Exposing the Wall Street Journal's demise

I used to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. I let my subscription expire a couple of months ago. I'm thankful I did. This editorial is an example of why I left the WSJ. The editorial opens by saying "House Republicans are marking up articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and the question is why? As much as we share the frustration with the Biden border mess, impeaching Mr. Mayorkas won’t change enforcement policy and is a bad precedent that will open the gates to more cabinet impeachments by both parties."

Apparently, the WSJ Editorial Board hasn't figured it out that there's value in using the Mayorkas impeachment and trial as a way to remind voters what Biden's policies are. When the impeachment trial starts, Washington shuts down for the trial. It's literally the only show in town in terms of politics. Picture GOP surrogates hitting social media to remind voters how Secretary Mayorkas and Joe Biden didn't just open the border but refused to obey the laws.

Remind voters that Joe Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have blood on their hands and that Democrats didn't lift a finger until property was trampled, young lives had been lost and border cities' funds had gotten depleted thanks to the overflow of illegal immigrants.

WSJ goes soft

Check this out:

A better idea is to strike a deal with Mr. Biden on serious border-security reforms that would restrict his discretion on parole, rewrite the asylum standard, and give the executive other tools to control the border. If Messrs. Mayorkas and Biden refuse to use them, the GOP will have an election issue. And the tools will be there for the next President to use.
News organizations, like detectives, are supposed to notice things. The WSJ Editorial Board apparently didn't notice that Joe Biden isn't interested in negotiating in good faith about border security. He wants the borders to stay open. He just wants to be seen as doing something. Biden's administration isn't interested in changing the status quo.

To use a phrase that the late, great Charles Krauthammer coined, the WSJ "just isn't cynical enough." Thinking that today's Democrats are interested in good governance is as foolish as thinking there's a possibility of the sun setting in the east.

Speaker Johnson Speaks Truth to Biden

It's time for the MSM to stop pretending that Biden is an honest politician. That's proof of the MSM's dishonesty. Unfortunately, the WSJ has become part of the problem.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

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
