Martha's Meltdown Model

  RealClearPolitics  . . ."Most, like Washington, D.C., and New York, were on record as sanctuary city jurisdictions. In the abstract, they endorse open borders and celebrate diversity -- from the serenity of thousands of miles away.

"The uproar at Martha's Vineyard prompted the Democratic hierarchy to do some explaining. Why had it not earlier objected to the federal government night flights of tens of thousands of border-crossers to red-state communities that had opposed illegal immigration?

"And why be angry with governors who were only emulating that policy by flying in a mere 50 newcomers -- in the light of day -- to a far wealthier and liberal-minded sanctuary resort?

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gave the nearly all-white, rich vacation spot an opportunity to match noble words with even nobler deeds. But in response, the 1 percent screamed that their small community could not possibly cope with a mere 50 new arrivals.

"So far, wealthy progressive enclaves in Malibu, Aspen, and Napa have not stepped up to alleviate the "burden" put on their Martha's Vineyard brethren.

"They should ask how does a poor Yuma or El Paso sustain hundreds of thousands crossing illegally into their communities -- once Joe Biden effectively rendered federal immigration law null and void?". . .

Illegal Aliens, Deported from Martha’s Vineyard, Want to Return to ‘Beautiful’ Island –

 IOTW Report  "Illegal aliens who were deported off Martha’s Vineyard less than 48 hours after their arrival now say they would like to return to the “beautiful” elite island home of the wealthy’s summer estates.

"Late last week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sent two flights packed with 50 illegal aliens from Venezuela to Martha’s Vineyard, where former President Obama has a sprawling 29-acre summer estate.

"Less than 48 hours after their arrival, officials on Martha’s Vineyard declared a “humanitarian crisis” and claimed they have a “housing crisis” that prevents them from being able to absorb border crossers and illegal aliens, even as the island could shelter six million refugees.

"As a result, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) intervened to bus the illegal aliens off Martha’s Vineyard to Joint Base Cape Cod. Some of the illegal aliens are now suing DeSantis, claiming he violated their Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

"Although left-wing attorneys have claimed that the illegal aliens are “very traumatized” by their arrival on Martha’s Vineyard, some of the illegal aliens have told Catholic Charities that they would love to return to the elite island because of “how beautiful” it is: more here". . .

Are Dems Finally Remembering They Never Liked Kamala Harris? –

  PJ Media  . . ."This is a good time to remember that Her Most Uncomfortable Cackleness isn’t really popular among the people in her own party. She was drummed out of the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination when it was still 2019. When Biden promised to pick a Black woman as his running mate, Harris was thrown into a very small employment pool. As with much of her rise in California, she got lucky.

"Stacey wrote something yesterday that was both amusing and telling about just how much Kamala Harris is on the minds of some Democrats. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar gushed that her dream ticket for 2024 might just be Gavin Newsom and Stacey Abrams.

"Oops.

"OK, I know that Joy Behar couldn’t win a battle of wits with a dead goldfish, but it’s still pretty stunning that any of the Democrat pander harridans on The View would blank out on the HISTORIC FIRST Veep that we have when discussing scenarios where Biden might not run in 2024.

"By the way, Stacey Abrams was in that very small employment pool I mentioned above and she lost out to Harris. That makes Behar’s comments even more embarrassing for whatever Harris supporters may be left in America.

"It’s not surprising that Harris hasn’t done anything memorable as Joe Biden’s second in command. Democrats don’t have to be talented to go far in California politics, they simply have to be connected. Here is Stacey’s always unique take on part of the reason for Harris’s success:. . ."

     . . .Note to Gov. DeSantis: Keep the flights going. Never stop. And in about three years, remember the words “immigration fraud” and “repatriation.”. . .

    

"It’s been awe-inspiring to see the bottomless generosity of Martha’s Vineyard residents after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent them 50 illegal immigrants from Venezuela last week.

      "Unlike angry, white MAGA voters upset about their towns being flooded with illegals, Vineyard residents would LOVE to be sort of a — what’s the word? — “sanctuary” for illegals. Really, they would. But that won’t be possible.

     "As Lisa Belcastro, manager of the Vineyard’s homeless shelter, succinctly put it: “We are definitely supplying them with a lot of love … They need to be off island.” The illegals “need” to hustle off because “Their immigration appointments are not here.” (Are their appointments in the Trump-supporting working-class town they were bussed to?)

   "GREAT NEWS, LISA! Nearly half of released illegals don’t appear for their hearings anyway. And guess what? There are absolutely no consequences. (A dozen anti-American websites claim that vast, gigantic numbers of illegals show up for their hearings, but they’re counting illegals who are being held in detention.)

     "On NPR, Vineyard radio host Eve Zuckoff also began with a testimonial about how “the community rallied”! But unfortunately, “there isn’t the infrastructure.” What do these great humanitarians imagine dirt-poor towns in south Texas have in terms of “infrastructure”?

     "Every single objection Vineyard residents have raised against the illegals being allowed to stay is precisely what ordinary Americans — not privileged enough to live in Martha’s Vineyard — have been screaming from the rooftops for 30 years. Those 50 illegals represent less than a millionth of the “enrichment” that’s already been foisted on the rest of America. (They’re 1/100,000th of the illegals admitted just under Biden.”)". . .

Biden Shames America and Insults the Crown With His Behavior at the Queen's Funeral

 Biden Shames America and Insults the Crown With His Behavior at the Queen's Funeral (townhall.com)  . . ."And as we then saw during the lengthy proceedings of the burial ceremony, Trump could hardly have been more embarrassing than President Biden on this solemn day. The first issue was that Biden felt the need to buck the Royal directives regarding the ceremony. Almost all of the world leaders and foreign dignitaries in attendance followed the delivered protocols and rode to the church in the assigned motor coaches set up for their arrival. 

"This was not a debasement of authority. Leaders of foreign lands and royalty were carried in on the buses, including Prime Ministers and Kings. Biden, however, filed for and received a dispensation.

" He was later granted permission to arrive in his presidential limousine and motorcade; the reason for this was not given, but the appearance was notably gauche and crass in contrast. 

"Then Biden managed to pull off his usual crudeness and arrived at the chapel 30 minutes late. This has become a trademark of this president. Whether it be a planned event, social appearance, or scheduled press conference, Biden is consistently extremely late for proscribed start times. 

"He even was notably tardy at a global conference and was chastised over this by the very unrefined Boris Johnson, of all people.

" For Biden to do this at a Royal funeral ceremony is beyond embarrassing on an international scale; boorish behavior on the world stage. 

"When it came time to sign the official condolence guest book, again, Biden managed to turn heads – in the same manner as a dog twitching its head when presented with something unforeseen. As he sat to fill in his solemn respects, he did so while working off one of his now infamous note sheets. He could not somehow deliver genuine feelings – he had to work off a prepared statement.". . .

DeSantis Isn’t Sweating The Migrant Class Action Lawsuit. Here’s Why

. . ."But DeSantis clearly anticipated the radical, hypocritical left’s response, and he revealed on Tuesday that the migrants signed consent forms.

“ 'It is opportunistic that activists would use illegal immigrants for political theater. If these activists spent even a fraction of this time and effort at the border, perhaps some accountability would be brought to the Biden Administration’s reckless border policies that entice illegal immigrants to make dangerous and often lethal journeys through Central America and put their lives in the hands of cartels and Coyotes,” DeSantis’ office said in a statement. “The transportation of the immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard was done on a voluntary basis. The immigrants were homeless, hungry, and abandoned – and these activists didn’t care about them then.”

“ 'Florida’s program gave them a fresh start in a sanctuary state and these individuals opted to take advantage of chartered flights to Massachusetts,” the statement continued. “It was disappointing that Martha’s Vineyard called in the Massachusetts National Guard to bus them away from the island within 48 hours.' ”. . .

White House becomes 'irritated' with Fox News border reporter Bill Melugin

What's more, there are signs of a coordinated campaign. All of a sudden, Media Matters, a flaming lapdog of the Democrats, has turned its slime machine onto Melugin, and this came just shortly before the White House put word out about its "irritation."

Monica Showalter  . . ."There’s a tall Fox News reporter in his mid-30s with slicked back hair and an air of combative indignation who is getting under the skin of some people in JOE BIDEN’s administration. And he’s not PETER DOOCY.

"BILL MELUGIN, a former local Los Angeles Emmy-winning reporter, has become a growing presence online and in broader political circles as Fox’s go-to reporter at the U.S. southern border. He’s done hundreds of television hits since joining the network last year, largely from border states, where he often focuses on the historic flow of migrants that are overwhelming communities there.". . .

. . ."Which is kind of laughable, not on Melugin, but on Politico, which seems to think shoeleather reporting and persistence, which includes not being daunted by officials attempting to block the news, is some kind of innovation. I guess it is -- to them.

"Melugin, on the other hand, is an authentic journalist practicing the trade he purports to practice, which is a true breath of fresh air for a public weary at news media outlets serving primarily as mouthpieces for the increasingly inchoate Biden administration.

"But if Politico can be laughed at for what it considers "a new style" of journalism, the White House cannot. 

"This attack leak comes just as the border crisis is finally hitting home with the public, now that the entire country is watching, mesmerized, as Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Gov. Greg Abbott begin shipping handfuls of illegal border crossers to wealthy, white, leftist enclaves such as Martha's Vineyard, and now, Joe Biden's vacay redoubt of Rehoboth Beach, and the leftists, whose hypocrisy has been exposed by it, are screaming.

"We know they are screaming because border security has become a top election issue as midterms beckon and Congress is likely to change hands, putting a leash on Joe Biden's runaway spending and lawless open border regime. Suddenly, this issue has risen to the top of voter concerns.

"Now all of a sudden a hit piece appears in White House house organ Politico, speaking of the administration's "irritation" as if to put Melugin on notice. Obviously, they would like him to know that they are watching him.". . .

White House spurs speculation when it overrules Biden on pandemic being over: 'He is not in charge' (bizpacreview.com)   "President Joe Biden’s declaration of victory over COVID when he said that the pandemic was over triggered leftist dead-enders who bitterly cling to their masks and mandates and brought yet another correction from the White House that contradicted him while further confirming suspicions that he isn’t the one running the show.

"During a “60 Minutes” interview with CBS anchor Scott Pelley that aired on Sunday, Biden clearly stated, “the pandemic is over,” while strolling through the Detroit Auto Show where he made another pitch for the forced conversion to electric vehicles last week.

" 'We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over,” Biden added, drawing howls of protest from angry leftists on Twitter as well as the White House quickly walking back what he said.". . .
