Biden pays to not work

Health and Hu­man Ser­vices Sec­re­tary Xavier Be­cerra on Wednes­day ex­tended the na­tional pub­lic-health emer­gency for an­other 90 days. Why? Be­cause per­ma­nent cri­sis means more de­pendence on gov­ern­ment.

The Fam­i­lies First Coro­n­avirus Re­sponse Act of March 2020 sus­pended food-stamp work re­quire­ments for able-bod­ied adults with­out de­pen­dents dur­ing the emer­gency. These in­di­vid­u­als nor­mally can’t re­ceive ben­e­fits for more than three months over a three-year pe­riod un­less they work or par­tic­i­pate in a work-train­ing pro­gram. Con­gress also boosted ben­e­fits, so the av­er­age monthly pay­ment is now dou­ble ($240 per per­son) what it was in 2019.

Con­gress also in­creased Med­icaid fund­ing for states dur­ing the emer­gency on the con­di­tion they don’t re­move ben­e­fi­cia­ries from their rolls, even if they earn too much to qual­ify. Med­icaid en­roll­ment has swelled by more than 14.6 mil­lion (20%) since Feb­ruary 2020—more than gained cov­er­age from Oba­ma­Care.

 

Biden fixing wrong problem

In 2020 in Chicago only 139 out of the 11,258 firearms seized (1.2%) were ghost guns.

In 2019 in Philadelphia police seized 95 ghost guns out of the 4,264 guns they confiscated (2.2%.)

Leading vs Dithering

Slovakia Leads, Biden-not so much

I’m Ashamed of Biden’s Dithering 

Slovakia, a tiny European country, is going to send it’s long range anti-air missiles to Ukraine.

In the meantime despite Ukraine’s heroically brave efforts, thousands of civilians have been murdered, cities are being  reduced to rubble and millions of Ukraine’s have become refugees.  Without better weapons Ukraine will not be able to stop Russia.

It’s been 6 weeks + 2 days since Russia invaded Ukraine and Biden continues to dither.

Last year Biden suspended delivering short range anti-tank missiles because he didn’t want to provoke Putin and only resumed minimal shipments as Russian gathered its forces and threatened Ukraine.

Biden refused to impose sanctions because he didn’t want to provoke Putin.

Only after the UK and other European countries led the way did Biden start providing larger numbers of short range antitank and short range anti-air missiles.

When Ukraine requested medium and long range anti-air, antitank, and anti-ship missiles Biden refused because didn’t want to provoke Putin.

When Poland offered to transfer fighters to Ukraine Biden refuse because Biden didn’t want to provoke Putin.

Still, Biden continues to dither and not lead efforts to supply Ukraine with needed tanks, jets, and medium and long range weapons.

Ukraine was never a threat to Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine. Defending Ukraine is not attacking Russia.

Biden's Deficit Deceit

 

Intellectual Dishonesty

Biden's claims that he has had record deficit reductions is INTELECTUALLY DISHONEST as he is cherry picking a point in time when there was a high deficit due to the pandemic shut down.  In reality, his spending, even with an open economy and Trump's vaccine, has been the highest in recent years AND he wants to spend even more.

Hypocrisy

 

BLM saves Mansion not lives

Where’s the outrage? Where’s BLM? Where’s Lebron?

Another week and more lives lost. Until the Democrats stop propagating the false narrative nothing will change.

Black lives matter - I support the words but cannot support the organization because it propagates the false narrative that systemic racism is the primary cause of the disparities(murders, incarceration, teen mothers, fatherless households, income, wealth, etc.) between blacks and whites.

Racism exists (though not widespread), it’s bad, and we should continue to work to reduce it. Excess police force exists (though rare), it's  bad and we should continue to work to reduce it.

BLM organization’s positions and policies do not address the problems (murders, fatherless households, teen pregnancy, lack of agency) and do not address the key root causes (it’s not excessive police force or systemic racism.)

Biden Shrinking Military

With the current hostile actions of Russia and the long term threat of China Biden decides it’s a good time to shrink the military: fewer ships, fewer planes, fewer soldiers and reduced capabilities.

Biden Breaking Education

Buried in the Democrat ’s 2700 page, $1.5 trillion bill to fund federal-government agencies for the rest of the fiscal year, Biden issued 13 pages of rules designed to cut off charter schools from federal support. (1) (2)

Charter schools offer the public, mostly lower income blacks and hispanics, an opportunity to escape the teachers union’s ineffective public schools and obtain a real education (3).

(Not) Doing Everything we Can

Biden and his administration continue to say that we are doing everything we can to help the Ukrainians.  

This is not true.

From the very beginning, even when Biden invited Russia to take a part of Ukraine, he told Russia the United States would not use US troops in Ukraine.

Biden refuses to provide a no-fly zone, even a limited one for humanitarian purposes.

Biden refused to put sanctions on Russia before the invasion and still has not sanctioned many Russian oligarchs or stopped Russia exporting oil or gas.

Biden refuses to provide antiship missiles to Ukraine.

Biden refuses to  transfer Polish MiGs to Ukraine. 

Biden halted shipments of anti-tank weapons to Ukraine when Russia started gathering troops on the border 

Biden only released a small number of short range anti-tank missiles Immediately prior to invasion.

After invasion and only after Europe started sending large numbers of an attack missiles Biden increased the number of short range anti-tank missiles.

Biden still not releasing long range antitank missiles.   

Now, three weeks into the war, Biden releasing medium range anti-tank missiles. 

Only now, three weeks into the war, US not opposing other countries providing SA-300, long range anti-error weapon, 

Biden still not providing medium or long range anti-air systems. 

Despite facing a much larger army with more modern armor and modern aircraft the heroically brave efforts of the Ukrainians have stymied Russia’s invasion.

But there are thousands of innocent Ukrainians dying, millions of Ukrainians fleeing  and their cities are being reduced to rubble. 

We are NOT doing everything we can.

Zelenskyy Leads Biden Dithers

If Ukraine prevails it will be due to the heroic bravery of their people, led by Zelenskyy,  in a tremendous struggle against a horrific invasion by Putin, an evil dictator that is mercilessly killing thousands of innocent people and cruelly reducing Ukrainian cities into rubble.

While the military support provided by the US, though limited in number, range and the timing of availability has helped Ukraine, and while additional help with increased range, effectiveness and capabilities may ultimately be made available and may be a factor in the ultimate outcome, Biden’s leadership has been questionable.

In 2014 Russia takes Crimea and occupies Eastern Ukraine and Biden and Obama do nothing. 

In mid-2021, as Putin starts massing troops on Ukraine border. Biden stops providing javelin anti tank missiles to Ukraine because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. 

In late 2021, as Putin increases the numbers of troops on Ukraine’s border and claims that Ukraine belongs to Russia, Zelenskyy requests large numbers of antitank, anti-air and anti-ship missiles. Biden only provides a small number of anti-take missiles because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. 

Ukraine requests that the US impose the threatened sanctions to prevent Putin from invading.  Biden refuses because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. 

When Russia invades Ukraine with a massive military force with modern aircraft and modern armor, it is only after Europe begins providing significant numbers anti-tank and anti-air weapons. That Biden decides to increase the numbers of antitank missiles and to start providing anti-air missiles.

When Russia begins using artillery and high altitude bombing to start reducing Ukrainian cities to ruble, killing thousands of civilians, forcing millions to become refugees and destroying the Ukrainian infrastructure, Ukraine asks for no-fly zone, jets, longer-range anti-tank and anti-air weapons, and anti-ship missiles. Biden says no no-fly zone because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. Biden won’t transfer Polish jets because it doesn’t want to provoke Putin. Biden doesn’t supply longer-range antitank and anti-air weapons because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. Biden doesn’t supply anti-ship missiles because he doesn’t want to provoke Putin. 

Today Zelenkyy addressed Congress and begged the leader of the free world to lead, to provide better anti-air weapons, jets, no-fly zone and more sanctions.  We will see if Biden continues to lead from behind or assumes the moral role of leader and defender of democracy.

If Ukraine prevails it will be Zelenskyy and the Ukrainians that should get all the credit and Biden should be ashamed that his dithering and weakness resulted in the most death and destruction seen in Europe since the end of WWII.

Defending Ukraine is not attacking Russia.

Biden MIA

The EU met to discuss increasing sanctions on Putin. As you might expect there was no consensus with some countries like Germany wanting to have weak sanctions and other countries like Poland wanting to have stronger sanctions. 

Missing from the discussion, Joe Biden.

The world needs leader ship to stop Putin. But Biden is too busy lying about who caused inflation.

Biden Blathers Ukraine Burns

This Sunday morning, on the news shows, Biden team saying we’re doing everything we can to help Ukraine.

This is not true. We haven’t sanctioned all oligarchs. We haven’t blocked all Russian banks from Swift. We refused to transfer Polish jets to Ukraine. We haven’t provided adequate type of surface to air missiles yet. 

Putin is an evil man, a thuggish dictator running a kleptocracy. He kills journalists. He kills political opponents. He kills innocent civilians by the tens of thousands.

Putin said he wants the Russian empire back (Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia...)

Putin has invaded Ukraine, is destroying cities, killing thousands of civilians, and causing a massive refugee crisis.

Biden is afraid of Putin.

We have seen that the Russian military, though large, is rather inept and would be no match for our conventional forces.  The only danger would be Putin using nuclear weapons.

However, if Putin is willing to use nuclear weapons to take Ukraine then he would be willing to use nuclear weapons to take the rest of his empire (Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia….). If we are willing to stop Putin we should stop him now!

Biden gives bomb to Iran (probably)

Well no terms have yet been disclosed, I have a complete lack of faith that a Biden deal will stop by ran from having a nuclear bomb. 

Biden adistration is negotiating with Iran to get back to Obama’s nuclear deal.  

Keep in mind that Obama‘s Iran nuclear deal only froze Iran’s uranium enrichment activities until 2025, and then Iran could do what they wanted. All while we knew Iran was lying about their nuclear activities, were cheating on the agreement and never allowed inspections anywhere anytime.

Yesterday Iran lunches ballistic missiles at the US consulate in Kurdistan

Biden administration: “This is a concern. We will issue a statement.”

Biden administration stops the US Justice Department from prosecuting Iranians planning to kill John Bolton.

Biden adistration is relying on China and Russia to negotiate the nuclear deal with Iran for us.

Good luck with that.

It's Biden's Price Hike

Why are we seeing record inflation? Just look at the quantity of money the government has injected into the economy.

No, it's not Putin's price hike as oil prices did not spike until the invasion and the inflation we are seeing is before the invasion.

Milton Friedman said: “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”

Has their been a rapid increase of money in proportion to the economy?

Yes!  A dramatic increase.  A portion can be explained and justified as a reasonable reaction to the initial shut-down of the economy due to the pandemic.  Think of it as an insurance policy where the government pays for what was lost if a very large, very rare event happens.

However, if the government pays significantly more than was lost, you end up with too much money chasing too few goods and inflation results. This is what is happening.  While the last amounts that were  injected by Trump may have been arguably needed, it is clear that the significant amounts injected by Biden so far, not to mention what more he has proposed, are in excess of what is needed and as a result we are seeing increased prices.

Biden's Fuel Failure

 

Biden's Performance Lacking

Crude oil and natural gas production were growing before the pandemic.  After the pandemic with Biden, oil and gas production are far lower than the trend before the pandemic.  A part of this poor performance might be due to the temporary low prices caused be the lower usage during the pandemic affecting new exploration, drilling and productions.  However, it is impossible not to recognize that the hostile polices of the Biden administration (see below) are a major factor in the failure to increase production back the previous trend.

September 2020 Biden: “ I guarantee you, I guarantee you, we are gonna end fossil fuel, and I am not going to cooperate with them. Before 2050, God willing.”

October 2020 Baiden promised to get rid of fossil fuels.

January 2021 Biden orders the Interior Department to halt new oil and natural gas leases on public lands and waters, and begin a thorough review of existing permits for fossil fuel development.

January 2021 Biden directs the federal government to remove additional 30% of federal lands and water from oil/gas exploration by 2030 

January 2021 Biden revoked the Keystone XL pipeline permit

Feb 2021 Biden adopts an inflated social cost of CO2 of $51 per ton impose more onerous fuel-economy and energy efficiency standards and requiring Agencies to use it to conduct environmental impact statements under the National Environmental Policy Act for projects lime the Alaska liquefied natural gas project and mineral leases.

May 2021 The Biden Administration directs agency officials to fight climate change through financial regulation.

May 2021 Biden directs the SEC to require companies to enumerate and disclose the financial risks of climate change

June 2021 Federal judge blocked the administration’s temporary ban on new leases to drill for oil and gas on public lands and ordered that lease sales continue.

November 2021 Biden administration did hold the largest-ever offshore leasing auction known as Lease Sale 257, a Gulf of Mexico offering primed by the Trump administration. 

January 2022 The Biden administration will scrap the authorization to expanded leasing and development in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, or NPR-A. 

February 2022  Lease Sale 257 vacated by a federal judge after being challenged by environmental groups. The administration opted not to appeal in a Feb. 28 filing.

Feb 2022 Federal Judge James Cain issues injunction against Biden using his social cost of CO2

February 2022 Biden's Fed nominee Sarah Bloom Raskin claims the  Fed will have to "manage" the financial risks of climate change and climate policy saying: "Our financial regulatory bodies must do all they can—which turns out to be a lot—to bring about the adoption of practices and policies that will allocate capital and align portfolios toward sustainable investments that do not depend on carbon and fossil fuels. Translation - the Fed will make it more difficult for financial institutions to lend to oil and gas production

March 2022  Biden uses the injunction to halt permitting work on at least 18 wells on federal oil and gas leases in New Mexico and new lease sales. The White House is blaming the judge for what it was already doing or, rather, not doing.

March 2022  In a 3-2 vote divided along party lines, Biden’s appointees to the Federal Energy Commission (FERC) commission dramatically changed the policy for reviewing and approving applications for new natural-gas pipeline projects requiring the projects to greatly increase the way negative effects on the environment are measured thus making these permits much more difficult to obtain.

March 2022 Industry is using a higher percentage of federal onshore and offshore leases than at any time in the past, and it’s continuing to increase production to meet surging demand. Biden purposefully misusing the facts.  Just because you have a lease doesn’t mean there’s actually oil and gas in that lease, and there has to be a lot of development that occurs between the leasing and then ultimately permitting for that acreage to be productive.

March 2022 Biden administration appeals and overturns lower court ruling preventing the use of higher CO2 costs of the Biden Administration. So now it will be harder to get permits and leases. Will have to wait to see what the supreme court does.

Biden’s a P#%>y

On Tuesday, after Poland made an offer to transfer Mig 29 jets to the Ukraine through the US, because they were afraid they would get attacked by Putin, the Pentagon rejected the offer claiming “It is simply not clear to us that there is a substantive rationale for it,” 

That was a lie, a smokescreen for Biden 

Turns out it was Biden that stopped the Polish  jets from going to the Ukraine because he was afraid it would provoke Putin.
