Like Black Lives Matter, DEI must die | Blaze Media
Like Black Lives Matter, DEI must die | Blaze Media:
The social commentary about the death of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across the country is so dramatic and hyperbolic you’d think it was written by Tyler Perry. It also proves that many people are just as vulnerable to racial propaganda as they were four years ago. At that time, everyone from politicians to pastors bought the lies that a Marxist, anti-God, anti-family, anti-capitalist, pro-abortion organization was fighting for racial uplift.
Why?
"...oldest motives...
"It wasn't just the money, it wasn't just $8 million, it was his ego!" Jordan summarized.
"Pride and money is why he knowingly violated the rules.
The oldest motive in the book: pride and money."
Must read!-----We Could Use a Man like Calvin Coolidge Again - American Thinker
"We added more to the national debt than any president in his term in all of history!" - Clarice Feldman"A day after his pumped-up divisive State of the Union address, unsurprisingly headlined “fiery” by the copycat media lackeys, President Biden, speaking in Pennsylvania, reverted to his old befuddled self.
And large budget deficits are a pattern in Democrat-run cities and states.
Well, the last statement is true. I’ll give him that."Pennsylvania, I have a message for you: send me to Congress!"
"Last night [at] the U.S. Capitol -- the same building where our freedoms came under assault on July the 6th!"
"We added more to the national debt than any president in his term in all of history!"
And large budget deficits are a pattern in Democrat-run cities and states.
- Democrats pay off cronies and constituencies with government money and then raise your taxes because they’ve spent more than they were able to squeeze out of the economy.
- They look the other way at rising crime because they defunded the police and decriminalized conduct and then bemoan empty purses as people and businesses flee.
- They locked down their states and were surprised to learn that capped the revenue spigot.
- They made ridiculous, frivolous expenditures like bike lanes and street cars and painting BLM on a major street and then can’t pay for necessities like cops, road repairs, and schools.
Maryland’s budget problems worsened Thursday with tax receipts failing to hit estimates for the fifth consecutive time since the pandemic ended...
Extreme leftist propagandists at PolitiFact Cover Up Biden’s Role in the Murder of Laken Riley
Useful idiots at PolitiFact assert that President Biden had nothing to do with the murder of a nursing student by an illegal border crosser - By James D. 
"Overview
The “fact checker” PolitiFact asserts that President Biden had nothing to do with the murder of a nursing student by an illegal border crosser because “Biden does not decide who is released into the country.”
In reality, the president has vast powers to decide who is allowed into the U.S., and the person charged with this murder was let in as a direct consequence of Biden’s actions...

Biden’s Actions
- During the Republican Party’s formal response to Biden’s recent State of the Union address, U.S. Senator Katie Britt of Alabama blamed “President Biden’s senseless border policies” for “horrific murders”...
- Countering Britt, PolitiFact reporters...claim that: Biden does not decide who is released into the country. Border officials decide whom to release into the U.S. because they lack enough resources to detain everyone who illegally crosses U.S. borders.
- Border officials work for the Department of Homeland Security, which is under the authority of Biden and the person he appointed to lead this agency, Alejandro Mayorkas.
- On his first day in office, Biden temporarily suspended President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy (formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols), which required border officials to quickly eject the vast bulk of Central Americans who illegally cross the U.S./Mexico border.
- Any of these migrants who claimed to have a legal basis to be in the U.S. could then wait in Mexico while their cases were adjudicated—instead of being released into the U.S. where deportation is extremely unlikely.
- Four months later, Mayorkas permanently terminated Remain in Mexico to the cheers of “migrant rights advocates” who called this “a huge victory” and welcomed the illegal border crossers into the U.S. with literal hugs.
- After a federal judge and a federal appeals court ordered the Biden administration to reinstate Remain in Mexico, the Supreme Court issued a 5–4 ruling in June 2022 that allowed Biden to end it.
- Three months later in September 2022, a Venezuelan migrant named Jose Ibarra illegally crossed the U.S./Mexico border, was arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol, and was released into the U.S.—an action generally prohibited under Remain in Mexico.
- A year and a half later, Ibarra was arrested for the murder of Riley.

Biden’s Treasury ‘Hiding’ $40 Billion in Outlays
"...less transparency and less accountability of secret sweetheart deals, - By Mark Tapscott"Federal officials secretly spent more than $40 billion under what they call “Other Transaction Agreements” (OTAs) despite a federal law that requires the government to post such expenditures on the USAspending.gov website...
Biden is hiding billions by not disclosing the details about the dollars his deputies are doling out using loosely defined deals referred to as ‘Other Transaction Agreements,’ or OTAs,” Ms. Ernst said...

Inside California's bipartisan fight to save kids from Big Trans | Blaze Media
Inside California's bipartisan fight to save kids from Big Trans | Blaze Media:
The battle Protect Kids is fighting began with AB 1314, a proposed California state law mandating parental notification concerning any gender issues a child reports to teachers or other school employees. When that bill was struck down, its author, Bill Essayli, brought the idea directly to school boards. Those who implemented such notification measures found themselves embroiled in lawsuits filed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
Protect Kids then decided it would be more efficient to take the issue directly to the public in the form of a ballot initiative, which could be voted on as early as this November.
Can the CCP turn them all off?!!-----‘Clearly Overlooked This’: Probe Finds Strange Communication Devices On Chinese Cranes In US Ports

The congressional probe discovered that several of these cranes, built by Chinese mega-manufacturer ZMPC, contain communications devices that were not requested or don’t appear to support standard operations, heightening existing espionage concerns, according to the WSJ.

Flashback: Biden in 2006 tells MSNBC's Chris Matthews 'illegal aliens' must 'learn to speak English,' 'earn their way' in | Blaze Media
Flashback: Biden in 2006 tells MSNBC's Chris Matthews 'illegal aliens' must 'learn to speak English,' 'earn their way' in | Blaze Media:
Let's flash back to another MSNBC clip that's been making the rounds on social media since left-wing undergarments got in a twist over Biden's ghastly "illegal" utterance.
It's a 2006 video of then-U.S. Sen. Biden telling MSNBC's Chris Matthews that "illegal aliens" need to "learn to speak English," among other requirements for getting to reside in the U.S.
In the clip, Matthews kicks things off with — count 'em — three "illegal" references in one question as he asks Biden if there's "a Democratic Party position which accommodates the need to stop illegal entry, punish people who hire people with cheap wages illegally, and also gives hope to people who live here illegally and people who want to come here right now?"

Banning TikTok raises some thorny free speech issues | Blaze Media
Banning TikTok raises some thorny free speech issues | Blaze Media:
You might have heard about the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act this week. On social media — and even in some headlines — it’s been referred to as the “Ban TikTok” bill.
The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act addresses concerns regarding TikTok’s ties to its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. So far, it’s gained unanimous approval from the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee. With a vote of 50 to 0, the committee advanced legislation that “would make it illegal for U.S. entities to distribute, maintain or update apps or other immersive technology owned by ByteDance.”
“Disgraceful”: Messy TermsOfService update allegedly locks Roku devices until users give in Users are opted in automatically unless they write a letter to Roku by March 21.
A large button reading "Agree" follows. The pop-up doesn't offer a way to disagree, and users are unable to use their device unless they hit agree. - SCHARON HARDING 
"...This month, users on Roku's support forums reported suddenly seeing a message when turning on their Roku TV or streaming device reading:
"We've made an important update: We’ve updated our Dispute Resolution Terms. Select ‘Agree’ to agree to these updated Terms and to continue enjoying our products and services. Press * to view these updated Terms." A large button reading "Agree" follows.

Roku has further aggravated customers who have found that disagreeing to its updated terms is harder than necessary...
To opt out of Roku's ToS update, which primarily changes the "Dispute Resolution Terms," users must send a letter to Roku's general counsel in California mentioning: "the name of each person opting out and contact information for each such person, the specific product models, software, or services used that are at issue, the email address that you used to set up your Roku account (if you have one), and, if applicable, a copy of your purchase receipt."...
U.S. city cuts $5 million from programs to give illegals free housing
U.S. city cuts $5 million from programs to give illegals free housing:
Topline: The City of Denver announced $5 million in budget cuts to help pay for free shelter for migrants from the southern border, with more budget cuts expected.
But according to records at OpenTheBooks.com, roughly one-third of Denver city employees made six-figure salaries last year — raising the question of why city services that benefit taxpayers are the first to lose funding.
Amid record high energy demand, America is running out of electricity - The Washington Post
AI and the boom in clean-tech manufacturing are pushing America’s power grid to the brink. Utilities can’t keep up."Vast swaths of the United States are at risk of running short of power as electricity-hungry data centers and clean-technology factories proliferate around the country, leaving utilities and regulators grasping for credible plans to expand the nation’s creaking power grid.
- In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of new electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently.
- Arizona Public Service, the largest utility in that state, is also struggling to keep up, projecting it will be out of transmission capacity before the end of the decade absent major upgrades...
