Happy Independence Day!
[[link removed]]
We can celebrate Independence Day in a special way this year after
the Supreme Court vindicated our rights and liberties under the
Constitution. As a result, our nation is freer under law this
Independence Day than it was last Independence Day!
So let us recall the wishes of Founding Father John Adams, who signed
the Declaration, that this holiday “ought to be solemnized with pomp
and parade, with shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and
illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this
time forward forever more.”
As the momentous Supreme Court decisions remind us, our liberty
depends on fidelity to the principles of our founding, as enumerated
in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. To that end,
to celebrate Independence Day, here is the Declaration of
Independence, in full:
In Congress, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God
entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be
changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience
hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are
sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which
they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them
under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to
throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future
security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their
former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great
Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having
in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these
States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary
for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large
districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of
Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and
formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,
uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public
Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with
his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with
manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause
others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of
Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise;
the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of
invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that
purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and
raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his
Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of
their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of
Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the
Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to
the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to
our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to
their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders
which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring
Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging
its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit
instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and
altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested
with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his
Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and
destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to
compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun
with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the
most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized
nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas
to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of
their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured
to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished
destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every
act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free
people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We
have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of
the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations,
which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in
War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in
General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by
Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and
declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free
and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to
the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and
the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and
that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War,
conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all
other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And
for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the
protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Have a safe and wonderful Independence Day and God Bless the United
States of America!
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SPENDS $6 MILLION ON RACIAL EQUITY IN FOOD STAMPS
The extremist critical race theory is a guiding governance principle
of the Biden administration – and is now being used to mess with the
already bloated and corrupted “food stamp” program. Our
_Corruption Chronicles_ blog explains
[[link removed]].
The Biden administration is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to
advance racial equity in the government’s bloated,
multi-billion-dollar food-stamp program that already serves a large
minority population. A record 45 million people receive the welfare
benefit, according to the latest figures
[[link removed]]
published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), at a cost of
about $80 billion. This month the administration announced it is
investing $6 million
[[link removed]]
to fund data projects centered on identifying inequities in the food
stamp program, which was rebranded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) by the Obama administration to eliminate the welfare
stigma.
The costly project is known as SNAP E&T Data and Technical Assistance
(DATA) and its mission is to help states make data-driven decisions to
advance equity in the food stamp program. “Throughout the United
States, systemic barriers for historically underserved communities
have, historically and to this day, led to significant barriers to
education, training, and full participation in the labor market,”
the Biden administration writes in the grant announcement. “SNAP E&T
programs are primed to be leaders in promoting equitable (i.e. race,
gender, geographic, sexual orientation, religion, etc.) access to good
jobs and sustained family-supporting wages in high-demand career
fields for those from historically underserved groups; as measured by
educational attainment, households that participate in the SNAP
program are the least well-off in the labor market.”
For those unfamiliar with term equity, the document identifies it in a
long-winded footnote as the “consistent and systematic fair, just,
and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who
belong to underserved communities that have been denied such
treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American
persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of
color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities;
persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely
affected by persistent poverty or inequality.” The USDA’s Food and
Nutrition Services (FNS) plans to support and invest in projects to
help states make data-driven decision to advance equity in SNAP
programs, the announcement says.
The data complied under the project will help look inwardly at state
policy and operational decisions to identify if they have impacts on
equitable program participation, according to the grant document. It
will look outwardly to build an understanding of the environment in
which food stamp recipients and programs operate that may lead to
inequitable outcomes for participants of various identities,
backgrounds, and geographic locations. Advancing the ability of states
to use data to improve and maintain equitable access and outcomes for
all participants is the ultimate goal. Once the data has been
gathered, it will be analyzed to understand opportunities or
disparities for historically underserved communities, the grant
document states. It will also incorporate individual, community,
political and historical contexts of race, gender, sexual identity,
disability status and geographic location to inform recommendations.
Appropriate measures will then be developed that allow states to make
accurate and timely decisions related to program policies and
operations to advance equity as well as equitable participation and
outcomes for food stamp recipients.
Last year the USDA launched a Racial Justice and Equity Working Group
[[link removed]]
to address
the agency’s “history of systemic discrimination via policies and
programs designed to benefit those with access, education, assets,
privilege rather than for those without.” A few weeks later the USDA
dedicated $1 billion
[[link removed]]
to bring healthy food to underserved minority communities. The
allocation is part of a multi-trillion-dollar Biden administration
initiative called Build Back Better to supposedly “rescue” and
“rebuild” the country by, among other things, tackling racial
injustice and inequity. “Black and Latino Americans, Native
Americans, immigrants, and women have never been welcomed as full
participants in the economy,” according to a White House document
outlining the plan. The initiative is broad and features a three-part
agenda that includes promoting food stamps. “There is extra money
available for food,” Build Back Better assures, encouraging the
public to apply for SNAP.
NORTH CAROLINA MIGRANT SHELTER QUIETLY OPENS AFTER HHS DENIES PLAN TO
CONGRESS
Our nation is in crisis due the Biden administration’s refusal to
not only enforce the rule on immigration but its willingness to aid
and abet the illegal human trafficking endemic at the border. And this
now includes shipping victimized children to a giant facility in North
Carolina. Our _Corruption Chronicles_ blog reports
[[link removed]].
A year after Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra
denied in a congressional hearing the Biden administration’s plan to
open a North Carolina facility for illegal immigrant minors, it is
happening. The federal government is leasing a vacant international
boarding school, American Hebrew Academy, in Greensboro for five years
to accommodate the influx of migrants, which are classified as
Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) by the government though most are
adolescents and young adults. Uncle Sam will provide them with
schooling, mental and medical care, legal services and recreational
activities at the 100-acre campus with 31 buildings, 35 resident staff
apartments, an $18 million athletic field and a 22-acre lake,
according to a local news report
[[link removed]].
Besides leasing the facility, the government will also hire a staff of
800 to run the migrant camp.
HHS is charged with caring for illegal aliens under the age of 18 and
the agency is overwhelmed by an onslaught of mostly Central Americans
that have crossed the southern border in the last few years. Through
its Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) HHS funds and oversees dozens
of state-licensed care facilities to house the young migrants when
they arrive in the U.S. and it simply is not enough. In fiscal year
2021 ORR housed an unprecedented 122,731 UAC, according to government
figures
[[link removed]],
and this year’s budget is a whopping $8.76 billion. As of the end of
April, 8,645 UAC were in HHS care and the agency projects that in 2022
it will accommodate approximately 149,000 UAC and between 500 to 600
daily for the remainder of the fiscal year. Under this projection, ORR
could need up to 19,000 beds by the end of the fiscal year, the agency
predicts, and it will use standard and temporary facilities. Last year
the overwhelming majority of UAC in U.S. custody, approximately 72%,
were over 14 years of age and 66% were male. Nearly half (47%) came
from Guatemala, 32% from Honduras, 13% from El Salvador and 8% from
other countries.
North Carolina legislators are outraged the feds are opening a UAC
shelter in their state, especially after Becerra testified otherwise
in a hearing before federal lawmakers. This month members of North
Carolina’s congressional delegation fired off a letter
[[link removed]]
to Becerra and ORR Director Andrea Chapman reminding that the HHS
secretary denied UAC would be resettled in the state during a May 2021
House Committee on Energy and Commerce hearing. “The decision to now
resettle UAC in Greensboro directly contradicts what you said
previously and comes as a complete surprise to us and our
constituencies,” the lawmakers write, revealing that the illegal
immigrants will begin arriving in Greensboro this week. “This quick
turnaround leaves many of our local leaders in our communities and
state struggling to make necessary preparations to ensure the safety
of those impacted.” The federal lawmakers blast the failures of the
Biden administration to secure the southern border and claim every
state is suffering from the impacts of the “Biden border crisis.”
They also demand answers from the administration, including what
measures are being taken to ensure the transitional campus does not
pose a danger to the community, the cost of housing UAC in North
Carolina and plans to prevent overcrowding, violence, and disease
outbreaks.
Last fall UAC shelters were rife with COVID-19
[[link removed]]
with one Texas county reporting a startling 107% increase in cases
among underage migrant facilities within its boundaries. At the time
the U.S. was caring for 14,319 UAC and shelters across the nation were
severely overcrowded. Government whistleblowers exposed
“widespread” COVID-19 infections at major shelters housing illegal
immigrant youths and the Texas Health and Humans Services Department
revealed that 37 of the state’s 44 facilities reported COVID-19
infections among migrants. This included camps at Fort Bliss in El
Paso and all the shelters in Texas’s Cameron County near the Mexican
border, where COVID-19 infections rose 107% in less than a week.
Health issues were already a serious concern at the illegal immigrant
camps long before COVID-19, when the Obama administration allowed tens
of thousands of UAC to enter the U.S. Back in 2014, Judicial Watch
reported
[[link removed]]
that the hordes of illegal immigrant minors brought in serious
diseases, including swine flu, dengue fever and possibly Ebola. At the
time, a congressman who is also a medical doctor, alerted the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that the UAC were importing
infectious diseases considered to be largely eradicated in this
country.
Until next week,
