a compilation of lies. But they're all done to protect you because he doesn't think you're smart enough to make any of these decisions on your own.
Where we are forced to comply with Dr. Fauci and his Faucisms, we do. But in private, most of us are doing what we want, when we want, and have been for a long, long time.

"In an annual report that it recently released, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration identified nine Mexican drug cartels as the principal entities behind the flood of cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine into the country.
The DEA’s 2020 National Drug Threat Assessment was published March 2, 2021 and illustrated how Mexico’s leading cartels operate.
The following map from the Daily Mail highlighted the “spheres of influence” the cartels hold and where they have strong commercial interests in the United States...Read all.
