Senile Is As Senile Does — and Joe Biden Is Senile​

America is still slack-jawed in amazement at last week's blithering antics of President Cornholio. The guy would have to work his way up to being senile, and the fact that he was always stupid and arrogant and malicious just makes his present condition a million times worse. That the guy is manifestly unfit to be president is obvious; what is also obvious is that this guy isn't going anywhere. It's Trump versus Biden all the way to November.

Court Denies Biden’s Effort to Dis­miss Texas' Law­suit Against Admin's Uncon­sti­tu­tion­al 'Asy­lum Rule'

“The Biden White House must not be permitted to ignore Congress and violate the Constitution. We take every opportunity to hold Mr. Biden accountable for his unlawful overreach,” said Texas Att. Gen. Ken Paxton, after a court ruled in Texas' favor that Mr. Biden's proposed "Asylum Rule" violates both the statutory system Congress established, and the Constitution – a significant development that could provide future precedent for other courts to find Texas has standing to challenge Biden’s unlawful immigration policies.

CLELAND: Will the Cost of Protecting Teens Online Be a Another Example of Weaponized Federal Government?

Both state and federal legislators are actively pushing legislation designed to “protect our children online.” There is, of course, already a federal Children’s Online Privacy Act regulating the online collection of personal information on children under 13 years of age – so the shift toward heavy regulation and liability has been leading some industry-watchers to speculate whether the real motive is to drive up costs for social media so the companies will be put out of business by a weaponized Federal Government.

HANSON: Biden & His Open-Border Democrat Party Are in an Absurd Border Con Game Quandary

In 2021, Joe Biden opened an inherited, secure Southern Border that had finally stopped mass illegal immigration. For four years, Donald Trump had battled The Courts, his Democrat Opposition, and the Open-Border Establishment – and somehow through it all had managed to rebuild some of the old Border Fence. He had ended Obama's "Catch & Release" programs, and leveraged Mexico's president into policing his own border and halting the cynical transport of illegal aliens into the U.S. Then came Joe Biden.

Cong. Weber Warns President Biden: Federalizing the Texas National Guard 'Flagrantly Violates Constitutional Bounds.'

“Under the U.S. Constitution, Governor Abbott has been granted the authority to maintain and deploy the National Guard for domestic emergencies on Texas soil. Gov. Abbott has diligently safeguarded our citizens, with the Texas National Guard at the forefront in halting the incursion. Federalizing Texas troops would be an encroachment on Texas’ constitutionally protected sovereignty. We urge you to reconsider the policies that created this crisis, and urge you to join Gov. Abbott in protecting the American people from this invasion.”

ELDER: If Trump's Called 'Racist' for Saying 'Invasion,' Is Al Sharpton Racist When He Says It?

December 2023 set a record – 371,000 monthly illegal entries, or 12,000 a day. Several migrants beat up New York Police Officers, and walked. And now, even Al Sharpton calls the unprecedented number of illegal entries an "invasion." Said Sharpton recently: "You're seeing an influx of migrants all over the country that, frankly, have people outraged. Why are you allowing this to continue? .We're looking every day at the invasion of migrants, and they're playing a time game with politics on this?"

MORICI: Why Trump’s Appeal Endures & Represents, Despite Liberal's Massive Misread

Democrats, the Media & Joe Biden are all apoplectic that former President Donald Trump may recapture the White House. But Mr. Biden’s age isn't the primary problem. Rather, its his "remaking America" with uncontrolled illegal immigration and his "our democracy" programs that are focused on – and most importantly are – hurting Independent & Swing Voters. Moderate Americans – and more Blacks & Hispanics than liberals admit – view "Establishment” Democrats & Republicans and the Legal System as unfair.

CONG. WEBER: Demands Biden End his Sudden Ban on America's Natural Gas, LNG Exports

“Southeast Texas is uniquely placed on the Gulf Coast, its full of the world's cleanest refineries and ports to ship our nation's Oil & Gas to allies across the world, the Sabine-Neches Waterway's projected to be the largest LNG exporter in the U.S. – but President Biden just killed this all with a stroke of his pen. We have the ability to produce energy cleaner, more efficiently, and at lower costs than any other nation in the world – and we need to start acting like it instead of hindering our own ability.”

HUNTER: To Hell with Democrats & Joe Biden – We Don’t Want a Border 'Deal,' We Want Arrests & Deportations

It needs to be made clear to Joe Biden & his Democrat buddies that selling us out will not be tolerated. After years of saying there was no Border Crisis, that it was "secure" and that Republicans were fearmongering on the issue, they've now switched to, “If you want a secure border, this bill creates one.” If the 2nd statement is true, the 1st one can’t be. If the 1st ones are true, the 2nd one is a lie. The time for deals is over, and they blew it. ​​​​​​​This isn’t the start of negotiations, it’s the end of them.
