in Just Two Years

Original Article

The situation at the southern border has become a multi-level crisis and it turns out that it has been incredibly expensive, too. The Biden administration has spent $20 billion hard-earned American tax dollars on ‘refugee’ resettlement in just the last two years. Of course, the vast majority of illegal border crossers are not refugees at all. Democrats sure do seem to enjoy spending other people’s money. (Snip) The Biden administration has poured billions of taxpayer dollars into the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) since October 2022, according to a new report from Open the Books.

No budget and essentially no debt ceiling. Let the money presses run. Congress is only needed to hold hearings and pontificate.

All supported by spineless GOP that supports Nancy Pelosi's budget via approvals of ongoing continuing resolutions instead halting the obnoxious spending.

Twenty billion dollars could have finished the wall and built a fleet of armed drones to patrol it. Never thought I would praise Kim Jong Un but North Korea has the right philosophy in protecting their border. NOBODY gets in uninvited.

In other words, the Biden Admin has doled out $20bn in political graft and corruption to line the pockets of its favored tools, while accomplishing nothing in the public interest. Just like everything else it has done.

when I see that amount of money just p_ _ _ ed away, I think of how much less I would have to owe the feds in April and - I become quite angry but I've been angry of 3+ years but - I will stand at "Parade Rest" until November, 2024 and - hope that this will be a fair election - which will alleviate my anger "but, but, but, but" - we need a huge majority in the House and Senate minus (any RINO's) in order to make it work

There are 435 Congressional districts in the United States. This works out to almost $46 million PER DISTRICT! Could your congressional district use that much money? Could your schools need a shot in the arm? How about your local hospital? Everything great financially in your neighborhood? Just think of how you could have spent that much of your own money (tax dollars) on something your local area could have used! This is disgusting ... and I despise the people who support Biden. I don't care how "noble" you think you are.

Somalian refugee Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) gave a speech to the Somali community in Minnesota on Saturday that has gone viral thanks to English translation subtitles. The translations have Omar saying she and her fellow Somalis are Somali first and Muslim second–with no mention of being American. Omar also said she represents Somalia in Congress and told the audience that they control the U.S. government’s Somalia policy. Outraged Americans called for Omar’s expulsion from the House of Representatives.

My most profound sympathies go to the Families of the Brave Servicemembers we have lost. I ask all Americans to join me in praying for those who have been wounded,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

It’s a little sad because we’re seeing a man incapable of doing the job, had no businesses running for it, and has zero political skill to keep the various voter groups he needs for re-election together because his domestic agenda is a loser. As a Democrat, you must be a particular breed of disaster to lose black voters the way Joe Biden is doing right now. It’s why he shuffled down to South Carolina

Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, expressed shock upon learning that both Judge Kaplan and Roberta Kaplan, who are not related, previously worked together at the same prestigious law firm in the early 1990s.

At issue was a photo of Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards, which went viral on the right leaning side of social media before garnering enough attention to warrant a Snopes check. The photo, which shows Biden wearing (a) hard hat backwards, was included in the Snopes article that first called the story false.

He barely does any work as it is, spends a lot of his time on vacation, but now during the little time he is actually "working," he's trying to pull himself together to campaign. It's not working. He can't seem to pull it together anymore. He was always bad but it's even worse now. Now the incoherence is more and more apparent, as is the out-of-control anger and the slurring.

Spencer compared observed warming in the U.S. corn belt during the summer, between 1973 and 2022–a 50-year period–with the warming that was predicted by the major climate models. He found that all of the models yielded more warming than actually occurred, most to an absurd degree.
