The Joe Biden transition team has announced a raft of Executive Orders that the new president will sign during his first days in office. From mask mandates to climate change, Biden appears determined to enact as much of his platform (and more) as possible through Executive tools. It seems Congress will be out of the loop for these monumental actions as it attempts to remove a man from office who has already left.

A Busy Week Ahead
A memo released by Ronald Klain, Biden’s incoming chief of staff, outlines what areas will be addressed directly after the Jan. 20 inauguration. “In his first ten days in office, President-elect Biden will take decisive action to address… four crises, prevent other urgent and irreversible harms, and restore America’s place in the world,” the Klain memo says. Ambitious, indeed.
“These executive actions will deliver relief to the millions of Americans that are struggling in the face of these crises. President-elect Biden will take action — not just to reverse the gravest damages of the Trump administration — but also to start moving our country forward,” the memo states.
The four main “crises” to be dealt with include “the COVID-19 crisis, the resulting economic crisis, the climate crisis, and a racial equity crisis.”
On his first day, it is reported that Biden will sign Executive Orders that include:
- Issue a mask mandate on federal property and interstate travel.
- Extend a pause on evictions and foreclosures.
- Extend the existing pause on student loan repayments and interest.
- Take action to rejoin the U.N. 2015 Paris climate agreement.
- Reverse Trump’s travel restrictions on foreign nationals deemed a threat to the U.S.
According to Klain, “These actions will change the course of COVID-19, combat climate change, promote racial equity and support other underserved communities, and rebuild our economy in ways that strengthen the backbone of this country: the working men and women who built our nation.”
Klain concluded:
“Of course, these actions are just the start of our work. Much more will need to be done to fight COVID-19, build our economy back better, combat systemic racism and inequality, and address the existential threat of the climate crisis. But by Feb. 1, America will be moving in the right direction on all four of these challenges — and more — thanks to President-elect Joe Biden’s leadership.”
Ruling By Executive Order
In late 2016, not long after Donald Trump had won the election, outgoing President Barack Obama offered his successor some friendly advice on the subject of using Executive Orders – albeit through an NPR interview. He said:
Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.
“Keep in mind, though, that my strong preference has always been to legislate when I can get legislation done. In my first two years, I wasn’t relying on executive powers, because I had big majorities in the Congress, and we were able to get bills done, get bills passed. And even after we lost the majorities in Congress, I bent over backwards consistently to try to find compromise and a legislative solution to some of the big problems that we’ve got.”
Joe Biden has his majorities in both the House and the Senate, and yet he does not appear willing to heed the advice of his former boss. Perhaps the president-elect sees the present situation as too volatile to wait for actual legislation, or perhaps he and other senior Democrats are not quite willing to let go of the Trump impeachment.

COVID-19 lockdowns are taking down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the resurgence of lockdowns that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $17,300 to stay afloat through March when we hope the economy will be more open, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. In November, 2020, we hit 1.2 million visitors.
We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
