Kamala Harris, former U.S. Senator from California and now running for President, continues to push policies that align with an aggressive foreign policy stance that includes active wars overseas. Similarly, Indiana’s Jim Banks, a former Congressman and now a candidate for U.S. Senate, has shown a concerning alignment with the Military-Industrial Complex through his voting record from 2017 to the present.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Indiana Congressman Jim Banks have both faced scrutiny for accepting donations from political action committees (PACs) and organizations with ties to defense contractors and companies that profit from war. These contributions have raised concerns among some voters who oppose U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts. Both Harris and Banks have received support from entities that manufacture weapons and military equipment, highlighting the influence of the defense industry on American politics.

Critics argue that this financial backing underscores a troubling connection between policymakers and the corporations that benefit from prolonged military engagements.

After using political connections to secure his primary win, Banks now refuses to debate seasoned Libertarian Andrew Horning, who has gained respect for his anti-war, liberty-driven platform. Banks' Senate bid follows Mike Braun's decision to run for Governor, leaving the Senate seat open.

Jim Banks’s voting record: All of Banks voting records have been verified with the U.S. House of Representatives and is public record.

FAIR Take | February 2023
Bills to grant driver’s licenses to illegal aliens are gaining momentum in Indiana. In both legislative chambers, these bills have passed their initial committees of reference. 

If Indiana does pass a driver’s license bill for illegal aliens that is signed by Governor Eric Holcomb (R), it would be the first state completely controlled by Republicans to do so and would be complicit in the Biden administration’s efforts to circumvent our nation’s immigration laws.

The Senate Bill, SB 248, sponsored by Senator Blake Doriot (R-Goshen) would issue a “driving privilege card” to illegal aliens who show proof they have paid taxes for at least one year, submit fingerprints for a criminal background check, and have auto insurance.  Senator Doriot claims the driving privileges cards are needed because these individuals “are participating in our economy, in our society.

It is unlawful for illegal aliens to work in the United States. (8 USC 1324a)

SB 248 narrowly passed the Senate Homeland Security and Transportation Committee on February 7 by a 5-4 vote. 

House Bill (HB) 1050 sponsored by Representative Jim Pressel (R-Rolling Prairie) differs from SB 248. 

It purports not to give driver’s licenses to illegal aliens but rather only to individuals with “lawful status” including individuals paroled into the United States, those with a pending or approved application for asylum, those with a pending or approved application for temporary protected status, or those with an approved deferred action status. But by doing this, HB 1050 essentially gives a driver’s license to every individual the Biden Administration is allowing into the country contrary to our immigration laws. Many state Attorney Generals, including Indiana’s Attorney General Todd Rokita, have challenged the Biden Administration’s immigration policies, yet now Indiana lawmakers want to grant a driver’s license to those individuals who benefitted from those unlawful policies that contravene our immigration laws.. This bill which appears to limit the issuance of driver’s licenses in reality will provide them to practically every alien.

On February 7, HB 1050 unanimously passed the House Roads and Transportation Committee, which is chaired by Representative Pressel, the bill’s sponsor.  It has been referred to the Ways and Means Committee.

It is ironic that Republican-controlled Indiana is now considering giving driver’s licenses to illegal aliens at all. In 2021, US Senator Mike Braun (R-Indiana) cosponsored federal legislation that would block funding to states that granted driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.  When the legislation was introduced, Senator Braun said, “illegal immigrants should not be granted driver’s licenses in any state. It’s a threat to national security, complicates the already extremely challenging work of immigration enforcement, and is an affront to those who come to America the right way in accordance with the law.”
Moreover, granting driver’s licenses to illegal aliens frustrates the intent of the REAL ID Act enacted by Congress after 9-11.  The goal of the REAL ID Act was to ensure that those individuals in the country illegally with the intent to do us harm are not provided with the documents to facilitate their mission.  The nineteen 9-11 terrorists had 30 state-issued identification cards and driver’s licenses between them.
If Indiana does pass legislation to give driver’s licenses to illegal aliens and it is signed by Governor Holcomb, it will be the 19th state to enact such legislation and it will have the dubious distinction of being the first Republican-controlled state to do so.

COLBERT COMMENT: Immigrants are here and driving in Evansville. On the next episode of Colbertreport on Rumble, Cheryl and I will discuss this problem, Representative Mark Messer sponsored the driving legislation, resulting in voter registration. Local NGO’s are coordinating the arrival. We are connecting the “dots”!

The General Services Administration has awarded contracts to eight U.S. carriers to provide discounted airfares to to federal travelers during the government’s 2024 fiscal year.
GSA said the selected airlines will offer an estimated 53 percent discount on airfare rates for official government air travel starting Oct. 1 through the agency’s City Pair Program.
Pre-negotiated City Pair fares are projected to generate approximately $2.4 billion in FY24 taxpayer savings related to official travel for federal employees.
The awardees are:
• Alaska Airlines 
• American Airlines
• Delta Air Lines
• Hawaiian Airlines
• JetBlue Airways
• Silver Airways
• Southwest Airlines 
• United Airlines
GSA selected the air carriers based on the availability of their service, total number of flights, average elapsed flight time and service price.
“These negotiated fares save time, money, and effort, while allowing federal workers to help their agencies meet their missions by spending more time on their tasks and less time arranging official travel,” said Sonny
, commissioner of GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service and a previous Wash100 Award winner.

COLBERT COMMENT: Currently analyzing the inbound flights into Evansville through the governmental contracts. New flights between Chicago and Evansville are occurring. The number of immigrants are increasing rapidly. How are they arriving? Plane? Bus? Car?

Cheryl and Ken discuss NGO’s involvement in the immigration process in Evansville, Indiana; that elusive public/private partnership.

They discuss the Haitian Center in Evansville supported by the United Way of Southwest Indiana, the issuance of drivers license to illegal immigrants and identify the Indiana legislators creating opportunity to obtain Indiana IDs.

Those Indiana laws create policy of the DMV to automatically register potential voters that meet the criteria.

The VANDERBURGH Community Foundation, WARRICK Community Foundation and the CenterPoint Foundation are sponsoring immigration initiatives in Evansville.

HAITIAN HOUSING

Found one of the elusive extended stay hotels in Evansville with immigrants. There are two locations.

Indiana law says “landlords” are exempt from any liability for housing illegal aliens; no really look it up! Have you been to Washington, Indiana lately? They are overflowing with “immigrants”.

Here’s an exterior photo of the site in Evansville. The columns are illuminated in 🇭🇹 Haitian colors. Let’s play a game. See if you can find it. Clue 1) Eastside 2) Same name as a church. 3) Close to a strip club and tattoo parlor. 4) Crime statistics are increasing in this area. Go!

⚠️ WARNING ⛔️

Colorado-Israel Chamber Of Commerce Boosts Economic Ties For Mutual Growth‌ ‌

In a move to strengthen economic ties between Colorado and Israel, the new non-governmental Colorado-Israel Chamber of Commerce aims to foster business relationships and promote collaboration.

“Colorado and Israel are basically natural friends. It’s actually a shame that something hasn’t really gotten going until now,” explains Jordan Kastrinsky, cofounder of the chamber.

While many US chambers of commerce have government backing, the Colorado-Israel chamber is a grassroots effort led by Kastrinsky and cofounder Jeremiah Baronberg.

“We don’t get any funding from the state,” Kastrinsky clarifies. “Maybe that will change at some point. But as of right now, we don’t.”

Instead, the chamber has garnered support from various stakeholders.
“We have partners at the state level in Colorado, at the municipality level, and also in the private sector who are interested in seeing something like this develop and want to be a part of it,” Kastrinsky says.

These partners include state-level organizations like the Denver Economic Development Council and the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. The Colorado Bioscience Association has joined as a private-sector member, signaling the potential for collaboration in the medical and biotechnology fields.
Kastrinsky explained that while in some cases, these partnerships are supported by a shared Zionist interest, they are largely being forged due to the mutual desire to foster strong business connections.
According to the chamber, Israel is ranked the third most innovative country by the World Intellectual Property Organization. It is home to over 6,000 startups, the highest per capita in the world. Boulder is recognized as the second-best US city for startups and entrepreneurs and is a leading state for talent in the bioscience, energy, and water sectors. 

The chamber’s inception stems from a recognition of shared interests and complementary strengths. 
The chamber represents an opportunity for Israel to expand beyond traditional US market entry points such as San Francisco, New York, Miami, and Boston.
Kastrinsky sees Colorado as an attractive alternative, offering unique advantages such as a shared time zone with Latin American countries and key areas of alignment, including agriculture, aerospace and defense, bioscience and medical technologies, and, notably, water technology.
“Colorado is thirsty, if you would, for water technologies,” Kastrinsky notes, explaining that both regions face water scarcity issues.
Colorado’s complex water laws and drought conditions create a demand for innovative solutions. Israel, a global leader in water technologies, is well-positioned to offer expertise in this area. 

In its inaugural year, it has already cosponsored a delegation of Israeli water companies to Colorado.
Looking ahead, the chamber is planning a panel discussion at the upcoming Denver Startup Week, September 18-22. 
Kastrinsky is also working on setting up webinars with the BIRD Foundation (Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development) and the Colorado Bioscience Association and organizing another delegation for the following year.

The chamber even explores initiatives beyond the business sector, including establishing connections between Israeli and Coloradoan colleges and universities.

As Colorado and Israel seek to expand their global economic footprint, this new chamber of commerce holds promise for mutually beneficial collaborations in the coming years.

“We’re trying to centralize things and be the group that says, ‘Hey, you want to figure out how to come to America? Why don’t you try Colorado?” says Kastrinsky. “Let us help you do it the right way: figure out who you need to meet with, get the right stakeholders, know the regulations, know the area, know the grants that you can get, and know the investment landscape. Let’s help you out.’”
