Biden announced $82 million in new investments in North Carolina from the “American Rescue Plan’s (ARP) Capital Projects Fund to connect an additional 16,000 North Carolina homes and businesses to high-speed internet” according to the White House.
As usual, Biden’s speech was full of embarrassing gaffes and lies.
Biden absurdly claimed: “440 new jobs in North Carolina alone just since I came into office!”

At one point a confused Joe Biden looked around for Rep. Deborah Ross.
“Where’s Deborah? I just had my picture taken with her … Oh, she couldn’t be here, actually. That’s not true. I got it mixed up!” he said.

In the run-up to his reelection, Conservative champion Donald Trump is projecting force and leadership at an unprecedented level, and at the World Economic Forum yearly meeting at Davos, Switzerland, just about everyone is worried about him.
While many of the justifications are downright phony, there is indeed the fact that Trump’s upcoming reelection is an extinction-level event to many Globalist insane policies – if not most of them.
Even MSM giants like the New York Times had to mix their cheerleading for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with the real relevant subject at hand.
“Two people are having an outsize impact at the World Economic Forum, and one of them isn’t even there. One is Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, who put on a full-court press of business and global leaders at the forum in Davos, Switzerland. The other is Donald Trump, whose potential re-election is dominating the discussion among attendees.
[…] Zelensky dismissed the idea that Trump could stop the Russian president from going after other parts of Europe. Putin, he added, ‘will not stop — but the question is what will the U.S. and Trump do after this point, because in this case it will mean that Europe lost the most useful and most strong army in Europe because we lost Ukraine’.”
Zelensky dismissed the ‘danger’ of Trump but also appeared fearful about the prospect, saying his victory was the a choice for the American nation and only the American nation.’
“The Ukrainian leader acknowledged that a win for Trump, who has opposed U.S. aid to Ukraine, could affect his country’s military campaign or settlement talks. ‘Radical voices from the Republican Party’ have created tension and pain for the Ukrainian people, he said.”
Multiple attendees fear the outcome of the election.
Zelensky spoke at a private gathering of executives organized by JPMorgan Chase.
In the audience, Steve Schwarzman of Blackstone, Ray Dalio of Bridgewater, David Rubenstein of Carlyle and Michael Dell of Dell.
Global business leaders in snowy Switzerland keep their fingers to the pulse of Washington, D.C., as Donald Trump dominates the talks in the dinners and parties at Davos.
Unlike the terrified Globalist heads of state, U.S. industry leaders are not worried by a second Trump term.
CNBC reported:
“Another U.S. bank CEO privately expressed annoyance with media exaggeration of the threat of a Trump presidency, stressing he’s “all bark and no bite.” The bank chief also dismissed Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election as bloviation.
‘He’s going to win the presidency’, the CEO predicted. ‘Many of his policies were right’.”
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon did not predict a Trump victory, but he made similar comments in an interview Wednesday on CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box.’
“’Just take a step back, and be honest. He was kind of right about NATO. He was kind of right about immigration, he grew the economy quite well. Trade. Tax reform worked. He was right about some of China’, said Dimon. ‘I don’t like how he said things about Mexico, but he wasn’t wrong about some of these critical issues. And that’s why they’re voting for him’.
Still, while Dimon also echoed the sentiment that an apocalypse is unlikely, he did note he hopes ‘the country survives’ with either the reelection of President Joe Biden or the return of Trump to the White House.”
Of course, the detractors are also out in force. A ‘former Trump administration official’ quoted by NYT said, ‘there’s more reason for concern this time around because many of the people that kept Trump’s damaging urges in check won’t be working with him if he returns to office’.
“OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who also spoke with [CNBC], expressed similar sentiments. ‘I think elections are, you know, huge deals. I believe that America is gonna be fine,’ Altman said. ‘No matter what happens in this election’.”

Joe Biden told reporters on Thursday that former President Donald Trump’s Iowa win doesn’t “mean anything.”
Trump won the state’s caucuses on Monday with a landslide victory.
“I don’t think Iowa means anything,” Biden said of Trump’s win.

Biden added that Trump, “only got 50-something thousand votes.”
“The president got 50-some-thousand votes, the lowest number of votes anybody who’s won got. You know, this idea that he’s going to runaway, he can think anyway he wants, let him make that judgement,” Biden said.
Trump won 98 of Iowa’s 99 counties. Haley, who has robust support from Democrats who changed registration to participate in the caucuses, won Johnson County by a single vote.
Biden’s approval currently sits at 33 percent, the lowest point for any president in the last 15 years, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday.
Trump’s lowest approval rating during his presidency was 36 percent.
No president has ever won re-election with their approval rating below 40 percent.
“If you’re a Democrat, this is near a worst case scenario in a presidential election year. Here you have an incumbent president that’s polling in the 20s as far as approval among Independents. He is hemorrhaging support from Black and Hispanic voters. No president has won re-election with approval below 40%, Biden is currently at 33% overall,” Fox News contributor Joe Concha said.
“Meanwhile, Donald Trump just won Iowa by more than four touchdowns over a popular governor and formidable challenger in the form of Ron DeSantis. According to the RealClearPolitics betting averages, he is the odds on favorite to win back the presidency.”
Concha added, “And unless prices begin to go down, which they likely won’t, and the border somehow improves, which it won’t, and these wars overseas suddenly end, which they won’t, it’s hard to see how Biden turns us around as he continues to get older and less visible to American voters.”

The Colorado Marxists who refused to allow Republicans to place Donald Trump on the state’s ballot.
177 members of Congress joined Ted Cruz and Steve Scalise in an Amicus Curiae Brief to the US Supreme Court in support of President Donald Trump in the Colorado case to remove Trump from the ballot.
Last month, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision to keep President Trump off the 2024 Primary ballot in the state. The Colorado high court has been the only court to rule this way out of several decided or dismissed in other states.
A week later, the Maine Secretary of State ruled that President Trump was ineligible from her state’s ballot but conceded that the US Supreme Court will likely have to interpret the 14th Amendment and its application.
The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear oral arguments in the case regarding the implementation of the 14th Amendment in this situation. The hearing is set for February 8th.
BREAKING: SCOTUS has granted cert in the case of Colorado attempting to remove Pres. Trump from the ballot.
They can now deliver finality on the 14th Amendment for every state to follow.
— Daniel Baldwin (@baldwin_daniel_) January 5, 2024
In a petition for Writ of Certiorari, Trump’s legal team argued the implications of leaving the interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the States, stating:
Vice President Harris, President Biden, and their staffs advocated for, marched with, and provided material support to rioters in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020. These rioters stormed the White House, injuring police officers and forcing the President, his family, and his staff to shelter in a bunker. They also killed people, took over government buildings, caused extensive property damage, and sought to establish alternative “governments” in the form of so-called “autonomous zones.” If a state official believes that President Biden or Vice President Harris aided these efforts, he may eliminate President Biden and Vice President Harris from the ballot. And all their past actions can be nullified as “ultra vires.”
The petition went on to cite Congresswoman Maxine Waters saying “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and create a crowd and you push back on them.” It then mentions that then-House Whip Steve Scalise was in-fact confronted at a Congressional softball game and shot by the attacker.
Here is a list of the amici, via ALX.

In a fervent speech delivered to a crowded rally in Portsmouth, former President Donald J. Trump took a definitive stance against the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the country.
Trump expressed his commitment to block any government efforts to create such a currency, highlighting his concerns about privacy and governmental overreach.
“Tonight, I am also making another promise to protect Americans from government tyranny,” Trump declared, addressing a sea of supporters.
“As your president, I will never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency.”
Trump’s comments come amidst growing discussions among global financial institutions and governments about the potential implementation of CBDCs.
“Such a currency would give a federal government, our federal government, the absolute control over your money,” Trump said.
“They could take your money. You wouldn’t even know it was gone. This would be a dangerous threat to freedom.”

Critics of CBDCs often cite the potential for increased surveillance and the erosion of financial autonomy as significant drawbacks. Trump’s commitment to blocking the development of a CBDC underscores these concerns and positions him at the forefront of the debate on digital currency and personal liberty.
In 2022, as inflation skyrocketed and markets collapsed, Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced that the Federal Reserve was exploring the possibility of a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency.
“Rapid changes are taking place in the global monetary system that may affect the international role of the dollar,” Powell said.
In the same year, a group of world elites met this week to discuss the implementation of digital currencies run by central banks that will allow the world elites to control your behavior. Using this technology, these elites, who believe they are so much more important and clever than you are, will decide what you can eat, say, and do.
Activist Post reported, “Unlike cryptocurrencies, which are private, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will be issued and controlled by the central banks themselves. In many ways, it’s the same as banknotes, but it’s likely that every single transaction will be monitored for compliance…”
“…As a result of this potential programmability, government agencies can precisely target their support packages to the right people. CBDCs can’t solve every financial inclusion challenge, but they can work together with financial literacy and digital literacy. CBDC will have to work with other policies like digital identities and wallets.”
In 2023, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced its plans to develop a global Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) platform.
“If we are to be successful, CBDCs could not be fragmented national propositions,” said IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva
“To have transactions more efficient and fairer, we need systems that connect countries. In other words, we need interoperability. For this reason, at the IMF we are working hard on the concept of a global CBDC platform to trade and to manage risks,” she added.
Last year, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06) reintroduced his flagship legislation, the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Anti-Surveillance State Act, signaling a strong countermove against the Biden regime’s overreach into Americans’ financial privacy.
Emmer has rallied a significant bloc of 50 original Republican co-sponsors, underscoring the concern among conservatives about the implications of a government-issued digital currency.
At the core of this legislation is the principle that a Central Bank Digital Currency, unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, would give the federal government unprecedented powers to monitor and control individual financial transactions.
“The administration has made it clear: President Biden is willing to compromise the American people’s right to financial privacy for a surveillance-style CBDC. That’s why I’m reintroducing my landmark legislation to put a check on unelected bureaucrats and ensure the United States’ digital currency policy upholds our values of privacy, individual sovereignty, and free-market competitiveness,” Whip Emmer said in a statement.
“If not designed to be open, permissionless, and private – emulating cash – a government-issued CBDC is nothing more than a CCP-style surveillance tool that would be used to undermine the American way of life,” Emmer added.
The CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act aims to:
Prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC directly to individuals, ensuring the Fed cannot mobilize itself into a retail bank able to collect personal financial data on Americans.
Prohibit the Fed from indirectly issuing a CBDC to individuals through an intermediary, preventing the Fed from launching a retail CBDC through our two-tier financial system.
Prohibit the Fed from using any CBDC to implement monetary policy, ensuring the Federal Reserve cannot use a CBDC as a tool to control the American economy. The legislation protects innovation and any future development of digital cash.
