is this preparation for the 2024 election ? so they can brag about "border security"

Wait!!!
It was only a few weeks ago that the Biden Admin. was quietly selling off "unused sections of border wall". The border states have been putting up with this for years, but now illegals are putting a strain on a couple Dem run cities in the North, and all of a sudden a wall needs to be built.

This is going to bite the democrats so hard in the ass during the election cycle. There is no recovering from this mess without looking like a complete and utter fool.

And this from just a month ago from the Government Accountability Office, claims that "Trump's border wall caused significant cultural & environmental damage."

Trump*s border wall caused *significant* cultural, environmental damage, watchdog finds
"The border wall championed by President Donald Trump harmed the environment and trampled on Native American cultural sites, according to a report released on Thursday by the Government Accountability Office.

The 450 miles of barrier constructed during Trump*s time in office * one of his highest-profile actions * proceeded by waiving or disregarding environmental and historic preservation laws. But it*s now clear the wall interfered with endangered species, diverted water sources and caused other environmental damage, the federal watchdog said."

*This racist political stunt has been an ineffective waste of billions of American taxpayers* dollars * and now we know it has caused immeasurable, irreparable harm to our environment and cultural heritage as well,* Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who requested the report, said in a statement."

All those GOP mayors and governors shipping these illegal invaders right to deep blue sanctuary cities was SUCH a brilliant move. Keep it going!

It really warms my heart to see the Biden regime start to panic over all this.

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...-up-10m-legal-bills/

Hunter Biden reportedly racked up at least $10 million in legal bills over the past five years, as he potentially spends millions more defending himself from an impeachment inquiry and three gun charges.

The legal bills are a combination of fees incurred from the Justice Department’s probe, his divorce, disputed paternity agreement, along with his multitude of lawsuits against his critics, people familiar with the figure told CNN.

Legal experts told Breitbart News in December that Hunter Biden’s high-powered legal defense could cost him more than $100,000 per month.

Critics question how Hunter could afford expensive legal fees month after month while allegedly being strapped for cash. While Joe Biden was vice president, Hunter was nearly penniless, living paycheck to paycheck after out-of-control spending, Hunter’s ex-wife stated.

Maybe they will supply Hunter with a public defender!!! Wouldn't that be something??

Not only is Biden going to build more border wall, he is blaming Donald Trump and the Republicans for him having to do it.

https://www.washingtonexaminer...wall-required-by-law

"These funds were appropriated in fiscal 2019 under Republican leadership," press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said. "We believe there are better, more effective ways of moving forward to secure our border, and we have continuously asked for Congress to act."

The Department of Homeland Security has announced it's building the 20 new miles in Texas, despite President Joe Biden's campaign pledge to build "not another foot" if elected.

The news came out last night, though Jean-Pierre says DHS made the allocation back in June. She also said Biden had asked Congress to reallocate the funds, which it refused.

Biden said much the same himself earlier in the day.

"The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn’t," he said. "They wouldn’t. In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. I can’t stop that."

Asked specifically if he thought a border wall would be effective, Biden said, "No."

Despite the White House's apparent reluctance, the border wall announcement comes as immigration has become a weight on the administration. Biden's approval rating on the issue is just 33.6%, and he's facing increased pressure from blue state politicians in New York, Illinois, and the Washington D.C. area thanks to migrants who have flooded those areas via bus.

Jean-Pierre was pressed repeatedly about the border wall during Thursday's press briefing.

Several reporters questioned why the money had to be spent now if it was appropriated four years ago. Jean-Pierre pointed back to needing to comply with the law, though she refused to name which specific law she was referring to.

DHS cited an "acute and immediate need" for the wall due to surging illegal immigration, apparently against the beliefs of the president.

"The president has been very clear about this," Jean-Pierre said. "He doesn't believe the border wall is effective, and that has not changed. That has not changed."

and yet,

Mayorkas says he is using his authority provided by Congress to waive 26 federal laws, including the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act.

to build some wall.

Awww, Joe the Plumber is paying your freight, STFU.

'Terrifying': Resumption of Student Loan Repayments May Force College Grads To Dip Into 'Fun Budget,' Media Warn

quote:

For the first time since President Joe Biden took office, student loan debtors will this month have to pay back some of the money they borrowed from the federal government.

Biden has tried to soften the blow. Since the Supreme Court in June shot down the president's sweeping plan to write off student loan debt, he has nonetheless managed to "forgive" $127 billion of the taxpayer-fronted money for a few million former college students, including $9 billion on Wednesday, per the White House.

Still, the mainstream media have been filled with alarm about hardships and injustices that could result from the resumption of student loan debt collection. Lawyers, former philosophy professors, aerospace defense workers, and university administrators could be among those hardest hit, according to reports. Cutbacks could be required to vacations, restaurant dining, spa days, and other "fun budget" items.

NBC News, Oct. 1: "The 'terrifying' trade-offs millions of Americans face as student loan repayments resume":

Rhiannon Dodds Funke said she and her husband have nearly $1 million in student loan debt. Dodds Funke is a law school graduate and her husband, a former philosophy professor and cancer survivor, recently went back to school to get a law degree to help support their two teenage children. …

"Now to have the student loans stacked on top of it, it's really, really scary. We are going to be living on the brink," she said. "There have been a lot of expenses that we've been trying to tear down to try to prepare for this."

Among those changes, the family recently got rid of cable television and canceled phone lines, and Dodds Funke is going to give up the office space where she practices law and work from home.

Associated Press, Sept. 30: "Borrowers are reassessing their budgets as student loan payments resume after pandemic pause":

Millions of Americans must start repaying their federal student loans again in October, with monthly payments averaging hundreds of dollars. To get ready, borrowers are cutting expenses, taking on additional work, and looking for options to reduce their monthly payments.

Megan McClelland, 38, said she has started asking for October shifts with a catering company and a winery to help supplement her income.

Biden Nominates Hunter’s Burisma-Linked Associate as Special Counsel

https://slaynews.com/news/bide...ign=daily-newsletter

President Joe Biden has nominated his son Hunter’s former business associate to serve as special counsel.

Biden nominated Hampton Dellinger who previously worked alongside Hunter while he served on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.

The White House announced the move in a Tuesday press release.

Dellinger will replace Henry Kerner, whose term as the position’s current occupant expires.

The Office of Special Counsel is primarily responsible for safeguarding the “merit system by protecting federal employees and applicants from prohibited personnel practices, especially reprisal for whistleblowing,” its website states.

Dellinger was previously nominated by Biden as an assistant attorney general overseeing the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy.

He held the position between October 2021 and June 2023.

Dellinger, who graduated from Yale Law School, had also previously donated to Biden’s presidential campaign.

Dellinger worked on Boies Schiller Flexner’s Crisis Management and Government Response team while Hunter Biden served as counsel at the firm.

The firm had represented Burisma, where Hunter Biden had served on its board of directors.

Burisma paid Hunter tens of thousands of dollars a month to sit on the board, despite having zero experience in the energy industry.

Exclusive—Alex Marlow’s ‘Breaking Biden’: Joe Biden Covered for Brother Frank After He Was Involved in Fatal Hit-and-Run Car Crash

Frank Biden - Joe's brother

In July of 1999, Frank Biden let a young friend named Jason Turton drive his Jaguar to a concert at a tavern in Cardiff, California. Frank’s Florida driving license had been suspended, so he rode shotgun during the trip, controlling the stick shift himself while giving Turton instructions.

At one point, they had the Jaguar humming along at over 70 mph in a 35-mph zone when they slammed into a pedestrian crossing the street. They drove off, leaving the victim to die at the scene. Two witnesses who were in the back seat during the crash claim that Frank Biden told Turton to “keep driving” after the fatal collision. The victim, Michael Albano, was a single father whose death left behind two young daughters.

Turton eventually pleaded guilty to “felony hit and run” charges, while Frank was hit with a wrongful-death lawsuit in August 2000 by the guardians of the Albano daughters. Frank never showed up to the court-house for any hearings, and he refused to reply to “any legal correspondence from the court, including a court final judgment in September 2002 that Frank owed each of the girls $275,000 for his role in the tragedy,” Peter Schweizer reported in his book Profiles in Corruption.

The Albano girls eventually hired a private investigator to track down where Frank was hiding so he could accept service of documents. Investigators said they had received information that Frank occasionally lived at his brother Joe’s house in Delaware, but they were unable to locate a bank account for Frank, who had become evasive.

Eight years later, in 2008, attorneys for the Albano sisters reached out to the soon-to-be vice president, Joe Biden, in the hopes that he could help them collect the money Frank owed them. Even though Joe Biden’s own wife and daughter were killed in an automobile accident, he seemed to show no sympathy for the Albanos and did not respond to them. Biden’s chief of staff replied callously: “Senator Biden has received your letter of September 16 regarding a judgment by your clients against his brother Frank. The Senator wishes to express his deep sympathy with the Albano daughters over their loss. . . . Frank has no assets with which to satisfy the judgment. The Senator regrets that this is where matters stand and that he cannot be more helpful.”

Joe’s team covered for Frank, even when it meant denying orphaned girls what was rightfully theirs.

Schweizer believes that Joe was being dishonest about Frank’s ability to compensate the victims. “Frank Biden was earning money,” he reported. “Indeed, seven days before Joe Biden’s office sent that letter, his brother was slapped with a tax lien from the IRS for $23,638.59 in unpaid taxes. In total, he owed more than $32,000 at the time, a clear indication that Frank had income. In 2013, he paid off the tax lien in full.”

With interest, Frank owed them a debt of $900,000 in 2019. Less than a year after Schweizer published the aforementioned letter, the Daily Mail reported that after two decades, Frank Biden had finally agreed to pay the Albano family some of the money.

Meanwhile, as he avoided this particular financial obligation, Frank was out hustling using the family name. Throughout Joe’s vice presidency (2009–2017), for example, Frank was a dealmaker in several complex international real estate development schemes in Costa Rica and Jamaica, putting himself in a position to get access to substantial U.S. government funding dedicated to those countries.

I also document in the book a charter school company that Frank oversaw that bagged federal grants. It failed students, but Frank has enough in his coffers to fly around in private jets, ostensibly on the job of promoting the schools.

^^^^^
Joe, Hunter, and Frank. A family of vipers. Well protected vipers.

Entitlement runs deep in the Bidens.

And then, vacant look on his face, walks off stage taking no questions after his short statement.

Joe Biden’s foreign policy summed up in one gif:

Check the lying sack of fecal matter out. He actually MIGHT be telling the truth on this one, but he found a way to phukk up a wet dream. Of course we all know his handlers are telling him what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. But THIS...from 16 years ago:
