Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill is a disgrace. If Mitch McConnell was smart, which we’ve seen no evidence of, he would use the debt ceiling card to negotiate a good infrastructure package. 
 
This is a 2,700 page bill that no one could have possibly read—they would have needed to take speed reading courses. It is a gift to the Democrat Party, compliments of Mitch McConnell and some RINOs, who have no idea what they are doing. There is very little on infrastructure in all of those pages. Instead, they track your driving so they can tax you. It is Joe Biden’s form of a gas tax but far bigger, far higher and, mark my words, far worse. They want to track you everywhere you go and watch everything you do!
 
Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill will be used against the Republican Party in the upcoming elections in 2022 and 2024. It will be very hard for me to endorse anyone foolish enough to vote in favor of this deal. 
 
The good news is that the progressive wing in the Democrat Party will lose all credibility with this approval. Additionally, Kevin McCarthy and Republican House members seem to be against the bill. If it can’t be killed in the Senate, maybe it dies in the House!
 
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats understand that this is the way to get the horrendous $3.5 trillion, actually $5 trillion, Green New Deal bill done in the House. Mitch is playing right into Nancy’s hands, not to mention the fact Chuck Schumer is already going around saying this is a big victory for the Democrats. Whether it’s the House or the Senate, think twice before you approve this terrible deal. Republicans should wait until after the Midterms when they will gain all the strength they’ll need to make a good deal, but remember, you already have the card, it’s called the debt ceiling, which the Democrats threatened us with constantly.

😡 Social media users have harshly criticised US climate envoy John Kerry after the Daily Mail reported that the official used his private jet to attend the birthday party of former President Barack Obama.

Kerry was among a plethora of guests that included director Steven Spielberg, actor George Clooney, talk show host Oprah Winfrey, and other celebrities that attended Obama's 60th birthday bash, which was held on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.

Republican Senator Bill Hagerty has refused to sign off on the passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill, calling for a full-blown and "robust" debate on it.

Senators earlier voted 67-27 to limit debate on the legislation. Hagerty currently remains the lone Republican declining to speed up the voting process.

📹 Chicago police gathered to honour their comrade who was killed in a shooting, as an ambulance carried her body past lines of saluting officers.

The fatal incident occurred in the West Englewood neighbourhood. The officers confronted three suspects and managed to shoot one of them.

One suspect was hospitalised, another was later arrested, and the third (a female) remains at large.

RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has suggested in an interview that former President Trump continues to lead the GOP even now after his electoral defeat.

Do you agree?

It’s getting harder and harder to find anything in America that hasn’t been dubbed racist at some point.

The University of Wisconsin has removed a 70-ton “racist” rock from its campus after a minority student organisation complained that back in 1920, a word used for describing big and dark rocks contained the N-word.

🐻 It looks like our furry California burglar of cars has a brother in Colorado, otherwise it's tough to explain this dangerous addiction to car-opening.

Officials in Colorado reminded citizens on Twitter to lock their cars and homes after a bear apparently walked door-to-door and opened multiple car doors in one night

🌊 Tony Luu from Omaha did not know how to pass the time during a downpour which had resulted in flooding on Saturday, and decided to check if there was any flooding by taking the elevator to the ground floor. However, he and others in the elevator didn't take safety precautions into account and ended up in a water trap.

In the video footage, you can see how water seeps into the elevator from all sides and soon the unfortunate passengers are already up to their throats in it.

😒 Someone give them Health and Life Safety lessons

This is not an infrastructure bill, this is the beginning of the Green New Deal. The bill I proposed, which Mitch McConnell couldn’t do anything with, was pure infrastructure. I want what is best for America, not what’s best for the Communist Democrat Party. This will be a big victory for the Democrats and will be used against Republicans in the upcoming elections. Schumer is using the threat of “we can do it the hard way or do it the easy way” and keeping people in town. McConnell never did that on a real infrastructure bill. Hopefully the House will be much stronger than the Senate.

Congratulations to Senator Bill Hagerty in remaining true to “AMERICA FIRST!”
