Biden's California Dream; "Make America California."

 

Frontpagemag   "I was surprised to read (in The Los Angeles Times) that the Biden administration's "role model for America" is... California! He wants to "Make America California."

"That is a terrible idea.

"Californians now rush to move out of California.

"Some hopeful folks still move there, but so many more leave that California now loses more than 10,000 citizens every month. In fact, the state will soon lose a congressional seat.

"Why do Californians leave? "Exorbitant tax rates, high crime rates, the failing public school systems, the exorbitant cost of living," says reporter Kristen Tate in my new video.

"So many Californians move away that there's now even a shortage of U-Hauls. Renting one to go from Los Angeles to Houston costs four times as much as it does to go from Houston to LA.

" 'People are just emptying out!" says Tate.

"But this seems crazy. California has great weather and all kinds of natural advantages.

"The state's politicians drive people away with bad policies." . . .

Biden Builds Back Obama's Middle East

  Washington Free Beacon   "Column: And makes a mockery of his democracy agenda

"That didn't take long. One week after piously and erroneously repudiating the Commission on Unalienable Rights established by his predecessor Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed the hollow selectivity of this administration's commitment to human rights and democratic reform.

"On April 7, Blinken said he was "pleased to announce" the reinstatement of tens of millions of dollars in aid to the West Bank and Gaza and of some $150 million to support the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). "All assistance will be provided consistent with U.S. law," Blinken added.

"Easier said than done. The Taylor Force Act, signed into law in 2018, withholds aid from the Palestinian Authority until the State Department certifies that the ruling party of the West Bank has terminated payments to family members of terrorists. It hasn't. That was one reason the Trump administration slashed the aid in the first place. Nor is there evidence that suddenly the Palestinians have curtailed the so-called pay-to-slay schemes that incentivize the murder of civilians and the perpetuation of conflict. On the contrary: They bristle at the idea of changing their corrupt and self-destructive ways.

"A second law from 2018, the Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act, holds beneficiaries of foreign assistance legally and financially responsible for terrorism committed against U.S. citizens. This notion—that the Palestinian Authority might actually have to pay a price for its incitement to anti-Semitic violence—so terrified the leadership in the West Bank that it sent a letter to the Trump administration in February 2019 renouncing U.S. aid. I must have missed the make-up note postmarked Ramallah." . . .

Pete Buttigieg: Racism is 'physically built into' country's highways

 Washington Examiner  "Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg suggested in a recent interview that racism is built into the country's highway system.

“ 'There is racism physically built into some of our highways, and that’s why the jobs plan has specifically committed to reconnect some of the communities that were divided by these dollars,” the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor told reporter April Ryan this week in an interview discussing President Joe Biden’s proposed $2 trillion infrastructure plan.

"Buttigieg explained that several major highways in the United States negatively affect minority communities.

“ 'Well, if you’re in Washington, I’m told that the history of that highway is one that was built at the expense of communities of color in the D.C. area,” he said. “There are stories, and I think Philadelphia and Pittsburgh [and] in New York, Robert Moses famously saw through the construction of a lot of highways.”

"Buttigieg added that there has been a lack of federal infrastructure projects in black communities throughout history and said it “wasn’t just an act of neglect” but rather a “conscious choice” that the Biden administration hopes to rectify in the new spending package." . . .

Psaki Confirms Joe Biden’s Panel Is Considering Court Packing… | Weasel Zippers

‘People will present different opinions and different points of view and then they’ll have a report at the end of a 180 days’

EXCERPT:

"PSAKI: "Well, first, he's -- the panel's being asked to do a number -- take a number of steps, including the pros and cons on exactly that issue. But they will also be looking at the court's role in the constitutional system, the length of service and turnover of justice on the court -- justices on the court, the membership and size of the court, and the court's case selection, rules, and practices. And the makeup of this commission, which was vital for the president is, there are progressives on the court, there are conservatives on the court, people will present different opinions and different points of view and then they'll have the report at the end of 180 days.'

"Let’s also remind folks about the position of that great hero to many on the left, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. But what they often like to forget was how much she believed in not further politicizing the Court and how much she was against such schemes as court-packing, even if it was proposed or pushed by Democrats." . . .

WATCH: Trump Hammered Biden on Packing SCOTUS with 'Radical Left Justices' During 2020 Debate (trendingpolitics.com)  "Future president Joe Biden misled the American people and deflected numerous times on the campaign trail about packing the U.S. Supreme Court with radical justices.

On Friday, however the White House is expected to issue an executive order to form a commission in a first step towards potentially packing the Supreme Court.

Biden’s track record of opposing court-packing, a partisan practice that was widely rebuked under the Roosevelt administration, runs directly contrary to even exploring the measure.

In October, while in Cincinatti, Ohio, Biden told a WKRC reporter that he “not a fan” of the practice." . . .
