Big Government

The Biden administration is pathologically incapable of telling the truth about the “migrant” crisis at the U.S. border. They seem to pick responses at random, including:

• There is no migrant crisis
• Well maybe there is but it’s Trump’s fault
• Yeah there are lots of migrants but it’s actually a good thing

They can’t even accept the reality of the job they gave to Vice President Kamala Harris, who Joe Biden put in charge of figuring out the “root problem” propelling so many foreign nationals to jump over the very lightly guarded U.S.-Mexico border. The Democrats and the mainstream media (to be redundant) dedicated almost a week of the news cycle to shrieking about how “border czar” was not Harris’ official job title, as if that mattered. (Watch below for just a few examples)

Even the words the administration uses—sadly, conservatives have adopted this language, too—is dishonest. Have you noticed that over the past year, the terms “illegal alien,” and “undocumented immigrant” have disappeared? We’re now all supposed to call them all “migrants,” as if the millions of aggressive military-aged young men pouring into America (breaking the law) were simply jolly travelers with a knapsack on a stick coming to the Hard Rock Candy Mountain. 

Never mind the 4,000 Venezuelan “migrants” who trashed a Target parking lot in Colorado last week and fired guns into the air in what the Aurora police tepidly called a “gathering.”

The Wall Street Journal has put together a chart using data from the Congressional Budget Office showing that more than 70 percent of the “migrants” who entered the country under Joe Biden did so illegally. 

Unsurprisingly, X/Twitter users on that thread were not happy with the situation. 

“Bourbon Moon” asks a question we’d like to know the answer to; Democrats seem to have a death wish. 

Tamas asks another, and we suspect we’re never going to be told the truth about this. 

Well, yes. 

Readers, what do you think the total number of illegals is under Biden? And do you think we’ll ever be able to trust the numbers from any government? 

After Donald Trump, X/Twitter owner Elon Musk is the man who gets liberals into a frothing rage more than anyone else. When the owner of SpaceX and Tesla bought the social media company in October of 2022, the “in-group” of leftist journalists and activists on Twitter went berserk. 

They had become used to a rigged playing field that allowed them to spew whatever they wanted while being able to shut down any dissent. Users in the center to the right lost their Twitter accounts constantly because the woke progressives would mass-report any user who broke the sacred rules of modern leftism. “Misgendering,” which is what the lunatics call the act of referring to a man as a man, was a permanently bannable offense under what people call “old Twitter.” 

When Musk took over, the playing field started to level, and the left has never gotten over its tantrum about losing unfair privileges that allowed them to control the discourse. But none of them wield the kind of power that Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes does. A hard-leftist authoritarian, Moraes has been threatening Twitter for months, and now he has actually banned the entire platform from operating in Brazil. 

Can a judge do that? Apparently yes, in Brazil. But as Musk warns, it’s much worse than that. Moraes, who actually wears black judicial robes that make him look like a puritan witch-finder general (or like Darth Vader) is threatening Brazilian citizens with $9,000 a day in fines if they access the now-banned Twitter by using electronic means to get around the ban. 

It seems like nothing can convince  leftists in the west to step back from the ledge of authoritarian fantasy. They’re so enraged by anyone or anything—but most especially non-leftist men who talk back to the mommy state—who doesn’t want a Trump or a Musk imprisoned that they cannot be reasoned with. But if their fondest dreams of government censorship come true here in America, even leftists will understand what they’ve done when they’re in the gulag along with the rest of us deplorables. 

Let’s sample the reaction to Musk’s post. 

It’s good to see Lily Tang Williams, who survived Mao’s cultural revolution in China and is now begging Westerners to stop the march toward Communism before it’s too late. 

Ashley puts the new $9,000 a day fine for Brazilian Twitter users into stark perspective:

Do you miss Ronald Reagan? We do.
