Tuesday’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee was provided by Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who looked into President Biden’s possession of secret documents after he left as vice president under former President Barack Obama. 

Hur faced intense questioning from Republicans over his determination that there was not enough evidence to prosecute Biden. Democrats, on the other hand, criticized him for making derogatory comments regarding Biden’s mental capacity in his report. These remarks included referring to him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” and someone with “diminished faculties in advancing age.”

Here are a few takeaways:

Both sides launched attacks against Hur.

Certain portions of Hur’s report did not sit well with members of either party. Republicans expressed their displeasure that Biden was not prosecuted, citing a criminal indictment against former President Donald J. Trump, which charges him with deliberately holding onto classified national security information. Meanwhile, Democrats said that Hur had broken Justice Department policy by disparaging Biden’s mental capacity.

Representative Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), claimed that Hur had purposefully supplied fodder to “play into the Republicans’ narrative that the president is unfit for office because he is senile.” He pointed to Biden’s “animated” delivery of the State of the Union speech as evidence that this description was untrue.

However, many social media users chimed in and expressed that it seemed like Biden took an Adderall pill or some other kind of “upper” drug before the address, since his upbeat energy was untypical of him and he looked to have dilated pupils. 

Johnson accused Hur, a former Trump political appointee, of “doing everything you can to get President Trump re-elected so that you can get appointed as a federal judge or perhaps to another position in the Department of Justice,” after forcing him to admit that he is a registered Republican.

“Partisan politics had no place whatsoever in my work, it had no place in the investigative steps that I took, it had no place in the decision that I made, and it had no place in a single word of my report,” Hur asserted.

On the other hand, Representative Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) claimed that Hur was shielding Biden from what he perceived to be a politicized double standard by the Justice Department.

“I want to thank you for the work you have done as far as you can, but unfortunately, you are part of the Praetorian Guard that guards the swamp out here in Washington, D.C., protecting the elites — and Joe Biden is part of that company of the elites,” Tiffany said.

The session was mostly dominated by attempts to gain political points.

Other than Biden’s mental cognition, Hur’s evidence was mostly clear during the hearing. Republicans highlighted how Biden is a criminal who has gotten away with his crimes because, in the words of Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), “the elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top” and he is a “senile cooperator.”

Biden’s allies tried to insinuate that Hur’s report represented an exoneration of the president as soon as it was made public last month. According to their account, Biden was “innocent,” as Hur claims that he was unable to gather enough evidence to prosecute the president.

Following her claim that Hur cleared the president, Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) attempted to move on with her remarks. “I did not ‘exonerate’ him—that word does not appear in the report,” Hur said, shooting back. Under questioning from both sides, he reiterated that fact numerous times.

Throughout the entire hearing, Hur remained motionless and seldom objected to questions from congressmen, even when their claims ran counter to what he had written or stated, unless he was personally defending himself.

Republicans, such as Representative Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.), utilized their time to compare the improper possession of classified documents by Biden and Trump. However, Hur remained silent and repeated the findings of his report, which stated that there are “several material distinctions.”

During the following eight months of the 2024 presidential campaign, when Biden will confront Trump again, some of the most heated debates will most likely center on the president’s age and cognitive ability.

Concerns about Biden’s age among voters from both parties have plagued him for months. At 81, he is already the oldest president to be elected. Although he and his supporters have downplayed those worries, Hur’s report detailed memory issues that he experienced during a five-hour interview.

Republicans continued to highlight the president’s mental cognition on multiple occasions on Tuesday, but Hur would not discuss anything beyond what was written in his report. Democrats, meanwhile, fiercely disputed Hur’s claim that he was not acting politically.

“You were not born yesterday,” said Representative Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.). “You understood exactly what you were doing. It was a choice.”

Hur’s denial that he cleared Biden will be “political gold” for the president’s opponents in the upcoming 2024 election.

Biden’s Gaza Pier is More Than a Disappointed Bridge

By

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/03/bidens-pier-is-more-than-a-disappointed-bridge; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Joe Biden thinks the solution to the hunger problem in Gaza is for the U.S. to build a floating pier on the coast of the Strip, and to deliver food aid to Gaza by ship. Vessels laden with food would first be examined by the IDF at a port in Cyprus, then set sail for this pier on the Gazan coast, where food would be loaded onto waiting trucks that would then take their cargo to distribution points throughout Gaza. Biden apparently does not realize that the problem with food in Gaza is not that there is not enough of it, but that Hamas steals so much of it for its own members and their families: it is a problem not of quantity, but of improper distribution. Right now, 150 trucks, each one carrying 12,000 kilograms of food (aside from medicine), enter Gaza each day. That is a total of 1,800,000 kilograms of food per day, or 0.78 kilograms of food for each of the 2,300,000 residents of Gaza, most of whom are children. 0.78 kilograms is 1.72 pounds of food for each inhabitant. That would be enough food if it were evenly distributed, but it isn’t.

Much of that food aid is immediately seized — hijacked — by Hamas, which keeps a good deal of it for its own fighters and their extended families, and sells some of what remains at wildly inflated prices to civilians who scrape together what they can to buy this food stolen by the terror group. More on this fatally flawed plan, which Biden unveiled so proudly in his State of the Union speech, can be found here: “The floating pier plan will fail." Here’s why.” Elder of Ziyon, March 8, 2024:

During the State of the Union address, President Biden stated:

Tonight, I’m directing the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the coast of Gaza that can receive large shipments carrying food, water, medicine and temporary shelters.

No U.S. boots will be on the ground. A temporary pier will enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.

And Israel must do its part. Israel must allow more aid into Gaza to ensure humanitarian workers aren’t caught in the crossfire. They’re announcing they’re going to have a crossing to northern Gaza.

Elder of Ziyon comments:

The Gaza pier plan will not work.

The problem with aid distribution is that Hamas keeps trying to disrupt it, so Israel would be blamed for the resultant suffering. They are hijacking aid, shooting into crowds, instigating riots and in general trying to make it look like Israel cannot keep the peace the way Hamas could.

Hamas is not interested in alleviating the suffering of people in Gaza. Its entire history testifies to that supreme indifference. Three Hamas leaders — Khaled Meshaal, Mousa bin Marzouk, and Ismail Haniyeh — have stolen a total of $11 billion that was meant to be shared by the people of Gaza. And now Hamas, instead of distributing in an orderly fashion the food that remains once Hamas has taken its share, creates pandemonium around the trucks of food aid. Hamas operatives fired into the air, creating panic, encouraging rioters to assault the trucks and their drivers, in attempts to seize as much food as they could for themselves and their families. Violence and hysteria have frightened some truck drivers into attempting to step on the gas; an Egyptian truck driver was beaten to death by a Palestinian mob when he did so. In this mess, rioting Gazans not only stampede one another to death, but some have fallen under the wheels of slowly moving trucks. Hamas uses such heart-rending scenes to accuse the IDF of having created these food riots, when the IDF has done nothing more than watch and try, from a distance, to keep the rioters’ murderous impulses in check by firing warning shots into the air.

Bringing aid into Gaza has not been the primary problem; getting it to the people safely has been. It is a lot easier to disrupt delivery than to do the logistics of distribution.

The IDF is good at logistics but this is an entirely different problem. Hamas is even turning food distribution into a military action where civilians must be protected from their own purported people who can pop up from tunnels and shoot at them to start the next stampede easier than they can shoot the IDF.

The more stampedes there are around the food aid trucks, and the subsequent deaths of Gazans, the more the IDF — rather than Hamas — is blamed for this breakdown in order. Just as Hamas wants.

Biden, Kamala Send Ramadan Message Empathizing With Hamas Supporters

A very special genocidal Ramadan message.

To commemorate the Islamic period of Ramadan, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris reached out to Muslims to express sympathy for the pain they’re feeling at having failed to kill all the Jews.

“The sacred month is a time for reflection and renewal. This year comes at a moment of immense pain. The war in Gaza has inflicted terrible suffering on the Palestinian people,” Biden messaged those Muslims who are deeply upset at their failure to wipe out the Jews in the months since Oct 7.

While Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and other Islamic terrorist groups have tried hard, Biden acknowledged that they have fallen short of their highest aspirations.

“As Muslims gather around the world over the coming days and weeks to break their fast, the suffering of the Palestinian people will be front of mind for many. "It is front of mind for me,” he added, assuring Muslims who have been very unhappy that since Oct 7, more Islamic terrorists than Jews have been killed in the fighting.

“To Muslims across our country, please know that you are deeply valued members of our American family,” Biden also assured Muslims worried that their blatant support for terrorism might have alienated some Americans. “To those who are grieving during this time of war, I hear you, I see you.”

Vice President Kamala Harris also made a point of reaching out to Muslims deeply upset at the fairly small number of Jews who had been killed.

“I know that there is great pain in the community. What we are seeing every day in Gaza is devastating,” Kamala empathized with Muslims upset at the catastrophic defeat suffered by Hamas.

“President Biden and I will continue to work to ease the suffering in Gaza and support the right of the Palestinian people to dignity, freedom, and self-determination,” Kamala assured those Muslims still hoping that Hamas will win and the Jews will die.

Biden Will Send 1,000 Troops to Bring Aid to Gazans, 0 to Retrieve Hostages

And 0 to secure America’s own border.

There are people on social media who spend their time claiming that American soldiers will fight and die for Israel.

Anyone who knows anything about the Biden administration also recognizes that for the joke that it is.

There are 6 Americans still held hostage in Gaza. After the Oct 7 attack, the administration was asked if it would send in a rescue force to get any of the Americans who were held hostage out then. The answer was no.

But Biden is finally sending in the troops. Not to save the hostages from Hamas, but to build a nice pier to supply aid to Hamas supporters in Gaza.

A floating pier and causeway that will be used to deliver critical humanitarian aid by sea to Gaza is expected to take at least a month or possibly as long as two for the US military to build and become fully operational, Pentagon press secretary Maj. Patrick Ryder said on Friday.

Ryder also said construction of the pier and causeway will likely require as many as 1,000 US military personnel to be completed.

Are any of those personnel going to be in danger?

The official word from the administration is that there will be no ‘boots on the ground’, just in the water. That’s borderline meaningless. And it’s not just Hamas there. The Houthis and Hezbollah have taken to lobbying rockets around, and the presence of a sizable contingent of vulnerable U.S. personnel will draw them like flies.

Two months is a whole lot of time in which to plan and execute an attack.

Biden has sent 0 troops to rescue the hostages from Hamas, but he’s sending 1,000 into a war zone to provide aid to Hamas supporters.

He’s also refused to use the military to secure our border by ending the flow of migrant invaders across it.

But once again, Biden has found a way to use the military to aid our enemies. He won’t use the military to protect America, but he’ll use it to send aid to Hamas.

In State of the Union Speech, Biden Parrots Hamas Statistics

  BY 

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/03/in-state-of-the-union-speech-biden-parrots-hamas-statistics; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

In his State of the Union speech, Joe Biden repeated, without any hint of skepticism, the figure put out by Hamas, unverified and unverifiable, of the number of Gazans killed in the current war. This is quite a change for the President. On October 26, when asked by a reporter about Hamas’ figures on casualties, Biden replied “I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and it’s the price of waging a war.”

Then, after adding that Israel should be “careful” about “going after the folks that are propagating this war,” he reiterated skepticism of the casualty number: “I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using.”

That was then. But on March 7, he had apparently decided that he could have every confidence in Hamas figures, for he relied on them in his speech, without a hint of his former skepticism. What changed his mind? Could it have been the desire to justify the pressure his administration is now putting on Israel, trying to get it to agree to a very long ceasefire, and to refrain from entering Rafah, which the Israeli government believes it must do if it is to eliminate Hamas as a military threat? Biden is no longer interested in expressing skepticism about Hamas figures; he accepts — or publicly pretends to, which is even worse — the figures put out by Hamas.

More on this volte-face can be found here: “Biden parrots Hamas propaganda in State of the Union speech,” Elder of Ziyon, March 8, 2024:

During President Biden’s State of the Union address last night, he said:

This war has taken a greater toll on innocent civilians than all previous wars in Gaza combined. More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of whom are not Hamas.

Biden just confirmed and validated the biggest Hamas lie  about the war.

There is no source for the “30,000” number besides Hamas. None whatsoever. And we know Hamas lied about the death tolls of various specific events during the war, especially those that were blamed on Israel but were actually done by terrorists.

Hamas routinely lies about the “innocent civilians” killed by the Israelis. Remember the claim about a “massacre at Jenin,” when Hamas and other terror groups accused the IDF of killing “500 civilians,” and it was later confirmed that there had been no massacre, but a firefight in which 52 Palestinians, at least 45 of whom were confirmed to be combatants, were killed. In the current war in Gaza, Hamas reported that an Israeli airstrike had hit the Al-Ahli Hospital, killing 500 people. After a thorough investigation, both American and Israeli intelligence concluded that there had been no Israeli airstrike. Instead, a rocket launched from Gaza at Israel by Palestinian Islamic Jihad had misfired and fallen short, inside Gaza, landing not on the hospital itself but on the parking lot beside it. And there were not “500 killed,” but rather, between 10 and 50.The latest tall tale was Hamas’ claim that IDF soldiers had killed up to 100 innocent civilians queuing for food; the IDF never fired on those Palestinians. It did explain that it had fired warning shots as some Palestinians – there were 12,000 besieging those trucks laden with food – came toward them, and then, when some Palestinians came within several meters of the IDF forces, the IDF used live fire; it estimates it may have killed “at most” ten people who had refused to stop after the warning shots, but were moving menacingly toward them.

Abraham Wyner, Professor of Statistics and Data Science at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, wrote an article in Tablet this week that showed how unlikely the casualty figures from the Gaza health ministry are from a statistical viewpoint, looking at the first weeks of the war when the ministry broke down the alleged women and children casualties.

On the days with many women casualties there should be large numbers of children casualties, and on the days when just a few women are reported to have been killed, just a few children should be reported. This relationship can be measured and quantified by the R-square (R2 ) statistic that measures how correlated the daily casualty count for women is with the daily casualty count for children. If the numbers were real, we would expect R2 to be substantively larger than 0, tending closer to 1.0. But R2 is .017 which is statistically and substantively not different from 0.

The daily number of children reported to have been killed is totally unrelated to the number of women reported. The R2 is .017 and the relationship is statistically and substantively insignificant. This lack of correlation is the second circumstantial piece of evidence suggesting the numbers are not real. But there is more. The daily number of women casualties should be highly correlated with the number of non-women and non-children (i.e., men) reported. Again, this is expected because of the nature of battle. The ebbs and flows of the bombings and attacks by Israel should cause the daily count to move together. But that is not what the data show. Not only is there not a positive correlation, there is a strong negative correlation, which makes no sense at all and establishes the third piece of evidence that the numbers are not real.

…Another red flag… is that if 70% of the casualties are women and children and 25% of the population is adult male, then either Israel is not successfully eliminating Hamas fighters or adult male casualty counts are extremely low. This by itself strongly suggests that the numbers are at a minimum grossly inaccurate and quite probably outright faked. 

But we know from the IDF that so far — by mid-March — it has managed to kill between 13,000 and 15,000 Hamas fighters, that is, about 50% of the total pre-war number of Hamas fighters.

Why should the Bidenites care? By now repeating such Hamas casualty figures uncritically, Biden hopes to win back those disaffected Arab voters in “critically important” Michigan, and all those “young progressives” across the land who are apparently exercised by the administration’s refusal to be sufficiently anti-Israel. The State of the Union message must have pleased them. Surely accepting Hamas’ lies is a small price to pay — it only hurts Israel, after all — to ensure the reelection of Joe Biden.

While Gazans Throw US Aid in Trash, Biden Builds Pier to Bring Them More

If only Biden had spent as much time helping the people of East Palestine as he did helping the “Palestinians.”

The media is saturated with Hamas propaganda falsely claiming that Gazans are “starving to death”.

The reality is that there’s food as can be seen in social media videos Gazans post. Prices are higher, but no one is starving to death.

There’s so much food that they’re throwing away the airdropped food we and others send to them.

But Biden will use the State of the Union address to announce that the U.S. will launch an “emergency mission” to build a pier that will be used to deliver aid by water.

It will take “a number of weeks” to get the temporary pier built and running, one of the officials briefing reporters said, adding that the US hopes that the port will turn into “a commercially operated facility over time.”

The officials clarified that the project will not require US boots on the ground in Gaza. Instead, US military personnel will be present on vessels offshore while the pier is being built.

“We’re not waiting on the Israelis. This is a moment for American leadership, and we are building a coalition of countries to address this urgent need,” one of the senior officials says.

The Biden admin knows that US military personnel will not be safe in Gaza, but millions of dollars will be spent to build a pier to send aid that the Gazans don’t even want and that someone in the admin hopes will become a “commercial facility.”

That’s what they think “American leadership” looks like.

Apart from wasting taxpayer money, this is building infrastructure that, unless Israel finishes off Hamas, will fall into the hands of terrorists.

If only Biden had spent as much time helping the people of East Palestine as he did helping the ‘Palestinians’.

Biden Uses State of the Union to Threaten Civil War

Not even Obama violated political norms the way Biden just did.

[Make sure to read Daniel Greenfield’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]

Joseph Robinette Biden began his final State of the Union address by invoking FDR. But while Biden has nearly as much trouble getting around as FDR, he didn’t lead a nation out of a depression, but into one, and he didn’t win a war, he did however lose several.

Including a personal war with his diction and his teleprompter at the State of the Union.

Biden’s addresses have gotten longer as he has had less to say. Last year’s State of the Union was the 8th longest on record and this year’s clocks in behind Obama’s 2010 rant. The only reason it wasn’t even longer is that Biden rushed to get through it, mumbling and slurring words, rattling off threats and insults at a speed that made them all but impossible to understand.

Usually presidents use the podium to make promises and take credit for past accomplishments, but there’s not much of that here and so Biden began his speech name-dropping presidents who people liked better than him (a long list) and threatening and berating Republicans.

A few breaths after implicitly comparing himself to FDR during WWII, Biden then compared himself to Lincoln during the Civil War (“not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today”) and then President Reagan before launching an attack on President Trump.

The State of the Union isn’t a place to attack opposing candidates. Bush didn’t take potshots at Kerry in his State of the Union speech and even Obama didn’t mention Romney in his.

And yet Biden attacked Trump a few minutes into his. And then did it again. And again.

But this was not a State of the Union address, it was a fascistic campaign rally of the kind that he had been giving for years, most disturbingly while flanked by Marines at Independence Hall before the 2022 midterms, declaring war on Trump, Republicans and all political opponents.

After accusing Republicans of being in thrall to Russia and then of being “insurrectionists”, he falsely claimed that they were preventing women from getting IVF procedures. (In reality, no one’s IVF procedures were threatened and Alabama rushed through a bill protecting IVF in record time .) That was then followed by attacking Republicans over abortion.

None of this material belongs in a State of the Union address which is not a campaign rally, but a presidential review of the year, and calls for bipartisan cooperation on national priorities. No president has ever delivered a deranged partisan hate-fest of a speech like this at the SOTU.

Not even Obama ever went that far. Not even Obama violated the State of the Union’s norms.

Biden’s State of the Union rant would have been more ominous if it also hadn’t been pathetic. The speechwriters reached (as they always do at these events) for the grandiose, but came off as bellicose, and in Biden’s mouth, even the bellicose became the quavering rattlings of an angry old man who had spent too much time reading Stephen Ambrose and listening to NPR.

Much of Biden’s address had to be reconstructed from the transcript because it was indecipherable. His hands and lips shaking, Biden spoke of strength, but showed only weakness, invoked historical figures only to show how unworthy he was of them.

The threats and attacks on Republicans gave way to absurd boasts. And while presidents always claim credit for more than they accomplished, Biden’s could only occasion eye rolling.

Biden claimed that “our economy is the envy of the world”, that inflation “is the lowest in the world”, that there is “historic job growth”, and that unemployment is “at 50-year lows”.

Why didn’t Biden begin by bragging about these incredible accomplishments? Why bury them toward the middle of his speech? Because not only are they lies, but no one believes them.

Since no one believes them, Biden moved on to promising free stuff. A cap on prescription drug costs, more tax credits for mortgages, universal pre-k, and student loan payoffs. With a $34 trillion national debt, there’s no money for any of that or for any of his other promises. We’re on the way to $1 trillion in interest payments a year thanks to his previous spending sprees.

Desperate for material, Biden warned senior citizens that “Republicans will cut Social Security and give more tax cuts to the wealthy” and promised to pass a bill legislating how many chips there should be in a bag of chips.

All that a bag of chips indeed.

In between attacking Republicans, Biden also attacked Israel for not caring enough about ‘Palestinians’ and promised to lead an “emergency mission” to bail out Gaza. He demanded that Congress take away our guns to “beat the NRA” and promised transgenders, “I have your back”. None of this was aimed at Americans, it was pure red meat aimed at his own base.

What should have been his DNC acceptance speech, somehow became his SOTU address.

Biden violated the most elementary State of the Union decorum. He gave a speech that he should not have been allowed to deliver. And that should have been shut down during. Presidents deliver these addresses as guests of Congress. As a guest, Biden insulted his hosts, soiled the drapes and tried to wrap his partisan hate-fest in name dropping and the flag.

At the conclusion, Biden laid out a clash “for the soul of our nation” between “those who want to pull America back to the past” (conservatives) “and those who want to move America into the future” (leftists) while unintentionally giving everyone a taste of what that future looks like.

The future looks like a senile president arriving at a State of the Union to launch vitriolic attacks on the opposition, wrecking political norms, implying that a new civil war is at hand, threatening the Supreme Court and defining all opposition as a dangerous form of treason.

Americans have seen the future and polls show they don’t like it very much.

After over an hour of non-stop attacks on his political opponents while depicting them as enemies of the state, Biden unconvincingly claimed that he wants to “be a president for all Americans”. Like a small number of men in this nation’s history, he had his chance.

Biden wanted to be FDR, instead he’s doomed to be the worst possible combination of LBJ, Obama and Jimmy Carter, with all of their bad points and none of their good ones, a political hack who bungled everything and accomplished nothing, hated by everyone, loved by no one, and incapable of even convincingly lying about his accomplishments or delivering a speech.

His legacy concludes with a series of unhinged meanspirited rants in which he demands absolute power to save the country from the threat of political dissent. Americans would be scared if they could understand what he was saying. It’s best for everyone that they didn’t.

Donald Trump responds to Joe Biden’s State of the Union address

RECAP of Biden's State of the Union Speech | Lots of Trump hate

Biden's state of the union summary. This came across as a campaign speech more than a state of the union. Biden was harsh on Trump and bragged about what he believes are his best accomplishments. He did seem to embellish the truth and used many republican talking points as his campaign talking points.

The Blood on Biden’s Hands

The blood of every American murdered by an illegal alien.

 by  

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-blood-on-bidens-hands/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

President Joe Biden has blood on his hands. It’s actually not “on” his hands, it’s through them, marinated all the way to the bone. It’s the blood of Laken Hope Riley, but it’s also so much more. It’s the blood of every American murdered by an illegal alien – of 2-year-old Jeremy Poou Caceres, of three wounded police officers in Washington, DC, of the 14-year-old girl raped and stabbed in Louisiana, and so many more I can’t fit in here. The blood of Americans who, had the President and his fellow Democrats not seen political advantage to allowing a flood of illegal aliens into the country, would not have been spilled at all. Every last drop of it is their responsibly, and they simply do not give a damn.

The murder of Laken Riley is thought to be an unintended consequence of the President’s open border policies, but it really is not. It’s not unintended at all.

You’ve likely heard some version of a story about an auto company that knew they had a defect in their car, something they could fix for a very small price on an individual car basis, but would cost a fortune to address on every car they’d sold. Fixing it on all cars would save dozens of lives, but the cost of doing so was too great to justify it – settling wrongful death lawsuits would be more affordable – so they let their defective product stand.

Whether it’s true or not, or just partially so, does not matter, the principle does. By refusing to enforce our immigration laws, Biden and the Democrats knew they’d be inviting in a large criminal element from the third world, they just didn’t care. The “cost” of lives was cheaper than what they saw as the benefits to them, so they let it happen.

You can’t force Utopia into being without breaking a few eggs.

The murder of Laken Riley is just one case, the true extent of illegal alien crime cannot be known. Not because it’s impossible, the government could easily collect that data, but because the government will not allow that data to be collected.

We’ve been repeatedly told how illegal aliens are not only the “economic engine” of the country, which kind of makes it odd how every liberal city where a few thousand have been bussed by Texas is now crying about how they’re broke and in desperate need of federal funds, but also how these people who broke our laws to be here commit far fewer crimes than we scummy Americans do. They’re better than us in any way.

While I’d question the intelligence or morality of anyone with gangland tattoos on their face and neck, Democrats swear they’re great. Those same Democrats forbid the collection of data to see how many of our sweet, nourishing illegal alien superiors actually commit crimes. It’s really hard to find something when you forbid people to look for it, isn’t it?

I know Democrats want us to have sympathy for the illegals, I just don’t. I care about Americans, period. Democrats do not. Well, they do care about some Americans, just not others. If you’re in their tribe, they will care.

When probable Democrat and undoubtedly devoted MSNBC viewer Aaron Bushnell burned himself to death in front of the Israeli Embassy over the weekend, I honestly could not have cared less. I do give him credit, unlike most progressive leftists, he didn’t kill a bunch of innocent people before killing himself, he just cut to the chase. The Washington Post lost a reader and Democrats lost a voter, but whatever. At least he didn’t harm anyone else.

The White House was very upset, however. The “historic” Karine Jean-Pierre was asked if the President was aware of what had happened to someone who was likely his former voter. KJP (so “historic”) responded, “Yes, the President is aware.  And we can — I can say that it is — obviously, is a — it’s a horrible tragedy, and our thoughts are with the family of the service member at — during this — I could — we can’t even imagine this hor- — horrible, difficult time.   The Department of Defense and the Metropolitan Police are looking into this.  So, we’re not going to get ahead of that.  So, I would certainly refer you to them.  But it is — it is a horrific tragedy, what — what occurred the other day.” (Emphasis added, but it was actually said, on camera, from the podium in the White House.)

Aside from the verbal diarrhea her inability to speak coherently burped up there, it’s worth nothing how she kept saying it was some version of a horrible tragedy.

The White House was also asked about Riley’s murder. They released a written statement, not attributed to anyone beyond a person in the communications department, that contained all the warmth and concern of a Windows Terms of Service Agreement. It read, in its entirety, “We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Laken Hope Riley. People should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law if they are found to be guilty. Given this is an active case, we would have to refer you to state law enforcement and ICE.

Not one use of the word “horrible,” not a single human emotion at all. Just a quick statement of fact and a wiping of the hands of the whole thing.

Only they can’t wipe their hands of it. Were it not for them and the actions they have willingly taken, the statement would not have been necessary. The blood on the hands of the President and every Democrat supporting open borders cannot be wiped off or ever removed. The indifference to the suffering of Americans in the pursuit of their political agenda is not only what they do, it’s who they are. You can’t wash that away.
