Harris wasn't Biden's first choice for border czar: she was his 2nd choice

"Hi, I'm Kamala Harris and I'm useless, hahahahaha"

Vice President Kamala "Speaks Through Three Holes" Harris, while campaigning to become the first female [whatever that is] not exactly Black President of the United States, is disavowing her role as border czar bestowed on her by our so called President Joseph Biden.

The media has gone berserk over this label because they know that she was an absolute useless border czar and the claims made by these meatballs are verifiably false as MRC shows in a melange of media reporting over time.

PolitiFact wrote, "Claims that President Joe Biden named Harris the ‘border czar’ and that she is responsible for overseeing U.S. border enforcement gained prominence at the Republican National Convention as the party sought to link her to his immigration policy. Biden didn’t put Harris in charge of overseeing border security.”

Really?

Axios wrote, “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title – which she never actually had.”

“Kamala Harris Was Never Biden’s ‘Border Czar,’” TIME Magazine claimed. 

A USA Today "fact check" headline said, "Harris' border work was on 'root causes' of migration; she wasn't in charge." Axios wrote, “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title – which she never actually had.”

Although Harris was not officially given the title "border czar"--because it's too Russian-sounding--many lefty Russophiles in the media used that label to describe Harris' assigned border role. Biden tasked her specifically with addressing the root causes of migration from Central America and working with the countries in the region, emphasizing diplomatic efforts to manage and reduce the flow of migrants heading to the U.S.-Mexico border. 

Her mandate was broader than just border enforcement; it was about tackling systemic issues in those countries to create lasting solutions, which she failed at miserably.

Harris was not Biden's first border czar; she was the second woman chosen as border czar by the alleged president.

After only 100 days as border czar, Roberta Jacobson, President Joe Biden’s first border czar, left the role on April 9, 2021, after already “grappling with large increases of migrants attempting to cross into the U.S.,” Even The Los Angeles Times reported, saying, “Biden’s border czar … is stepping down.”

Yes, even the comrades at the LA Times referred to the position as border czar.

However, before Jacobson stepped down, Biden announced at a March 24, 2021 news conference that Kamala Hahaharris would be responsible for addressing the southwest border surge that already began within days of him taking office. “I can think of nobody who's better qualified to do this than the former” California attorney general, Biden mumbled.

Harris was chosen to lead the effort as border czar because “the best thing to do is to put someone [in the role] when he or she speaks they don't have to wonder about where the president is,” Biden read carefully. “When she speaks, she speaks for me. She doesn’t have to check with me. She knows what she's doing. I hope we can move this along [to address the] increasing challenges at our southwest border. No one knows this better than the vice president.”

In that inimitable way she has, Harris said both through her mouth and nostrils,  “There's no question that this is a challenging situation. While we are clear that people should not come to the border now, we also understand that we will enforce the law. Because we can chew gum and walk at the same time, we must address the root causes that cause people to make the trek.” She also looked forward to working with Congress “to address root causes of migration. Needless to say, the work will not be easy, but it is important work.”

Just a normal Tuesday at the border: thanks Kamala

It was so challenging that she couldn't find her way to the porous border if the fairies dropped breadcrumbs along the way.

Multiple news outlets gleefully reported on the announcement, including The Washington Post, The Hill, the Associated Press, Axios, Politico, Reuters, The Huffington Post,  NBC News and even Fox News, to name the biggies.

The social media site X fact checked Axios' recent claim using one of its own articles, stating, “On April 14, 2021, Axios' Shawna Chen confirmed Kamala Harris had been appointed Biden's ‘Border Czar.’ 

If that isn't clear enough, Chen wrote: "Harris, appointed by Biden as border czar, said she would be looking at the ‘root causes’ that drive migration."

Since Harris was tapped as border czar, The Center Square has published 69 news stories covering the border crisis as it relates to the border czar. House Republicans this week filed two articles of impeachment against Harris, one over her role in addressing the border crisis. The other article against her might be her level of confused verbiage--she may not be demented like someone we know, but her word salads should come with a dressing.

But seriously, Harris has not event made an attempt to do her assigned job.

Biden’s March 24, 2021, announcement was made after members of Congress toured a federal detention facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas, where 700 unaccompanied minors were being held. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, (D-Laredo), posted images of them sleeping on concrete floors in response to media outlets being denied access by the Biden administration. The left tried to blame this situation on Trump, but it's hard to argue with visual proof.

Earlier that month, Cuellar warned, “We are weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border. Inaction is simply not an option. Our country is currently unprepared to handle a surge in migrants.”

Harris was not only unprepared to handle a surge, it was apparent that she welcomed it, as did alleged President Joseph Biden. The border was a sieve of illegal aliens flooding into the country where now the left wants to give these non-citizens not only taxpayer benefits, but the right to vote in US elections!

Harris never visited the facility or Cuellar’s district. Since then, more than 12 million foreign nationals have illegally entered the country under Harris the Border Czar. She only visited a port of entry in El Paso on June 25, 2021, which is 800 miles away from the real crisis in the Rio Grande Valley.

On March 31, 2021, Abbott sent his first letter to Harris, stating, "Now that President Biden has named you Border Czar in charge of the administration’s response, I want to express to you the threats and challenges caused by this administration’s open border policies. These policies embolden and enrich cartels, smugglers, and human traffickers who continue to ramp up their criminal operations. Given your new role as the administration’s Border Czar, I urge you to visit the border to see the crisis for yourself, and … to take swift action to secure the border, crack down on human trafficking, and prevent more children from being trafficked and abused."

As calls grew for Harris to visit the border and respond to the crisis, by an April 20, 2022, press briefing White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked, “Does the president still have confidence” in Harris as border czar. She replied by confirming Harris' role as border czar, “He absolutely does.”

Abbott maintains, "‘Border Czar’ Harris has NOT done her job to secure the border. Innocent Americans have lost their lives, law enforcement has been assaulted, and fentanyl has killed thousands.” He’s also called on Americans to vote for Trump to secure the border.

I say vote for Trump to secure peace and prosperity for the country. Harris will not bring us peace--she will bring us far-left policies and show the world her weakness.

Elizabeth 'Dances with Dingbats' Warren compares abortion to a tonsillectomy

Warren on the warpath

Sen. Elizabeth Warren in her incredibly shrill and annoying voice has on several occasions compared killing an unborn baby in the womb is like having your tonsils taken out. 

But a new fact check by Politifact may have obfuscated the truth and fooled some voters.

On Wednesday, the far left propaganda machine ran the headline: “The Elizabeth Warren quote likening abortion to tonsil removal? It’s edited and taken out of context.”

LifeNews.com reports:

Politifact based its fact check on a post about Warren that Facebook recently flagged as “fake news.” 

According to the “fact check”: 

The post features a photo of the Massachusetts senator with text above and below the image that reads: “‘Having an abortion is no different than someone having their tonsils removed.’ – Liberal Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren. Yes she really said this and is really this d— crazy and stupid!” 

The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.

It is not clear where the post came from, and it was soon removed. It appears to have been a hand-made graphic, not an article or post from a news site or blog.

tonsils

Politifact rated the post “mostly false,” calling it “heavily edited” and taken out of context, but they are lying. Warren made the comparison between an unborn baby and a tonsillectomy.

On Jan. 21, 2018, Warren wrote a column for Time magazine to celebrate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade:

“On the 45th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, I think about what has changed since abortions became legal. Our healthcare system has pretty much dealt with the safety issue: thanks to Roe vs. Wade, abortion is now safer than getting your tonsils out.”

So if you want to check facts, avoid using Politifact.

Later in July of last year, she wrote basically the same thing in piece published in Marie Claire.

“When abortions are illegal, women don’t stop getting them— they just risk their lives to do it. Today, thanks to Roe, getting an abortion is safer than getting your tonsils out. Before Roe v. Wade, many women turned to back-alley butchers to end their pregnancies.”

The pro-life watchdog group Operation Rescue refuted evidence about the safety of abortion recently, comparing the number of ambulance transports from colonoscopy clinics [where Warren would go for a tonsillectomy based on where her tonsils are located] in Missouri, to those from the state’s only abortion facility. It found that the frequency of ambulance transports for patient emergencies was four and a half times higher at the abortion clinic.

baby

Evidence from former abortion clinic workers, patients and state health inspection reports indicate that abortion facilities frequently do not always report patient complications.

More importantly,  according to Planned Parenthood and the Guttmacher Institute, most women did not seek back alley abortions prior to Roe, as Warren tried to make us believe.

According to Dr. Mary Calderone, the medical director of Planned Parenthood wrote in 1960:

“… about 90 percent of all illegal abortions are presently being done by physicians…Whatever trouble arises usually arises from self-induced abortions, which comprise approximately 8 percent, or with the very small percentage that go to some kind of non-medical abortionist…So remember…abortion, whether therapeutic or illegal, is in the main no longer dangerous, because it is being done well by physicians.”

An abortion is nothing like a tonsillectomy. In the latter, a tiny organ of the mother is removed to prevent complications. In the former, a baby is killed, usually inside the mother, to prevent life complications of raising a child. Also, evidence suggest that abortions aren't safe for the mother either.

BREAKING: Obama knowingly funded an Al Qaeda affiliate, report reveals

Barack Hussein Obama knowingly funded an Al-Qaeda affiliate, a new report revealed on Wednesday.

Knowingly--that's the operant word.

The Obama administration provided an Islamic terrorist-financing organization with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and just because the group doesn't personally do the beheading and killing with their own hands, doesn't make them any less culpable for the terrorism of their henchmen.

Obama was well aware the Khartoum-based Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA) was a terrorist-finance agency--it was designated such for a decade by the government. In spite of this, his administration approved the release of well over $100,000 AFTER they were informed ISRA was affiliated with Osama bin Laden and Maktab al-Khidamat (MK), which later became al-Qaeda.

ISRA received a $200,000 taxpayer-funded grant from the Obama administration, which released no less than $115,000 to the terrorist-financing organization, according to National Review:

According to the U.S. Treasury, in 1997 ISRA established formal cooperation with MK. By 2000, ISRA had raised $5 million for bin Laden's group. The Treasury Department notes that ISRA officials even sought to help "relocate [bin Laden] to secure safe harbor for him." It further reports that ISRA raised funds in 2003 in Western Europe specifically earmarked for Hamas suicide bombings.

Perhaps this was Obama's strategy for defeating the extremists--let them blow themselves up with explosives we paid for.

The 2004 designation included all of ISRA's branches, including a U.S. office called the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA-USA). Eventually it became known that this American branch had illegally transferred over $1.2 million to Iraqi insurgents and other terror groups, including, reportedly, the Afghan terrorist Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

In July 2014 the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) approved $723,405 of our taxpayer funds to be sent to World Vision Inc., and from that money, "$200,000 was to be directed to a sub-grantee: ISRA," the National Review noted.

This was done even though World Vision told USAID in 2014 that ISRA was on the terrorist organization watch list and subsequently had to wait until the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) could assess the situation before releasing any funds to these scum-buckets.

In January 2015, OFAC confirmed that ISRA was a designated terrorist organization and rejected World Vision from getting "a license to engage in transactions with [ISRA]."

Even though OFAC ruled ISRA to be a terrorist organization, World Vision wrote to OFAC and Jeremy Konyndyk of the Obama administration (who then served as director of USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance) requesting to apply for a new license from USAID to pay ISRA "monies owed for work performed."

Larry Meserve, USAID's mission director for Sudan, asserted that World Vision argued that if they didn't pay ISRA "their whole program will be jeopardized." ...

Low and behold, on May 7, 2015--after "close collaboration and consultation with the Department of State" OFAC went ahead and issued a license to World Vision International, a World Vision affiliate. The license authorized a "one-time transfer of approximately $125,000 to ISRA," whereby "$115,000 was for services performed under the sub-award with USAID" and $10,000 was "for an unrelated funding arrangement between Irish Aid and World Vision."

This is exactly why terrorist organizations grew and prospered under the Obama administration.

"[In 2014], when the U.S. first began its campaign against the terror group, ISIS had a presence in seven countries," The Hill reported in 2016. "That figure rose to 13 in 2015, and today the White House document shows that ISIS is operating in 18 countries."

And to demonstrate just where Obama's sympathies lied, he killed a huge investigation into Hezbollah, allowing them to "become one of the biggest transnational organized crime groups in the world," DEA supervisory agent Jack Kelly told Politico.

Barack Obama tried to convince the public that his failure to reduce or contain terrorism never happened and "the number of terrorist incidents [had] not substantially increased," even the left-leaning Politifact rated his statement as "mostly false."

And John Brennan, the guy who voted for a Communist, calls President Trump a "traitor."

But what's breathtaking is how the left continuously gets away with their seditious behavior.

Ocasio-Cortez and her casual relationship with the truth

"I've come for the children"

Democratic socialist and congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is either a liar or an idiot--she cannot be both but she is definitely in one of those categories.

The 28-year-old Ocasio-Cortez bloviated that the reason the U.S. unemployment rate is so low [under President Trump] is because "everyone has two jobs" and "working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their family."

Politifact rated her balderdash statement "pants on fire."

"In our review, we found many reasons why unemployment is low, and not for the overwork that Ocasio-Cortez cited," they wrote. "The biggest factors include strong economic confidence and the long-running economic recovery."

The article cited Department of Labor statistics stating that merely six to seven million Americans have multiple jobs compared to 148 million who have one job. "So by the official statistics, multiple job holders account for a tiny fraction of American workers," the reported. This has been nearly the same margin since the recovery from the Great Recession.

Politifact also showed how her statement that Americans are working far more hours than the typical 40-hour week: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics breaks down its count of people with multiple jobs into three categories: people working one full-time job and one part-time job; people with two part-time jobs; and people working two full-time jobs."

Only 310,000 out of 150 million Americans are currently working 70 or 80 hours a week.

It's beginning to look as if Ocasio-Cortez is morphing into a female version of Joe Biden.

Her remarks about Israel were nothing more than false talking points and she apparently doesn't know the representative color of the Democratic Party, thinking it's red, not blue.

She also tries to make everyone think she comes from a poor family in the Bronx. Her family left the Bronx when she was a pre-schooler and her father opened a successful architectural business.

Perhaps she sample too much of the product when she worked as a bartender.
