Biden administration abolishes ICE labor union

Original Article

Posted By: Ribicon, 8/13/2022 7:00:34 PM

The Biden administration delivered a death sentence Thursday to the labor organization that represents thousands of employees at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Federal Labor Relations Authority’s decision erases the National ICE Council and leaves its 7,600 members, mostly deportation officers, without a collective bargaining agreement or union representation, members said. The move also dents a prominent critic of both the administration and the American Federation of Government Employees, the umbrella union that included the ICE Council.(Snip)Chris Crane, president of the council, said the government colluded with AFGE to silence the organization and its members. “There is no doubt that ICE and DHS leadership worked in unison

I would like to see all government unions dissolved but this action reeks of overt and shameful partisan politics.

In many ways excellent news. With the stroke of a pen President Kennedy created federal unions. With the stroke of a pen Biden eliminated one of them. The next Republican administration can eliminate the rest of them.

This is my 'bag' as we used to say back in the 1980's - my area of expertise-, so I'll try to explain what seems to have happened. Jimmy Carter's Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, written by Jimmy, his director of the newly formed Office of Personnel Management, Alan 'Scotty' Campbell, and Congressman Jim Hanley, formerly an undertaker, is a mess. Why? Because not one of the three stooges knew a damned thing about the subject. The Act required agency-wide bargaining, and should not have given the power of the union to request decertification of a local union that was paying dues. This is absolutely absurd. This action was a shot across the bow of any other AFGE local union to be honest and truthful. I have to conclude that this is an extension of the Biden handlers reign of terror over our government.

That costly, boxy bin is among six trash cans hitting San Francisco’s streets this summer in the city’s long saga in search of the perfect can.

Academics: Swedish Proposal to Break Up
Migrant Ghettos Is ‘State Racism’

Swedish academics have denounced a proposal by a government minister to limit the number of non-Scandinavian residents in neighbourhoods as “state racism.” Ten academics largely comprised of professors from various Swedish universities slammed the proposal made by Minister for Integration Anders Ygeman, who said he would support a policy to limit the number of non-Scandinavian or “non-Nordic” residents in areas so they did not become a majority. “The proposal is difficult to take seriously, but at the same time frightening. It brings to mind the apartheid system and state racism that would cement and legitimise ethnic divisions instead of fighting them,” the experts said

Hunter Biden met with his father multiple times while working for a Romanian real estate tycoon accused of corruption—an effort that netted Joe Biden’s second son and associates “millions” of dollars, a source close to the arrangement told The Post. The timing of the meetings between the then-vice president and his son have raised questions about the “full truth” of the involvement with Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, critics said.(Snip)Hunter Biden began working for Gabriel Popoviciu in the spring of 2015, insiders say.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) intends to investigate the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s raid of Mar-a-Lago if Republicans take back the Senate this fall, he told Breitbart News. Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appeared on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday and shined a light on a number of angles on the raid of former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. Grassley first asserted there is an FBI “double standard” concerning Trump in contrast to other political figures, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. “I look at it in a larger context…

In an excerpt published by Politico on Friday, the journalist recalls Clinton's comments that followed a widely televised heated clash between Sanders and Sen.

Private religious schools won’t be required to comply with the Biden administration’s gender mandate to qualify for student-lunch funding under a newly released exemption. The Agriculture Department issued a fact sheet Friday stating that all religious schools will be automatically exempted from its May 5 guidance linking the National School Lunch Program to the administration’s gender-identity requirements on hiring, restrooms, sports and dress codes.(Snip) All charter and public schools are still subject to the USDA guidance, which stems from the administration’s effort to extend Title IX’s ban on sex discrimination to encompass sexual orientation and gender identity.

One thing we must give Democrats credit for is their unity. Yes, certain members of the party such as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) will occasionally diverge from the party line and oppose particularly radical pieces of legislation, but when it comes to big moments and key votes – on impeachment, for instance – Democrats circle the wagons. Contrarily, Republicans tend to fracture at the most inopportune moments, which is why it was refreshing to see virtual unanimity amongst the GOP after Monday’s outrageous raid on former President Donald Trump’s residence Mar-a-Lago. Almost all notable Republicans supported Trump after the ordeal; all except for one.

Breitbart is facing widespread criticism after the far-right media outlet published the names of FBI agents who carried out the raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. The conservative outlet published a leaked version of the search warrant that allowed the FBI to execute the raid hours before the document was unsealed Friday evening. Breitbart released a version of the warrant that included the names of the FBI special agent and supervisor agent who signed off on the receipts detailing the documents taken from the Mar-a-Lago residence — prompting widespread criticism that the outlet put a target on the agents.
