Border Crisis Heats Up as Biden Admin Loses Grip

There are a lot of goings on, as the world continues to slide toward the brink.

Texas governor Abbott has pulled the trigger on directly challenging the Federal government on the border issue:

He was joined by a slew of states, whose governors pledged their support:

Republican governors are considering sending their national guards to Texas. Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma pledged to do so on video. In another video Governor Stitt called it a powder keg situation, sending echoes of Fort Sumter through many in the blogosphere:

Video: Newsmax - Kirby Questioned about National Guard

Desantis has already even vocalized plans to undercut Biden’s scheme of ‘federalizing’ the national guards to take control of them. Desantis plans to do this by potentially sending the ‘state guard’ which he says cannot be federalized. In fact, Desantis’s speech is a good one, even though it veers a bit off topic. But he brings up salient points about how Biden has abused federal authority in sending national guards to foreign lands like Syria and Iraq for obscure missions they were never meant to carry out.

Biden immediately retaliated by announcing the suspension of LNG exports....

It looks like BRANDON’s bluff is being called.

BRANDON is not in charge of anything. He can’t even change his own Depends.

**OBAMA’S** bluff is being called.

Trump’s welcome tough rhetoric about the U.S.-Mexico border was scorned by feel good “tolerant and compassionate” Democrats.....while they regularly demeaned Trump as being “xenophobic.”

But now, vote-crazed Biden is using similar language − even seeking a border shutdown − as he urges Congress to pass a bipartisan bill to address what quisling Biden has started to call “the border crisis.”

Biden papers over his motives, saying he wants new presidential authority to “shut down the border whenever he wants to. “If that bill were the law today, I’d shut down the border right now and fix it quickly,” candidate Biden told Democrats in Columbia, South Carolina.

But as usual its a Biden con game.

He’s caught with his pants down. Diseased Terrorist migrants are entering US communities at an alarming rate, and blue sanctuary cities are straining to get up the money to feed and house them.

And this. Vote-crazed Biden’s push for a border bill would also include billions in funding for Ukraine and Israel as Biden tries to sell his fake shifting to the right on border and immigration politics as a Democrat solution.

Reality check.

As the 2024 presidential election looms, Biden is trying to strip Republicans of one of their most effective wedge issues.

He’s making a redolent case for his border failures ......intimating House Republicans − who wont go along with his faked bipartisan border bill − stood in the way of his own long-discussed fantasies about action he imagined on the border.

Closed borders is a far cry from Biden’s first day in office when he trashed Trump and sap-happily sought to “restore humanity and American values to our immigration system” by offering pathways for citizenship to undocumented immigrants ....rescinding piles of Trump’s executive orders protecting Americans from drug-laden border jumpers.

Texas struck fear in cowardly Biden when the Texas National Guard soldiers installed additional razor wire after a major surge of migrant border surge late last year, that left huge quantities of refuse along the U.S.-Mexico border at Eagle Pass.

The battle brews as tiny Eagle Pass braces for its next conflict w/ weak intimidated turncoat Biden.

Just wait until AZ, NM, CO, and KS block those convoys on federal interstates.

The GOP should be all over this “I need a bipartisan bill” to take action on the border. It screams two things:1) I don’t know my own authority, 2) I’m BS’ing everyone, and really don’t want to do anything unless it benefits me personally.

2023 invasion numbers are about 8X of the pre-Biden rate, and at 3.2M illegals - it is a sum bigger than Chicago, and approaching the size of L.A. Our government is failing us, it is putting us in danger.

Desperate Biden screams three things:
1) I don’t know my own authority,
2) I’m BS’ing everyone, and
3) I don’t want to do anything unless it benefits me personally.


Nails it......especially no 3).

Biden (0bama) isn’t losing grip.

Everything is going according to plan.

“Desantis has already even vocalized plans to undercut Biden’s scheme of ‘federalizing’ the national guards to take control of them.”

Since DeSantis is a former naval officer, can Biden have DeSantis recalled to service...and put on the brig for insurrection?

Two can play at that game. Plenty of Red States above that can block Blue traffic...on back roads or interstates.

Now all they have to do is read the US Constitution Art. IV, Sect 4, and send all of Biden’s illegal alien ‘parolees’ to a territory or district that doesn’t violate their states’ sovereignty rights. The closest one is District of Columbia in Washington, DC. The latter states to join in this might find themselves having to ‘buy out’ current DC residents to provide housing for the parolees to wait for their trial dates.

These punks who we think work for us on DC do not work for us. I despise them, as former NCO’s and officers I served with in combat are not the men I knew.
