Why didn't Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas take homeland security seriously?

When Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached last year, people knew that there'd be a steeper price to pay for his policies and his pigheadedness. According to this WSJ article, "42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar" crashed his truck "into a crane after it sped along Bourbon Street" in New Orleans, he did so "with deadly intent." What's worse is that, according to the Journal, Jabbar didn't act alone.

According to the WSJ, "officials say they are investigating the rampage as an act of terrorism." Further, "emerging evidence suggests the killer may have been a jihadist radical who had accomplices." Yesterday should've been a day of total lockdowns in New Orleans. Tuesday night was New Year's Eve in one of the most famous gathering places to celebrate the new year. Further, the Sugar Bowl college football playoff game was scheduled for Wednesday evening. Thanks to the alleged terrorist attack, that game has been postponed until Thursday afternoon.

All major sporting events receive major attention from the Department of Homeland Security. The Sugar Bowl should've qualified for that type of security.

This was the steeper price for Secretary Mayorkas' incompetence and corruption. Rather than trying and convicting Mayorkas on his articles of impeachment, Sen. Chuck Schumer dismissed the case without hearing testimony against Secretary Mayorkas. Thanks to Sen. Schumer's actions, Mayorkas was still on the job when the terrorists hit New Orleans:

It's a good thing that the alleged Vegas terrorist picked the vehicle he did:
More ominously, the FBI said it believes Jabbar didn’t act alone. Conflicting reports said four others may have been observed on video planting IEDs elsewhere in the city.

"We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible," FBI assistant special agent in charge Alethea Duncan said. "The FBI is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations."

If there's a lower grade than F-, that's what Mayorkas deserves. Ditto with Joe Biden.

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...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...
