Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley Expose the Biden Team in Brilliant Grilling of Mayorkas

 RedState

“ 'You’ve simply lost all credibility, Mr. Secretary,” Cornyn said. Amen, he needs to go."

"Department of Homeland Security head Alejandro Mayorkas testified, on Tuesday, before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding how the Biden administration has been dealing with the border crisis. I think it’s fair to say that it did not go well.

"He testified a couple of weeks ago before the House and he got caught in a lie there. It didn’t go any better before the Senate.

"Mayorkas was ripped apart by the committee which, at this point, has rightfully lost patience with the Biden team’s inability and lack of desire to do anything to deal with the crisis at the border.

"Indeed, as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) exposed, Mayorkas’ head is so buried in the sand, he refuses to even acknowledge that the border crisis is a “crisis.” Listen as Cruz questions him and he won’t even acknowledge what we all know to be true, with a record number of illegal aliens flooding across the border.". . .

"Cruz, in disbelief, then said how that showed that Mayorkas was incompetent for not knowing that the wristbands indicate how much the illegal aliens owe the cartels and there are thousands of them littered along the border. He pointed out how the Biden policies have helped turned the cartels into multi-billionaire organizations when each illegal alien has to pay thousands to get across.

“ 'These are modern-day leg irons!” Cruz thundered. “There are children being sold into sex slavery, and you don’t even know what they are! That is astonishing.” Cruz said children were being sold into slavery, being raped with these actions by the cartels, and that if Mayorkas had “any integrity” he “would resign.” He decimated Mayorkas, saying the officers of the border patrol despised him because he would allow children to be raped, “to follow political orders.' ”. . .

 Biden’s embarrassing behaviour is now ‘sickening and infuriating’

After the video, scroll down through the comments to see a cross-section of opinions.

"While his behavior is autocratic and lacks sensitivity, his lies, misinformation and total falsehoods are repulsive."

"Sky News Contributor Kristin Tate expresses frustration and disappointment with the President's insensitive remarks, stating, "this man does not know how to conduct himself as President of the United States." "It was embarrassing for a long time, and now it's just sickening and infuriating," she told Sky News host Chris Kenny."

Joltin’ Joe should leave and go away | Power Line . . ."President Biden turned up in the briefing room with a few remarks about the devastating mass murder in Nashville yesterday. The White House has posted the transcript of Biden’s remarks here.

"Biden added remarks on the Nashville tragedy to his prepared text, but he found it an appropriate moment to perform his usual shtick. There was never anything remotely good about this shtick, but under the circumstances it was indecent.". . .

"His heart was broken despite the chocolate chip ice cream and the prefatory yuk-yuks.

"The facts are still coming to light (as Biden acknowledged in passing) and the victims have yet to be buried, yet Biden sought to exploit the tragedy for his own political purposes. He seems to have omitted any concern about the mental health issues troubling “trans” people such as the perpetrator was, according to Nashville Police Chief John Drake. It was time for the “gun violence” routine:. . ."

American Left Grew More Violent While FBI Was Hunting Soccer Moms

  PJ Media   . . ."Ever since Joe Biden and his handlers decided to turn the Federal Bureau of Investigation into the American Stasi, we’ve been hearing that the real threat to America is coming from “right-wing radicals” or some such nonsense. The FBI has been targeting soccer moms at school board meetings and pro-lifers who pray outside of abortion clinics.

"You know, the scariest people among us.

"Every time I write about the rogue FBI and its goon-squad priorities, I conclude by worrying about what the Bureau might be missing in the way of people who might actually commit violence. Thus far in the Biden era, it’s been a fairly steady stream of leftists who are snapping and killing.

Keep seeing this

"The parents at school board meetings have yet to amass a body count.

"The tragedy in Nashville this week has shed even more light on the continued violent radicalization of the American left. Matt reports that, prior to the shooting at The Covenant School, a trans activist group coordinated something that seems like it might be worth some investigation by law enforcement:

The primary Day of Vengeance event is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday at the Supreme Court in D.C., with additional events planned for March 31. LGBTQ activists specifically targeted Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was previously the target of an assassination attempt by a far-left activist last year.

The group purports to seek revenge for what they term “trans genocide,” a conspiracy theory that claims that transgender people are systemically targeted with violence. However, an examination of FBI statistics by the Daily Wire shows no proof to corroborate this claim. In 2021, only two of the 271 recorded hate crimes against transgender individuals resulted in murder. These figures are substantially lower than those of other groups and insufficient to substantiate allegations of “trans genocide.”

Somehow, that’s not encouraging.

. . ."Biden’s presidency has ushered in an era of American weakness Beijing seeks to exploit. His administration threw the U.S.’ longstanding record as a buffer against the CCP’s global ambitions into the garbage. Rather than pursue policies strengthening America’s economic security and military readiness, Biden and his administration have implemented measures achieving the exact opposite.

"On the economic front, Biden’s monetary policy — which includes spending trillions of taxpayer dollars on useless Democrat pet projects — resulted in decades-high inflation, causing everyday Americans to struggle to afford basic necessities such as gas and groceries. Rather than curb federal spending or increase domestic energy production, the Biden administration spends its time championing expensive electric vehicles made with Chinese batteries.

"The situation isn’t any better on the national security front, either. Up until January, the administration depleted U.S. military ranks by removing servicemembers who didn’t receive the experimental Covid jab. Despite the shot’s inability to stop viral transmission and its significant risks, the Defense Department denied the vast majority of religious and medical exemptions filed by un-jabbed soldiers. Combined with forcing servicemembers to undergo racist DEI training, it’s no surprise the military is facing major recruiting problems."

Incredible Body-Cam Footage of Nashville Shooting Destroys the Uvalde PD and Its Left-Wing Apologists –

Any group of well-trained officers is going to have a very good shot at taking down an active school shooter if they do one important thing: Try. 

Hero Nashville cop who took down transgender school shooter is
 Marine Corps vet | Daily Mail Online

I thought Democrats had defunded these police. TD

 RedState "Within minutes, they had located the shooter, with one officer taking down the self-identified “transgender man” with a precision that only comes from actual training and the courage to use it. Another officer finished the ordeal after the shooter again tried to go for her gun.

"The footage is incredible but also somewhat graphic so discretion is advised.

"But while the sequence is harrowing, what stuck out the most about the video was the contrast it drew with what happened in the now-infamous school shooting in Uvalde. For months, the left-wing media have been running an apology campaign for the Texas town’s police department, claiming that the presence of a semi-automatic rifle made it essentially impossible for the hundreds of present officers to take down the shooter. As the story goes, the gun was so incredibly overpowering that the police shouldn’t have even been expected to try.

"To illustrate that, a reporter for the Texas Tribune recently published a lengthy excusing of the Uvalde PD, claiming that the AR-15 the shooter had was simply far too dangerous for officers to confront.". . .

"Do you know what I noticed about the body-cam footage from the Nashville shooting? I noticed that none of them had ballistic shields, something that Uvalde PD officers claimed they needed. In fact, only one of them had a helmet. Some only had pistols. Yet, they rushed in to do their duty.". . .

Biden Has 'Hot Mic' Reveal Instructions, Gets Loose From Handlers, Makes Bizarre Gun Comments

Biden also tried to talk about the law, and argue that the Second Amendment wasn’t absolute. Yet, everything he said in this clip is wrong. So not only doesn’t he know anything about guns, but he doesn’t know anything about the law either.

 RedState   There was more sign on Tuesday that Joe Biden is deteriorating rapidly and needs guidance for every little movement.

I’ve written before about how he can’t even deliver the simplest remarks without notes. So when he was meeting in Canada with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trudeau was greeting him and making perfunctory remarks, Joe was desperately searching for his notes to know what to say because there was no teleprompter. But he also needs guidance for every little step. I’ve written before about how they appeared to be having him stand on marks to know where to stand (and not just wander off).

But on Tuesday, they got caught on a hot mic as Biden was visiting a semiconductor plant in Durham, North Carolina. You could hear a guide telling Biden how to move every step, including going “down the ramp” in front of him. The handler tells Biden who is there, “union leaders and workers,” and that his mark is going to be a blue mark to stand on."

Federal Judge Kyle Duncan Says His Piece

 - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 

Let’s say the quiet part out loud: The mob came to target me because they hate my work and my ideas …. None of this spectacle, this obviously staged public shaming, had the slightest thing to do with free speech. It had everything to do with intimidation. And, to be clear, not intimidation of me …. The targets of the intimidation were the protesters’ fellow students.  

"The culture war is usually a cold one. Conservatives and liberals have been facing off on social issues for generations, fighting proxy wars in the courts or newspapers. And as secular progressivism becomes increasingly dogmatic — you’re a bigot, a racist, and a threat to democracy if you so much as question the premises of their ideology — it seems that our culture war is careening toward a mutually assured destruction, sans the atomic bomb. 

"But the Left has found a weapon that the Right fears to wield: the suppression of speech. It might not be a nuclear warhead, but whether used by the Global Disinformation Index or local troublemakers wearing black masks, suppression of speech helps the Left and hurts the Right. 

"This suppression is especially dangerous in the age of the internet, when everything can be controlled by a search algorithm or blacklisted behind the scenes. But, luckily for us, neophyte progressives can be clumsy in their fledgling attempts to prove themselves to be true believers. 

" 'Take, for example, the recent events at Stanford Law School. Student protesters and a DEI dean prevented Judge Kyle Duncan of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals from delivering his invited lecture for the law school’s chapter of the Federalist Society. The events at Stanford Law School sparked a national conversation on free speech, stirring up commentary and launching op-eds — including one by the judge himself.

"This intimidation is a rather classic tactic for campus culture wars. By isolating an ideological opponent, the Stanford protestors sought to humiliate Duncan for “refus[ing] to enlist the federal judiciary in the project of controlling what pronouns people use.” But they moreover wanted to show their fellow classmates just how unwelcome their conservative beliefs are. If your fellow classmates are willing to shout down a federal judge, just imagine what they’ll do to you.

"But, as Duncan discussed in his lecture, such behavior is unbefitting of a lawyer or a lawyer-to-be. Our legal system operates almost entirely on the basis of sustained, reasoned argument, and, as Duncan said, “To be a lawyer, by definition, means that you have to occupy the same room with people that you seriously disagree with.” America might be a litigious society, but we seem to have forgotten that key element of the legal system.". . .

"According to the outlet, the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) has scheduled the online seminar, titled "Holding the Weight on Whiteness," for Monday, March 27, for 4-6 pm. The event's landing page says the course "is about cultural humility and inclusion," and "will allow us to discuss how whiteness relates to privilege and identity, and how both become normalized and invisible.". . .

"Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how to center ourselves as a form of resistance against the harmful effects of whiteness in our lives, the organizations we work for or direct and the communities in which we serve," the union added, before advertising that "UFT members who are licensed mental health professionals" may earn two credentialed hours for completing it the seminar, which could lead to higher-paying positions.

Joe Biden Becomes an Interior Designer -

 The American Spectator

I don’t know about you, but I liked it better when appliances were dumb and politicians were smart.

EARL OF TAINT

"Two things traditionally drive Democratic presidents crazy: interventionism and female interns. Like the entire postmodern left, Biden deeply hates freedom, almost as much as he gets off on sticking his nose into other people’s pockets, lives, and homes. For him it is no longer a habit, but an addiction. He started with the gas stove, and now he has decided to stick his nose into the running of the whole house. Yesterday he was president, today he is more of an interior designer.

"The president also wants to change regulations for light bulbs, gas furnaces, room air conditioners, portable air cleaners, and clothes dryers. All this is part of his more than 110 energy efficiency actions and he assures that this will save citizens a lot of money over the next thirty to forty years. Which means, translated into street talk, that you will be paying for his joke for thirty to forty years and that when you are old, burning up or freezing at home, broke and deeply pissed off, and you go to Biden to ask for an explanation, he is unlikely to receive you, unless the president implements a personal efficiency plan that will allow him to reach 120 years of age.

"It is amazing that the Democrats are unable to understand that the only advantage the United States still had over Europe was a reverential respect for freedom, both economic and personal. With the government bailing out banks, raising taxes, and Democrat states banning gasoline-powered vehicles, all we need now is for Biden to choose for you what appliances you can buy.". . .

What the media doesn't say about a mass murderer

Don Surber

That a tranny attacked a Christian grade school is not lost on normal people, but the people who write the news are not normal.

"The media is really big on promoting the First Openly Transgender (fill in the blank). Richard “Rachel” Levine becoming an admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps was big news. That he’s a doctor who doesn’t know biology flummoxes me, but I roll against the tide, don’t I?

"But the media is trying hard not to acknowledge Monday’s historic First Openly Transgender (female to male) mass school shooter. You’ve heard of the glass ceiling; she shattered the glass basement.

"Heavy reported that Audrey Elizabeth Hale, 28, a woman who pretended she was a man named Aiden, shot and killed three 9-year-olds and three staff members at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. Police shot and killed her. It was a suicide by cop.

"Hale was a pretty girl until she messed with this tranny stuff. But she did and now seven people are dead, including her.". . .

Instead of calling tranny males he, we must call them she or they or ze. We must accept without question that a man is entitled to play women’s sports.

. . ."Meanwhile, Biden continues to push for banning guns. He took the massacre so [seriously] that he began his remarks, “I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream.”  Most media outlets left that part out. Not Politico."

 Media Apologize for Rightly Identifying Transgender Shooter as A Woman (breitbart.com)  "Following the revelation that Audrey was a woman who identified as a man, both USA Today and The New York Times were quick to issue statements on Twitter, seemingly apologizing for adhering to biological reality by correctly calling Hale a woman. The publications also appeared to scrub references to Hale as a female from online news articles."

Another Train Carrying Hazardous Materials Derails

 Yet liberals (Democrats) have decreed there will be NO pipelines. Word for today:  Eco-Harpies?

PJ Media  

"Move over “died suddenly,” because “train carrying hazardous materials derails” is quickly becoming the most common story to pop up in our news feeds.

"As per local reports, a train belonging to Canadian Pacific, consisting of 70 cars transporting hazardous materials, derailed late Sunday night in North Dakota, approximately one mile southeast of Wyndmere in Richland County at around 11:15 p.m.  According to the report, 31 of the 70 cars derailed, and some were found to be leaking petroleum used in the production of asphalt. No injuries have been reported.

"Officials said crews will wait for the cold weather to solidify the leaked material, which is expected to transform into a gel.

As worries about railroad safety persist in the United States, the recent incident in North Dakota is the latest in a string of train derailments.

"In February, a significant event occurred in East Palestine, Ohio, where around 50 cars derailed, resulting in the spillage of hazardous materials and the evacuation of residents. The Biden administration was widely criticized for its feeble response to the disaster. Similarly, a few weeks later, a train carrying hazardous materials derailed in Gothenburg, Neb.

"There are suggestions that these recent train derailments are happening more frequently than usual, but it’s possible that the heightened attention is due to the East Palestine disaster. Similarly, concerns were raised last year about the frequency of fires occurring at food processing plants, which added to the supply chain crisis that was already problematic.". . .
