Biden broke the border, but here's how Trump can fix it again

 Trump says that “[o]n my first day … I will terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration.” (nypost.com)

If Trump wins in November Democrats will have till Jan 20th, 2025 to wreak all the damage they can to American society and culture in order to present Republicans - President Trump - with a monumental, perhaps unreparable nation. Just look at the angry, distorted face of Joe Biden when he discusses his opponent. TD

"If anyone can seal the border, Donald Trump can. But can even he wrestle back control after President Biden’s “nation-wrecking nightmare” (Trump’s words, jarring but spot on)?

"Trump would “seek to re-establish” his “Migrant Protection Protocols,” which saw the Department of Homeland Security refuse entry to those apprehended at the southern border, and having them stay in Mexico pending their removal proceedings.

"Since 1997, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it. MPP took away aliens’ incentive to make bogus claims of fear to secure release into the U.S. DHS found it “indispensable,” resulting in “a rapid and substantial decline in apprehension[s].” Pre-COVID, MPP was truly the MVP of border security. 

"Stephen Miller, President Trump’s former immigration advisor, promises that Trump will again invoke Title 42, under which “we would send … straight back home” aliens entering illegally (Trump’s words). Since WWII, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it.

"Trump would “push to revive” his “asylum cooperative agreements,” allowing DHS to send asylum-seekers to amenable countries to seek protection. Since 1997, all Trump’s predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet (other than to a limited extent with Canada) only Trump used it.

"Trump “will revoke” the student visas of “radical anti-American and antisemitic foreigners” and institute “strong ideological screening” — “If you want to abolish … Israel…. [i]f you’re a communist … you are disqualified” (his words). If Trump has the will, federal law has the way:" . . .

How a Steam Locomotive Works (Union Pacific "Big Boy")

TRAIN EXPERT reacts & adds to the EXCELLENT Animagraffs Big Boy! - YouTube

Comments: "So what your telling me is dudes in the 1800's invented 1/2 stroke 4 cylinder engines with pistons the size of my car capable of pulling 2 mile long trains weighing thousands of tonnes. I never went through a train phase as a kid, but I'm hyped for trains now."

"It's very impressive how every part of this complex, massive machine was developed through hand calculations, trial and error, bold experimentation and also a handful of nasty accidents. The weight of the whole locomotive is huge, but it pulled trains that were many times its own weight. And once engineered and produced, it ran on just coal, water and grease. Wonderful. Top job on the animation and explanation!! A natural follow-up to the diesel-electric locomotive video, which I can also highly recommend."

Marco Rubio Goes on CNN, Dana Bash Probably Wishes He Hadn't After He Crushes Her Warped Trump Narrative

  Bob Hoge – RedState   "Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), rumored to be one of the final three candidates for Trump’s choice of running mate, appeared on CNN’s "State of the Union" Sunday and refused to accept host Dana Bash’s warped narrative of Trump’s intentions should he retake the presidency. Even as we’ve witnessed example after example of the Biden administration using the Department of Justice as a weaponized political tool, those on the left deflect and say it’s actually Trump who’s the danger here.

"What a load of you know what.

Bash tried to sell that narrative to Rubio, but he wasn’t having it.

“Senator, Donald Trump has said that he would go after Joe Biden, that he would go after members of the Biden family. That’s never something that we’ve heard— ,” Bash began.

“Donald Trump has said that his — no, he hasn’t. I watched the debate — you guys did a great job — I watched it and he was asked and he said, ‘My vengeance will be winning and restoring America, making America great again.’ He did not say, ‘I’m gonna go after them,’ and so forth and, ‘I’m gonna put them in jail,'” Rubio jumped in."

. . ." Bash plodded on:

“Not at the debate, but he has said it elsewhere. Not at the debate, you’re right. He’s said it elsewhere,” Bash corrected.

“He has repeatedly said that his revenge will be to make America great again, to undo all their bad public policies. And, by the way, he was president for four years. He didn’t go after Hillary Clinton, he didn’t go after Joe Biden, he didn’t go after Barack Obama, he didn’t go after any of their consultants. We didn’t see under him what we’re seeing now,” Rubio said.

[Shannon] Bream said they have spent "days" reaching out to "dozens of lawmakers, Biden advocates and allies," but "not a single potential guest" was willing or able to come on to defend Joe Biden's decision to stay on the ticket.

 

Michelle! The one-half

 MSNBC's Joy Reid will not be happy with this post! TD

Mike McDaniel - American Thinker

MICHELLE OBAMA sparked fury among voters after she admitted that campaigning for her husband Barack's first-term as President was "the first time in my adult life I'm proud to be an American".

"Prior to the 2020 race, I predicted Michelle Obama would be the Democrat/Socialist/Communist (D/S/C) Party nominee. I was sort of wrong. “Sort of” only if one assumed the Obamas have not been enjoying a third term and angling for a fourth. Since then, I’ve continued to keep an eye on Michelle, who, we are assured, hates politics and absolutely does not want to be president and will not run.  

"Now we are told a Reuters/Ipsos poll predicts Michelle would beat Donald Trump 50 to 39. Perhaps, to save “our democracy,” Michelle would nobly sacrifice herself to ensure a fourth Obama term?

"Why 50 to 39? Because she’s more than Kamala-sort-of-black? Because reporters have long drooled over her arms?  Because some of the messianic shine might rub off from Barack? Instead of being “the one,” she might be becoming—the title of one of her books--“the one-half?”

"But what are Michelle’s qualifications for the office, other than being the first lady to the most malignant, America and American-hating narcissist ever to occupy the Oval Office?" . . .

A viral photo identified as Biden’s speechwriting team explains so much

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

In November 1863, while traveling on a train from D.C. to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and experiencing the early stages of a mild case of smallpox, Abraham Lincoln handwrote the Gettysburg Address. Joe Biden is no Lincoln, and you can bet your bottom dollar that he’s not writing his own speeches. Instead, he has a staff that puts words into his mouth. That’s why a photo posted by the White House Director of Broadcast Media showing his communications staff goes a long way to defining the Biden White House.

I believe that Revolver News published the original viral tweet:

"That is a fascinating photo. Because it’s so crowded, I broke it down by apparent race and gender (although, nowadays, one can never tell how people “identify”):

If any were wearing Hamas scarves they had to take them off for the photo, I'm sure. TD

""What do we say? "Convicted felon!" When do we say it?  NOW!"

. . . "I’d say, then, that the image is real. These people are the ones putting words in Biden’s mouth. They are both foot soldiers and, at a guess, policymakers. I say the last because they are the living embodiment of the modern Democrat party: shiny pretty Marxists who are mostly cat ladies.

"The image, of course, is going viral because everybody understands what they are seeing. These are the people in charge in America. It’s a terrifying thought:" . . .

Dilbert's Scott Adams has this to say about MSNBC

 Robots Read News about Biden's hidden condition

The hosts of MSNBC need to disclose their mental health situations to viewers who think they are hearing sane opinions. They are not.

Photo added by TD

I don't think all Trump haters have mental health issues. Some are liars for their team. Some don't see the news in proper context. Some are brainwashed into temporary TDS. Some are just working for a paycheck. Some have normal political disagreements. Whatever is happening at MSNBC is a different animal. That looks to me like full-blown mental health crisis that is escalating. And their mental health is impacting the country in a major way. Joy Reid just told us "Hitler" is going to get elected. Stop pretending you don't see it. You saw it with Biden. You see it with several of the MSNBC hosts. You don't see it with CNN hosts. We have to stop ignoring it. (End quote)

Look at San Francisco to understand what the leftist future holds for America; GOOOOOONNNE!

  Andrea Widburg - American Thinker

"Whether you like leftism or not (I don’t), one of the most admirable things about leftists is that they are long-term planners. Conservatives dream of quick fixes, but leftists put systems in place and then patiently wait for them to come to fruition. San Francisco perfectly illustrates how this works...and it goes back to the 1960s.

"At the end of June, a San Francisco convenience store was robbed and vandalized. This happened in a city that no longer polices minor crimes (allowing it to boast that its crime statistics have improved), thereby paving the way for major crimes.

"The city, rather than vowing to do better to protect its law-abiding taxpayer citizens, served the storeowner with a notice warning him that he’d better fix the damage the city’s policies caused...or else. And do note that this is a minority-owned business in what I happen to know is (or at least was) a working-class neighborhood."

. . ."The leftists’ horrific policies have even managed to destroy one of America’s most popular and profitable tourist attractions: Fisherman’s Wharf."

"... in the name of political correctness, American socialist cities have a two-tiered system: law-abiding citizens are on the receiving end of heavy-handed government control, while politically correct protected victim classes are removed from any controls whatsoever. The result is the worst of all possible worlds, with law abiding citizens beaten down both by their own government and by those whom the government allows to roam free.  San Francisco provides a perfect example of this Western socialist dynamic." https://bookwormroom.comancisco-americas-homegrown-anarchic-totalitarianism/

The MSM attacks Trump's lies; let them cover Biden's as well

 Fact check: Biden's horrific debate performance made worse by multiple lies and gaffes (nypost.com)  "Critics of former President Donald Trump are always quick to challenge the veracity of the Republican’s statements but President Biden was guilty of multiple whoppers during Thursday night’s presidential debate — when he was coherent.

"Here were the commander in chief’s biggest fibs and gaffes:" . . .

Truth: At least 16 troops have died in overseas attacks over his tenure, including, infamously, the 13 soldiers killed in an ISIS-K attack during the botched August 2021 US evacuation from Afghanistan.

Biden claimed that no American troops have died during his administration.

Trump’s unemployment rate

What Biden said: “[The] unemployment rate rose to 15% [under Trump]; it was terrible.”

Fact: The unemployment rate was 6.4% when Trump left the White House in 2021. Unemployment rose from 4.4% in March 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic to 14.8% in April 2020. The unprecedented global outbreak wreaked economic havoc worldwide.

Border crossings

What Biden said: “I’ve changed in a way that now you’re in a situation where there are 40% fewer people coming across the border illegally. That’s better than when [Trump] left office.”

Truth: He’s confusing data. The daily average of migrant apprehensions dropped more than 40% — to nearly 2,400 — since Biden issued an executive action that went into effect a month ago prohibiting asylum at the southern border.

Biden’s Dénouement Hurts U.S. Standing; ("Dénouement": "the final outcome of the main dramatic complication in a literary work")

  James E. Fanell and Bradley A. Thayer › American Greatness

"The world witnessed the coverup of a president that is in sharp decline and our enemies are not going to wait for a new president to be selected before continuing the pursuit of their strategic goals."  

"In an odious, dangerous, and supremely selfish manner, the Biden administration has placed its political survival before the interests of the United States."

 "U.S. domestic politics is roiled over President Biden’s dénouement. The American people wonder whether Biden will be president in the weeks to come. Collectively, Americans are straining their eyes as they attempt to read the color of the smoke coming from the chimneys of the DNC, the White House, and Obama’s mansion in Kalorama. Will Biden step down or ride it out to the election? Will the 25th Amendment be invoked or will Biden stubbornly remain in office until January sees President Trump return to office or another Democrat occupy the Oval Office? Certainly, it deserves to be explored why Biden’s condition was obvious for so long but not acknowledged and addressed. As does the curious timing of a presidential debate in June to make the issue front and center and thus provide the Democrats time to find a replacement.

"However interesting and important these issues are, you do not get to call a “time out” in international politics. While the Democrats decide whether Biden will remain in office and serve as their candidate, America’s enemies are hard at work. The dictator of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Xi Jinping, was meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Astana, Kazakhstan for the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) gathering. That meeting was notable for two reasons. First, the SCO is expanding. Belarus joined the SCO to become the tenth member along with Iran, Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, the PRC, Russia, India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Second, the SCO now exists as a visible counterweight to U.S. influence in global politics. Putin made the meeting in Astana on the back of his visits to North Korea and Vietnam. No matter the success of these efforts, it demonstrates that Putin is chopping wood while Biden sleeps.

"In that effort, he is not alone. Xi is putting the screws to U.S. allies. Putin’s travels around Asia divert attention from the PRC’s increasing aggression against the Philippines, a U.S. Treaty ally. The PRC’s coercive actions against Manila at Second Thomas Shoal are notable because of Beijing’s escalation. Its coast guard and navy are directly interfering with the resupply of the Sierra Madre, the vessel permanently beached on the shoal to protect Manila’s sovereignty. Beijing is executing a maritime sovereignty campaign to seize Filipino territory through an orchestrated process of incremental coercive steps that are increasingly violent and could very well lead to an armed conflict. It remains unclear whether the PRC will succeed, but if it does, it will be because the Biden administration watched and did nothing to aid the brave Filipino military." . . .

This is for all pro-Hamas people out there; those who enjoyed ripping down posters of their Jewish hostages

"Did Hamas really behead babies, or is it false because I’m seeing a lot of different information & I am not sure?"

"They did. They also tied children together with wire and set fire to them in batches. They gang raped at least one prepubescent girl in front of her parents."

"Are Muslims horrified and disgusted with Hamas shooting and beheading little babies?"

"As a non muslim here is what I have noticed -

"After the Oct 7th massacre, across islamic countries, people got together in city squares and celebrated it as if hamas had done something great and they want to be part of that greatness. Obviously those large numbers of people were clearly jubilant not horrified at the massacre.

"The second image that is stuck in my mind is of the dead lady at the back of a pickup with two fat guys with legs across her dead body while boys spitting on the body as they make the rounds of gaza. Obviously those boys have been indoctrinated by their families. If people of gaza were horrified they would have stopped the show and handled the dead body with some respect.

"I saw or rather listened to a video of a hamas attacker calling up home after killing 10 israelis. What stuck me was that the parents were so happy about his achievement. His parents were wishing to be there with him to see his massacre of innocent people. I am going to ignore this attacker who might be in early 20s full of adrenaline. What stuck me was the attitude of his parents who were thrilled as if their son has cracked some ivy league college exam.

"There has to be something that causes all these people to uniformly celebrate/support massacre of innocent civilians."

Great numbers of kaffiyeh-wearing stylish, ignorant young people on campuses I hold equally to blame as well. TD

Why did Hamas burn babies in the kitchen ovens in Israel?

"Because, as Douglas Murray said in more than one instance, they carried out the massacre with glee."

"They did not come to carry out a task in the sense of how the Nazis shot women and children in the back of their heads and dump them into ditches.

"They came to simply have fun.

"And for them, decapitating Jews, raping women while chopping off their breasts and baking babies was fun…"

Thoughts on Joe Biden challenge us all (UPDATED, Sun 7/7)

"And so, in the coming days, Joe Biden will likely be dragged kicking and screaming as the Democrat party inflicts a political late-term abortion on the staunch advocate for the right to choose." J DeA

The Late-Term Abortion of Joe Biden - Jeannie DeAngelis  . . . "That may well be happening to the presiding presidential champion of “reproductive” rights, Joe Biden — not an actual abortion per se, but an abortion of sorts, because, late in the 2024 election season, a bloody termination may take place.

"Whether Joe realizes it or not, he could be in the process of being sacked by the very Democrats who pretended he was their golden boy when he was pushed to the fore in 2020.  At first, Biden was embraced by his party with great joy.  Four years later, the plan was probably to keep the reincarnation of Mad King George III hidden in his bedroom for another term.  Now, after Biden’s weaknesses were exposed at the June 7 debate, his handlers find themselves scrambling to revise the bedroom plan, and a late-term political abortion looks attractive." . . .

ABC interview proves that Joe Biden is in complete senile denial (nypost.com)

UPDATE, 7/7:  Does a viral video show Biden revealing his inner racist? No, but the bad visual will stick. - Andrea Widberg; . . ."The truth is that Biden had already greeted that same young woman earlier, so this wasn’t the dis it seems. . .  

What matters, though, is that the image of Biden bypassing a young black woman, followed by her manifest disappointment, will stick because it aligns with Biden’s life trajectory. He’s an old white guy from Scranton who lives in a world of negative racial stereotypes and uses blacks as political props.

WATCH: Joe Biden Disses Young Black Woman at Rally and You Can’t Help But Feel Bad For Her – PJ Media   "Another Biden moment has gone viral, and it's not a senior moment. It was actually a moment some would argue was racist.

"Keep in mind, Joe Biden has spent his entire presidency pandering to minorities. Nary a day goes by where he doesn't pat himself on the back for having "the most diverse administration" in history, for picking a black woman as his running mate, and for nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court. 

"That's what he does for the cameras, anyway. He wants to create a presidential legacy of being a champion of diversity.

"Yet, none of that makes up for his history of racism. As we've documented here at PJ Media, Biden has made racist comments for years. I suspect many in the Democratic Party know he's racist. Heck, the biggest moment of Kamala Harris's short-lived presidential campaign was accusing Joe Biden of being racist for his past opposition to busing and his willingness to work with Democrat segregationists. 

And, many are saying that ol' racist Joe reared his ugly head again during a campaign rally in Wisconsin after he blatantly snubbed a black girl who appeared really excited to see him in order to take selfies with a couple of old white women.

"Video of the incident has gone viral, and it will be impossible not to feel sorry for the poor girl as her face transitions from one of pure joy to one of utter sadness." . . .

WUT? Woke AWFL Tells White People They Are Not Allowed to Tan Unless They Are a 'BLM Ally'

 Twitchy   "For comic book nerds such as this writer, one fun pastime we have is a robust discussion of who are the worst villains. We often refer to these villains as the 'Rogues Gallery.' Batman, for instance, has The Joker, The Riddler, Ra's al Ghul, Bane, Poison Ivy, The Penguin, and many more. Spider-Man's rogues gallery includes Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, Rhino, Venom, and Vulture, to name a few. 

"There's never a resolution to the question of who is the worst, but it's always a fun discussion. 

"Just like with comic books, in the rogue's gallery of truly evil villains in real life, it can be difficult to determine who is the worst. You've got terrorists such as Hamas, dictators like Kim Jong Un, pedophiles and groomers, and actual James Bond characters like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates. 

"But perhaps some of the worst real-life villains are the AWFLs (Affluent White Feminist Liberals). These ladies used to be known as 'Karens,' but AWFL is a much more accurate description. Occasionally, people will add the word 'Urban' so that the acronym is spelled properly, 'AWFUL' (except the secret lairs of these women always seem to be located in suburbia). 

"Either way, their entire existence seems to be dedicated to making the entire rest of the world as miserable as they are. 

"Take, for example, this wonderful woman, who has now declared that tanning -- yes, tanning -- is now outlawed for anyone who is not a leftist Marxist.
