Biden’s National Security Advisor has no idea who was killed in US airstrikes on Friday...

We have them a weeks notice and a play by play report, it think the headline should be we have ide IF anyone was killed or IF any capabilities were destroyed (probably not).

It's a lot like bombing an aspirin factory.

Re: Democrat Polling Panic.

None of this matters. My prediction is that Biden will still win. It’s a difference in attitudes: Republicans like to hold office, but Democrats like to hold power. Repubs HATE being in charge, they would rather be the party out of power. That way, there’s less criticism from the media, they don’t really have to do anything, they can go back to their town halls and claim that their “hands are tied” when facing angry constituents. Because they know, as long as they play ball with the Dems and don’t rock the boat too much, they get invited to the best parties and let in on all the sweetheart deals to get wealthy. Dems will do whatever it takes to win, and they don’t care who they have to crush/destroy to achieve that. The bottom line is that Dems are in it to win it. Republicans are in it just to get paid.

Why would any republican vote for a bill that does not close the border, says that the government MAY limit the number to 5000 per day, or will limit at around 8000, but then also gives Biden the authority to override the entire thing if he deems it necessary? Do they not understand the difference between "may" and "shall" or does everyone think we are too dumb to know the difference? In any event, this is an abomination of a bill and the House better kill it if the senate uniparty folks manage to pass it.

The Border Bill is kinda like a political Rorschach ink blot. People see whatever they want to see. But there are only a few interpretations that make sense.

Lankford's does NOT.

Apparently, mishandling of classified docs is endemic among POTUSes. Unfortunately for We The People, "everybody does it" is an excuse at that level.

Unfortunately for Trump, he went beyond that due to his obstruction, and he's likely to get nailed in a classic "it's not the crime, it's the coverup" case. Remains to be seen if the Trumpenproletariat will understand that...but then again... "Nixon just got caught" if you're of sufficient age to remember that one.

Remember Kids! Authority hates being disrespected more than it hates being disobeyed. With disrespect, you are challenging their authority--and in particular their power and competence--directly.

Re authority: Mockery is one of our most powerful weapons against them.

One point eight million illegal entries PER YEAR are allowed in the Senate immigration bill. Break the law and get rewarded: The Biden / Democrat Party Way Of Life.

It is per year, but otherwise yes. And some people don't seem to notice it says the government MAY limit the number to 5000 per day, not SHALL LIMIT. And there is also a provision that allows Biden to OVERRIDE THE ENTIRE THING if he deems it necessary.

Corrected my stoopid math error. Thanks!

Let's see: Governor Abbott of Texas challenges President Biden on the border - President Biden's Energy Department has "never" rejected a Permit; now Biden's Energy Department is looking into the impact on the climate. Interesting. Former President Trump in the early stages of the primary seemed like he was going to be the nominee; then President Biden's Blue States' Attorneys General, District Attorneys and his DOJ all at the same time indict Trump on his "ham sandwiches" they discovered. Hmm!

"A new story from The Wall Street Journal (paywall) today says that candidates who Putin allows to run against him, do so on principle but under no illusion that they can win".

Doesn't should too much different than what's going on in this country. See: Trump; RFK, Jr.; No Labels; etc. I'm not a third-party guy, but the lengths the D's are going to keep people off the ballot sure does help protect "their democracy", but not ours.

If certain people are having to lie to kill the immigration bill, what does that tell us? Is it better than what we have now, or not? Also, helping our overseas allies under attack cannot be a “Democrat issue.”

Who is lying about the bill? Other than the people who put it together.

You must not have listened to Erick’s opening monologue.

Also, how could any republican vote for a bill that does not close the bill and includes a provision that allows Biden to override any restrictions on the illegal entries if he finds a reason to do so?

No, I read but don't listen.

Killer Mike gave a profound presentation on free speech at a FIRE conference last year. I had remembered him from what he said during the BLM riots in Atlanta, which was also quite good.
