Assuming nobody shows up to burn down Capitol Hill on Wednesday (still a big assumption, I know), Joe Biden’s team, leading with Ron Klain, is trumpeting a “blitz” of executive orders that the incoming president plans to sign on the day of his inauguration, with many more to come over the course of the first ten days. Many of these plans went almost unmentioned during Joe’s basement campaign, while others received a bit of air time, but are going much further than what he mentioned on the campaign trail. Should we be taking the time to point out that Biden frequently complained about Donald Trump’s use of executive orders to “bypass Congress,” after having nothing bad to say about Barack Obama doing the same thing when Uncle Joe was the veep? Of course. But what’s the point, really? “It’s clever when we do it but it’s evil when they do it” is standard fare in American politics.
Immigration
Biden will immediately end the travel ban imposed on “several Muslim-majority countries.” He’s not saying which ones yet, but Biden is obviously going to try to reheat the “Muslim ban” talk while ignoring the large number of terrorists who seek to enter our country from particular areas. At the same time, some of those countries are currently being overwhelmed with COVID outbreaks, but I suppose we’re supposed to ignore that for now.
Further, he will (somehow) create an “8-year path to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally.” That’s right. Amnesty. You didn’t hear Joe going that far on the campaign trail. And in case you’re wondering, he’s not just talking about the “dreamers” here. We know that because Klain specified that there would be “a faster track” for those who qualified for DACA. So does this mean that Joe Biden plans to effectively “abolish ICE” now? After all, what’s the point in having an immigration enforcement agency if nobody can be deported and everyone winds up winning the citizenship lottery after violating our laws?
Face Mask Mandate
As you will recall, Biden never came out and said he would issue a mask mandate during the primary or the general election debates. But then, after he was declared the winner, he said he would issue a federal mandate. So now, even as we’re vaccinating people by the millions and supposedly easing our way out of the pandemic, Joe Biden will issue an executive order requiring the wearing of face masks “on federal property and during interstate travel.”
Keep in mind that “federal property” includes a lot more than just the District of Columbia. It includes every federal courthouse and administrative building in the country. And what sort of “interstate travel” is he talking about? Does this mean it will be a federal rule that you have to wear a mask in your car while crossing state lines? Yeah. Just try enforcing that one, Joe. This is a joke and I won’t be complying, I can assure you.
Climate Change
On day one, Biden is promising to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. We’ve beaten this topic to death here over the years, but nothing much has really changed. The Paris Agreement is a treaty in all but name. Treaties are supposed to be approved by the Senate. Obama never should have signed onto it and Biden’s willingness to lock our country into subservience to some global cabal of eco-warriors using nothing more than “the pen and the phone” is an insult. We saw Democrats using the courts to challenge any number of Trump’s executive orders over the past four years. Republicans need to adopt the same tactic from day one and get an injunction against this decision before Biden has had time to change the drapes in the Oval Office.
Debt Forgiveness, Etc.
Some additional executive orders will include an extension to the federal moratorium on evictions and foreclosures along with a renewal of the “pause on student loan payments.” We’ve covered the eviction crisis here extensively, not just from the perspective of renters but the crushing damage these mandates have done to landlords. Biden is probably going to wind up putting a significant portion of the mom and pop, small business landlords into bankruptcy. (Some of them are already there or close to it.)
As far as the student loan situation goes, I’ve never been clear on how the federal government can push its snout into the private sector banking industry without action by Congress. Giving the chief executive the power to do this with no legislative oversight seems as if it can’t be constitutional. And yet, it turned out to be another power that seemed to be handed over on a silver platter using the pandemic as an excuse. This is another order that needs to be hit with a court injunction before it takes root.
Later in the first ten days, Klain promised that Biden would sign executive orders relating to “criminal justice reform.” Hoo boy. They aren’t offering any specifics yet, but you can all guess where this is going. Despite having denied supporting either defunding or abolishing the police prior to the election, it’s obvious that Status Quo Joe will have the cops in his sights early in his administration. But has he made any mention of executive orders designed to stem the surge in violent crime in cities around the nation? Nope. You haven’t heard a peep about that, and you’re not likely to in the near future.
Welcome to the Biden presidency. This probably wouldn’t be a bad time to stock up on guns, ammunition and supplies if you haven’t done so already. The era of the federal government prioritizing law and order ends at noon on Wednesday.
26,000 troops. We must remember that every illegal overthrow of a duly elected president or government always involves the military. This coup d’état of the United States is no different.
“Further, he will (somehow) create an “8-year path to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally.””
Here’s what “8 years means”. They said 5 years residency, then three years after that, you get citizenship. That will mean if you have resided here illegally for 5 years, you will get citizenship in 2023, a year before the next election.
Martial Law is our only chance at survival!!!
President Trump simply cannot walk or fly away Wednesday morning. He must take whatever action necessary to retain power and uphold his solemn oath to defend Our sacred Constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC!!
Otherwise, we will certainly perish, his great work will be undone and no one will ever be able to revive our Republic!!!
Joe Manchin is the domestic President of the US.
“I’ve never been clear on how the federal government can push its snout into the private sector banking industry without action by Congress. Giving the chief executive the power to do this with no legislative oversight seems as if it can’t be constitutional.”
What a wonderful sense of humor he has. “Constitutional”, lol. Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Amy Conehead Barrett will stop it because it’s “unconstitutional”. LOL. Yeah sure.
LOL yeah, sure. They have to follow the same rules Trump did. LMAO.
I’m praying he dies of a heart attack on the steps down to the swearing in. Falls down the steps and takes out kameltoe. They both roll into Nazi Pelosi and go over the ledge. Nazi is hanging on the the ledge about to plunge over. She yells for someone to help her up. No one does. Thump. The entire scene is caught on CNN. Ratings go thru the roof over the reply. Pulitzer prize awarded to CNN.. Trump inaugurated for 4 more years.
All red states should reject anything Biden and Congress want. They can cheat in elections we can opt out of their govt control. Let’s see them try to militarily occupy all the red states.
"Hecklers Crash Gore Call
By ABC News, January 6, 2006W A S H I N G T O N, Oct. 18, 2000 -- An apparently freelance band of conservative Republicans crashed a conference call today to heckle Al Gore’s campaign staff.
Ron Klain, senior adviser to the Democratic presidential candidate, and spokesman Doug Hattaway were repeatedly drowned out by noise and insults as they tried to outline campaign strategy to national reporters. Somehow, restricted dial-in information and passwords for the call made their way to Free Republic, an online discussion board for conservatives.
Low-Brow Protests
As Klain and Hattaway tried to criticize Republican candidate George W. Bush’s plans and tout those of Gore, the intruders belched, made chicken noises and called people “socialist slimebags.” One even flushed a toilet into the phone.
“When is Al Gore campaigning in China?” one heckler asked.
“That was me belching,” another call-crasher boasted on the discussion board after burping into the phone.
“Is there anyone left on this line who is not either a Gore campaign staffer or a Bush saboteur?” asked a frustrated reporter from the Tampa Tribune.
Hostile Takeover
Some of the hecklers even posed as reporters, and drew the Gore aides into answering their questions. Some of the real reporters left the call in a huff after it erupted into a riot of button-pushing tones, shouting and laughing.
“What a bunch of idiots,” an angry call participant huffed.
“Yeah, baby,” a triumphant call-crasher replied.
The intruders stayed on the line after the Gore staff and reporters left to use the teleconference room."
Start arresting and jailing illegals.
Martial Law is our only chance at survival!!!

Too late for that. Even if those 25,000 troops occupying the Capitol were they’re at Trumps behest, they would not follow any of his orders at this point
Bears repeating, over and over and over and...
Federal District Courts should be able to stop in-coming Presidents from altering the previous Presidents’s Executive Orders.......
“And what sort of “interstate travel” is he talking about? Does this mean it will be a federal rule that you have to wear a mask in your car while crossing state lines?”
Why would you need to cross state lines? Biden could just decree masks be worn on any interstate highway. Or perhaps any place that received federal funding. Have the FBI stakeout some little one-lane bridge that had some portion of it paid by the Feds, your home if you used a VA loan, etc.
Shock and Awe for the first while, but I will be wanting to see how things are in a few weeks or months and I wonder if things will be honestly happy in Democratland. I could be wrong, but something tells me otherwise.
Jock up and get ready to roll.
One issue that is gonna get real interesting is the rent moratorium.
I would expect to see small landlords start walking away from their properties (in significant numbers) and handing the keys to the lenders.
That will lead to deterioration of those properties and creation of new and worse slums.
Welcome to Bidet-ville—the land of poverty and filth.
