Nearly Three Years And $1,200,000,000,000 Later, Biden Has Almost Nothing To Show For His Biggest Domestic Achievement | The Daily Caller
Nearly Three Years And $1,200,000,000,000 Later, Biden Has Almost Nothing To Show For His Biggest Domestic Achievement | The Daily Caller:
Rampant inflation and President Joe Biden’s favoring of left-wing policies are contributing to a lack of progress on his landmark infrastructure law, analysts told the Daily Caller.
Two and a half years after Congress ratified the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in November of 2021, there has been very little concrete progress on new roads or bridges. The trillions of federal dollars the Biden administration has poured into the economy may actually be hindering the completion of the infrastructure that Biden promised to build, analysts told the Caller.

Liberty Counsel founder Mat Staver said, "Religious beliefs matter. The Los Angeles County Fire Department makes a mockery of both the law and religion by blatantly infringing on Captain Jeffery Little’s sincerely held beliefs. There is no compelling government interest in this case to force someone to raise an ideologically divisive flag. People do not have to choose between their faith or their job."
The case is being handled for Little by the Thomas More Society, with help from Liberty Counsel.
Why are all Americans forced to pay for NPR's ultra-biased, political hit-pieces?-----Biden visits cemetery Trump said was 'filled with losers' : NPR
The magazine said that Trump separately referred to Marines who lost their lives in the Battle of Belleau Wood as “‘suckers’ for getting killed.” - HEARD ON MORNING EDITION - Audio will be available later today.BELLAU, France — President Biden on Sunday paid tribute to fallen U.S. Marines at an American cemetery outside of Paris, a resting place that features prominently in his case against former President Donald Trump...

Trump had been scheduled to visit the cemetery in Nov. 2018, on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.
But he scrapped those plans. The White House blamed the weather, saying it was too rainy for helicopters to fly, and arguing that a motorcade would have been too disruptive for traffic and the schedule.
A different and much more damning story emerged two years later in The Atlantic, one that Biden often highlights on the campaign trail to show that his predecessor is not fit to be commander in chief.At the time the article came out, the Trump campaign strongly disputed its claims...The Atlantic said Trump canceled the trip because he didn’t want to get his hair wet in the rain, telling senior staff members “‘Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.’”

The magazine said that Trump separately referred to Marines who lost their lives in the Battle of Belleau Wood as “‘suckers’ for getting killed.”

Cowards in command!-----United States Central Command's Shameful Statement on Gaza Hostage Rescue By Ward Clark
On Saturday, the United States Central Command, in a statement that just screams weakness and indecision, confirmed that attitude in their statement regarding Israel's rescue of four hostages from Gaza.
The tweet continues:
An area south of the facility was used by the Israelis to safely return the hostages to Israel. Any such claim to the contrary is false. The temporary pier on the coast of Gaza was put in place for one purpose only, to help move additional, urgently needed lifesaving assistance into Gaza.
- This seems an awful lot like an attempt to appease, or at least not anger, Hamas...

Are Americans More Ignorant than We Realize? - Intellectual Takeout - Annie Holmquist"...especially considering that less than a quarter of American students are proficient in civics and only 12 percent are proficient in U.S. history...

- And if we are ignorant of these things, can we expect to retain the freedom and rights we’ve long enjoyed?
That libs support this says much about libs!-----Despite Liberals’ Hysterical Denials, Aliens Are Registering and Voting - Hans von Spakovsky
Foreign nationals register to vote and then cast ballots in our elections, the evidence shows. Alien voting is a real problem.
- The truth is out there. Aliens are registering and voting in American elections.
- For anyone who cares to see it, the truth is available in public records in election offices across the nation. But unfortunately, those who expose the truth about voting by aliens—illegal immigrants or not—are subjected to ridicule and an onslaught from the Left to preserve the broken status quo.
- Some would prefer that anyone who documents aliens participating in American elections—especially with the current border crisis—simply disappear...
