KOMMONSENTSJANE – DID HALEY FORGET “WHO BROUGHT HER TO THE DANCE?”

“Use it or lose it!”

Haley told The Charlotte Observer in 2010, when she became governor, that she dropped her maiden name simply because it “wouldn’t fit on a yard sign,” but not everyone is buying that. While the Republican Party has reportedly begun to embrace women and minorities in leadership roles as a way to broaden their voter pool, whether or not the GOP would have been welcoming of a woman with a Sikh heritage a few years ago is doubtful. And it’s possible that Haley thought her Indian heritage might have been a tough pill to swallow for the Republicans as well; in 2001, Haley identified herself as “white” on a voter registration card, according to a report by the Associated Press.

Haley did convert to Christianity when she married her husband, National Guardsman Michael Haley (in an interesting twist, when Haley met her husband he was called by his first name, Bill, but she had him change to his middle name since “he didn’t look like a Bill.” Is she a secret name stylist?). The couple are raising their two children, Rena and Nalin, as Methodist, but Haley claims to attend services for both faiths.

Haley’s appointment as the next United States ambassador to the United Nations has raised a few eyebrows despite her popularity within the Republican Party; first of all, she isn’t known to have a great handle on foreign policy. Wisconsin Republican Sean Duffy told CNN he didn’t think her lack of experience would be a big deal:

She’s a smart woman. I don’t think you need this great history of diplomatic experience to go in the UN and be successful. I think what you want to do is find people who will share your worldview especially when they go and represent you from the administration to the UN or any other post.

Haley and Trump have had a bit of a rocky history, with each of them throwing jabs at each other. Haley endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and said she “wasn’t a fan” of Trump, while he famously Tweeted that the people of South Carolina were “embarrassed” by Haley. The two appear to have sorted through their differences for the sake of governing the country.

***

My beef with Haley is that she stored the historic statues in SC rather than “facing the issue?” And, now she threw rotten eggs at President Trump – who brought her into the “big tent” She has to realize – that you can’t make it on your own in the big picture – you even work with people you don’t especially like.

She needs to stop splitting hairs and work for the good of the country and the party and stop making waves. If she can’t do that – she needs to get out of politics. Politics are a group event. It is all for one or one for all and she found out that – all for one didn’t fit in her picture at this particular time.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – FACT CHECK: BIDEN EXECUTIVE ORDER HALTS BORDER WALL CONSTRUCTION – REDIRECTS FUNDING?

Posted on March 8, 2024 by kommonsentsjane

3/8/2024

So, where was the border wall money redirected?

****

Fact check: Biden executive order halts border wall construction, redirects funding?

Jessica Hill

USA TODAY

The claim: President Joe Biden signed an executive order to tear down the border wall built during the Trump administration. 

After President Joe Biden signed an executive order Jan. 20 regarding the miles of border wall under construction during the Trump administration, some took to Facebook to claim — inaccurately — that Biden will tear down the wall. 

A Facebook user by the name of Giggle Palooza posted Jan. 24, “Just seen where Biden signed an Executive Order to tear down the border wall. You all happy now?” 

Since it was published, the post has received more than 3,000 interactions and more than 2,900 comments, many pointing out that the post is false. The Facebook user has not responded to USA TODAY’s request for comment.

What the border wall executive order said

The claim is referring to Biden’s executive order that ended border wall construction projects and will redirect the project funds elsewhere.

In his proclamation, Biden wrote that the government would no longer divert taxpayer dollars to construct a border wall. It is one of several executive actions the president signed since taking office on Jan. 20.

“Like every nation, the United States has a right and a duty to secure its borders and protect its people against threats,” he wrote. “But building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution. It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security.” 

Biden’s executive order paused work on each construction project on the southern border wall within seven days and paused the obligation of funds related to the construction of that wall. He also rescinded former President Donald Trump’s national declaration of emergency at the southern border from February 2019. 

The order also calls for compiling detailed information on all southern border wall construction contracts, the completion status of each wall construction project, and the funds used for wall construction since Feb. 15, 2019.

President Donald Trump promised a "big, beautiful wall" along the U.S.-Mexican border.

The secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security, as well as other department heads, will develop a plan for the redirection of funds concerning the southern border wall, the executive order states. 

The plan will be developed within 60 days; those Cabinet secretaries will then take steps to either resume, modify or terminate projects.

The executive order makes no mention of tearing down the border wall.

Will the existing wall be taken down?

Even in the past, Biden has made it clear he has no intention of tearing down existing border walls. In August, Biden told NPR that he would end construction of the border wall, but he would not tear down the parts of the barrier that were built during the Trump administration.

“There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration,” he said.

Even so, some environmental groups have called upon Biden to tear down some newer parts of the wall, saying areas of construction damaged the environment, according to Arizona’s Family and Scientific American.

Our ruling: Missing context

The claim that President Joe Biden signed an executive order to tear down the border wall built during the Trump administration is MISSING CONTEXT. Biden signed an executive order to stop all projects and redirect funding away from border wall construction. He has said he would not tear down the existing wall along the nation’s southern border.

Again, where did the money go?

KOMMONSENTSJANE – Congress has a 12% approval rating; members are not happy with it either

Posted on March 8, 2024 by kommonsentsjane

WHO ARE THE THINKERS IN THE SENATE? Thought the Senate were the THINKERS?

Congress has a 12% approval rating; members are not happy with it either

Ray Bogan

Mar 7, 2024, 6:42 PM

Congress has a 12% approval rating, according to a recent Gallup survey. The results aren’t a surprise to anyone, especially since the legislative branch hasn’t had an approval rating above 40% since 2005. 

However, it’s not just the public that isn’t happy with Congress, members of Congress aren’t happy either.

“I think there’s a couple of reasons why people are so frustrated with the Senate as it currently operates,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said. “One is we’re not actually doing anything. We don’t vote on Mondays, we come in on Tuesdays, we vote in the evening and then we leave after lunch on Thursday. And this is one of the least productive Senate’s that I’ve served in.”

There’s equal frustration with the light schedule in the House.

“So fly in, fly out days, you know because we’re only here, call it maybe 10 days, 10 nights a month, 11 nights a month,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., said. “You know, we’re running around, we don’t all serve on the same committees. Some people are giving speeches on the floor, the floor’s empty, no one’s here when they’re doing that.”

As per the approval rating, that same Gallup survey found that 83% outright disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job, and 5% had no opinion. Cornyn is running to be the chamber’s Republican leader and his pitch to colleagues is that he’ll fix that. 

“I’ve been here when the senator has worked, where the committees have worked and where the senators had a chance to actually be a senator and represent their state and this is not it. So I think we can do better,” Cornyn told reporters. 

There’s also frustration with the way in which bills are negotiated. It often happens behind closed doors and many members don’t know what’s in a piece of legislation until it gets released to the public, which is part of the reason the recent Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and border security package failed. 

“This crazy idea that, you know, a handful of people can write bills behind closed doors and roll them out without adequate time to read them and debate them,” Cornyn said. “That’s not the way the Senate should operate.” 

Cornyn is running against Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., to be the chamber’s party leader. Whoever wins will replace Sen. Mitch McConnell R-Ky.

KOMMONSENTSJANE – WAS BIDEN’S SPEECH IN 5G/CHAOS MODE? Was he in the mad zone?

Posted on March 8, 2024 by kommonsentsjane

3/8/2024

If any letter is not shown – blame it on the tech media called Google. I proof – they poof!

ttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-seemed-angry-brit-hume/vi-BB1jwOE0?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=a605ba9027394a7dabe93cecf0bba670&ei=22

Our country has been in a raging mode since the implication of 5G – Biden’s speech sounded like he was mad during the entire speech and the ground he covered was not as I recalled since his time in office.

The border was not covered to suit the actual visuals we see.

How can he be fit for another four years if he can’t be tried for the removal of his documents – WAS BIDEN’S SPEECH IN 5G/CHAOS MODE? Was he in the mad zone?

But a new ad from AFP as part of its campaign includes snippets of news reports spotlighting rising prices and economic discontent by Americans before the narrator urges viewers to “tell Joe Biden and his allies in Congress we’ve had enough of Bidenomics.”

Why didn’t he do in the past four years what he is now promising all of these things on a silver plater for the next four years?

My biggest argument is since Biden is not making the decisions for the last four years – who is – so why do we want him for four more years not knowing who is spending all of our money>

Let’s go back to 432 Hz mode and elect President Trump and know who is making the decisions and remove 74% of Obama people who are still working in Biden’s administration for Obama..

Look at all of the mistakes Biden administration has made and look at the blue states who are all under water.

We have to make a change for the better since what we are doing now is not working. We certainly know we don’t want to listen to HILLARY CLINTON who stated: BIDEN IS OLD – STILL VOTE FOR HIM SO THE DEMOCRATS CAN MAKE OUR COUNTRY INTO HER VERSION OF COMMUNISM.

Biden stated he wanted to save our DEMOCRACY – he is confused – Democrats are the ones who are trying to STEAL OUR DEMOCRACY and replace it with their plantation-style communism.

Time for Biden to retire to the beach. Not fit for duty!
