We know how.   Fill a backpack, pay a coyote, cross the river, and enter the US illegally.   In the game of Monopoly, pass Go, collect $200, and head for a street name that’s determined by a roll of the dice.    Illegal border crossing isn’t as dicey as Monopoly anymore and it’s way more lucrative than a measly $200.

Do we know why?  Maybe it’s this simple.  The Biden Administration is carrying the water of the Democrat think tank that wants to change the face of America and that can change how it votes permanently.  Turn Texas purple or even blue and the national electoral college vote is a fait accomplis.

Biden said last week that he was doing all that he could do to control the border.  That’s a flat-out lie.    His minions, specifically WHPS Karine Pepe Pierre, Director of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas, and Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council John Kirby, swear to it.

Nothing to see here they say.  The border is safe, secure, and orderly, and allows record numbers of illegal migrants and drugs to cross unfettered 24/7/365.

But the ruse is filled with questions given the abject denial of the obvious.

Why does Biden want Texas to stand down and remove the razor wire?  Why did he go to court to get the legal pathway to allow illegals in?

Why did over 28k Chinese Nationals attempt to get in last month alone?  Why are over 90% of them males aged 18-25?  Are all of the Chinese females happy in their homeland, but none of the males?

Why do so many more people from a host of countries want in right now?  Is it cause the getting is good?  Why is the breakdown overwhelming adult males?

Why are the Republicans just now attempting to impeach Mayorkas three years and one month into him overseeing the sieve?  Is it political window dressing?

Do you think that the Senate will vote to convict Mayorkas?  Think again.

Doesn’t Mayorkas take his lead straight from the big guy?  Why aren’t they impeaching Biden, then?  Is it political suicide to do so?  Probably.  America is as tired of impeachment proceedings as it is of COVID vaccines that aren’t vaccines.

Why is the Senate proposing a bill this week to put restrictions on illegal border crossings that aren’t restrictive at all?  Is it to appease Republicans who said no more Ukraine money unless “we do something at the border?”

When was the last time you saw a single bullet fly in Ukraine?  Does the press even cover it?  Is there still a war there?  We digress.

When the bill is DOA in the House, will the Chuck Schumer types of the DC complex find a microphone to throw up their hands on the border problem and say we tried but the Republicans don’t want to do anything?  Bet all of your Monopoly money on it.

On day one Biden reversed three border policies that Trump had penned on his first day.  If Trump wins in November he’s already said that on day one he’ll reverse the reversal.

Then we’ll start impeachment proceedings all over again.

Ain’t America great?

Millions of illegal immigrants think so.

They landed on Free Parking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s cold outside, but ten nuggets below will warm your innards and get the blood flowing.

1.  Biden warned Iran and told us as much.  “Don’t.”  He paused.  “Don’t, don’t, don’t.”  They did.  Does he remember reinstating aid to them to the tune of $6 billion for “humanitarian purposes?”  Is the 160th attack on a US base in the last four months since America expressed support for Israel, this time killing three soldiers and injuring scores of others, humanitarian?
2.  Is the world too big of a stage for Joe?  He thinks not.  Just Saturday he reminded us that he’s been doing foreign policy for a “long, long, long time.”  Hillary Clinton reminded us that as Secretary of State, she flew over two million miles.   Does doing a lot of something make you great at it?  We think not.  Three international conflicts and counting now have us losing lives and giving away billions.
3.  Old Joe from Scranton was on another stage yesterday.  Sunday he was pimping his past and pandering for his future at an African-American church in South Carolina.   “You had my back, and I hope I had yours,” he campaigned.
4.  Then he left the pulpit, walked down some stairs, and looked confused as to when and where to walk next.  If you can’t remember how you got on the stage, maybe you should stay off of it.  Maybe his handlers should tell him to always exit stage left like his politics?
5. How much longer will Nikki Haley try to take center stage from Donald J?  She’s down by 27 points to him in her home state of South Carolina in the latest Tyson Group poll.  Trump stands at 58% to Haley’s 31%.
6. She’ll run till both the Democrat and Republican money dries up.  SC is on 2/28.  First up is Nevada on 2/8.  It’s doubtful that either party will help her past 2/29 in this leap year.
7.  Two parties supporting one candidate is rare in today’s divided world.  Conversely, is Donald Trump the only President to draw the ire of both parties while keeping his promises(like them or not) to the American people?
8.  Five minutes of MSNBC this AM was enough to hear Joe Scarborough claim that Donald Trump favors open borders by supporting Speaker Mike Johnson’s exclamation that the bipartisan border bill was dead on arrival in the House.  Mika nodded affirmatively right on cue.  Joe can articulate DNC talking points way better than most.  Is Joe S. old enough to remember when Trump was insistent on building that “big, beautiful wall” that Congress wasn’t funding?
9.  Looks like we got us a convoy trucking through the night to south Texas starting right about now.  If you’re up for it, you can join a projected  700k people as they assimilate starting in Virginia to Jacksonville, FL, to Baton Rouge, LA, to Austin, then south to the standoff.
10.  The length of the border at the source of the Federal v Texas standoff is 2.5 miles.  The Texas border makes up about half of the U.S. border with Mexico stretching 1,254 miles from the Gulf of México to El Paso.   So, after we figure that out, there’s just 1251.5 miles to go.

Time to go.

Good news.  We don’t have a crisis at the border anymore.  Bad news.   We have an open border.

With each passing month unenviable records are broken time and again with hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants crossing into the USA.  What has changed to cause this record flow?  The US Government is overtly encouraging it and blatantly lying to us daily about the cause, effect, complicity, and consequences.

Are you old enough to remember when President Biden anointed VP Kamala Harris as border czar?  Approaching three years later she told CNN yesterday “The first bill that we offered after inauguration was to fix the immigration system which included a pathway for citizenship and put the resources that are needed into the border.  But sadly the people on the other side of the aisle are playing politics with the situation.”

That word salad scores a perfect four out of four Pinocchio’s.  “Resources” is to “money” like “women’s wellness” is to “abortion.”  They want more money to process more illegals and grant citizenship, not slow the flow.

The current administration is backed into a corner on this issue.  It’s polling as the number one issue in America for the looming November election.

They opened the door because they wanted to.  Now it’s a stampede.  Their strategy was at first to tell us that it was under control.  Now, it is to blame Republicans.   Four years prior the Democrat-controlled House would not grant Trump what was then a measly $5 billion to build his “big, beautiful wall.”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott opened the eyes of non-border states by bussing thousands of migrants to NY, Chicago, DC, and beyond.  “Take that,” he said.  This greatly enhanced the awareness of the severity of the problem by placing the migrants into their neighborhoods.

He doubled down in the last month by building barbed wire fences (the kind the WH uses for protection from time to time) in a couple of key entry points.  The federal government sued to have it taken down.  They don’t want any barriers.

Yesterday Peter Doocey asked, “Does razor wire work to secure the border?”  Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council in the White House John Kirby responded, “I don’t think so that’s why we’re taking it down.”  Abbott tripled down and is putting up even more.

Not to be left out, Mensa candidate Karine Pepe Jean Claude le Phew Pierre said she’s “certainly glad” they sued Texas to remove “ineffective” wire because “it got in the way.”   She did.

They want to make unfettered entry easier.  Period.  Plain and simple.

And they are willing to lie directly and repeatedly to the American public as they continue.  They must think Americans are either dumb, not paying attention, or approving.  Only 31% do approve.

How many are dumb?  We digress.

Our first President George Washington couldn’t not tell a lie to his father after taking a hatchet to the cherry tree.

Our 46th President Joseph Biden and his minions can’t tell the truth.

Good news.  The presidential election is nine months out.

Bad news.  Despite the border, inflation, and one international crisis after another, Joe Biden has a fair to middling chance of reelection.

And, that’s the truth.

 

Elon Musk isn’t busy enough with X, Tesla, and Space X.  Cars, tweets, and trips to Mars are on his plate.

More than a few folks think he rescued free speech when he purchased Twitter, now X, and fundamentally changed the platform’s guardrails.

So, yesterday, he flew across the Atlantic and was interviewed on stage at the European Jewish Association gathering.   He exercised his very own freedom of speech opining, “Always be wary of any name that sounds like it could come out of a George Orwell book.  That’s never a good sign because it sounds like, sure, diversity, equity, and inclusion.  These all sound like nice words, but what it really means is discrimination on the basis of race, sex, and sexual orientation.”

The acronym is DEI.  But, should it be DIE?

Is a company or organization better because of DEI, or better because they hire the most qualified person for any and every position necessary regardless of their race, creed, origin, nationality, color, or sexual orientation?

Rational and logical people know the answer.

But rational and logical left the planet a few years back.  But, is logic making a comeback?  Is DEI going to DIE?

Well, DIE might be a bit strong.  But its health is waning.  The pendulum seems to be swinging.

Its trip to the doctor was accelerated by the abysmal misuse of funds by Black Lives Matter.  Sure, its primary concerns are incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people.  But, it could have been so much more.

They squandered all of the donations that well-meaning companies contributed.  If you were a friend or a family member of its founder your life mattered.  Inclusion. The bucks stopped there.

If you want real inclusion you need a family and an education that gives you the fundamental building blocks to succeed.  If the family fails the schooling needs to succeed.  If the schooling fails the family must be the backbone.

When both fail, the child/student fails.  Their future success becomes more difficult.

Should a company “give” them a job that they aren’t best qualified for to make up for the failure?  If they want to fall behind they should.

What are those subjects that provide those fundamental building blocks?   Some, in no particular order, are Taxes, Personal Finance, Cooking, Insurance, Home Repair, Self Defense, Survival Skills, Social Etiquette, Public Speaking, Car Maintenance, Stress Management, Nutrition, Work Ethic, and Humility.

Add in a little reading, writing, and arithmetic, and off to work you go.

The only answer is education.  It’s a matter of who teaches what and when.

The who is the nuclear family(or what is left of it) and the school system.

The when should be “as soon as one can comprehend and lasting as long as possible.”
