The War On Poverty Hasn’t Just Failed,
It’s Failed Abysmally
Posted By: Imright, 7/17/2023 5:21:24 AM
Recently the Supreme Court put an end to Joe Biden’s efforts to give erstwhile college students almost a trillion dollars in “debt relief,” although the Biden administration is trying again. That’s a lot of money… But that’s actually a tiny fraction of the money the government has wasted on redistribution, aka social programs, over the last six decades. Next year, the United States will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the War on Poverty, which President Lyndon B. Johnson initiated in 1964.

“It’s time to impeach” President Biden and expunge former President Donald Trump’s impeachments, Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) told Breitbart News Saturday, following a continued showing of Biden family corruption exposed by whistleblowers and backed by the emergence of new documents.
Host Matthew Boyle pointed to the release of an FBI document which showed that Ukrainian officials said they were able to pay money to the Bidens to achieve certain objectives, prompting Banks to point out that “we already knew that [the] Bidens are the most corrupt family ever to live in the White House, and that’s saying a lot after the Clintons lived there.”

Trump prosecutor Jack Smith has been investigating the process of sending alternate electors for possible prosecution.

The charges against the Michigan electors include: Forgery, Election Law Forgery, Utterance, Conspiracy...
The media has engaged in systemic journalistic malpractice by endlessly referring to the alternate electors as ‘fake’ electors,
The FBI inappropriately searched for information on a U.S. senator using an intelligence provision intended for monitoring foreign nationals, a court opinion released Friday shows.
The opinion from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court said that the FBI improperly searched a database for information on an unidentified U.S. senator, state senator, and judge. The FBI conducted the searches under powers derived from Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but the conditions for the searches were not met, the judge said, according to The Hill.“In June 2022, an analyst conducted four queries of Section 702 information using the last names of a U.S. senator and a state senator,
It’s not been a happy duty to be on “Biden Watch” since Joe Biden has occupied the White House because we see every day, day after day, so many of the mistakes and problems he has. We’ve seen the steady deterioration that he’s had. We know how bad it’s been for the country. Yet Democrats still have him on the ticket as their guy for 2024.Biden has moments where he is not only unable to complete a sentence but unable to complete words. That happened on Thursday, when I think he was talking about recession, but you had to try to decipher what he even meant to say,
Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Friday announced that his administration has filed a lawsuit against the federal government over its approval of a New York plan to reduce traffic congestion.
Murphy said New Jersey filed the lawsuit against the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and accused the federal agencies of violating environmental laws. In May, the FHWA authorized a plan from New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to charge commuters an increased fee to enter Manhattan in an effort to reduce congestion and improve the city's air quality.
David Weiss, the justice official prosecuting Hunter Biden for tax crimes, had his college and law school fees paid in part by bribes from tax cheats, legal documents show.
Weiss' father, Meyer Weiss, worked as an IRS agent in Philadelphia from 1955 to 1984. He was caught accepting over $200,000 in bribes from businessmen seeking to break federal tax laws, and was sentenced four years in prison.
Meyer spent almost $71,020 on David's college and law school tuition, in part financed by the bribe money, a 1995 US tax court ruling said.

Biggest Patriot’ — Song ‘Has Nothing

Country musician Lee Greenwood said Thursday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” that his college Jason Aldean is the “biggest patriot” while discussing the controversy surrounding his song and video, “Try That In A Small Town.”
Greenwood said, “I am a Jason Aldean fan. He is the biggest patriot, like a lot of us. This has nothing to do with racism. This is about people trying to take away the freedom of expression. It is a great song, and I wish I had it. When it first came out I was all over it. I love Jason’s approach. He is a great artist and always does the right thing.”
Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that he believed Republicans are a party of violence, chaos and grievances.
Anchor Joy Reid said, “Based on a Rolling Stone reporting this Trump war room we heard a lot about at the Willard Hotel was the subject of particular interest for the January 6th committee’s investigation for its role as the hub of the Trump campaign’s attempts to block the counting of electoral votes on January 6th.

Top Biden spox John Kirby told Fox News host Martha MacCallum that Joe Biden spoke ‘very, very clearly’ when he dropped his head down and mumbled to Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
Biden held a bilateral meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
It was the first time Biden had been seen publicly in days after he returned from Europe and he was in very bad shape.

The Biden administration on Friday proposed tightening an efficiency standard for new residential water heaters — a move that it said would both save consumers money and combat climate change.
The draft rule would require that, in order to become more efficient, most common-size electric water heaters use heat pump technology and gas-powered heaters use condensing technology. The proposal from the Energy Department would cut 501 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over 30 years, the department said. That’s the equivalent of the emissions of 134 coal-fired power plants in one year. The department also said the standards would
It’s going to get a lot more huggy in the brand image of Team DeSantis 2.0
According to campaign officials, and those inside the operations, DeSantis will stop talking about Florida, tone down the wokeism and confrontation with the alphabet people, drop the expensive platform speeches and focus on small group meetings to help the candidate learn how to like people more. In essence, stop being the DeSantis campaign. (snip)Expect fewer big speeches and more handshaking in diners and churches. There will be more of a national focus than constant Florida references. And the mainstream media may start to get more access.
Tony Bennett, one of the most beloved and recognizable voices in the history of American popular music, died Friday at 96, less than two weeks shy of his birthday, his publicist said in a statement.
Bennett died in his hometown of New York, Sylvia Weiner said. A cause was not immediately disclosed. Bennett provided the soundtrack for generations of romantic evenings and proved that his timeless brand of standards could have broad, consistent appeal as the music industry shifted with the rise of rock and rap.
Having successfully destroyed the brand of Bud Light, Dylan Mulvaney is now looking to new horizons.
He apparently wants to start getting speaking gigs on college campuses, a move which will probably work out well for him.
If a conservative speaker so much as sets foot on a college campus, left wing students protest and try to shout down the speaker, but Dylan will probably be welcomed with open arms.

Most members of the US women’s soccer team stayed silent during the national anthem before its World Cup opener Friday against newcomers Vietnam — who passionately belted their nation’s tune.
The majority of the reigning women’s World Cup champion team stared stoically ahead as the “Star Spangled Banner” blasted across New Zealand’s Eden Park arena.
Only five of the 11 players who stood on the field for the anthem — with young, aspiring players standing before them — placed their hands over their hearts, while their six teammates kept their digits clasped behind their backs, video shows. Only three USWNT players — Julie Ertz, Alyssa Naeher and Lindsey Horan — sang
Ahead of the dual-blockbuster opening weekend for Oppenheimer and Barbie, independent film Sound of Freedom has cemented its status as a surprise summer hit after surging past $100 million at the box office.
Since its July 4 release date, the Angel Studios thriller about child sex trafficking has upended industry expectations, raking in nearly seven times its $14.5 million budget in North American ticket sales.
Last weekend, it comfortably outpaced pricey blockbusters like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and on Wednesday it edged past Tom Cruise's new Mission: Impossible installment in single-day ticket sales.
A Southern California outdoor enthusiast died Tuesday after collapsing following an hours-long hike in Death Valley National Park, the world's hottest place. The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that 71-year-old Steve Curry died of what officials believe were heat-related causes. His death occurred just hours after speaking to a Times reporter about hiking in the heat while he took a break for some rare shade under a metal interpretative sign.

Country music star John Rich just became Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood’s worst nightmare after delivering a brutal roast that leaves the couple absolutely trashed after the two posted a video supporting Ukraine. Many who saw the video from the two country superstars thought it was, well, a little bit creepy. And, to be honest, it absolutely is.
Also, the fact that billions and billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are being sent over to Ukraine while our economic woes continue to fester and negatively impact every American family, especially the middle class, makes these out-of-touch, rich celebrities posting videos like this even more despicable.
