That is what President Trump’s former Ambassador to Germany and former Acting Director of National Intelligence is saying, and I think he is onto something.
Richard Grenell is in a position to know…..
If you are thinking it is Kamala Harris, give Grenell’s assertions some thought.
You may recall that Harris and Rice were both under consideration to join Joe on the ticket as Veep mainly because both are black women, and in the age of BLM, Joe was throwing a bone to an increasingly doubting black voter base.
The problem for Rice was that she is best known for her massive lying spree about what happened in Benghazi and no one on the Democrat team wanted that nightmare revisited.
Grenell calls Susan Rice the ‘shadow president’ and ‘no one is paying attention’
Richard Grenell, the former acting director of National Intelligence under President Trump, said in an interview with CPAC that he believes Susan Rice has assumed the role of a “shadow president.”
Rice, who served as national security adviser under President Obama, was tapped last December by President Biden to take charge of the White House Domestic Policy Council. It is in that role that Grenell believes she is exerting her influence.
I don’t have time for even a cursory analysis of Rice’s history, but I wrote about her often over the years at RRW because it was she, Samantha Power and Hillary, the “Vulcans”, who were responsible for the destruction of Libya which in turn resulted in Libya becoming the major African launch pad for the illegal migrant invasion of Europe.
Daniel Greenfield writing at Frontpagein May of 2020 did a thorough job of describing Rice’s character and career.
How Susan Rice’s Role in the Rwandan Genocide Predicted Obamagate
A woman who can turn her back on genocide would hardly blink at spying on Republicans.
A woman capable of seeing the murder of hundreds of thousands of people [referring to her screw-up on the Clinton-era Rwandan Genocide.—ed] only in terms of an election campaign was a bridge too far even for a party of traitors and appeasers who still believed in something.
But Rice, an abrasive political operative and intellectual lightweight, understood that her only career path was a willingness to find a boss and do anything for him. No questions asked. That’s why Rice ended up as the point woman on Obamagate and why she went out to lie about Benghazi.
As Dowd wrote damningly, Rice had rented her soul, “on the talk shows one Sunday in September.”The New York Times columnist was referring to Rice’s tour of talk shows where she falsely claimed that the Benghazi attack had really been a protest in response to a YouTube video, and that it was spontaneous, rather than a planned attack, all of which contradicted the intelligence and local information.
Here is the woman supposedly now, according to Grenell, running the White House because Joe, frankly, isn’t all there.
That is all I have time for, just wanted to put this on your radar screens to watch going forward.
P.S. Rice made some news in March when it was learned that she was “burning sage” in her White House officeto purge the evil spirits supposedly left behind by Trump advisor Stephen Miller. Prayers for America with ‘leaders’ like Rice.
Add Phoenix, and Arizona generally, as a place to avoid as homelessness grows for veterans and families while illegal aliens are given hotel rooms and three meals a day by the Biden (Americans last!) administration.
Take a couple of minutes to watch this youtube video below sent by a reader.
For those of us fortunate to live rural, or small town America, lives we are insulated from the deplorable conditions in most major Democrat run cities, including Phoenix where gated communities separate the elite from the homeless population.
In fact, some cities, like socialist San Francisco went so far as to sanction homeless camps to help fight the virus.
According to the Toronto Star, Phoenix was one of those cities, run by Democrats, that has normalized homeless encampments supposedly to keep the poor from getting sick.
Just for ‘fun’ search for images of homeless camps in America and you will wonder if this is really America, or some third world hell hole you are seeing.
Here is NPRon the rise in homelessness in America—even without the virus excuse.
HUD: Growth Of Homelessness During 2020 Was ‘Devastating,’ Even Before The Pandemic
The nation’s homeless population grew last year for the fourth year in a row. On a single night in January 2020, there were more than 580,000 individuals who were homeless in the United States, a 2% increase from the year before.
The numbers, released by the Department of Housing and Urban Development Thursday, do not reflect the impact of the pandemic.
“And we know the pandemic has only made the homelessness crisis worse,” HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge said in a video message accompanying the report. She called the numbers “devastating” and said the nation has a “moral responsibility to end homelessness.”
Among the report’s more sobering findings: homelessness among veterans and families did not improve for the first time in many years.
[….]
As has been the case for years, a disproportionate share of those experiencing homelessness were Black — about 39% of the total, though African Americans make up about 13% of the nation’s overall population. Twenty-three percent of those who were homeless last year identified as Hispanic or Latino.
I had no idea so many ‘people of color’ make up such a large percentage of the homeless. It seems, at least to me, that most photos of homeless people in corporate media reports show White drug-addled derelicts.
So why isn’t Black Lives Mattersupporting their Black brothers instead of encouraging more immigrants who will continue to compete with Blacks for jobs and social services?
It could get worse….
“I think we’re going to see homelessness increase,” said Sean Read, chief program officer at Friendship Place, a nonprofit that serves homeless individuals in Washington, D.C. Homelessness is “generally a delayed response” to economic setbacks, Read noted.
Nevertheless, NPR goes on to say a lot will depend on how much money the Biden administration will make available for America’s homeless people.
But, not a word about what the border jumpers will add to the cost of stemming the tide of America’s growing poverty. And, we haven’t even talked about crime growingalong with poverty.
I’m wondering what kind of world are we leaving for our children and grandchildren?
Related!
Not just illegal aliens, see that the Biden refugee contractors are out and about in America looking for fresh territory in which to place legal third world migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
So, if your town doesn’t have homeless camps yet, don’t despair, Biden’s Open Borders will surely get you to poverty-parity real soon!
But, at least in some states Republican governors are saying NO!
“I do not want our kids harmed as the result of President Biden’s bad policies.”
(Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts)
One Republican Governor who apparently doesn’t mind helping Biden out of the border crisis mess is never-Trumper and Jeb Bush pal Republican Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland.
MD Republican Gov Larry Hogan apparently okay with UACs taking Maryland foster care slots.
Or, does he even know that an organization in our state, which received $55 million in the last 12 months from the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement specifically to care for the UAC kids, is using Maryland’s foster care system to place the mostly teenaged ‘children’ (who have so-far found no relative in America willing to take them) into Maryland homes?
Makes me wonder what Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS)is doing with $55 million (75% of their federal boodle) that is for the children if they are simply placing them in other taxpayer-funded foster care as this news at CBS suggests.
For months now, we’ve seen images of federal facilities packed with thousands of unaccompanied minors at a time when there are a record number of children reaching the southern border, most coming from Central America. The sheer volume of children is overwhelming the federal government’s resources with thousands of children packed into facilities never meant to handle this amount.
Krish O’Mara Vignarajah, LIRS CEO previously was a candidate for governor of Maryland and before that she worked for Michelle in the White House.
But one Baltimore based organization, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services, is working to move kids out of those facilities and into the homes of families eager to help.
[….]
“Our focus is getting these children out of Customs and Border Protection facilities,” said Krish O’Mara Vignarajah***, CEO of LIRS.
[….]
LIRS pairs kids with foster families across the country, including dozens here in Maryland.
[….]
But in the meantime, Vignarajah says the need is still great as the children continue to arrive at the southern border. “We have seen unprecedented numbers of children coming across the border and so we need more parents than ever before and so if anyone out there is willing to open up their home and hearts, these children could use their care,” she said.
(Just so you know, until a few short weeks about the ‘children’ illegally crossing our borders were referred to as Unaccompanied Alien Children, however a Biden administration edict now directs all media to refer to them as Unaccompanied Migrant Children, or simply Unaccompanied Children! Here Pew does what they are told!)
Republican Governors Block Unaccompanied Migrant Children
FORT WORTH, Texas — The federal foster care system was unprepared to house the record nearly 19,000 unaccompanied children who came to the United States in March, so the Biden administration asked some states to temporarily house them.
Republican governors in Iowa, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming said no.
“This is not our problem,” said Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds. “This is the president’s problem. He’s the one that has opened the border and he needs to be responsible for this and he needs to stop it.”
The governors claim that unaccompanied children would displace those already in state foster care or limit states’ ability to make new placements.
“Nebraska is declining their request because we are reserving our resources for serving our kids,” Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts said in an April 13 news release. “I do not want our kids harmed as the result of President Biden’s bad policies.”
Who is paying?
But federal officials note that care providers for unaccompanied children are paid via federal grants and operate separately from state child welfare systems.
Is LIRS paying the families directly out of their federal payola? If so, they need to explain it! And, explain who is monitoring the care the illegal alien kids are getting once placed in foster care homes.
Of course as Pew admits there are still costs to state taxpayers:
Caring for unaccompanied children does require some limited state resources, because states license and monitor foster care providers contracted by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the federal agency in charge of housing unaccompanied minors.
However, there currently are no federally funded foster care providers for unaccompanied minors in any of the five states where Republican governors have expressed concerns, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services records analyzed by Stateline show.
Pew goes on and on consuming many column inches on the subject of bed space and how much, or how little, Trump left us with when the Dems stole the 2020 election.
Contractor middlemen….
Pew reports something we already knew (at least for LIRS and the USCCB).
Foster care providers who care for unaccompanied children include the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, BCFS Health and Human Services, Upbring, and Urban Strategies.
But, still unclear is how does this contract system work? And, why are middlemen even necessary? Couldn’t the feds just send money directly to state agencies willing to participate?
I wondered where Endeavorsis in all of this? That is another give-or-take $500 million for housing the ‘children.’
I guess we can conclude that our tax dollars (to care for the illegal alien kids) go through a bunch of contractor middlemen masquerading as non-profits (skimming off generous salaries and office overhead) as they go about looking for states willing to put unaccompanied alien children into their state’s foster care system thereby displacing needy American kids.
As I have been saying all along, federal refugee contractors put Americans Last!
Is that what your governor is doing as well?
*** I just had a look at a recent IRS Form 990 for LIRS, and Vignarajah is pulling down an annual salary and benefits package of a quarter of a million (apparently a pay cut from the previous CEO who left under a cloud).
Since LIRS is about 87% federally funded, they are a fake non-profit. LOL! You can be assured that this ‘religious’ federal contractor is not passing the plate on Sundays to pay for their ‘charitable’ work.
See this post I wrote a year ago at RRW about Krish and her hubby, the Washington DC Leftie power couple, working another angle—we must welcome more migrants of all stripes due to global warming!
And, somehow that is going to help America’s wildlife and our great outdoor spaces—say what?
Apparently the fascists running Joe Biden’s government these days don’t like what Nick Fuentes says since he has not committed any crimes. Scary stuff!
The story is at VDARE, a website the Left abhors and so therefore you should visit it often even if you don’t agree with every word they publish.
Fuentes is apparently being harassed because of his political activities in support of America First and Donald Trump and because his speech is uncomfortable for some tender ears.
Remember the old adage….First they came for Nick!
America First Patriot Nick Fuentes Put On No-Fly List
America First host Nick Fuentes can no longer fly on an airplane. He announced Tuesday that he couldn’t check into his flight because the authorities didn’t clear him to fly.
[….]
Fuentes believes he was put on the no-fly list due to hysteria over the Capitol protests. He has suffered numerous bans since January 6.
Fuentes was on his way to Florida for a press conference and rally against Big Tech and for Governor DeSantis push to rein-in the power of the tech giants in his state.
Here Fuentes posted news on the gathering of free speech advocates on Twitter last Friday.
You probably noticed that Fuentes is at least still on Twitter when yours truly was suspended back in January.
VDARE notes that Glenn Greenwald, a staunch defender of American civil liberties no matter which side of the political divide one resides on, came to Fuentes’ defense.
This could be you someday, but that is no reason to pull any political punches in these difficult times.
And if this is the first time you have heard of Nick Fuentes, he is the host of a podcast America First Live.
Check it out!
LOL! By singling Fuentes out like this, those seeking to silence him may just have broadened his audience.

Featured photo for the Vatican event to take place May 6-8. Look who is lurking over Chairman Joe’s shoulder. https://vaticanconference2021.org/
***Update***Readers are asking me what happened as they began watching the online conference when their programming went down. One friend indicates that she heard they were deplatformed and will be attempting to get back on live with another host. When I learn something I will let you know.
Entitled Covid-19 and the Great Reset, the online conference to counter the Pope’s event begins Friday in advance of the Vatican’s “health” conference that features the likes of Chelsea Clinton and Dr. Fauci along with a whole host of globalist movers and shakers.
The purpose of the Truth Over Fear Summitis to alert Americans to the use of the Chinese virus ‘crisis’ to bring about the globalists’ dream of the international so-called Great Reset now aided and abetted by the Pope himself.
Here is what the organizers of Truth Over Fear are saying about their event which begins this Friday, April 30th:
Truth Over Fear summit is a three-day online gathering of 40+ frontline doctors, scientists, attorneys, researchers, and journalists, who will share invaluable and eye-opening insights into the truth behind the headlines, Covid-19, the rushed vaccine, and the Great Reset.
Big Tech does not want you to hear this information and is working hard to censor us. Most of our presenters have been silenced. In fact, the same day we published this summit, YouTube terminated our account and we are now shadow banned everywhere.
You, and only YOU, have the right to make INFORMED decisions for yourself and your loved ones.
Do not let anyone take those rights away from you.
We the People need to stand up and say ENOUGH.
Wow! Take a look at the speaker line-up!
Both sides of the political great divide are represented and you will recognize some of the doctors speaking as ones who have been openly critical of the mRNA shot.
Meanwhile, LifeSiteNewshas published a petition focused on how the conference is antithetical to the views of most Catholics. The petition urges the Vatican to cancel it.
PETITION: Tell Vatican to CANCEL ‘Health’ conference packed with pro-abort, secularist speakers
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò
The Vatican has announced its fifth International “Health” Conference on “Exploring the Mind, Body & Soul,” to take place between May 6-8, and nearly everything about the conference is rotten — morally, scientifically and culturally.
Incredibly, the conference organizers have listed huge numbers of globalist and abortion-promoting speakers such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, vaccine developers, Mormon elders, pro-abortion Chelsea Clinton, population control advocate Jane Goodall, a New Age activist, a prominent UK Muslim scholar, and pro-abortion American actress Cindy Crawford, among others.
The logo for the conference is a circle of people linking hands, colored in the tones of the LGBT rainbow flag, and positioned next to the crossed keys and Papal tiara of the Pontiff. In the ten goals listed for the conference, the Pontifical Council for Culture makes no reference to God or the Catholic Church.
The organization and promotion of this conference is beyond an outrage, it is a closer to a sacrilege (also outrageous!).
Indeed, of the conference, Archbishop Viganò has said that the Holy See is “making itself the servant of the New World Order.”
If you are not a subscriber of my other blog, Refugee Resettlement Watch, you probably missedmy post yesterday.
It is more on the continuing fascination I have with how the Biden administration managed to cause his NO Borders pals heads to explode whenhe made the unforgiveable errorof saying he would leave Trump’s very low refugee admissions cap in place for the next six months.
Such a rookie political blunder suggests to me that this administration is internally chaotic and weaker than at least I anticipated.
Although, just as I am wrapping up here it occurs to me that maybe Joe himself hasn’t bought into all of the Far Left agenda because it was he personally who didn’t want to raise the cap this year. Watch out Joe! President Kamala is lurking!
That is all I have time for, just wanted to put this on your radar screens to watch going forward.
