Kamala Harris's invitation

Henry Cuellar, the Democrat representing Texas's 28th District in Congress, sent an invitation to Kamala Harris to join him on a visit to the US-Mexico border. That's the last thing she wants. Her problem is that this invitation won't disappear anytime soon. Cuellar is a targeted House member. The last thing he wants is to be seen as unresponsive to local sheriffs, mayors, towns people and law enforcement.

In the invitation, Cuellar writes "I encourage you to join me and other Members of Congress, while we visit with the people on the ground who deal with these issues every day. I believe it is critical that you meet with local stakeholders and residents, consider their concerns, and use their lived experiences to implement more effective policies." He continues, writing "The rapid rise in the number of migrants arriving at our Southern Border has placed severe burdens on our communities. As the U.S. emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, South Texans continue to struggle economically, due to outdated commercial travel restriction. The situation on the border will only worsen, as more migrants are expected to arrive." Here's the full letter:

Since I started this post, I watched an interview by Harris Faulkner that's thrown cold water on my opinion of Rep. Cuellar. During the interview, he said that President Trump's wall was "a 14th Century solution to a 21st Century problem." Does this look like a 14th Century structure?
Cuellar likes talking about Harris talking with local sheriffs, mayors, towns people and law enforcement. If he spoke with border patrol, which is what Trump did, he'd know that the Border Patrol loves Trump's wall. Support from the people who patrol our borders is virtually unanimous. It's time Cuellar practiced what he's preaching.

Finally, it's time for Biden and Harris to spend an entire day on the US-Mexico border, talking with law enforcement, mayors, sheriffs and towns people. I don't expect Biden and Harris to suddenly develop a case of empathy. What I expect is that they'll notice that doing nothing to fix this border crisis is hurting Democrats and Biden-Harris politically.

By the time 2024 hits, the border crisis will have destroyed the Democratic Party. It's that toxic.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
