It is safe to say that the Democrats were emboldened by the successful theft of the 2020 presidential election.  They were further emboldened by the utter lack of any meaningful response from the Republican Party.  That has not stopped them from coming up with more and more elaborate plans to make absolutely sure Republicans will never win another Presidential election. 

The Biden Regime’s latest attempt is rather clever and elaborate.  Unfortunately it would be more successful than anything Acme ever produced.

Through this executive order, the president is abusing the power of his office and using taxpayer-funded resources to transform federal government agencies into get-out-the-vote machines for the left.

Like all other attempts by the Democrats, this one is in direct of the Constitution.

When it comes to elections, the U.S. Constitution is clear: Determining their time, place, and manner falls squarely upon the shoulders of the state legislatures with limited oversight from Congress. Nowhere is the president granted the power to regulate elections.  

Yet through Executive Order 14019, President Joe Biden has ordered federal agencies to engage in overtly political activities that will affect elections, while violating the Constitution and federal law in the process. 

The effects of this Executive Order will be far reaching.

The bad news is this executive order brings the threat of federal election interference to every state’s doorstep. And with the countdown to 2024 well underway, time is running out to stop Team Biden’s scheme. The good news is Congress and the states can stop the threat if they work together and work quickly. 

This Executive Order will deputize every single far left community activist group, making them voter registration power houses.

In one of his first acts after taking office, Biden signed Executive Order 14019, titled “Promoting Access to Voting.” His order commanded every federal agency to use taxpayer-funded resources to engage in voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts. These are overtly partisan activities reserved for political parties, not government.  

Through food stamps, public housing, Medicaid, and other welfare programs, federal agencies have the resources and ability to target millions of potential voters across every state in the country — potential voters whose information is required to enroll in these programs and who are statistically more likely to vote Democrat.  

The order went even further by requiring agencies to allow third-party groups, hand-selected by the White House, to engage in voter registration activities on federal agency premises.   

100 Word Fan Fiction: Generally Brilliant

“I still do not see why we didn’t follow them General.”, Said the Major,“ We could have captured that entire underground cell.”

“Feldkamp you have no imagination, if we followed them what would we have? A couple of small potatoes, this way the Allies not only believe the plans have gotten through but are convinced we never found them. Patton will still land at the Pas de Callas and we will be ready for him when he does.”

“Simply Brilliant General.” mouthed the Commandant nodding.

Burkhalter grimaced: “I’m glad you approve Klink otherwise I’d have been worried.”

Previously: A Lack of Trust, Next: You can’t win them all

One of the things I’ve objected to for a while has been the messianic trend that the Trump campaign and it’s surrogates have played. As I said before, I like Trump and consider him in the top 4 presidents of all time based on his previous record in the white house (subject to adjustment if he gets four more years) but I’m electing a president I already have a God and I don’t need people screaming “Blasphemer” if I think a different man would do a better job this time around. To Wit:

Anastasio said: “People may not understand this, but I lived and breathed Trump, so this isn’t something that comes lightly. I took a lot of heat for supporting him in 2016 when no one thought he would win, and I am prepared for heat for not supporting him now, but it is time to look forward, not relive the past.”

“No one owns me,” Anastasio added. “That is the beauty of being in the grassroots.”

However there is one misconception that some who are urging folks to drop Trump seem to have. It’s true that there is an irrational hatred of Trump made more irrational when you compare his four years to the four that followed and it’s also true because it is irrational you can’t argue or reason it away from people.

However it’s NOT true that this irrational hatred is non-transferable to others in the left to wit:

Anyone who thinks that the left will not start playing the “worse than Trump” business on not only DeSantis but any challenger that they consider a threat is deluding themselves. Furthermore since DeSantis was not broadly defined publicly like Trump they will do all they can do define him in this way, helped by a compliant media and alas by a compliant government infrastructure.

There are good reasons to support Trump, There are good reasons to support DeSantis and there are even some good reasons to support most members of the GOP field. But: “If you don’t nominate Trump I’ll go home.” and “The left/media won’t treat DeSantis like they do Trump” are not among them.

On the road again

In these deeply divided days of partisan politics, it isn’t easy to raise a chapeau when the other side does something right.

Nevertheless, I acknowledge that local, state, and national leaders—most of them Democrats—performed a significant service to Philadelphia and the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware by getting Interstate 95 up and moving in less than two weeks.

On Sunday, June 11, a tractor-trailer caught fire, killing the driver and burning through an overpass on I-95 just north of central Philadelphia. The accident forced the closure of a highway that sees more than 160,000 travelers daily, including many commuters into Philadelphia.

Most experts thought the highway would be closed through much of the summer. But a full-court press, including workers in shifts around the clock, bought a significant fix—albeit temporary—in only 12 days.

Indeed, other countries have shown it can be done. While every project is different, China replaced a section of a bridge overpass in 43 hours back in 2015. Last year, India built a 46-mile stretch of road in five days. Closer to home, a part of Interstate 85 in Atlanta collapsed because of a fire in 2017. Crews completed the repairs in 44 days.

Seeing city, state, and federal leaders working together after the collapse was a welcome sign. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro issued a disaster declaration for the ruined section of I-95, allowing the state to access federal funds for repairs.

“We’ve gotta get it fixed as soon as humanly possible,” said U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle, who convinced federal officials to tour the site.

Travelers will have only six out of the usual eight lanes, but that’s a far cry better than snaking through neighborhoods in Northeast Philly. So far, the repair has cost $7 million.

The importance of the project captured the attention of many residents. In fact, a live stream of the work became a must-see event in bars, sports venues, and homes throughout the region.

The euphoria over the quick success, however, has prompted a serious assessment of what else needs to be accomplished in the city.

In an editorial, the Philadelphia Inquirer provided a list:

–The subway system, which provides transportation to about 170,000 people each weekday, faces many problems with aging vehicles and structures.

–The open-air drug market in the Kensington neighborhood just north of downtown—aka Center City—symbolizes the ineffectiveness of policies on addiction, homelessness, and policing.

–The School District of Philadelphia faces an estimated $9 billion needed for building repairs and updates.

“The fast reopening of I-95 is undoubtedly worth celebrating, but none of us should be satisfied to stop there,” the newspaper wrote. “We must demand more of our leaders. If the measure of a society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members —if a community’s actions reflect its values —then what we value shouldn’t just be measured in mile markers.”
