Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Due to the fact that President Biden is achieving high approval ratings without any Republican support, Republican's cannot attack what the majority of US citizens obviously approve of.

This leaves two lines of attack

1. Immigration
2. Debt

I don't know what polls you are reading but that's not what I'm seeing.

The White House on Tuesday formally declared its support for a House bill that would grant statehood to Washington, D.C., saying it would provide the residents of the District with "long overdue full representation in Congress."

"Establishing the State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth as the 51st state will make our Union stronger and more just," the Office of Management and Budget said in a statement of administration policy. "Washington, D.C. has a robust economy, a rich culture, and a diverse population of Americans from all walks of life who are entitled to full and equal participation in our democracy."

The statement further called for Congress "to provide for a swift and orderly transition to statehood for the people of Washington, D.C."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki previously said President Biden is in favor of giving statehood to D.C. The District is home to roughly 700,000 full-time residents, which is more than Wyoming or Vermont.

Biden Admin Accused of 'Disrespecting the United States' for Reportedly Planning to Sell Piece of 9/11 History to Indonesia

A Coast Guard cutter that was a lifeline for New Yorkers as clouds of ash and death shrouded Lower Manhattan in fear and panic of 9/11 is set to be sold off by the Biden administration, according to the New York Post.
The cutter Adak will be sold to Indonesia, the Post reported on Tuesday.
“When hundreds of thousands of people needed to be evacuated from Lower Manhattan on Sept. 11, 2001, the US Coast Guard cutter Adak was ready in New York Harbor, in charge of what would become the largest maritime rescue in world history,” the report said.

Advocates who have tried to keep this piece of America’s darkest day to serve as a museum of the heroism that was a light in the darkness of that day are irate about the move.
“You’re not only disrespecting New Yorkers and those that were affected directly by the terrorist attacks, you’re disrespecting the United States,” John Feal of the FealGood Foundation, an organization that supports 9/11 survivors, told the Post.

“Shame on them, shame on them for being so callous and showing a lack of humanity and showing a lack of empathy,” he said.
The USCGC Adak Historical Society has been begging the Coast Guard to give it the cutter so that it could be docked in Tampa, Florida, as a museum, memorial and education center for disadvantaged youth, the report said.

“This cutter doesn’t have to go to Indonesia, there’s plenty of other 110-foot cutters that could go to Indonesia,” said society founder James Judge, who served aboard the Adak for 13 months during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Judge said Indonesia is a place no relic of 9/11 should ever go.
“I also think it’s remarkable the Coast Guard is considering giving it to Indonesia given the fact Indonesia is plagued by radical Islam, they have a history of human rights abuses and they are notoriously known as the world’s second-largest marine environment polluter,” he said. “The Coast Guard is charged with marine environment protection.”

But the bureaucratic process so far has been immune to those who want the cutter kept in the United States. The Coast Guard has moved forward with plans to sell the cutter to Indonesia through the Foreign Assistance Act, the Post reported, and on April 2, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency formally notified Congress of the deal.
“They’re going with the FAA because it’s the path of least resistance … it’s very convenient to them. That’s the bottom line, this is about money and convenience,” Judge said.

He said the Coast Guard rejected every effort to keep the cutter in America.
“We tried to eliminate every single barrier to the military, in fact the military and the Coast Guard will have to demilitarize the boat in order to sell it to Indonesia, there’ll be a cost associated with that. They wouldn’t even have to strip it if we were to get it,” Judge said.

Although the group had been trying to work the congressional angle to have legislation passed that would give the cutter to the group, that’s not likely now that the official process to sell the vessel is approaching its early May deadline.
To Judge, the Adak is not just another cutter, but “a symbol of American strength and perseverance.”
“The Coast Guard cutter Adak is a historic ship and worthy of coming home,” he said.
The group has a Change.org petition trying to block the sale.

When asked about the sale, the Coast Guard replied with a statement to the Post.
“The forthcoming transfer is the culmination of a year-long planning process, and is scheduled to occur after the cutter’s decommissioning in June 2021,” it said.

“The Coast Guard worked closely with the Departments of State, the Department of Defense, and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, using procedures established by the Navy’s International Program Office, throughout the rigorous selection and decision process to prepare for the transfer of Coast Guard Cutters ADAK and AQUIDNECK to the Government of Indonesia,” the Coast Guard said.
“This process directly supports international partners and allies to achieve U.S. national security interests. Working closely with the Indonesian Navy, inspections and preparations for the transfer began in earnest in February 2021,” it said.

It will be overturned on appeal. MadMax saw to that. The jurists probably feared for their own and their families lives if they rendered anything else.
