It’s March, but it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, at least if you’re a woke activist. On Monday, the Biden regime released its plan to squander your hard-earned money, and if you’re a climate the-end-is-near doomsayer, or a man who is convinced you’re a woman, or even simply a “person of color,” you could be a jackpot winner, about to get your proclivities and peculiarities reinforced with a big bonanza of federal tax dollars.
Fox News reported Tuesday that House Republicans are “furious over ‘woke’ programs” that Old Joe and his henchmen want to shower money — your money, our money — on as part of his “$7.3 trillion budget request.” $7.3 trillion! Wow! That’s a lot of villas for Ukrainian oligarchs! But making the world safe for democracy by laundering money in Kyiv is not even close to the end of the outrages that Biden’s woke budget includes for any American who is still sane and even remotely patriotic.
Above all, the Biden regime’s 188-page proposal for funding the federal leviathan wants you to fork over more even money than you already do for the bloated bureaucracy in Washington. How much is enough? Not as much as what you’re paying now.
Fox says that the budget proposal “lays out roughly $5 trillion in tax increases overall, which the White House said would be split evenly between corporations and the top 2% of earners,” but that’s just Democrat party propaganda. Even if the tax hikes only apply to “corporations and the top 2% of earners,” which is dubious at the outset in light of past broken promises, the increased costs will be passed on to you and me.
“Tax hikes for the rich” are illusory; rather than cut the salaries of ordinary employees to meet increased expenses, big corporations will simply raise prices. The tax hikes on the rich are tax hikes on us.
Wait, it gets worse. “The document pointed to $3 billion for the State Department to ‘advance gender equity and equality worldwide.’” Isn’t that wonderful? When you look around the world and see war in Ukraine and Gaza, a Muslim genocide of Christians in Nigeria, and North Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran breathing threats and murder, isn’t the first thing that springs to your mind regarding what this tired, sad world needs is American money to advance “gender equity and equality”?
Note also that this money — which is, once again, your money — is going not just for gender “equality,” which would mean equality of opportunity, but also for gender “equity,” which would mean equality of outcome. All human beings have different talents, abilities, and aptitudes, but in the Marxist vision of the workers’ paradise, all those differences have been obliterated, and a collectivist uniformity has erased all distinctions between people.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Unbelievable. Grotesque. And more.

About that picture , eating ice cream is the only thing that Joe Biden is good at doing. In everthing else Biden is a complete and total disaster.
