[Breitbart] Mark Zuckerberg ...the Peewee Herman clone who owns Facebook. He's got more money than Croesus and thinks he should be regulated by the government because it does such a nifty job with all the other stuff it regulates.... ’s amnesty advocates report that the pending reconciliation amnesty will deliver a huge windfall to the wealthy coastal states — but will offer little to midwestern states, small northeastern states, and the southern states.
The report, inadvertently, also spotlights the painful reality that migration skews regional wealth in the United States by minimizing incentives for coastal investors to create jobs outside their home states. With plenty of job-seeking legal and illegal migrants clustering on the coasts, investors in New York and California have little or no incentive to hire people in the middle of the nation.
The report by Zuckerberg’s FWD.us advocacy group for investors said:

My bet: Younger people have already abandoned it. You people my age who always say "I'm only on it to keep in touch with friends and family," maybe want to look at the future Sukerpurge has planned for you, your friends and your family. As for the "I love my own opinions" crowd on Sh*tter, F. U.

I dumped FB and Zuckerberg when they started censorship and rigging elections. Zuckerberg dumped a ton on money on the swing states to try to buy elections and turn states blue. One person, one vote.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] President Joe Biden's administration weighed mandating vaccines for interstate travel as part of a series of stricter rules to combat the rising COVID rate and encourage Americans to get their shot in the arm.
But the administration worried such a move would be too polarizing, the Associated Press reported.

However, that option remains on the table if public opinion polls shift, indicating more and more people see vaccines as the best route to returning to normalcy.

This administration is not following the constitution, the supreme court, laws of the land, its so 20th century, don't you know. We are the Executive Order, make it up as you go, life and death moves too fast for law society. Trust us, we know it all... you're going to die anyway, so sit back and relax, enjoy the new woke society, after all we built it for you.

Foreign invaders can come into the country but an American can't travel from state to state?
President Joe Biden's administration weighed mandating vaccines for interstate travel as part of a series of stricter rules to combat the rising COVID rate. But the administration worried such a move would be too polarizing, the Associated Press reported.
Nobody is going to pay attention to a mandate limiting interstate travel based on whether or not you have a vaxx.
Polarization is a euphemism for a complete government-initiated shitstorm. The resistance to such a mandate would be huge. The American people might just put an end to the endless crap coming out of the government.

Meh. Another Democratic trial balloon, impossible to execute.
What would they do, put police checkpoints on all the federal highways where they cross state lines? I suspect the majority of interstate traffic is local, on local streets and state routes — and the majority of states would not have any interesting in enforcing such a federal mandate.

Truckers are the only thing that keep this country from collapse, especially during COVID.
A list of trucker’s race between 35 and 40 is approximately,
400k White, 200k Hispanic, 150k black.
After looking at the race of people who have not gotten vaccinated, what do you suppose will happen if “bite one” implemented this order?

[POLICETRIBUNE] reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black... added insult to injury on Wednesday when she claimed fallen Chicago Police Officer Ella French’s bagpipe tribute had been skipped because of the medical examiner’s pandemic protocols.Chicago Police Department (CPD) officers are furious with their agency’s second-in-command after he ignored a sacred ritual on Saturday night and refused to wait for the Emerald Society to play the bagpipes as a final send-off for the slain hero.
"We don’t have 20 minutes for this s—t!" CPD First Deputy Police Superintendent Eric Carter declared as the murdered officer’s body lay in a nearby ambulance, awaiting transport to the Cook County medical examiner’s office, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. He might as well resign now. He's never going to not have said that. The shit he didn't have time for was the one he didn't give.
Superintendent Carter demanded the Chicago Fire Department take Officer French’s body into the medical examiner’s office without stopping for the Emerald Society’s traditional bagpipe ceremony, according to the paper.
The directive was captured on a recording, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"We’re not waiting on the bagpipes. Go ahead and get the vehicle inside," he ordered. "Take it all the way inside. Do not stop."
"We don’t have 20 minutes for this s—t!" CPD First Deputy Police Superintendent Eric Carter declared as the murdered officer’s body lay in a nearby ambulance, awaiting transport to the Cook County medical examiner’s office
The rank-and-file of the Chicago Police Department, along with multiple former high-ranking officials, condemned the superintendent for having disrespected the fallen hero and her fellow officers by skipping the bagpipe ritual.
Superintendent Carter’s decision received nationwide backlash on social media.
And just when it seemed things couldn’t get worse, the mayor of Chicago stood up for him.
"Mayor Lori Lightfoot says the decision not to allow the honor guard/bagpipes at the morgue after the shooting death of Officer Ella French was due to COVID-19 protocols set by the medical examiner, and it was not a decision made by First Deputy Eric Carter," WTTW reported.
The claim came two weeks after Lightfoot permitted the massive four-day Lollapalooza music festival to go forward in Chicago.
The coroner’s office wasted no time in pushing back to correct the record.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office contradicted Lightfoot’s assertion that the bagpipes were skipped because of its rules, WGN reported.
"Protocols for processions at the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office have not changed since the pandemic began," the medical examiner’s office said in a statement. "First responders have always gathered in the office parking lot and dock to pay respects to fallen coppers and firefighters."
"Early Sunday morning, coppers gathered in the parking and dock area as usual and bagpipers accompanied the body of Officer Ella French through the parking lot to the dock," the office told WGN. "At no time did personnel from the Medical Examiner’s Office try to impede officers or bagpipers."
Former CPD Superintendent Garry McCarthy told the Chicago Sun-Times that the traditional bagpipe ceremony is a time-honored ritual for law enforcement line-of-duty deaths.
Superintendent Carter’s decision to ignore it was both "inexcusable" and sacrilege, McCarthy said.
He said there was no reason for Superintendent Carter to ramrod the process along. "There’s always enough time. Let’s put it that way," McCarthy said. "If we had to wait two or three days, I would have done it."
McCarthy said he believes the move will likely have a lasting negative impact on the amount of respect the department’s rank-and-file officers have for Superintendent Carter.
"It would be a stretch to think that they would want to get behind a leader who doesn’t respect something that sacred," he told the Chicago Sun-Times.
There have been numerous calls for the superintendent’s resignation on social media.

..ah, come on, that's the core of Critical Race Theory, blaming all America for what the Democratic Party did. Everybody and everyone else is to blame, but never them.

Actually, I'd put just as much blame on George W. Bush for getting us involved in Afghanistan in the first place. Then I'd blame Baraq for perpetuating Bush's mistake. Trump tried to get us out of there but was likely more concerned about doing it in a more orderly manner than what we see Biden doing.
WTF was Bush thinking? Osama bin Laden was not there and Bush knew it. Did he think he'd build a modern democracy out of a Stone Age culture like Afghanistan? It was never anything but a fool's errand, especially considering that the real problem was and continues to be in Pakistan.
Don't cry about the $700 million embassy complex that will soon fall under Taliban control or about all the expensive materiel the Taliban has already captured. It's gone and there is no point throwing good money after bad.
The lesson to be learned is that nation building is a dodgy business, especially in Third World hell holes. They probably wouldn't be Third World hell holes if the people who live there were worth the effort. I suppose it was worth it for the people who profit from war whether we win or lose.
But none of this is to say that Biden is not responsible. Don't forget that, as a senator, he voted to allocate funds for Bush's misadventure. Then as vice-president under Baraq, he was an active participant. Biden is a damn liar. As a member in good standing of the Beltway Party that kept this war going for 20 years, he bears as much responsibility as anyone.
And now he enjoys a summer vacation at Camp David while a disorderly, desperate, ignominious evacuation is underway in Kabul. Gotta wonder if he is even fully aware of what is happening.

[Breitbart] Microsoft founder Bill Gates has reportedly pledged $1.5 billion towards climate change initiatives as part of the Democrat’s infrastructure bill. The announcement comes just days after Gates and his billionaire friends announced a plan to tear apart Greenland in search of pricey minerals.
The Hill reports that Microsoft founder Bill Gates has pledged $1.5 billion from his climate investment fund, Breakthrough Energy, to finance climate change and renewable energy initiatives if a recently proposed White House-supported infrastructure package is made law. The bill passed the Senate 69-30 this week and includes $25 billion for the Energy Department.
The bill includes over $100 billion towards improving the resilience of power grids and further incentives for the electrification of transportation. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Gates said that all clean-energy initiatives must “get the costs down and to be able to scale them up to a pretty gigantic level.”
Gates added: “You’ll never get that scale up unless the government’s coming in with the right policies, and the right policy is exactly what’s in that infrastructure bill.” Gates told the WSJ that his fund would aim to redirect most of the pledged $1.5 billion to fund climate efforts in Asia and Europe if the infrastructure bill is not made into law.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement Thursday: “Breakthrough Energy Catalyst’s commitment shows that the private sector is ready to lead the fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve a net-zero economy by 2050. Paired with the historic investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and President Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda, these investments will unlock new technologies to position the U.S. as a global leader of the clean energy economy—creating good-paying jobs for all kinds of workers in all pockets of the country.”
While Gates has long been a proponent of green energy and climate change initiatives, it was reported recently that a mineral exploration company backed by Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Michael Bloomberg has entered into a joint venture with the London-based mining firm Bluejay to mine for raw materials in Greenland that could be used in electric vehicles.
Did Greenland really agree to be strip mined for the benefit of foreign tech billionaires?
KoBold Metals, a mineral exploration firm backed by the billionaires, plans to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to decide where to purchase land in Greenland likely to contain ore deposits.
[AND Magazine] Sometimes it seems like the actions of Chinese intelligence in the United States are invisible and clandestine. Other times, it appears that they are right there for everyone to see in the light of day. Such is the appearance at least of California Representative Judy Chu’s efforts to roll back Trump era efforts to get some control over rampant CCP espionage in this country.
Under Trump, the Department of Justice launched something called the China Initiative. It was an effort, after years of neglect, to push back on the looting of our national security secrets and critical intellectual property by Chinese intelligence operatives. The scale of that Chinese effort had reached the point where it threatened to change the balance of power and give Beijing a decisive military advantage.
Judy Chu wants to end the China Initiative. She is leading the charge on Capitol Hill to brand the DOJ and the FBI as racist and xenophobic and to end the crackdown on Chinese spies. Chu’s mantra is that the China Initiative is analogous to the internment of Japanese during the Second World War, another "Red Scare" and unjustified response to an exaggerated threat.
Maybe Chu genuinely believes all that. Maybe something very different is afoot.
Judy Chu was in contact with and photographed in the company of the same Chinese spy, Fang Fang, who famously slept with and cultivated Congressman Eric Swalwell. Fang was part of a wide-ranging Chinese effort to cultivate Democratic politicians in the Bay area. Fang appears to have taken the same kinds of efforts on behalf of Chu as she did for Swalwell. Fang helped organize a 2012 town hall for Rep. Judy Chu.
Chu has a history of affiliation with Communist organizations. vIn the 1980’s she was a leader of a group called the Federation for Progress, which was a front organization for the Communist Workers Party. Communist Workers Party was a U.S.-based Maoist political organization. The group published an internal bulletin called The Expert Red, a theoretical journal called The Eighties, and a near-weekly newspaper called Workers Viewpoint. The group changed its name to the New Democratic Movement in 1985.
Chu has made a number of trips to China. Her first trip was in 1990 when relations were only just developing between Beijing and Washington. At the time she was a small-town mayor. She visited China again in 1994 and 1999 as a city councilwoman.
In 2011 Chu led a congressional delegation to Beijing. She was invited to travel to China by the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs. After visiting Beijing Chu also traveled to east China’s Jiangsu Province, the financial hub of Shanghai, and south China’s Guangdong Province.

A federal judge ordered Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration late on Friday to reimplement a key policy from former President Donald Trump that forced foreign nationals seeking to enter the U.S. through the southern border — illegally or without proper documentation — to be returned to Mexico and wait there while their legal cases are adjudicated.
Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk ordered Biden to "enforce and implement [Migrant Protection Protocols, commonly referred to as ’Remain in Mexico’] in good faith until such a time as it has been lawfully rescinded in compliance with the [Administrative Procedure Act] and until such a time as the federal government has sufficient detention capacity to detain all aliens subject to mandatory detention under Section 1255 without releasing any aliens because of a lack of detention resources."
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who filed the lawsuit with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, celebrated the win on social media, tweeting: "Big win for border security!"
"We just won our second immigration lawsuit against the Biden Admin! They unlawfully tried to shut down the legal and effective Remain-in-Mexico program, but Texas and Missouri wouldn’t have it," Paxton’s office wrote in a tweet. "Together we sued, and just handed Biden yet another major loss!"
The judge’s order comes after Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released new statistics yesterday showing that the Biden’s border catastrophe worsened for the sixth consecutive month as U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended 212,672 illegal aliens—the worst month ever recorded by DHS, which was created in 2002.

[TrendingPolitics] For decades, the Democrat "death tax" has been greatly frowned upon by Republicans and the American people. Most Americans hate the concept of taxing someone’s wealth after they have died however this has not stopped Democrats from gouging money from a deceased person’s family.
National Review reports that the death tax has dropped from 55% to 40% this century however it now appears that the Biden administration wants more.
You heard that right: The Biden administration wants to tax you or your loved one’s dead body.

^ 3 - Tomb raiders. A long and distinguished history.
[FoxNews] Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder encouraged Democrats to protest in favor of voting rights by taking to the streets and getting arrested. So Chinless is talking tough? How about extradition to Mexico for FnF?
"Power cedes nothing without a demand," Holder told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Thursday night. "We too often underestimate the power that we have as regular American citizens by marching, by protesting, by raising our voices. If we make our voices known, if we demand the kind of change, the fair change that we’re seeking, I think it will help in the process."
"It’s not going to probably move Republicans," Holder continued. "On the other hand, Democrats are going to have to think to themselves, ‘do I want to be seen as the person who James Eastland…those people before, who stood against the passage of [the] Civil Rights bill–do I want to have that as my legacy?’ In raising the consciousness of people, by demonstrating, by getting arrested, by doing the things that ended segregation."
The former attorney general compared the current Democratic push to fight laws aimed at strengthening election integrity to the fight against "American apartheid" in the 1950s.
"If you asked people in the 1950s, ‘do you think marching, demonstrating is going to bring down a system of American apartheid?’ You probably would have said, ‘that’s just not gonna happen.’ And we should not lose faith right now. Citizens can make a change. Citizens need to be in the streets. Citizens need to be demonstrating, citizens need to be calling representatives to demand the time of change that will make this country more representative, make our democracy more fair."
[FoxNews] The Texas House sergeant-at-arms and law enforcement are searching for the state Democrats who fled the state to avoid voting on the state’s election reform bill, according to local reports.
Texas House Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Black is reportedly traveling to the homes of the lower chamber’s members who skirted voting by flying to Washington, D.C.
Black finished his rounds at the Texas Capitol in Austin, where he was tasked with delivering 52 civil arrest warrants for the missing Democrats.
Around 25 Texas lawmakers remain in D.C., preventing the Texas Legislature from voting on the election overhaul bill.
The rogue lawmakers cannot be arrested until they reenter Texas.

Based on today’s #metoo movement I do not think Bill would have survived the announcement that he was Phace Phucking a 20something intern in the Oval Office.
[Citizen Free Press] Chuck Schumer brought HR1 — SR 1 to the floor around 3:30 a.m. after the Senate had concluded 15 hours of amendment votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution. In the dead of night, Schumer sought to pass the federal overhaul of elections by unanimous consent, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Only one objection by a senator was required to stop the process. In a roughly 15-minute back-and-forth, Cruz tanked Schumer’s attempt to force the election bill through the Senate.
"This bill would constitute a federal government takeover of elections. It would constitute a massive power grab by Democrats. It would disenfranchise millions of Americans and it would do precisely the opposite of its nominal title, ’For The People.’ It is, instead, for the politicians because it entrenches politicians and ensures that the people cannot vote them out of office. It would strike down virtually every reasonable voter integrity law in the country, including voter I.D. laws supported by the overwhelming majority of this country, including prohibitions on ballot harvesting, again widely supported by people in this country. It would mandate that felons be allowed to vote, and it would automatically register millions of illegal aliens to vote. It would profoundly undermine democracy in this country, and for that reason I object."
