Sign of the times: Biden slaps his name on taxpayer-funded projects

The federal government is on a spending spree and you’re paying for it, but President Biden is taking credit.

The White House is urging federal agencies to put Mr. Biden’s name on signs wherever they spend money. His team has even provided templates to show how to give him top billing.

Sen. Joni Ernst, Iowa Republican, says it’s unseemly and may be against the law.

“Folks, political campaign signs are not infrastructure. It’s obvious the real intent of these posters is to pave the way for Biden’s reelection,” the senator said.

In a letter to the White House, she said the signs are “misusing official government resources for political purposes,” violate “the spirit” of the Highway Beautification Act that restricts billboards along federal roads, and skirt a law she wrote requiring the government to disclose the costs of taxpayer-funded projects.

Signs appearing at projects across the country are drawing attention.

Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, took to social media this month to highlight a sign he saw. He posed for a photo with the sign, which was stabilized by sandbags. It said the construction equipment working in the background was “funded by President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.”

“During my travels across the country, I keep running into these signs. Seems like BIL is a BFD,” Mr. Emhoff wrote.

Joe loves to break the law and then challenges people to stop him cause he knows the GOP is basically useless.

“My right arm is getting achy from reaching in to keep taking out that index card with my name on it for naming all those places. One time I signed the naming contract Try To Act Like You Care About the Audience. Wrong cue card.”🙄

Doesn’t the politician have to be dead before they start naming public buildings after him? Does dementia now qualify having the local post office named after the demented politico?

I lived on Oahu when he lightworker was resident. His stupid name and his stupid logo was on the federal building in Honolulu all 7 years “under construction.”

If you want to witness the genuine stupidity of voters who love these degenerate chomo s apes, go to Hawaii.

I thought that’s who it was, but I wasn’t sure.

“Oahu’ should have been my clue. Duh.

They even had a shrine at the airport dedicated to that POS. I lived in a part of town outside kailua called Lani Kai. It was horrible when that POS went on vacation there. And though they won’t say it many of those homeowners (VERY wealthy liberals) hate him. Especially when they saw how the county fell to their knees to fellate him when it came to construction projects on his property.
