We’re all aware of the humanitarian and national security crisis at the southern border. It’s a crisis created entirely by Joe Biden and his lackeys. They have implemented an open border policy that is literally surrendering the sovereignty of our border.

But it’s even worse than that. Many leftists said last year that they wanted to defund the police. Well, long before that, they were demanding that we defund our immigration enforcement agencies.

Joe Biden may have rejected the radical “defund” rhetoric, but his policies are literally destroying the men and women who guard us. For starters, he made Kamala Harris his “border czar,” even though she compared ICE agents to the KKK.

Biden has totally demoralized our Border Patrol. He prohibits them from enforcing our immigration laws. They’ve been turned into baby sitters and social workers.

When a few brave guards on horseback tried to stop the constant tidal wave of illegal immigration, they were put on desk duty and publicly threatened by Biden. He was angrier at them than he was at the Taliban!

Now Border Patrol agents are being ordered to get vaccinated or be fired. Many agents have already had COVID that they caught from infected migrants. Many agents are threatening to quit, and that’s just fine with Biden.

Already, the Border Patrol can’t fill hundreds of vacancies. No one wants those jobs because of how poorly these heroes are being treated. So, every day there are fewer guards to stop the onslaught of illegal immigration, drug smuggling and human traffickers.

So, don’t miss the big picture. It’s not just that Joe Biden opened the borders — he’s destroying our border security!

His administration has declared war on the brave men and women who guard our borders. Biden wants them gone so he can finish the job of remaking the population of the United States.

Biden Goes Marxist

It’s time to put the final nail in the coffin of Joe Biden’s “moderate” image. He’s just nominated Saule Omarova to be Comptroller of the Currency — a critical position that oversees the regulation of America’s banks.

What’s wrong with Ms. Omarova? Well, she’s a Marxist. A full-blown, unapologetic Marxist. As the Wall Street Journal put it, her “radical ideas might make even Bernie Sanders blush.”

Omarova attended college on a Lenin Academic Scholarship at Moscow State University. That’s Moscow, Russia, not Moscow, Idaho. She has written glowingly about how the old Soviet Union set people’s salaries. She wants the Federal Reserve to nationalize all banking in the United States, creating a “People’s Ledger.”

On CNBC Thursday morning, one of the more liberal commentators said that if anyone had any doubt about who is in charge of this administration’s economic policy, it’s clearly the radical, progressive left.

Speaking of radical, Rep. John Yarmuth, chairman of the House Budget Committee, weighed in on the fight over the $3.5 trillion socialist wish list. It’s not moving right now because some Democrats think it costs too much.

But not Chairman Yarmuth. He told CNN, “It’s not a question of what we can afford. The federal government can afford anything.”

If that’s true, then why bother raising taxes? Why bother even having taxes? If the government can “afford anything,” why does it need your tax dollars?

A new drug was announced today to stop COVID, but there’s nothing to treat the outbreak of Marxism in the Democrat Party!

Biden Into The Breach

With his legislative agenda on the verge of collapse, President Biden is headed to Capitol Hill Friday afternoon in a last-ditch effort to persuade House progressives to back down and pass the $1.2 trillion “physical infrastructure” bill.

That bill has already passed the Senate and could be signed into law once it passes the House. But House progressives are holding it hostage, demanding that the Senate also approve their $3.5 trillion socialist wish list before they will do anything to improve roads and bridges.

We will keep you posted.

Bennett Warns Iran

Many of our Israeli friends were deeply shaken recently when House progressives browbeat the entire Democrat Party into cutting funds for the Iron Dome system. As we noted at the time, Iron Dome is a purely defensive weapons system that protects innocent Israelis from rockets and missiles. Just like defunding the police, defunding Iron Dome would only result in more innocent people needlessly dying.

Thankfully, the Democrat majority in the House of Representatives quickly reversed course after a tremendous backlash to this obscene betrayal of our Israeli allies.

Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of Democrats, including Joe Biden, want to rejoin the Iranian nuclear deal, which financially rewards the Iranian regime and eventually allows it to obtain nuclear weapons.

Speaking at the United Nations this week, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett issued a strong warning to Iran, and he reminded the world about the nature of the Iranian regime. Bennett said:

In 1988, Iran set up a “death commission” that ordered the mass murder of 5,000 political activists… This “death commission” was made up of four people: Ebrahim Raisi — Iran’s new president — was one of them… His nickname is “the Butcher of Tehran” … And now Raisi is Iran’s new president. This is who we’re dealing with…

Iran’s nuclear weapon program is at a critical point. All red lines have been crossed. Inspections — ignored. All wishful-thinking — proven false. Iran is violating [international] safeguard agreements… They harass inspectors and sabotage their investigations…

Iran’s nuclear program has hit a watershed moment; and so has our tolerance. Words do not stop centrifuges from spinning. There are those in the world who seem to view Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons as an inevitable reality… Israel doesn’t have that privilege… We will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.

Speaking of Iran, the ayatollah is a big fan of Kamala Harris, especially after she referred to accusations that Israel is committing “ethnic genocide” as “truth.”

The Iranian regime loved Harris’s horrible response to a terribly ignorant student so much that it is now promoting her answer on state media, broadcasting it to jihadists all over the world.

This isn’t the first time that Iranian state media has loved something Harris said. They also promoted her outrageous smear of our brave Border Patrol agents, whom she accused of whipping Haitian migrants.

It is unconscionable that Harris is providing our enemies with propaganda to attack Israel and the United States! Or maybe Iran provides her with talking points. Who knows?!

It’s very revealing that Democrat talking points are indistinguishable from enemy propaganda.

Good News

  • Texas border cities and counties are suing the Biden Administration for the damage caused by his open borders policies.

  • Florida is suing the Biden Administration to end “catch and release” policies that are allowing criminal illegal aliens to go free in violation of federal law, threatening the safety of Florida’s residents.

  • Nebraska State Treasurer John Murante is refusing to enforce Biden’s new rules that would require banks to report all transactions of $600 or more to the IRS. The regulation is funded with $79 billion in the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, dramatically expanding the size and scope of the IRS.

  • The Republican National Committee is suing to block legislation in Vermont that allows noncitizens to vote in local elections.

  • RNC officials are vowing to be far more aggressive with poll watching efforts and lawsuits to counter voter fraud and to ensure election integrity in 2022 and beyond.

  • Special Counsel John Durham issued more subpoenas to Hillary Clinton’s campaign law firm. It seems the Russia hoax investigation isn’t wrapping up anytime soon. Justice may still be possible.
