I doubt it. obama himself was just as much a puppet as biden is. Somebody else is behind the curtain pulling the strings and running the country. I doubt that even when biden steps down/is removed/dies/whatever that even harris would be in control of the presidency. We have a 'president,' but we have no idea who is REALLY running the country.

"Paid leave" is inaccurate. Temporary duty (TDY) is what they're being offered, working at a distant location other than the usual duty station. They'll be paid their usual wages plus overtime with lodging and meals reimbursed (per diem). https://www.govexec.com/pay-be...ils-and-more/173052/ | |||

Well, sadly I’m such a cynic when it comes to govt employees my 1st thought was we might get more use out of our tax dollars paying them not to work!

That's what Rush used to say, that when Biden is carried off the stage, Kamala will not be running the show. It will be someone in the background. | |||

I could not agree with you more. I had never seen that before. “Not a bad thing....a source of our strength” - the loss of the majority demographic that founded, built, fought for and sustains this nation becoming a minority?! What an absolute POS. And the lefties get their panties in a wad when Tucker Carlson speaks the truth about the Democrats’ plan to turn the country permanently blue by changing the demographics. | |||

We all knew it, but Project Veritas got a CNN employee to admit that CNN was on a mission to take down Donald Trump. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ne...atfished-Tinder.html CNN technical director Charlie Chester: 'Look what we did, we got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it, and I 100 percent believe that if it wasn't for CNN, I don't know that Trump would have got voted out,' Chester said in the video. 'I came to CNN because I wanted to be a part of that.' 'Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that's what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be climate change awareness,' '[Trump's] hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to tell a story that was all speculation -- that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He's unfit to - you know, whatever,' Chester said. 'We were creating a story there that we didn't know anything about. That's what - I think that's propaganda,' 'We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he's] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric,' In another clip, Chester said that there is 'fatigue' for stories about the coronavirus pandemic, and that CNN is looking for new stories to 'latch onto'. 'They've already announced in our office that once the public is - will be open to it - we're going to start focusing mainly on climate,' he said. 'Pandemic-like story that we'll beat to death, but that one's got longevity. You know what I mean? Like there's a definitive ending to the pandemic. It'll taper off to a point that it's not a problem anymore. Climate change can take years, so they'll probably be able to milk that quite a bit,' 'Be prepared, it's coming. Climate change is going to be the next COVID thing for CNN,' said Chester. other parts of the recording: Chester: “If the agenda say, is to get @mattgaetz right now, he’s like this Republican. He’s a problem for the Democratic Party...So we’re(@CNN) going to keep running these stories to keep hurting him.”This message has been edited. Last edited by: sdy, | |||

I agree. Obama isn't calling the shots. He's making millions & he doesn't care, nor did he ever care about America. He only pokes his head out from under his rock to make the occasional race baitng comment, when the press hasn't paid any attention to him for a week or so. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Biden’s UN Ambassador: ‘Sin of Slavery Weaved White Supremacy Into Our Founding Documents and Principles’ https://legalinsurrection.com/...ents-and-principles/ President Joe Biden’s UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield says America must acknowledge its own failures before it joins the UN Human Rights Council. “I’ve seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles,” declared Thomas-Greenfield. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Trying to figure out which is the most ridiculous.
U.S. Treasury on Russian Federation Sanctions Election interference?!? This from the administration working feverishly to cancel the vote of American citizens by importing a whole new underclass of dependent non-citizens, while at the same time working to make U.S. election law meaningless, then packing the USSC to ensure any Constitutional challenges to their actions can be disposed of quickly. Or is it this?

Biden calls Masters champ Hideki Matsuyama ‘Japanese boy’ in odd compliment. There he goes again. Quite the extemporaneous speaker. Perhaps he meant house boy. President Biden on Friday awkwardly hailed Masters golf champion Hideki Matsuyama as a “Japanese boy” during a press conference in the Rose Garden with Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. Matsuyama, 29, won the Masters Tournament on Sunday at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club. “Yoshi, I know how proud you are — the people of Japan are — and you’ve got a Japanese boy coming over here and guess what? He won the Masters. He won the Masters. He won the green jacket,” Biden said in the Rose Garden. “And Matsuyama was the first Japanese player to take home that green jacket at the Masters tournament this week. So let me say congratulations to Japan as well on that feat.” Biden’s description of the celebrated golfer turned heads online. “Hideki Matsuyama is 29. Joe Biden just called him a ‘Japanese boy.’ To the Japan PM’s face,” one viewer wrote on Twitter. “Did Biden just use the term ‘Japanese boy’ to describe a grown ass man? oof,” wrote another. Biden and Suga spoke privately about tensions with China and also about a rise in reported anti-Asian prejudice in the United States, they told reporters in the Rose Garden. The Biden administration previously drew outrage from Asian Americans when senior White House adviser Jen O’Malley Dillon brushed off concern from Senate Democrats about the lack of prominent Asian American nominees. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (I-Ill.) vowed to block Biden’s other nominees, saying Dillion made an “incredibly insulting” remark that, ‘Well, we’re very proud of Vice President Harris,'” whose mother was born in India. Duckworth later backed down when the White House agreed to appoint a prominent in-house Asian-American liaison officer. On Wednesday, that person was revealed to be the relatively obscure Erika Moritsugu, who will serve as a deputy assistant to Biden. Biden kicked off the Rose Garden event with another awkward remark to Suga, declaring, “The prime minister’s brought the sun out, so we can do about anything.” LINK: https://nypost.com/2021/04/16/...suyama-japanese-boy/ | |||

Hunter Biden's Memoir Flops Despite Media Fluffing https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...spite-media-fluffing Hunter Biden's memoir, Beautiful Things, has totally flopped - selling under 11,000 copies to date, according to Publishers Weekly. The dismal sales come despite, as Sara Carter's Douglass Braff notes, "the abundant media promotion from places such as CNN, CBS News, and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!“ - especially about the memoir’s sex and drug content - in the lead-up to the book’s release." The book of President Joe Biden‘s youngest son debuted at twelfth place among hardcover nonfiction books. Some notable books that beat Hunter Biden’s memoir include National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman’s “The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country” in first place with 42,318 copies and Fox News host Shannon Bream’s “The Women of the Bible Speak: The Wisdom of 16 Women and Their Lessons for Today” in second with 32,686 copies during the same timeframe. His memoir did have a stronger showing on The New York Times’ Best Sellers list though, finishing its debut week in fourth place in the “Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction” category. -Sara A. Carter Braff also notes that Biden attempted to downplay the significance of the infamous laptop scandal broken by the New York Post in the run-up to the 2020 US election - telling Jimmy Kimmel that it's a "red herring," while falsely claiming that it had been deemed part of a Russian disinformation operation by the Director of National Intelligence's office. Of note, Donald Trump Jr.'s book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us sold 70,000 copies in its first week, according to Neilsen BookScan, and infuriated liberals when it made the New York Times' best seller list. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

In a series of executive orders signed by President Biden since taking office, one signed on Jan. 27 could impact land. It’s known as the ’30 by 30’ plan and would place 30% of U.S. lands and 30% of U.S. waters under federal jurisdiction by 2030. While details of the plan are still sparse, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack mentioned the plan in an interview this week. “The President has committed to a 30 by 30 effort: 30% of our working lands and public lands being dedicated in some form or fashion to conservation [by 2030]," said Vilsack, during an interview with Illinois Public Radio. "I think that also plays to the strength of CRP. I think it’ll play a particularly important role in that.” Without specific details, the goals of the plan include support locally led conservation efforts work toward a more equitable and inclusive version for nature conservation honor the sovereignty of tribal and indigenous communities support private land conservation be guided by science “I want to note it doesn't say to protect 30% of the nation's farmland. I want to point that out and mention some states have a lot of non-farmland,” said Jim Wiesemeyer, Farm Journal Washington correspondent, on “AgriTalk” this week. The President’ 30 by 30 plan was a topic of discussion on “AgriTalk,” as Nebraska Director of Agriculture Steve Wellman voiced his concerns of possible implications to agriculture. “One of the main concerns right now is the lack of information,” Wellman said. “There’s a lack of clarity on what they're really trying to do. In the document, they also mentioned use of the federal government's buying power, real property and asset management — words like that make us nervous the federal government is intending to use their buying power to conserve 30% of the land and 30% of the water in the United States. In a state like Nebraska, where agriculture is the heart and soul of what we do, 92% of our land is used for agricultural production. It's about 45 million acres, and half of that is grassland, which includes the Sandhills. We have a lot of land we think is maybe a target for some of these programs.” One Washington insider told Farm Journal the President is expected to outline his plan during the Leaders’ Climate Summit on April 22-23. The summit coincides with the fifth anniversary of the opening of the Paris Agreement, as well as Earth Day. The Biden Administration has invited 40 world leaders to attend. The April date would align with the timeline set — 90 days after the Executive Order was signed on Jan. 27. It’s also expected, when it comes to agriculture, the deal will largely touch CRP, but the rest of the plan could fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Interior and Forest Service. “The Department of Interior has the responsibility of developing the report, and the report goes to the National Climate Task Force, but there are a lot of questions about what federal agency or agencies will be responsible for managing the 30 by 30 program, who will make those decisions about what lands and waters are placed in the program and also how will these lands be administered in the future,” Wellman said. Those answers could be outlined when the President is expected to unveil the details of the program next week. “We're concerned about being able to keep that productivity and protect personal property rights for the owners,” Wellman said. “That's why we're raising concern about this proposed program.” Wellman said the root of his concerns dates back to the Obama Administration, with the Waters of the U.S. Wellman called that regulation a ‘power grab’. “I think we have a reason to be concerned about what federal policies are being developed and how that affects our productivity, and how that might affect our personal property rights,” he added. Wellman thinks the history of agriculture proves conservation efforts are already underway. “I think we have a very good track record of being able to demonstrate how responsible we are with utilizing our natural resources and still being productive for what we all need for food, feed, fuel and fiber,” Wellman said. “And it really comes down to a national defense issue, too; we need to be able to produce our own food, feed and fuel.” https://www.agweb.com/news/pol...l-30-30-plan-details | |||

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...c-racism-in-america/ White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended U.N. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Friday, telling reporters that “most people recognize the history of systemic racism in our country.” On Wednesday, Thomas-Greenfield told Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN) that “the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles.” A reporter asked Psaki about those comments, and whether President Joe Biden would keep her in her position Q "Thanks, Jen. The U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Linda Thomas-Greenfield, talking to her group on Wednesday, said that white — essentially said that white supremacy is woven into our founding documents and principles. Now, this statement is getting widely criticized as essentially parroting Chinese Communist Party talking points. So is the President going to remove her from her position as the representative before that body to promote United States values?" MS. PSAKI: "Is the President going to remove an African American woman with decades of experience in the Foreign Service who is widely respected around the world from her position as ambassador to the U.N.? He is not. He will — he is proud to have her in that position. He — she is not only qualified; he believes she is exactly the right person in that role at this moment in time. I have not seen her comments. I will say that there’s no question that there has been a history of institutional racism in this country, and that doesn’t require the U.N. Ambassador to confirm that." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Biden administration four primary "ram it down their throats" messages: #1 America is racist. White people are privileged and bad. Most especially white males #2 Climate Change. Climate Change. more Climate Change. OKeefe's video of CNN nailed it. CNN will be moving to hammering Climate Change nonstop #3 Open borders. Open floodgates to illegal aliens. Sign em up to vote (to vote DEM) #4 Expand the loose voting rules to allow even more DEM vote cheating and election stealing | |||

https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2...gy-dominance-n383892 Biden's Interior pick moves to undo American energy dominance Despite having pledged to take a balanced approach to energy issues during her confirmation hearings, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland made some of the worst predictions by Republicans about actions on such matters come true yesterday. Haaland revoked a dozen different energy policy orders put in place during the Trump administration, announcing that her priorities would be to address climate change and shift to “the green energy potential” of public lands, assuming any energy is to be produced at all. These moves not only fly in the face of many promises that Joe Biden made on the campaign trail, but also undermine statements that Haaland herself made this year when trying to tunnel her way through the confirmation process. Of course, absolutely nobody who has been paying attention will be surprised by these developments as they were all predicted by energy hawks who were familiar with the Secretary’s background Interior Secretary Deb Haaland on Friday revoked a series of Trump administration orders that promoted fossil fuel development on public lands and waters, and issued a separate directive that prioritizes climate change in agency decisions. The moves are part of a government-wide effort by the Biden administration to address climate change ahead of a virtual global summit on climate change that President Joe Biden is hosting next week. “From day one, President Biden was clear that we must take a whole-of-government approach to tackle the climate crisis , strengthen the economy and address environmental justice,” Haaland said in a statement. The new orders will “make our communities more resilient to climate change and … help lead the transition to a clean energy economy,″ she added. xxxxxxxxxxxxx This is what happens when you pick people because of "diversity" and not because they are smart | |||
