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.

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
