Cleanup on Aisle 46: Joe Biden makes a mess of his 60 Minutes interview

  Monica Showalter; American Thinker  . . ."That's quite a string of errors and messes for just one interview.  Based on this interview, it's pretty obvious to the public why he doesn't give many interviews.

"But it's also pretty indicative of how inchoate and foolish Biden really is.  How is it that Biden can score an interview with the softest of the softball players at 60 Minutes, with the fawningest of the fawning interviewers, and still blow it?

"It's not just a bad night for Joe; it's the entire pattern of the administration.  Don't forget that when Kamala Harris sat down to give an interview to NBC's Lester Holt about her handing of the border crisis as its czar, Harris made one blunder after another to her fawning interviewer.

"If this is how badly they do with fawners and flatterers and lickspittles, all of whom will do anything to make them look good, how would these people handle a real interviewer with real questions, of the kind the public is answering?  They can't even handle the fawners without making messes for themselves and their administration.  Imagine them in a room with real journalists.

"It goes to show that the Biden administration really has no business being in office or power, simply on competence grounds alone."

The Border is Secure Says Kamala Harris

 The Border is Secure Says Kamala Harris - The Lid (lidblog.com)   "The entire leadership of our nation is delusional, not to mention malevolent. Their agenda for open borders is obvious.VP Kamala Harris claims that the border is secure, as does the White House Press Secretary. So let’s go through a few things that should remind everyone that they are full of donkey poop.  "The “Border is secure.”

"People who live in border towns are afraid. Illegal Aliens tromping through their properties are killing dogs, stealing things, and even assaulting people. The property owners are arming themselves. The migrants leave piles of trash behind as well. It is not safe either for ranchers or residents."


"The White House blasted Red State governors Thursday for busing illegal aliens to New York and Chicago. Sending the busload of aliens to Martha's Vineyard Tuesday was hilarious. Reacting quickly to the crisis this week, Kamala Harris flew to Buffalo to check out the situation at the border for herself."  Argus Hamilton

"Charity begins at home is a universal axiom that wealthy Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, residents apparently do not subscribe to.

"Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) sent two planes with 50 illegal aliens to the exclusive island community Wednesday, which stunned island residents. Within days, almost all of the newly arrived border jumpers had been bussed to a Cape Cod military base.

“States like Massachusetts, New York and California will better facilitate the care of these individuals who they have invited into our country by incentivizing illegal immigration through their designation as ‘sanctuary states’ and support for the Biden administration’s open border policies,” DeSantis spokeswoman Taryn Fenske said.

"President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama won commanding majorities of island voters in their respective presidential campaigns.

"Yet, when the 50 illegal aliens landed at Martha’s Vineyard, a community tourism Twitter account called their arrival a “humanitarian crisis.”. . .

Martha’s Vineyard Liberals Scream 'Not in my Backyard!' - American Thinker

  Imagine if Gov. DeSantis sent a few busloads of illegal immigrants to Hyannisport and dropped them off in front of the Kennedy and Koch estates. Sen. Kennedy pushed through the 1965 Immigration Reform Act and subsequent legislation which gave us chain migration, refugee programs, blanket amnesty, an immigration lottery, and H-1B visas. But he didn’t want these immigrants anywhere near him. Just like with unsightly windmills, Sen. Kennedy would have not allowed unsightly illegal immigrants to camp out in front of his gated estate. He would smugly tell America, “walls for me, but not for thee.”

7 Times The Babylon Bee Predicted News before It Happened

 7 Times The Babylon Bee Predicted News before It Happened | Neon Nettle

"The conservative satirical news site has become a target of Big Tech and liberal media for mocking the Left.

"Earlier this year, left-wing outlet USA Today named Rachel Levine, the biological male head of Joe Biden's U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, one of its "Women of the Year."

"By signaling such "woke" virtue, the outlet was praised by the Left and celebrated on social media platforms.

"However, The Babylon Bee was suspended by Twitter for bestowing a similar award on Levine: Man of the Year.". . .

Sanctuaries get what they asked for

 I Have A Few Questions About The Martha's Vineyard Migrant Kerfuffle - The Federalist  Then again, why has a story about 50 migrants spending a couple of days on Martha’s Vineyard garnered far more coverage and outrage from the media and left punditry than 51 migrants being cooked alive in a tractor-trailer only last month?

In this case, as in others, they are decrying the inevitable results of their own policies and blaming everything on Republicans.

"He told me there would be jobs and housing up here, but instead I found a den swarming with uppity white liberals and wealthy career criminals. This is so inhumane."

 Joe Scarborough tore into Florida Governor Ron Desantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott over stunts in which they dropped desperate migrants in Martha’s Vineyard and outside Vice President Kamala Harris‘s residence, respectively. He called the stunts “grotesque” and “political human trafficking.”

Planeloads of migrants were shown arriving in Massachusetts Wednesday in a video provided to Fox News, and the Abbott buses were captured Thursday morning by Fox News cameras outside the official VP’s residence at the Naval Observatory — just the latest in a series of stunts in which Republican governors relocate asylum-seekers to make a political point.

"Klain’s real message: Don’t worry, we staff will make sure Biden does what we say.

"But that’s just one example!

"The next two years is going to be a wild ride, as Joe Biden isn’t calling the shots, believe me on this. He’s got the title of president of the United States but none of the authority because the government is being run by Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain & Company under the absolute control and direction of Sen. Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib.

"The left knew when they chose Biden to be the Democratic presidential nominee that he didn’t have the stamina or cognitive abilities to handle the job of president. That’s why the left chose him, they needed a person, just a warm body, living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who would just do as he’s told and not ask questions.

"However, after a recent investigation, we actually found who is running our country.

"It seems that Obama’s third term is not just a wish for the former POTUS.

"There are actually three women inside Joe’s admin who are working together to operate this show for Obama, and we identify who they are.". . .
