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.

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
