It looks like House Republicans are playing watchdog over our election process, calling out the Biden-Harris team for their hush-hush tactics. Rep. Bryan Steil, who heads the Committee on House Administration, has thrown down the gauntlet, sending subpoenas to five officials who apparently have selective hearing when it comes to congressional demands. How convenient!
Now, let’s get to the good stuff. These subpoenas are all about President Biden’s executive order on Promoting Access to Voting, signed back in March 2021. This order was pretty much a thinly disguised attempt to turn federal agencies into voting cheerleaders, all under the pretense of knocking down voting barriers. House and Senate Republicans saw right through this partisan ploy. Can you imagine the uproar if Trump had tried to pull something like this?
The Subpoena Showdown
In June, Steil demanded that Biden-Harris Cabinet secretaries spill the beans on their plans to implement this executive order, with the November elections looming. Surprise, surprise – they gave him the silent treatment. Now, subpoenas are flying to the Department of Labor, HUD, HHS, DOJ, and the Department of Agriculture. Let’s see how they try to squirm out of this one.
“Transparency and trust are non-negotiable in this process,” Steil emphasized, clearly something the Biden-Harris Administration struggles to grasp – or perhaps chooses to ignore.
The administration’s reluctance to play ball with these subpoenas only fuels suspicions that EO 14019 is less about boosting voter participation and more about padding Democrat numbers.
A Constitutional Reminder
Let’s not forget, the Constitution puts states in charge of election laws, with the feds playing a supporting role. That means the President should keep his nose out of it. It’s high time the Biden-Harris duo took a break from their executive overreach and brushed up on this little detail.
DOJ Shenanigans
Adding to the circus, there’s concern that the DOJ’s election plan might lead to cherry-picking enforcement, especially targeting those troublesome red states. Sure, the Constitution and federal law protect voting rights for U.S. citizens and make non-citizen voting a no-no. But selective enforcement? That’s just business as usual for the Biden-Harris crew.
| Administration | Approach to Transparency | Handling of Federal Agencies |
|---|---|---|
| Trump Administration | Open and clear | Focused on core missions |
| Biden-Harris Administration | Secretive and evasive | Potential misuse for partisan gain |
This whole mess reminds us why the Trump administration was such a breath of fresh air. They passed the $2.3 trillion CARES Act and signed off on an extra $900 billion for coronavirus relief, actually helping American families and businesses. Their federal relief packages were crystal clear, unlike the murky dealings we’re seeing now.
Democratic Priorities: A Comedy of Errors
And what are the Democrats up to while all this is going down? They’re busy giving San Francisco a makeover to impress Xi Jinping! Governor Newsom himself admitted that the city’s cleanup was more about making big shots like Xi feel cozy, not about taking care of the actual citizens. Talk about having your priorities backwards!
So here we are, watching Republicans work overtime to keep things honest and open. It’s crucial that these Biden-Harris officials come clean, shining a light on their schemes and making sure federal agencies stick to what they’re supposed to be doing.
