    From Mark Levin with in 24 hours ago

    Mark Levin is hardly a reputable news source.

    Pelosi's Jan. 6 committee failed miserably. It found not a shred of evidence tying President Trump to any kind of "insurrection" or violent attack on the Capitol Building.

    At the very least, Trump:
    1. was warned of violence and failed to act on that information, and
    2. refused for several hours to call "his" people off.

    Both of these contributed to the level of violence during the insurrection.

    Despite all the emails, texts, witnesses
    and, most of all, the complete control of the entire apparatus and narrative without any opposition.

    This isn't even a complete sentence. How would you react if Biden talked in incomplete sentences?

    The show-trial hearings proved
    nothing.

    The hearings proved quite a lot.

    And despite all the prosecutions and plea deals and threats
    against protesters unleashed by the DOJ, in what it claims is the
    biggest investigation in the FBI's history.

    Another incomplete sentence.

    Not a single person has any
    information linking President Trump to any violence or the storming of
    the Capitol Building. --

    Trump:
    1. Wanted it to happen,
    2. Got "his" people all stoked up about this being the last chance to
    overturn the election,
    3, Sent "his" people to the Capitol, and
    4. Sat back and watched the violence on TV.

    It's not the link they're after; it's the prevention of having an unbuyable presidential nominee.

    Plus they hate it when people like me say "He was chosen by God to lead the USA." That's super-intimidating to godless leftists.

    Trump is totally buyable. He views everything -- everything -- as a transaction.

    Perhaps he was. Perhaps so were Obama and Biden. Or perhaps not. It does not matter under our system of government. Only citizens can vote, not deities.

    evidence tying President Trump to any kind of "insurrection" or viole attack on the Capitol Building.

    At the very least, Trump:
    1. was warned of violence and failed to act on that information, and
    2. refused for several hours to call "his" people off.

    Was Biden warned about 600,000 illegal immigrants due to his policies?

    Was Biden warned about 25,000 asylum seekers due to his policies?

    Was Biden warned about 1000 people dying along the border due to his policies?

    Was Biden warned about the 11 Afghani children he killed?

    Was Biden warned about the fentanyl crisis he created?

    Was Biden warned that it would be wrong to declare the pandemic over?

    Was Biden warned that his policies would bring on the fastest inflation ever?

    Trump "tried to overthrow the government" but Biden's the one who's pulling
    all the fast ones.

    Was Biden warned about 600,000 illegal immigrants due to his policies?

    What's your evidence of 600,000 illegal immigrants?

    Was Biden warned about 25,000 asylum seekers due to his policies?

    Why would that be considered a warning?

    Was Biden warned about 1000 people dying along the border due to his policies?

    People died along the border before Biden, and more will probably die along
    the border after he's gone.

    Was Biden warned about the 11 Afghani children he killed?

    There was no plan to kill 11 Afghani children.

    Was Biden warned about the fentanyl crisis he created?

    The fentanyl crisis existed prior to Biden. Additionally, most fentanyl
    brought into the US is brought in by US citizens.

    Was Biden warned that it would be wrong to declare the pandemic over?

    How many times did Trump declare the pandemic over, or that it would be over
    in a matter of weeks? Also, given vaccines, the effects of the pandemic among the vaccinated population are far milder than they were at the beginning of
    the pandemic (when no one was vaccinated).

    Was Biden warned that his policies would bring on the fastest inflation ever?

    The inflation is caused by global factors, not Biden policies.

    Trump "tried to overthrow the government" but Biden's the one who's pulling all the fast ones.

    Or Trump tried to overthrow the government but Biden's the one who's "pulling all the fast ones." I can play the quotation marks game, too, you know.

    What Trump did was a far greater threat to our nation than anything Biden's done.

    Leftists are only able to bribe Democrats. That's why 9/11 & that's why Covid.

    Warm-blooded humans don't think about doing things against God's will, but leftists are thinking deeply into it, so far into it that they don't want
    Trump in power.

    Leftists don't want Trump in power because he ruins everything for them, and
    he prevents them from getting their greasy hands on the revenue that American taxpayers worked hard to provide.

    9/11 and COVID-19 were not leftist/Democrat conspiracies. As for who can
    bribe who, that's just nonsense. It's the money that convinces the bribee,
    not the leanings of the briber.

    Or maybe God didn't want Trump in power anymore after all. Maybe God put
    Trump in power in the first place as a warning and a wake-up call to America,

    You don't know the will of God any more than the next guy does. Unless you've been talking with God, in which case I recommend getting psychiatric help.

    Leftists don't want Trump in power because he ruins everything for them, and he prevents them from getting their greasy hands on the revenue that American taxpayers worked hard to provide.

    Trump did his share of spending taxpayer money, and also the RNC (read "Republican donors") are footing all of his legal bills, which is why candidates aren't getting the support that they need.

    The money Biden and the Democrats have spent has been for the benefit
    of the American people.

    You seem to think that politicians are somehow able to put taxpayer money
    into their own pockets. It's not. Taxpayer money is usually spent on the
    things for which it is allocated by Congress (Trump made a few exceptions via executive order that were a bit shady).

    Actually, the same could be said of conservatives and Biden. However, the reason leftists don't want Trump in power is that he's corrupt and has no respect for the Constitution or American law. Plus, he's a buffoon and
    reflects very badly on the US internationally.

    Initially it was a of matter of haste on my part, when I commented.. but nevertheless it was a former ABC showrunner and he did so much more then simply join the committee as a unannounced advisor, but I do understand why you
    would choose to be duplicitous and want to describe his role such as a Gene L. Coon type from the original star trek series; meaning painting this man Goldston as guy behind the scenes or as the unsung hero, which Gene L. Coon was.

    In any event the words you used to disguise his role, falls flat and is very transparent and I instantly recognized your intention.
    You should of known better, that I have the ability to read between the lines, to decipher if you will.

    Democrats hired James Goldston, who served as president of ABC News when it allegedly quashed reporting of accusations against Jeffrey Epstein, to "produce" the Jan. 6 Committee hearings.

    This is from: The New York Times.
    That siege is now his focus but not as a network news chief. Instead, Mr. Goldston is helping congressional investigators retell and reframe the events of that day for a weary and polarized nation. WITH A HANFFUL OF PRODICTION STAFF, it is his job to sift through and edit down a voluminous amount of images from police body cams, hallway surveillance video and raw footage from
    a documentarian hours and hours of recordings that captured the insurrection
    as it unfolded. He and his team will help the House committee that is investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack PRODUCE TV-READY SEGMENTS FOR ALL ITS PUBLIC HEARINGS, the next one on Monday morning.

    I'm not being duplicitous, and I am not attempting to paint Goldston as anything. I'm simply defending my statement that ABC News has nothing to do with the January 6 hearings, which I have done successfully.

    In any event the words you used to disguise his role, falls flat and is very transparent and I instantly recognized your intention.

    I didn't use those words, Axios did. I simply quoted them to prove that Goldston is not currently working for ABC News.

    You should of known better, that I have the ability to read between the lines, to decipher if you will.

    You didn't decipher anything. You were caught in a lie.

    Democrats hired James Goldston, who served as president of ABC News when it allegedly quashed reporting of accusations against Jeffrey Epstein, to "produce" the Jan. 6 Committee hearings.

    That does not prove any involvement by ABC News in the January 6 hearings.

    This is from: The New York Times.

    No matter where it's from, it does not prove your claim.

    That siege is now his focus but not as a network news chief. Instead, Mr. Goldston is helping congressional investigators retell and reframe the events of that day for a weary and polarized nation. WITH A HANFFUL OF PRODICTION STAFF, it is his job to sift through and edit down a

    PRODUCE TV-READY SEGMENTS FOR ALL ITS PUBLIC HEARINGS, the next one on Monday morning.

    It sounds like the committee hired an expert to help present their evidence
    to a television audience. There's nothing illegal or unethical in anything you've described regarding Mr. Goldston, and he is no longer affiliated with ABC News. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

    No you haven't been successful in any way. Goldston was the former ABC show runner and he was also the previous President of ABC News. His role within these January 6th has been identified. He was the TV producer of the January 6th hearings for television. He was also hired by the democrats for this Kangaroo court. Based on these facts you have not been successful.
    Furthermore there is no way for you to be successful.
    Due to the fact that Goldston has already been exposed with his involvement producing these hearings for television and that he was hired by the
    Democratic party No other explanation is necessary or will be tolerated.

    Trump did not request either the National Guard or additional law
    enforcement, nor was his request denied by Democrats. Both of those have been debunked.

    Yes, I pointed that out, as well as the use of the word "former."

    and he was also the previous President of ABC News.

    show runner and he was also the previous President of ABC News. His role within these January 6th has been identified. He was the TV producer of the January 6th hearings for television. He was also hired by the democrats for this Kangaroo court.

    With the exception of calling the very serious January 6 hearings a "Kangaroo court," I also pointed this out.

    I don't dispute any of that. In fact, I said as much myself.

    What do you think I'm disputing?

    I'm disputing your statement that ABC News coordinated with the Democrats in the January 6 hearings. I said that ABC News had no involvement in the
    January 6 hearings, and I stand by that.

    As far as your statement, you're the one who has not been successful in defending your statement.

    9/11 and COVID-19 were not leftist/Democrat conspiracies. As for who can

    That's the official word from the white house, I'm sure.

    You don't know the will of God any more than the next guy does. Unless you been talking with God, in which case I recommend getting psychiatric help.

    God gave most people a BS-detector, but everyone has different deficiencies.

    Trump did his share of spending taxpayer money, and also the RNC (read "Republican donors") are footing all of his legal bills, which is why candidates aren't getting the support that they need.

    Now you're making excuses for the RNC idiots who throw elections? That seems appropriate! They help your people more than they help mine!

    My party don't have the money it needs because we don't have a fat hungarian sugar daddy to pay for everything.

    You seem to think that politicians are somehow able to put taxpayer money into their own pockets. It's not. Taxpayer money is usually spent on the things for which it is allocated by Congress (Trump made a few exceptions executive order that were a bit shady).

    Trillions of dollars later, where did it all go? I don't see jack!

    Actually, the same could be said of conservatives and Biden. However, the reason leftists don't want Trump in power is that he's corrupt and has no respect for the Constitution or American law. Plus, he's a buffoon and reflects very badly on the US internationally.

    The GOP apparently also does not do enough donating to the campaigns of

    They are probably smart enough to know that doesn't work, unlike the
    Democrats who do so and then act surprised when they lose to the far-right candidate they (and likely people like Soros) donated to.

    By "trillions of dollars," are you talking about the US budget? Well over
    half of it goes to defense, much of what's left goes to paying the salaries of federal workers, a few slivers go to maintaining the social safety net, such
    as it is, another sliver goes to NASA (who just knocked an asteroid off
    course in a test of planetary defense), some of it goes to maintaining and improving the infrastructure, etc.

    A lot of it you don't see because you take it for granted.

    Right! The GOP would need to have "all the money in the world" in order to spend it on stuff like that.

    But unfortunately, "all the money in the world" isn't being donated to the RNC.

    In addition to the RNC being stuck with paying Trump's legal fees, Trump's

    What's your evidence of 600,000 illegal immigrants?

    Most of the media says "2 million illegals entered in 2022," but CBP only vouches for 600,000 illegals.

    It's a good thing we sucked in those 25,000 refugees, because otherwise having the border wide open would have been just for the illegals.

    Why would that be considered a warning?

    Because transforming the USA from a place that "welcomes immigrants" into a "refugee camp" is something the American people didn't ask for.

    Was Biden warned about 1000 people dying along the border due to his policies?

    People died along the border before Biden, and more will probably die along the border after he's gone.

    A 200% increase in border deaths means nothing to brainwashed zombies.

    Was Biden warned about the 11 Afghani children he killed?

    There was no plan to kill 11 Afghani children.

    Ok, so we'll lower Biden's charges to "2nd degree murder" instead.

    Was Biden warned about the fentanyl crisis he created?

    The fentanyl crisis existed prior to Biden. Additionally, most fentanyl brought into the US is brought in by US citizens.

    Now you're changing the definition of "crisis?" We had an "opioid crisis" but now Biden has mutated it into a "fentanyl crisis."

    But you still don't answer my questions.. where was Biden when all this stuff unfolded? Hiding behind a desk? Not doing jack? Trying to make black people hate white people? Important stuff he was doing, I guess. But he's not gonna get away with it.

    Was Biden warned that his policies would bring on the fastest inflati ever?

    The inflation is caused by global factors, not Biden policies.

    Every horrible record that was broken so far by the Biden Regime, it's all
    just coincidental, and none of it is Biden's fault. He's just a sweet old man. It's not his policies, it's just stuff happening, on top of other stuff happening, which is all coincidence. Got it!

    Was Biden warned that it would be wrong to declare the pandemic over?

    How many times did Trump declare the pandemic over, or that it would be over in a matter of weeks? Also, given vaccines, the effects of the pandemic among the vaccinated population are far milder than they were
    at the beginning of the pandemic (when no one was vaccinated).

    0. Trump declared the pandemic over 0 times. He gave us hope that it would be over some day, but Biden is making sure that the virus stays with us until as many white people are dead as possible (and as many black people are angry as possible.)

    Giving refugees a new start is not the same as a "refugee camp."

    Bush's re-election success was a Democrat miscalaculation.

    We don't know the cause of the pandemic, and never will, because Joe decided it would be best if we don't investigate.

    Making sure the American people NEVER know about Covid's origins seemed like a great idea to the Biden administration, so that's what we're doing.

    Perhaps the reason they seem to throw election is that their funding of Trump's legal costs is depleting their resources. That's a fact, not an excuse.

    It doesn't cost money to find candidates. We need turd sandwiches who are willing to wear business attire and capable of saying "yay" and "nay." Democrats know what's up; they have no problem finding people like Gargamel to run against Dr Oz. Where's our Gargamels?

    The Republican party has plenty of sugar daddies.

    By "trillions of dollars," are you talking about the US budget? Well over

    I'm talking about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law & the Build Back Better Act. They don't do anything to help the 600,000 illegal immigrants that Joe
    let in, and they don't do anything to stop the problem.

    If they were forced into prostitution while at Martha's Vineyard, it's their own fault; they should KNOW that wealthy Democrat elites are rapists.

    Because transforming the USA from a place that "welcomes immigrants" into a "refugee camp" is something the American people didn't ask for

    Giving refugees a new start is not the same as a "refugee camp."

    Texans should have been given a heads-up that migrants might eat their dogs and/or that they might murder them for their jewelry, because Joe allowed them all to come, knowing that they can't legally work for money to buy food. Joe didn't tell anyone to protect their pets or their elderly's jewels, and now this.

    I'm talking about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law & the Build Back Better Act. They don't do anything to help the 600,000 illegal
    immigrants that Joe let in, and they don't do anything to stop the problem.

    Why would you expect infrastructure packages to help immigrants?

    Imagine your car barely starts, and it runs hot, and it stalls a lot,
    and it's way past due for all kinds of maintenance, and the radio don't work. So what does all this mean? Time to buy a new radio?

    Biden has worked out details with Mexico to lessen the problem.

    Apparently not. But you're more than welcome to take that up with Kari Lake,
    if you'd like.

    If they were forced into prostitution while at Martha's Vineyard, it's their own fault; they should KNOW that wealthy Democrat elites are rapists.

    And your evidence for this is?

    Allowing refugees into the country, however, is not engaging in human trafficking.
    Have you changed your mind about what "human trafficking" means? You
    used to say "human trafficking is not the same as human smuggling!"

    I have not. "Human trafficking" is not the same as either human smuggling or allowing refugees into the country. Human trafficking involves the non-consensual transportation, sale, and/or exploitation of humans.

    Most of the media says "2 million illegals entered in 2022," but vouches for 600,000 illegals.
    It's a good thing we sucked in those 25,000 refugees, because ot having the border wide open would have been just for the illegal
    The border is not wide open. That could explain the discrepancies in numbers.
    You pay attention to the news a lot. Don't you remember some whining
    about "2 million illegals" <that Joe let in?> When the media "estimates" they do a lousy job.

    I don't watch Fox News. Is it possible that you're conflating refugees and illegal immigrants? Or counting the number of encounters rather than the
    number of successful illegal entries?

    Why would that be considered a warning?
    Because transforming the USA from a place that "welcomes immigra into a "refugee camp" is something the American people didn't as
    Giving refugees a new start is not the same as a "refugee camp."
    Texans should have been given a heads-up that migrants might eat their dogs and/or that they might murder them for their jewelry, because Joe allowed them all to come, knowing that they can't legally work for money to buy food. Joe didn't tell anyone to protect their pets or their elderly's jewels, and now this.

    Do you have any evidence of dogs being eaten or jewelry being stolen by refugees?

    A 200% increase in border deaths means nothing to brainwashed zo
    It goes up and down.
    200% is a huge number. "It goes up and down" is a ridiculous cop-out.

    There could be other reasons for that increase than simply who is President
    of the United States.

    Was Biden warned about the 11 Afghani children he kill
    There was no plan to kill 11 Afghani children.
    Ok, so we'll lower Biden's charges to "2nd degree murder" instea
    I'm sure that there were unfortunate deaths under Trump as well.
    Yea but it's always children who suffer the most (from Democrat
    policies.)

    That's a laugh. Republicans are against a social safety net of any kind.

    Now you're changing the definition of "crisis?" We had an "opioi crisis" but now Biden has mutated it into a "fentanyl crisis."
    Fentanyl is an opioid. From the DEA: "The flow of fentanyl into the United States in 2019 is more diverse compared to the start of the
    Fentanyl is a concentrated form of opium. It's like BHO/Dabs, only with opium instead of weed. We had a prescription opioid crisis but Joe is fanning the flames with all this fentanyl.

    Can you read? The DEA reported a fentanyl crisis as far back as 2014. Except you cut that part out, didn't you? You left in the part about it being
    present in 2019, though.

    But you still don't answer my questions.. where was Biden when a stuff unfolded? Hiding behind a desk? Not doing jack? Trying to black people hate white people? Important stuff he was doing, I But he's not gonna get away with it.
    The same problems existed under Trump.
    Not at these levels.

    about the George Floyd protests of 2020?

    It seems like a sustained 330% increase in civilian casualties would kill at least 11 children.

    Some things aren't possible to know, and investigating them is just a huge waste of money.

    In this case, it is not possible to know because China won't even allow the

    Hello Jeff,

    [..]

    You pay attention to the news a lot. Don't you remember some whining
    about "2 million illegals" <that Joe let in?> When the media
    "estimates" they do a lousy job.

    I don't watch Fox News. Is it possible that you're conflating refugees and illegal immigrants? Or counting the number of encounters rather than the number of successful illegal entries?

    Maybe you thought I was joking about those two fellas from Siberia
    applying for asylum being Innuit. And maybe you thought I was joking
    about Gorbachev and Reagan making a deal, allowing all Innuit to
    travel freely between Siberia and Alaska without a passport. But I
    assure you, I was being totally serious then. And I am also being
    totally seriously now -

    Alaska asylum seekers are Indigenous Siberians from Russia

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Two Russian Indigenous Siberians were so
    scared of having to fight the war in Ukraine, they chanced everything
    to take a small boat across the treacherous Bering Sea to reach
    American soil, Alaska’s senior U.S. senator said after talking with
    the two.

    The two, identified as males by a resident, landed earlier this month
    near Gambell, on Alaska’s St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Strait,
    where they asked for asylum.

    “They feared for their lives because of Russia, who is targeting
    minority populations, for conscription into service in Ukraine,”
    Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Saturday during a candidate
    forum at the Alaska Federation of Natives conference in Anchorage.

    “It is very clear to me that these individuals were in fear, so much
    in fear of their own government that they risked their lives and
    took a 15-foot skiff across those open waters,” Murkowski said when
    answering a question about Arctic policy.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/alaska-asylum-seekers-indigenous-siberians -052441686.html


    Do you have any idea of what it is like to traverse the Bering Sea
    in a 15-foot skiff? A friend of mine was stationed in Alaska during
    the time of the Korean conflict. Being stationed in the Aleutian
    Islands, far way from home in Louisiana, can be very challenging.
    One day, he could not take it any more. Decided to "borrow" a
    PT boat to make it home. He did not get very far, and had to be
    rescued at sea. Fortunately for him, he was not courts martialed,
    his commanding officer fully understanding the situation.

    Putin is desperate. He is losing, badly, in Ukraine. He is not
    able to find enough conscripts to replace the troops already lost.
    More and more young people are leaving Russia, as well as older
    people. Indigenous peoples, such as Innuit, are not trained or
    able to fight Putin's wars. Most do not even speak the Russian
    language.

    Some analysts claim Putin is willing to send 20 million Russians
    to their deaths in Ukraine to get his way. If that is the case, and
    with so many refusing to fight, his only alternative would be the
    use of nuclear weapons. Blaming it all on Ukraine for making him do
    it, citing Ukraine's ability to use "dirty" bombs to attack Russia.

    I expect Putin to make a demonstration to Ukraine in the next
    week or two. Probably in Kherson. Depending on how long it takes
    for him to get Russian troops and officers out of the way.

    Texans should have been given a heads-up that migrants might eat
    their
    dogs and/or that they might murder them for their jewelry, because
    Joe
    allowed them all to come, knowing that they can't legally work for
    money
    to buy food. Joe didn't tell anyone to protect their pets or their
    elderly's jewels, and now this.

    Do you have any evidence of dogs being eaten or jewelry being stolen by refugees?

    Korea, Vietnam, and China have all banned the practice of eating
    dog. Stealing jewelry has always been an occupation among thieves,
    regardless of nationality, which can never be controlled.

    That's a laugh. Republicans are against a social safety net of any kind.

    There is honor among thieves.

    For Life,
    Lee

    I believed you then and I believe you now. Except there's one part you left out: they requested asylum from the US, which made them refugees.

    It doesn't matter that they were allowed to travel freely between coastal regions of the two countries; that clearly wasn't good enough for them if they felt the need to request asylum. Perhaps they were afraid that others from their community would come to take them back. Who knows?

    What we do know is that their request for asylum got them moved out of the coastal area along the border and into Anchorage, a much safer location for them.

    The point is that they requested to remain in the US as refugees, which is exactly what the asylum-seekers who cross the southern border are requesting.

    But would it be a waste of effort to at least try? They said "no" to those losers at the WHO, but we're not the WHO; it's in our best interest to at
    least try.

    Without asking them about it, it's like seeing someone smash into your car with their car, but you don't bother to ask for their insurance info, because you think they'll say "no."

    China's probably not to blame for this, but I suspect that they would (wisely) prefer to keep themselves out of any legal trouble over it (covid) even if
    they (the Chinese gov) had nothing to do with it; it happened on their
    property (I assume the university is state-owned) and I don't know how int'l law works, but in many stateside jurisdictions you can easily get sued for having someone get injured on your property.

    I don't watch Fox News. Is it possible that you're conflating refugee and illegal immigrants? Or counting the number of encounters rather t the number of successful illegal entries?
    I don't conflate much. Next time I see "2 million immigrants" in the
    news I'll post about it here and hopefully we'll find out who that # includes.

    Good plan. Be sure to post link(s).

    Texans should have been given a heads-up that migrants might eat dogs and/or that they might murder them for their jewelry, becau allowed them all to come, knowing that they can't legally work f to buy food. Joe didn't tell anyone to protect their pets or the elderly's jewels, and now this.
    Do you have any evidence of dogs being eaten or jewelry being stolen refugees?
    We weren't talking about refugees, just "migrants."

    Do you have any evidence of "migrants" eating dogs or stealing jewelry? Statistically, immigrants to the US commit less crime than US citizens.

    Fox News has the dog eating story: https://tinyurl.com/2m29z5ha

    Ah, good old Fox News. That sounds like a rather unreliable source. The
    woman, who did not witness any crime, first said that "they" killed the dogs
    in order to steal something, and then changes it to "They are like robbing stuff or killing animals to eat."

    Do you have any actual witness accounts of this incident?

    Fatal jewelry robberies are a common occurrance.

    And not just by "migrants."

    Can you read? The DEA reported a fentanyl crisis as far back as 2014. Except you cut that part out, didn't you? You left in the part about being present in 2019, though.

    The question was "Where was Biden when we needed him?" Not "Where were

    The border patrol is making seizures, as you've pointed out. And perhaps the discrepancy in the amount of seizures under Bidan as compared to Trump is due to more effective enforcement. Biden has addressed the opioid crisis (to include fentanyl) several times.

    So different media sites are calling it different things, but different departments (the white house and CBP) are producing approximately the same number (2 million.) And if they're getting arrested, it's because they did something illegal, and if arrested by CBP, then it's because they're illegal immigrants.

    I could be wrong, but it seems like these "2 million" arrested migrants are in addition to the "600,000+ gotaways" reported by CBP.

    In this case, it is not possible to know because China won't even allow the WHO to investigate it. I am not aware of Biden saying we'd never investigate it. Aaron seems to think so and I may have missed something.
    If China won't let the WHO finish an investigation, I don't see them allowing the USA to start one, so it would likely be a waste.

    Plus, think of the precedent it would set. If a pandemic were to start in the US and rumors began in other countries that it was a biological weapon gone awry, how would we feel about WHO or Chinese inspectors demanding access to American research facilities?

    My interest would be more along the lines of "if we can figure out how it started, maybe we can stop it from happening again" but, yes, that could
    open a Pandora's box.

    Without asking them about it, it's like seeing someone smash into your car wit
    their car, but you don't bother to ask for their insurance info, because you think they'll say "no."

    Except in that case I would be calling the police and getting what info I could, like a license number, approximate year/make/model, etc.

    China's probably not to blame for this, but I suspect that they would (wisely)
    prefer to keep themselves out of any legal trouble over it (covid) even if they (the Chinese gov) had nothing to do with it; it happened on their property (I assume the university is state-owned) and I don't know how int'l law works, but in many stateside jurisdictions you can easily get sued for having someone get injured on your property.

    I still believe the earlier theories regaring the wet markets are probably
    the most likely. If it did happen due to a lab accident, it would be nice
    to know, though... not even to point fingers but to research and determine
    how to improve lab facilities. I read a recent article about a lab
    somewhere on the East Coast that "mixed" the early COVID variant with
    Omicron to make one believed even deadlier. If knowing what happened in
    the Chinese lab, if it did happen, that caused it to break containment was known, I would feel safer about this other experiment.

    I could be wrong, but it seems like these "2 million" arrested migrants are in addition to the "600,000+ gotaways" reported by CBP.

    They could be. But you have to remember that the Border Patrol counts "encounters," not people. If the same guy tries unsuccessfully to cross the border every day for a year, that's 365 encounters, not 365 people.

    The US has its own serial killers, too. I believe two have been captured recently, or maybe one is still at large. We also have mass shootings almost daily. It's unfortunate that this person killed 11 people for their jewelry, but in the bigger picture it's just a drop in the bucket for US murders.

    Ah, good old Fox News. That sounds like a rather unreliable source. T woman, who did not witness any crime, first said that "they" killed t dogs in order to steal something, and then changes it to "They are li robbing stuff or killing animals to eat."
    Do you have any actual witness accounts of this incident?
    If you love your pets you will lock your doors.

    Note also that she said that they killed two *dogs* but are eating *animals.* She didn't specifically say that they were eating dogs. They very well could have killed and eaten animals that were being raised specifically to be,
    well, killed and eaten.

    Fatal jewelry robberies are a common occurrance.
    And not just by "migrants."
    They have a calling in the jewelry-murder industry because they are here illegally and can't work. When you're stomach rumbles, and you can't

    You specifically accused Biden of "making black people hate white people." The border patrol is making seizures, as you've pointed out.

    The CBP was complaining that they didn't have enough officers under Trump,
    too. The number of migrants is not reflective of the number of illegal immigrants. The number of refugees coming from Central America may ebb and
    flow while the number of non-refugees may be influenced by a completely different set of factors.

    And again, most fentanyl entering the US is at legal points of entry, transported by US citizens.

    Perhaps the fentany enforcement is more effective because the Border Patrol
    has changed some aspect of how they do things.

    No, they don't. They actually call attention to themselves personally

    right of a woman to govern her own body.

    More expensive than the Trump investigation? And less important?

    The Trump campaign/administration's involvement with Russia was knowable.

    If your statement was about the Mueller investigation, then it was not expensive. In fact -- it showed a net profit.

    If you cherry pick your facts, then I bet it did show a "net profit."

    But how profitable is it to have 535 members of congress working on

    We shouldn't call them "congress" anymore; we should call them "Trump prosecutors." Maybe when I grow up I'll become a Trump prosecutor. ;)

    They're not "Joe's Mexican regugee camps." They're "Mexico's refugee camps," and they likely won't be along the border in the desert.
    So Obrador's rapists from the old refugee camp won't be employed at the new one? And it's safer than ever because it's further into the interior of Mexico?

Given current donation limits, big donors would max out their donations to individual candidates pretty quickly, so if they wanted to donate more they'd ha to choose PACs or the party, to which they can donate virtually unlimited amounts. As I said, though, the RNC does have coffers, so t money has to come from somewhere.

    What's the leftists' plan for 600,000 people who lack the legal right to support themselves and their families? We're throwing gas & diesel school
    buses in the trash, but those buses could be used to transport the migrants better than making them walk. If I were you, I would urge the other coldies to start providing a bus shuttle service to start picking them up at least at 2 stops: 1 in Panama & 1 in Mexico. That way we prevent a lot of deaths and a
    lot of robberies. Ask all your leftist friends why they prefer to have their migrants walk the trail of death.

    So Obrador's rapists from the old refugee camp won't be employed at t new one? And it's safer than ever because it's further into the inter of Mexico?

    They're not "Obrador's rapists." And yes, the refugees who are turned
    away will have better access to the things they need.

    You said Obrador's migrant camps were "inhumane," but you've never even been there. Now, you, the expert on migrant camps, are declaring this new facility "safe," and you've never been there either. That's careless. Did the media
    tell you that they were unsafe during the Trump admin? And now they're telling you their safe? Obrador was president then and he's president now. You're sick with devotion to the Biden Regime.

    Suppose I'm a Venezuelan migrant, who's been racistly targeted by the Biden Administration and forced to stay in Mexico to wait for asylum processing, and while I was there, they raped me, robbed me, and didn't give me any food. What number do I call to complain? And how will my issues be resolved? How much
    can I sue the US gov for? And why target Venezuelans? We take 25,000 refugees from around the world in a single year, so why turn our backs on a modest quantity of Venezuelans?

    How many 2nd-degree murders did Trump commit? Should he be held accountable for those?

    Not as many as Joe!

    In reality though, what has Joe done to strengthen the DEA or any oth police force? (Nothin!)

    This was announced just a few weeks ago. The question was, and still is, where were Biden & Kamala when the police needed them? Why did they bail violent criminals out of jail while campaigning for the 2020 election? They weren't helping police when the official slogan for Democrats was "Defund the Police."

    Are you certain that *535* members of Congress were working on "destroy Trump" for 7 straight years? That "fact" seems a little fishy.

    Maybe around 224 Democrats and 2 Republicans.

    Or they are afraid of China or are, as Jeff has suggested, afraid of who might want to come snoop around in the USA later.

    I suspect it is a mixture of the two... assuming they can think as far ahead as Jeff. Otherwise, it is probably the first one.

    I hope you're right about that. I feel misled by just about every Democrat and by many Democrat supporters.

    They do research like that in order to get out ahead of viruses, I know, but that sounds a lot like a gain of function that could cause a problem later. The articles I have seen/heard about it do not mention their purpose for doing it, which leaves on to assume whatever they might... which is dangerous. If "why" is a secret, it is probably better not to tell us the "what," either.

    Unless that research is for development of a real vaccine for covid, which it sounds like it's not, then I'd prefer that they discontinue it. (It shouldn't be allowed in that case.)

    If your statement was about the Mueller investigation, then it was not expensive. In fact -- it showed a net profit.

    If you cherry pick your facts, then I bet it did show a "net profit."

    No cherry picking needed. Simply subtract the direct cost from the
    amount recovered by forfeits and finesin the cases where charges were
    brought. The result is positive.

    They need sponsors, and fortunately there are people and organizations willing to sponsor them. Jobs are not "infrastructure."

    There's no such thing as sponsors for illegal immigrants, unless you
    count the fact that Democrats "sponsor" them.

    Of course there are no sponsors for illegal immigrants. They are
    deported as soon as they are apprehended. It is refugee asylum seekers
    who get sponsors.

    What's the leftists' plan for 600,000 people who lack the legal right to support themselves and their families?

    If you're referring to illegal immigrants, and not refugees, then they will probably find work in the agriculture, hospitality, and construction industries, as they have for decades now.

    We're throwing gas & diesel school
    buses in the trash, but those buses could be used to transport the migrants better than making them walk. If I were you, I would urge the other coldies to start providing a bus shuttle service to start picking them up at least at 2 stops: 1 in Panama & 1 in Mexico. That way we prevent a lot of deaths and a lot of robberies. Ask all your leftist friends why they prefer to have their migrants walk the trail of death.

    No one is forcing anyone to do anything.

    You said Obrador's migrant camps were "inhumane," but you've never even been there. Now, you, the expert on migrant camps, are declaring this
    new facility "safe," and you've never been there either. That's
    careless. Did the media tell you that they were unsafe during the Trump admin? And now they're telling you their safe? Obrador was president
    then and he's president now. You're sick with devotion to the Biden Regime.

    They were not, and are not, "Obrador's migrant camps."

    Suppose I'm a Venezuelan migrant, who's been racistly targeted by the Biden Administration and forced to stay in Mexico to wait for asylum processing,

    Waiting in Mexico for asylum processing was Trump's plan, not Biden's. Venezuelans are not being told to wait; they are being turned away entirely.

    processing, and while I was there, they raped me, robbed me, and didn't give me any food. What number do I call to complain? And how will my issues be resolved? How much can I sue the US gov for? And why target Venezuelans? We take 25,000 refugees from around the world in a single year, so why turn our backs on a modest quantity of Venezuelans?

    I don't know where you're getting your numbers, but 25,000 is the number of Venezuelans we've agreed to take in per year.

    Because the would be saying the quiet part out loud: political contributions are a form of bribery.
    Biden's ultra-liberal policies are not evidence of him being "ultra-liberal."
    It's evidence of him taking bribes. He's got nothing to gain with all
    this liberal stuff, other than bribes. He looks bad, his family looks
    bad, he makes his party look bad, he ruined the country. Why do all this bad stuff for no reason? He's not some kind of anarchist - he's taking bribes.

    Ah, so now Biden's taking bribes, is he? I don't suppose you have any actual evidence to back up that accusation...

    "Evidence?" Of course I don't have evidence. I hope someone does though!

    And there we go. You're making up accusations.

    Yes! And that would be a more appropriate thing to spend a bunch money on; find out how it happened, then invest money in the pre of a repeat.
    Are you suggesting that if it were found to b the fault of a Chinese then the proper solution would be pouring American money into Chinese labs?
    No, just find out how it happened the best you can, and then try like
    hell to make sure it never happens again, based on the information you
    got from your investigation. Whether the Chinese cooperate or not, we should "investigate" the best we can. But nah, because the Joe Regime doesn't want the poor people to know the truth.

    The notion that the virus escaped a Chinese lab is nothing but an unfounded conspiracy theory.

    There are murderers among us. The best we can do is to catch them and hold them accountable for their crimes.
    Yea, it would be dumb to try to stop any of the crime, because we can
    try to capitalize on votes from all the crime victims later.

    We do capture and deport illegal immigrants. To get them all would be cripplingly expensive due to the law of diminishing returns.

    Whether the article was a lemon or not, migrants who have been g robbed and raped by cartel smugglers for several days straight, have much money left over to buy lunch once they finally arrive, they're hungry. When Joe invited them, he should have told them extra sandwiches.
    So now we're talking about refugees again? Refugees have a support system.
    No. Not refugees. Illegals. Why do you conflate them so much? Do you
    think illegals have more money in their pockets than refugees?

    Biden certainly didn't "invite" illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are
    able to work. Not legally, of course, but there is a demand for their labor.

    It's not just food that they need; humans have needs. They didn' thousand miles just to starve; the illegal deeds will continue u their needs are met.
    Illegals are not eligible for employment. They're eligible for deportation.

    They cannot work legally, but that does not mean that a market for their
    labor doesn't exist.

    We were talking about "more fentanyl with Joe than Trump, d border policies." Now, who was carrying this 1700 lbs. of f
    It doesn't say, but it says that it happened on Dec 14, 2021.
    The date is irrelevant. That amount of anything cannot be carried by person without a vehicle.
    The date is relevant to who's border policies were in effect at the time of the bust. Whether it crossed by person or by vehicle, it crossed illegally.

    No, it didn't. It got busted. Just as fentanyl shipments did under Trump.
    And, under Trump, a lot of fentanyl made it in, too.

    CBP officers have also complained that they can't catch illegals they're so busy with pulling bodies out of the river and/or assi refugees.
    The refugees will wait as long as necessary, and there aren't *that* bodies being pulled out of the river.
    You're addicted to weasel words. The news says that mortuaries in the Rio Grande Valley are full of drowning victims.

    What news?

    Not much is known about "most fentanyl entering the US," but muc imagined.
    Around 85% of the seizures are at legal points of entry, being transported by US citizens.
    It doesn't matter, it's still a border problem. Give CBP the wall
    they've been asking for.

    A wall won't stop fentanyl from crossing the border at legal points of entry, transported by US citizens. Gov. Abbott tried increased inspections of
    incoming traffic, but it was a failure. It pretty much shut down US/Mexico commerce for the better part of a day before it was abandoned.

    Abbott has also tried deploying tens of thousands of Texas law enforcement officers and National Guard members to the border. It apparently did not make much of a difference.

    Anything is better than a conservative thinking they're right about something that they have no facts about.
    Right, so how safe did you feel when you slept at Joe's new Mexican "rape-free" migrant camp?

    A refugee camp near an urban center would have numerous advantages over one situated in a desert populated by small towns.

    I'm not aware of Biden and Harris bailing violent criminals out of jail
    while campaigning for the 2020 election.

    They weren't helping police when the official slogan for Democrats was "Defund the Police."

    The official slogan of the Democrat party was never "Defund the Police."
