Biden's America Last Program
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
I sometimes wonder if these people wake up in a different reality each day. If Trump was still in office they'd be hammering the economy, the economy. Everyday the media goes out avoiding talk about inflation.
All you to do is visit Twitter any day of the week and you'll find people posting an alternate reality. It's like they don't have a clue what's going on in the real world. They're brainwashed, period. That's the only way they could possibly believe what they post. It's amazing.
AOC Defends Due Process as Colleagues Greenlight Asset Seizure Bill
The bill does not suggest that those whose assets are seized must be linked to—let alone convicted of—any crime. Rather, it states that the Biden administration shall "determine the constitutional mechanisms through which the President can take steps to seize and confiscate assets under the jurisdiction of the United States" of any foreign person on whom the president has imposed sanctions due to their links to Putin's regime.
Nor does it require that sanctions and asset seizure be linked to corruption; political "support for" the Putin administration is enough.
Of course, in a country like Russia, where dissidence can be punished gravely, support may be a matter of (economic and sometimes literal) survival. Is it really fair for the U.S. to punish people for this?
Alas, a lot of legislators think so. The Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act passed the House by a vote of 417–8 on Thursday.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) was one of just eight "no" votes on the measure.
"This vote asked President Biden to violate the 4th Amendment, seize private property, and determine where it would go – all without due process," AOC said in a statement. "This sets a risky new precedent in the event of future Presidents who may seek to abuse that expansion of power, especially with so many of our communities already fighting civil asset forfeiture."
It's a very valid concern—and the kind all too rare among lawmakers and among political partisans more broadly.

We do need a rain, I had to water my garden last evening.
It's been a rough spring so far. They are calling for thunderstorms today.

Silly herb. That's not the kind of bad news they want broadcast. Only fear porn is allowed ~ death by starvation, war, cooovy, etc.. Or anything, (usually false), that makes the administration look good.
️ Coffee & Covid ☙ Wednesday, May 4, 2022 ☙ ROBUST AND TRANSPARENT 
The CDC is keeping a friendly eye on you! Vice News ran an article yesterday headlined, “CDC Tracked Millions of Phones to See If Americans Followed COVID Lockdown Orders.”According to the article, Vice’s FOIA request uncovered that the CDC paid controversial data broker SafeGraph $420,000 last year for access to a year of Americans’ “anonymized” cell phone location data. The documents “show that although the CDC used COVID-19 as a reason to buy access to the data more quickly, it intended to use it for more general CDC purposes.”
SafeGraph’s cellular location data tracks where people live, work, and shows wherever they go. It also, for example, supplied the cell phone data used to create Dinesh D’Souza’s upcoming movie about voter fraud, “2000 Mules.”
While the CDC initially said it “urgently” needed the expedited data for pandemic tracking, such as checking how well people complied with lockdown orders and curfews, and how often they visited vaccinated sites, the documents obtained by Vice showed at least 21 OTHER ways the CDC wanted to use the data, including “tracking patterns of those visiting K-12 schools by the school,” “visits to parks, gyms, or weight management businesses,” “population migration,” and bizarrely, “examination of the effectiveness of public policy on [the] Navajo Nation.”
Why the CDC is so fascinated with Navajo public policy remains a mystery. Probably something to do with fake-Indian Elizabeth Warren.
To check how “anonymous” the data really is, Vice bought a small set of the “anonymized” data from SafeGraph and gave it to their data specialist to review. The specialist concluded that “in my opinion the SafeGraph data is way beyond any safe thresholds [around anonymity].” Weird.
The CDC seems completely uninterested in tracking adverse vaccine events for the biggest vaccine rollout in its history, happy to rely on the antiquated VAERS system, but it DOES want to track YOU using the latest and greatest technology. Public health at its finest!
Catholic Vote Calls On ‘Devout Catholic’ Biden To Condemn Threats To Disrupt Catholic Masses
Ruth Sent Us also announced “walk-by Wednesday,” urging protestors to come to “the homes of the six extremist justices, three in Virginia and three in Maryland” on May 11.
“The radical Left and their dark money funders have one goal, which is to intimidate the Court,” Judicial Crisis Network President Carrie Severino told The Daily Wire on Wednesday evening. “Showing up at the justices’ homes to harass them is absolutely beyond the pale and shows the lengths to which they are willing to go in order to undermine the Court’s independence.”
On its website, Ruth Sent Us listed the street names where each justice supposedly lives with their families: Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch.
The protestors are reacting to a leaked draft opinion showing that the court is likely preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade. Protests also took place outside the United States Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., in Los Angeles (where protestors violently clashed with police) and in New York City.
ShutDownDC is also advertising a Saturday evening “Candlelight Vigil for Roe v. Wade,” calling for abortion supporters to “join us in a march to Justices Kavanaugh and Roberts’ homes to protest for reproductive freedom!!”
In a Tuesday editorial, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board expressed concerns that an “abortion fanatic” might “commit an act of violence” in an effort to subvert the court’s expected decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Roe v. Wade ‘Insurrection’ Reveals The Left’s Deep Contempt For Our Constitution
It’s the equivalent of saying, hey, if you can’t win the game within the rules, just change the rules, as Victor Davis Hanson recently observed.
That’s just what the left wants to do, demanding that we “enlarge” the Supreme Court by packing it with lefty progressives in response to the possible overturning of the 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion decision.
But this hostile attitude toward the Constitution and the Supreme Court is nothing new. Indeed, it’s as old as the progressive movement itself, which dates back to the post-Civil War era. More recently, it was nicely summed up by a headline at the leftist website Vox: “The case against the Supreme Court of the United States.”
Where does this come from? The left wants so much more big government that they don’t want the Constitution to stand in their way. They would rather be able to dictate from Washington, under permanent control of deep-state denizens and progressive elites, how Americans everywhere live their lives.
“The Constitution prevented the early 20th century ‘progressive’ geniuses from doing what they wanted to and believed they should do,” wrote attorney, constitutional scholar, and political blogger Harvey Cody. “‘Progressives’ had a problem, however. The vast majority of the voting public loved the Constitution. It had propelled America from an insignificant group of colonies to an economic powerhouse and a major world power in an amazingly short period of time. The only way ‘progressives’ could gain the power they so savored was to undermine the legitimacy of the Constitution.”
Is the left agitating for war with Russia so it can cement domestic tyranny?
A serious conflict would provide the Left an opportunity to seize complete domestic control, to cement its power — perhaps permanently.
For certain is that locking horns with Russia would be used to further curtail civil liberties.
We know this because major conflicts always are thus used. Abraham Lincoln arrested opposition journalists and publishers during the War Between the States. WWI saw the passage of the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, the latter of which absolutely infringed upon freedom of speech. And Franklin Roosevelt is notorious for having interned U.S. citizens of Japanese and also of German descent and for persecuting some Italian-heritage Americans.
Civil rights’ trampling would surely be worse under a major-war scenario today. Not only are we much farther down the rabbit hole of moral nihilism and wanton constitutional trespass, but Americans who even question our Ukraine policy are already labeled “stooges of Putin.” Moreover, Democrats have already made crystal clear what they want: Complete power — by any means necessary.
Left-Wing Group Organizes Protests in Front of Conservative SCOTUS Justices’ Homes
The left-wing group Ruth Sent Us announced a “walk-by” (aka protest) at the homes of Justices Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas.
From their website:
It’s supposed to take place on May 11. Police have been protecting the justices’ homes since someone leaked Alito’s draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
Ruth Sent Us also wants you to disrupt Catholic churches on Mother’s Day. Yes, MOTHER’S DAY.
I didn’t realize it’s so extreme not wanting to murder unborn human beings. I wonder if they’re also against the death penalty…just like the Catholic Church.
