Concerns Raised Over Biden's 'Autopen' Presidency


Many documents requiring the signature of His Fraudulency Joe Biden just may not be legal. Many were found to have been signed by an autopen.

These include "signed" executive orders, legislation and pardons. An investigation by the Justice Department is being called for.

According to Newsmax:

The use of an autopen signature on many official White House documents and executive orders purportedly signed by former President Joe Biden has stoked concerns about his awareness of signing certain things and whether he actually signed them at all, according to an investigation by the Oversight Project, an arm of the Heritage Foundation.

According to the group, "every document we could find" that bore Biden's signature all "used the same autopen signature" except for his announcement about leaving the 2024 presidential race last July.

"Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency," the Oversight Project said in a post to X on Thursday.

The concerns are such that Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is demanding a Department of Justice investigation as to whether "Biden's cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval."

In a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz dated March 4, Bailey wrote that "it appears staffers and officers in the Biden administration may have exploited Biden's incapacity so they could issue orders without an accountable President of sound mind approving them."

Trump Signs Executive Order To Review Gun Control

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to protect and expand Second Amendment rights of Americans.

The NRA-ILA posted:

Today, the White House announced a new Executive Order to protect and expand the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans. This is the first action taken by President Donald J. Trump to carry through on his promise to restore the full protections of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms for the American people.

“Promises made to law-abiding gun owners are being kept by President Donald J. Trump,” said Doug Hamlin, NRA Executive Vice President and CEO. “NRA members were instrumental, turning out in record numbers to secure his victory, and he is proving worthy of their votes, faith, and confidence in his first days in office.”

The order directs the Attorney General to conduct a report and make recommendations to better protect the Second Amendment. Specifically, the order requires the Attorney General to evaluate actions taken by the Biden Administration that restricted firearms rights and recommend solutions to undo those actions.

President Trump has gone further than simply moving towards eliminating the anti-gun actions of the last administration. The order further requires the Attorney General to take an all-of-government review to further enhance firearm rights by addressing the litigation position of the United States in any case impacting the Second Amendment, reviewing government classifications of firearms and ammunition, and evaluating wait times for various federal approvals that are required to make, manufacture, transfer, or export firearms and ammunition.

Trump Executive Order To Release More JFK, RFK, MLK Assassination Files

President Donald Trump is continuing to make good on his campaign promises.

The latest is that he issued an executive order to declassify and release the remaining files on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

According to CBS News:

President Trump announced that he'll declassify any remaining files from the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. He signed an executive order at the White House Thursday.

After an aide announced the president was signing the executive action "ordering the declassification of files relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.," Mr. Trump said, "That's a big one, huh? A lot of people are waiting for this for a long — for years, for decades."

The president instructed his aide to give the pen he used to sign the order to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy and Mr. Trump's nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services. The elder Kennedy served as U.S. attorney general and New York senator and was a Democratic presidential candidate when he was slain in 1968.

Trump's Present To Southern California: More Water


As promised, President Trump issued an executive order that would provide Southern California more water.

According to Western Journal:

Among President Donald Trump’s first executive orders issued on Monday was one directing that a plan be implemented to deliver more water from northern California to the central and southern parts of the state.

He argued lack of water was a reason the California wildfires did such damage.

Trump recounted in his Jan. 20 order — titled “Putting People over Fish: Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Provide Water to Southern California” and directed to the Secretaries of Commerce and the Interior Departments — “During my first term, the State of California, at the direction of its Governor [Gavin Newsom], filed a lawsuit to stop my Administration from implementing improvements to California’s water infrastructure. My Administration’s plan would have allowed enormous amounts of water to flow from the snow melt and rainwater in rivers in Northern California to beneficial use in the Central Valley and Southern California.”

It has been reported that Trump will pay a visit to the fire stricken areas on Friday.

Lujan Grisham Extends Unconstitutional Gun Edict


As she did during the pandemic, Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham has extended her "health emergency" executive order to further infringe on the Second Amendment rights of New Mexico citizens.

This little dictator needs to be impeached and removed from office. Those in areas affected (Bernalillo County and Albuquerque) by her order should tell her to shove it up her keister.

According to Piñon Post:

Democrat anti-gun Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has decided to extend an executive order declaring “gun violence” a public health emergency. The renewal, effective until December 29, 2023, underscores the governor’s attacks on lawful New Mexico gun owners’ rights.

Governor Lujan Grisham’s executive orders mandate collaboration among the Department of Health, Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Department of Public Safety, and Health Care Authority. While the renewal doesn’t introduce any alterations to the existing orders, it does maintain the current public health directives banning guns in parks, among other measures.

A notable absence during the signing was the governor herself, with Lt. Gov. Howie Morales taking on the responsibility in her absence. The decision to renew these executive orders comes at a time when gun control measures are a subject of intense debate across the nation.

New Mexicans who follow the Constitution note that executive actions infringe upon individual rights and bypass legislative processes designed to ensure democratic decision-making, along with total ignorance of inalienable constitutional rights. Moreover, concerns have been raised about the effectiveness of labeling “gun violence” as a public health emergency and whether it is the most appropriate approach to tackling the complex social issues associated with it.

News From The New Mexico Shooting Sports Association

 

Today, the hearing for the Preliminary Injunction against the governor's "public health order" was held in Federal Court in Albuquerque. The judge did not rule on the injunction today, but he extended the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) previously issued, noting that parks were included in the original "public health order" the TRO was granted against. The TRO has been extended through October 11th. The judge expects to rule on the injunction by that date.

It is worth noting that the governor's attorney present said the governor intends to extend her order beyond the initial 30 days it was issued for, and the governor herself has told the media she would like to return the scope of her order to its original language. This underscores why it is so important to continue to litigate this matter.

We will continue this fight, but we need your support too. Please continue to support NMSSAFirearms Policy Coalition, and Second Amendment Foundation.

First Democrat Breaks Silence On MLG's Executive Order


For the past three days, I noticed that the New Mexico Democrat legislators have been dead silent on Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham's executive order on banning open and concealed carry of firearms in Bernalillo County. 

Thus far, none have come out supporting this unconstitutional action.

One has finally come out in opposition. 

Piñon Post reported:

The first Democrat legislator finally broke their silence, with state Sen. Joseph Cervantes (D-Doña Ana County) writing on Twitter, “Having passed key gun safety laws working with her administration, I call on the Governor to rescind her order outlawing arms.”

Meanwhile, Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen blasted the unconstitutional order of the the governor and said he will not enforce it.

Gov. Lujan Grisham Called Out By Rep. Ted Lieu and Gun-Grabber David Hogg

Above, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA). 

Hell has just frozen over!

From the Gateway Pundit:

Did you ever in a million years think you would see the day when Rep. Ted Lieu of California would call out a fellow Democrat for going too far on gun control?

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is already facing calls for her impeachment over her outrageous and illegal plans, but even more shocking is that she is getting called out by people of the left like Lieu.

If you’re a Democrat and Ted Lieu says you’ve gone too far, you know you’ve messed up. 

Lieu tweeted:

I support gun safety laws. However, this order from the Governor of New Mexico violates the U.S. Constitution. No state in the union can suspend the federal Constitution. There is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution.

Besides Lieu, gun-grabber David Hogg has also rebuked Lujan Grisham.

He posted on X (or Twitter):

I support gun safety but there is no such thing as a state public health emergency exception to the U.S. Constitution.

Elon Musk Calls For Impeachment and Removal of NM Governor

Above, Elon Musk. U.S. Air Force photo by Trevor Cokley.

Calls for the impeachment and removal of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham are starting. This is in reaction to Lujan Grisham's executive order suspending Second Amendment rights of Bernalillo County citizens.

The highest profile call was by Elon Musk, the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter.

Breitbart reported:

Elon Musk responded to New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s (D) order banning concealed carry by asking how soon the governor can be removed for violating the Second Amendment.

Breitbart News reported that Grisham issued an order Friday suspending state residents’ rights to carry guns for self-defense in Albuquerque and other cities.

Musk responded with a post on X, which said, “At risk of stating what should be obvious, deliberately violating the Constitution is next-level illegal. How soon can this person be removed from office?”

I totally agree, her actions yesterday go beyond the pale. She should be impeached and removed from office. The sooner, the better.

New Mexico’s Democrat Governor Suspends Second Amendment Rights


The unconstitutional move by New Mexico Gov. "Malevolent" Michelle Lujan Grisham has attracted attention around the country.

Here is a post by the Gateway Pundit which includes a confrontation of the governor by a reporter. As one would expect from her, her responses are lame and ludicrous. Besides being unconstitutional, her "executive order" is targeting the wrong people, the law-abiding and not the criminals.

The article begins with:

In a controversial move, Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham declared gun violence a public health emergency in response to the shooting deaths of a thirteen-year-old girl on July 28, a five-year-old girl on August 14, and an eleven-year-old boy on September 6.

One of the most troubling aspects of this public health order is the temporary suspension of open and concealed carry laws in Bernalillo County effective immediately. This action directly infringes upon law-abiding citizens’ Constitutional right to bear arms. The Governor has carved out exceptions for licensed security guards and law enforcement officers.

She is claiming that constitutional rights "are not absolute", but she has the attitude that her dictatorial edicts are.  What's to stop her from extending her "health order" after 30 days like she did during the pandemic unless we do?

RPNM Statement on Governor’s Unconstitutional Firearm Order

 


RPNM Statement on Governor’s Unconstitutional Firearm Order

Albuquerque, September 8th—Today, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed an executive order to ban open and concealed carry of firearms in Albuquerque and Bernalillo Counties as part of her declared public health emergency for gun violence in New Mexico. 


According to the Governor, she will reevaluate and renew her public health order every 30 days. The order is for all of New Mexico, but only Albuquerque currently meets the requirements of 1,000 violent crimes per 100,000 people and more than 90 firearm-related emergency department visits for the ban to apply.


The Governor's order violates gun rights within the New Mexico Constitution and the Concealed Handgun Carry Act of 2003, which guarantees the concealed handgun rights of New Mexicans who qualify for and obtain a permit.


The Governor admitted she knew her order is unconstitutional, stating she wasn't sure she would win a legal challenge against it.


"She knew her order was illegal but did it anyway, just like the lawbreakers in our state. Criminals won't be affected by more laws since they don't follow our laws now nor are they held responsible for breaking any of them," said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce.


"This order removes protection from law-abiding New Mexican gun owners, leaving them and their families vulnerable in a city with the highest violent crime. How does that make sense?


Dangerous criminals won't be affected by the Governor's order and will continue to prey on vulnerable targets. Those who will be affected are the many responsible, gun-carrying women and mothers who will be left defenseless and unable to protect themselves and their children.


The Governor has let violent criminals out of prison. She weakened our police. She and the Democratic legislature allowed softer penalties for violent crime while stopping tough crime bills from passing. We have an open border where fentanyl and deadly drugs pour onto our streets and a mental health crisis exacerbated by the Governor's lockdowns.


This violent crime crisis is most prominent in blue cities nationwide, like Albuquerque, directly resulting from weak Democratic policy. Instead of reversing her failed approach, the Governor strips the rights of responsible gun-owning New Mexicans.


Her order puts citizens in a dangerous situation and is outright illegal. We expect to see the Governor's order challenged and defeated in court."

Gold: FDR's Other "Day of Infamy"


The following was way before my time, but it should be recognized that it was one of the beginnings of the ruination of the U.S. dollar. It took place 90 years ago yesterday.

On April 5, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order forcing the American people to surrender their gold. This was illegal on the face of it as executive orders cannot be directly applied to citizens. But he did it anyway after congress passed an unconstitutional law, the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, that gave FDR dictatorial power. Like sheep, the American people complied.

The story of the "other day of infamy" of FDR has been posted at Money Metals Exchange.

It begins with:

Ninety years ago, Franklin Roosevelt told Americans they had less than a month to hand over their gold or face up to ten years in prison.

December 7, 1941 will forever be remembered as, in the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, "a date that will live in infamy." Another infamous date is April 5, 1933—the day that FDR ordered the seizure of the private gold holdings of the American people.

By attacking innocent citizens, Roosevelt bombed the country's gold standard just as surely as Japan bombed Pearl Harbor.

On this 90th anniversary of the seizure, it behooves us to recall the details of it, for multiple reasons: It ranks as one of the most notorious abuses of power in a decade when there were almost too many to count.

It's an example of bad policy imposed on the guiltless by the government that created the conditions it used to justify it. And the very fact of compliance, however minimal, is a scary testimony to how fragile freedom is in the middle of a crisis.

Suddenly on April 5, 1933, FDR told Americans—in the form of Executive Order 6102—that they had less than a month to hand over their gold coins, bullion and gold certificates or face up to ten years in prison or a fine of $10,000, or both.

Project Cedar: The Plot To Destroy The U.S. Dollar

Above, dollars as we know them today. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

If you dismiss the notion that elections have consequences, especially stolen ones, then you're sadly mistaken.

The power elites in Washington, along with several banks, are plotting to devise a new dollar, one that they fully control. It involves digital currency.

Breitbart reported:

On November 15, 2022, several of the world’s biggest banks agreed to a shocking new plan — one that could lead to a complete overthrow of the U.S. dollar as we know it.

Sponsored by the New York Federal Reserve, participants in this plan include banking giants like Wells Fargo, Citigroup, HSBC, and Mastercard, just to name a few.

The pilot program — dubbed “Project Cedar” — would convert regular U.S. dollars into a brand-new type of dollar, which could have massive implications for all American citizens.

But “Project Cedar” is just the second step in a complete overhaul of the U.S. banking system.

The first step was announced on March 9, 2022, when President Biden signed Executive Order 14067.

This Executive Order gave legal provisions for this new U.S. dollar and could give the U.S. government unprecedented control over your money and freedom. 

This Executive Order gave legal provisions for this new U.S. dollar and could give the U.S. government unprecedented control over your money and freedom.

In fact, it could even pave the way for things like:

  • Legal government surveillance of all U.S. citizens
  • Total control over your bank accounts and purchases
  • And the ability to silence all dissenting voices for good

Biden Wants To Create Phony Digital Currency

When I first heard of Biden's plan to create phony digital money the other day, I was going to blog about it here. But Gary at The Federalist blog has it all presented out better than I could.

Here's a part of what he posted:


Phony Digital Biden Bucks

.

With digital "money" Big Brother government will just add zeros to the bank balances of their supporters and click "delete" on the accounts of their opponents.



(The Rutherford Institute)  The government wants your money.

It will beg, steal or borrow if necessary, but it wants your money any way it can get it.

Because the government’s voracious appetite for money, power and control has grown out of control, its agents have devised other means of funding its excesses and adding to its largesse through taxes disguised as fines, taxes disguised as fees, and taxes disguised as tolls, tickets and penalties.

No matter how much money the government pulls in, it’s never enough, so the government has come up with a new plan to make it even easier for its agents to seize Americans’ bank accounts.

Make way for the digital dollar.


With paper money abolished 
prepare for hyperinflation


In an Executive Order issued on March 9, 2022, President Biden called for the federal government to consider establishing a “U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).”

Similar to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, CBDCs would also be a form of digital money, but there the resemblance ends. If adopted, CBDCs would be issued by the Federal Reserve, the central banking system for the U.S. government. One CBDC digital dollar would equal the value of a physical dollar

And like the physical dollar, which ceased to be backed by gold more than 50 years ago, the CBDC would be considered a government-issued fiat currency that is backed by the strength and credit of the U.S. government. (Of course, that’s not saying much considering that much of the time, the U.S. government operates in the red.)

Trump's Executive Orders Smackdown of Pelosi and Schumer

Above, the smackdowned Schumer and Pelosi.

Following the breakdown in negotiations with the Democrats, President Trump issued some executive orders that put Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer into a frenzy.

They now want to go back to the negotiating table.

But what does the executive orders do?

Rush Limbaugh on Monday went over them:
Trump on Saturday signed a series of executive orders expanding the coronavirus economic relief to Americans struggling during the pandemic. There are four of these things, four of these executive orders. Let me go through them for you. 
The first executive order continues additional federal unemployment benefits at $400 a week. That is $200 a week less than the Democrats were demanding. And the states are expected to way one-fourth of this, or $100. The second executive order creates a payroll tax holiday for Americans earning less than a hundred thousand dollars annually. The third executive order extends the eviction moratorium on federal subsidized housing. And the fourth executive order suspends student loan payments. 
And this is still not, or it was still not, good enough for the Democrats. They blew up. Now, the media isn’t reporting it, but Trump is using FEMA money to pay for this. He’s just shifting the money from FEMA over to where he wants it to go here under the authority — are you ready for this? — under the authority of the 1988 Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, meaning it’s lawful. The Stafford Act is the law under which the executive branch provides assistance to state and local governments after a natural disaster, which the coronavirus lockdown surely is. 
Good grief. If there ever is a definition of a natural disaster caused by us, it is this, shutting down the U.S. economy and destroying it? So Trump is well within the law to do this, and he did it because he couldn’t get Pelosi and Schumer to go along with him. 
Oh. But then just this morning, 30 minutes before the program began, the president tweeted the following: “So now Schumer and Pelosi want to meet to make a deal. Amazing how it all works, isn’t it. Where have they been for the last 4 weeks when they were “hardliners”, and only wanted BAILOUT MONEY for Democrat run states and cities that are failing badly? They know my phone number!"
So Trump’s point is he issues the executive orders, takes care of the problem. They’re not part of it, their fingerprints are nowhere to be found on the solution. He is totally within his legal rights to have these executive orders, to issue them, now all of a sudden they want to talk to him. Now Schumer and Pelosi want to meet to make a deal.

And I have a companion story here in the Stack. Liz Peek, Fox News, the Fox Business Network — by the way, the Fox Business Network, they’re not nearly as politically focused as the Fox News Channel is. By definition, they wouldn’t be. They’re more focused on the business aspect of things. And Liz Peek has a story here: “Trump’s Big Win On Relief Orders – Here’s Why Pelosi, Schumer Are So Unhappy.”
Here's a snippet by Liz Peek:
What a smackdown! 
Furious that Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were blocking a bill to help Americans through the COVID-19 crisis, President Trump stepped up and got the job done, all by himself. 
Over the weekend, he issued four executive orders that would extend modified unemployment relief to millions who are out of work, protect many from eviction from their homes, provide continued relief from student loan debt and suspend payroll taxes for employers and those earning less than $100,000. It may not be enough, but it was more than Democrats were offering.

Trump Issues Executive Order Against Social Media Abuses



It was a long time in coming. It has support by both parties.

President Trump issued an executive order on social media, especially the giants like Facebook and Twitter, who practice censorship, shadow banning, "fact checking" and other acts on a selective basis.

According to Fox News:
Flanked by Attorney General Bill Barr, President Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office on Thursday that calls for new regulations under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 (CDA) to remove statutory liability protections and cut federal funding for tech companies that engage in censorship and political conduct.

The president's order came just two days after Twitter took the unprecedented step of slapping a "misleading" warning label on two of Trump's tweets concerning the fraud risks of nationwide mail-in balloting. The move immediately backfired: Experts disputed that Trump's tweet was actually misleading, given that mail-in balloting has been linked to ongoing fraud, and Twitter failed to apply the fact-check standard to others. 
At Thursday's signing ceremony, Trump called the fact-check "egregious," and held up a photo of Twitter executive Yoel Roth, who heads up the site's fact-checking operation. Fox News reported on Wednesday that Roth has mocked Trump supporters, called Trump's team "ACTUAL NAZIS," slammed "scary trannies," and called GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a "bag of farts." 
"My executive order calls for new regulations under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to make it so that social media companies that engage in censoring any political conduct will not be able to keep their liability shield," the president said.

He added: "My executive order further instructs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to prohibit social media companies from engaging in any deceptive acts or practices affecting commerce. This commerce resides in Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. ... Additionally, I'm directing the attorney general to work cooperatively with the states ... to enforce their own laws against such deceptive business practices. The states have broad and powerful authority to regulate in this arena." 
Under the CDA, platforms are ordinarily not liable for users' defamatory or otherwise problematic posts under the CDA, while publishers that actively shape content do face liability. Trump's order would empower the federal government to interpret and apply that legislation.
