Days After Trump’s Victory, Biden-Harris Admin Granted Iran $10 Billion in Sanctions Relief, Congressional Notice Shows

The Biden-Harris administration waived sanctions on Iran three days after the November election, providing Tehran access upward of $10 billion in once-frozen funds, according to a copy of the non-public order transmitted to Congress and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken determined on November 8 that “it is in the national security interest of the United States” to waive mandatory economic sanctions that bar Iraq from transferring upward of $10 billion to Iran in electricity import payments.
The Biden-Harris administration has renewed the waiver repeatedly over the objections of congressional Republicans, who warned that the cash helped fuel terrorism and Iran’s war against Israel. In one case, the administration signed off on the sanctions relief one month after Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel.
The most recent iteration of the waiver lifts sanctions for 120 days, at which time the incoming Trump administration will have to decide whether Tehran will continue receiving the relief.
Though the first Trump administration did green-light the same waiver—causing tension with some congressional Republicans—it narrowly tailored the waiver to restrict Iranian access to the cash. The Biden State Department tweaked the waiver last year to allow Tehran to convert the funds from Iraqi dinars to euros, then hold those euros in bank accounts based in Oman. Access to a widely traded currency like the euro enables Iran to more easily spend the cash in international markets. Under the first Trump administration, Iran had to keep the cash in an escrow account in Baghdad, making it more difficult to access.
The State Department confirmed last week that it issued the waiver.
“We remain committed to reducing Iran’s malign influence in the region,” State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters during a briefing. “Our viewpoint is that a stable, sovereign, and secure Iraq is critical to these efforts.”

‘This is DISGUSTING’: Biden gives $1B to Africa as NC residents sleep in tents
After issuing a blanket pardon to his son Hunter Biden, proving that there are indeed two standards of justice in America, President Biden absconded to Africa to avoid the fallout of going back on his word that he would not intervene in his son’s legal affairs.
The 82-year-old president traveled to Angola, where he subsequently pledged $1 billion in humanitarian support to Africans displaced by “historic droughts and food insecurity.” The outrageous largess coming as residents in North Carolina struggle to overcome the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Helene — winter has hit the region and, with temperatures in the teens, some are still living in tents.
“The United States continues to be the world’s largest provider of humanitarian aid and development assistance,” Biden declared on Tuesday. “That’s going to increase, you know, that’s the right thing for the wealthiest nation in the world to do. Today I’m announcing over $1 billion in new humanitarian support for Africans displaced from homes by historic droughts and food insecurity.”

Biden Administration Spent Nearly $400,000 Interviewing Transgender People in India
By Robert Schmad November 24, 2024
Between March 2021 and February 2024, HHS paid out $389,087 to a team of academics at Drexel to perform “quantitative” interviews with 30 transgender men across Delhi and Mumbai, India’s two largest cities. Additionally, the Biden administration provided the researchers with federal funding to distribute online surveys to 300 transgender men living in those cities. The ultimate goals of the publicly-funded research project were to “inform the development and evaluation of an intervention to promote mental health” for transgender people in India and to “impact rapidly evolving transgender health and social policies in India and beyond.”
Specifically, the study investigated the prevalence of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and suicidality, among transgender people in India. It sought to understand what variables were contributing to the occurrence of those conditions. The framework used by the team of Drexel researchers aimed to “put the gender back into transgender health,” according to the grant’s description.
The researchers argued that their work is necessary because the “transgender community is experiencing major socio-legal changes that may affect mental health” in India. One of the policy recommendations made in the final report produced by the team of researchers was to implement public funding for “gender-affirmative healthcare,” including hormone therapy and sex change surgeries.

Biden and Harris Raided Medicare to Fund Green New Deal: Premiums Are Now Set to Spike
When Democrats rammed through the Inflation Reduction Act during the days they controlled all of Washington, D.C., it ignited a chain reaction that led to higher Medicare costs for America’s senior citizens.
“Nearly two years after its passage, the IRA has diverted nearly $260 billion from the projected Medicare ‘savings’ to pay for special interest handouts like large tax credits for costly electric vehicles, enormous subsidies paid to big health insurer-PBM corporations, and funding health care programs for illegal immigrants,” Ron Fitzwater, Chief Executive Officer of the Missouri Pharmacy Association, wrote in an Op-Ed in the Missouri Times.
“The Biden-Harris administration is not protecting Medicare; they’re stealing from it,” he wrote.

The private sector is learning the hard — and costly — way that much of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion model is discriminatory and subject to expensive litigation. That has corporations “quietly altering” their approach, according to the Associated Press.
While federal agencies have also faced a mountain of legal challenges, the Biden administration has nevertheless pressed on with the President’s commitment to a “whole of government” DEI effort.
The Department of Health and Human Services — with a budget surpassed only by the Pentagon — employs 294 DEI staffers at an annual cost of $38.7 MILLION.
That’s doesn’t even include another $29.4 million in payroll for seven Offices of Minority Health embedded within various HHS agencies!
While their roles are dedicated to DEI, related efforts have permeated through virtually every area of the department.
Variations of the term “equity” appear an astonishing 829 times in the department’s 2025 budget request to Congress, impacting hundreds of millions of dollars of spending programs.

Thankfully, now that Trump has been elected president, this madness will soon be coming to an end Nancy
Biden-Harris admin has so far piled on nearly $1,780,000,000,000 in regulatory costs on Americans
The Biden-Harris administration has put in nearly $1.78 trillion worth of rules and regulations as of October since January 2021, with much of that being finalized in the last year, according to the American Action Forum (AAF).
Just since January, the federal government has produced $1.46 trillion in total net costs from various rules and regulations, with $1.33 trillion in new costs coming from finalized rules, according to the AAF. The total number of finalized regulations put in place this year is 327 as of Nov. 1.
President Joe Biden’s added regulatory costs are dramatically higher than those of former Presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama, according to the AAF. In the same amount of time it took Biden to rack up the nearly $1.78 trillion in regulations, the Obama administration reached $490.5 billion in 2012, and the Trump administration hit $3 billion in 2020, according to the AAF.

Bill O’Reilly on what a Kamala Harris victory means.
TRANSCRIPT:
O’REILLY:
If Kamala Harris wins, and both houses were to go to the Democrats, this is what would happen to this country. All right. Number one, amnesty for all undocumented aliens who have not committed a felony. All of them. So we’d have 15 million new citizens. Amnesty. Reparations for slavery. That would cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Money would be given to African-Americans who had ancestors in the slave situation. I don’t know how that would ever happen. Logistically, it would be a nightmare to try to trace all that back. But that’s what Kamala Harris wants. You don’t believe me? Listen to this. Go.
“You would be willing to lead a conversation of what reparations for black people will look like?”.
“Yeah, including things like what we should be doing to take very seriously undiagnosed and untreated trauma. Take that very seriously.”
Yeah, okay. No. All right. Three Allowing the government to undermine parental authority from coast to coast in abortion and gender matters involving their minor children. So there would be federal laws passed that say, hey, if your kid wants to transition from a male to a female, you can’t stop it. If your daughter wants to have an abortion, you don’t even know about it. That girl can get an abortion with no parental notification. That’s what Kamala Harris supports. And I’m not even going to get into the taxpayer money that would pay for the gender operations of convicts of migrants. No restraint. Remember, there’s no restraint on abortion for Kamala Harris. None. And she’d bring that same mentality over to the gender transition.

Thanks to one of our conservative ladies for sharing this information with us. Nancy
I went to Harris Teeter today and while they are asking customers if they want to round up to support Hurricane Helen victims, the money goes to the Red Cross. I did a bit of research, knowing what I do about the Red Cross. The irony is Red Cross is a FEMA partner and partially responsible for FEMA not having funds to support Hurricane Helen relief.
The House Oversight Committee opened a probe in May to look into FEMA’s misuse of funds to “incentivize illegal immigration. The Red Cross is identified as a facilitator. Other sources show Red Cross takes the FEMA money and distributes it to NGO’s that support illegal migration to/in the US.

In the above report: A recent media report outlines how the American Red Cross is contributing to—not helping to alleviate—illegal immigration. In addition to the American Red Cross working to facilitate migrants’ journeys to the southwest border, a DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) report questions FEMA’s oversight of EFSP reimbursements in general.
