US Population Rapidly Growing

Posted originally on Jan 21, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

The population of the United States grew by 1% to 340.1 million in 2024, according to the US Census Bureau, marking the largest population increase since 2000. The nation has added nearly 58 million over that 24-year period, but there certainly has not been a baby boom.

The birthrate in America has been declining for decades. As of November 2024, 3.31 million newborns were born on US soil. The overall birthrate declined 0.12% from 2023 to 12 births per 1000 people. There were around 3.05 million deaths in the US last year, with the average life expectancy reaching 75.8 years for men and 81.1 years for women. It is true that the population would have remained relatively stagnant if not for new immigrants. People are living longer, but there has not been a notable increase in recent years.

However, the population rise is due to ILLEGAL migration. About 1.2 million people legally immigrated to America in 2024. Around 756,000 immigrants were granted family-sponsored green cards, 197,000 received employment visas, and 67,000 received diversity visas.

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported 3 million inadmissible encounters last year, marking a 50% increase from 2021 at the beginning of Joe Biden’s term. Around 1.45 million encounters occurred at an entry point in 2024. Estimates state there were 2 million “known gotaways” who snuck into the US illegally but the true figure cannot be calculated. No one can calculate exactly how many people entered the nation under Biden’s open border catastrophe but there have been around 11 million encounters at the border if that is of any indication.

The large Baby Boomer generation is aging, and fertility rates are declining. The United States has always been a melting pot of migrants from throughout the world. However, the dynamic has shifted in recent years as there are far more illegal, unvetted migrants arriving in the US who cannot legally work and are draining our economic resources while expanding the welfare state. The composition of the United States will be far different from what it is today if this trend continues.

Are Executive Orders Constitutional?

Posted originally on Jan 20, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: You have been critical of an executive order by Biden. What will you say when Trump unleashes his flurry of executive dictated?

ANSWER: The purposes of an executive order should be confined to running the government like any company CEO. Trump should withdraw the security clearance of all 51 people who falsely claimed the Hunter laptop was Russian propaganda. I believe that they are traitors to the country. I would fire each and everyone and strip them of all pensions. That would be a valid executive order, as would firing executive bureaucrats. The president is the CEO of the Executive Branch. He needs Congress’s approval to install judges in the Judicial Branch. When orders are confined to personnel inside the Executive Branch, that is within his Constitutional Power.

What I disagree with are executive orders that circumvent Congress. Biden outlawed gas water heaters. That is a question for Congress – not an executive decision any more than sending in troops or allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles to target inside Russia. The Constitution gave Congress the power to declare war, not the president.

I will look at what Trump does, and my analysis will be eliminated on those lines. I disagree with FDR’s executive orders to confiscate gold and silver. I think Congress should have decided that.

The major case issued by the Supreme Court striking down a president’s executive order came about in 1952. In Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, the court held struck down Executive Order 10340, issued by President Harry Truman, for seizing control of the steel manufacturers because of an anticipated union strike in the nation’s steel mills during the Korean War. The court held that President Truman lacked the constitutional or statutory power to seize private property.

The court focused on the fact that the Executive Order was not authorized by the Constitution or laws of the United States, and thus, it could not sand Pp. 343 U. S. 585-589. Moreover, no statute expressly or impliedly authorized the President to take possession of this property as he did here.

Using this criterion, Biden’s outlawing gas water heaters is arbitrary and absurd. It was unconstitutional, as many of his antics demonstrated that he assumed dictatorial power. Still, the Constitution never authorized such an exercise of power outside the administration of the Executive Branch. He has the Constitutional power to issue a pardon, but not pronounce someone guilty and imprison them without a trial in the Judiciary branch.

Biden Pardons Fauci, Milley, and Whole Jan 6th Committee

Posted originally on Jan 20, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

To get a pardon, you are supposed to plead guilty and show remorse. I am not sure a preemptive pardon is even legal. Now, what I would do is subpoena these people to testify. They cannot be prosecuted now, so they have NO FIFTH AMENDMENT privilege against self-incrimination. I would then ask them to explain their crime and name everyone else who assisted them who is not pardoned. Let’s expose the whole shit. To accept these pardons CONFIRMS that they are guilty of high crimes against the United States. They may not be sent to prison, but they can now be interrogated like any criminal getting a plea deal.

QUESTION: Mr. Fauci, did you circumvent US law and send your gain-of-function to China to be released? Were you behind creating COVID-19? Do masks and lockdowns work?

QUESTION: General Milley, So you deliberately created the false accusations that Russia interfered in the US election, were you trying to create World War III with Russia?

Oh, the party can now begin.

How about the Small Business Association brings a class action lawsuit against Fauci for all the businesses he destroyed with his lockdowns? He has to testify now, and there better not be any lies in his testimony. Explain any conspiracy he was in with Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Health Organization, and Klaus Schwab. We can now get to the truth at last!!!!!!

They can be Prosecuted for Perjury post-these pardons.

Biden just opened the door really wide. Otherwise, you would have had to prove Fauci was guilty; now he is Pardoned, so he is guilty of a crime to accept a pardon. Fantastic!!!! Thank you, Biden, for your final act of corruption. It may help to bring down the corruption more than anything else. Most billionaires are Democrats to pretend they care, but only the honest billionaires who support Trump based on common sense rather than WOKE are oligarchs. Ask Fauci if he was collaborating with George Soros or his son Alex?

The Biden Administration will go down in History as the MOST corrupt in American History!

Crime Family – Joe Biden Pardons His Brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses.

Posted originally on the CTH on January 20, 2025 | Sundance

Literally minutes before he leaves office, Joe Biden just issued blanket pardons for his closest family. Having previously pardoned Hunter Biden, the departing executive just pardoned his brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses.

The Biden family crime syndicate, those who engaged in the benefit of Joe Biden selling the influence of his office for financial gain, are attempting to preemptively pardon themselves from any investigation or prosecution of their criminal conduct.

White House – […] That is why I am exercising my power under the Constitution to pardon James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.

Recent legal debate has surrounded the issue of a prosecutor who may bring an indictment against a person after they have been issued a pardon. The state may present evidence of the crime. The defendant may (or may elect not to) present exculpatory evidence or a defense and also plead the pardon.

The court might (or might not) proceed to render a verdict or judgment. If convicted, the defendant may (or may not) invoke the pardon, which prevents any criminal sentence from being issued. (i.e., the defendant may prefer obtaining a verdict of “not guilty” to a pardon.)

The defendant may be called as a witness (in another forum; and interestingly but unclear, in the subject prosecution). Following a pardon, the defendant likely cannot invoke the 5th Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, which is significant.

In the initial criminal court, it’s likely the defendant may be called as a witness, and then invoke the 5th Amendment at such trial, because the pardon has not been activated post-indictment. But this is an issue that would be contested; a lot of tactical decisions involved. I suspect that the evidence introduced at such trial (once re-authenticated) may be used in a civil trial and/or an impeachment of the defendant (despite the criminal pardon).
