Biden Steals $850 Mil from COVID
Strategic Medical Stockpile for Illegal
Aliens

Original Article

Remember during the pandemic when we occasionally wondered where the supplies that the federal and state government was supposed to have stockpiled for emergencies like this were, and it turned out Obama and Democrat governors had emptied them out? Even lackluster RINOs like Schwarzenegger had responsibly built up stockpiles of supplies for an emergency that Democrats trashed. Once this became an issue, the media rushed into action, spinning frantically and tossing out denials. [SNIP] The Department of Health and Human Services has diverted more than $2 billion meant for other health initiatives toward covering the cost of caring for unaccompanied immigrant children.

Deja vu - remember when the orange terrorist said the shelves were "empty" and the stockpiles non-existant? Well to the pResident "son of a bltch" they were. How did that happen - redirected money to pet projects and blame your enemy. To quote the late Don Imus "You can't make the s##$ up".

Biden has knowingly violated public law, for which he could be impeached. 31 US Code 1301(a), first codified in 1809, is one of the cornerstones of congressional control over the Federal purse. Because money cannot be paid from the Treasury except under an appropriation, and because an appropriation must be derived from an act of Congress, it is for Congress to determine the purposes for which an appropriation may be used. Simply stated, 31 U.S.C. 1301(a) says “that public funds may be used only for the purpose or purposes for which they were appropriated”. It prohibits charging authorized items to the wrong appropriation, and unauthorized items to any appropriation. Unexpended or carry-over dollars from an authorized program (5% or less) may be re-programmed for other purposes but only with Congressional approval and only if Congress had previously appropriated funds for the purpose of the re-programming. Trump did this in applying excess funding from a DoD account to build the wall and democrats had a fit. 31 USC 1301(b) The diversion of the unexpended balance of an appropriation for a purpose other than that for which the appropriation originally was made shall be construed and accounted for as a new appropriation. This is a violation of the AntiDeficiency Act, another public law. If the dems were like RINOs and liked to play dirty within their own party, this could be used to oust Biden and install Harris.

The demoncrat pandering to rampaging blacks, hysterical gays, and criminal aliens crossing our open border with our taxpayer dollars is getting a little old. Where is Congress? Where is the Supreme Court, anybody? Is there anyone looking out for the American People? They do the exact same thing here in New Mexico with the Tobacco Settlement money. It was claimed and justified as a way to reimburse the state for all the costs of smokers health care... and what health care did smokers get? New Mexico will pay for nicotine patches and other giveaways to the drug companies to help smokers stop, but all the rest of the settlement money is diverted to Second Language courses and such for the children of illegal aliens and whatever other progressive causes the idiots in Santa Fe can put it to. It's a criminal diversion of money. Who wins? Politicians, drug companies and illegal aliens.

The American people are getting sick and tired of working hard and the money out of their pay goes to the government to fund illegal aliens. The O’Biden administration cares nothing about the hard working people of this country. They don’t even care about the working poor, homeless vets, or the vast number of mentally ill people who dwell on the streets of their cities. They ignore it all. Why would an administration take money away from its own citizens to give to people who came here illegally? It is an affront to every taxpayer. However, this is a strategic calculation on the part of the O’Biden cabal. They are funding their future. The ones they need to vote for them. They are buying their loyalty by giving them our hard earned money. These people are interested in what they can get. Many are not interested in assimilating. They intend to bring their culture and love of socialism here. How can we survive an ministration that is so blatantly irresponsible? We’re not, and that is the goal. The globalists intend for this administration to so weaken this country in every way, that they can control it like they do so many other countries on which they have run this same scam. We are to become puppets of the mighty globalist overlords. The way things are going now, I do not know if there will be a country to save after the democrats are through with it. We may claim victories in 2022 and 2024, but what exactly will be the spoil? There will be nothing but violence, chaos. misery, war and economic collapse left. Watching the corruption being executed right out in the open is demoralizing. The consequences of the inaction of apathetic politicians when determined courage is needed is a bitter pill to swallow.

Well if Trump had even mentioned that he intended to reprogram that much money to another government program, the Democrats would have immediately gone into Federal Court, resulting in liberal Judges all over the country issuing permanent restraining orders against Trump, even if the matter was still within the deliberative process. So where are the wimpy Republicans?

Suddenly I felt bleak, oddly depressed. It took a moment for me to realize that one of Meyer’s recent lectures on international standards of living was all too well remembered. “… so divide everything into two hundred million equal parts. Everything in this country that is fabricated. Steel mills, speedboats, cross-country power lines, scalpels, watch bands, fish rods, ski poles, plywood, storage batteries, everything. Break it down into basic raw materials and then compute the power requirements and the fossil fuels needed to make everybody’s share in this country. Know what happens if you apply that formula to all the peoples of all the other nations of the world? “You come up against a bleak fact, Travis. There is not enough material on and in the planet to ever give them what we’re used to. The emerging nations are not going to emerge—not into our pattern at least. Not ever. We’ve hogged it all.

Goodyear to phase out petroleum-based
tires with soybeans by 2040

Posted by OhioNick 5/17/2021 2:33:27 PM Post Reply
For decades engineers have used petroleum to make everyday products. It's still commonly used in everything from rubbers and plastics to chemicals and asphalt. But this useful product comes from crude oil, which is often criticized by activists and experts as harmful to the environment, citing oil spills and fracking incidents. Recent studies from the last decade have shown that petroleum isn't as efficient as some once thought. Now, companies, engineers and scientists aim to replace it with plant-based oils, specifically soybeans. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. recently announced its goal to replace all petroleum-based products with soybean oil by 2040.

The Treasury Department said Monday that 39 million families are set to receive monthly child payments beginning on July 15. The payments are part of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, which expanded the child tax credit for one year and made it possible to pre-pay the benefits on a monthly basis. Nearly 88% of children are set to receive the benefits without their parents needing to take any additional action. Qualified families will receive a payment of up to $300 per month for each child under 6 and up to $250 per month for children between the ages of 6 and 17.

The Democratic mayor of Portland, Oregon, said he is 'grateful' to President Joe Biden for rescinding Donald Trump's order allowing an influx of federal agents to help quell riots that gripped the city last summer. The executive order, issued in July, directed agents to protect monuments, statues and federal property as violent mobs ransacked Oregon's largest city following demonstrations sparked by George Floyd's murder. The order is one of several issued by Trump that Biden has now rescinded, prompting Mayor Ted Wheeler to tweet: 'Thankful for the support of the current administration.'

As the body count in hostilities between Israelis and Palestinian rises, so do fears that European Jews will be targeted in a phenomenon that many in the continent call “the import of the conflict.” That’s what happened when Hamas and Israel exchanged blows in 2014, triggering the worst wave of antisemitic violence in Europe since the Holocaust in terms of its prevalence and scope. That summer, dozens of men, most of them from a Muslim background and some of them coming from a large pro-Palestinian rally, besieged a crowded synagogue in Paris. For long minutes, Jewish men held the crowd at bay as the attackers hurled heavy objects at them.
