As one of the few people who have engaged in conversation with the lead investigative unit around John Durham I have held a rather unique outlook on this question since August of 2020.
See if you can find him below:
A contingent of Republican senators traveled to Texas on Thursday for a tour of the border region to understand the scale of the problem currently facing Border Patrol. After a night and early day visit of the border region the GOP senators gathered to brief the press and answer questions.
Senator Ron Johnson (Wisconsin) was emphatic about the stunning statistics that are now evident. As Johnson shared during his portion of the briefing, under President Trump the border region was secured and together with agreements with Central American and Mexico the southern border wall was working well to stop illegal alien influx.
However, Joe Biden eliminated all of the agreements and policies that stabilized the border. Immediately after his installation as head of the executive branch the Biden policies opened a floodgate of illegal alien border crossers. As many as 6,000 border apprehensions in a single day in the Rio Grande Valley sector. Stunning statistics.
Border Patrol Union President Brandon Judd describes what it was like for GOP senators to visit the border crisis and how the Mexican cartel smugglers were laughing at the inept politicians who can do nothing to stop their activity. Quite a stunning interview:

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is now getting ready to hire public companies, individual contractors outside government, to scour public data and social media in order to provide information for the new “domestic terror watch lists.” From the description it appears DHS is going to pay “big tech” (Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter, etc.), via contracts, to hire and organize internal monitoring teams to assist the government by sending information on citizens they deem “dangerous.”
Gee, what could possibly go wrong with this?…
NBC is reporting on these new developments as the U.S. intelligence apparatus is preparing to go live with the assembly of lists of Americans who “could be” potential threats to the government; and need to be watched.
However, even NBC is beginning to realize the consequences: “DHS planning to expand relationships with companies that scour public data for intelligence and to better harness the vast trove of data it already collects on Americans. The department is also contemplating changes to its terrorist watch listing process.”
Here’s the article:
WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security, created after the 9/11 attacks to protect the country from international terrorism, is moving toward a sweeping set of policy changes aimed at detecting and stopping what intelligence officials say is now a top threat to the homeland: domestic violent extremism.
This is a specific example that needs to be drilled down quickly so that people with only a cursory interest in politics can understand how it impacts them. Biden’s $1400 stimulus checks are useless, literally wiped-out, when compared with the increase in gasoline prices already in place as part of the Biden energy policy.
Gas prices have already jumped $1/gal in most areas as a result of Biden killing the oil production energy sector. Factor in the increased transportation costs for goods and services, including the costs associated with deliveries of home meals, Uber rides, products delivered, airline charges; and the gas price increase hits the family checkbook far beyond the $1400 provided for stimulus.
Add to that charge and the increases in electricity prices, together with the increase in product costs that are based on petroleum (rubber, plastics, containers etc), and you can see how the increased cost of Biden’s ridiculous energy policy hits families even harder. But wait…. it gets worse…. If that were already not enough of a problem, Biden is now proposing a mileage tax on top of a gasoline tax increase that will hit the middle class much harder. [SEE Video at 01:30]
The middle-class commutes to work much more than all other sectors. Any increase in gas prices, gasoline taxes or mileage taxes hits the blue-collar worker at a disproportionate rate. A proposal to install a mileage tax does nothing but add another cost onto the American middle-class.
This is an issue of leftist policy, as the far-left now move to push their climate change agenda and simultaneously push federal infrastructure spending. Of course, in order to keep advancing their severe leftist agenda, the democrats have to pretend not to know things.
Many people are unaware the essential framework for the 2020 election fraud took place in only seven counties which were each heavily controlled by Democrat operatives. Clark County (NV), Pittsburgh and Philadelphia (PA), Wayne County (MI), Maricopa County (AZ), Madison (WI) and Fulton County, Georgia. These populous counties were all that was needed in states were the election was tightly manipulated by political operatives.
In Georgia’s Fulton County the chain of custody documents from “Drop Box” locations still have not been produced despite the Governor signing new legislation to combat voter fraud. In total there are over 404,000 ballots that were counted in the election without chain-of-custody certifications. The margin in GA was only 12,000 votes.
GEORGIA – Four months after the November 3, 2020 presidential election, state and county officials in Georgia have failed to produce chain of custody documents for an estimated 404,691 vote by mail absentee ballots deposited in drop boxes and subsequently delivered to county registrars for counting.
As of March 3, only 56 of Georgia’s 159 counties have provided ballot transfer form data to The Georgia Star News. The number of absentee by mail ballots delivered to registrars in those 56 counties total only 195,309, or 32.5 percent, of the estimated 600,000 absentee vote by mail ballots deposited in drop boxes and delivered to county registrars and counted in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election.
President Trump called-in to Laura Ingraham to express his overall view of the Joe Biden press fiasco that took place on Thursday afternoon. The president reacted to Bidens’ attempt to take credit for the COVID vaccine rollout as well as the Biden-created crisis at the southern U.S. border.
The Biden border crisis is a result of a leftist administration undoing the agreements made between President Trump and Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel Lopez-Obrador (aka AMLO). President Trump remarked on the acuity of the current White House occupant and drew a contrast between the way the media gives softball questions to their ideological compatriot. As President Trump notes: “everyone can see it.”
Earlier tonight Tucker Carlson used his opening segment of his show to do a blow-by-blow review of Joe Biden’s press conference. Carlson hits on the primary topics and subjects within the ten permitted and pre-approved media questions and white house statements. WATCH:
Oakland California is beginning a pilot for giving low income families $500/month with no strings attached for up to 600 families. The goal is to bridge the income disparity gap; however, poor white residents are not permitted to apply for the program. {Details Here}
According to CBS: […] “Oakland’s project is significant because it is one of the largest efforts in the U.S. so far, targeting up to 600 families. And it is the first program to limit participation strictly to Black, Indigenous and people of color communities.
The reason: White households in Oakland on average make about three times as much annually than black households, according to the Oakland Equity Index. It’s also a nod to the legacy of the Black Panther Party, the political movement that was founded in Oakland in the 1960s.” (read more)
Poverty is the one class distinction that doesn’t have a racial component. Ask anyone who grew up with little money or wealth and you will find those people are the least racist people you could ever meet. Poverty cuts across all cultural and racial lines… of course, as customary for ideological maintenance, the far-leftists have to pretend not to know things.
During part of his press conference earlier today Joe Biden was questioned about why the White House and DHS are blocking journalists from access to BPS detention facilities. The response from the poser was, well, quite an admission:
