Things Worth Considering 2

Given the hard left leaning of the Biden administration this in not a surprise. Quote: "As the surge of illegal immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border intensifies, Americans express their growing concerns in two new polls. Rasmussen reports that 65% of respondents to its survey see border security as a vital national security interest for the United States.  “Sixty-two percent of voters say it is more important to gain control of the border than to legalize the status of undocumented workers already living in the United States,” according to Rasmussen. Another poll conducted by Politico shows that support for the notion of a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants has declined dramatically, down 14% in the past three months, mostly among Democrats.  In fact, among respondents who identified themselves as Democrats, support dropped from 72% three months ago to 57%. According to Politico: “The idea of giving illegal immigrants a way to become citizens has been popular for several years, but the new poll numbers show Democrats could be losing the battle of public opinion in the wake of GOP messaging.” The new border crisis, for which the Biden administration is taking heat, is at least partially responsible for these new numbers.  Even the Washington Post seems to put the blame on Mr. Biden.  As the Post put it, “He issued five immigration executive orders on Inauguration Day alone and promised an immigration policy far more humane and welcoming than that of his predecessor. His administration also began allowing unaccompanied minors into the country, a marked departure from the Trump administration’s approach.” Rep. Vicente Gonzalez [D-TX] also seems to put the blame on the president.  The Post quoted him as saying, “When you create a system that incentivizes people to come across, and they are released, that immediately sends a message to Central America that if you come across you can stay.  It incentivizes droves of people to come, and the only way to slow it down is by changing policy at our doorstep. If they don’t change the policy, the flow of continued migration traffic isn’t going to stop or slow down.” The president puts the blame for the calamity on former President Donald Trump, as does Vice President Kamala Harris, who has taken over the task of dealing with the crisis.  He says she will take measures to stem the migration to our border with Mexico, but he did not say how she’ll do that.  Nor has he said why he is not taking charge. Meanwhile, the news that Ms. Harris would be taking over the task of dealing with the border crisis was not well received in some quarters.  Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey was quick to call her “the worst possible choice.”  Ducey said, “If President Biden’s intent was to show that he’s taking this issue seriously, he’s really done the exact opposite here.  He’s completely trivialized this issue by putting someone in charge who flat out just doesn’t care.”     Even Dems are Distancing Themselves from the Biden-Harris Illegal Migration Dilemma - AMAC - The Association of Mature American Citizens

This item is really bad news for the troubled Biden clan. Quote: " Hunter Biden was the subject of a strange missing firearm case in 2018 after Hallie Biden, the wife of his late brother and subsequently Hunter’s girlfriend, tossed it into a trash can behind a grocery store near a high school, according to a strange new report from Politico. It appears Hunter, the son of President Joe Biden, might have lied on the federal forms he filled out to purchase the gun a few months prior, forms The Federalist has now obtained."  And, "Hunter’s history of drug use is well-known, and he’s scheduled to release a tell-all memoir about it in April. His lifestyle contributed to his divorce from his wife Kathleen in 2017. Hunter “created financial concerns for the family by spending extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations), while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills,” his ex-wife said in the divorce filing. The now-president’s scandal-ridden son was in numerous drug and alcohol rehab programs, including in 2003, 2010, and 2014, soon after being discharged from the military for using cocaine. According to the New Yorker, he also went on a cocaine binge in 2016. His infamous laptop he dropped off for repairs in 2019, a story which tech giants and the media aggressively tried to cover up during the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, included graphic photos and video of Hunter allegedly smoking crack cocaine while engaged in a sex act. It’s unclear whether Hunter was using drugs around the time of his firearm purchase or what timeframe the question “are you a user of” illicit substances implies. Hunter was, however, suspected of smoking crack cocaine in a Washington, D.C., strip club in late 2018. He purchased the firearm the same year on Oct. 12...Now newly uncovered text messages that appear to be from Hunter Biden not only corroborate Politico’s reporting that the Secret Service got involved in the missing gun incident, ostensibly to cover up the Biden family mess, an involvement both the Secret Service and the White House have denied, but they also include mention of drug use in connection with the gun fiasco... Meanwhile, despite his own son’s irresponsibility with firearms, a recklessness most American gun owners don’t share, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris continue to pressure lawmakers to pass sweeping gun control legislation and have both threatened to take executive action if Congress doesn’t do their bidding. As Biden prepares to nominate someone to head up the ATF, Republican senators will have plenty of important questions to ask during a confirmation hearing, such as whether the nominee will commit to using the ATF, which is a federal law enforcement organization, to investigate Hunter’s potential fraud on his Firearms Transaction Record — or whether, instead, like the reported incident with the Secret Service, the Biden nominee would continue to cover up Biden family scandals."     READ: The Gun Background Check Form Where Hunter Biden Claimed He Wasn't Using Drugs (thefederalist.com)

Yet another corrupt act by Nancy Pelosi. Quote: "Democrat incumbent Rita Hart (D-IA) lost to Republican challenger Mariannette Miller-Meeks by just six votes in the November 6 election. After an official recount was held, the state of Iowa certified the results and a bipartisan commission agreed that Miller-Meeks won the election. But as the U.S. House decides who it seats as members, Rita Hart petitioned the Democrat-controlled House Administration Committee, an action blessed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to overturn the results and officially seat her in Congress. However, some Congressional Democrats aren’t happy about trying to overturn the election. “Losing a House election by six votes is painful for Democrats,” said Democrat Congressman Dean Phillips. “But overturning it in the House would be even more painful for America. Just because a majority can, does not mean a majority should,” Phillips said, letting Pelosi and Hart know that he does not support their effort to steal an election...“It would be wrong on principle. It would also be political malpractice. While we would gain one seat, we would lose a lot more next year,” POLITICO reported. Of course, the irony is that Democrats are now trying to steal an election after spending the past few months accusing Donald Trump of trying to “steal” the Presidency from Joe Biden when Trump was just making legal challenges, not trying to outright steal an election.But if Democrats are going to pull off this steal, Pelosi can’t afford more than three defections on the floor. And two Democrats have already declared their opposition to overturning the results in Iowa’s Second Congressional District."  This Democrat’s defection just caught Nancy Pelosi off guard and handed her an unexpected defeat - Political Animal News     How indecent can Nancy Pelosi be? As low as indecency can go.   

Both Biden and Buttigieg are fools if they think this is an idea that will be embraced by Americans. It is one of the worst ideas ever. Quote: " It’s just bad idea after bad idea with this “administration.” As of right now, Joe Biden certainly has a place as one of the worst presidents of all-time (and he has only been in office for just over two months).  Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg was ridiculed on social media on Friday for expressing openness to a policy that would pay for President Joe Biden’s massive infrastructure budget by taxing motorists for each mile they drive.  “So, I think that shows a lot promise,” Buttigieg said regarding a mileage-based tax during an interview with CNBC. “If we believe in that so-called ‘user-pays principle,’ the idea that part of how we pay for roads is you pay based on how much you drive. The gas tax used to be the obvious way to do that; it’s not anymore.” The Democrat party proves once again that is it the party of really, really, really bad ideas.    Joe Biden's Transportation Secretary Open to Taxing Drivers for Each Mile They Drive ⋆ Want to guess who this would hurt most? ⋆ Flag And Cross    

This item proves just how much Democrats hate verifiable voter rules that guarantee only live citizens with proof of ID and residency have an actual right to vote. It halts their long held efforts at committing voter fraud.  Democrats hate that future elections will be honest, free of fraud and support the public will. More power to the people to exercise control over their lives rather than corrupt Democrats forcing their candidates down our throats. Quote: "With ripples of the siege on the US Capitol still undulating through the toxic political discourse in Washington, DC, some left-wing public officials already have reverted back to being perfectly fine with activist efforts to disrupt the democratic process. An Democrat state lawmaker was arrested in Atlanta Thursday during riotous protests over Georgia’s plan to correct the serious flaws in its election law. Despite the activist sideshow outside his office, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed the law to implement new safeguards on voting by mail and to reassert legislative oversight after disastrous mismanagement drew nationwide condemnation and added to a growing distrust in America’s foundering political institutions. The problems were largely introduced last year after Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger unilaterally settled a lawsuit with Democrat-backed anti-election-integrity groups while failing to consult the state legislature."    Democrat State Rep. Goes Ballistic as Ga. Passes Crucial Vote Integrity Reforms - Headline USA   Hopefully many more states do the same thing to thwart massively corrupt Nancy Pelosi's attempt to steal from the states their constitutional powers putting them in charge of THEIR voting processes. The elites at the top of the Democrat party's self-righteousness efforts to thwart the rights of the states do not trump the Constitution no matter how hard they try to convince us that they are smarter than our nation's founders were. Anyone who thinks for themselves knows that our Founders were far smarter by a long shot than our current crop of Democrats and far more responsible and ethical to boot.
