Why are there no fat illegal immigrants? Everyone at the border looks like a marathon runner. I guess its all the exercise from all that walking.
Someone told me that one of the illegals said that he wanted to come to America because it was the only place in the world with fat poor people.
The 24/7 “news” channels often interview their own on-camera personalities. They also spend time talking about what the personalities on their competitors say. Why Fox News thinks what is said on CNN and MSNBC is news is beyond me. Of course, the folks on those networks bash what the Fox News people say too. They probably have an agreement amongst themselves to fill empty space with the empty noises coming from the other side.
Who dictated that we must all now call illegal aliens “migrants”.
A Fox News article about some leftist whose personal pronouns are (they/them) actually referred to that single delusionary individual as “they”. Give me a break.
Why did we need a new border bill? What is wrong with just enforcing the laws on the books?
The Republican effort to impeach Mayorkas as a joke and doomed from the start. Even if the vote were successful in the House, the Senate would have failed to convict. The House Republicans knew this but went ahead anyway. Those criticizing the four Republican members who did not go along with the charade apparently want show over substance. Mayorkas is simply doing the bidding of his boss, Joe Biden. If the House wants to impeach anyone over the border it must be Biden.
The Wall Street Journal was for the border bill claiming that it had provisions that the Republicans wanted but could never get before. The Journal liked the expedited asylum proposal and the tightening of rules for claiming parole. It curiously also like the part that would temporarily close the border if more than 5,000 illegals showed up in a day. The National Review opposed the bill as did Donald Trump who as is his wont is criticizing the Republican on the bill James Langford of Oklahoma who has otherwise impeccable conservative credentials. Most likely, Langford got what he could get in the bill. Still the progressives and open border crowd on the left also opposed the bill.
Biden started catch and release, stopped the wall and stopped the remain in Mexico policy. He opened the flood gates and the illegals have been pouring in. Some estimate as many as 5 million on his watch and continuing. If this isn’t an impeachable offence then nothing is.
Biden like Obama before him practices appeasement with Iran somehow thinking that doing so will make them less belligerent. Not likely. Iran wants to erase Israel from the map. The United States remains the great satan. Iran with it dozens of proxies will continue to harass Israel and the US troops in the region and Biden is helping to finance it. Knowing that Israel is not going to be erased Iran is hoping to isolate it by intimidating all its neighbors, especially Egypt, Jordan and the Saudis.
Biden is now seeking to play both ends by giving military aid to Israel with no strings attached plus advocating a two state solution to placate his pro-Hamas left. Only neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis want a two state solution. Both the Palestinians and the Zionists want the other eradicated. The more moderate Israelis want peace, likely with the Palestinians still in Gaza but with a DMZ separating them from Israel. But in any event the Israelis will be fools to have Gaza again run by the militants. Their only choice will be to govern Gaza. But that would present a great opportunity to turn it into a thriving, prosperous area. Singapore anyone?
