Kamala’s first foray into international diplomacy does not go well

The most relentless slander the Democrats leveled against President Trump was that he was a racist. Any person with marginal intelligence looking at the record knew this was a lie but the Democrats, thanks to their media lackeys, made it stick. Their promise was that international relationships with the non-racist Biden-Harris administration would be so much better. When Biden gave Kamala “Ms. Diversity” Harris responsibility for dealing with the southern border, they celebrated. Six weeks into that brief, though, Harris’s first act was to offend and incense the Mexican president. Ruh-roh!

One of the most baffling things for the Democrats was the fact that, even as they railed against Trump for being abnormal and offensive, foreign leaders got along with him very well. Chief among those was Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (aka AMLO). He and Trump quickly entered into an agreement that saw Mexico hold on to illegal aliens until their hearings in the U.S. could take place. In exchange, Trump helped AMLO control the cartels and criminality at the border. It was a win-win.

Having falsely claimed that Trump was a bizarre anomaly, Democrats assured Americans that normalcy would return with a Biden Harris administration. And it has, if one considers “normal” to be raging inflation only four months into the new administration, and a completely open southern border, over which hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are flooding, many of them sick with the same COVID that Democrats are weaponizing at home to destroy American’s civil rights. Otherwise, we’re witnessing a strikingly abnormal, sick, anti-American administration but, for now, we’re stuck with it.

Six weeks ago, Biden announced that his co-president…er, vice president, Kamala Harris, would be responsible for dealing with the border. This was an impressive call, given that one week before that appointment,

This Kamala fiasco with the President of Mexico brings to mind the amazing statesmanship of Jimmy Carter. In the late 1970s, I was fresh out of college and the petrochemical company I was with commissioned a new oil refinery at the complex. It was the first new grassroots refinery in several decades and about 180K bbl/day IIRC.

The refinery was completely state of the art but unique in that it was basically the front half of a refinery and skewed to narrowly run on lousy but cheap Mexican oil from Yucatán. Output was olefins and aromatics for plastic production with residuals after that sold to oil refiners. So, back to Carter….

In some kind of public setting, Carter told a Mexican joke that the Mexican president took offense at and cut off our our oil supply from Yucatán.

That refinery ran for 2 years or so then shut down permanently due to a lack of compatible lousy oil. After about 10 or 12 years of mothball status, the refinery was sold for pennies on the dollar, dismantled the shipped to India.

The best things I can say about Kamala and this D administration is bless their hearts and what a bunch of maroons.
