My latest in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden’s handlers have asked Congress for $30 billion, which means that you better brace yourselves for significant tax increases in the near future. According to NBC News, $23.6 billion of this is slated to go to deal with the devastation from Hurricane Ida and other natural disasters; the other $6.4 billion, meanwhile, is to cover the expenses of resettling 94,000 Afghans in the United States. And really, now, what could possibly go wrong?
NBC explained that “the U.S. anticipates bringing 64,000 Afghans to the U.S. by the end of this month and 30,000 over the next 12 months, the official said. Of the funding for the refugees, $2.4 billion will go to pay for the Defense Department’s operations overseas where the Afghans are being held and processed. An additional $1.7 billion will go to the Department of Health and Human Services to provide funding and resources to the Afghans to help them set up a new home in the U.S.”
This U.S. taxpayer money would also “go to support transportation costs between overseas processing sites and the United States, security screenings, humanitarian assistance, public health screenings and vaccinations. The administration official said Afghans ‘will receive similar benefits to refugees.’ After 12 months in the U.S., the Afghans will be eligible to apply to become LPRs — lawful permanent residents — and receive so-called ‘green cards.’”
And of course all of the applicants will get those green cards no matter what they have done, up to and including slitting the throat of a woman for committing the crime of having a job, as an Afghan migrant did a few days ago in Germany. What are Western authorities going to do — deport them back to Afghanistan? With the Taliban reaching new lows in human rights abuses practically every day, there is zero chance of that. The Afghan evacuees are here to stay.
While this may thrill naïve multiculturalists and Catholic bishops, there are good reasons to temper our enthusiasm about all this. Let’s assume, although we don’t really have any good reason to do so in light of the Biden administration’s refusal to admit the reality of the global Islamic jihad, that the security screenings this $6.4 billion will pay for are completely, one-hundred-percent effective. Does that mean that the people who will soon be our neighbors will have no trouble whatsoever adjusting to American society?
Consider, for example, the fact that according to a Pew Research Center survey in 2013 (and there is no reason to think anything has changed since then), 73% of Afghans believe that Islamic law, Sharia, is not devised by human beings, but is the perfect and unalterable law of Allah. There are plenty of people in America now who believe that, but fully 99% of the Afghans surveyed stated that they believed Sharia should be the law of the land. Might any of them be among Biden’s handlers’ 94,000 evacuees? Might they have difficulty accepting a secular republic in which the government derives its authority not from Allah, but from the consent of the governed?
There is more. Read the rest here.
roberta says
Only 6.4 billion? Cumonman we can do better than that. Our shared values depend on it.
I made 6.4 billion last month doing adds on Google.
With that kind of money they will hardly be able to afford to buy jets to crash into our cities.
They wont have any money left over to pay translators for the effing million Afghani translators
that we are welcoming in.
Im also sooooo sick of hearing the word ”vetted” wtf Vetted mi trasero blanco
Boog says
That is almost $70k each.
Our government is full of fools.
Keys says
Ya, Boog, and it will cost taxpayers 3x that much for the government to administer the resettlement program.
Of course the “program” will be administered by high salary Democrat appointed bureaucrats. No doubt we will need the program for at least 12 more years until the fundamental changes in the USA are completed.
gravenimage says
Good point, Boog.
Infidel says
I think they meant $6.4 trillion: I doubt that they are as cheap as to propose mere billions!
Bikinis not Burkas says
The US Government hasn’t learned from 9/11 or all of the many Jihadist attacks on US soil.
Bring a vote to the people, let them decide if they want the US to become an Islamic country.!
gravenimage says
Biden’s Handlers Want You to Cough Up $6.4 Billion to Resettle 94,000 Afghans in the U.S.
………..
Of course they do. Then there is all the “humanitarian aid” to fund the Taliban itself…
Infidel says
There are days that I wish our constitution had a special provision for a military coup when our leaders start breaking the law. Except that our military is becoming just as compromised
CogitoErgoSum says
Will have to be up to the individual states to break away and start over – which will mean a second Civil War.
CogitoErgoSum says
Difference will be that this time the states wanting to keep other states from leaving the Union will be flying the rainbow flag while those wanting to leave and start over will be flying the Stars and Stripes (just with fewer stars maybe).
Hank says

Ah Yes, that rainbow flag that keeps popping up on every roof.
Crafty agenda LGBTQ***
Bikinis not Burkas says
That would play right into the hands of the Chinese without a United country!
tgusa says
Democrats are and have been playing right in to the hands of our adversaries including China. I’m not sure how a civil war would makes things worse except that civil war would lead to death and destruction. But right now we are on a path to death and destruction without a hot civil war. The USA is much more divided than it was in 1861. Counting on democrats in a war would mean certain defeat.
What happens if the democrats start a civil war only to find out that most of their supporters were fake just like their voters in the last election? What happens if a party starts a civil war thinking they have 50 percent of the people behind them but finds out that they really only have around 20 percent on their side?
I guess democrats could call on general milley vanilly if he is done painting his toe nails.
gravenimage says
Infidel, I don’t want to throw away our freedoms for a nonentity like Biden. And if things are bad now, can you imagine what they’d be like with a military junta in power?
Infidel says
We don’t have our freedoms – given the way not just the ruling class but also corporate America has bent over and done things like mandating vaccinations if people wish to remain employed. And SCOTUS won’t back that up, given their fear of court-packing. Essentially, the Left has control of not just the executive and legislature, but even the judiciary: ACB and Kavanaugh are happy to rubberstamp whatever John Roberts says: the abortion ruling was an exception, and that too on ‘standing’. The coup I suggested would be needed to win back our freedoms, as opposed to giving them away
gravenimage says
I take your point, Infidel–but we still have the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and can invoke them–this would alll be out the window with a military coup. Be careful what you wish for…
tgusa says
Infidel,
Democrats are already stating that the real enemy is non democrat non leftist Americans. I saw this comment at another site.
“The period after the Afghanistan debacle subsides will be very dangerous. The humiliated regime will be looking to reassert itself, and since it lacks the credibility to act abroad, they will look closer to home like the guy who gets punked at work going home to beat his wife.”
Eventually democrats will end up stuck between muslims they brought in and non democrat non leftist Constitutional Americans. That would be the definition of, no mans land. Democrats are sowing the seeds of their own destruction. Democrats are just too dumb to realize that. We need to just keep doing what we are doing and supporting what we support as Constitutional Americans and like Kurt Russel’s character says at the end of the movie The Thing, lets just sit here for awhile and see what happens.
Infidel says
Graven, you can’t ‘invoke’ a constitution if the judiciary won’t take it up, the executive won’t implement it and the legislature won’t make them abide
tgusa, the Dems will try and embrace the jihad to avoid getting ousted by them. However, my point was that w/ nobody there to either interpret, enforce and hold the first 2 accountable, the Dems and the jihadists would have a field day. I’m not sure that 1-3 years is not enough for them to pull off their ‘crowdout’ plan, as Andrew Wilkow calls it
gravenimage says
Infidel, I still think that your idea that our throwing out the Consitution is a good idea is a serious mistake. I think we should be supporting our hard-won freedoms–not gleefully chucking them out. If we do that, we have nothing.
tgusa says
Yes Infidel. We are in some very dangerous times. It is as if the western world began to descend in to madness in the wake of 9-11. It doesn’t matter if one is a believer or not. It is as if the four horsemen of the apocalypse have been set loose on their mission of Pestilence, War, Famine and Death.
tgusa says
I have always believed that there is no living together with the democrats. I came to that conclusion by watching what they do for decades. Muslims will never be good democrats so democrats importing them for their vote is suicide. Democrats have shown that they don’t deserve Constitutional rule but we do. A ticklish situation it is.
Walter Sieruk says
The foolishness and dangerous folly of Joe Biden and his staff has no limits.
In addition this situation of America in this year is unbelievable. For this is the first time in the history of the United States that this nation has no real US President. Instead this country now has only a criminally installed figurehead.
James Lincoln says
Very true, Walter.
Not only is Biden a fraudulent US “puppet” President, he is also demented /dim bulb / sociopath.
somehistory says
-Well, with fewer people working, he’ll be taking back the money he is doling out every week in unemployment…unless that has ended and he has to come up with another plan.
biden, the chinese noodle-brain, has ordered the labor department to begin fining companies who have100 or more employees and are not forcing these to get the clot shot.
Many people have already been fired for refusing to get the jab….something they are supposed to be able by Law…U.S. and Nuremberg… without being punished…to do..
Now, fire all those people…nearly 100 million have chosen not to take the shot for whatever reasons, their own reasons, and they shouldn’t have to say why…and how many will be working to pay taxes for these mozlums…including an untold number of terrorists, a large number of pedorapists who have brought their victims along for the ride, and general moochers who believe that we all “owe” them everything they want?
The millionaires and billionaires…in the pharma industry, former presidents and their wives, former pretend presidents and their “wives,” pelosi, schumer, durbin, etc. should be willing to fork over whatever is needed to care for their pets. Not to forget gates and soros. They can all do their part to take care of these people they want to be here.

Ade Fegan says
No need to cough anything up
We can just go further into debt
Job done by Biden logic
Maemae77 says
Our dhimmitude status with imposed jizya under Islamic rule is slowly becoming a reality as our jizya was just raised under the guise of helping “refugees”. Our own government is becoming more and more sharia compliant.
James Lincoln says
Democrats are getting what they want: so-called “refugees” (Democrat voters) through our southern border and now flown in from the Middle East.
Maybe the chaotic and abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan was by design…
Infidel says
Yeah, thinking about it, design seems a more credible explanation for botching this withdrawal, rather than stupidity. Letting the Afghan government collapse suddenly opens up the floodgates of refugee seekers, which the Dems are only too happy to get. AOC wants 200k refugees admitted, which under chain migration rules, can quickly snowball to 2 million. Settle them in red states, and they can make even more states go the way of Minnesota or Colorado
Other advantage of flying in those refugees: they can fly them anywhere, whereas people coming across the border, unless they are transported, would tend to remain in the 4 border states
somehistory says
Absolutely by design. the one fool even admitted it, “It was all carefully ***planned.***”
And the chinese noodle-brain has said over and over it was a “success.”
OLD GUY says
Yes cough it up you American tax payer to take care of Islamic migration invaders, while your veterans are homeless along with our citizens suffering from mental health or drug related problems. What happened to the American country that was of the people and for the people? Our politicians are not addressing the issues of our population and needs of our tax paying citizens.
We need to take care of our own citizens and country and stay the hell out of fun ding ever other country in the world. For the most part we are wasting our money and funding the elite and political leaders of these countries lavish lifestyles. I know I left out the kick backs, the Hunter system and the Biden family is not the only American political family gaming our foreign aid programs.
tgusa says
They should be relocated to majority muslim countries but now that they are here put them all in Delaware for the time being. The unaware in Delaware might not even notice, for now.
