At the behest of congressional Democrats, Biden flouted the Constitution and broke his oath of office by issuing a ban on evictions that he and his advisers know to be illegal.
If landlords try to evict tenants for not paying rent, they could face criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment.
Gene Sperling, who oversees the Biden administration's rollout of COVID-19 relief, told reporters on Tuesday that the president "Has not only kicked the tires; he has double, triple, quadruple checked" the legality of an eviction ban, but the CDC told Biden it was "Unable to find the legal authority for even new, targeted eviction moratoriums." Indeed, the notion that a federal agency tasked with the control and prevention of infectious diseases could simply by fiat impose an "Eviction moratorium" on the entire country, effectively nationalizing housing, is shocking and outrageous.
The utter contempt for the rule of law shown in all of this is simply staggering, as is the contempt shown for actual landlords, nearly half of whom nationwide are small-time landlords, people who own a second house or apartment that they rent out.
The problem is, the money isn't being used, partly because many renters know they don't risk eviction for not paying rent.
With trillions of government aide already creating incentives for people not to return to work, the eviction moratorium creates an incentive not to pay rent - or even to apply for government assistance to pay it.
Democratic state lawmakers in Texas have fled their constituencies - and broken state law - to assemble in Washington and pressure Congress to pass a dubious and far-reaching federal voting law that would preempt a GOP-backed law back home and effectively nationalize elections in the U.S. They were joined this week by Democratic state lawmakers from all over the country.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
