GOVEROTRAGEOUS: How can a State not have “standing” to call the Federal Gooferment to account for not following the laws?

Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas’ Challenge to Biden Border Policy
Tyler O’Neil / @Tyler2ONeil / June 23, 2023

*** begin quote ***

The Supreme Court struck down a challenge to President Joe Biden’s border policy Friday, ruling that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge a policy the states claimed was illegal.

The Supreme Court Friday stuck down Texas and Louisiana’s legal challenge to new Biden administration border policies that violate federal statutes and harm citizens in Texas and Louisiana, the states argued. (Read the full ruling below.)

All justices besides Samuel Alito concurred in the opinion that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to challenge the new rules, which the Department of Homeland Security promulgated in 2021.

Texas and Louisiana argued that federal law requires law enforcement to arrest certain noncitizens upon their release from prison or entry of a final order of removal, but the new DHS rule only prioritizes the arrest and removal of noncitizens who are suspected terrorists or dangerous criminals who unlawfully entered the country recently. The states claimed that these rules harmed them by imposing extra costs by requiring them to continue to incarcerate or supply social services—such as health care and education—to noncitizens.

I just don’t understand.  No one seems to want to enforce the laws!

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Nirvana approach” whne comparing the Free Market ro Gooferment

Thursday, June 15, 2023

https://www.econlib.org/james-mackintoshs-misunderstanding-of-markets/

Harold Demsetz pointed out in a famous 1969 article that many economists use the “Nirvana approach.” They compare actual markets with ideal government programs run by all-knowing bureaucrats with benevolent motives rather than comparing actual markets with actual government.

# – # – # – # – # 

Let me know when someone finds any “government programs run by all-knowing bureaucrats with benevolent motives” because I’ve never seen any Gooferment program that works at all.

Argh!

These are thieves and you need now to read it, read the bill, and see where the money was stolen, who got which pork, who is going to get kickbacks, who is the bagman or bagmen, whose family is richer today due to it, this is all a game, a show of thieves and we should not be afraid to go back and examine every COVID relief and PPE $ money, all of it, every tax dollar linked to COVID for I am sure 90% was fraudulent and these beasts in government enriched themselves, kind of like the COVID Freedom Fighters, at least some of them. They came to ‘take’. 

*** end quote ***

I’d suggest a 10% bounty of every dollar clawed back from fraud, waste, and abuse.  Let’s put the free market to work punishing these thieves.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Is the FDIC outlived its usefulness and far exceeded that 205k$ limit

Saturday, May 20, 2023

https://wallstreetonparade.com/2023/05/fdic-seizure-of-foreign-deposits-at-svb-opens-pandoras-box-at-jpmorgan-chase-and-citi-which-hold-a-combined-1-trillion-in-foreign-deposits-with-no-fdic-insurance/

FDIC Seizure of Foreign Deposits at SVB Opens Pandora’s Box at JPMorgan Chase and Citi – Which Hold a Combined $1 Trillion in Foreign Deposits with No FDIC Insurance
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: May 15, 2023 ~

*** begin quote ***

If you have been following the banking crisis, you have likely read at least a dozen times that on March 12 federal banking regulators, with the consent of the U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, invoked the “systemic risk exception” in order to protect both insured and uninsured depositors at the two banks that failed in March – Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.

That’s why there were gasps of shock on Saturday evening at around 5:30 p.m. when the Wall Street Journal (paywall) published the stunning news that depositors in the Cayman Islands’ branch of Silicon Valley Bank had their deposits seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which they are unlikely to ever see again.

As Wall Street On Parade has previously reported, under statute, the FDIC cannot insure deposits held on foreign soil by U.S. banks. What it can do, however, is to sell those deposits to the bank that acquires the collapsed bank. In the case of Silicon Valley Bank, the acquiring bank was First Citizens Bancshares which, apparently, declined to purchase the foreign deposits in the secrecy jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands, a jurisdiction most notable recently for housing Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto house of frauds.

*** end quote ***

It’s hard to imagine any Gooferment policy, program, or agency that doesn’t far outlive its usefulness.

In this case, foreign depositors get screwed.

Soon it will be US depositors.  Time to unwind all the Government Sponsored Entities  — FDIC, FHA, FHLB, Fannie, Freddie, and Sallie.

Before it’s too late!

If it isn’t already.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Mexican police and “justice” fail!

Thursday, May 18, 2023

https://nypost.com/2023/05/17/roxana-ruiz-convicted-for-strangling-rapist-to-death/

Roxana Ruiz, who strangled her rapist, sentenced to 6 years in prison, activists slam decision
By Snejana Farberov  — May 17, 2023 1:27pm 

*** begin quote ***

Ruiz fought back and struck him in the face, causing a nosebleed.

The man then allegedly threatened to kill her.

In the struggle that followed, Ruiz grabbed a T-shirt and used it to strangle her attacker.

In a panic, Ruiz stuffed the man’s body in a bag and dragged it out to the street, where passing police caught her red-handed.

Despite telling police she had been raped and acted in self-defense, Carrera said a forensic exam was never taken — a crucial step in prosecuting sexual violence cases.

Instead, an officer allegedly told Ruiz that she probably wanted to have sex with the man at first and then changed her mind.

“I regret what I did, but if I hadn’t done it, I would be dead today,” Ruiz said in an interview last year.

“It’s evident that the state wants to shut us up, wants us to be submissive, wants us closed up inside, wants us dead,” she added.

*** end quote ***

Why are the police deciding not to do a “rape kit”?

If the facts as stated are correct, then this appears to be a miscarriage of justice.

Maybe she showed bad judgment but 6 years?

Women’s rights groups have repeatedly accused Mexican authorities of revictimizing survivors and failing to judge cases with a gender perspective.

FBI refuses to give Congress informant file alleging Biden took bribes as vice president
By Steven Nelson 
May 10, 2023 3:50pm

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON — The FBI has refused to give Congress an informant file alleging that President Biden took bribes while he was vice president, The Post has learned — setting up a possible showdown over access to the information.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a legally binding subpoena last week requiring the FBI to turn over the file by noon Wednesday, but the bureau instead replied with a six-page letter raising various objections.

“Information from confidential human sources is unverified and, by definition, incomplete,” wrote FBI acting assistant director for congressional affairs Christopher Dunham, who also argued that informant reports must also be kept private to protect sources.

*** end quote ***

Who do these people think they work for?

Congress should IMMEDIATELY defund the FBI!

Suspend the salaries of the non-worker bees (i.e., leadership).

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Why does PBS get Taxpayer money?

Tuesday, May 9, 2023

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12059267/Oklahoma-Gov-defends-decision-close-PBS-station-indoctrination-children.html

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt defends decision to close state’s PBS station OETA over ‘indoctrination and over-sexualization of children’ including reading of kids’ book about drag queen’s hips

  •     Shows on the network include ‘Sesame Street,’ ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,’ and ‘Clifford The Big Red Dog’
  •     Gov. Stitt’s veto means that the network will cease operations this year unless legislature overrides it
  •     He also criticized a Newshour feature that included parents’ support for gender-affirming treatments – including puberty blockers

# – # – # – # – # 

Of course, both the article and the Governor miss the point.  Why is the Gooferment subsidizing a TV network?  Does anyone think that Sesame Street can’t get on a network without the Gooferment money?

If the Taxpayers of Oklahoma want to subsidize PBS, then let them VOLUNTARILY contribute to the PBS negations that run regularly.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Isn’t an “unfunded mandate” the same as a “takings” under the Fifth Amendment?

 NYC co-op owners, covering over 800K apartments, rebel against massive climate law costing millions
By Carl Campanile
April 30, 2023 8:05pm 

*** begin quote ***

While supporting the goal of the Climate Change law, co-ops and condo owners said they need assistance to meet the new cleaner energy standards in what they called the “largest unfunded mandate in New York City history.”

*** end quote ***

I don’t support  — no surprise  — any type of “climate change” action until they can forecast accurately next month’s weather.  Chaos Theory seems to say that’s impossible.  And, on their way, they need to get China, India, and Pakistan to buy into this foolishness.

As an “on the ground” tactic, every such action should be opposed as a “taking” under the Fifth Amendment.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Gooferment “fixes” compliance with labeling laws

Manufacturers add sesame flour to avoid cleaning – compliance with labeling laws

*** begin quote ***

This obviously is not my story, but this definitely falls in the spirit of malicious compliance. Last year, President Biden signed the The Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education and Research (Faster) Act, which was intended to improve product labeling and cleaning around allergens. However, rather than clean better and safeguard against sesame cross-contamination, many manufacturers have started adding sesame flour deliberately into products that were previously sesame free. This relieves them of the burden of meticulous cleaning since the product is now clearly labeled as containing sesame. Malicious (corporate) compliance. Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/04/11/sesame-allergy-law-consequences/

Sure, pass a law, but don’t bother to worry about the Unintended Consequences!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: An example of the attack on hte American family

Tuesday, April 11, 2023

American News Apr 8, 2023 
Chico school board upholds ‘parental secrecy policy’ regarding students’ gender identity
Sara Higdon

  • “The day my daughter shared with her guidance counselor that she felt like a boy, the counselor immediately affirmed this new identity.”

*** begin quote ***

Wednesday evening the Chico Unified School Board in Chico, California voted 3-2 in favor of schools having the ability to keep secrets from parents. The board agreed to keep their current policy, which directs staff to not reveal a child’s gender identity to parents, it instead allows a child to determine when the school is allowed to tell parents about a change in their gender identity. 

According to a report from Fox News, the policy, called the “parental secrecy policy” by the school board, came up for a vote after the Center for American Liberty filed a lawsuit against the school district. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of Aurora Regino who told her story to the school board before the vote. The suit alleges that a school guidance counselor in the district helped Region’s 11-year old daughter transition without her knowledge or consent. 

*** end quote ***

Where does the Gooferment Skrule get off shoving the parents out of control that child?

At some point, when will “We, The Sheeple” wake up to this insidious conspiracy.
