H.R. 1 is a straight up Democratic power grab

H.R. 1 is a straight up Democratic power grab

"America is still grappling with the issues that plagued a divisive 2020 election. In that election cycle, Democratic politicians and left-wing lawyers launched a multi-state assault on election security laws that gave unprecedented and unconstitutional authority to non-legislative actors to change election laws.

"Now, Democrats are doubling-down on their efforts to undermine election security with H.R. 1, the so-called “For the People Act,” a bill that would federalize state elections while sweeping away state election integrity efforts.

"Rather than using the slimmest majority in modern history to enact bills that would fix problems in our election system, Democrats seem maniacally focused on making sure they maintain power in the next election. This bill shouldn’t be called the “For the People Act” but instead should be known as the “Democrat Power Grab Act of 2021” because it is clearly designed so Democrats can aggregate and exert power." . . .

It’s key for all Americans to understand how the S. 1 (H.R. 1) Corrupt Politicians Act fits into this power grab to fundamentally transform America into a socialist nation under permanent one-party rule.

The Media's Credibility Gap Continues to Grow

RedState

. . . "Meanwhile, the media has spent so much time focusing on Liz Cheney getting booted from leadership not because it’s worth a weeks-long news cycle but because it advances the narrative that the GOP is too extreme, too pro-Trump to continue existing and that a Republican civil war is coming. None of this is true, mind you. The GOP appears to be moving steadily toward the middle, and while Trump is somewhat a factor in terms of what politicians are saying, they are quietly starting to move away and focus on the future.

"But God forbid we let Trump out of any news cycle even for a minute because that will inevitably lead to a ratings drop (as opposed to the ratings drop we’re seeing now?).

"The right is not immune to this, mind you. Fox News is very narrative-driven, and Newsmax and OANN more so. They have a clear agenda, but because they are of the right, the rest of the left-leaning media is hellbent on attacking them in order to make them look like the bad, dishonest news organizations. They want to pretend they have sterling records while the right-of-center outlets are corrupt and evil, but they themselves are mired in the perversion of what journalism is supposed to be.

"There is no reason to trust any of them anymore." . . .

The Media Hates You And Is Shocked That You Hate It Back

  They cover up Democrat perfidy and invent Republican scandals. They try to police our language. They condescend to us. They dox innocent citizens. They lie all the time. They carry water for liberal leakers. They try to get our own (real) reporters, like Townhall’s Julio Rosas, killed for refusing to follow the narrative.

 Shameful! Racists in the media now demonize white military men . . . “Our profession today is unrecognizable,” says award-winning journalist Lara Logan.

"She has watched the transformation of media from what it was meant to be, with many journalists blurring the lines between fact and opinion.

"The root causes and how Big Tech and the MSM work hand-in-hand:

Media in Full Spin Mode to Cover for Biden’s Failures

 

Rich Terrell

Media in Full Spin Mode to Cover for Biden’s Failures   "Joe Biden’s presidency is spiraling out of control. By any reasonable metric he has failed as a commander in chief. He has failed on immigration, he has failed on the economy, he has failed to create jobs, he has failed on foreign policy, he has failed on handling the pandemic, he has failed to unite the country, and he has failed as a leader. But that’s not what the mainstream media would have us believe."  . . .

A Self-Loathing Ruling Class Cannot Endure   "The U.S. now has an official regime of lies, supported by an almost worthlessly dishonest media, and scores of millions of Americans brainwashed into the false view that they live in an evil country."  Conrad Black

Lest we forget Joe Biden’s past:  THE HEROIC ADVENTURES OF SUPER JOE

Joe Biden fibs all the time. He tells these glorious tales and he is always the hero of the story.

"Alana Goodman summarized six events Biden used to put himself into as a hero. Her investigative report is well worth reading on this link.

 "Here is one of the six:

"While running for president in 2008, Biden told the United Mine Workers that he was a coal miner." . . .

'Difficult to believe': The Associated Press is slammed for saying it was unaware of Hamas intel operation in their building that Israel razed to the ground: Report from 2014 claims they knew terrorists were there

It would be hard to screw up that badly even if one were trying. But Barack Obama had his number: "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f--- things up."

Joe Biden is proving even more of a ‘master of disaster’ than Jimmy Carter

NY Post

Gas prices were already on the rise under Biden before the cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline led to long lines at the pump. It now costs $1.05 more per gallon than it did a year ago. With Biden closing the Keystone XL Pipeline on his first day in office and generally vowing to wage war on all fossil fuels, it’s no wonder there’s uncertainty and higher prices.

. . . "But barely four months into his presidency, it’s disaster after disaster as Biden wastes every opportunity his predecessor left him. US consumer confidence fell unexpectedly this month as rising prices, a hiring slowdown and energy uncertainty hit hard. On Friday, the University of Michigan said its Index of Consumer Sentiment declined to 82.8, from 88.3 in April. Economists had predicted it would rise to 90.4. 

" It wasn’t the first disappointment for prognosticators this month. Economists expected the country to tack on 1 million jobs in April after seeing gains of 770,000 in March. Instead, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported just 266,000, as the unemployment rate rose to 6.1 percent. 

" And then it announced that consumer prices rose 4.2 percent year-over-year in April — far worse than economists had predicted. It was the largest such jump since September 2008, when the financial crisis was at its height. Oh, and core inflation rose 0.8 percent from March to April, the biggest rise in nearly four decades. 

"You can thank Biden’s focus on expanding government at the expense of everyone else. Democrats (alone) passed his $1.9 trillion COVID “relief” bill — which had little to do with either — in March, as things were finally picking up. Throwing money into the economy without much consideration of its necessity directly led to the inflation we’re seeing now, with the money supply up by 25 percent over last year." . . .
