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:

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...
