How Many Lies In The First Days?

Let's do a short list.

I respect all women. This is why your teen-age daughter now has to look at a dick in the high school locker room while showering. Oh, you weren't paying attention to that? Biden, on his first day, signed an E/O mandating that boys who "feel like girls" may not only use the locker and restroom facilities that match their professed feelings but that female sport teams must allow them to play "as girls" too under penalty of loss of all federal funds. If and when schools reopen, that is. How "woke" of you to force, under government mandate, your teen daughter to stare at a (likely erect too given all the***** said boy will get to see in full view) penis when attempting to take a shower after gym class never mind her inability to enjoy a fair athletic competition in the first place. This has destroyed all girls athletic sports - cross-country, track, softball, tennis, soccer, basketball and more. Every sports scholarship currently available to girls has also been destroyed as said "equal opportunity" means a physical boy will win all of them. I wonder how all the millions of "soccer moms" who voted for Biden feel about their daughters starting at dicks in locker rooms, say much less the annihilation of fair competition and scholarship money that occurred on the literal first day of Biden's Administration?

I will not ban fracking. Except -- he not only banned all fracking permits on federal land he banned all regular drilling permit issuance too. Remember, Biden was directly challenged on this during the campaign and said he would not do it and those who claimed he would were lying. Less than 24 hours after being inaugurated he did exactly what he said he would not do and between that and the Keystone pipeline he screwed tens of thousands of people out of their jobs in one day. Several states, including New Mexico and Pennsylvania, both of which were critical to Biden's win in the Electoral College, will have their residents get it in both holes. Multiple unions -- including those representing pipeline workers -- supported Biden. You have to love the stupidity of voting yourself right onto the unemployment line literally on the first day of a new Administration!

I have a plan to beat Covid-19. So was the claim. But one day post-inauguration Biden admitted on national television we cannot change the trajectory of the disease. In other words he admitted that all the mandates, lockdowns, mask orders and similar did nothing and will do nothing. The Democrat Governors and Mayors "coincidentally" reopened indoor dining and similar in their states on a mass-basis within 72 hours of the inauguration. Biden repeatedly said he had a plan to stop Covid-19 during the campaign, accusing Trump of intentionally letting people die. He lied and while that admission only took 24 hours it did not come with an E/O to demand that all mandates, restrictions on business and such be immediately lifted since he declared they have no value; quite the opposite, he signed a "federal property and interstate transport" mask mandate on all federal lands and property which both he and members of his staff immediately violated, repeatedly, both at the Lincoln Memorial (Federal Property) and in the White House (Federal Building) with this stated excuse being that he was "celebrating" (!!) at the Lincoln Memorial and thus did not have to follow his own order.

I will rejoin the WHO immediately. He did -- the same WHO that deliberately worked with China to conceal the outbreak of Covid-19 and has refused to label China as having done so. This is also the same WHO that knew about the NIH gain-of-function research funded at the Wuhan lab -- the lab where, it is suspected, Covid-19 was accidentally released from. Worse, he appointed Fauci from the very same NIH that funded the research at Wuhan that likely created Covid-19 in the first place, as his emissary to the WHO! To rub salt in the gaping wound of the fear porn all have created over the last nine months the WHO also, on the very day of the inauguration, released guidance pointing out what the inventor of the PCR test himself, for which he won a Nobel, said long before Covid-19 (sadly, he has passed away): It is incapable by design of diagnosing disease and thus absent symptoms a PCR test cannot be used to call someone "infected." The WHO clearly knew this all the way back to the start of the pandemic and thus their timing is transparently political. The implication is quite clear: The WHO and NIH were all in on the creation of Covid in the first place in the Wuhan lab, in fact the NIH funded the work and neither, nor any of the people in either organization, have been or will be held to account for it.

Vote blue in the Georgia runoffs and $2,000 checks will go out to everyone immediately. A blatant, in-your-face offer of a bribe to the voting public in exchange for votes for specific candidates and arguably a felony for that reason. He wasn't telling the truth, but do you really expect those who are breaking the law by explicitly promising money in exchange for votes to keep their promises? There will be no $2,000 check; maybe $1,400, but not the $2,000 that was promised.

Biden immediately destroyed even more international travel, both business and leisure; specifically all international air travel. All international flights, starting January 26th irrespective of where they originate and irrespective of your prior infection or vaccination status will require you to have a negative current Covid-19 test paid for at your own expense and processed within the prior three days before arrival back into the US. If you can't get one for whatever reason you cannot fly. This renders all international business travel virtually impossible and will drop leisure international travel to an effective zero since you can trivially get stranded overseas for an indeterminate amount of time and, if it occurs, its at your expense. That's another few million jobs down the ****ter, on purpose.

I'll raise the minimum wage. Ok, that one he apparently will actually try to do through legislation. But -- since the cheapest price for labor is zero, and there are multiple places where zero is the minimum wage -- that is, where literal forced labor and slavery are legal such as China -- this will simply force more labor overseas and cost millions of jobs. There was not announced (and will not be) any sanction on China, DRC or anywhere else related to forced and child labor to prevent this exploitation and millions of lost jobs here in the US as a consequence.

We must add to the "help" for consumers due to Covid-19. Except that dollars in-hand don't matter, only what dollars buy matters. Do you care if you get another $1,400 one time if your power bill goes up by $2,000/year, gas is $7/gallon, your grocery bill doubles and mass-transit used by many of said people in the cities skyrockets in cost-per-ride by 100% or more? Think it won't? Oh yes it will; the cost of energy translates into everything and shutting down production of energy here means prices will rise -- a lot.

We must protect renters from eviction through (more) forbearance. That's nice. How does the landlord pay property taxes when he has no rent coming in? What do you think funds all that local and county government "stuff" you like? How is it provided when the property taxes can't be paid? How does the landlord, many of whom are small business people with families, put food on their family's table when there is no money coming in? What happens when the moratorium inevitably ends and the rent money -- now nearly a year's worth due all at once -- was spent on other things? Oh, and those jobs that will be sent to China and taken by illegals in the interim? They're the jobs renters need to be able to ultimately pay said rent.

"Build Back Better." Unfortunately Biden signed an E/O on 1/21 that directs OSHA to strictly enforce all regulations relating to Covid-19. This, if OSHA actually does it, completely destroys nearly all manufacturing and employment in the United States for the duration of Covid-19. I happen to be well aware of OSHA rules when it comes to respiratory protection and the regulations are clear and unambiguous. Only an NIOSH-approved respirator tested and approved (which means no Chinese or other supply without said approval) for the specific hazard in question (a virus in this case), properly fit tested and used strictly within the parameters of the label, is legal under OSHA regulations to protect a worker present in an atmosphere where that specific hazard is present in concentrations sufficient to cause possible harm. No worker may be allowed to enter a place with such an atmosphere without said protection. This means at minimum NIOSH-certified N95s with proper fit testing and verification, including record-keeping, worn only within the labeled exposure limits (typically no more than 2 or 4 hours) after which they must be replaced and no re-use after being removed is permitted. What's worse is that it is conceivable that under the regulations you would be required to segregate any contaminated items and prove proper disposal since once worn they are hazardous biological waste. Documentation of compliance down to serialized items consumed from the point of issue to proper disposal may be required for inspection on demand. Thirty years ago my company wrote software to track this stuff for an asbestos abatement company; the record-keeping requirements are unbelievable standing alone. I hope OSHA tells Biden to pound sand on this or find some way to make it not-ridiculous but the text of the regulations is clear if one accepts that potential presence of Covid-19 renders an atmosphere in a workplace hazardous.
We're not even getting to that which hasn't been proved to be a lie yet -- these are just the lies in the first 36 hours that Joe Biden himself proved through his own actions.

So about hating the Orange Man so much you voted for the other guy, even though you knew he was a senile, lying dirtbag, had a 40 year record of ****ing you up the ass as a lawmaker, including screwing people of color with so-called "criminal justice reform" and who has a son that loves hard drugs and, it appears, may like abusing kids too including ones in his own family yet instead of turning him into the cops and sending him to the slammer, justly so, he apparently used him as a conduit to get rich.

Your vote was repaid by immediately screwing your daughter out of fair athletic competition and forcibly exposing her to boy's genitalia in locker rooms, destroying tens of thousands of jobs in one day and millions over the next couple of months in the energy sector, forcing higher over the coming months and years the cost of heating fuel, electricity, diesel fuel and gasoline, all of which you will pay for in the cost of everything you buy, causing the price of essential medications for low-income diabetics and those with severe allergies to skyrocket, further destroying and in fact intentionally bankrupting small landlords (most of whom are families reliant on said rental income), deliberately destroying millions of international hospitality-related jobs in the United States, issuing Covid-19 related mandates that he has stated himself are worthless and admitting that he never had a plan to do anything about Covid-19 in the first place; that it was simply beyond his or anyone else's ability to fix and would play out as has every other respiratory virus in the history of mankind.

Oh, and let us not forget that he also militarized the Capitol, an unprecedented act even in wartime, fencing it off and putting nearly three divisions of troops there while demanding "purity tests and investigation" for every member of said National Guard while issuing no magazines against the alleged "threat" (which was a paranoid fantasy, by the way) because, it is claimed, he was afraid his own troops would frag both of them.

All of this in 36 hours -- and you gave this five-alarm ******* and his self-admitted ***** of a VP who sucked-and-****ed her way to political power four years. May I remind you that if and when he is removed under the 25th Amendment for blatant incapacity, has another stroke or chokes to death as a result of Covid-19 she will screw you even worse, treating you with the very same "respect" she showed black people who were prosecuted by her and tossed in jail for smoking weed while she was toking on a joint herself.

Now you know why you don't vote "against" people and you do not put up with this sort of **** -- ever -- from people who run for any office, say much less President and those of you who are members of a political party have a solemn duty to stop said party from posting up such dirtbags before they can ever get on the ballot.

You now get to learn the hard way the price of being stupid.

Look up "Mr. Hands" for what all of us -- and our families -- are about to get.
