Rebecca Kiessling's righteous indignation steals the show

Tuesday, Rebecca Kiessling became a household name. That's because Ms. Kiessling's riveting testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee brought the House down. Ms. Kiessling "lost her 18-year-old son Kyler and 20-year-old son Caleb in July 2020 after they consumed what they believed were Percocet pills. A 17-year-old girl also died in the same incident, but the individual who sold the fentanyl-filled counterfeit Percocet pills and also consumed them survived."

Ms. Kiessling continued, saying "Because he survived, [police] had leads to who he got it from, and they actually could try to start tracing it back. Law enforcement made it clear to me that this fentanyl came from Mexico — came from our southern border."

Democrats have the audacity to say that Biden's policies are working. Democrats "have pointed to increased seizures under the Biden administration at the ports of entry as a sign that attempts to stop the drug are working." That's insulting. Increased seizures are proof that there's increased trafficking. Despite their valiant efforts, the DEA only stops a fraction of the shipments.

Ms. Kiessling brought the House down, though, with this display of righteous indignation:

"If we had Chinese troops lining up along our southern border with weapons aimed at our people, with weapons of mass destruction into our cities, you damn well know you would do something about it. We have a weather balloon from China going across there. Nobody died. And everybody's freaking out about it. And 100,000 die every year and nothing's being done. Not enough is being done. Numbers are going up, not down."
Later, Ms. Kiessling added "This is a war. Act like it."

War is exactly the right terminology for what's happening. The Sinaloa Cartel wants to make tons of money. If that means 15-20 year-olds have to die for them to achieve their profit margin, they're fine with that.

The Biden administration hasn't cared about the U.S.-Mexico border. It's shown through the illegal crossings statistics for FY2020-FY2023YTD. In FY2020, the last year of the Trump administration, 460,000 people crossed illegally. In FY2021, the first year of the Biden administration, 1,750,000 people crossed illegally. In FY2022, 2,380,000 people crossed illegally. Thus far in FY2023, 1,010,000 people have crossed illegally. That's in 5 months. The peak season for the year is still ahead. It isn't a stretch to think that 3,000,000 might illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border in FY2023.

Elon Musk nails it:

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
