The soon-to-expire Biden administration is behaving as if an invading overseas energy is about to take over and the home should be burned all the way down to maintain the “invaders” from succeeding.
Prior to now few weeks, the cynicism meter has ticked up a number of notches due to the choices made by the outgoing president and others in his administration. First got here the pardons of Hunter Biden, after which roughly 1,500 others, together with a former Pennsylvania choose who used his non-public jail system to incarcerate juveniles, pocketing the income. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) ripped the pardon, saying Biden received it “completely improper” in what has been known as a “children for money” scandal.
Among the many different questionable pardons and clemencies was one Biden issued for Rita Crundwell, the previous comptroller of Dixon, Illinois. Crundwell was convicted in 2013 and sentenced to just about 20 years in jail for stealing over 20 years virtually $54 million from the city of 15,000 individuals. It’s mentioned to have been the most important municipal fraud in U.S. historical past. Crundwell, now 71, admitted to embezzling from the town, and utilizing the stolen funds to assist a lavish life-style. In accordance with WTTW, “Officers recovered solely $40 million of the stolen metropolis cash from court docket settlements, the work of auditors and proceeds from the liquidation of Crundwell’s belongings.
Biden has been partaking in a hearth sale of metal boundaries ordered through the earlier Trump administration to construct a wall and safe the southern border. These had been supplies paid for with taxpayer cash. It’s a part of what seems to be a cynical plan to frustrate the incoming Trump crew and make their border-control job tougher. I don’t recall a transition like this in our historical past.
Then got here the drones. The administration claims they don’t seem to be from U.S. adversaries and pose no risk to public security. They’ve additionally claimed to know nothing about them. In the event that they know nothing, how can they assert they don’t seem to be from overseas entities and won’t hurt individuals? The drones have been seen for weeks over New Jersey and New York and have these days been noticed over California and Nevada. A girl known as right into a D.C. discuss present and mentioned she and her daughter had seen 30 drones flying over Southern Maryland. Ex-Maryland Republican Governor Larry Hogan has posted footage of what he says are drones flying over his residence within the D.C. suburbs. With no credible info coming from the Biden administration, conspiracy theorists are in full swing, together with accusations of a cover-up.
Whereas New York Metropolis Mayor Eric Adams (D) says he’ll cooperate with the incoming Trump administration in eradicating migrants within the nation illegally, even from his “sanctuary metropolis,” different Democrat mayors and governors are promising to withstand deporting even those that have dedicated crimes and to “Trump-proof” their cities and states. Incoming “border czar” Tom Homan has promised to ship groups of brokers into resisting cities and states managed by Democrat politicians and take away migrants. An October Fox Information ballot signifies they’ve the assist of an awesome majority of Individuals.
In accordance with the ballot of registered voters, assist for deportation has elevated dramatically since 2015. “Amongst nonwhite voters, 57 % now assist mass deportations, whereas solely 33 % mentioned they did in 2015. Moreover, 91 % of Republicans now say they assist deportations – a 21-point enhance since 2015. Rural voters’ assist has risen by 20 factors, city voters by 19 factors, and males’s assist elevated by 16.” Even Democrat assist for deportations has elevated to 42 % from 34 % in 2015.
It doesn’t seem to matter to the Biden administration, which has 5 weeks to go. They’re behaving as if Vice President Kamala Harris, not Trump, received the election and voters could be ignored.
The second Trump administration can have a whole lot of cleansing as much as do. If their promised insurance policies are proven to work, search for public approval to stay excessive as they and a GOP congressional majority search to reverse the harm attributable to the Biden administration.
