There’s always a lot of noise to cut through at this point in any election cycle. Everything is on the other side of extra with this particular election, of course. When I set aside the polls and the breathless, fictional mainstream media coverage of Kamala Harris, one question nags at me.
Regular Americans aren’t really buying what the Coastal Media Bubble™ Dems are selling, are they?
This has actually been something I’ve thought a lot about since Joe Biden got into office. The Democratic Party has abandoned the working-class Americans it used to pretend to champion. It’s a party of coastal elites who can afford the communist folly that is being ushered in. I’ve said many times that I can’t believe lifelong Dems in flyover country are on board with the weaponized Department of Justice and drag queen story hours in elementary schools.
There is also the fact that people all over the country are suffering from the effects of the Biden-Harris border invasion. That used to be something only those of us in border states had to deal with.
As we all know, Kamala Harris has played a major role in the administration’s open-border policy. She’s tried to run from it, but this isn’t a problem that can be easily swept under the rug. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t trying.
This is from something that Robert wrote yesterday:
Aaron Heitke, who served as chief patrol agent for the San Diego sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, told a House hearing that there has been an increase in the number of “significant interest aliens” (SIAs) arrested in that area since Old Joe began pretending to be president. “Significant interest aliens” were, he said, “people with ties to terrorism.” Heitke noted, according to ABC, that “the number of arrests of such individuals in the San Diego sector has increased from 10-15 before 2021 to more than 100 in 2022.”
That’s not a trivial spike, and the Biden regime, Heitke said, was trying to conceal it: “At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests. The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.”
Heitke also said that “he had to let people who crossed the border illegally into local communities that could not support them.” Shades of Springfield, Ohio.
To borrow a word from the lefty climate change weirdos, this isn’t sustainable.
One of the hallmarks of the Biden administration is that it fudges any numbers that make it look bad. Biden’s handlers know that they can get away with a lot because the incurious propagandists in the MSM won’t ask a lot of questions. However, they have created so much chaos that they can’t just tell everyone to move along because there is nothing to see.
Donald Trump and JD Vance are very good at hammering Harris on the border. If they win in November, that will be a huge part of it. That issue alone should be enough to sink Harris, but we live in a world that is all too often free of consequences for the people who most deserve them.
The plan with open-border Dems has always been to wave a magic wand over the illegal aliens, confer legal status upon them, and turn them into voters. It’s political sleight of hand that doesn’t really change things. This is from a post that my RedState colleague Ward Clark wrote:
This race shouldn’t even be close. The problem is that outlets that expose the facts speak only to conservatives; those who NEED to hear the truth the most are tuned into CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC and don’t get anything but, “Biden is sharp, Kamala is a drag, Biden is out, Kamala is the greatest, Joy, Joy, Joy.” They don’t know about the disaster at the border or the disasters around the country where illegal immigrants have been dumped.
