US Government Gets a Raise by Executive Order

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.

Franklin Taxes

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 on Illegal Alien Impact, “Our local economies not designed for this type of Crisis”

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.

House Minority Leader Says Democrats Will Never “Yield” Power


Posted December 26, 2023 | Sundance | 361 Comments

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:

[Source]

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.

Sunday Talks – DAG Lisa Monaco Says the Quiet Part Out Loud – Within How Her DOJ is Operating, All Outsiders Must be Kept Outside


Posted originally on the CTH on December 24, 2023 | Sundance

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.

Report: RNC Corporation Has Lowest On Hand Bank Funds Since 2016


Posted originally on the CTH on December 23, 2023 | Sundance

As the story is told, the “republicans” have the lowest amount of reserve cash on hand in the past seven years. However, as readers here are well aware, it’s not the republicans that are “running out of money,” it is the RNC Corporation that is running low on funds. These are two distinctly different things.

In the era of the great political awakening, the term “uniparty” has now become a well-known in conservative lexicon to describe our national political situation. The RNC and DNC are two private corporations that form each wing of the Uniparty vulture.

The RNC and DNC are private entities, private corporations, that manage the illusion of the two-party political system in the United States. The reality is that both corporations are funded by the same multinational donors.

The RNC and DNC are essentially private clubs, business entities that exist within a political system they create and control. In the era of Donald J Trump, this stark reality is now clear to almost every voter.

As a result, the RNC corporation does not receive most of its funding from the American electorate. The people have switched from funding the republican corporation, the RNC, to directly funding the individual republican candidates.

The people who control the RNC keep the illusion in place because they have no option; their entire business model is dependent on retaining a false premise. However, the people have moved on. The RNC is irrelevant to grassroots, small donors. Only the multinationals continue funding the RNC, which makes the candidate funding from the RNC an outcome of who the multinationals, hedge funds, and Wall Street billionaires choose to select.

The MAGA base does not fund the RNC, and in most instances the RNC funded candidates are antithetical to the objectives of the America-First movement. This inherent reality creates two types of Republicans, the RNC/Corporate republicans – beholden to the multinationals and millionaires, and the MAGA republicans who must serve the interests of the MAGA voters.

We are currently in this transitional phase, which is why we see the constant battle between the two distinct groups of republicans in DC.

Candidate President Donald Trump often is in a position of trying to connect the two disparate groups; however, recently there has been a more confrontational approach toward the corporate controlled republican politicians. This dynamic, conflict and inherent battle is what we call “The Big Ugly” and it must be waged in order to stop the historic illusion of choice being gamed by the RNC.

[Newsweek] – The amount of money that the Republican National Committee (RNC) had on hand for spending at the end of November was the lowest bank balance it has had at that point in any year since 2016, disclosures to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show.

In a filing on Wednesday, the GOP governing body revealed it had $9.96 million to spend as of November 30, which is less than half what it had to work with when Donald Trump was contesting his first presidential election.

By comparison, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) reported cash on hand of over $20 million for the same day. Both parties’ committees have seen downward trends in funds they can draw upon since 2021, but the RNC’s balance has been around half that of its counterpart in the past two reporting periods.

[…] Oscar Brock, an RNC member from Tennessee, told the Post: “We’re going through the same efforts we always go through to raise money: the same donor meetings, retreats, digital advertising, direct mail. But the return is much lower this year. If you know the answer, I’d love to know it.” (read more)

Given the nature of corporate political structures, I suspect Kevin McCarthy will eventually replace Ronna McDaniel…

….And so it goes, and so it goes.
