Biden Grants Waivers to Lobbyists to Serve On Transition
By Chad Day and Andrew Restuccia

At least 40 people serving on President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team are or were once registered lobbyists, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal.

The Biden transition team has sought to limit the influence of lobbyists in setting up the new administration. Its ethics rules don’t impose a blanket ban on lobbyists, but they require individuals who are registered lobbyists, or have registered as lobbyists within the past year, to get approval from the transition’s general counsel to serve on the team.

The Journal cross-referenced congressional lobbying databases against the 500-plus people who were announced this week as members of the Biden transition’s agency review teams. Those teams are tasked with implementing the president-elect’s policy agenda, working with career government staffers to get up to speed on key issues and eventually embedding in agencies ahead of the inauguration.

Five people on the teams are currently registered as lobbyists or were registered within the last year, according to the Journal’s analysis.

The agency review teams have yet to start working with federal agencies because the Trump administration has not acknowledged Mr. Biden as the election winner. The Associated Press and other media outlets said Saturday that the former vice president had received enough Electoral College votes to secure the White House and named him the winner.

Biden is not even in office yet, and already the far left is showing their "teeth"...and all of these initiatives like climate change, carbon footprint, green energy, infrastructure share one common theme :
They are very costly and do not contribute to the economy in the way of goods or services.
Bottomline: US likely to go bankrupt. Then we will join China: Chinamerica....aka DSOC...The Divided States Of Chinamerica.

I implore everyone to get this book to see what's ahead.
 

What percentage of the adult population in the US is white males over 40 ? Now I know you've gotten used to such people being over represented in US government, but you are going to have to realize you are in the 21st century and things are changing for the better. The irony here is you thought you had a point but actually made quite a different point by accident. Nice to see the first VP who is female and is not white.
 
DACA architect to run DHS

President-elect Joe Biden chose Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday to become the first immigrant and Latino to lead the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration policy and border security among its vast portfolio.

He developed programs such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that allowed the children of undocumented immigrants. President Donald Trump sought to overturn the program.

Fauci says he accepted Biden's offer to be chief medical adviser "on the spot"

The government's top infectious-disease expert Anthony Fauci said Friday that he "absolutely" will accept the offer from President-elect Joe Biden to serve as his chief medical adviser, telling NBC's "Today" that he said yes "right on the spot."

Why it matters: President Trump had a contentious relationship with Fauci, who has been forced during the pandemic to correct many of the president's false claims about the coronavirus. Biden, meanwhile, has emphasized the importance of "listening to the scientists" throughout his campaign and transition.

Between the lines: Biden's decision to praise and hire Fauci not only continues the contrast he is trying to create with President Trump, who has talked about firing the doctor, but also shows the calibrated media exposure the president-elect and his team are using to control their message and instill public calm.

The big picture: Biden said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday night that on Inauguration Day he will ask Americans to wear a mask for 100 days, "not forever," as a patriotic duty to help curb the spread of the virus until a vaccine is widely available.

  • Fauci said that he spoke to Biden about that suggestion and told him it was a good idea, but clarified that mask-wearing may still be needed after the 100 days.
  • On the vaccine front, Fauci told NBC: "As we get into January and February and March, more and more people will be able to get vaccinated. So now is the time to hang in there and not give up."
