During Texas Republican Representative August Pfluger's questioning of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, Rep. Pfluger described a high-speed chase that ended in tragedy. Rep. Pfluger told Secretary Mayorkas "to apologize to the family of Maria Tambunga and Emilia Tambunga, who were killed last month." Pfluger then said "They're sitting right behind you. They came here today because they want answers. They came here today because of the failures of you and your leadership. They came here because they want closure."
Mayorkas then stood and spoke to the Tambunga family, expressing his condolences to the family before accusing Rep. Pfluger of politicizing the moment. Pfluger replied that the only person politicizing the situation was Secretary Mayorkas. Then Pfluger replied with a question, asking Mayorkas "Mr. Mayorkas, do you disagree with the head Border Patrol agent when he said that our border is not secure?" Mr. Mayorkas replied "I respectfully do in that regard."
This was a powerful moment, confronting Secretary Mayorkas with his failure while putting faces on the Biden administration's failures. Prior to today, the Biden administration could deny their failure through Secretary Mayorkas' testimony. Today, the administration was forced to admit to this family that their loved ones died as a result of the administration's policies:
Then Secretary Mayorkas apologized to the Tambunga family:
Here's Rep. Phluger's cross-examination of Mayorkas: The Biden administration has repeatedly told us through Secretary Mayorkas' testimony that the border is secure. Clearly, that's a pile of BS. Today, the administration came face-to-face with their failed immigration policies. I say failed in the sense of the policies failing the American people. The Biden administration's policies are working as expected by the administration.
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...
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...
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...
