It is humiliating to the president that for nearly three weeks since appointing Kamala Harris as his border post wife, she has still not visited the disaster area, devised a plan or held a press conference on the migrant crisis.
Instead, she visited a water treatment plant in California and a bakery in Chicago, where the press group reported on her sweet tooth last week.
Her favorite is German chocolate, and [she] gets that every year for her birthday, and her staff ordered a slice for her. The bakery’s specialty is caramel cake, and she said she was looking forward to that too. ”
Sounding things.
Meanwhile, the self-inflicted humanitarian tragedy on the southern border has gotten out of hand, polls are heading south, the responsible Biden has resigned abruptly, the President of El Salvador has refused to meet the visiting US envoy, and the vice president is defying her boss and stay far away from the smelly mess to protect its reputation.
But while the two play “pass the parcel,” the vacuum of leadership is only fueling a humanitarian catastrophe.
President Joe Biden knew when he appointed Harris on March 24 to manage the crisis that it was a poison chalice, giving you a hint of the growing wariness in a relationship where the VP is referred to by insiders as “ The Heiress ” and Biden has been considered as unable to serve a full tenure.
The White House announced at the time that Harris “would lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle. To slow down migration to our southern border. ”
But two days later, when asked when she planned to go to the border, Harris responded with hysterical laughter. “Not today,” she chuckled.
“The vice president doesn’t cross the line,” her spokeswoman Symone Sanders told reporters.
Instead, Harris would address the “root causes” of the increase in migration. To this end, she made two phone calls with regional leaders.
But the only main cause that matters is the restoration of Trump-era border protections that Biden settled by executive decree: restore the ‘Stay in Mexico’ policy for asylum seekers, restart the deportation of criminal aliens, complete the border wall and stop making kids bait for cartels.
Biden has tried to argue that the limit rise is just a seasonal rise, but the numbers are rising exponentially. Last month alone, 19,000 children were registered crossing the border, double the previous month. The government reportedly expects more than 35,000 migrant children to be cared for by June.
Biden has put the sugar on the table for people smugglers and children suffering.
Video footage online shows buses at a Texas detention center in which each adult on board is accompanied by one small child. Biden’s policy of accepting unaccompanied minors has made children the tickets for entry into America, but how do we know if these children are even related to the adults holding their hand? Nobody does DNA tests.
Another video shows a sobbing 10-year-old Nicaraguan child walking alone on a Texas road before telling border agents that he fears “they” might “rob or kidnap me or something.”
At a press conference last week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott made stunning allegations of child sexual abuse in a San Antonio migrant facility that houses more than 1,300 migrant children.
He told Fox News Thursday that allegations of child sexual assault had been filed with two Texas government agencies: “[It] was a very specific description of ways children were sexually assaulted, where it happened, who did it and the horrific things that were done that I can’t tell you on TV … Biden’s government knows about this … and yet nothing happens.”
Nothing but cynical distraction, denial and distraction.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed his complaints as “ridiculous. The fact is that we are on the right track at the border under the leadership of President Biden. It is about restructuring. Because we were in a very bad situation. under the Trump administration. ”
This is Biden’s Operation Warp Speed: How to Destroy a Land in 100 Days.
The administration is so desperate that government employees are quietly being given four months of paid leave from their jobs to help care for migrant children in shelters on the border, The New York Times reports.
But the White House will not even recognize that there is a problem.
On Friday, press secretary Jen Psaki spent more than twice as much time talking about the Ukrainian border as she did on America’s southern border: 262 words versus 94.
“The reason for accepting these children is that we feel it is not the humane step to send these children back on their treacherous journey,” she said, as if the atrocities committed in our name were compassionate.
Later that afternoon, the White House issued a statement that Roberta Jacobsen, the White House coordinator for the southern border, had resigned.
She must be the only person on the records with a conscience.
The Biden family? Nepotism
While Hunter Biden has his reputation laundered by a crawling media, his abandoned laptop reveals the extent of the right and privileges long enjoyed by President Biden’s family and vigorously exploited by his crack-loving son.
In an email exchange in 2015, Hunter’s cousin Missy Owens asks him to arrange a government appointment for her mother, Valerie Owens, sister of then VP Joe Biden: “I really want to get started, but. Mom needs it more than me now. Hunter replies that he “will go through the list with Steve [Ricchetti, then Joe’s chief of staff, now White House counselor] and see what makes sense. I don’t know how many 2016 [the election] and favoritism plays a role in this. ”
See, the following year, President Barack Obama appoints Aunt Val to a ceremonial role at the United Nations, a four-month term that pays $ 26,000.
In addition, a memo to Hunter from his business partner Eric Schwerin in 2016 secures two “advice” contracts worth $ 12,500 a month for Aunt Val when the UN action is over.
The Biden Foundation will provide a “Consulting Contract with Valerie Owens or her LLC for $ 12,500 per month for one year.”
The other consulting firm is at the University of Delaware, to coincide with the Biden Center’s announcement of Joe as the founding chair.
Missy herself, along with sister Casey, got a federal job during the Obama administration before moving to a lucrative job at Coca-Cola. See how it works?
The rules never apply to the Bidens. Jobs, Ivy League berths, internships, court internships, they are all up for grabs. When family members come into contact with the law, they are treated with kid gloves, be it DWI, credit card fraud, shoplifting, assaulting the police or lying on a background check form on your drug use when buying a gun, as Hunter did in 2016.
Black people have served much less. For example, rapper Kodak Black was sentenced to 46 months in prison for federal gun charges in 2019 after lying on the form to buy firearms.
It’s a sick irony that while Joe Biden wages war on white privilege, his 51-year-old son is the living embodiment of the worst of it.
