Saturday News Roundup: Joe Biden Understands That Pork is What Makes Congress’s World Go Round

Man, that’s a damn odd side effect, doc. – Watch out for that Moderna vaccine, folks. Turns out it does weird stuff to your eyes, according to Dr. Qanta Ahmed, who appeared on Fox & Friends Saturday morning:

Ok, that’s a joke. Everyone get it? Don’t send me any nasty emails like some of you did in response to that bit of satire I posted about Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas eve. Thanks.

I’m just waiting for the FBI to tell me what happened so I can know for certain sure what didn’t happen. – That’s honestly how I feel about the FBI “investigation” into the bombing in Nashville that took place on Christmas morning. Whatever the FBI tells us, we can be pretty much 100% certain that it is not correct. Whether it’s just out of gross incompetence or outright lying, we can all rest assured that the FBI under Christopher Wray will put out a narrative about the bombing that will be false. Because that’s what the FBI does in the 21st Century – it is the Bureau’s true core competency.

Nashville PD sent out this tweet late Friday Night identifying what they believe is the vehicle that exploded:

It looks like about a 30-year-old RV, which means this could all be the plot of some network TV show gone terribly wrong. [Seriously, you can always predict which car on a network TV show is going to be wrecked, run off of a bridge or exploded simply because it is always the only car shown on that particular episode that is more than 15 years-old. The networks do not blow up or wreck brand new automobiles because they’re too expensive. However, they do wreck or blow up brand new cars on cable or Netflix. It’s a rule or something.]

Ok, no, obviously this is a serious deal and it’s just a damn shame our country no longer possesses a serious and competent federal law enforcement agency to investigate what was clearly a terrorist attack of some sort anymore. What we will get instead is some narrative written on the 7th floor of the J. Edgar Hoover Building and fed to that hundreds of FBI/Intel Community plants that work in all of the national media outlets once the agency figures out that this attack on one of America’s great cities was committed by some clown or group of clowns that they’ve had under surveillance for several years and did nothing about.

Because that’s what always happens with attacks like this and the FBI-led “investigations” that follow. It’s all butt-covering all the time at your FBI.

This is the only time anyone in congress pays attention to a presidential budget request. – Democans and Republicrats in congress are out in the corrupt news media claiming – as NY Cong. Peter King did yesterday – that all of the pork requests contained in their $2.4 trillion looting of the U.S. treasury were contained in the presidential budget request.

Yes, friends, that would be the same presidential budget request that basically every member of congress declared to be “dead on arrival” when it was issued back in February or March. But that was then and this is now, and now they want to pretend that a $2.4 trillion package that contains less than $350 billion in actual COVID relief funding is an emergency for the constituents back home, constituents who these very same members of congress helped to put out of work.

San Fran Nan and Chuck Schumer are out there pretending to be trying to accommodate the President’s demand to beef up the amount of one-time payments to certain Americans from $600 to $2000 by proposing legislation that would do only that. They of course ignore President Trump’s demand that all the billions in wasteful spending be cut out of the legislation at the same time.

Because, let’s face it: Pork spending is how members of congress buy favors from foreign governments and domestic corporations. That $150 million that congress approved to spend on “gender studies” in Burma is in that bill because some member or members of congress want to bribe the Burmese government in exchange for some future favor, such as the ability to buy in to some sweet real estate or other business deal at a bargain basement price. That’s why that money is in that bill, not for any altruist reason.

This is how members of congress whose only visible means of making a living is the ~$175,000 annual salary the receive manage to become fabulously wealthy after just a few years in public “service.” It’s how Dianne Feinstein and her husband have managed to become worth upwards of a billion dollars. It’s how San Fran Nan can afford that palatial, walled-un San Francisco estate, and $30k worth of refrigerators. It’s how Harry Reid, who was near-dead-broke when first elected to congress, retired as a hundred millionaire.

Pork spending, and the favors it buys at taxpayer expense, is what makes serving in congress worth doing for most of the people who ended up getting elected to one of those 535 seats.

President Trump doubled down yesterday on his demands to beef up the COVID payments and cut the pork. Anyone who believes congress is going to give up that pork spending doesn’t understand why these people ran for those jobs in the first place. The Democans and Republicrats will gladly just keep trying to shunt blame off onto the current President for the next 25 days and then pass the same set of bills all over again when the next president is installed on January 20.

Because, if that next President is China Joe Potato Head Biden, they know without any doubt at all that those bills will be signed, albeit with a gentleman’s agreement on the understanding that the “Big Guy” gets a cut of the future kickbacks.

That is all.

This is how members of congress whose only visible means of making a living is the ~$175,000 annual salary the receive manage to become fabulously wealthy after just a few years in public “service.”

But only if they play ball with the special interests and the Deep State.

If you piss off the Deep State, then your every financial transaction will be scrutinized by the Deep State and Deep Press. That's why the GOP Establishment prefers to remain in the minority, where they can pretend to oppose pork and corruption, while collecting benefits.

[AndyJackson]

The Congress could pass itself a $2M / year salary and taxpayer funded reelection fund of $5M / house seat and $100M per senate seat and the cost would be a tiny fraction of what the present corrupt system costs us. It wouldn’t even be rounding error in the present budget.

No no no, Congre$$ just works for the people....in Congre$$

THIS JUST IN: GA Gov. Kemp and CA Gov. Newsom bought off by communist China in covid supplies kickback and money laundering schemes
Channel 411 News ^ | November 24, 2020 | HEALTH RANGER / FR Posted by george76

In July 2020, Natural News reported California Gov. Gavin Newsom was caught wiring half a billion tax dollars to communist China in a “massive face mask money laundering scheme.” Back in April, even the mainstream media was questioning what Newsom was up to when it was revealed that he had wired half a billion tax dollars to an electric car company in China to supposedly purchase “N-95 masks” for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19).......it never voted on or approved by legislators, and when pressed about the details, Newsom refused to disclose them.

Keep in mind that the half a billion tax dollars was just the first of two installments amounting to a full billion dollars being sent to China to supposedly purchase face masks for Californians – face masks that never actually arrived......--Snip--

Joe Biden and The Biden Crime Family dove headfirst into China's money laundering Covid-19 mask scheme.
The opportunistic Biden also raised campaign cash w/ his "mask mandate" on his website joebiden.com

CNBC.COM..Wed, Nov 11 2020, By Cory Stieg

Lookout taxpayers.....when Biden wears that worn out "trust me face" with appropriate frown, he's up to no dam good. ha

NARRATIVE --snip-- Biden announced a new coronavirus task force that consists of 13 physicians, public health experts and researchers, and outlined via a seven-point plan how his administration will address the pandemic. (He also laid out plans for economic recovery, racial justice and climate change.) So, how will Biden’s plan change daily life during the pandemic? Here’s what you need to know: More mask mandates says Biden---- While there has been no national mandate, Biden plans to “implement mask mandates nationwide by working with governors and mayors,” according to the Biden-Harris transition website. Biden plans to personally call governors and mayors of major cities to encourage mask mandates, NBC News reported Sunday. --snip--- On the campaign trail, Biden said he supported national mask mandates in all federal buildings and all interstate transportation (which doesn’t currently exist), something that could be achieved through an executive order. --snip-- “Please, I implore you, wear a mask,” Biden said in a press conference Monday after meeting with his coronavirus advisory board. “Do it for yourself. Do it for your neighbor. A mask is not a political statement, but it is a good way to start pulling the country together.”

=================================

(HAT TIP THINDEN: this Covid deal resembles the shady Obama/Biden-era Madison Guarantee/Savings Loan crisis on steroids, as follows:
<><> loans, handouts, govt purchases, and grants go to hand-picked entities and/or corporations...
<><> for public consumption, “straw man” entities go belly up & default....
<><> but the real money is moving through several stops on the way to Cyprus, off-shore banks, etc, for laundering...
<><> the laundered funds are then split;
<><> the usual cast of greedsters in line to cash in: pols of all stripes, Soros, The Clinton Foundation, Obama, Hunter Biden and the Biden Crime Family, etc.....
<><> Another version has bigtime US govt handouts, grants, foreign aid, (and IMF loans like the $5 bill to Ukraine).
