Republican Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana, a member of the House’s Education and Labor Committee, called her appointment a ‘slap in the face,” telling The Daily Mail, “The Biden administration claims CRT doesn’t exist, then appoints a CRT activist to the Department of Education and sics the FBI on parents who oppose their poisonous ideology. The backlash against CRT started because Democrats are obsessed with inserting politics in the classroom, where it doesn’t belong. Appointing a political activist to an agency that’s responsible for kids’ education is a slap in the face to parents across the country.”
Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas added, “At a time when President Biden’s Justice Department is targeting school parents for simply voicing their concerns and objection to the teaching of radical curriculum in our nation’s schools, it is shocking, but not surprising, that they’ve moved to confirm another CRT advocate to a high rank within the Department of Education.”

Biden Banking Nominee Scrubs Karl Marx Paper From Résumé
Toomey asked Omarova to provide a copy of the original thesis to the Senate banking committee by Oct. 13. He said in a statement that neither Omarova nor the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency agreed to hand over the thesis. He noted that presidential nominees are required to submit all copies of their published writings.
Omarova did not respond to questions about the thesis or the revision to her résumé. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also did not respond to requests for comment.
Omarova has received support from progressive lawmakers and special interest groups who support more regulation of the banking system. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) called her nomination "tremendous news." The Sierra Club said that Omarova would erect "guardrails against Wall Street's risky fossil fuel investments" to fight "climate chaos."

Biden Mocks Fox News, Gets Caught In A False Statement
Biden’s penchant for lying has a long history. The Hill noted in an op-ed in May 2020:
Biden’s penchant for lying has a long history. The Hill noted in an op-ed in May 2020:
The Washington Post referenced Biden’s story in 2019 in which he bragged that a four-star general had asked him when he was vice president to travel to Konar province in Afghanistan to honor the courage of a Navy captain and Biden had dismissed concerns about the safety of such a trip.
BIDEN HAS MENTAL BREAKDOWN: “The Ohio Pennsylvania, The Ohio Pennsylvania, I’m From Pennsylvania – the Illinois President”
Biden has been concerning Americans in recent months with his degrading mental state. While speaking to reporters, President Biden completely forgot what he was talking about, causing him to stop talking mid-sentence frozen like a statue.
Biden’s mental capabilities continue to degrade however Democrats and the media refuse to acknowledge this fact.
“I was a senator for a long time. I know how legislation gets done,” Biden said as he lost his train of thought.

Joe Biden Brags About Getting Americans Fired in Rambling Mess of a Speech
That’s some serious Democrat logic on display. The only reason the “rate” of vaccination went up among workers at United Airlines is that those that were fired or laid off are no longer there. That’s like cutting off your legs and then bragging that all of your extremities now have thumbs. You still needed those legs. Businesses need employees. More importantly, employees need to make a living. Everything about what Biden says here is not only nonsensical, it’s morally repulsive. Putting people on the street over a vaccine mandate that isn’t even necessary is some sick stuff.
And on the topic of necessity, Biden once again repeated the ridiculous contention that the unvaccinated put people at risk.
Again, everyone spreads COVID. That’s not my opinion. That’s straight from the CDC. Therefore, there is no additional risk coming from the unvaccinated in regards to the vaccinated nor the economy at large. Biden makes several claims that are just outright false to make that case, though. For example, he claims that a lack of COVID restrictions somehow suppresses economic activity because people are fearful to engage in commerce. Yet, one look at Florida’s current economy shows that’s ludicrous to suggest. Compare the restaurant industry in New York to Miami and the latter is booming while the former is struggling under the vaccine passport regime.
Biden also asserted that the unvaccinated are overrunning hospitals and stopping people with heart attacks from receiving treatment. Again, I can find no evidence of that outside of a few sparse anecdotes, some of which have already been proven false. Will the fact-checkers chime in? You can bet they won’t.

Biden Administration Caught Colluding to Silence America's Parents. Mark Levin Has the Receipts.
The AFL says it’s an inside job by “key Biden Administration stakeholders, including the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, and others, have combined to oppress, threaten, and intimidate parents to chill and prevent them from exercising the rights or privileges secured by the Constitution. To date these efforts, though extensive, have generally proven ineffectual.”
And it wasn’t just any insiders. AFL believes high-ranking officials in the Biden White House staff and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have been meeting since early September to collude not only in the writing of Attorney General Garland’s memorandum but to “develop a plan to use a letter from an outside group as pretext for federal action to chill, deter, and discourage parents from exercising their constitutional rights and privileges.”
In other words, AFL says the Biden administration was in on the unconstitutional effort to mitigate the “political impact of parent mobilization [at school board meetings] and organization around school issues [like CRT and mask mandates] in the upcoming midterm elections” all along. And who was that “outside group”? The good old National School Board Association (NSBA). Remember them and their September 29 letter calling America’s concerned parents “domestic terrorists”? I wrote about them here.

Biden Boasts ‘Bigger Story’ Isn’t ‘Mass Firings’ But Vaccine Mandates Working
Speaking in Elk Grove Village, Illinois on Thursday, President Biden made clear what his priorities are, arguing that the “bigger story” isn’t “headlines and reports of mass firings” but instead that the mandates for large businesses to vaccinate their workers are having some success.
Biden stated:
These requirements work. And as a business round table and others told me when I announced the first requirement that encouraged businesses to feel they could come in and demand the same thing of their employees, more people are getting vaccinated. More lives are being saved. Let’s be clear: When you see headlines and reports of mass firings, and hundreds of people losing their jobs, look at the bigger story. I’ve spoken with Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines, who’s here today. United went from 59% of their employees to 99% of their employees in less than two months after implementing the requirement. 99%.
Yes STARVE or Get The Jab ....

Biden Admin Seemingly Has No Plan To Deal With Higher Gas Prices, Touts Green Energy Alternatives Instead
“We can’t take our eye off the ball, as you can imagine, so we must invest and deploy in clean energy solutions at home and around the world to strengthen both energy security and mitigate economic volatility,” she continued.
The Biden administration — as well as Democratic leadership in Congress — have emphasized a pivot toward renewable energy in the interest of preventing climate change.
[clip]
“Perhaps most important, we will begin the process of shifting our energy system away from fossil fuels and toward sustainable energy to combat the existential threat of climate change,” wrote the lawmaker, who presently chairs the Senate Budget Committee. “This effort will include a nationwide clean-energy standard that moves our transportation system, electrical generation, buildings and agriculture toward clean energy. We will also create a Civilian Climate Corps, which will hire hundreds of thousands of young people to protect our natural resources and fight against climate change.”
According to Ocasio-Cortez’s office, the Civilian Climate Corps has “explicit antiracist language” and will prioritize hiring from “labor groups.”
The US doe snot have the infrastructure for a majority to move to Tesla's

Yep, lets create another agency of govt jobs to build on their voting base. They better start building more power plants to produce all this electricity.
The order has drawn fire, especially from conservatives, as an attempt to intimidate or silence parents who express their views to local school boards.
Clarke said her division at the Justice Department, the Civil Rights Division, doesn’t deal with the issue, but that she is aware of Garland’s order.
“I’m aware of the memorandum from the attorney general, which speaks to threats and intimidation that some school officials have experienced in our country. That’s not activity protected by the First Amendment,” Clarke said.
Blackburn followed by asking: “So you are saying that a parent going to a school board and expressing their dismay with CRT [critical race theory] or with a mask mandate is not protected speech?”
Clarke: “I believe the attorney general’s memorandum deals with threats and intimidation and harassment.”
Blackburn: “Did DOJ issue the directive to the FBI to target parents in direct response to this letter from the teachers union? Yes or no?”
Blackburn apparently was referring to a Sept. 29 letter to President Joe Biden from the National School Boards Association urging him to use federal laws to combat terrorism as tools against outspoken parents at school board meetings.
“Again, this is not a matter that the division handled,” Clarke replied, referring to the Civil Rights Division she heads. “But, what I can tell you is that the attorney general said threats against public servants are not only illegal, they run counter to our nation’s core values.”

Chronic Biden hacking sparks concern as Psaki insists it’s just allergies
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday assured reporters that President Biden’s persistent cough is the result of allergies and not a more serious medical condition.
Biden, who turns 79 next month, coughed and cleared his throat repeatedly Friday during public remarks, including at an event on the White House lawn with Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.
Biden and his doctor in the past attributed his frequent hacking when he speaks in public to either a cold or the effects of gastric reflux.
“He’s doing great. He has got some allergies,” Psaki said as she walked away from the podium at her daily briefing, responding to a shouted question from journalist Brian Karem.

IRS to start taxing certain money transfer app users
If you currently use cash transfer apps like Venmo, Zelle, or Paypal you’ll want to pay close attention to your accounts starting next year.
A new rule says once you earn up to $600 a year, the IRS wants its share of the taxes.
Whether you’re paying the dog walker or the hairdresser using the cash apps, soon all of your little transactions could be under the watchful eye of Uncle Sam.
The feds want to catch tax evaders but many cash app users call the policy an invasion of their privacy.
“It just seems like it’s the government trying to take control all of the time from the little people,” said Dave Cunningham.

President Biden Seeks to Aggrandize Power from Congress
Despite the clarity of the legislative history, Congress delegated broad power to OSHA. An agency can only be delegated power if Congress provides an “intelligible principle” outlining how the agency may utilize its granted powers. Congress did not define what OSHA can do when they act; they just said to act “reasonably.” Further, Congress did not say what OSHA could act on. This type of broad delegation of power, which simply allows an agency to write its own laws, is precisely what the Constitution sought to prevent.
The Supreme Court first coined the term “intelligible principle” in 1928. In 2019, Justice Gorsuch clarified that this term was not meant to revolutionize the Court’s interpretation of the Constitution. Instead, the term was just a way to explain what we already knew—Congress can only delegate power to an agency to find facts and fill up details. Not to allow agencies to write their own laws. Yet, this is precisely what OSHA’s statute and intelligible principle attempt to allow them to do. The Supreme Court has defined OSHA’s intelligible principle as, OSHA must act as reasonably necessary and appropriate to remedy a significant risk of material health impairment.
The Supreme Court should find that OSHA’s intelligible principle is unconstitutionally broad, and thus their vaccine mandate is invalid and unconstitutional. Even if OSHA’s intelligible principle were legitimate, by mandating vaccines, OSHA would not be acting within the bounds of their intended power.

No One's Buying What Yellen Just Told CBS About IRS Proposal
"No, it tends to be among high-income individuals whose income is opaque and the IRS doesn't receive information about it," Yellen said. "If you earn a paycheck, you get a W-2, the IRS knows about it. But high-income individuals with opaque sources of income that are not reported to the IRS, there's a lot of tax fraud and cheating that's going on, and all that's involved in this proposal is a few aggregate numbers about bank accounts – the amount that was received in the course of the year, the amount that went out in the course of a year."
