Friends, how do you sell a party and a message that, well, stink to the American people? It's not like it's never been done before... In an age in which the mainstream media has less reach and credibility than ever before, you have to get creative. The Dems are doing exactly that, by insinuating their talking points into the antics of online "influencers". And it might work, too!
In other news, DJT has an interesting idea to juice up Republican engagement going into the 2026 midterm elections: he wants to hold a GOP convention right before the voting. Hmm. That's certainly never been done before. He has a point: tens of millions of people who voted for Trump are fully expected to sit on their hands next November. Anything that gets their attention is probably worth a shot.

Finally, remember when Dems scoffed at the idea that any president could control the southern border better than their hero Joe Biden had? Well, as we've seen, President Trump was able to stifle the flow of "migrants" almost immediately. That is amazing, but possibly foreseeable, given Trump's record in his first term. What I think no one saw coming was Trump's success in convincing migrants already here to go home. We've seen how up to a million and a half illegal aliens have chosen to pack it up and return to their homelands. This article tells the story of one migrant who risked everything to come here, and now must risk almost as much to repatriate himself. The article assumes that this "reverse migration" is a tragedy. Some, though, will see it as a singular Trumpian triumph!
Dr. Waddy from Jack: I was tempted to say "we can of course count on Rolling Stone to report the 'underside' of even the most hopeful phenomenon" but no, theirs is nonetheless a legitimate report in some ways.
ReplyDeleteWho could gainsay anyone's sincere desire to leave communist Venezuela or fail to sympathize with the dread attendant upon return to that hellish totalitarian land.
But let's place the blame squarely where it belongs. That is, on the far left dictated open border policy championed by President Biden. Of course word of this got back to the wretched of the earth and they risked all to get to a land in which they perceived the astonishing possibility of a far better life.
Our immigration laws were the product of a democratic process in which the wish to offer as much benefit as we can to such needy people was fully debated and incorporated into the compromises which gave enactment to these laws. The Biden administration chose to presumptuously ignore this fact and to tragically ignore the resulting laws in favor of, well, whatever they "felt"was just. The Trump administration is devoted to enforcing these laws and one result is the "reverse" immigration we see now, enabled as it is by additional measures to ease return somewhat.
In recklessly encouraging people with understandably intense hope for a better life, the Biden administration did them a cynical great injustice which is being manifested in the terrible disappointment and often physical danger which they face upon return to places they had hoped never to see again. Let's hope that those among them who led positive, constructive lives here can eventually return lawfully.
