It is getting much too difficult to hold back the anger and continue to write with a modicum of respect for the President and his Administration. For a President, a lifetime politician, to declare he would have the most transparent Administration in our history is a joke. Let me say that again. It is a joke. Joe Biden is not concerned with the historic Crisis he has created on our former Southern Border, but he is upset with the reporting of the Crisis by FOX News and specifically Bill Melugin. Bill and his team have been the only news team reporting from the Border, and Biden would just as soon shut him down.

It does not matter that over four million illegals have crossed in the 21 months of the Biden term. The mainstream media wants no part of it. Nor does Joe Biden and his Border Czar Kamala Harris. Neither has ever set foot at the Border between America and Mexico. Over seventy years of public service, and neither could find the time. They don’t care is the real reason, and they don’t want anyone else to either.

The West Wing’s official word today is that the President is agitated by the coverage. They actually suggested that they would prefer FOX not to use drone footage because it gives too broad a picture of what is happening as thousands cross every day. It is not a problem that there is a crisis but that one network, FOX News, has the audacity to report on it daily. This attempt by the President to suppress the story should be a story in itself. But not in the world of biased media we all live with.

Suppression, gas-lighting, silence, or outright lying is how the Biden Administration defines transparency. This effort by the White House contributes to the great divide amongst the people of this great country. Half the folks get their info from FOX and the other half from the many outlets of the MSM.

Biden is trying to change the focus of the flow of illegals. We know that they come from over 159 countries worldwide. This has never been about the Northern Triangle as the Left has claimed for years. Biden is now trying to key on those from Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. This approach narrows it down to countries where people flee for fear of their lives. This makes it look like a humanitarian situation rather than people just taking advantage of Biden’s destructive policies and the lack of a secure Border.

Biden criticizes Abbott and DeSantis for being proactive by sending buses and planes full of illegals to Sanctuary States. He says they should sit down and work on a solution to the Border Crisis and immigration. Mr. President, the Border is not their problem to solve. It is yours and that of the Federal Government. One of the only purposes of the Federal tier is to protect our sovereignty and secure our Borders. They are doing neither.

The success that FOX News, and reporters like Bill Milugen, have had in reporting the real story of the Crisis at the Border shows the total incompetence of the Administration in controlling the Crisis. Biden would prefer we all live in the darkness of ignorance. Maybe he can distribute a pair of dark lens aviators to every American. Then we can all enjoy ignorant bliss. It has worked for Biden for more than fifty years.
