The Wall Street Journal had the Friday Nightmare for liberals. President Donald John Trump's signature may appear on those $1,200 quarantine checks.
Well, it is his signature legislation this year.
The Sun reported, "According to an administration official, Trump told some White House aides he wants his signature to appear on the direct payment checks going out to individual citizens, the Wall Street Journal reports.We are marshalling the full power of government and society to achieve victory over the virus. Together, we will endure, we will prevail, and we will WIN! #CARESAct pic.twitter.com/zb2PJTldGQ— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 27, 2020
"Federal checks are normally signed by a civil servant disbursing officer for the payment center, according to Don Hammond, a former senior Treasury Department official."
The story has an air of unauthenticity about it. Direct deposits are a 1980s innovation that caught up with the feds a decade ago.
Also, this is based on what some unnamed person said he heard from someone that the president wants his signature on the checks.
Breitbart News had a story based on people with actual names attached to their claims, "Coronavirus: Illegal Aliens Demand $1.2K Each in Taxpayer-Funded Checks."
The story said, "Open borders organizations like the George Soros-funded United We Dream, the National Immigrant Justice Center, and the National Immigration Law Center — all of which represent the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States — are pleading with the federal government to cut federal checks to illegal aliens who have Individual Tax Identification Numbers.
"Currently, Trump’s corona virus relief package includes $1,200 federal checks for American citizens with Social Security Numbers or those considered resident aliens, like permanent lawful residents in the U.S. on green cards.
"Illegal aliens, therefore, are excluded from receiving the federal checks, a provision that has outraged the open borders lobby."
Maybe we should send them checks, and then arrest and deport them when they cash them.
President Donald John Trump would be only too happy to sign those checks.
Why are we *still* not taxing ("imposing a fee" on) remittances sent back to Mexico, India, and all other overseas addresses?
ReplyDeleteWe are. Except for a very few jobs (eg constuction workers paid in cash) their checks will see the same deductions as everyone else.
DeleteFine, I’ll be the first to say it. Maybe we can even start a right wing uprising over it. IF the NSA’s surveillance powers are as good as they’re supposed to be, then somebody, somewhere has a recording of George Soros and a high-ranking Chinese official discussing the steps involved in Operation Wuhan Lung Rot. The Black Jesus appears on the tape once or twice, even. He is a dutiful puppet and Georgie needed him for legitimacy. The recording exists. It’s just a matter of releasing it.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, the NSA does seem to be more focused on spying inside the United States...
DeleteHe's the hero in all this and people won't forget.
ReplyDeleteBesides, they do not have to cash the checks if they are really offended by the signature.
DeleteNY Post: “A Manhattan judge on Thursday ordered the release of a[n illegal alien] career criminal charged with stabbing his girlfriend to death out of concern he could contract coronavirus at Rikers, the Post has learned.
ReplyDeleteState Supreme Court Justice Mark Dwyer freed Pedro Vinent-Barcia, 63, and 15 other inmates after the Legal Aid Society filed a petition arguing that their detention exposed them to serious medical harm …
After cops nabbed him, he allegedly asked, “Is she dead? I hope so.”
The prosecutor told Dwyer that Vinent-Barcia was arrested in Florida for stabbing another girlfriend in 1993 and biting off a piece of her ear.”
