Priorities
I had a boss who set forth many priorities for the next year. His boss told me that he was only concerned about three things and everything else was optional. In 2015, Mark Steyn mentioned that Trump was the only one of the seventeen Republican candidates emphasizing border security. He was elected and the establishment fought him tooth and nail. But he succeeded in greatly reducing illegal immigration.
Biden has opened up the border with Mexico and millions of unverified illegals are coming in freely. Some are being flown into the U.S. at our expense. The Republicans hold the House but have done nothing to secure the border. They haven’t tried to trade our number 1 priority for Democratic priorities. The leaders don’t care. Our number 1 priority of securing the border is something they use only as a slogan. What will they say when we have a 911-type of terrorist attack. I despair for our country. I’ve called repeatedly my representative Rob Wittman. In December, his staffer told me that the Speaker agreed that this was the last continuing resolution and border security was a top priority. I think that was several CRs ago. They continue to be concerned about Ukrainian border security and indifferent to our own. Americans were required to get the COVID jab; illegals were given a pass. I told NTers on Ricochet in 2020 that four years of Biden would lead to the destruction of our country. It’s happening and the Republican congressional leaders are twiddling their thumbs.
