Biden's deadly border fiasco

 Dale Wilcox:

After a tragic human-smuggling fiasco that left dozens of illegal aliens dead in San Antonio, Joe Biden's White House is still offering a lot of excuses but zero solutions.

At least 53 illegal aliens were killed while attempting to make the treacherous journey to the U.S. at the end of last month.  The man accused of driving the truck in which they died was allegedly "very high on meth" behind the wheel and is just one of several to have been arrested so far in connection with this tragedy.

One would think the discovery of a tractor trailer with 53 dead border-crossers inside it would make the White House rethink its enforcement strategies, but the administration's response thus far has largely been a mix of deflection and victim-blaming.

In his statement, Biden correctly slammed human-smuggling operations for their callous attitude toward human life, but he offered no indication that he is planning a course correction away from the anti-enforcement policies that have done so much to empower the human-smugglers.  For his part, when questioned on the Sunday shows, Department of Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared to place blame for the tragedy at the feet of the migrants:

"We have said repeatedly and we continue to warn people not to take the dangerous journey," Mayorkas said. "They put their lives, their life savings, in the hands of these exploitative organizations, these criminal organizations that do not care for their lives and only seek to make a profit." 

Meanwhile, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to accept any blame for the tragedy, preposterously claiming that the administration has "closed" the border.

Jean-Pierre's resort to that bald-faced lie is telling.  For it is glaringly obvious to all that this tragedy is an inevitable result of the administration's drastic and deliberate border stand-down.  While administration officials have occasionally told would-be illegal aliens not to make the dangerous and difficult journey to the U.S., their policies have sent exactly the opposite message, and ultimately policies matter more than rhetoric.  When the Biden administration resettles one million illegal aliens into the U.S. in its first year in office, the message sent to would-be migrants is clear: if you survive the treacherous journey to America, the U.S. government will not only allow you to stay in the country, but actively facilitate your resettlement in the bargain.

...

Biden's immigration policy is a disaster for the immigrants and for the US.  It is an absurd policy of non-enforcement of US immigration laws.  It is worthy of Biden's impeachment.  Trump's policy was more humane and more effective.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
