Karine Jean-Pierre's border security expertise exposed

While on the way to a fundraising event in Queens, NY, Karine Jean-Pierre held a press gaggle aboard Air Force One. During the gaggle, KJP confirmed that Joe Biden would travel to Brownsville, TX, to meet with "U.S. Border Patrol agents, law enforcement, and local leaders. He will discuss the urgent need to pass the Senate bipartisan border security agreement, the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border in decades."

I've read that bill, which was negotiated behind closed doors. The only thing accurate in that description is that it's a Senate bill and that it's a bipartisan bill. The Border Patrol Council endorsed it with one of the most tepid endorsements in the history of endorsement letters. The Border Patrol Council didn't issue a statement that said the Senate bill fixed the biggest issues facing Border Patrol agents. The statement said that it was an improvement upon the current situation.

If that statement was any more tepid, you'd have to check it for a pulse. According to the transcript, KJP said this:

President Biden will travel to Brownsville, Texas, to meet with U.S. Border Patrol agents, law enforcement, and local leaders. He will discuss the urgent need to pass the Senate bipartisan border security agreement, the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border in decades.

He will reiterate his calls for congressional Republicans to stop playing politics and to provide the funding needed for additional U.S. Border Patrol agents, more asylum officers, fentanyl detection technology, and more.

As I said earlier, the Senate bill is mostly trash. It has some worthwhile provisions in it. It has lots of loopholes in it that, in my opinion, are a significant step back. It has enough poison pills in it to kill a herd of horses.

KJP constantly insists that the Biden administration inherited a mess. Bill Melugin has the perfect reply:

KJP is alsoan expert at saying that the border is closed:

Biden should be able to stop it without Republicans' help since Biden caused the problem without Republicans' help. Then there's this oldie-but-goodie:

Let's be clear about something

KJP is a mouthpiece. She isn't an expert. How many times has she visited the U.S.-Mexico Border? How many Border Patrol Agents has she asked advice of to secure the border? When's the last time KJP asked Border Patrol or ICE agents if the Biden administration's policies are working? I suspect the answer to these questions is zero.

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...
