Democratic Panic Grows Over Biden’s Invasion of the Illegals

 

By John Kass

February 25, 2024

Watching Democrats soil themselves in panic over President Joe Biden’s invasion of his illegal immigrants in “Sanctuary Cities” is rather like watching a Stephen King horror movie with a bag of chips.

Whether it’s the eerily creepy “The Outsider” or the terror of “The Shining,” when you’re this deep into the horror story you know one things to be true:

The feeling you’ve got in the pit of your stomach won’t get any better.

It’ll only get worse.

This panic is wriggling through the Democrat consciousness like the startled snakes from the head of Medusa in that painting by Reubens.

And in response, the Biden White House sends out whisperers to CNN and other Biden/Obama friendly media to test market and then tease yet another executive order, this another of his bad fantasies, as if actually interested in changing course now and helping his country that he’s sold to China.

But it’s all just gaslighting. He’s not changing course on the border. He has had four years and has done nothing except to promote the invasion of his illegals. And now the White House hints that he’s changing what’s left of his mind?

Only fools would believe it. He wants support for another forever war in Ukraine. And he’s trying to appease the hard left Bolsheviks of his party who have demanded open borders and got them. Would he dare push new strategy and admit he’d been lying?

“I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power,” Biden said recently, just one of his many lies. “I’ve asked from the very day I got into office. Give me the Border Patrol. Give me the people — give me the people, the judges. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work right.”

Why doesn’t the New York Times fact-check that whopper? The Biden White House is playing a stupid game for stupid people, for idiot clowns. He doesn’t need “the power.” He’s president and he’s got the power. He’s got a pen. He’s got a phone. All he has to do is immediately rewrite the hideous executive orders that he wrote when he came into office.

This nonsense? It is all about confusing the chumbolones. But you’re not one of the chumbolones, are you? I hope not.

Since you’re here with me, I assume you’re not one of Biden’s idiot clowns or chumbolones. And I know you can see clearly what has happened to America.

At least 8 million illegals have come into the U.S. invited by Biden that are savaging the Democratic cities. The illegals demand food, shelter, medical care, and other amenities courtesy of American taxpayers. It is an unprecedented invasion assisted by the some 94 Biden presidential executive orders that Biden passed in his first 100 days in office. This was his promise to the American political left, to reverse the immigration policies of former President Donald Trump. And he succeeded. Bigly. Beyond the left’s wildest dreams.

Hundreds of thousands and more of men of military age traveling alone from a variety of nations that are hostile to the United States. From China, Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere.

When terrorism strikes—and it’s inevitable that it will—you can bet that Biden and his loyal Democrat stooges in corrupt corporate media will try to shift the blame and point fingers at Republicans. And if you try to point out that Biden signed some 95 presidential executive orders to unravel and kill all the good work Trump had done on the border they’ll just open their mouths like mythical flesh eating harpies and scream.

Bet that it will happen.

Meanwhile, Biden’s wide-open border policy has infuriated most everyone.

Black Democrats are so angry about Biden’s millions of illegal aliens crowding them out of the blue cities, and feeling betrayed by Biden, Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon “Panic Attacks” Johnson, that they’re publicly talking about leaving the Democrat plantation. They can see what he’s doing. He’s replacing them.

“We’re so angry here in Chicago which has been a Democratic stronghold for much of its eternity, with Pritzker and president Biden and with our mayor that we have decided we’re just going to vote Republican this time around,” said Chicagoan Cata Truss on “The Faulkner Focus” program on Fox News.

“That’s just how angry we are,” Truss said.

And when black Democrats in Chicago get angry and threaten to run off the political plantation, that’s when white political panic sets in. Because without black voters misled by political pimps and old white guys playing the race card, there is no Democrat Party.

Black candidates running as Democrats can always play the race card. There is no doubt in my mind that Johnson will play it again. It works for him. He wasn’t elected for his management abilities, was he?

His surrogates played the race card and the corrupt Chicago corporate media allowed them to play it because their politics were in alignment. Johnson expected black voters to vote black. They did.

The mostly white horde of American Bolsheviks in the Democrat Party don’t have the protection of race. And black people are hurting, helplessly watching their cities be overwhelmed, like the Democrat National Convention city of Chicago.

As loyal readers know, I’ve been writing about this for years.

Why? I’m a political writer. I don’t write many rom-coms and love stories. I’ve watched in fascination as Biden—kowtowing to the hard open-borders left—began kicking loyal black voters to the back of the bus, and what’s left of the black middle class in Chicago came into open conflict with Chicago’s Latinos.

Chicago is the American city of immigrants. I’m the son and grandson of immigrants who came here, legally, with nothing from poor villages in Southern Greece. So I am not anti-immigrant. I’m pro-immigrant, pro-legal immigrant.

Black Chicagoans are part of a great migration too, not from Europe but from the Democrat controlled apartheid Jim Crow South. And they haven’t forgotten the great migration, though others may have forgotten.

So when you watch black Democrats in Chicago protesting against Chicago Mayor “Panic Attacks” Johnson and Biden or those white lefty angry MSNBC commentators ripping on the hard left bible The New York Times for daring to fact check a Democrat, remember how this all began.

It began with Joe Biden putting out the call to all illegals everywhere, to storm America’s borders and demand asylum and he would let them in.

Now his allies are panicking, and wiggling and wriggling like the poison snakes of Medusa’s head. From their deadly forked tongues they hiss that he must do something about the border. But they sat there defending him year after year and now they want some kind of cosmetic change?

The most important presidential election in our lifetimes–one that determines if we remain a republic or if we slouch like apes toward complete Marxism–is just a few months away.

  1. No politician wants to give up his or her power since that’s their ultimate reward. Without the illegal influx, many Democrats (and a few Republicans) would lose the power because they’d be voted out. Try as I might, I can’t see any other gain by allowing a wide open southern border. Lord Acton had it figured out well over 100 years ago: “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you super add the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.”

    1. The plan is going off-script. This is what was supposed to happen:
      – Illegals swarm red border states.
      – Illegals tip the scale from red-to-blue (remember, these states are as divided as the rest of the country, there’s just a slight red-majority in them).

      But the border states did 2 unanticipated things:
      – They made hiring illegals harder. Those that do face fines/jail-time. This is actually pretty easy to implement: just setup a hotline for anonymous reporting.
      – When illegals do arrive in border states, they want to go to the blue sanctuary cities because they know that jobs for illegals are shut-down in the red states. So the red states oblige by sending them north.

      So the big election-day gambit won’t happen. Meanwhile the blue states get to digest the meal they ordered up.

      I don’t think the blue-state electorate will hold their politicians to account over this. Most blue folks support ‘popular-vote-majority’ over ‘geographic-vote-majority’ and don’t mind that team blue tried to bring down the ‘geographic-vote-majority’ by flipping red states with this stunt.

      1. Let’s not forget the stupidity that’s the legacy of Obama/Biden. Remember Fast & Furious? Not well thought out. This time they must have completely forgotten or severely underestimated the effect of military age men from hostile nations. They never think these things through. Just grabbing for short term gain/power.
        Oh… they must know it because they wanted Fast & Furious evidence destroyed, too: http://judiciary.house.gov/media/in-the-news/atf-set-to-destroy-guns-associated-with-obama-era-fast-and-furious-scandal

  2. Why blame all this on Biden? He does only what his handlers tell him to do. The only decision he is allowed to make is what flavor of ice cream to have today. He rules like a king by executive order, just as our great governor does because he is not accountable to American people but his handlers like his wife, the Obamas, and the poobahs of the Democratic Party. I would say left wing of the Democratic Party, but the Democrats don’t have a center or right ring anymore – the whole party is the left wing – no dissent from the party line or you are cut off from the gravy train. As to the voters, you get what you deserve, including paying for your foolishness. If you get taken for granted, it is no fault but your own.

    1. There is certainly some truth here. And blaming Biden for the way the country is being run is like blaming Ronald McDonald if you get a bad Burger. In fact Ronald McDonald is more likely to be able to fix your bad Burger situation then Biden fixing anything going on here because he’s literally a marionette just jerking hither and yon at the tug of his strings. But the rest of the crew Mr Kass mentions are indeed culpable and certainly should be held accountable. But I won’t hold my breath.

  3. Mr, Kass you, Sir, are at the top of your art!

    Magnificent poesy pack in prose!

    Thus: ” This panic is wriggling through the Democrat consciousness like the startled snakes from the head of Medusa in that painting by Reubens.

    And in response, the Biden White House sends out whisperers to CNN and other Biden/Obama friendly media to test market and then tease yet another executive order, this another of his bad fantasies, as if actually interested in changing course now and helping his country that he’s sold to China.”

      1. John I have always said you’re the only content provider I’ll gladly pay for and today you proved it again. It’s nice that blacks MIGHT be finally waking up to the Democrat con, but they have been complicit in this unsavory co-dependency with Dems for decades. They became reliable Chumbolones, bought and paid for right on cue every four years. Because of ingrained, monolithic thinking, it will still be many years before blacks will make a meaningful exodus from the Dems. But you gotta start somewhere. Keep up the great work, John!

  4. Biden is a huckster’s huckster. “I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power,” says the fraud who is desperately seeking to lay his incompetence elsewhere. On February 21st this charlatan who wants Congress to give him power and people to fix a problem he created on his own showed utter disregard and contempt for the powers given to each branch of government, and the authority of the Supreme Court when he uttered these words on student loan forgiveness which prove just how vacuous Biden’s governing ethics are: “But my MAGA Republican friends in the Congress, elected officials, and special interests stepped in and sued us. And the Supreme Court blocked it. They blocked it. But that didn’t stop me.” But that didn’t stop me. Apparently there is nothing he can’t do when it is something he wants to do to for the special interests he is enslaved to. Not even the will of the majority of the America people on issues of energy and immigration can stop him. The people can be ignored and pushed out of his way; he has crony constituents to take care of. Poor Joe. He needs help to fix the border. But he needs no help to relieve debt he has no legal or constitutional right to do so; he needs no help to shut down pipelines. He can tell us our cars must be electric, our gas stoves are hurting us, and government knows better for family than Mom and Dad do. He spits in the face of taxpayers. He blatantly disregards the authority of the Supreme Court. He has contempt for the principle of “just powers from the consent of the governed.” He is eviscerating the concept of borders and citizenry vital to any country. The day is upon us when the ruling elites have abandoned governing; they now exercise brute power and disregard for anything other than their own vested interest and retaining power at any cost, even the loss of the republic.

    1. There must be a solid Republican majority in the House and Senate in 2024 election for Trump to be effective.

      Democrats will challenge any and all executive orders from Trump essentially making him a lame duck President for his entire second term. However the entertainment value will be so good that CNN may hire back Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon.

  5. I applaud the judge who invalidated the “Bring Chicago Home” referendum on next months ballots.
    The Democratic socialists are pissed off yet the media fails to point out the irony of the millions spent on the illegals that have invaded our city and are sucking up tax payer money. If this money had gone to care for our homeless citizens, I’ll bet the tent cities would be mostly gone and our own citizens would be in much better condition .

    1. Keep one thing in mind. Although the Democratic National Convention will be is the putrid Democratic stronghold of Chicago, once it’s over, so will be Joe Biden. Unless the Democrats are totally devoid of rational thinking, Biden will not be their candidate for November. They can’t be that stupid….

  6. John C Lisicich,…you’re spot on perfect in your assessment of Mumbles. About him choosing different flavors ice creams,…I’m not too sure if he can even handle that. That would be a burden. I’m quite sure Dr. Jill has him stick to just one flavor,…vanilla-chocolate chip.

  7. The Chicago area is fortunate that it received the Kass family from Greece. Thank you God. Always have enjoyed your column John Kass, thank you to your parents.
    I feel that some people just don’t get it about the Biden/Obama presidency and it’s goals of destroying our USA. It began a long time ago, as you have properly documented, and nobody was looking. Now we have to make some corrections at the ballot box as that is how our freedoms and constitutionally written laws demand it. We are NOT a third world nation and never will be, but being on the precipice of that grouping is now at hand.
    Yes, it is time to rearrange our thoughts about a president that harbors mean thoughts and words and get rid of the snowflake attitude that permeates our younger generations that seem to have been coddled in the past……hopefully and prayerfully, I hope that white garment has been tossed and their patriotic stars and stripes has now clothed their loins.
    John, I am getting too old for this seeing our world and Republic go to hell. Thank you for your words as they always seem to wake people up. Keep on keeping on…
    Tom

    1. My husband makes this statement, “Obama hates America” many times over the last decade. Yes they are out to destroy our country, to make it in their own corrupt images.

  8. Great column, JK. Criticizing the Bolshevik Brain Damage Party for importing a new voter base is, as the old saying goes, “shooting fish in a barrel,” but, hey, they built the barrel and stocked it with fish — carp, I think. And a skilled fisherman like you is going to harvest them all.

    I’m already excited about your coverage of the Democratic Angry Idiot Convention in August. Illegal immigrants storm the United Center, demanding free everything. Struggling Chicagoans storm the United Center, demanding Mayor Panic Attack remember legal citizens. Mobs of lefties storm the United Center, demanding more demands. Biden wanders around the United Center, demanding somebody give him the power to stop all that storming.

    And you and I will enjoy the storms from a distance, My worst danger here in Wisconsin is continuing to be laughed at by Packers fans. I’m sure you don’t miss Chicago’s year-round Soros Crime Festival from your wise perch in Indiana. Convention away, Democrats! Bring back the Chicago of 1968!

    1. You’re absolutely right, David. And as I started to read this, my thought was that something bad, real bad, needs to happen during this upcoming farce of an event. More than a black revolt. More than a homeless protest. More than illegals (NOT immigrants) putting up a tent in the UC parking lot. Oh, and maybe with the support given to them by the dictatorship of these clowns, maybe the cops should all congregate at the local Dunkin Donuts or similar and have their own convention ignoring any call within the limits of Western, the Lake, the Ike and Ogden. Then and only then might people wake up.

      1. Intriguing scenario, Ken. And when the calls from the west side start pouring in, the cops should tell the Demo-clowns, “Uh, sorry, we’ve been defunded. Your party is replacing us with social workers. When you beg them to come, maybe you should mention bullet-proof vests.”

      2. Wouldn’t it be interesting if all the cops in the area around the DNC called in sick during the event? I heard that covid thing is making a comeback!

  9. FJB and all the democrats that voted for him. Electrocute the illegal alien that just murdered the beautiful American nursing student Laken Riley in Georgia!!
    It’s only going to get worse as these unvetted illegal aliens continue to invade our country through the democrats open border policy! The November election can not come soon enough!

  10. I love your columns, John, but they also stress me out because there are still so many voters who are not paying attention or already brainwashed by all the gaslighting. You’ve already written about Republicans’ unforced error in trying to hand the Democrats a win with that blatantly terrible (and falsely named) “border bill” which would have codified and endorsed Biden’s outrageous open border policies and made things 100 times worse. You’ve also noted how the “power” Biden demands to “fix” things is focused on fixing nothing; he wants more money and judges to open the borders even wider. Yet too many voters just believe what they’re told by the media mouthpieces and I worry that not enough have opened their eyes yet. Perhaps a piece about the beautiful young nursing student reportedly murdered by an illegal immigrant in Georgia (who had been arrested for a crime involving a minor but released due to lack of detention space – WTF?) will open their eyes. So tragic, sad and avoidable.

  11. I grew up near Kostner/Division in the 60’s. I felt like I grew up in one of the best neighborhoods in the city, like most Chicagoans felt about their neighborhood. A large majority of the neighborhood had at least one parent who came from the old country legally. A majority of the people were Italian & Polish, but we had Indians, Swedes, Norwegian, Ukrainian, Russian, Greek, Irish, Slavs, Puerto Rican, Philippino, and pretty much people of every nation living here. That’s where most of us acquired our culinary tastes for all foods of the world. Like you John, I’m in a food desert in North Carolina, but you are still a lot closer than I am to get your fill. I stock up on foods to bring back each visit to Chicago but I miss Manny’s, Vito & Nicks, Joseph’s Finest Meats, Ming Hin, and many more. I’ve got my wife somewhat convinced to get back to the Midwest, in your area. Don’t get me wrong, the weather and people are great here but I’m a midwestern boy.
    As for the Democrat party, this retired union electrician has never voted Democrat. I’ve been independent since I came of voting age. I hate to see what will happen during the DNC convention, the GOP convention in Milwaukee, and the outcome of the election. I personally think we will see chaos after the election regardless of who wins. We have never been more divided as a nation with families & friends, like mine, on non speaking terms for years. Keep up the great work John. Love your guest writers and all the highly intelligent & educated commenters here. I appreciate you all.

    1. Stay away, fool. U got it great now. The foods not worth. Taxes and crime await. Like Franenstein said in the sequel Bride..’ go u live,…, we stay,…. we belong dead……’BOOM!

  12. So let me get this straight Joe can issue payments for student loan forgiveness with no authority to do so. But he can’t close the boarder?
    I’m tired of it all. I’m tired of reading and seeing fentanyl overdoses. The senseless murder of a young nurse at supposedly hands of an illegal. The gas lighting of not referring to them illegals, but rather undocumented. The high cost of everything now yet we feed and house illegals. And last but not least the unbalanced, unfair legal system who chooses who is accountable and who is not.
    I want my country back. I want the country my grandparents migrated to with next to nothing and built a successful life. I want the country where my husband, my dad, uncles, cousins, and family friends were willing to lay down their lives for.
    Thanks for your column.

    1. I do, too. It’s heartbreaking. And it feels like all we can do is watch. Vote? Sure. Vote & watch. I remember when it used to matter. It’s all so discouraging.

  13. “We’re so angry here in Chicago which has been a Democratic stronghold for much of its eternity, with Pritzker and president Biden and with our mayor that we have decided we’re just going to vote Republican this time around,”

    Hahahahaha. Good one.

  14. Kasso, you’ve done it, yet again! My only wish is that could easily share a link to this masterpiece.

    Keep on being inspired, makes our Sunday mornings special. Thanks

  15. Two words – Laken Riley. Changes everything. We’re headed for a rout of the Bolsheviks. No one is buying the argument by the Dimwit in chief that he didn’t have the power to prevent the “surge the border” that he called for in a nationally televised debate in 2019. It’s the equivalent of a murder defendant who killed both his parents pleading with the sentencing judge to have mercy on his soul because he’s an orphan! 38 states minimum go red in Nov. Book it!

    1. I hope you’re correct. But I have enough liberal acquaintances who feel so passionately opposite, that I honestly don’t know what will happen. And it scares the living daylights out of me.

  16. Γιάννη,
    Great grasp of the current conundrum of our current administrations at all levels – federal, city, state. The fix of our illegal immigration problems is so simple, yet “Joe mumbles,” plus Governor Maximus and Brandon Panix, just don’t have the “αρκιδια” to do anything about it. Here’s a thought – how bout we start airlifting all these illegals back to their countries instead of bussing them around here? Just a thought! We’re not all chumbolones after all!!

    1. Many of their countries will not take them back. Which I find unbelievable. What does that actually mean? If we deported them by literally flying planes loaded with them back, made them disembark, then left – what would happen?

  17. Everything Biden has done, on every issue, has harmed the country. It can’t be fecklessness. It’s deliberate. If you teach an ape to fill in ovals on a sheet of paper and give the ape a 100-question multiple-choice exam, he will get around 25% correct by sheer luck. But when someone takes that exam and gets 100 out of 100 wrong, it means only one thing – he knows the right answer to every question but chooses a wrong answer. By now, if Biden were simply incompetent, he would have done a handful of things that were good for America, just by chance. But he hasn’t. This is all deliberate.

  18. Once again, you have told the truth about Politics and Politicians, both local and national. You have been saying this for years but if you shout the truth from a mountain top, with those who need to hear it listen? One of the saddest truths is that the Democrats have been lying to the poor all of their lives. In the pathetic school system in Chicago, to the Mayor’s Office, to the Ward bosses of the South and West Sides the lies and the false promises continue. And the Poor stay poor, and even get poorer. Some turn to crime or drugs but since there are no consequences, they will continue to commit their crimes Thank Heaven it is not all who turn to a life of crime. It never changes anywhere, does it? It is the same in every Democrat run City and State across the Nation. Now the Poor are the ones who will suffer the most with this mess. The already horrendous CPS will be pushing aside those who they are supposed to be teaching because they will have to turn more of their meager attention to the Illegals and the problems all this is heaped upon them. Again, by the will of the Democrats, the Poor people lose. But they still want you to vote for them so they will once again they will be lying and making huge promises they have no intention of keeping. But don’t forget to vote them back in so they can continue to lie.

    The people, and sadly the children, are being cheated by those whose only goal is to keep the power going. They give your children free lunches and sometimes breakfast, and cheat them on education. They give them free school supplies, but cheat on their learning. This is an unconscionable situation and not only in Chicago and Illinois, but nationwide.

    Biden, Pritzker, Johnson and their counterparts throughout this Country have only one goal. Get as many people they can to vote them back in Office, even if it means to destroy America, but keep the Power.

    I wish, although I most likely will never see the day, that the venomous hatred spewed by those in the mainstream Media, and on all forms of Social Media towards people who dare to disagree, would stop. Are we all slowly losing our mind?

  19. In Biden’s first 100 days he held several “signing ceremonies”, as he reversed Trump’s Border controls.

    He was that proud of reversing anything Trump did and that might be working. No “Bi-Partisan” evaluation panels, no discussion. If it had Trump’s fingerprints on it … it was reversed without a second thought.

    If the Governors hadn’t started flooding the Blue Cities (and Martha’s Vineyard) with illegals, (and the media finally forced to report on it) the city voters would all still be blindly supporting him.

    Perhaps the GOP can edit a few of those “Signing Ceremony” videos together for the Trump 2024 campaign, to run in the Blue Cities and Social Media, to remind people who made this mess? My suggestion for a media buy, would be right after the evening news crime reports on the body count in each city.

  20. As you point out, John, you’re a political writer, not a comedic one – but then, you don’t HAVE to be one when the comedy all but writes itself.

    “‘We’re so angry here in Chicago which has been a Democratic stronghold for much of its eternity, with Pritzker and president Biden and with our mayor that we have decided we’re just going to vote Republican this time around,’ said Chicagoan Cata Truss on ‘The Faulkner Focus’ program on Fox News.

    ‘That’s just how angry we are,’ Truss said.”
    I’m so glad I had set down my coffee mug and had swallowed the sip in my mouth before I read that.

    WHAT Republican party candidate might that be?

    There’s no Republican party in Chicago, let alone Illinois – there is only The Combine.

    Decades ago, after Illinois Democrats managed to purge the Larouchies from their ranks, they managed to marginalize anything even remotely resembling a Republican party in the state.

    This was accomplished by so densely stacking the deck in favour of genuine Democrats it rendered the Republican party in Illinois little more than a society for the country-club set. They also cut a deal with what passed for Illinois GOP leadership to let some of their approved law firms and consulting practices in on a portion of state business, such as management of some of the state union pension funds, and other state business.

    In return, any prospective Republican candidate that might actually threaten any of those cozy relationships would be all but marginalized, and the Democrat candidate for the same office might be corrupt as hell or otherwise unqualified, but the state Republican party would feign ignorance, issue a statement about commitment to issue-oriented discourse in campaign rhetoric while it looked the other way.

    The Illinois Republican party (now a wholly owned subsidiary of The Combine), was happy to let the Democrat-controlled levers of power work as intended (see one-punch, straight-ticket voting that made certain the defeat of Jack O’Malley and the installment of Democrat party hack Dick Devine for State’s Attorney in ’96).

    O’Malley would be the next to last Republican candidate to threaten the status quo. In 2004, in bare-knuckle Chicago fashion, The Combine allowed Jack Ryan to be personally destroyed with the mysterious leak of the details of his sealed divorce settlement and forcing him to abandon his campaign for the senate seat, thus mitigating the existential threat to the campaign of the human stain that would become the first sodomite president of the United States.

    With that, elections in Illinois and Chicago in particular, are little more than “elections” like those in Soviet Russia, or modern-day Russia, for that matter.

    Had straight-ticket voting not denied Democrats any involvement in Glen Ellyn municipal government in 1995, it would never have been outlawed. The Democrats would agree to a ban right after they could use it one last time before a Combine governor with a Republican streak could sign it into law.

    1. Lisa Madigan’s election to Attorney General exposed that the Republican Party in Illinois is, in fact, a corpse. Let’s see if I can remember this correctly:
      – Her dad ran Illinois, lots of suspected corruption.
      – She had no trial experience
      – Her republican opponent was a lawyer with experience required for the job.

      …and he still lost.

      It’s one thing to win an election. If you can’t do that, you want to at least cause the other side to up their game by selecting a better candidate. When you can’t even do that, you’re tilting windmills.

      The next kodak-moment I remember is when republicans didn’t field a candidate for some state office and a neo-nazis almost ended up on the ballot. The Democratic party had to swoop in and help another Republican strawman win the primary so they could have a charade of a general election that passed the laugh test.

  21. We can only hope that when Trump is reelected he stops funding the sanctuary cities that are planning to use the illegals to prop up population loss for the census. Our socialist paradises like Chicago, New York and California should have to support their new voters out of their own pockets, not mine. The “migrant crises” didn’t become a crises until Greg Abbot started shipping the illegals to Democrat cities. He was mocked by the media when he stated the obvious. Someone has to pay for this. And Texas wasn’t going to take the hit alone. It didn’t take long for our kind, giving sanctuary cities to cry uncle. John, just like the rest of us noticed the obvious. There are millions of military age men from hostile nations that have been given entry into our country. No one is leaving China because of poverty and gang violence. How soon we forget that Bin Laden’s sleeper cells were sent here to hijack airplanes. Sent here deliberately for the express purpose of terrorism. We are watching as our South American “migrants” organize into roving mobs of robbery crews and smash and grab gangs. They should be referred to as “Bidens Criminals”. Continuously. Let’s hammer the term home . “Bidens Criminals”. Chicago Police just arrested a group of Bidens Criminals for robbing people on the Blue Line. Bidens Criminals have been arrested on Chicagos Gold Coast in organized shoplifting gangs. Bidens Criminals attacked police officers in New York. “Bidens Criminals” should be the phrase in this election. Let’s hammer the term home so the media can’t ignore it.

  22. Excellent analysis. The Cloward-Piven evisceration of our economy is well underway. I think the Rasputins of Biden’s administration unleashed the Killer Klowns of Marxist revolution, using Biden as a stalking horse, a place warmer.
    While they contemplated how to neutralize Trump, and MAGA. They could not have actually believed someone so tyrannical and inept re: border invasion, mandates, inflation and defense would be easily reelected in 2024.
    Lawfare so far has not solved their Trump problem- and their bench is still going to own much of American voters’ displeasure. Whoever they select.

  23. Just a few years ago, the Democrats were calling for an end to illegal immigration. Bernie, Schumer, Clintons, Obama and the rest said illegal immigration was a threat to the American worker and the nation. Today, that talk would get you branded a racist and anti-immigrant. No one in the media asks them what changed over a few years…it’s because they need votes. And they need power. That’s why they allowed illegals to vote in “local” elections in some cities…they just named an illegal to lead the Election Commission in San Francisco. It’s why Dems want motor voting in tandem with allowing illegal to get drivers licenses. It’s why they won’t allow examination of voter rolls and want to mess with the elections. Paraphrasing one of the libs favorite lines: if you want to know why they want open borders…follow the money.

  24. John, there are those of us (who read your columns) and stay on top of the news. We are not Chumbalones. Then, there are the willful libtard, blinders-on-democrat Chumbalones who say they will gladly vote for Joe and if something should happen to him, they will vote for Kamala. I just had such a conversation this week with a liberal friend. Then, the are the truly clueless, who don’t read anything, but watch Netflix and Tic Tok. However, it’s apparent to me that a vast majority of Americans are now truly alarmed over the border invasion. Many of the people that didn’t vote for Trump last time say they will this time, because they say he’s the only one who can fix this. Meanwhile, the poor nursing student from Georgia paid with her life for illegal immigration. Biden and Mayorkas have blood on their hands. And as always, I assume Obama is behind the destruction and ruin of our country.

  25. How can you violate the rights of illegal aliens?
    Besides international human rights, they have no rights in the United States.
    Those rights belong to the citizens of the United States.
    But, just wait; as soon as Republicans take back the White House and POTUS issues the executive order to sweep communities for illegal aliens, the Far Left will scream that the illegal aliens rights have been violated.
    And the NGOs will watch as their revenue stream dries up and favorite relatives will have to get a real job.
    It will be spectacular and I will love every minute of it.
    November can’t come soon enough.

      1. Fellow Kassite:
        After your response, I went back and read the Constitution again.
        And again, I reached the conclusion that illegal aliens enjoy no rights under our Constitution.
        Citizens and naturalized citizens; yes.
        Illegal aliens are sucking the tax money from the tax-paying citizens of the United States.
        They aren’t using guns (in most cases) to do it.
        They are using NGOs.
        It needs to stop.

  26. “Hundreds of thousands and more of men of military age traveling alone from a variety of nations that are hostile to the United States. From China, Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere.”

    I’m both a retired Cop and retired from the Military, and this accurate appraisal scares the hell out of me. Although some have probably come for a better life, how many of these men have been sent here by those hostile countries for nefarious reasons?

    And when they attack, and they will, I really don’t believe that American Cops are ready for them. Not because they’re not trained, not because they’re not brave, because they are both.

    What scares me is that they may hesitate, because of regulations, legal liability, or maybe fear of being thrown under the bus by their department/city. I’m not an expert on terrorism by a long shot, but I do know this- they don’t hesitate- they just act, like they did in Israel in October. This will be a new kind of enemy, on our soil.

  27. Jane u ignorant slut… as Akroyd use to say. Now its: John you DF…….
    Name the last national election where the blacks abandoned the Demorat Plantation Party………….I’m waiting. That’s right:NEVER! When I was in politics in Lake County I asked black leaders why they don’t abandon demorats and vote GOP. The response: ‘What has the ever GOP done for us”
    Remember what I said: the election will be about Roe overturned and guns. Now the DF Alabama Supreme Court played right into Dem hands and said embryos are human beings. WTF! Does any one really believe that? The demorats are PO and will mobilize for president Demento. I guarantee it. Remember the 6Ws: the wacky, weighty, wealthy, woke, white women win elections. No beer belly fat 2 tooth smelly slobs wearing MAGA hats.
    Plus the smart demorats, yes there are a few, will find a way for those embryos to vote Dem! Guaranteed, but it will be absentee voting, I’m sure.

    1. I agree with you, Thomas. John is borderline delusional here. John is mistaking wishful thinking for reality. As far as illegal immigration goes, the Nassau County NY election where Tom Suozzi flipped a Republican seat (now the Repubs have only a two seat majority in the House) offers a road map as to how the Dems are going to handle this divisive, inflammatory issue. And I want to point out that Nassau County has a very strong Republican Party, and the Dems still managed to flip the seat. How’d they do it? Well Mr. Suozzi pointed out how the Republicans failed to support a bipartisan immigration bill. In other words he “flipped” the problem: to the Republicans. He also called for bipartisanship. And the chumbalones on Long Island bought all this – as they will in Chicago and Illinois – and elected him.

  28. Well, John, if you are right about all this – and I once had the same opinion – then Tom Suozzi (D) would not have flipped George Santos’ seat in Nassau County (NY) two weeks ago. But he did. And he did so in a hot bed of crime, illegal immigration, and on the door step of the biggest sanctuary city in the country: NYC. Seems to me you’re setting yourself up for another failed “red wave”.

  29. Joe wants more buckets because the tub is overflowing. He opened the valve and water is running faster than the drain can handle. The valve is within his reach and he won’t need the extra buckets. What will Joe do? These are hard situations…..

    1. What will Joe do? Blame it on the dumbass incompetent plumbers. Hey that worked great on Long Island two weeks ago … and it will likely work just fine in November as well.

  30. Blacks are 12% of the U.S. population and holding, Latino’s are 19% and climbing , FAST….the Democrats no longer need Black votes. Blacks will never leave the Plantation, they can’t, they have been taught at home school and through the media that republicans and Libertarians are the problem.
    Like living your life with out ever seeing a mirror.

  31. Thanks John for calling out the extensive corruption and really stupid voters. So well put – so many chumbalones! So many are sleeping – they refuse to wake up and deal with the cold hard facts, as you present them. I really hope the democratic convention experiences the worst of society! I clearly remember the race riots during the last convention in Chicago so many years ago. Mayor Daley lowered the boom! People are like sheep – they follow some idiot leader, and refuse to stand up for what is right, or even figure out what is right!

    1. Yup just like the Chicago chumbolones voted for the Daleys, Burke, Vrdolyak, Kelly, Rostenkowski, George Dunne, Sheahan, Pucinski, Marcelo, D’Arcy, Madigan and all the other white dem crooks.

  32. I am often struck by the phrase “Democrat Plantation” – since I am of Plantation Culture from Virginia. The multi cultural, multi ethnic “middle ground” that sponsored the birth of the United States. This last fact being a tough pill to swallow for all of us who ever got a passing grade in high school history. But its true, and I am immensely proud and carry around about as much guilt as the average white Evanstonian living east of Chicago Avenue does about Evanston schools being segregated until 1951, in the Jim Crow North. There is no comparison, between the two, except for this. As Plantation Culture gave birth to the United States, so can current day Americans of African descent, subjects to the Democrat Plantation, save the United States with their vote. This is a very big year indeed!

  33. You and I have something in common, John. We realized that Chicago, the wonderful city we and our 3 or 4 generations of family have grown up in and loved, is lost. My husband and I moved to Indiana in 2003. God bless you and your wonderful family.

  34. Re: Biden’s forever war in Ukraine? It looks more like Putin’s war. It seems inconsistent to rail against the Bolsheviks in the Democratic Party if the alternative to support for Ukraine will be handing over some 41 million people to the Bolsheviks in Moscow?
