Secretary Mayorkas' nonfeasance

DHS Secretary Mayorkas' nonfeasance is getting everyone's attention. He might be the worst Cabinet secretary in US history, even worse than John Kerry as Secretary of State. He's dishonest, slippery and not that bright.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies' statement, "DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared before the House Homeland Security Committee last week to discuss his department’s FY 2022 budget request. The main takeaways? One, DHS is having trouble filling its ranks of Border Patrol agents; and, two, it has no plans to ask for any more."

Let's remember that the Biden budget doesn't call for an increase in DHS spending:
Keep in mind that at the same time that it has placed a freeze on requesting additional new agents, the Biden administration is planning what the Washington Post has described as a "four-year, $4 billion plan for Central America, investing in the local economies and nongovernmental organizations to convince would-be migrants to stay home."

Biden has often said that a budget is reflection of a person's priorities:

Based on Biden's past statements, his administration doesn't value Border Patrol agents. They aren't a high priority for Mayorkas, either. If they are, he should resign in protest of Biden's budget. There's a crisis on the border. Border Patrol is spread far too thin. Secretary Mayorkas isn't fighting for additional agents. He isn't even asking the boots on the ground what they need.

That's the personification of not giving a damn. The message is clear: Biden prefers open borders. If you don't have people enforcing the border, what other message is getting sent?

I suppose there would be some logic to this if Mayorkas were correct in his assertions that the current surge of illegal migrants at the Southwest border is “due to ongoing violence, natural disasters, food insecurity, and poverty” in their home countries. There is no reason to believe that Mayorkas is correct, however. Take recent statements by Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei. After meeting with “Border Czar” Vice President Kamala Harris, Giammattei had a different take on the causes of the surge on June 9, blaming the Biden administration’s statements on immigration:
Well, humanitarian messages were used here by the coyotes in a distorted manner, because what they said over there is that they will promote family reunification so the coyotes came and took the children and the teenagers to the United States. And the borders were full not only with people from Guatemala, but with a lot of people from all over, which is why our proposal is that messages should be clear. The vice president sent a clear message yesterday of not to come because we will not let you in. That's a clear message. But if you have a lukewarm message, it only creates the opportunity to misinterpret.

 Secretary Mayorkas is just one of this administration's chief appeasers. This cabinet and administration is getting known for their lack of talent.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
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
