Harris Sings a Different Tune on Immigration During Central America Trip: ‘Do Not Come’

Joe Chose Poorly (Below)

The American Spectator

The vice president’s efforts at damage control follow record numbers of illegal immigrants.

"Vice President Kamala Harris, who is leading the Biden administration’s response to immigration from Central America, embarked on a two-day trip to Mexico and Guatemala Sunday. Harris stressed that the purpose of her trip was to focus on the “root causes of migration.” During her diplomatic travel, Harris pivoted her public approach to illegal immigration.

"During a news conference on Monday with Guatemalan president Alejandro Giammattei, Harris said, “I want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home.” To those who make the trek to the southern border, Harris said, “Do not come. Do not come.” 

"She also claimed that the Biden administration would “continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders.” 

"The vice president’s comments starkly contrasted with her previous stance on immigration. In response to the Trump administration’s immigration policies, she tweeted in 2017, “An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal,” as well as stating, “Say it loud, say it clear, everyone is welcome here” with the #NoBanNoWall hashtag." . . .

Joe Chose Poorly  . . . "In the aftermath of her awful trip to Guatemala and Mexico, CNN (of all places) reported that some people in the White House are “perplexed” over Kamala’s complete inability to answer some pretty straightforward and totally predicable questions. CNN’s John Harwood reported that Biden officials “were not thrilled” by Kamala’s clunky and defensive responses to the question of whether she will ever visit the border.

"Keep in mind, the Biden Administration people are Obama people. And nothing matters more to them than optics. And the optics of Kamala’s trip were flat-out bad.

"In addition to the uncomfortable exchange with Lester Holt that I mentioned the other day, Kamala had an equally awful moment in an interview with Univision yesterday.

"It’s a brief clip, but you’ll see what I mean:

Is Jill Biden staging a little coup?

Andrea Widburg  . . . "In six months, he’s dismantled America’s security, economy, and sanity. Meanwhile, Kamala has failed at the one thing for which she was responsible: Bringing control to the border. Now, some are wondering if that failure was orchestrated in the White House and if Mrs. Jill Biden was responsible." . . .

. . . "Really, just hear me out. We know that Jill Biden is nakedly ambitious at a level we haven’t seen since Hillary Clinton, whose presidential run we are all familiar with. She drug her husband through a deeply uncomfortable 2020 presidential campaign that he was clearly not physically and mentally up for. As president, things have only gotten worse for Joe Biden, yet Jill Biden’s ambition has hardly slowed down. Rather, she’s seemingly put herself ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris when it comes to assignments and publicity.

"That leads me to the next aspect of this – Jill Biden hates Kamala Harris." . . .

Ex-FBI Agent Emerges to Voice Who He Thought Was Leaking Sensitive Trump-Russia Info to the Media

 Matt Vespa   "Disgraced ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok is back. He's emerged from the bunker after being fired following the Russian collusion fiasco that embarrassed the FBI. Why? Well, he wants to let everyone know who he thinks leaked sensitive Trump-Russia collusion information to the media. Yeah, I'm not sure what to think about this, but Chuck Ross at the Washington Free Beacon has more:" . . .

. . . "I mean, this doesn't absolve Strzok for what he did, but it would confirm what we already knew about Swalwell, who's already compromised for allegedly sleeping with Chinese spies, and Adam Schiff. Schiff is a leaking machine and it's not shocking that House Democrats would do this with their allies in the media. But the FBI and DOJ also reportedly had a leaking strategy as well. The enemies to Trump were everywhere. " . . .

Why CNN Gave Toobin Another Shot After Fiasco. You Probably Already Know.

Jim Treacher also asked a good question regarding Toobin’s return which was that this entire time the network couldn’t find another liberal lawyer to fill his shoes? 

This is work Zoom call bingo. We’ll have to add
 another square for Jeffrey Toobin.

Townhall  "CNN’s legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin is back. I’m sure you saw the very awkward interview he did upon his return. Oh, and he has a book coming out. Toobin was forced into exile for months after he was caught masturbating on a Zoom call with staffers from The New Yorker. Toobin was a former contributor to this publication. This self-gratification episode led to his firing. Host Alisyn Camerota did ask a good question upon his return which was how could this have happened? Toobin has covered many a political episode of politicians getting caught with their pants down. From Clinton to Spitzer, Toobin was there. This was the most unforced of unforced errors. He merely said he’s a flawed guy. Only at CNN could this be viewed as an acceptable reason and one that would bar someone from being fired. So, why did CNN offer a helping hand? You already know. The Left believes in second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth chances (via WaPo):". . . 

. . . "The publication also added, albeit towards the end of the piece, that this welcoming back of Toobin seems a bit out of place given that longtime contributor Rick Santorum was fired for making politically incorrect remarks about Native Americans, a much less severe oversight by a longshot. If you make remarks about Native Americans that liberals don’t like, you’re gone, but getting caught masturbating in front of others deserves a second chance. That’s CNN." . . . 

President Trump Says the Joint Chiefs of Staff Should All Be Fired If They Think Climate Change Is America’s Greatest Threat

"We reported yesterday that senile old Joe Biden believes the greatest threat to America is man-made climate change.

Media Caught In Yet Another Massive Anti-Trump Lie; Will Election Fraud Be Next?

 Issues & Insights  

If news reporters were doctors, they would be sued for malpractice – or worse – for this level of incompetence, negligence, and malice.

"More than a year after the events at Lafayette Square happened, and after endless media claims that President Donald Trump had peaceful protesters forcibly cleared for a photo op, we finally know the truth. Trump was right. The media were lying. And anyone who trusted the news accounts was a fool.

"It’s enough to make us start to wonder why anyone should trust the media’s insistence that there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

"Yesterday, the Interior Department’s inspector general released a report about what actually happened in Lafayette Square on June 1, 2020. As a refresher, here’s how the media reported it:

• “Peaceful Protesters Tear-Gassed To Clear Way For Trump Church Photo Op”
• “Protesters Dispersed With Tear Gas So Trump Could Pose at Church”
• “Tear gas, flash-bangs used to clear protesters from Lafayette Square before surprise President Trump photo op”
• “Republicans chastise Trump for ousting protesters, church photo op”
• “Tear Gas Clears Way for Trump Moment at Church Damaged in Unrest”

"Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats repeatedly trotted this story out during the presidential campaign to besmirch Trump

"It was all a lie." . . .    Full Article

Donald Trump Reacts to ‘Exoneration’ in Inspector General’s Report on Lafayette Park . . .  "That finding, published Wednesday, is likely to surprise many critics of Trump, who have long asserted that the president or his attorney general ordered the operation to pave the way for an act of political theater,” the report continued. “That is also the central allegation of a federal lawsuit by Black Lives Matter against the Justice Department.' ” . . .

MSNBC Hack Melts Down Trying to Turn Voters Against Trump: ‘What If Trump Kills Someone?’

 Trending Politics  "MSNBC left-wing contributor Donny Deutsch really wants people to stop supporting Donald Trump.

"During a segment on MSNBC, Deutsch had quite the meltdown trying to “convince” people that they shouldn’t support Trump.

"At one point, he shouted “what if Trump kills someone” before them insulting Americans by saying “even then” they wouldn’t stop supporting the former president.

"[The] MSNBC host asked:

Okay, Donny, you study people and trends and how people respond to things. We’ve had so many incidents kurg the Trump presidency where the world was kind of shocked by what Donald Trump was doing. And I just wonder whether you think people are going to look at this story, which is clearly, you know, gets at the very heart of what the democratic experience is, an independent judiciary and the rule of the law, and the freedom of the press, as well. And whether people will say, this is a reminder of how terrible this was, we must always protect our constitutions. Or whether people will look at this and say Donald Trump, he’s down in Mar-a-Lago, we don’t want to think about him anymore, and we know he did crazy things.

The Unbearable Lightweightness of Kamala Harris

...How about Harris’s inept nonleadership with the “border crisis” ongoing?  Come now, there’s no border crisis for Democrats.  It was, is, and will continue to be an opportunity to flood the nation with illegals, whom Democrats want to make welfare dependents, maids, yard boys, and their voters. ...

 American Thinker  . . . "The betting here is that Biden is a goner.  It’s just a matter of timing.  Do Democrats roll the dice and give Joe the hook before the midterms?  Will they wager that with Biden gone before next year’s contests, and Harris installed at the White House, a short-term Harris bump gets their corrupt elections measure (the diabolically misnamed “For the People Act”) passed, among other contemptible legislation?  Or do cooler heads calculate that Kamala Harris is so terrible, so not a leader, so able to turnoff even rank and file Democrats, that they dare not tempt a huge voter backlash in the midterms? 

"Dunno.  But do believe this: Xi Jinping, Vlad Putin, the mullahs, and Kim Jong-un aren’t losing any sleep at night anticipating a Harris presidency."  

American Thinker must be running a Kamala Harris special today

Staff murmer to press that they're 'perplexed' about Kamala Harris's performance on her first trip abroad  . . . "They're not angry at the press, they're embarrassed about her, and her inability to answer a simple question from CBS's fawning Lester Holt, (a newsman who views fairness in news coverage as overrated), and very likely wanted to make Harris look good." . . .

Then Harris meets a Marine Corps general:

You really have to feel a little bit sorry for Kamala

You won't go to the southern border because you know everyone down there thinks you and Joe are idiots, and they're going to tell you that to your face.  The people trying to keep the lid on this boiling kettle of disaster will want to know what you and Joe are going to do about the mass mayhem, and all those furious, frustrated sheriffs and mayors of all those Texas, Nevada, California, and Arizona border towns overrun by illegals are going to demand answers from you that you just don't have.

‘I’m Not Finished’: Kamala Harris Scolds Univision Reporter Over Border Visit Question

"Harris gives a long-winded answer. Ilia Calderón is not impressed and asks once again, “Do you have a date for your trip to the border?' ”

I never thought we’d have someone more unlikable than Hillary Clinton. So fake. So condescending.

God forbid people want to know when you’re going to do your job.

The best part of the interview? Calderón does not hold back her disdain for Harris’s disrespect. 

Is California Over?

Reason video "For well over a century, California was synonymous with the American dream. By the early 1960s, it had become the most populous state in the country. Now its population is declining for the first time in recorded history—The reasons behind California's decline aren't hard to fathom."

California is the Biden Administration’s role model for America.  Video

" 'People are just emptying out of California!” says Kristin Tate, who reports on why so many abandon the state: "exorbitant tax rates, the high crime rates, the failing public school systems, the exorbitant cost of living.” "Despite these failures, the LA Times writes, Make America California Again? That's Biden's plan. "Why would the rest of us want California’s problems? "Our video above highlights California laws and regulations Biden pushes for, and the California politicians who failed their way into his administration. “ 'If we make America California, we are all going to be paying for it,” concludes Tate."

Evidence Mounts — Chauvin Did Not Murder Floyd

Prosecutors knew they had a problem. To make the murder charge stick in the Chauvin case, they had to secure an “asphyxia” diagnosis from a physician. 

The American Spectator  "In his motion for a new trial, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, through his attorney Eric Nelson, made an obvious point. Quoting case law, Nelson reminded the court of “the prosecutor’s inherently unique role in the criminal justice system, which mandates that the prosecutor not act as a zealous advocate for criminal punishment, but as the representative of the people in an effort to seek justice.”

"Had the State prosecutors set out to honor this mandate and seek justice, they would not have presented the medical evidence they did. In fact, they would not have charged Derek Chauvin with second-degree murder or charged his colleagues as accomplices.

"If justice were the goal, prosecutors would have taken two critical steps to assure that the medical testimony supported the charge of murder. The first was to run a controlled experiment to see if Chauvin’s actions could possibly have resulted in the death of George Floyd. The second was to make the court and the defense aware of the potential compromise of its star medical witness, Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker.

"Dr. John Dunn did run such an experiment, and he made a video of the same. Dr. Dunn comes well credentialed. He is a former member and chair of the medico-legal committee for the American College of Emergency Physicians, board certified in legal medicine, and co-author with a pathologist of a chapter on forensics for a text published by the American College of Legal Medicine. He has followed the case from the beginning, studied the videos, and reviewed Floyd’s autopsy report." . . .

MSNBC Host Explains Anxiety She Felt Over American Flags Hanging From Trucks of Trump Supporters On Long Island, NY  Wouldn't MSNBC call this all a "merry caravan"?  

"This weekend, during a segment on MSNBC, Mara Gay expressed her concern over “dozens of American flags” flown by Donald Trump supporters during a weekend trip to Long Island, New York.

"Welcome to our bizarre new world, where Democrats are offended by American flags, and anyone who disagrees with their far-left ideology is a racist.

New York Post reports – The left-wing editorial board member for the New York Times was also distressed by what she called expletives on the trucks against President Biden, describing the flag-flying Trump supporters as sending a clear message: “This is my country … not your country. I own this.” . . .

Fellow lefty co-host Sunny Hostin was the worst, griping that she was “so surprised actually that she is receiving this kind of backlash” and said this should have been a case where those who disagreed with Gay folded and accepted her take as fact because Gay’s a Black woman.

Critical Race Theory: What It Is and How to Fight It

. . . [socialists] are remembered for their gulags, show trials, executions, and mass starvations. In practice, Marx’s ideas unleashed man’s darkest brutalities.By the mid-1960s, Marxist intellectuals in the West had begun to acknowledge these failures. They recoiled at revelations of Soviet atrocities and came to realize that workers’ revolutions would never occur in Western Europe or the United States*. . . 

Tony Branco

  Imprimus   "Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. It’s time for this to change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.

"In explaining critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. The solution to that imbalance, according to Marx, was revolution: the workers would eventually gain consciousness of their plight, seize the means of production, overthrow the capitalist class, and usher in a new socialist society.

"During the 20th century, a number of regimes underwent Marxist-style revolutions, and each ended in disaster. Socialist governments in the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, Cuba, and elsewhere racked up a body count of nearly 100 million of their own people. They are remembered for their gulags, show trials, executions, and mass starvations. In practice, Marx’s ideas unleashed man’s darkest brutalities.

"By the mid-1960s, Marxist intellectuals in the West had begun to acknowledge these failures. They recoiled at revelations of Soviet atrocities and came to realize that workers’ revolutions would never occur in Western Europe or the United States, where there were large middle classes and rapidly improving standards of living. Americans in particular had never developed a sense of class consciousness or class division. Most Americans believed in the American dream—the idea that they could transcend their origins through education, hard work, and good citizenship." . . .
