These days, the Biden White House talks a lot about the border. At press briefings, there are many questions about the border. But it's the Russia-Ukraine border. Meanwhile, the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is deteriorating daily.
Two new developments. One, we are learning more about the administration's covert effort to relocate thousands of illegal border-crossers — single, adult males, not families — into the nation's interior. We'll talk about that today. And tomorrow, the second development — new information about the changing makeup of the thousands of people crossing the border illegally each month.
First, the relocation effort.

A growing number of public health experts have recommended that the Biden administration update its COVID-19 strategy. It is increasingly obvious that an approach based on the President’s pledge to “shut down the virus” will fail. The emerging consensus among epidemiologists is that elimination of the virus is unlikely and that it will probably evolve into an endemic malady, like influenza, that circulates in the population at a relatively manageable level. This consensus has been largely ignored by the Biden administration because updating its approach to COVID-19 would mean relinquishing the political power associated with the perpetual “public health emergency,” and replacing several incompetent public health advisors.

We’re into week two of the Glenn Youngkin administration in red Virginia, and so far they’ve demonstrated a commitment to fulfilling their campaign pledges to put parents first in the state when it comes to their children’s education. They’ve also undertaken the arduous task of undoing the damage “woke” policies implemented by former Democrat Govs. Ralph Northam and Terry McAuliffe did to the state.Naturally, this has triggered The Usual Suspects on the left and in the media, including CNN’s Jim Acosta, who was deeply fauxfended by the email tip line set up by Gov. Youngkin for parents to report problems with their school districts. In fact, Acosta was so upset

Imagine you have just emerged from a 20-year coma and decide to catch up on current affairs by perusing the news stories offered by the major media. You could easily conclude that the nation’s most urgent problem is saving something called “Biden’s agenda.” You would find countless headlines such as the following from NBC News: “White House plots public reset as Biden’s agenda flails.” Or this from CNN: “Democrats at a loss over path to enact Biden agenda.” Yet when your family appears at your bedside to congratulate you on your recovery, they will respond to your questions about this crisis with puzzled expressions and questions about your medication.

During the course of the madness that promoted “defunding” or abolishing the police, there was an emphasis placed on replacing police in some circumstances with “community safety” workers who would supposedly act as unarmed “violence interrupters” and reduce the number of lethal use of force incidents by police officers. In Baltimore, Maryland’s violent gang territories, an existing organization known as the “Safe Streets Program” gained a lot of attention and municipal support in this effort. The goal of the program is to deploy former gang members (or “former”) into areas controlled by the gangs to negotiate nonviolent resolutions to conflicts.

Just the fact that the Associated Press and NORC and Morning Consult asked this question in their latest polls should send up red flares for the White House. The response should have sirens blaring all over the West Wing, especially since this survey took place before President Minor Incursion spoke yesterday at his presser.More Americans disapprove than approve of how Biden is handling his job as president, 56% to 43%. As of now, just 28% of Americans say they want Biden to run for reelection in 2024, including only 48% of Democrats. …
It’s a stark reversal from early in Biden’s presidency.

“Let’s not conflate issues,” Kamala Harris scolds Savannah Guthrie, as the VP desperately attempts to avoid the real issue Joe Biden created yesterday. The NBC host of Today asked Harris a very simple question. Biden sounded a lot like Donald Trump — and Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton, too — in his presser yesterday when he claimed that the midterms this year “easily could be illegitimate.”“It’s just astonishing” to hear that rhetoric from Biden, Guthrie declares, perhaps especially after hearing lectures over the past year from the administration that questioning elections is a form of insurrection. So does Harris agree that the midterms may now be considered illegitimate

Dear Joe,
Happy Anniversary.
Can we get a divorce?
Sorry if this isn’t the most effusive of messages as you celebrate your first year in office as President of the United States.
But I fear it’s exactly what many disillusioned Americans, including some who voted for you, are now thinking.
I don’t like to sugar-coat things, so let me be blunt: You’ve been a disaster.
In fact, it’s hard to think of a more insipid, less inspiring, fiasco-ridden opening 12 months to a presidency.
Nor one that has so spectacularly failed to deliver on the promises made at an inauguration ceremony.

This is not a news flash: Modern Democrats are addicted to the blame game.
When they aren’t pointing fingers at Donald Trump, Republicans and the pandemic for everything that goes wrong under the sun, they pick on banks, oil companies and even supermarkets to explain soaring prices on consumer goods.
Big Banks, Big Oil and now Big Grocery have bull’s-eyes on them. Next in line are the amorphous supply chains, which are appealing targets precisely because they are faceless and nameless. Nobody rises to defend supply chains.
Yet despite the Herculean efforts to create villains

Joe Biden resides in the White House because the Democratic Party’s warring factions declared a temporary truce in 2020, each expecting to dictate his agenda after the election. And, while the party’s left wing has exercised considerable sway over Biden’s policies, its members obviously overestimated their ability to ameliorate the effects of his congenital incompetence. After a year in office the Biden administration has produced precious few successes and a predictably long list of failures. This has reopened hostilities between the radical and moderate wings of the Democratic Party, and their base is deeply demoralized as the November midterms loom ominously on the horizon.

President Biden’s “voting rights” speech in Atlanta has been widely criticized for dishonesty and demagoguery, but its real significance involves what it told us about the increasing panic that pervades the Democratic Party. Biden’s sudden pivot from the Build Back Better Act (BBB) to “election reform” betrays a very real fear that his party will lose its tiny majorities in Congress unless they seize control of our national elections. For well over two centuries the states have played the primary role in the administration of congressional elections. Yet Biden and the Democrats now insist that this time-tested system somehow constitutes a threat to democracy itself.

So apparently, if you don’t support two voting bills President Joe Biden wants to pass — and if you don’t support ending the Senate filibuster on bills involving voting — you are no better than two of the worst people of the 20th century and one of the worst of the 19th.
“I ask every elected official in America,” Biden said in Atlanta during a passionate and wildly demagogic speech designed to make Twitter blue-checks do a Snoopy dance of joy while embracing an effort with no chance of actual success. “Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?
