“I promise you this: I will be the president of all Americans. And I promise you that I will fight for those who do not support me to the same degree as those who do support me.” At the Jan. 20 presidential inauguration, Biden repeatedly emphasized “unity” and said, “My whole soul is in this: to bring America together. Unite our people. Unite our country.”
Yet his actions on his first day in office raised questions about the inconsistency of his words and actions.
Firing two top independent agency officials in a matter of hours
The Wall Street Journal editorial board member and columnist Kimberley Strassel, who is a member of the Wall Street Journal, said that he has been working on the issue for years. Kimberley A. Strassel, an editorial board member and columnist for the Wall Street Journal, wrote that the “unity” lasted for a short Time. A few hours after President Biden said “tolerance and humility” in his inaugural address, he showed his steel teeth.
One of those hastily dismissed by Biden was Peter Robb, general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Peter Robb. Within a short time after Biden was sworn in, the new White House gave Robb an ultimatum: resign at 5 p.m. or be fired. The National Labor Relations Board is an independent U.S. government agency. The position of general counsel is confirmed by the Senate for a four-year term. Robb’s term does not expire for another 10 months. Robb refused to resign and was therefore fired that night.
Although U.S. law does not prohibit the president from firing the commission’s general counsel, the commission’s general counsel has never been fired by the president since the commission created the general counsel position in 1947. He is currently considering a legal recourse.
Strassel said that for the past four years, the media and Democrats have treated every action by the Trump administration as if it violated the law or was facing a constitutional crisis. By contrast, this week’s headlines are a celebration of a return to “normalcy” in the mainstream media. Biden would restore norms to Washington. Trump did not fire Obama’s National Labor Relations Board general counsel, Richard Griffin. Richard Griffin, who remains in office for nine months until the end of his term in 2017. While there are so many claims that Biden is the embodiment of “gentlemanly” politics, Democrats have no intention of following the rules.
Strassel said the fact that Biden was so quick to fire the general counsel on his first day as president reflects the importance of Biden’s labor policies to him.
The committee has five members. Of those five seats, three are currently Republican, one Democrat, and one position is vacant. That is, even if Biden nominates a Democrat to fill the vacant commissioner seat, the Republicans still have a majority before a Republican commissioner’s term expires this August. Strassel believes that’s why Biden is eager to fire Trump appointee Rob in order to use the Democratic general counsel to push his labor policies or curb the commission’s labor policies.
Strassel said Biden is under intense pressure from the progressive left, including many service unions, to take aggressive action on climate policy. The board of directors of the 2 million-member Service Employees International Union has approved the Green New Deal, in part because many of its members live in areas affected by wildfires, hurricanes and other climate-related disasters. And other unions represent another group of workers concerned about how climate policies will affect their jobs. For example, people in the fossil fuel industry often worry about the transition to clean energy.
When Biden canceled the permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline connecting the U.S. and Canada on his first day in office, he was strongly condemned by blue-collar unions. Mark McManus, the president of the United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters, said the company’s plans for the pipeline would be a good one. Mark McManus criticized Biden for listening to “fringe activists rather than union members.
Strassel argued that Biden wanted to use the National Labor Relations Board to grant broad benefits to unions in order to ease disagreements among them. The firing of counsel Robb may be just the first use of raw raw power. Something similar could happen repeatedly.
Mr. Biden will likely continue to say a lot of pretty things over the next few months, she said. But it’s more important to see how he behaves.
The Wall Street Journal editorial board also cited another example: At 12:21 p.m. on Jan. 20, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Kathleen Biden said she would not be able to get the word out. Kathy Kraninger received an e-mail from the White House: “If you do not resign by 2 p.m. today, President Biden will remove you from office.” Kraninger chose to resign herself.
Noted conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh (D-N.Y.) said he would not resign. Rush Limbaugh said Biden could not call voters who voted for Trump “domestic terrorists” while saying he wanted unity. He said Biden should call off the second wave of Democratic efforts to impeach Trump. He said that President Ford stopped the impeachment of Nixon. Although many people opposed him to do so, he said, only then the country can heal (heal).
Hours after President Biden’s inauguration, far-left demonstrators rioted in several Western U.S. cities, burning flags, smashing windows and marking buildings with Antifa symbols and anti-Biden signs, according to Fox TV and The Washington Times. In Portland, Oregon, they vandalized the Democratic Party headquarters. The graffiti on the walls was violent with foul language calling Biden names and even the words “skin Biden.
Biden Administration‘s First White House Press Conference
The Biden administration held its first press conference at 7 p.m. DC time on Jan. 20. White House Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki, a member of the White House press corps, said that the Biden administration’s first press conference was at 7 p.m. Washington, DC time. The White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, announced her intention to bring “truth and transparency” back to the White House.
A reporter asked, President Biden mentioned unity, and now in this case the impeachment of former President Trump, whether Biden support? Sachs said Biden trusts that the Senate will fulfill its constitutional responsibilities and can do different things at the same time (multi-task). Biden would leave the impeachment of Trump entirely to Congress. On Friday, the mainstream media reported that Speaker Pelosi will bring the proposal to impeach Trump to the Senate on Jan. 25. And the Senate will take up the impeachment in early February after confirming Biden’s nominees to the Cabinet. According to CNN, if the impeachment is successful, Congress could further bar Trump from holding any U.S. federal office, meaning he could not run for president again.
Biden told reporters earlier that “Trump wrote a very generous (very generous) letter. Because it’s a private letter, I won’t talk about it until I talk to him, but it’s a very generous letter.” A reporter asked if Biden would talk to Trump. Sachs responded that was actually a polite way of saying that Biden did not have any plans to speak with Trump on the phone.
In response to a question, Sachs at one point mistakenly referred to Biden as “President Obama” before changing his words to “President Biden. The Fox TV host said it felt like back in 2016 when Obama hadn’t left office, Biden signed 15 presidential executive orders on his first day, indicating that his team followed Obama’s team, so the wording and how to do it had been completely clear.
National Guard and All Souls
The U.S. mainstream media is generally reporting 25,000 National Guard troops stationed in DC, plus 13,000 local police officers, for a total of almost 40,000 military and police personnel. And the chief of the National Guard, Daniel Hokanson, is the chief of the National Guard. Daniel Hokanson (Daniel Hokanson) in January 19 to condole with the soldiers, but the number of 65,000 self-destruction.
These soldiers came from all states across the United States. Some were friendly and chatted with many pedestrians, while others were nervous and didn’t want to talk much about anything. One National Guard soldier from Ohio laughed at himself for feeling like an animal in a zoo as he exchanged pleasantries with the Epoch Times reporter. Because they were standing behind a large DC fence, pedestrians were looking at them curiously. Another soldier, also from Ohio, also said that he could get used to the weather in DC, but his fellow soldiers from the south, such as Florida, felt too cold.
When reporters asked them if they had seen Chief Hokanson, they said no, but some congressmen visited soldiers from their own states. They said the military was taking good care of them, assigning Food and arranging lodging in hotels inside DC and in nearby states. But that all changed the day after the inauguration.
Many mainstream media outlets broke the news that the day after the inauguration, Thursday the 21st, the National Guard was kicked out of the Capitol and Congressman’s office building and crowded into a nearby parking lot. After several days of 12-hour shifts on patrol, troops were ordered to leave the basement of the Senate Office Building in Dirksen on Thursday night and move to a cramped parking lot, according to some soldiers who spoke to Military Times. There are limited restroom facilities and an increased risk of COVID-19. Some soldiers said they were given only 25 minutes to pack up and get ready to leave. Others said, “We were at the Thurgood Marshall Justice Center. They kicked us out of that parking garage and told us to walk the half mile to the Hart Senate Office Building parking garage. That way no one could see us.”
The Politico newspaper reported that some service members said, “We felt betrayed. It’s unbelievable.” The soldiers were allowed to return to Capitol Hill Thursday night because of pressure from lawmakers and the public. National Guard spokesman Matthew Murphy said the soldiers were allowed to return to Capitol Hill. Matthew Murphy (Matthew Murphy) said, “Our troops will go to hotel rooms or other comfortable accommodations at the end of their shifts.”
This time the DC National Mall to Capitol Hill was extensively closed, but 200,000 flags were planted on the National Mall. During the live broadcast of the Epoch Times reporter, it was occasionally mentioned that no one was around only flags waving in the wind, which felt similar to Arlington Cemetery. Many viewers also expressed the same feeling. In the early morning of January 21, some Hong Kong viewers even pointed out that the whole scene looked like a cemetery and advised the Epoch Times reporter to leave as soon as possible.
And YouTube self-publisher Xuan Bachelor Dalu pointed out that they called the flags the All Souls Flags, a formation to drive away the Yin soldiers, which could bring disaster. And the Wall Street Times broke the news Friday that close to 200 National Guard soldiers were diagnosed with the Communist virus after the president’s inauguration.
