President Biden has signed an executive order to implement a 5.2% pay raise for civilian federal workers in 2024, which is the largest pay increase for the federal workforce in over 40 years. This raise includes a 4.7% across-the-board boost to basic pay and an average 0.5% increase in locality pay.
Military service personnel are also expected to receive the same average pay raise, which will not be enough to fix the extremely low recruitment figures. The pay raise will go into effect for the first full pay period of 2024, which for most federal employees begins on January 14. The Office of Personnel Management will publish pay tables outlining the pay raise across all General Schedule pay grades and locality pay areas.
The inflation created by his administration outpaces wages and the cost of living. Now remember that Biden has expanded the government in recent years. Everyone receives a pension, but the funding is simply not there. Government employees have the defined-benefit (DB) while we get the defined contribution (DC) plan. Most state and local government employees, around 87% of those working full-time, participate in a defined benefit (DB) pension plan. They contribute NOTHING but are guaranteed a pension on top of what they earn, plus free healthcare for life.
The vast majority of those in government have not had to save. They will demand a payment when the time comes due. We are to be taxed until we die; upon death, they want what is left.
When the government of ancient Rome could no longer afford to pay the army, the army began sacking Roman cities that opposed their general. They turned inward and cannibalized their own cities, weakening the entire empire, thereby allowing the Barbarians to come through the gates. We have followed the very same mistakes as Rome. This is just how empires always end. We are no different.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is discussing the impact of illegal alien arrivals in his town. “We have reached a critical point in this mission that absent real, significant intervention immediately, our local economies are not designed and built to respond to this type of crisis,” he states.
Mayor Johnson demands the federal government give his sanctuary city federal money from lesser impacted states, as an offset to Chicago expenditures for their illegal alien population. Additionally, Johnson is very angry at Texas Governor Greg Abbott for sending busloads of illegal aliens to Chicago. [Prompted to 05:15, WATCH]
Yeah, well, if you want to understand the ideology of the leftists, communists and facists, look no further than this proclamation from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries:
This is a completely loaded public declaration by the Democrat House Leader.
It goes without saying that mainstream media will ignore the extremism as presented, because that would involve an open admission that everything the Democrats accuse others of doing, including election denial, is exactly what Democrats do.
This statement from Hakeem Jeffries sounds a lot like David Plouffe and the “his kind” statement, because the expressed totalitarian ideology is exactly the same.

Most will not see the forest through the trees. I have shortened this longer interview with Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, to emphasize a point.
Monaco is one of the extreme control operatives from the Obama era who transferred intentionally into the Biden administration to continue control operations. Monaco is literally one of the consequential DC administrators responsible for maintaining a well-honed and weaponized Dept of Justice. That’s all she does; organizing and keeping the Main Justice targeting mechanism focused on their priority is her job.
In this interview segment, transcript provided below, DAG Lisa Monaco outlines the importance of keeping a corrupt system isolated so that only the corrupt officials within it have reign. Of course, that’s not the exact context of her comments, but when combined with the actual reality of the effort – that’s the cornerstone of the non-pretending message. WATCH:
[Transcript] – […] THOMAS: I’m going to ask a couple questions that I hope get to transparency, understanding the limits that you have to operate within. Can you assure the American public that Special Counsels Jack Smith and David Weiss, Robert Hur are operating without regard to anything but the facts and the law?
MONACO: Yes. And the reason I say that, Pierre, is, look, these are matters of the utmost importance and significance. Cases of that level of significance are — it’s exceptionally important that they are handled independently, confidentially and free of any outside or inappropriate influence. And that’s exactly why the attorney general appointed special counsels in the first place.
THOMAS: Just for the record, so the public can hear it from a top official at DOJ, has President Biden ever raised the classified documents investigation, the probe of Hunter Biden with you or the A.G., tried to influence you? Has he ever done that in regard to President Trump?
MONACO: No. And the attorney general’s been exceptionally clear on this point. (more)
Outcomes are determined by controlling inputs.
Want a specific outcome? You must control all the inputs.
In this situation, “free of any outside influence” means retaining the silo of benefit.
She’s saying the quiet part, without people really understanding how the quiet part is constructed right in front of our faces.
