Why is this ok? This is CBS News with a video clip of a boy found wandering across the border between Mexico and Texas, so you can be sure there is no right-wing bias. It breaks my heart that children are being abandoned and dumped not only by their families, but by the bands of people they walk with. This makes me sick.  A situation has been created where there are kids that were was abandoned by mom and dad some time ago, or stolen and were left to walk with some group which then abandoned him as well. This kid’s whole goal was to make it into the U.S.  He’s not the only one.

Just prior to the election last year (October 21^st, 2020), there were 545 children in U.S. custody where the government couldn’t seem to find their parents.  The news headline said “Parents of 545 Children Separated at the Border Cannot Be Found”

It continued on to say, “A new report shows hundreds of cases in which the deported parents of migrant children who were taken from their families cannot be located.”  New York Times however didn’t seem to have a source for that report.

New York Times said there were 545 kids that were separated from their families that couldn’t find their parents.  No one stopped to ask why, they just said, “migrant children taken from their families.”  Ever wonder why we couldn’t find the families?  The answer will be evident, very quickly.

As of April 6^th, 2021, kids are entering into the United States as part of groups, cartels and non-family members at a rate of 492 a day over the last month+.  This surge is staggering and increasing nearly on a daily basis.

Let’s put that 492 kids over a 30 day timeframe into a number you can do something with.  That’s over 14,000 children that don’t have parents in this country. Separated, not by the government – but by circumstance.  The problem did exist, but now it’s out of control

As of the end of March – Over 18,000 children were in U.S. custody and the number continues to grow.

Reach out to your local Senator or Representative. We must put a stop to this.

This is what is important to Biden.

These are direct quotes from one of the Executive Orders itself.

Process this…

“Section 1.  Policy.  Every person should be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are or whom they love.  Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports.”

“In Bostock v. Clayton County, 590 U.S. ___ (2020), the Supreme Court held that Title VII’s prohibition on discrimination “because of . . . sex” covers discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation.  Under Bostock‘s reasoning, laws that prohibit sex discrimination — including Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), the Fair Housing Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.), and section 412 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1522), along with their respective implementing regulations — prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, so long as the laws do not contain sufficient indications to the contrary.”

The article went on to say “President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday that the Trump Administration’s efforts to vaccinate millions of American people against Covid-19 are falling “far behind” what is needed to control the pandemic, pledging to invoke the Defense Production Act and launch vaccine education campaigns to accelerate the process and deliver 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days in office.”

This would be huge. I think we need to celebrate Biden right now, because as Biden says, he clearly has a vision that Trump can’t match.

Yesterday on C-Span3, reported by the NYPost.com – Biden was asked, “shouldn’t you set the bar higher, that’s pretty much where we are right now?” So, the question is, if his plan of 100 million people in 100 days was a goal that was set too low.

As of this morning CBS News quoted the following

&

But this is her hypocrisy… when she was called out, that Trump had already delivered on 1 million inoculations a day! Psaki makes excuses. Trump just delivered!

Less than 500,000 shots a day. In the last month+ if you average across every day, including the first day where a few hundred were inoculated, it averages to 500,000 shots a day. As of December 23, 2020 – only 1 million had been inoculated. ⁵

Since then, under Trump’s administration, we got up to 1 million inoculations in one day as of last week.

Process this “As of Wednesday, nearly 29.4 million doses had been shipped to all 50 states and all U.S. territories. Of those, just 10.3 million — about 30% — had actually been used, CDC data shows.”⁶ What this means is that there are 19 days worth of doses to deliver left. Keep that same delivery pattern that Trump was up to and we have your 100 days – 100,000,000 inoculations. Biden’s promise. Trump’s delivery.

Even WebMD.com on January 20, 2021 posted the following article that was titled the following “For Biden, 100 Million Vaccinations in 100 Days Not Easy” and here is a clip of what it said – “Now, during a once-in-a-century pandemic, incoming President Joe Biden has promised to provide 100 million covid-19 vaccinations in his first 100 days in office. ‘This team will help get … at least 100 million covid vaccine shots into the arms of the American people in the first 100 days,” Biden said during a Dec. 8 news conference introducing key members of his health team.’ ⁷

So – GO BIDEN… Just don’t screw up what President Donald J. Trump delivered on.

“The boilermakers overwhelmingly endorse me, OK?” Biden said during the ABC News town hall on Thursday, October 15th, 2020.¹ He continued by saying “So the Boilermakers Union has endorsed me because I sat down with them and went into great detail earlier to show their leadership exactly what I would do, number one. Number two, what I would do is I would stop making — I would stop giving tax breaks and subsidizing oil.”²

Appears Biden has made a rather big claim on national television. Biden’s response was to a question from Stephanopoulos, “Now you said you don’t want to ban fracking. As you know it’s an important issue here in Pennsylvania, not everyone buys your denial. A member of the Boilermakers Local 154 Sean Stephanie was quoted in the New York Times today saying, “You can’t have it both ways,” he says, “You can’t meet your goal to end fossil fuels without ending fracking,” what do you say to people like Shawn who doubt your denial because they think you want to keep that promise –“³

Quick recap. Biden’s response was, “The boilermakers overwhelmingly endorse me, OK.” and “So the Boilermakers Union has endorsed me because I sat down with them…”

Was Biden telling the truth? Let’s see what Shawn says, the man from the Boilermakers Union that was called out by name, that Biden responded about…
