Visiting the southern border
Harris may be staying away, but Trump is planning a visit at the invitation of Texas governor Abbott:
“Biden and Harris won’t even tour the scenes of the wreckage they created, or come down and visit with the Border Patrol and ICE heroes risking their lives to defend our Nation at a time when the White House is doing everything it can to make their job totally impossible,” Trump said, before describing their actions as “a grave and willful dereliction of duty.”
Trump hopes his visit to the border will “shine a spotlight on these crimes against our Nation—and show the incredible people of ICE and Border Patrol that they have our unshakeable support.”
The announced date for Trump’s visit is June 30.
Trump certainly isn’t slinking away post-election like the left hoped he would. They must consider him to be some sort of vampire, and are continuing their efforts to drive a stake into his heart. The Wuhan COVID lab revelations put a bit of a crimp in their style, but they’re good at regrouping and continue to think a legal avenue might be just the thing.
He just won’t go away. He just won’t give up.
I fear for his life.
It never fails with the totalitarian minded; remove the threat; permanently.
Yet, if that comes to pass, they’ll have created that most mortal of threats… a martyr. They’ve already created one in Ashli Babbit. But Trump’s martydom would create a far greater shadow.
One wonders how much gratitude has been shown by the cartels and the coyotes for the massive increase in their ill-gotten revenue (at the expense of both the American citizenry and of the poor beleaguered migrants) to the criminally incompetent Harris/Biden administration; there can be few parallels in recent history for such a grotesque abdication of responsibility as the complete overturning, within days and continuing for months, of Trump’s sensible policies on the border and the fomenting of utter chaos instead, to the detriment of all save the criminal organizations themselves.
Trump’s continued political presence is a tough case.
On the one hand, as long as he’s around it means a bunch of vile and evil garbage can’t just be shoved up the carpet so we can all “move on.”
On the other hand, there are millions of people who would rather slit their neighbor’s throat than admit they were wrong about Trump or anything Trump-related.

I believe that one of “Biden” ‘s true regrets, insofar as “he” ‘s able to harbor such feelings, is that there is no land bridge between Mexico and Florida.
Of course, “he” could be planning to build a giant causeway from Cancun to Tampa; but it would be far easier to just bus the migrants straight to the panhandle or fly them into Orlando (where Mickey and Minnie and the gang would welcome them with open arms).
Yep, fling that “Humanitarian” stone and perhaps even wing DeSantis with it as well, smack on the forehead.
Brilliant move. The press will be unable to keep itself from reporting on this, and it will highlight the failure of Biden to do anything more than put Harris in charge of the border, knowing she would do nothing substantive.
There is no border crisis. The border is closed. We are assured of that by the head of DHS and Kamala. Trump’s visit will be covered by the MSM. But not in the way we hope. It will be framed as an attempt to gin up a border crisis. Filed President and whack GOP governor try to create a crisis where there is none. At least that’s my guess.
What’s really happening is an unopposed invasion of a million or two illegal immigrants in the next year. This is an orchestrated operation. Many NGOs such as Pueblas Sin Fronteras and others are financing the illegals and finding them shelter once they arrive. Got a barrio in your town? Areas of your town where Hispanic people cluster together. Often living three or four families in one house. Most of them will work at whatever menial jobs they can find, but some will be mules or dealers for the drug cartels. When election time rolls around this is where the vote harvesters will collect ballots. Got motor voter registration? They’ll be registered to vote when they get their driver’s licenses. Most every town in agriculture country has a barrio. And there are barrios in the major Democrat controlled cities.
Four years of this and imagine what this country will be like.
“there are millions of people who would rather slit their neighbor’s throat than admit they were wrong about Trump or anything Trump-related.” MBunge
That assertion may well be true and if so, it provides support for the Christian assertion that many (perhaps the majority) will never see Heaven’s gates.
Just my take but it’s not faith in Jesus per se, that gets you into heaven, its support for the principles upon which he stood. Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim… it matters not, Christ knows his own, knows what lurks in the heart…
Rather than admit profound error, a willingness to slit a neighbor’s throat instead is proof positive of an unfitness to commune with the divine.
@GB:
True.
But whilst you were meditating upon the finer points of soteriology, your neighbour slit your throat.
The trick is to slit his throat first, give him a decent burial, express a heartfelt contrition for acting in self-defence, and then proceed with a light heart to further studies in the Queen of the Sciences.
I live in the Phoenix area. This week I saw 2 cars (different days, locations) with Trump stickers. That’s more then I saw during the last election season. And these were not past election stickers. The natives are restless.
For a guy who’s shut out of the social media & most major media streams…that POTUS 45 gets a ton of press & free rent in other peoples’ heads.
But until there’s a minefield & machine gun nests along the Rio Grande…that border’s open.
Yes. Don’t forget that Maximising Attention is Trump’s Personal Utility Function Prime Directive. Any benefit to the people of the USA is a side-effect. Nice when you can get it. That is all.
J.J., don’t forget the Fentanyl explosion together with the human trafficking (as well as the increased power, prestige and money that is being granted to Mexico’s entrepreneurial “class”).
Remember: the worse it gets the better it gets (for anyone who thought that the Democrats were original…).
Talk about projection.
It seems to me that Trump’s acting a bit like the “Leader of the Opposition” in a parliamentary-style system.
In this system, the out-of-power party maintains a “shadow” leadership and cabinet, (Shadow Ministers for…, Spokesman for …) to criticize the government, and offer an alternative to the voters.
When (if…) they get back in power, they have a ready-made team to take on the senior positions of government.
I’ve often thought that the US should adopt something like that. I know that US cabinet-members are not members of congress, but having various candidates “practice” for these positions must surely help.
@FOAF:
Be a good fellow now and go pop an O xy Con Tin.
(Good Readers: Ask yourselves why I can type Fentanyl as one word, but if I remove the artificial spacing from the word above then my posts get auto-censored and don’t appear.)
@Damon:
Having spent many of my formative years in a parliamentary democracy nation, trust me when I say that all you get is slightly different expressions of the same old whoring and incompetence.
Besides, in both, Government is run by the permanent bureaucracy, the commentariat, political donors, etc.
Some Trump Demagoguery shines light in a few dark places and might make some Normies see things more clearly, but there is no such thing as a Loyal Opposition in a Parliamentary Democracy — you always end up with the UniParty Punch and Judy Show. Same as USA has now.
There is no voting or constitutional tweaking your way out of this.
Zaphod craves 0xycontin or just attention? 🙂
Same thing except the actual mechanisms of the different nations, Great Britain, Zimbabwe, CCP, and the USA. All the same, yet how profound, this dude from Can Do! If only he were the Dear Leader, then all would be well. Take your ()xycontin or your 0xycontin beeblebrox.
