CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WBOY) — West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner (R) said Wednesday that the state will not accept applications “illegally gathered by Federal agents.” At issue is an Executive Order signed by President Joe Biden in March of 2021, but in a press release, Warner said it was just last week that the country’s chief election officials were told on a call with the White House that it’s implementing voter registration policies. Mississippi’s Secretary of State Michael Watson wrote in an op-ed published Wednesday that he “had the chance to ask a White House official about the plans...

The Biden Justice Department continues to claim presidential privilege to block release of its strategic plan to turn out the vote, although at least two other federal agencies have made their plans public. In defending a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act, the Justice Department is keeping under wraps its plans to implement President Joe Biden’s 2021 executive order, under which most federal agencies are required to develop a strategic plan for increasing voter participation in elections. The plaintiff in that case, the Foundation for Government Accountability, contends that privilege claim is undermined by two federal agencies releasing their...

Biden told reporters that he is counting on the border action happening by itself. “When is a border executive action coming?” a reporter asked Biden. “I’m counting on the border action happening by itself,” Biden said. One reporter asked Joe Biden why he’s waiting to take executive action to secure the border after border funding bills have stalled in Congress. “Why are you waiting to take executive action on the border?” a reporter asked Biden. Biden absurdly claimed he has no authority to do anything to secure the border. “We need more forces on the border! I don’t have the...

Mississippi’s Secretary of State (Michael Watson) has sent a letter to President Biden’s Department of Justice asking it to stop enforcing a Biden executive order that he warns is being used to attempt to register ineligible convicts and illegal immigrants to vote. …

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is working with a left-wing advocacy group to boost voter turnout as part of President Joe Biden’s executive order directing federal agencies to get involved in elections. The USDA worked directly with Demos, a New York-based group that helped draft Biden’s Executive Order 14019, according to records obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news outlet.) Biden signed his order on agencies and voter registration in March 2021. On Aug. 9, 2021, Demos’ Adam Lioz emailed USDA officials, many in the office of Secretary Tom Vilsack, under the subject line:...

At an undetermined date, in an undisclosed location, the Biden administration began operating a secretive new court to protect Europeans’ privacy rights under U.S. law. Officially known as the Data Protection Review Court, it was authorized in an October 2022 executive order to fix a collision of European and American law that had been blocking the lucrative flow of consumer data between American and European companies for three years. The court’s eight judges were named last November, including former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Its existence has allowed companies to resume the lucrative transatlantic data trade with the blessing of...

Gov. Mike DeWine signed an executive order on Friday that bans Ohio hospitals and surgical facilities from performing gender transition surgery on transgender minors. The move came one week after DeWine vetoed legislation that would have prevented doctors from prescribing hormones, puberty blockers or surgery before patients turn 18. House Bill 68 also would have prohibited transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams in high school and college. “There’s a broad, broad consensus against surgeries for minors, so let’s put that into a law so we can move on and talk about other things," he said during...

The Biden White House will issue an executive order on Monday in an early effort to regulate the AI industry, per reports. Axios reports that the White House will host an event on ensuring “safe, secure and trustworthy artificial intelligence” at 2:30 pm eastern time on Monday, during which an executive order on the industry is expected to be announced.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida sent 85 pallets worth of cargo to Israel on two successful plane launches under an emergency executive order from Gov. Ron DeSantis. Departing Tuesday, DeSantis’ office said the planes will reach Israel Wednesday. The planes are carrying medical supplies, clothing, hygiene products and toys. “With the lack of leadership in Washington, we are stepping up to help our allies in Israel who are in need of supplies and our support,” DeSantis said. “As we continue to bring back Americans who were stranded in Israel when the war began, we will also keep sending the necessary health...

President Biden issued an executive order Wednesday appointing a federal disaster coordinator to oversee long-term recovery efforts following the fiery derailment of a Norfolk Southern train that released toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio, in February. The executive order, arriving more than seven months after the accident devastated the small Ohio town near the Pennsylvania state line, will direct the Federal Emergency Management Agency to name a coordinator to oversee a comprehensive assessment of any unmet needs that haven’t been addressed by Norfolk Southern and would qualify for federal assistance. This order stops short of a federal disaster declaration, which...

President Joe Biden has issued an executive order holding Norfolk Southern accountable for its involvement in the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, seven months ago. Issued Wednesday, the executive order, which comes seven months after the crash on February 3 of this year, says it is “critical that Norfolk Southern continue to be held fully accountable under the law for this disaster, and continue to provide resources to address the effects in East Palestine and surrounding communities.” “My Administration has mobilized a robust, multi-agency effort to support the people of East Palestine, Ohio, and surrounding communities,” Biden’s order adds.

Boy, I can't think of a better way to employ 20,000 Americans than this gem of an organization right here; we're gonna be the strongest nation in the galaxy after this one. Let's hear it for our leaders in the White House, eh. Seriously though, they really think we need this. "This is important because we're not only opening up pathways to bold climate action, we're not just opening up pathways to decarbonization, we're opening up pathways to good paying careers, lifetimes of being involved in the work of making our communities more sustainable, more fair, more resilient in the...

NASHVILLE — Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee called Tuesday for state lawmakers to pass a law aimed at preventing guns from getting in the hands of people who are a danger to themselves or others. The Republican governor also said he will sign a new executive order later Tuesday aimed at strengthening background checks on firearm purchases.

President Joe Biden issued an executive order that will expand background checks on gun sales, the White House said Tuesday. According to an fact sheet from the White House, Biden traveled to Monterey Park, California, where a mass shooting occurred in January, to announce the order. “The Executive Order will also keep more guns out of dangerous hands by increasing the effective use of ‘red flag’ laws, strengthen efforts to hold the gun industry accountable, and accelerate law enforcement efforts to identify and apprehend the shooters menacing our communities,” the announcement said. “President Biden is also encouraging the Federal Trade...

President Joe Biden apparently plans to make gun control a campaign issue, even if he doesn’t have the votes to pass more gun control laws. On Tuesday, Biden will announce an executive order intended to control the availability of guns as much as he can without going through Congress. He’ll make the announcement in Monterey Park, California, where 72-year-old Huu Can Tran shot and killed eleven people with a semi-automatic pistol in January, during Lunar New Year celebrations. […] President Biden continues to insist on passage of an “assault weapons” ban, a blanket term that could cover many of the...

Under this new digital currency, any transfer of funds to family, friends, charities, or clients would be able to be tracked by the nation's central bank that issued this virtual money. Big Brother will be in your wallet every hour or every day. You will not be able to buy a stick of gum without a Federal Reserve computer knowing where, when, and to whom you just put down a buck. We should be rightfully concerned about inflation, energy independence, aggressor nations armed with nuclear weapons, and woke public policies that denigrate the very foundation of this great country. But...

President Joe Biden signed a new executive order to address racial inequity on Thursday. The Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government is designed to address systemic barriers that hold communities of color back from prospering. The order is Biden’s second racial equity executive order. On his first day in office two years ago, Biden signed Executive Order 13985, which saw funding go to places like Historically Black Colleges and Universities and indigenous tribes and new programs to help close racial disparities in job and housing opportunities. Biden also a pardoned all federal offenses...

Orwell would be proud. Deliberately buried in the Friday evening news cycle, Biden released an Executive Order with dramatic implications for how signals intelligence is collected on individuals throughout the world. Specifically, Biden’s directive repeals restrictions on the use of signals intelligence collection implemented since the Obama Administration https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/10/07/national-security-memorandum-on-partial-revocation-of-presidential-policy-directive-28/ So what was so problematic about the Presidential Policy Directive 28 that Biden Admin had to repeal? https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2014/01/17/presidential-policy-directive-signals-intelligence-activities What could the Biden Administration be gearing up for? Why would they want to relax restrictions on intelligence collecting? Are they planning escalation in Ukraine, escalation in their Domestic War on American Patriots,...
