United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

Oh no. Whatever shall he do? He’s joined the half of the website that you have on your blocklist. Truly this is terrible!

Seriously, how many people do you have on ignore now? It must make reading this website terribly confusing sometimes.

Who is he.... and why did I get blocked for quoting the founding fathers, more importantly why did he expect me to care, and told me about it?

 

[Floridaman]

Socialism ruins everything.

As much I would love to blame the folly of empire on the socialists I can’t, even before Wilson we had this problem, for instance Teddy Roosevelt who got the US involved in colonial endeavors, of which the only one that turned out positive in the long run was the phillipines, and that is if you ignore the US committing a genocide.

There are key differences in the world from the time of the founders. When the USA was founded, the speed of sail, and dangers thereof, had bee more or less consistent (with slow marginal improvements) for 3-500 years.

Within eighty years, a single generous lifetime, the transit time for crossing the Atlantic changed from weeks to days. Within another thirty years, the reliability had drastically increased, and all of these things functionally caused the world to shrink.

By the time of WWII, aircraft were crossing the Atlantic in less than two days, and ten years later, less than a day was standard. By the sixties, missiles could cross the world in hours, rapid deployment forces could have brigades anywhere within 48 hours...

Staying completely out of foreign affairs simply is not possible anymore. Arguments can certainly be made that the amount of involvement could/should be sharply decreased, but staying out altogether is just this side of impossible.

It's also a recipe for national ruin, as with what happened to the Chinese after they went isolationist... I forget if it was in the 1400's or 1600's, and basically put their technological and social development in stasis, while Europe's dominance grew. Trade in both material and ideas matters.

Staying isolated, no but not getting involved in alliances, and leading by example rather than force of arms, as our politicians lie and say we do now, (seriously when Biden pretended the US didn’t intervene, and still led by example I felt my eyes popping out of my head)
with nuclear weapons there is no need for a global alliance, as you can guarantee North America with those, and we have all the resources we need here, there is no need to go abroad.
finally,
Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto. — Thomas Jefferson

Currently dealing with Covid right now.

Its basically just a really shitty flu that lasts for over a week at least in my expeirence.

It sucks but the chances of it murdering you is low biden will be fine, it will be something else that kills him. My money is a fall from a bike.

I've had it once confirmed, but think I've had it twice. Biggest thing for me was just resting and orange juice, honestly. Get better soon!

Going back to work tomorrow I beat it.

Also not nearly as bad as the media said it would be its just a really shitty flu.

 

[Terthna]

You'd rather put these powerful peoples's backs to the wall? They'd fight you to the finish and probably do something very stupid in the process. Quietly and calmly neutralising them by taking their jobs is far cleaner and gets your point across anyway. Having your job taken away for bad behaviour or getting up to the gills in dogma is threat enough for any bureaucrat. And mass sackings spook the ones still on your payroll into line whilst encouraging the loyalists.

That and the vast majority of these bureaucrats probably haven't done much wrong aside from being incompetent fat cats. Sacking is punishment enough.

A fair concern; but as mrttao touched upon, they're already acting like they have nothing to lose. Because nobody has been willing to take anything from them. Besides; saying that they're too powerful to arrest is the same as saying they're too powerful to fire.

 

[Blasterbot]

Going back to work tomorrow I beat it.

Also not nearly as bad as the media said it would be its just a really shitty flu.

in my case it was 1 day that I had a fever of 102.7 just slept a lot and drank plenty of water. I had no symptoms after 3 days. work made me stay out for another week or so after but I did get payed. I have had worse colds or flus in the past though. not many but a couple.

My favorite part was getting paid to be off work for two weeks, let me tell yah.

My company gives you 10 days which is fair.

 

[History Learner]

My company gives you 10 days which is fair.

Mine stopped paying at all back in March I think; now it's five days unpaid.

 

[Captain X]

Mine stopped paying at all back in March I think; now it's five days unpaid.

Same. The only way to get paid during that time is to use PTO if you have any.

 

[Arch Dornan]

Socialism ruins everything.

More like greed and ambition. You have leaders that got more ambitious to enrich themselves or the country with the cooperation of certain businesses and the rest is history.

 

[mrttao]

Going back to work tomorrow I beat it.

Also not nearly as bad as the media said it would be its just a really shitty flu.

I had a far more vicious version. with a serious pneumonia and some long term complications...

But... still it was meh. none of the complications seem to be permanent and 2 years later I am mostly over them. And I can get over myself and realize that most people do not have it nearly as bad.

Well, depending on the timing, this could be of huge help in dealing with the demorats. Then again, these rats will do anything to block it the moment republicans are back in power, and we still have too many politicians with jello for spines to ever use this the right way.

HUGE: Judicial Watch Reveals Biden Administration Is Still Sending Billions to Afghanistan – And They Refuse Access to Auditors to Investigate

Judicial Watch revealed recently that the Biden Administration was still sending billions of US taxpayer dollars to Afghanistan. The Biden regime is also preventing an audit of their actions.

It’s been almost a year now since Joe Biden and the US Military surrendered to the Taliban terrorists. Joe Biden, General Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are still in power.

As part of the surrender, Joe Biden armed the Taliban with nearly $80 billion in US weapons and left thousands of Americans stranded in the country to fend for themselves.

The White House and Pentagon have never admitted to how many billion dollars worth of weapons they left behind for the Islamist group.

Joe Biden supplied the Taliban terrorist organization and their Islamist accomplices with billions of dollars worth of US arms.

Rather than destroying the equipment before leaving the country, Joe Biden decided to leave the nearly $85 billion worth of US military equipment to the Taliban.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Joe Biden left 300 times more guns than those passed to the Mexican cartels in Obama’s insane and dangerous Fast and Furious program.

This more complete list was created with public information and help from other intelligence sources.

The list does not include all the extra kinds of nonlethal equipment, everything from MRE’s, Medical Equipment, and even energy drinks.

The big story might be the pallets of cash the Taliban have been posting videos of pallets of weapons and stacks of $100 bills they have seized.



Here is a more complete list of US-supplied and left behind equipment list now controlled by Taliban:

-2,000 Armored Vehicles Including Humvees and MRAP’s
-75,989 Total Vehicles: FMTV, M35, Ford Rangers, Ford F350, Ford Vans, Toyota Pickups, Armored Security Vehicles etc
-45 UH-60 Blachhawk Helicopters
-50 MD530G Scout Attack Choppers
-ScanEagle Military Drones
-30 Military Version Cessnas
-4 C-130’s
-29 Brazilian made A-29 Super Tocano Ground Attack Aircraft
208+ Aircraft Total
-At least 600,000+ Small arms M16, M249 SAWs, M24 Sniper Systems, 50 Calibers, 1,394 M203 Grenade Launchers, M134 Mini Gun, 20mm Gatling Guns and Ammunition
-61,000 M203 Rounds
-20,040 Grenades
-Howitzers
-Mortars +1,000’s of Rounds
-162,000 pieces of Encrypted Military Comunications Gear
-16,000+ Night Vision Goggles
-Newest Technology Night Vision Scopes
-Thermal Scopes and Thermal Mono Googles
-10,000 2.75 inch Air to Ground Rockets
-Recconaissance Equipment (ISR)
-Laser Aiming Units
-Explosives Ordnance C-4, Semtex, Detonators, Shaped Charges, Thermite, Incendiaries, AP/API/APIT
-2,520 Bombs
-Administration Encrypted Cell Phones and Laptops all operational
-Pallets with Millions of Dollars in US Currency
-Millions of Rounds of Ammunition including but not limited to 20,150,600 rounds of 7.62mm, 9,000,000 rounds of 50.caliber
-Large Stockpile of Plate Carriers and Body Armor
-US Military HIIDE, for Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment Biometrics
-Lots of Heavy Equipment Including Bull Dozers, Backhoes, Dump Trucks, Excavators

Much of the information included in the above list is public record.

Today the Taliban has one of the best-equipped militaries on the planet.

And now the Taliban from Afghanistan and Pakistan have joined together to take control of Pakistan.

Despite this the Biden regime is still sending millions of donations to the Taliban regime.

How can this be? And there are no reassurances the funds are not going to the Taliban terrorists and not the people.

Judicial Watch first uncovered this in June of this year.

The U.S. has dropped a ghastly $146 billion on Afghanistan reconstruction in the last two decades and billions more continue to be spent, but the Biden administration is blocking federal auditors from conducting their congressionally mandated job of investigating where the money is going. For months the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has been trying to investigate the abrupt collapse of the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan, if the State Department is complying with laws and regulations prohibiting the transfer of funds to the Taliban and ongoing humanitarian programs supporting the Afghan people. However, the State Department and its offshoot, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), refuse to cooperate as required by law.
This month the head of SIGAR, John F. Sopko, expressed outrage at the State Department’s efforts to obstruct his office’s investigation. In letters to congressional committees and Secretary of State Antony Blinken and USAID Administrator Samantha Power, Sopko reveals that the State Department has blown off more than 20 requests for information from his office in the last eight months. The watchdog writes that the sudden refusal to cooperate is particularly surprising after more than a decade of cooperation. “Billions of dollars have been spent in Afghanistan and billions more continue to be spent,” Sopko writes. “Congress and American taxpayers deserve to know why the Afghan government collapsed after all that assistance, where the money went, and how taxpayer money is now being spent in Afghanistan.”
The State Department recently informed SIGAR, which was created by Congress to provide independent and objective oversight of Afghanistan reconstruction projects and activities, that it would not cooperate with future financial audits. Instead, Sopko writes, the State Department told him from now on it would choose its own auditors. The watchdog reminds the State Department that it is prohibited by law from preventing his office from carrying out its duties and that its authorizing statutes specifically states no officer from the Department of Defense, the Department of State, or the United States Agency for International Development shall prevent or prohibit the Inspector General from initiating, carrying out, or completing any audit or investigation related to amounts appropriated or otherwise made available for the reconstruction of Afghanistan. “It should go without saying, but neither SIGAR’s authorizing statute nor the Inspector General Act of 1978 contain a “choose your own auditor” provision,” Sopko writes to Blinken.
Of greatest concern to the Afghanistan watchdog is the State Department’s refusal to provide basic information for an audit involving efforts to ensure that ongoing programs supporting the people of Afghanistan do not result in the illegal transfer of U.S. taxpayer funds to the Taliban or the Haqqani Network. “The fact that State and USAID would obstruct such oversight work, particularly after the Taliban’s seizure of governmental power in Afghanistan, is unprecedented,” Sopko writes. “Given the express prohibition against State and USAID officials preventing SIGAR from conducting its oversight work, it is also illegal.” The SIGAR concludes by writing that, as the U.S. government continues adding to the billions of dollars that it has already spent in Afghanistan since 2002, U.S. taxpayers deserve objective information concerning where their money is going and to whom it is being given.

Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan was the worst surrender in US history.

It may have been the worst foreign policy move in US history. It was another example of the purposeful destruction of the United States under Joe Biden.

“I Make No Apologies For What I Did” – Joe Biden on His Afghanistan Withdrawal That Resulted in 13 Dead US Service Members (VIDEO)

For the record USAID has a controversial past and has been connected to illegals transported to the US.

This is just one of many organizations that need to be fully audited under the Biden regime.

White House announces $270M military package for UkraineBy NOMAAN MERCHANT and AAMER MADHANIAssociated PressThe Associated PressWASHINGTON

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House announced Friday that the U.S. is sending an additional $270 million in security assistance to Ukraine, a package that will include additional medium range rocket systems and tactical drones.

The latest tranche brings the total U.S. security assistance committed to Ukraine to $8.2 billion since the war began in late February, and is being paid for through $40 billion in economic and security aid f or Ukraine approved. by Congress in May.

The new package includes four High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, and 580 Phoenix Ghost drones, both crucial weapon systems that have allowed the Ukrainians to stay in the fight despite Russian artillery supremacy, according to John Kirby, the White House National Security Council’s coordinator for strategic communications .

Ukrainian forces have used U.S.-made rocket launchers and tactical drones to destroy dozens of Russian targets and hold at bay Russia’s larger and more heavily equipped forces.

Russia can fire far more ammunition but has sustained huge losses of troops and equipment as Ukrainian forces have been equipped with precision weaponry from the U.S. and other Western allies. CIA Director William Burns on Wednesday said the U.S. estimates roughly 15,000 Russian forces have been killed. That death toll would be equivalent to the Soviet Union’s military losses in its 1980s war in Afghanistan, which lasted nearly a decade.

To try to equalize the conflict, Ukraine has made ample use of Western-supplied technologies as it defends its eastern lines.

Ukraine has long sought more HIMARS launchers, which fire medium-range rockets and also can be quickly moved before Russia can target them. On Wednesday, Ukrainian forces reportedly used a HIMARS to hit a strategic bridge in the Russia-occupied southern region of Kherson. One military expert told The Associated Press that the systems have “hardly had any rest during the day or at night.”

U.S. authorities also are providing Ukraine with more guided rockets known as GMLRS. The Pentagon continues to rule out sending longer-range rockets that Ukraine could potentially use to strike deep into Russian territory. That’s a nod to the U.S. trying to manage the risk of Russia instigating a broader war.

The U.S. has already sent 12 truck-mounted HIMARS to Ukraine. The United Kingdom has also provided three launchers of a different kind with GMLRS rockets as well.

Both sides in the war have made ample use of drones. The U.S. had previously committed to sending 121 Phoenix Ghosts to Ukraine. Pentagon officials have not fully disclosed the capabilities of those drones, which were developed by the U.S. Air Force and produced by Aevex Aerospace, which describes itself as a leader in “full-spectrum airborne intelligence solutions.” The drones have onboard cameras and can be used to attack targets.

The U.S. disclosed earlier this month that it believes Russia is planning to obtain several hundred drones from Iran. Iranian drones have previously penetrated Saudi and Emirati air defense systems in the Middle East that were supplied by the U.S. Biden administration officials have tried to publicly discourage Iran from moving forward with the transfer.

The White House released satellite imagery that indicates Russian officials twice visited Iran in June or July for a showcase of weapons-capable drones it is looking to acquire.
