Biden’s Irony: Biden’s Open Borders Policy is a Disaster.
Think about this…Biden is panicking because more than 130,000 or so Russian troops have massed near the Ukrainian border because they sense U.S. weakness. Meanwhile, more than 1 million unvaccinated illegal immigrants have already breached our southern border.
Make no mistake, the Russian’s are thugs and we should send lethal arms to our allies to help them defend themselves again this bullying…but if Biden and the Democrats would engage in minimal efforts to secure our border vs smuggling illegals across the country on midnight flights…America would sleep safer.
Biden and the Democrats’ Hypocrisy: Democrats Decried Dark Money. Then They Won With It in 2020.

What Too Many Democrats Forgot: Dissent & free speech are the cornerstone of Democracy. Censorship & WOKE culture are the cornerstone of tyranny.
Biden Gets Lucky: The retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer is a gift to the President. Some called it a ‘circuit breaker’ in his free fall amongst American voters in all parties. Nominating a Supreme Court Justice gives him a chance to distract voters from his failed policies and possibly unite many behind a mainstream liberal nominee, or maybe not.
We’ll see if Biden blows this opportunity as well to bring the country together?!?

Biden approval rating hits new low – Biden’s approval rating fell to 39 percent
President Biden’s approval rating hit a new low in the latest Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll as the White House faces crises on multiple fronts.
Biden’s approval rating fell to 39 percent in the poll, which was released exclusively to The Hill. Of that, 18 percent of registered voters said they strongly approve of the job he’s doing, while 21 percent say they somewhat approve. Meanwhile, 53 percent said they somewhat or strongly disapprove of his job performance.
That number is six points down from his approval rating in November, when he was at 45 percent, while his disapproval rating ticked up from 51 percent two months ago. His 39 percent approval rating is the lowest since the poll first started gauging it in March.
The polling comes as the White House struggles on several domestic and foreign issues.
Inflation is causing economic concern nationwide, reaching the highest level in decades, in part fueled by the coronavirus pandemic. And while coronavirus cases are dropping in some states, they remain high, and hospital systems across the country are struggling under the crush of COVID-19-related admissions.
Leaked video shows federal contractors flying migrants to suburban NY: ‘Betraying the American people’
Leaked video shows migrants being transported on secret charter flights under the cover of night from southern border states to Westchester, New York.
“The government is betraying the American people,” a federal contractor told a Westchester County police officer in a conversation recorded on the officer’s body camera on the tarmac of a Westchester airport on Aug. 13, 2021.
The footage was obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request by former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino. Reports first surfaced of such flights back in October when the New York Post captured video of the scene at the airport in White Plains, New York.
“Our government is completely out of control right now. They have lied to us. They’ve lied to the American people,” Astorino, who is running as a Republican for the governor of New York, said Wednesday on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
Astorino said he personally saw the migrants being put on a bus to a Costco, where they were “then released into cars into the community.”
The 51-minute footage of the August incident shows Westchester Police Sgt. Michael Hamborsky peppering federal contractors early in the morning with questions about the after-hours flights and why local police were not provided details.
Democrats Decried Dark Money. Then They Won With It in 2020.
A New York Times analysis reveals how the left outdid the right at raising and spending millions from undisclosed donors to defeat Donald Trump and win power in Washington.
For much of the last decade, Democrats complained — with a mix of indignation, frustration and envy — that Republicans and their allies were spending hundreds of millions of difficult-to-trace dollars to influence politics.
“Dark money” became a dirty word, as the left warned of the threat of corruption posed by corporations and billionaires that were spending unlimited sums through loosely regulated nonprofits, which did not disclose their donors’ identities.
Then came the 2020 election.
Spurred by opposition to then-President Trump, donors and operatives allied with the Democratic Party embraced dark money with fresh zeal, pulling even with and, by some measures, surpassing Republicans in 2020 spending, according to a New York Times analysis of tax filings and other data.
The analysis shows that 15 of the most politically active nonprofit organizations that generally align with the Democratic Party spent more than $1.5 billion in 2020 — compared to roughly $900 million spent by a comparable sample of 15 of the most politically active groups aligned with the G.O.P.
Parents wise up about Critical Race Theory
According to “free-speech advocates,” a dark and sinister conspiracy threatens our country’s public schools: Curriculum transparency.
NBC News has published a lengthy exposé on how parents, citizens and state lawmakers are demanding more transparency and seeking an end to the teaching of critical race theory and extreme gender ideology in public schools.
The nerve of those people.
The piece starts off on the wrong foot, with a distortion of what opposition to CRT in schools is about. Tyler Kingkade, an NBC News national reporter, begins by saying that Republican governors and lawmakers have “fought to limit discussions of race in public schools.”
Opposition to CRT is not about limiting discussions of race or history. It’s about preventing educators from foisting a particular ideology about race — one premised on the idea that some races are inherently oppressors and others oppressed — on students.
Teaching about history and current events is good; preaching a kind of neo-segregationism to students is bad. Most parents understand that.
Tom Emmer’s on a roll. He won’t say where to.
The House GOP campaigns chief who exceeded expectations in 2020 is poised for a bigger 2022 — and a path up the ranks, if he grabs it.
Tom Emmer has the hottest political hand in the House GOP right now. And if he can win a sizable majority this fall, he’ll have even more chips to cash in.
Halfway through his second cycle as House Republicans’ campaign chief, Emmer is managing to pull off a remarkable feat in the modern GOP: Even as it fissures over Donald Trump’s checkered legacy, Emmer is popular among its disparate wings. From leadership to conservatives to pro-impeachment centrists, all corners of the party have words of praise for the silver-haired Minnesotan.
It doesn’t hurt that Emmer helped stave off an anticipated loss of seats in 2020, to the surprise of many House Republicans. Now that the National Republican Congressional Committee has even more momentum this fall, with Democrats lining up for the exits ahead of an expected GOP takeover in the midterms, the biggest question may be what comes next for its chief.
Just don’t ask him — yet — how he plans to build on a November win.
“The only thing I have in mind right now is winning a majority. That’s it,” Emmer said in an interview. “If you talk to some of my colleagues, I’m sure they told you that I’m a little adamant about staying focused in the moment.”
Ukraine looks to civilian volunteers to help counter possible Russian invasion
Billboards along the highways in Ukraine — some showing a furious, bare-chested man with a baseball bat chasing a bear — have gone up across the country as Russian troops continue massing along its borders. They serve as recruiting tools, encouraging civilians to receive military training and join the volunteer Territorial Defense Forces to guard their hometowns from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s army — and thousands of Ukrainians, including women, are signing up.
In fact, a survey released this week by the Ukraine Future Institute found that 56 percent of those polled were “likely” to or would “definitely” join the Territorial Defense Forces if Russia invades. That’s no surprise: Civilian resistance has been part of Ukraine’s heritage. In November 2004, after international monitors warned that the presidential election appeared rigged, Ukrainians protested en masse during what was dubbed the Orange Revolution, demanding — and getting — a revote.
Eight years ago, when then-President Viktor Yanukovych tried to pull his pro-Western countrymen out of negotiations to join the European Union and push them back into the arms of Russia, Ukrainians rose up in the so-called Euromaidan revolution, ultimately sending him packing. Now that same resolve is officially part of the government’s defense strategy, one that hopes to draw at least 11,000 volunteers to bolster the 250,000 active Ukrainian troops in the country’s standing army.
Dismantling the Myths of the Socialist Paradise
Socialism has failed everywhere it has been attempted for over a century.
Radical progressives are trying to convince Americans, especially young Americans, that socialism is the solution to America’s socio-economic problems. They are banking on millennial ignorance of the repeated failures of socialism and the proven ability of free enterprise to produce opportunity and prosperity for the greatest number.
To camouflage their intent, progressives speak of “democratic” socialism. They promise a tranquil land of collective ownership and equal distribution. But in every case, for more than a century, the socialist ”paradise” has turned out to be a centralized state administered by political elites.
For a realistic understanding of socialism, educators must first dismantle the most egregious myths about this pernicious system.
The 7 Races That Will Likely Decide Control Of The Senate
Senate Democrats have spent the past few months wrestling with President Biden’s social spending plan, voting rights legislation and the future of the filibuster. But now that 2022 has begun, they must now contend with the prospect of defending their exceedingly narrow majority in Congress’s upper chamber. Democrats control the bare minimum of 50 seats, along with Vice President Kamala Harris’s tie-breaking vote, meaning Republicans need a net gain of just one seat to take control.
But Democrats may actually have a better chance of retaining control of the Senate than they do the House, as the president’s party isn’t as susceptible to a midterm penalty in the Senate as it is in the House. That’s in part because only about one-third of the Senate is up each cycle, and the competitiveness of the seats up for election can vary a lot. To this point, Democrats could actually stand to benefit in 2022 because they don’t have to defend any seats in states former President Trump carried in 2020, while Republicans must protect two seats where Biden won — Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
However, thanks to how the electoral environment is shaping up and the low threshold Republicans need to surpass in order to regain a Senate majority, things are still looking pretty good for the GOP. In total, there are 34 seats up this November, but based on the median race rating from election handicappers at Inside Elections, Sabato’s Crystal Ball and The Cook Political Report, there are just nine seats at this point that aren’t classified as safe for one party. And it’s the seven seats in this category that are currently marked as toss-ups or leaning toward one party that will likely decide the fate of the Senate in 2022.
