Remember Mayorkas' Impeachment Proceedings? Well...

Original Article

Posted By: Northcross, 12/13/2024 1:15:56 PM

Remember how Senate Democrats buried Mayorkas' impeachment? It gets worse. The Biden-Harris administration spent over $1.6 million in taxpayer money on the defense of U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during his impeachment proceedings, according to internal documents obtained by The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project. Although the taxpayer spending was previously reported on, the watchdog organization's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) findings confirm that the American people actually paid that much for a fleet of high-flying lawyers to defend Mayorkas.

Comments:

So we, the American taxpayers, had the privilege of contributing mega dollars to the defense fund of the lowlife who deliberately flooded our country with convicted criminals, child traffickers, deadly drugs, and who knows what else.

$1.6 million is just a toilet seat over at the DOD.

I could have named all the usual traitors except Capito. They all should be publicly exposed as enemies of the people who elected them.

I'm guessing that's $1.6 million more than the US government spent on lawyers to defend Pres Trump against the two sham impeachment trials.

Soon Mayorkas will be a private citizen, just like the rest of us. I hope he has a lot of money to spend on private security. He is going to need it.

A study conducted by parental rights organization Parents Defending Education (PDE) found that President Joe Biden’s Department of Education spent at least $1 billion on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives since 2021. Researchers found that $490 million was spent on DEI hiring efforts, $343 million on DEI programming and $170 million on DEI-related mental health resources. Key takeaways from the study include the fact that multiple Education Department grants “feature programming that advances race-based teacher recruiting, hiring, and training, including the use of race-based affinity groups.”

Argentina's Javier Milei Ends Deficit
for the First Time In 123 Years

Argentina's fiscal deficit has been a persistent challenge for its economy, driven by structural inefficiencies, spending, and limited revenue generation. As a result, the government must borrow or print money to finance the gap, fueling sky-high inflation and undermining its economic stability. However, for the first time in 123 years, President Javier Milei ended the country’s deficit in just one year of his presidency. When Milei took office on December 10, 2023, he promised to take a “chainsaw” to the nation’s economy— and that he did. “The deficit was the root of all our evils—without it, there’s no debt, no emission, no inflation,” Milei said.

If you thought you heard the worst concerning the U.S. southern border under the Biden-Harris Administration, think again. A new bombshell House Judiciary report found that illegal immigrants facing wanted for sex trafficking and various other violent crimes found a loophole to enter the United States. Due to the Biden-Harris Administration’s categorical parole program for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV), at least 30,000 illegal immigrants monthly with violent records have been allowed to bypass coming into the U.S. through the southern border, and instead fly into domestic airports. This results from what the administration calls “legal pathways,” created without Congressional authorization.

President Joe Biden, a “devout” Catholic, awarded the highest civilian honor a person can receive to a woman who has the blood of more than four million unborn babies on her hands. The former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, was given the presidential medal of freedom for her “absolute courage” and “fearless[ness],” who Biden says has “carved an inspiring legacy.” Richards, the daughter of late Democrat Texas governor Ann Richards, spent 12 years working as Planned Parenthood’s chief.

For the next four years, prepare to hear the same old thing over and over again from irrational libs who claim President-elect Donald Trump wants to destroy democracy. This week, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin claimed that “Republicans want to kill your kids” and that those who consent to Trump’s cabinet picks must pay a "political price." “The people who irresponsibly put dangerous, treasonous, unfit people in positions of authority are responsible not only for those people but for all the horrors that will unfold," Rubin said during an episode of her "Jen Rubin's Green Room” podcast.

The 2028 presidential election is still a long way off, though there's still been plenty of chatter about which name leads the pack to follow Donald Trump as the next Republican nominee. That's true for the Democrats as well now, after Vice President Kamala Harris lost to Trump, and Democrats also lost control of the Senate and failed to recapture control of the House. On Monday night, an Echelon Insights poll went out showing that amongst 14 candidates, as well as a "Someone else" response and "Unsure," Harris still has a healthy lead, with 41 percent saying they'd vote for her if the 2028 primary were held today.

Attempt to Steal Senate Race

They tried to steal it. They failed. It was a weird dynamic where this event in Pennsylvania’s Senate race was shocking but also not too surprising given liberal America’s penchant for engaging in election shenanigans when results don’t go their way. Republican Dave McCormick defeated incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), but he refused to concede. Even with no path given how much vote is left and how provisional ballots land, with most being rejected due to not meeting the benchmark requirements for authenticity, McCormick’s lead was viewed by both Republicans and Democrats as insurmountable. Most of the outstanding ballots were in red counties, like Cambria.

On Wednesday, Republican senators selected Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) as their new leader for the 119th Congress. Republicans have not picked a new leader in 18 years, but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) revealed earlier this year that he was stepping aside from the role after noticeably experiencing health issues. The process kicked off at 9:30am, but the first round of voting didn't take place until around 11:30am. Thune beat out Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who also challenged McConnell in 2022, and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who previously held Thune's role.

With Election Day just four days away, all eyes are going to be on potential cases of voter fraud to avoid a repeat of the 2020 election in which lawsuits claim there was mass ballot rigging that resulted in President Joe Biden’s win. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is ramping up concerns over possible cases of ballot harvesting in Wisconsin, one of the most critical swing states that could decide the outcome of the 2024 election. CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission, citing evidence of ballot harvesting being committed in plain sight.

Going forward, pedestrians in the Big Apple can cross the street wherever they please thanks to a new rule decriminalizing jaywalking. The reason why jaywalking was legalized? Because apparently, tickets for jaywalking were previously “disproportionately” given to people of color. According to the Associated Press, Council Member Mercedes Narcisse (D), sponsored the legislation to end these racial disparities in enforcement. Reportedly, more than 90 percent of jaywalking tickets issued last year were to black and Latino people.
