More US political theater: Democratic Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas introduced legislation forbidding construction of a wall on the US-Mexico border unless the government of Mexico pays for it, which will never happen. House Republicans passed a stopgap funding bill that included $5.7-billion appropriated for a border wall, but everyone knows it cannot pass the Senate. It’s just political theater whereby the actors try to look good to their supporters while everyone knows the wall will not be built. -GEG
Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas introduced legislation forbidding construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border — unless Mexico pays for it.
Lee introduced the Protect American Taxpayers and Secure Border Act into the House on Dec. 19, which would “prohibit taxpayer funds from being used to build a wall between Mexico and the United States,” and further require that any barrier constructed on the southern border “be paid for using funds provided by the Government of Mexico.”
She referred the bill to the House Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Homeland Security, and already has four cosponsors: Democratic Reps. Karen Bass of California, Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Joaquin Castro of Texas and Yvette Clarke of New York.
The Texas congresswoman has remained largely silent on the proposed legislation, as have the bill’s other sponsors.
Republican Governor Doug Ducey announced he was building a makeshift border wall using 60 shipping containers to close three gaps, using double stacked shipping containers topped with razor wire.
Privacy is violated as people can be monitored while walking through a neighborhood. Ring keeps detailed records, including every doorbell press and each motion the camera detects, and stores the information. Ring can record audio and conversations up to 20 feet away.
A US Department of Homeland Security contractor described vaccine certificates/ passports as driving “the whole field of digital ID in the future,” adding they are “not just about COVID [but] about something even bigger” and that “once adopted for COVID [they] will be rapidly used for everything else.”
Critics pointed out that Amazon’s other products are also collecting data, including Alexa, which listens to you all day long, Ring watches your front door all day long, OneMedical knows all your secrets, and more. Remember, Amazon has a frightening partnership with the Central Intelligence Agency.

The question of whether Jones’ comments were protected as free speech and freedom of the press were never argued or resolved. The legacy of these cases is expected to have a chilling effect on independent media dealing with freedom-of-speech issues.
The IRS posted duties for prospective new agents, including using “deadly force if necessary” during tax audits. The job listing also called for being willing to “participate in arrests, execution of search warrants and other dangerous assignments.”
Hard coral cover has increased by 33% in the central part of the reef and by 36% in the northern part of the reef, which are at their highest levels in 36 years. The southern area of the reef decreased in cover since 2021 due to starfish that feed on coral.
The Metaverse is a simulation and the military aims to make 3D models, simulations, people and real equipment into a high-fidelity digital twin of the real world.
Those in power are shutting down the oil industry, which will cost millions of lives, maybe more. The EU and Britain have reverted back to burning wood as fuel and nearly 40% of Europe’s renewable energy is wood, and the majority comes from the United States.
The spending bill allocates $80 billion to the IRS with plans to increase its staff with 87,000 new agents. A critic pointed out that the proposal will not reduce inflation, but will instead cause massive job loss and increase household electricity expenses by 23%.

The votes are non-binding and will be used by the Democrats to pretend that they do support law and order because their ‘defund the police’ policies are very unpopular. The non-binding votes will also be used by the Republicans to pretend that they are taking action.
Evers’ administration overstepped its authority when it extended the Coronavirus shutdown for another month, on the orders of unelected bureaucrats in the state Department of Health Services, without discussing it with the state legislators.
Violent crime has skyrocketed in Minneapolis with 74 homicides so far this year, compared to 48 last year. In every case where cities have defunded police and cut police budgets, Democrats made the decision, which has resulted in crime waves that were completely predictable and totally avoidable.

ONE MORE TIME, ASK DHS WHAT THEY DID WITH THE MONEY, as using that money anywhere else but on the border fence is criminal, Misappropriation of Funds. What funds? How about the 1.2 Billion they already received? SECURE FENCE ACT OF 2006. Ratified by Congress, signed into law in 2006. (Oct 26, 2006 signed by G. Bush) Supported and voted for by Dems & Repubs. DHS received 1.2 Billion to fund the wall that was never built. Where is the money? So why was this already planned in, voted for, funded but not built wall used to agitate the people?… Read more »

It’s easy for Trump to get Mexico to build & maintain the Border Wall.
Just offer Mexico goods and/or services which are more valuable than the wall.
