Biden is about to unleash an infrastructure bill that may break the country.
A really weird story is brewing about Matt Gaetz, the Representative from Florida and it’s juicy.
And AOC is still an idiot.
An Infrastructure Bill that Doesn’t Repair the Infrastructure
During a speech in Pittsburgh, the 46th President billed his American Jobs Act.
He said the bill is a “once in a generation investment in America, unlike anything we’ve seen or done since we built the interstate highway system, and the space race decades ago. In fact, it’s the largest American jobs investment since World War II.”
The American Jobs Act seeks to “reimagine and rebuild a new economy” — specifically, by addressing the “climate crisis,” the “ambitions of an autocratic China,” and “persistent racial injustice.”
Roads, Bridges, Public Transportation and Rail
The total given to this is $621 billion. The largest portion of the bill.
$115 billion for roads, bridges and highways. This is the only infrastructure in the bill. $20 billion fund for states and localities to improve road safety, “especially for cyclists and pedestrians.”
Noting that “households of color are twice as likely to take public transportation,” the plan allocates $105 billion for the Department of Transportation to fix 24,000 buses, 5,000 rail cars, and 200 stations. Congress already provides for this and this new bill will double it.
$80 billion toward Amtrak to address the agency’s repair backlog, modernize the Northeast Corridor, and connect new city pairs.
Biden proposed a $174 billion injection into the electric vehicle (EV) market. The legislation would “enable automakers to spur domestic supply chains from raw materials to parts, retool factories to compete globally, and support American workers to make batteries and EVs,” while offering “point of sale rebates and tax incentives” for electric vehicle consumers. He wants to compete with the Chinese. News flash: electric cars are not cheap or environmentally friendly.
Biden also calls for a $25 billion investment in airports and $17 billion in the port system — which includes a “Healthy Ports program to mitigate the cumulative impacts of air pollution on neighborhoods near ports, often communities of color.” Notice, everything helps people of color. Why doesn’t this plan help all people. This is racist.
$20 billion for “a new program that will reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic investments and ensure new projects increase opportunity, advance racial equity and environmental justice, and promote affordable access.”
Energy and Broadband Internet
This has nothing to do with infrastructure and will cost $200 billion.
The first $100 billion would push the energy grid toward “cheaper, cleaner electricity.” The plan “will use the federal government’s incredible purchasing power to drive clean energy deployment across the market by purchasing 24/7 clean power for federal buildings” in a drive to reach carbon-pollution-free power by 2035.
Another $100 billion would fund broadband internet in “unserved and underserved areas so that we finally reach 100 percent high-speed broadband coverage.” The plan clarifies that it will ensure “funds are set aside for infrastructure on tribal lands and that tribal nations are consulted in program administration,” while promoting workers’ ability to “bargain collectively.”
Need to encourage unionization in the private sector for people of color. This is racist.
Schools and Housing
Again, has nothing to do with infrastructure but will cost $213 billion.
It will “build, preserve, and retrofit more than two million homes and commercial buildings to address the affordable housing crisis.”
This spending would fund the retrofitting of “more than a million” houses for “rental opportunities to underserved communities nationwide, including rural and tribal areas.” It would also “build and rehabilitate” over half a million homes for “low- and middle-income homebuyers” by offering $20 billion in tax credits through the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act.
The legislation will use $40 billion to improve “the infrastructure of the public housing system in America” to “disproportionately benefit women, people of color, and people with disabilities.”
That’s racist.
The $213 billion in spending also includes a $100 billion payout to “upgrade and build new public schools, through $50 billion in direct grants and an additional $50 billion leveraged through bonds.” Also granting $12 billion to community colleges and $25 billion to childcare facilities, the legislation cites its resultant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Sound familiar?
Care Infrastructure
Stating that caregivers are “disproportionately women of color,” the plan would “put $400 billion toward expanding access to quality, affordable home- or community-based care for aging relatives and people with disabilities.”
That’s racist and sexist.
The plan would likewise leverage Medicaid to expand home and community-based services, which will “support well-paying caregiving jobs that include benefits and the ability to collectively bargain” — which, according to the plan, would again benefit “low-income communities and communities of color.”
Again…well, you know.
Research and Development
Biden decided that China is a threat and really decided to take a stand against them. So, he thinks spending money on technology will do it. Technology they’ll just steal.
Among these expenditures include $50 billion for the National Science Foundation’s research into “semiconductors and advanced computing, advanced communications technology, advanced energy technologies, and biotechnology.”
Biden’s legislation also sets aside $40 billion to upgrade brick-and-mortar research facilities — half of which is earmarked specifically for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other Minority Serving Institutions.
That’s racist. Why doesn’t he fix Cal State Northridge.
The legislation would likewise build a “new national lab focused on climate that will be affiliated with an HBCU.”
In addition to the $20 billion in infrastructure improvements, Biden is calling for another $10 billion in R&D investments at HBCUs, as well as $15 billion to build “200 centers of excellence that serve as research incubators at HBCUs and other MSIs.”
Again emphasizing the issue of climate change, the legislation would spend “$35 billion in the full range of solutions needed to achieve technology breakthroughs that address the climate crisis and position America as the global leader in clean energy technology and clean energy jobs.”
Taxes
Of course, taxes will be involved. But the only tax plan he talked about was raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% and how he was going to tax corporations based on overseas earnings.
Guess what? That’s not going to be enough. We’ll just wait and see.
Conclusion
You know how everyone was saying that our country is systemically racist? I never believed it before but we are now. When our government creates laws and bases decisions that benefit one race over another, that creating a racist system. We had that prior to the Civil Rights Act. Just because the law benefits people of color and not whites does not make it any less racist.

I Don’t Know What to Believe
This might be one of the strangest stories of the last five years. And we have had some strange stories. This involves Rep. Matt Gaetz and a really weird tale. It has everything that would make good for a movie of the week. It has sex, betrayal, spies, foreign enemies, extortion and sex.
I have no idea what’s true but something is. I don’t even think I can comment on it because it is so bazaar.
Our tale started on Tuesday. The New York Times decided to release a story saying the Rep. Gaetz was under investigation by the Department of Justice and FBI for sex trafficking. Specifically, Gaetz was traveling with a girlfriend who was 17 years old.
Gaetz went on Tucker Carlson on the night the story came out and said:
“This former Department of Justice official tomorrow was supposed to be contacted by my father so that specific instructions could be given regarding the wiring of $4.5 million as a down payment on this bribe. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that tonight, somehow, the New York Times is leaking this information, smearing me, and ruining the investigation that would likely result in one of the former colleagues of the current DOJ being brought to justice for trying to extort me and my family.”
The 17-year-old in question “doesn’t exist,” Gaetz said, adding that he has “not had a relationship with a 17-year-old. That is totally false.”
The whole thing started, according to reports, when an Air Force intelligence officer approached Gaetz for a loan of $25 million dollars. The reason was to rescue and officer in Iran named Robert Levinson. Kent had a plan to rescue Levinson and, even though the family thought he was dead, Kent said he had proof he was alive. He was working with attorneys named Davis McGee and Stephen Alford.
Alford is a little sketchy. He already faced charges of extortion and fraud in the past. Gaetz told them to fuck off and away they went. But they weren’t done.
The went to Gaetz’s father Don. Don is a pretty rich guy, worth over $400 million. Don got a phone call and agreed to meet with Kent and Alford. They gave him a document describing a mission called Operation Homecoming. It described the They said that there was an investigation by the DOJ of Matt sue to corruption and moral indiscretions. Specifically, Matt was have orgies with underage girls.
That’s got to be awesome. Nothing really new in Washington DC.
According to these clowns, they were prepared to make all this go away and promised Matt a pardon from President Biden. Supposedly, the Biden administration was aware of all of this. This meeting happened on March 16th of this year.
Don Gaetz had the document and it was released. It said:
“In exchange for the funds being arranged, and upon the release of Mr. Levinson, the team that delivers Mr. Levinson to the President of The United States shall strongly advocate that President Biden issue a Presidential Pardon, or instruct the Department of Justice to terminate any and all investigations involving Congressman Gaetz.”
Kent, McGee, Alford and the White House were questioned about this and no one commented. Doesn’t that make you go, “hmmm”.
Listen, Gaetz is a climber and no angel. He liked dating young women. This was known. Today, there is a story about him showing nude pics of his conquests to other representatives and, apparently, he’s not that popular in Congress. But…
Let’s just wait and see. I can’t wait to see where this story is going to go.

I Miss Her Sooo Much
Because the disaster of the border is Democrat caused and AOC made a complete ass of herself when there was a surge at the border during the Trump administration, she has been kind of quiet. Yeah, you’re not seeing her at a border facility, staring behind a chain link fence, dressed all in white spilling crocodile tears while staring at an empty parking lot. Yeah, she was actually looking at a parking lot, probably a quarter mile from the actual facility.
But you knew this pretty little sociopath was going to say something eventually because she is a Leftist dancing monkey that loves the limelight. By the way, I use the term “dancing monkey” as a metaphor and not a racial slur.
This first clip is AOC on the Rachel Maddow show. Comrade Maddow asked AOC if the $2.5 trillion dollar bill is enough:
That’s awesome. A gal who has never started a business; heck, never held a full time job, thinks that we should spend five times an already obese bill.
I also want to point out that she didn’t say a thing about infrastructure which is what this bill is suppose to be about. It’s about healthcare, creating government jobs (government dependence) and the environment. In other words, AOC is disappointed, not because Biden did not implement the Green New Deal, but he did not invest enough into the Green New Deal.
I think you should watch the entire interview because it’s hysterical. She was talking about economics being too complicated for most people then she explains her idiotic theories on how the $2.5 trillion really isn’t much because it’s spread over ten years.
This broad’s lack of understanding of basic economics is astounding. If I were her mother, I would demand Boston University give her money back.
Then there was AOC’s response to why she was not putting on a performance on the border like she did when Trump was President. She said this on Instagram:
I mean, this is so dumb I don’t even know how to address it. I don’t know if I need to address it.
- What does white supremacy have to do with people illegally entering our country?
- If there was so much white supremacy in this country, wouldn’t people try to leave, not get in?
- “Militaristic”? Is the border patrol shooting people that I don’t know about?
- Not an invasion? Armed drug cartels are actually making money bringing people over the border illegally. We are arresting 6000 people a day. That’s on pace for 2 million people this year. Border facilities at at 1500% capacity. Sounds like an invasion to me.
- “Surge” and “insurgent” have nothing to do with each other.
Finally, she said in a conference that the border crisis is so “barbaric” that those caught illegally crossing the border should receive reparations. Do I even need to say anything about giving people from other countries who break our laws reparations for getting caught and being incarcerated? Does that mean we should be given murderers and other criminals reparations because they were put in prison? By the way, they were separated from their children too. Is that barbaric?
I won’t lie: I love AOC. She is entertaining. She is also the reason people will pull away from the Democrats because her stupidity makes her sound insane.
I also realize that anyone can run and become a Congressman.
