| Biden's Agenda Smashes into Reality | |
| 2021-02-10 | |
| [Just the News] A month ago, Team Biden and its Democrat allies in Congress had a heady plan to appease their liberal base. Impeach Donald Trump a second time, alleging he incited the Capitol riots. Blast out COVID-19 vaccines, and pass another stimulus. Impose climate policies. And raise the minimum wage nationally to $15 an hour. Just a few short weeks into Joe Biden's presidency, those liberal ambitions have crashed into stark economic and political realities. Richard Trumka, the head of the AFL-CIO that spent millions to get Biden elected, excoriated the new president's climate policies this past weekend for erasing thousands of well-paying union jobs with the shutdown of the Keystone pipeline from Canada.
A new poll by Just the News added to the red flags Monday, showing a solid majority of Americans believed raising the minimum wage would be a job killer. Twenty days into his presidency, Biden's purported hopes for a bipartisan COVID stimulus bill foundered for lack of Republican buy-in. Dad-gum Pubs never cooperate when you need 'em! And now even some Democrats, like former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, are questioning whether the current $1.9 trillion price tag is too much. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also warned that inflation may soon rear its ugly head with all of the government's deficit spending, saying it was a "risk" of the Biden stimulus plan. Gas prices, which hit the working class hard, are showing signs of creeping up. Meanwhile, talk of rapidly vaccinating Americans slammed into the reality of supply shortages and highly disorganized local health care systems, as well as fears that new variants of the coronavirus are poised to create long-term challenges. And the emotionally charged case that Trump incited the Capitol riot with his Jan. 6 speech, has developed deep cracks. Less than a half dozen Republicans have shown any interest in conviction as the facts increasingly show the riot was not spontaneous but rather planned for days and weeks with fund-raising, training, and combat threats.

| #7 So let me get this straight. �� We have a President with dementia. An ex call girl for a Vice President. A transvestite over our Health and Human Services. A President's son who is a crackhead, a human trafficking pedophile who money laundered billions from other countries sharing half with his dad. A crackheads buddy is the Head of the DEA. Hunters other buddy is now in the Dept of JUSTICE?? A guy who is sleeping with the Chinese SPY is over our Homeland Security!? �� We are borrowing all of our money now from China!! Hundreds of Thousands of Immigrants are coming in for OUR Jobs and Social Security Benefits. �� AND... they are still focusing on impeaching a President that’s not there anymore! Add this in with the 40,000 jobs lost in the 1st week! Yet Biden is pro America?? You can’t make this crap up People!�� |

| #5 Trumka had to know that Biden would shut down the Keystone pipeline. His criticism of Biden was to pacify his membership. But will he endorse any Republicans in the next election? |
