Buckle up for some Climate Change: it’s budget season in D.C.
All the factions come out to play in the Budget Olympics! In this double-header post, I’ll cover Biden threatening the entire Republican Party with insurrection for thwarting him from paying his bills, then Big Pharma tries to pretend it’s curing people not poisoning them because of an off-hand comment Biden made.
Biden says he’s exploring 14th amendment to defuse debt ceiling standoff

“FedGov has no more money!” the sooner that’s true, the sooner the healing can begin. Bad time for that expensive, Title 42 invasion by the Turd World, Regime. Please plan your self-owns a little more responsibly. And it wouldn’t hurt to defund your global network of bioweapon laboratories before they accomplish their design purpose of exterminating all taxpaying life on Earth.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he was “considering” the use of the 14th amendment as a means to circumvent the debt ceiling standoff he currently finds himself in with House Republicans.
But he cast some doubt on whether it could work, saying it would “have to be litigated and in the meantime without an extension it’d still end up in the same place.” The president said he would look at the issue of invalidating the debt ceiling through the 14th amendment “months down the road.” The amendment states that the public debt of the United States “shall not be questioned.”
I vaguely recall the 14th is the Imperial Establishment Amendment that did to USA what Julius Caesar did to the Roman Senate. But what’s this about public debts?
Segue

Section 4
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
That “authorized by law’ bit requires Biden to respect the debt ceiling because Congress controls the Fed budget. POTUS has a veto but nothing more. For a time, there was a push to create a “line-item veto” that would allow POTUS to veto portions of a budget or other bill. Astonishingly, it died a well-deserved death for being an unlawful expansion of legislative power to the executive branch.
The only thing Biden could do with the 14th, is declare the Republican Party to be an insurrection. That would let him spend any money he wants to “defeat the threat”. Maybe he’ll just mean Trump, but there’s no reason the Repubs would hesitate to revoke Trump’s membership at that point. I don’t know why they haven’t already. Maybe they’re afraid he’d go third-party.
(He wouldn’t. Trump is Establishment, start to finish & against his own best interests. He’ll never think outside that box.)
More than that, Biden could legally refuse to pay any monies owed to Red States or other Republican-controlled jurisdictions. Anybody opposing Agenda 2030, really.
And the cherry on top: Republicans would have no legal standing to file court challenges with.
Biden also refused to rule out a short-term debt limit increase.
Of course he’s open to a temporary victory that would actually be permanent unless the Repubs figure out how to un-spend money… which they’re actually doing, but that’s the second half of this double-feature.
“I said I would come back and talk,” he said. “The one thing I’m ruling out is default, and I’m not going to pass a budget that has massive cuts.”
That’s two things, and he leaves only one one option. Two options, if you count the Democrats declaring America is now a Communist utopia that refuses to honor the previous government’s debts. Which would torpedo the dollar faster than Janet Yellen admitting on a hot mic that only the Bank of Rothschild will be protected by the FDIC.
“Three of the four participants [were] very measured and low key,” Biden said.
Back at the Capitol, McCarthy laughed off the comment, saying: “If you ever spend time with [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer, you’ll find out who the fourth is.”
True dat.
Biden expressed openness to one key GOP ask: Rescinding tens of billions of dollars in Covid funding.
Was that an earthquake? The ground shook just a moment ago. And my soul… it feels the weight of Sauron’s gaze….
“The answer is, I’d take a hard look at it,” Biden said, adding that the government “didn’t need it all” but needed to determine how much of that pot has been committed to various projects. “It’s on the table.”
It’s not on the table. Biden isn’t going to piss off the terrorist medical-industrial complex armed with engineered bioweapons and a history of deploying them. Unless Big Guy don’t get his 10%, of course.
And he’s not going to piss off the banksters driven mad with Kazarian bloodlust and the loss of their financial lifeboat to Putler.
Who does that leave available for him to piss off? Not his wife. Not counting his diaper. We the People aren’t even in the room.
Bad news, Republicans. You’re beginning to look a lot like… insurrectionists. You have some time before that shoe fits, but let me re-quote Biden’s threat from above:
The president said he would look at the issue of invalidating the debt ceiling through the 14th amendment “months down the road.”
Hey, isn’t next year an election year? Do you think our democracy is fortified enough to survive running out of money?
Meanwhile, in a story of inevitable Progress, !Science!, and why you shouldn’t trust misinformers… the Covid jab has cured cancer!
Finally, a vaccine for one of the deadliest forms of cancer

A new vaccine designed to treat pancreatic cancer prevented the disease from returning in 50% of patients who received it, scientists reported today.
[The New York Times reported that] scientists at the German firm BioNTech developed a vaccine that can be tailored to each patient’s unique genetic makeup, to train their immune system to destroy pancreatic cancer cells.
In a small study published today by Nature, scientists said they tested the vaccine on 16 patients in New York City, and half of the patients were still remaining cancer-free after 18 months — a success for the trial.
Cancer-free! Wow!
Even more encouraging, one patient’s new cancer growth in their liver disappeared in imaging tests after they received the vaccine.
Cancer-Free*! Less wow.
Because the patients were also given chemotherapy and another cancer drug, it’s hard to say how much of an impact the vaccine alone had.
Hey, wait a minute, chemotherapy IS cancer drugs. What’s this “chemotherapy AND ANOTHER cancer drug”? Was the experimental group given TWO treatments that the control group wasn’t, with the resulting success being attributed to only the one treatment?
Like the COVID vaccines, these utilized messenger RNA to instruct a patient’s immune system to destroy the cancer cells.
On the one hand, the mRNA tech’s observed purpose is to train the immune system to attack something it otherwise wouldn’t. Once they make it safe and effective (for real), they can engineer a Death Plague that no immune system can detect, spray the world with it and jab themselves to safety.
That’s the plan behind all these bioweapon labs being staged across the planet. It’s straight outta Tom Clancy’s book Rainbow Six.
On the other hand, the plan isn’t working. They still are faking success stories in order to justify continued funding. That’s why NYT published the story… to defend against THIS:
Is Nikki Haley right that $500 billion in COVID-19 funding could be rescinded? It’s not that simple

Wow, the Republicans ARE learning how to un-spend money! I never thought to see the day. Not that they’ll give it to the taxpayer, of course; it’s money that they printed, not collected; but still, it’s always a pleasant and novel sight to see a Republican trying to NOT lose.
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was touring early primary states when she offered a suggestion for bolstering the U.S. economy.
“We start by clawing back the $500 billion of unspent COVID money,” she said at an April 10 town hall in Salix, Iowa.
Six laws enacted in 2020 and 2021, spanning the administrations of Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, made $4.6 trillion in COVID-19 relief money available to a range of people, businesses and government entities.
BioNtech did a fake study in order to justify not having their bank accounts drained like Biden said he was thinking about. Having the New York Slimes give the announcement instead of themselves gives the announcement plausibility… to the Beltway people, at least.
