Biden Turns to Venezuela

Despite the establishment casting Vladimir Putin in a 24/7 version of the Two Minutes Hate, the Biden Regime continues to import massive quantities of oil from Russia, funding his war effort. We wouldn’t need to do this if our rulers would take their boot off the neck of the domestic oil industry. They choose instead to find alternatives to Russia — namely, Russian allies that are no less tyrannical and hostile to the USA.

First it was Iran. Now senior American officials have been dispatched to the socialist dictatorship that serves Democrats as a role model, Venezuela:

In 2019, the United States broke off diplomatic relations with the socialist government of Nicolas Maduro due to allegations of electoral fraud. The Trump administration closed the American embassy in Venezuela and issued sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports and senior members of the country’s government.

The Trump Administration recognized Juan Guaido as the legitimate president of Venezuela. Looks like that’s out the window now.

This is spun as driving a wedge between Russia and Venezuela. Actually, it will drive another wedge between Americans and our own oil. Democrats hope they can display their reverence for the climate by showering money on Nicolas Maduro rather than allowing us to profit from our own resources.

Warning From Venezuela

There’s a signpost ahead. No, it doesn’t read, “You are entering the Twilight Zone.” We already passed that one when conspicuously demented leftist corruptocrat Joe Biden took power. The sign coming up reads, “Welcome to Venezuela”:

Prior to Chavez, Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America and a stable democracy. Now it is an authoritarian hellhole.

The same kind of people pushing the same ideology now control the US Government. They have the same agenda: crush economic freedom, ban gun ownership, ban dissent as “hate speech,” pack the supreme court, and print increasingly worthless money to finance extravagant spending.

Soon, people will be saying that prior to Biden, America was wealthy and free.

They Say Scandinavia but They Mean Venezuela

Among the many lies that leftists are attempting to transform into accepted truth through constant repetition is that the Nordic countries are socialist, are paradises, and are the model for what Democrats want to fundamentally transform America into. Actually, they are trying to transform the country into Venezuela, as Debbie D’Souza can recognize, being from there:

In some respects, the USA is already closer to socialism than Sweden, Denmark, and Norway are — but so long as we don’t have to wait in breadlines and the lights still come on when we flip the switch, we aren’t close enough to suit Democrats.

Illegal Immigrants Know They Can Seize Your House

Under anarchotyrannical liberal rule, squatters have more rights to American homes than their owners do (see here, here, here, here, here, etc.). Word of this has gotten out to the migrant community:

Venezuelan national Leonel Moreno, who appears to live in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, said in a recent video that under US law, “if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.” …

Moreno claimed in the viral TikTok clip, which has drawn more than 3.9 million views, that he has “African friends” who have “already taken about seven homes.”

If they have a right to invade our country, why not to steal our homes? Conquerors have certain privileges.

Illegal Aliens Do Not Need to Obey Our Laws

Since illegal aliens are not expected to obey our laws regarding immigration, there is no reason for them to obey other laws. They occupy a higher stratum of our tiered justice system than people who are in the country legally. Democrats have made it official:

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) attempted to bring a vote to the floor that would require Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) to detain illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes.

Despite receiving a unanimous consent request, Ernst’s effort to prevent avoidable attacks at the hands of illegal immigrants was thwarted by Democrat Majority Whip Dick Durbin (IL) who rejected the request.

Regarding the context,

Ernst requested unanimous bipartisan consent to bring her bill Sarah’s Law to the floor for a vote. The senator created the legislation in response to the death of 21-year-old Sarah Root who was killed by Edwin Meija in 2016, an illegal immigrant and repeat criminal offender who had been street racing while drunk…

The Republican senator too to the Senate floor to speak on the bill also mentioned the tragic recent death of Laken Riley, 22. Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, has been charged with murder in connection with the case and is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela with prior criminal history.

Sarah Root and Laken Riley were American and therefore expendable. The whole point of Democrat border policy is to ensure people like them don’t exist in the future.

In moonbatty Maine, illegal aliens who put our lives at risk by characteristically driving drunk not only won’t be detained by ICE, much less deported, they won’t even be charged:

The District Attorney of Maine’s most populous county will no longer charge individuals, including illegal aliens, who are caught driving without a license, driving with a suspended registration, or driving an unregistered motor vehicle.

The new policy change, which will take effect on March 1, was announced in a memo distributed this week by Cumberland County District Attorney Jacqueline A. Sartoris.

Like so many others (e.g., Alvin Bragg [New York], George Gascon [Los Angeles], Kim Foxx [Chicago], Kim Ogg [Houston], Larry Krasner [Philadelphia], Chesa Boudin [San Francisco], Kim Gardner [St Louis], Marilyn Mosby [Baltimore], Monique Worrell [central Florida], Jason Williams [New Orleans], Pamela Price [Oakland]), Sartoris was installed in office by George Soros, #1 donor to the Democratic Party:

Sartoris won her DA gig after a DC-based political action committee funded by billionaire George Soros dumped $300,000 into her election campaign.

The policy facilitates the lawlessness of the waste the Third World flushes across our undefended border:

Although the new non-charging policy will apply to all drivers in Cumberland County, the traffic violations in question are commonly associated with individuals who are present in the U.S. illegally and therefore cannot obtain Driver’s Licenses or vehicle registrations.

This will advance not only the Great Replacement but also the Soros goal of promoting anarchy:

Typically, non-charging memoranda have a trickle down effect that result in law enforcement stopping to even attempt enforcement of laws which they know will never apply.

Only when American civilization has come unraveled can its enemies sweep away what’s left of it and impose their nightmarish visions.

Migrant Conquerors Express Dissatisfaction

We abandon our national sovereignty for their sake and shovel our money at them by the $billions upon $billions, and all our government asks in return is that they vote Democrat. Yet some of the grasping Third-Worlders leftists have allowed to swamp the country are displeased with the arrangement:

A migrant was cited earlier this month after allegedly trespassing at O’Hare International Airport.

Upon arrival, responding officers located [Dhian] Gomez-Mendoza, who was allegedly screaming and yelling while running in and out of the terminal.

The police told him to leave, but he refused.

Gomez-Mendoza allegedly told police that he wants to go back to Venezuela and will “do whatever that takes,” even if that means “beating up a police officer or hurting a civilian.”

Gomez-Mendoza is not the only homesick migrant to wash up in Chicago:

Also itching to go back to Venezuela is 30-year-old Jhoni Montes.

Chicago police arrested him at Macy’s, 111 North State, on February 9 after store security reported that he and another man tried to shoplift three suitcases worth $1,634. …

While being charged with retail theft, he told officers “he was stealing to go back to Venezuela,” according to his arrest report.

If they actually do go back to Venezuela, Chicagoans won’t miss them:

Angry Chicago residents railed against local leaders at a city council meeting Wednesday as tensions run high over the national illegal immigrant crisis.

Some suspect that failed countries are not sending their best and brightest:

“All this asylum-seeking lie, all this about refugees — no, no, no. What’s happening is they’re emptying out the dregs of their jails into the United States and to our communities,” one Chicago resident said during public comments at Wednesday’s meeting.

“They’re junking up our country. And yeah, we feel some kind of way about it because it’s our country,” the resident said.

You know it’s bad when inhabitants of the hellhole that launched the careers of Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, and Barack Obama and that elected Brandon Johnson to be mayor complain about getting junked up.

It isn’t just the USA. Italians have submitted to eradication through demographic displacement. Yet it appears the welfare colonists to whom they have turned over the future find the accommodations lacking:

You don’t get gratitude from conquerors.

Pillaging Invaders Drag Woman From Moped

In New York City, it has been established that illegal aliens can beat police officers with impunity because they have the liberal establishment on their side. That means they can do anything they please. It means this:

The moment a migrant on a moped dragged a woman along a New York City street to steal her phone was caught in horrifying footage shared by police.

Moonbats will happily seize on this evidence that local police are systemically racist. No wonder undocumented Democrats enjoy kicking them in the head.

Three migrants were arrested by the NYPD after they allegedly went on a crime spree that saw them stealing wallets and cellphones from at least 62 women across the city’s seven boroughs.

Odds are they will not remain in custody for long. That’s why they come to New York, as even CNN has learned.

Canadian Pushback Against Federal Energy Moonbattery

Canada has vast energy resources. But then, so does Venezuela. That’s no guarantee the lights will stay on with moonbats in control. Fortunately, Alberta is pushing back against Justin Trudeau and the rest of the leftists running the federal government, who want Canadians to freeze in the dark in obeisance to their climate cult:

Alberta’s United Conservative government has invoked its controversial Sovereignty Act for the first time by introducing a resolution to push back against the federal government’s proposed Clean Electricity Regulations.

The resolution calls for ignoring insane federal energy mandates to the extent law allows.

The Clean Electricity Regulations, currently in draft form, lay out the rules for getting Canada’s electricity grid to net zero emissions by 2035.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the deadline is impossible for the province to meet without risking blackouts and high costs for consumers.

Blackouts and high costs will be par for the course if liberals maintain control. See California for details.

Hats off to Danielle Smith:

If pushback continues, Trudeau may fall back upon the Emergencies Act to impose martial law, as he did when there was resistance to his Covid tyranny.

At least Covid actually existed. The climate crisis that supposedly necessitates depriving Canadians of reliable and affordable energy is an imaginary contrivance.

Expect similar conflict on the US side of the border — unless Americans are content to go without electricity for the sake of liberal ideology.

Pro-Hamas Insurrection at the White House

It doesn’t involve anyone right of center complaining about election fraud, so it will not receive more than passing mention from the media, much less elaborate Soviet-style show trials, but there has been yet another insurrection in the District of Corruption, this one featuring the Muslim–moonbat alliance. Western Journal reports:

A White House fence was vandalized Saturday night by pro-Palestinian protesters who doused red paint on it.

During the rowdy protest, marchers rattled a gate while one demonstrator climbed the black gate to wave a Palestinian flag.

A nearby statue of General Marquis de Lafayette in Lafayette Park was tagged with graffiti and festooned with Palestinian flags…

Despite calls from fools like Nikki Haley to import massive numbers of Palestinians, the USA has not yet been invaded by Arab hordes. The crowd apparently included a large number of domestic moonbats:

The activists who converged on the White House fence had come from the earlier protest in Freedom Plaza, in which a crowd of tens of thousands of people protested against Israel’s military operations targeting Hamas, a terrorist organization, as well as President Joe Biden’s support for Israel. Organizations including Code Pink and the National Students For Justice in Palestine organized the protest, according to Code Pink’s promotional website for the event.

Regarding the Biden Regime’s supposed support for Israel, it has ineptly attempted to take both sides, belying dutiful statements in support of Israel by handing Hamas a $100 million reward for the October 7 terror atrocities and denouncing Americans for being “Islamophobic” as part of a pro-Islam propaganda campaign.

Add this to the list of insurrections that don’t count as insurrections, like the last pro-Hamas insurrection a couple of weeks ago, leftists occupying Kevin McCarthy’s office at the Capitol, congresscritters Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Maxine Waters calling for the overthrow of the American system of government in front of the Supreme Court, and at the state level, the anti-gun rights insurrection in Tennessee.

“Free Palestine” refers to the plan to eradicate Jews from their homeland, as the mob confirmed with the infamous call for genocide, “From the river to the sea.”

Illegal Aliens Culturally Enrich NYC as Eric Adams Flounders

Living in Manhattan at the time, I witnessed a remarkable transformation when Mayor Rudy Giuliani took over from the moonbat David Dinkins in 1994. The Deuce — the stretch of 42nd Street west of Times Square — went from a cesspool of pornography and prostitution to a wholesome tourist draw. Unfortunately, under Democrat rule, the “fundamental transformation” promised by Obama works in the opposite direction:

New York City has a huge new red light district thanks to the arrival of hordes of female Venezuelan migrants who are working as prostitutes, Mayor Eric Adams said.

Roosevelt Avenue in the Corona neighborhood of Queens is filled with Venezuelan migrants offering sex services in the open-air, so-called ‘Market of Sweethearts.’

Thanks to the collapse of rule of law in New York following Black Lives Matter, illegal activities can be conducted out in the open.

In recent weeks sex workers have been seen walking the streets during the day, with many aggressively soliciting even as children get out of school or during their lunch hour, as reported by Pix 11.

Children learn fast these days, if not when it comes to the three R’s.

When asked by reporters about the open-air sex market, Adams said the situation has been brought to his attention, and he has visited the area himself, confirming that ‘illegal’ activity is taking place publicly at all hours of the day and night.

Many of the prostitutes arrived from socialism’s latest spectacular failure (i.e., previously wealthy Venezuela) across our deliberately undefended border.

It is unclear if those women were sex workers at home and if they are selling their bodies of their own free will, or if they have been trafficked and coerced.

Best not to dig into this question too deeply. That might anger the liberal establishment the way Sound of Freedom did.

Adams blames federal authorities. He has a point:

In September, the Biden administration issued temporary legal status for an estimated 472,000 Venezuelans who had arrived in the country as of July 31. That was on top of the 242,000 who were previously covered under TPS grants in 2021 and 2022.

However, Adams helped cause the problem himself by barking even recently that the border should remain open, by declaring NYC to be a sanctuary city, and by offering extravagant financial incentives to illegal aliens. Now that it has gotten so out of hand that even he admits illegal aliens will “destroy” the city, he is attempting to deal with the crisis by the traditional liberal tactic of throwing other people’s money at it:

New York City is now steering migrants to a new “reticketing center” where they can secure a free one-way plane ticket anywhere in the world — as Mayor Eric Adams scrambles to free up space in the Big Apple’s already-overburdened shelter system. …

Some of the migrants who have taken up the city’s offer have already booked plane tickets as far away as Morocco, Politico reported.

Cost? Let’s not worry about cost. A federal bailout for NYC is only a matter of time. Then Biden can just print the money.

Even if a few undocumented Democrats take them up on the free airfare offer, it won’t be near enough. Another massive caravan of invaders is approaching through Mexico, secure in the knowledge that the border will remain undefended because the USA is ruled by its worst enemies.

No sympathy for the city that elected this clown.

Not All Refugees Are Welcome

As the border crisis spirals out of control, the Biden Regime responds by granting legal status to 470,000 illegal aliens from the socialist basket case Venezuela, encouraging Third World hordes to invade in still greater numbers so as to displace the American population, transforming the country forever. The border is wide open, and it seems that once in the country, anyone from anywhere can avoid deportation by claiming refugee status. But there are exceptions:

Uwe Romeike and his wife Hannah moved their seven children to the U.S. in 2008 to avoid religious persecution in their native land, where the parents had pulled their children from public schools to teach them at home.

They were heavily fined, and armed police dragged their kids off to public school, which is presumably no more suitable for Christians in Germany than it is in the USA, where at least it isn’t mandatory.

After moving to the United States the family settled in Morristown, Tennessee. Uwe Romeike now works as a piano accompanist at Carson-Newman University, a private Baptist-affiliated school in nearby Jefferson City.

An earlier agreement granted them indefinite deferred action status so they would not be deported. But under increasingly radical Democrat rule, that agreement has been arbitrarily revoked. They have been told to prepare for deportation. Their kind of refugee is not welcome.

Brandon Johnson Wants Government Grocery Stores

After leftists like Justin Trudeau are finished deliberately destroying supermarkets in the Marxist tradition of controlling the population through the food supply, grocery stores will be run by the government. Chicago’s leftist Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to skip to that stage straight away:

Johnson said he wants to open city-owned grocery stores to serve neighborhoods that have become “food deserts” after four Walmart stores and a Whole Foods closed.

At least the government stores might get a police presence to protect them from the mobs of shoplifters who created the “food deserts.” Then again, with explicitly pro-criminal Johnson in charge, they probably won’t.

According to the Chicago Police Department, thefts are up 25% to-date year over year. Robberies are up 11%.

That’s what Chicagoans voted for. The city has entered the terminal stage of the Democrat Death Spiral and will soon resemble Detroit and Mogadishu

To get an idea of how well the government grocery stores will be stocked, visit the USSR. No wait, that collapsed. Visit Venezuela. But whatever food might be found will be produced in accordance with global warming theology, and no doubt there will be special discounts for “marginalized” racial and sexual groups.

Depleted US Military Promises Equipment to Enemies

Because the country is going insane, inviting a massive invasion and then refusing to defend the border are evidently not sufficient to get Joe Biden and his handlers tried for treason. Maybe this will suffice: in the name of picking a fight with nuclear-armed scapegoat Russia over the irrelevant conflict in Ukraine, Biden et al. have offered to supply military equipment to some of our worst enemies, including the Marxist regimes in Cuba and Venezuela.

Via Independent Sentinel:

U.S. SouthCom Commander General Laura Richardson spoke to the Atlantic Council on January 19th. She explained that the Biden administration offered Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and six other Latin American nations U.S. military equipment if they’ll give old Russian weapons to Ukraine.

If they will give outlandishly expensive Abrams tanks to the tyrannical corruptocrats running Ukraine, maybe Miguel Diaz-Canel and Nicolas Maduro can expect some too. It would be trivial compared to the $billions in US military equipment Biden gifted to our Taliban enemies after they provided a base for the 9/11 attacks.

Meanwhile,

To date, the U.S. military has provided a “staggering” amount of military hardware and munitions to Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s invasion, amounting to more than $27 billion. This U.S. support has included over 1 million rounds of 155 mm howitzer ammunition. …

An in-depth study conducted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) euphemistically described the U.S. military’s own remaining stockpiles of the 155 mm howitzer rounds, Javelin anti-tank missiles, and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles as a result of providing so many, so quickly to Ukraine as “limited.” …

The CSIS study explains that “limited” means that “there would be risks” in the form of degradations to military “unit training,” which might become “more difficult” due to insufficient munitions inventories. There would also be other, more strategic risks in the form of degraded “support” for “war plans,” which might include a Chinese invasion of Taiwan…

His ChiCom benefactors must be pleased with Joe Biden.

Experts Move Doomsday Clock Closer to Midnight

It came as a relief when moonbats saved us from the boiling oceans by planting pocket forests in Paris, but we are not out of the woods yet. Thanks to the liberal establishment’s favorite foreign bogeyman, we remain on the cusp of annihilation:

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced Tuesday that it has moved its metaphorical Doomsday Clock closer than ever to midnight, the hypothetical hour of Armageddon, reflecting experts’ assessment that humanity is confronting unprecedented threats to its existence.

The 2023 countdown time was set at “90 seconds to midnight,” the group’s leaders announced in a press conference at the National Press Club. This new time was 10 seconds closer to “doomsday” than it was set to a year ago. The group has been measuring real and existential threats to humankind, from climate change to the prospects of nuclear war, for more than 70 years.

They have to cover both real and “existential” threats like climate change because the only real threat we face is leftist rule, which is doing to the USA what it did to Venezuela. Yet that isn’t mentioned by The Experts.

This year, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s thinly veiled threat to deploy nuclear weapons in the conflict raised the global threat to humanity, the group said.

If we want to avoid nuclear war, we should stop provoking Putin and meddling in his backyard. Some are even calling for inducting Ukraine into NATO, which is what Russia invaded Ukraine to prevent. You want a nuclear war, that’s how you get one.

The renewed global threat of nuclear war was compounded by the ongoing Covid pandemic, experts noted.

They won’t be done squeezing panic out of Covid until the ChiComs cook up the next pandemic.

The solution to all this impending ruin is to advance globalism, as a moonbat makes clear:

“The challenges outlined by today’s announcement by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists could not be more global in nature,” said Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland. “No one country can tackle them on their own, no matter how large their population, how strong their economy, or how feared their military.”

American leadership is no longer welcome. A global order like they dream about in Davos is required.

Maybe that’s why the liberal elite uses the pathetic Joe Biden as its figurehead. It would be hard to come up with a better argument against American leadership.

Speaking of pathetic, Paul Ehrlich — who became a laughing stock after the hysterical predictions that he rode to fame back in the 60s turned out to be spectacularly wrong — was recently provided with a platform by 60 Minutes. He shrieks that we are still doomed and that “humanity is not sustainable.”

There will always be reasons to panic, so long as authoritarians want power. Also, there is money to be made. Buy your own doomsday clock today.
