Talk About Orwellian: Biden Is Trying to Push a New Definition of the Word ‘Bipartisan’
Things Joe Biden says are often mystifying and incoherent.
But his latest remarks are just the latest in Democratic Orwellian claims.
According to The Hill, Joe Biden is now trying to argue that bills are “bipartisan” even if no GOP lawmaker votes for them if some Republicans somewhere in the country are for them.
The White House wants to change how people perceive bipartisanship, arguing that if they put forward proposals that are backed by Republicans and independents, they should be seen as bipartisan even if GOP lawmakers in Washington don’t vote for them.
So in other words, not reality and a cult-like redefining of words, literally changing the very definition of the word.
This is how they’re going to justify bulling through bills without any GOP support, while trying to shut down Republicans and arguing against the filibuster that protects minority rights, but still arguing they’re all about “unity.” They’re going to claim that Americans really want what they’re pushing even if half the country’s elected representatives aren’t in support of their bills. And they’ll be assisted by a lot of the media in spinning what they’re pitching.
Facebook, Twitter Campaign Donations Overwhelmingly Go to Democrats on Oversight Panels, Group Finds
A conservative non-profit advocacy group monitoring Big Tech claims almost all Facebook and Twitter employee and committee campaign contributions went to Democrats on House oversight committees.
The Internet Accountability Project (IAP) said in an April 1 statement that, based on campaign finance data compiled by opensecrets.org, Facebook and Twitter (employees and PACs) combined “contributed more than 12 times more money to Democrats (more than $5.5 million) than Republicans (less than $435,000) in 2020.”
The group cited a leading self-proclaimed socialist in the House of Representatives as an example of the extreme bias in favor of Democrats in political giving by employees of the two Internet giants.
“As just one example, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received a combined $36,346 in 2020 compared to less than $1,950 for all Republicans on the House Oversight Committee combined. Twitter employees did not give a single dollar to Republicans on the Oversight Committee,” IAP said in its statement.
How the Left controls and engineers its own conspiracy theories to demonize and shut down political opposition
A Democrat congressional coalition is pushing a new legislative bill that would bar anyone who has ever believed in a “conspiracy theory” from holding government security clearance. This is how they are getting away with it.
Known as the “Security Clearance Improvement Act of 2021,” the bill is a pre-planned response to the Jan. 6, 2021, false flag “insurrection” that took place at the United States Capitol. With the American public already primed to view supporters of President Donald Trump as scary “domestic terrorists,” the powers that be are going in for the kill by trying to forever ban their political opposition from working in government.
How did we get to the point that something like this would even be considered, let alone allowed to go mainstream? In classic sociopathic fashion, Democrats and their Republican allies have manufactured conspiracy theories of their own to demonize true American patriots, falsely accusing conservatives of doing the very things of which Democrats themselves are guilty.
By constantly engineering fake news about conservatives, the far-left deep state hopes to so scare the non-playable character (NPC) demographic that the average American willingly accepts the balkanization of America’s government into a communist police state.
DHS PREPARING TO USE PRIVATE CONTRACTORS TO “SCOUR PUBLIC DATA AND SOCIAL MEDIA” TO COMPILE DISSIDENT CITIZENS FOR WATCH LIST AND NO FLY LISTS
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is now getting ready to hire public companies, individual contractors outside government, to scour public data and social media in order to provide information for the new “domestic terror watch lists.” From the description it appears DHS is going to pay “big tech” (Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter, etc.), via contracts, to hire and organize internal monitoring teams to assist the government by sending information on citizens they deem “dangerous.”
Gee, what could possibly go wrong with this?…
NBC is reporting on these new developments as the U.S. intelligence apparatus is preparing to go live with the assembly of lists of Americans who “could be” potential threats to the government; and need to be watched.
However, even NBC is beginning to realize the consequences: “DHS planning to expand relationships with companies that scour public data for intelligence and to better harness the vast trove of data it already collects on Americans. The department is also contemplating changes to its terrorist watch listing process.”
Congress, in a Five-Hour Hearing, Demands Tech CEOs Censor the Internet Even More Aggressively
Over the course of five-plus hours on Thursday, a House Committee along with two subcommittees badgered three tech CEOs, repeatedly demanding that they censor more political content from their platforms and vowing legislative retaliation if they fail to comply. The hearing — convened by the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Chair Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), and the two Chairs of its Subcommittees, Mike Doyle (D-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) — was one of the most stunning displays of the growing authoritarian effort in Congress to commandeer the control which these companies wield over political discourse for their own political interests and purposes.
As I noted when I reported last month on the scheduling of this hearing, this was “the third time in less than five months that the U.S. Congress has summoned the CEOs of social media companies to appear before them with the explicit intent to pressure and coerce them to censor more content from their platforms.” The bulk of Thursday’s lengthy hearing consisted of one Democratic member after the next complaining that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google/Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey have failed in their duties to censor political voices and ideological content that these elected officials regard as adversarial or harmful, accompanied by threats that legislative punishment (including possible revocation of Section 230 immunity) is imminent in order to force compliance (Section 230 is the provision of the 1996 Communications Decency Act that shields internet companies from liability for content posted by their users).
Yet Again, The Democrats Fall Back On Their Racist ‘Soft Bigotry Of Low Expectations’
After “Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed the Republican-backed ‘Election Integrity Act of 2021,’ or SB 202, into law,” Democrats collapsed into a furious spiral of outrage.
Elizabeth Warren described SB 202 as a “despicable voter suppression bill,” which will “take Georgia back to Jim Crow.” MSNBC’s Joy Reid claimed that the “Georgia Jim Crow law” would suppress Democratic votes, while DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison argued that the “GOP is hellbent on ushering in Jim Crow 2.0.”
Firstly, it’s important to recognize that the Election Integrity Act of 2021 is not like Jim Crow. In fact, it’s nothing like Jim Crow, the laws imposed by Democrats in the late 19th and early 20th centuries which mandated the complete racial segregation of Southern states.
Beyond the undeniable historical fact that arguing that this bill is the “new Jim Crow” is an overwrought and intellectually offensive act of partisan hyperbole, it’s even more important to understand the foundation of bigotry on which the Democrats’ routine presumption of racism is built.
The most impactful change at the center of Georgia’s Election Integrity Act is that the state will now require that voters provide valid identification — in the form of a driver’s license or other state-recognized documentation — before they are able to cast their mail-in-ballot. Given that we require identification for a wide array of activities — such as driving a car, boarding a plane, or purchasing a firearm — the notion that identification is also required to vote is as reasonable an expectation as is possible.
Rep. Ruben Gallego pushes for VA to strip benefits from service members and veterans who stormed the Capitol
Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, a Marine Corps veteran, last week called on Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough to withdraw benefits from active-duty service members, veterans, or military retirees who participated in the deadly Capitol riot on January 6.
“The behavior of these individuals is not representative of the large population of American veterans, the vast majority of whom served honorably and are appalled by the thought of insurrection in the country they served,” he wrote in a letter. “Yet, many of the veterans and servicemembers who attacked their own Government actively and enthusiastically enjoy special benefits given to them by their fellow citizens.”
Such benefits include access to disability compensation, healthcare options, and vocational opportunities.
