Way Too Much

 Last week’s story, Spending Lots, detailed how much money is drifting around not only Washington, D.C., but the entire world.


This week has produced another exposé on how much cash is frittered away by the Washington elite on the backs of hard working Americans.


Before the fellow elected to the Office of the President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, decided to run for that office, a man named Donald J. Trump served in that capacity from 2016 through 2020; that is only one term.


Quickly approaching yet another quadrennial presidential election, is a proverbial Congressional wallet that is empty. It is empty because President Biden spent his few short years on the job speding money like no one else in history.


Biden, who was elected with the absolute largest number of votes in United States history, a controversy created by his not leaving his basement during the election, garnering an amazing number of mail-in votes, and doing nothing but complaining about his opponent while on his campaign bus, raised many an eyebrow.


Yes, after 45-years in guvment service, Biden pulled-off the single greatest coup in the history of America. This stunning amount of approval has been generating multi-million dollar voting-related lawsuits and Congressional investigations at near-record levels, too.


Already prepping for the 2024 presidential election, Biden has been attacking his presumed opponent – the aforementioned Donald Trump – non-stop in a concerted effort with the mainstream media (MSM) to stack the deck by repeatedly invoking the contrived phrase, “MAGA Republicans.”


According to White House administration officials, MAGA Republicans are devotees of Donald Trump who created and ran on the slogan “Make America Great Again,” during his initial political run – and what a successful run it was.


Dealing with a slew of problems inherited from the Obama/Biden administration – the immediate previous politicians responsible for ruining America’s racial harmony, total failure of the national infrastructure, and global animosity – Trump, as President, began a crusade of mending and healing our fractured nation to improve life for everyone.


With the MSM’s thumb on the scale of objectivity, along with the intelligence and counterintelligence communities largely working together covertly to present a media case for punishing Trump for fixing what the Democrats intentionally broke.


One major issue was the influx of foreigners from Central and South America pouring across our Southern Border. Trump attempted to stifle this invasion of largely troubled individuals who are: unvaccinated, non-English speaking and reading, unskilled, undisciplined, lawless, and unhirable.


This earnest effort led to a solution grounded in building a physical wall composed of steel, and reaching between 18 and 30 feet in height. To achieve this goal, Trump attempted to contract the materials and labor out from the then-Democratically-controlled Congress.


He needed an estimated $5,000,000,000, to complete this barrier to ensure our nation would be safe from invasion, not to mention illegal drug flow. Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer, both denied President Trump funding for this ambitious project.


As an end-around play, Trump then attempted to use the U.S. Military to build the wall, only to be summarily stopped by the anti-American Congress at that time.


Legal gymnastics imposed by frivolous annoying lawsuits hampered any and all means to secure our citizens from most preventable dangers. In this instance, it’s unfortunate that Congress controls the purse, thereby preventing the President from spending guvment money on his pet project(s).


Homeland Security was given a reallocated $600,000,000 from a Treasury Department forfeiture fund for continuation of this much-needed border wall, a project that continued until Inauguration Day of Joseph Biden in 2021. That’s when Biden signed an Executive Order eliminating the continued building of the national lifesaver.


This clear dereliction of duty on Biden’s behalf has resulted in a disastrous display of foreign migrants flooding the Southern Border to receive their just desserts: free housing, free food, free debit cards, free cellular phones, free school, free medical care, free college, free medications, free driver’s licenses and finally, the ability to vote.


Since his inauguration, an estimated 5,000,000 aliens crossed the border, most of whom had no paperwork, no identification, no vaccines for anything from polio and smallpox to COVID-19; many of whom – although entry is virtually guaranteed – still slithered across the border surreptitiously.


But it’s the $200,000,000 border wall funding that is important in this story. Alejandro Mayorkas is the Homeland Security Secretary in the Biden Administration. Mayorkas, who always publicly speaks as though he is inebriated, has been called before Congress on several occasions to explain how 5,000,000 aliens were able to cross the border without resistance.


Hapless Alejandro Mayorkas once again
insisting, "The border is closed."

On each appearance, Mayorkas has simply said, “The border is closed,” in his best defense. Recognizing a lack of candor, Congress has demanded Mayorkas reappear to field more questions about his handling of our sieve-like protection.


According to Stephen Dinan of The Washington Times, “Some $200,000,000 in wall money will expire at the end of this fiscal year in September [2023], said House Appropriations Committee Chair Kay Granger, Texas Republican. Another $2.6 billion more will expire in coming years, she said”


The question was repeated over and over, but the secretary wouldn’t give a straight answer,” Dinan’s article continues.


I can assure you that we will comply with all our legal obligations,” Mayorkas said.


Well, that’s refreshing! The Homeland Security Secretary assures us he will comply with all his legal obligations. It doesn’t appear to matter that that is his job. And letting billions of already allocated monies go unused, collecting dust, while Biden is adamant he will not interact with the Republican Congress to avoid the upcoming default on our National Debt loan, borders on criminal.


It’s about time to rid America of Mayorkas, and the Biden Organized Crime Family. How about a nice impeachment? And while Congress is at it, throw Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in, for good measure.
