There is so much going on in D.C., not just with Joe Biden and the Misfit Toys. Things are explosive on the Hill, and even the Supreme Court is chipping in. And don’t forget the fabricated farce of a trial in New York where the poor excuse of a D.A., Alvin Bragg, has been assigned the task of keeping Donald Trump off the campaign trail for six to eight weeks. We have a never-ending battle in Ukraine and the retaliation by Israel against Hamas that is causing weeks of unrest in American colleges. America is in chaos, and we are pulling the world into the vortex. All of this distortion is taking our attention away from our biggest concern, and that is the open spigot of humanity at what used to be our southern border.

I will not give Biden credit for creating this plethora of distractions. He is incapable of such a sophisticated operation, but I will give him 100% credit for the broken country we must put back together after we oust him on November 5. The attention given to these ancillary situations works in the favor of Biden by taking the focus off the border and the economy.

The border is still hemorrhaging, and we know it is a two-fold issue. We still have over 300,000 unvetted migrants from around the globe, and these people are transported into cities and towns coast to coast. The latest numbers are in for what Biden’s border crisis is costing us, and the numbers are huge. The total cost in 2023 was $150 billion or nearly $9,000 per migrant. That is more than what is paid to Seniors for Medicare or veterans. In other words, two of our most treasured groups, the people who protected our freedom and the folks who have been investing in America the longest, are below illegal migrants when it comes to the country paying back. Nobody in Washington should sleep well with those sinful facts. To compound the border crisis, Biden will start importing Gaza refugees. It is unclear when this influx will begin or how many refugees Biden intends to bring to America. There are many countries, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, in the Middle East that could take refugees, but every country said no, thank you. None of these countries wants to take the risk and danger these refugees would present, and many of them will be Hamas terrorists. But Joe thinks it a good idea to bring them to America. Joe, do not bring any more than will fit into Delaware. Many Democrats, led by John Fetterman (D-PA), have seen enough and realize if they do not speak out, they will suffer the same peril as Biden in the fall.

Gas prices, grocery prices, home heating fuel, home/apartment costs, and interest rates continue to rise, far outpacing any wage increases. New job numbers are disappointing, including far too many new government jobs, and unemployment numbers are ticking up. There are no positive numbers in the economy that Biden can point to and say are a result of Bidenomics. It is becoming impossible for anyone to say they are better off under Biden than Trump.

The smoke will clear before the election, especially if Trump is able to get Biden on the debate stage. Biden’s faults will be exposed, and hopefully, voters, especially the undecided, will see the real Biden and realize we need Trump back in the White House to fix what Biden broke.
