It was Anti-Christmas in August courtesy of the U.S. Congress’ Satan Clause, the wicked eternal elf all covered with soot that wasn’t off a chimney wall. He was whipping along a team of gargoyles with names including Fancy Nancy and Blurry Biden pulling a spiky sleigh of prickly gifts that you pay to receive. Blurry, it was said, couldn’t find his own nose in a firestorm.
The gifts? The current ruinously expensive spending legislation that you never requested and that only benefits the sleigh driver’s family of political demons.
And his clause? You can’t sleep, breathe, medicate, or eat without permission from his massive bureaucracy workshop along the turgid Pole-tomac. Permission to sleep? Better ask if it’s for lying down or standing up. Permission to eat? Fresh food or garbage?
We heard many descriptions of the staggering $1.2 trillion so-called infrastructure bill that the Senate passed on August 10 then moved to the House as being “bipartisan” legislation. We know the Democrats were one of the two parties. There were a number of disgusted remarks that the other party was the Communists.
But wait. We know that 19 craven Senate Republican Party members waving their white flags joined the Democrats to pass this openly destructive, socialist-crafted legislation, so where does the Communist Party figure in this? Critics including Donald Trump said the Communists already were a wing of the Democrats.
It should have struck the D.C. Democrats as an ominous coincidence that on this same day, New York’s rabidly left-wing Dem governor, Andrew Cuomo, had to announce his resignation over accusations of undue sexual familiarity, although only last year he was riding high with Dem pols and dominant media as being perhaps the next vice president or president of the U.S.
And back in January 2019, the dastardly abortion fanatic and bad Catholic Gov. Cuomo was hailed by these same elite, degenerate circles for signing into law an ugly bill passed by the Empire State’s majority-Democrat legislature further expanding permissive abortion, even after birth.
While Cuomo’s fall was attributed to the sex scandal, pro-lifers could see a delayed justice reaching out from January 2019.
When the United States’ very survival was under threat due to a range of issues from massive lawless immigration including COVID-infected foreigners to the Marxist-tilted Biden administration, Senate Republicans should have been fighting resolutely on every front.
However, some of them, including their leader, Mitch McConnell, didn’t even seem awake to the danger but just wanted to cut cozy deals. One GOP senator who understood the peril, John Kennedy, of Louisiana, lamented to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on August 10 that Republicans keep finding new ways to lose.
Using his typically colorful language, Kennedy said that opposing Biden’s infrastructure bill should have been an easy basketball shot, but Democrats wanted this bill “like an axe wants a turkey.”
Hannity also noted on his August 10 program that Biden had just returned from another weekend at home in Delaware, but actually had trouble on foot finding the direction to enter the White House.
A video posted by The Hill political site showed a Secret Service agent right in front of Biden pointing for him to follow a sidewalk into the presidential residence, but Biden instead walked off onto the lawn before turning toward the White House, leaving another agent behind Biden seeming puzzled.
Was this the best Biden could do at navigating around after the long years of having become a U.S. senator in 1973, serving as Barack Obama’s vice president beginning in 2009, and becoming the official resident of the executive mansion himself last January?
Perhaps more worrisome was a New York Post story posted August 11 saying that press secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden would not release visitor logs for his Delaware residences, even though he already had made 17 trips back there since moving into the White House.
This was bound to fuel speculation that the obviously impaired president goes back home for some kind of covert medical treatment — as well as suspicion about his ethically impaired son Hunter’s activities being concealed, and Joe Biden’s connection with them.
Moreover, in daily political news, how could Biden possibly think it served his interests to be seen adamantly welcoming countless aliens ill with COVID into the U.S. when he made such a point of saying he opposed the virus?
Well, with national Democrats on such a disastrous political path, it might come in handy for the 2022 elections for Biden to say that because of the resilience of the virus, millions more ballots must be flooded into the system for the midterms — just as proved so useful for him in 2020.
Meanwhile, Senate approval of the $1.2 trillion spending bill, with its 19 GOP supporters — nearly 40 percent of the Senate’s Republicans — enabled a huge Democrat $3.5 trillion budget bill to move forward for consideration that undeniably would change the nation as much as if the U.S. had fallen under Marxist control.
In addition to such socialist dictatorial schemes as the Green New Deal, it would meddle with so much of life as to facilitate limiting Americans living in the suburbs and those driving into the cities.
It would shove forward the Obama-Biden agenda to fight against zoning allowing single-family suburban housing and tax Americans on the number of miles they drive, in addition to the other taxes and fees Americans already pay for the privilege of having private vehicles.
Lower-class people who can’t afford to live downtown because of the way Democrats have made decent living there too expensive now would find it more costly to drive downtown for work from distant lower-priced housing they can afford. The effect could be to force them into urban rabbit warrens that globalists prefer for others, but not themselves.
A Washington Examiner editorial posted August 10 noted that the $3.5 trillion Democrat budget plan “is nothing short of a blueprint for a far-left, radical remaking of the United States.” The editorial said it pushes mothers into full-time jobs and, in addition to giving illegal aliens amnesty, provides for processing even more of them into the country faster.
“This legislation is designed to punish those who want to live a traditional way of life and reward those who live a progressive lifestyle,” the Examiner said, adding: “One might think such radical changes to our nation’s laws would merit some committee hearings or even a supermajority in either chamber of Congress. Nope. . . . They passed the bill in the dead of night (4 a.m. to be exact), with the barest of a 50-49 majority.”
The familiar use of this Democrat brass-knuckles strategy is always worth remembering whenever Republicans are warned to be cautious and take it slow with their own programs because the nation isn’t ready for them — but Dems slam through whatever monstrous schemes please themselves.
Trump: Wake Up, America
Trump issued a statement on August 11 saying: “Good morning, America! While you were all sleeping, the Radical Democrats advanced a plan that will be known as the $3.5 trillion Communist Plan to Destroy America. This legislation is an assault on our nation, on our communities, and on the American Dream.
“It destroys our borders and the rule of law by granting dangerous amnesty that will flood America’s beautiful cities. It will overwhelm our schools, and make our nation less safe,” Trump said. “It raises taxes like we have never seen, while also making many things you buy every day more expensive (gas, groceries, and much more). And don’t forget the crazy Green New Deal. America, you are being robbed in the dark of night. It’s time to wake up!”
The Wanderer asked conservative GOP political consultant Constantin Querard for his reaction to some Republicans boosting the huge Democrat spending. Querard replied on August 10:
“Congress will never run out of Democrats or Republicans to vote for trillions of spending, so long as a good-sized piece ends up in their home states, nor will the people of the United States ever elect enough good men and women with the backbone to say ‘No’ to the overspending that will eventually bankrupt this country.
“That is why the only solution is to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution so that Congress must live within its means,” he said.
Querard said he not only supports such an amendment but is on the board of directors of a group involved in this effort, the Center for State-led National Debt Solutions (csnds.org).
Listing various radical measures brought under the umbrella of the $3.5 trillion budget bill, associate editor Noah Rothman posted at the Commentary magazine site on August 11:
“Any one of these aspects of the progressive agenda would be a slog to pass through an evenly divided Senate and the narrowest of Democratic majorities in the House. But when you lump the whole thing into one comprehensive package, it changes everything.
“Perhaps most attractively from the progressive perspective, by cramming the smorgasbord of left-wing longings into a ‘budget’ bill, this ‘bold’ and ‘transformative’ legislation does what progressives have always wanted: It short-circuits the conventional legislative process,” Rothman said. “They’ve put aside all the messy compromises that are usually necessary to pass incremental reforms in favor of one revolutionary blow to the status quo.”
Asked by The Wanderer about Biden’s war on Americans, Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, replied on August 11:
“Think back for a moment to the conventions of the Democrat and Republican parties last summer. The contrast between them says it all. While the Republican convention was filled with faith, hope, joy, and love for America, as a land of promise, opportunity, heroes, and greatness, the Democrat convention was literally filled with doom, gloom, and complaining about America.
“Combined with this,” Pavone said, “look at what this same party has done over the last few years in trying to oust a duly elected president through illegal and unconstitutional processes at the highest levels of government, to disrupt a Supreme Court confirmation process by throwing the presumption of innocence out the window, to ruin our electoral process, and to advance radical policies through activist judges, immoral and extreme legislative proposals, and a failure to enforce law and order both at our border and in our cities.
“All of this amounts to a war on America,” the priest said. “It is coordinated, it is strategic, and it is carried out by the party that has put Joe Biden at the helm but is controlling him like a puppet. As President Trump says, we’re not so sure if Joe even knows what’s going on, but he’s doing the bidding of others who are controlling the party.
“Some on our side are invoking the tools of impeachment, which may indeed provide some remedy, but the problem is the party itself, which keeps producing these toxic ‘leaders’,” Pavone said. “It has to be deprived of power. We have to make a vigorous commitment to a two-step process: 1) secure our elections, and 2) vote the Democrats out of office.”
The Flow Of Leaks Vanishes
Although Biden often makes a sorry spectacle of himself, it was notable that the constant flow of embarrassing leaks during the Trump administration vanished when establishment marionette Biden became president.
No matter how awful Biden was in public, where were anonymous sources telling how much worse he was in private? On the other hand, because Trump in the White House was fighting for Americans, he was at war with the establishment, which produced a steady flow of leaks, even if false or misleading, for hostile media to pound him with.
That was a measure of the dangerous depth of the swamp, and how its currents ran one way or the other depending on whether you favored or opposed slurping up and bathing in its poisons.
Here are the 19 Senate Republicans who voted for Biden’s $1.2 trillion so-called infrastructure bill: Roy Blunt, Mo.; Richard Burr, N.C.; Bill Cassidy, La.; Shelley Moore Capito, W.Va.; Susan Collins, Me.; Kevin Cramer, N.D.; Mike Crapo, Ida.; Deb Fischer, Neb.; Lindsey Graham, S.C.; Chuck Grassley, Ia.; John Hoeven, N.D.
Also, Mitch McConnell, Ky.; Lisa Murkowski, Alaska; Rob Portman, Oh.; Jim Risch, Ida.; Mitt Romney, Ut.; Dan Sullivan, Alaska; Thom Tillis, N.C.: Roger Wicker, Miss.
