Here’s my appearance on Newsmax, discussing former President Trump’s devouring of CNN on last week’s townhall.

My monologue from Saturday’s TBN TV show, about our spendaholic politicians and their lethal addiction to blowing money we don’t have.

And in case you were having too big a Mother’s Day celebration to tune in, here’s my entire TBN show from this past weekend. It features everything from great music and astounding magic to a newsmaking interview with former US Attorney Bud Cummins, who was spied on by the Deep State after he tried to bring a possible Biden family scandal to their attention. All that, plus the world’s best apple pie recipe! Even if you already saw it, you’ll want to see it again.

This is a welcome change:
Instead of nothing but bad news from the border, there’s some “good news (sort of)/bad news.”
The bad news you can already guess. It’s a chaotic mess with a huge crush of illegal entrants, and the Biden Administration is doing everything in its power to wave them in while looking like they’re trying to stop them. For instance, they put on a stern face and insist that applicants for asylum will have to go to court hearings…but there’s such a backlog thanks to them that some of those initial hearings won’t even roll around until 2033.
But I try to look on the bright side, so here’s the positive news, such as it is. DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas boasted that there’s been a “50 percent drop” in the number of entrants the Border Patrol was encountering over the past couple of days. He said, “It’s extraordinary what we’ve done over the past 18 months or so.” Finally, he says something I can agree with.
But, a few asterisks: while the numbers are down, that’s not because of anything Biden’s done. Quite the contrary. The numbers dropped because they started out from a record high. And then some action was actually taken to stop the invasion, by soldiers putting up razor wire, blocking pathways and physically repelling entrants. But those soldiers are the Texas National Guard. Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted that Biden sent 1500 troops “to do paperwork,” while “Texas deployed trained soldiers and troopers to take real action.”
So it’s like all the job creation Biden takes credit for: it’s mostly thanks to red states ignoring him completely. We’ll see if Biden is able to find a way to prevent Texas from protecting its own border so the numbers can go back up, which many experts expect to see soon.
And those starving for good border news can leap on this scrap: The federal judge who issued a restraining order blocking Biden’s plan to misuse the “parole with conditions” power to release thousands of illegal aliens in the US without court dates because the holding facilities are full (and why is that, inquiring minds want to know?) refused to lift it. More than that, he branded the request to lift his restraining order “borderline frivolous,” and mocked their arguments as “Chicken Little” alarmism.
The judge pointed out their lack of logical consistency in claiming that (A.) only a tiny fraction of the illegal entrants would be released, and (B.) releasing them is necessary to ease the dangerous overcrowding at migrant facilities. So they’re dangerously overcrowded by a “tiny fraction” of their population?
Mayorkas spent Sunday making the rounds of friendly liberal media outlets to claim that this border disaster is all someone else’s fault and they’ve done a great job on it. That was so mind-boggling that not even Savannah Guthrie at NBC could swallow it.
So far, they’ve blamed it on Congress and Republicans and now they’re blaming the “broken immigration system,” with a side order of blaming Congress for not fixing it. They claim it’s been broken for decades, so it’s not their fault. I recognize that argument (“It was broken when I got here!”) as something kids and grandkids say when you catch them standing over a smashed lamp with a baseball bat in their hands. The system might have been broken, but it wasn’t smashed to pieces until Biden got his hands on it.
But the quote of the day goes to the oligarch of obliviousness, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Ignoring the busloads of illegal aliens arriving from Texas and let off next to her house, Harris said this:
“I hear that everything over the last couple days is going rather smoothly given what the concerns were, and the bottom line, however, is that the issue of immigration falls squarely within the responsibility of the United States Congress. So we've done what we can.”
I immediately thought of the classic Laurel and Hardy comedy “Helpmates.” Stan comes over to help Ollie clean up after a wild party before his wife gets home. By the time he finishes “helping,” Stan is holding a water hose on the smoldering ashes that are all that remain of Ollie’s house. He turns to Ollie and in a perfect Kamala-like delivery, says, “Well…There's nothing else I can do.” To which Ollie replies, “Certainly not.”
The only difference between Biden & Harris and Laurel & Hardy is that when Stan and Ollie burn everything down, it’s funny.
