    You are just like that guy running around yelling "the world is ending today". And when asked why he keeps running around yelling "the world is ending today" every day, he responds "Well, it's bound to happen one day".
    You have been crying wolf every day and the world hasn't ended.
    BTW, you aren't a genius.

    Were you around when Jimmy Carter was president? If not, google him. Biden is the 2nd coming. But worse. You better enjoy this time while you can. 8-10 months from now, you won't be able to deny what a disaster Joe is. It's about to get UGLY.

    Two months in a row we have had the largest numbers of illegal criminals crossing the border into the USA. YUP Biden Built This!


    Border crisis worsens: Highest number of migrants in two decades crossed into US illegally during April

    Border apprehensions during the month of April reached a new 20-year record, breaking the previous record set in March.
    "CBP continues to see a large influx of illegal migration along the Southwest Border," Customs and Border Protection chief Troy Miller said.
    How many migrants came in April?

    CBP agents encountered 178,622 migrants attempting to enter the U.S. via the southern border last month, a 3% increase over March.
    The number is more than 10 times greater than April 2020, when 17,106 migrants were caught at the southern border.
    In fact, border apprehensions during President Joe Biden's first three full months in office — February, March, and April — now exceed all total apprehensions during fiscal year 2020, the last complete fiscal year prior to Biden's presidency.
    According to CBP data, single adults constituted the majority of all migrant encounters last month. Meanwhile, CBP deported more than 111,000 adults back to Mexico under the Title 42 public health order. CBP said 62.5% of all adult encounters resulted in a Title 42 deportation.
    Fortunately, encounters of unaccompanied minors dropped 12% last month from 15,918 in March to 13,962.

    The CBP celebrated the fact that most unaccompanied minors who crossed the border are no longer in CBP custody, saying only 455 minors remained in the agency's care as of Tuesday.
    However, that statistic may be misleading. While the number of children in CBP custody is down significantly, many of those children remain in government care — just under a different department, the Department of Health and Human Services.
    In fact, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) is accusing the Biden administration of playing a "shell game" with unaccompanied migrant children to mislead the public.
    "What they're doing now is they're moving the kids from the Border Patrol tents over to, next door, to the HHS facility," Cuellar said. "With all due respect, it's all been a shell game."
    Cuellar has been one of Biden's most vocal critics during the border crisis. Cuellar represents a congressional district on the U.S.-Mexico border, so he understands the realities of the border crisis. Cuellar has said that Biden's immigration policies and his promises to reverse former President Donald Trump's deterrent policies have contributed to the border crisis.
    Anything else?

    Mark Morgan, former acting CBP commissioner, reacted to April's numbers by claiming the message from Biden remains the same.
    "The message is clear—America's borders are open," Morgan said, the Daily Wire reported. "If you make it to the border as an unaccompanied minor or as part of a family unit, you will likely be released into the interior. Once that happens, the Biden administration will do nothing to remove you, as the plummeting deportation numbers from ICE make clear. In fact, the Biden administration will push to give you the greatest reward of all—American citizenship via amnesty—in response to your lawbreaking."
    Neither Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris have visited the border during the migrant crisis.

    Why didn't she tell biden this when he canceled the XL?


    Biden Energy Sec Now Says 'Pipe Is the Best Way' to Transport Fuel Even Though Admin Canceled Keystone Pipeline

    One of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet members admitted on Tuesday that pipelines are the best way to transport fuel when discussing the recent cyberattack against Colonial Pipeline and the related fuel shortage.
    Residents of the Southeastern U.S. have had a hard time obtaining fuel in the days since a criminal organization known as DarkSide allegedly targeted the crucial pipeline last week, causing it to be shut down.
    On Tuesday, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was on the case during a White House media briefing.

    But first, a bit of background on Biden’s energy secretary: Perhaps no Cabinet official chosen by the White House is more comically absurd than Granholm, the former governor of Michigan. This is a woman who, just a couple of months ago, bragged that her electric car runs on “sunshine.”
    Never mind the fact that batteries are charged directly or indirectly through the burning of fossil fuels. Speaking of fossil fuels, people in the southeast need them, and due to a supply chain disruption, there aren’t enough of the refined ones getting to those who need them.

    Is there a solution? According to Granholm, it’s to simply wait for Colonial to get its operations back online — which will hopefully happen by the end of this week. Granholm said people need to be patient with the pipeline while tankers fill in the supply gaps.
    Granholm, when discussing the Colonial pipeline with reporters, then said something which calls into question everything this radical and inept administration has said about pipelines since before Jan. 20.

    Despite the Biden administration using its first day in office to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline — costing thousands of jobs — Granholm appeared to make a stunning admission: Pipelines aren’t so bad.
    In fact, they’re the “best,” according to her.
    “We have doubled down on ensuring that there’s an ability to truck oil in, gas in, but it’s — the pipe is the best way to go,” Granholm said. “And so that’s why hopefully this company, Colonial, will in fact be able to restore operations by the end of the week as they have said.”
    An administration that made canceling a pipeline one of its first intentional mistakes is now saying that pipelines are the best way to transport a lot of fuel really quickly? Admitting one is wrong late is better than never.

    Pipelines can move oil and gas quickly and consistently. Pipelines don’t put error-prone human drivers or the motorists they encounter on highways at risk when hauling tons of explosive liquids around the country. Pipelines are less prone to creating environmental disasters, as is so often the case when fuel is transported by road, rail or barge.
    To quote Granholm, a pipeline is “is the best way to go.”

    Why didn’t that rationale apply when Biden nixed the Keystone XL pipeline, costing thousands of jobs?
    Is this a new leaf for the Biden administration, or simply another misstatement wherein the truth was errantly uttered?
    Biden himself accidentally told the truth last month when he described the quagmire on the southern border as a “crisis.”
    Of course, his advisers had to correct the record to ensure it reflected that he did not mean to call the border crisis a crisis.

    Don’t look for Granholm, Biden or anyone else in this radical administration to repeat that praise of pipelines again.
    It sometimes appears that officials within the Biden administration are capable of being honest, but only when they say something truthful by accident.
