Why are those controlling President Joe Biden using him to advance so much of a destructive agenda that it will likely end America as we know it?

If someone wished to destroy America, could he do anything more catastrophic than what we currently see and hear each day?

I have been trying to understand the left’s thinking, if any, about our wide-open Southern border. Several things seem obvious to me.

First, the left has no clue about the concept of unintended consequences. They seem hell-bent on growing their voter base and blocking the right from ever hoping to win another national election. They seem to assume that every illegal alien who crosses the southern border will automatically become Democrat.

Second, we (and they) have no idea who are coming across the border into our country. There have been reports of Middle Eastern, single, military-age young men coming across, mingled in with Hispanics from Mexico, Central, and South America. Who are these men? What are they doing in the West, and what do they want? And more importantly, where are they now? Somewhere inside our country, obviously, but nobody, least of all our government, knows where they are, apparently.

Third, with Covid-19 numbers once again on the rise, how many of these illegal aliens are carrying active diseases, whether Covid or other contagion, into the country? Does anybody track that? Is there a quarantine period for these people before they’re released into the interior? Does anybody track the huge burden these people are placing onto our health care systems? Who is paying for their care? If it’s the government, where are the funds coming from? Oh yes, that would be us, the American taxpayers.

Fourth, how much are they contributing to the flow of drugs into this country? How much fentanyl is coming in with them? When is someone going to put a stop to the carnage it causes? Is anyone in the federal government even watching? Or are they too busy worrying about our gas stoves and ceiling fans?

Fifth, why did Biden even bother to appoint a border czar when she has only visited the border once in more that 3 years in the position, and seemingly has had little to no impact on the masses of people pouring in through our wide-open Southern border?

Sixth, why are Border Patrol personnel prevented from doing their job of enforcing border security? What impact has that had on the morale and retention of these dedicated and highly professional public servants?

Finally, what’s the status of the border wall? We all know that work on it was halted early into the Biden reign, but what has become of the portions that had been built during the Trump administration? And what has become of the building materials that had been stockpiled at the border?

These are just a few of the concerns with the state of the Southern border – there are many more. Is a nation without a border even a nation? What kind of insanity would let (no, cause) that to happen? -RI

As the nation grapples with the murders of three adults and three children at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, faith leaders responded to the criticism by journalists, commentators, entertainers and activists who have mocked prayer and blamed conservatives for outlawing drag shows for kids and not guns. – Kendall Tietz

Was the pandemic a blip? This poll suggests that no, the pandemic (and our response to it) wasn’t just a one-time matter, but a trajectory-altering event for our country. 

And not in a good way. – Katrina Trinko

Some of Fleming’s writing is indeed objectionable, and I’m not here to defend it. Even Bond fans admit as much, and that’s exactly the point.

People can be exposed to objectionable views without condoning them since they don’t necessarily overshadow the bigger picture—that the Bond character is fun, flawed, and heroic at the same time. Readers can come across content and condemn it simultaneously

Why? Because we can walk and chew gum at the same time. Existence doesn’t have to mean endorsement. – Luca Ladan

The boldness of China’s flying of a spy balloon through America’s airspace demanded clarity and swift action, and what it received from the Biden administration was confusion and delayed action. This sends the exactly the wrong message to the American people and the world. That China thought it could fly a surveillance balloon into American air space tells you all you need to know about what Beijing thinks America’s resolve, and where it sees itself on the international stage. None of this is good for America now, or in the future. – Mike Rogers
