The New York Post cover story today is by Alex Oliveira: “Record 12,600 migrants encountered at border in 24 hours — as backlog for immigration hearings breaks 3 million.” The story reports on our self-created border crisis. When I say “self-created,” I mean created by President Joe Biden.
Why would a president of the United States do what he has done? Even certain well-known Democratic officeholders are unhappy with the results, though they may point the finger of blame elsewhere. Biden’s undoing of our border is an act of willful destruction. In addition to everything else, it seriously jeopardizes our national security. Everyone knows who is to blame.

In recent months it has become abundantly clear that electric vehicles are no more than rich men’s toys. Sometimes I think I must be having a dream, but I do not seem to be able to awaken from this nightmare.
These vehicles are so expensive that only the very rich can afford them. In fact, these are often secondary vehicles.
As a vehicle to drive from home to office and back home again, they are reasonably practical. However, nothing beats a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. You do not have to plug it in; just get in and drive it. Five minutes is enough time

As we approach the last year of Joe Biden’s term, it’s an opportune moment to reflect back on January of 2021. Our new President had been inaugurated (though we still don’t know that he was elected). Democrats believed the evil Trump had been vanquished from the body politic forever. We were assured that blue-collar Joe from Scranton was going to return normalcy to Washington -- as if that were a good thing.
Biden was riding high in the polls. His “wingmen” were in control of the executive branch. His allies were in power in Congress and his media lapdogs would guarantee that all news was good news.

A former NFL running back who won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants was arrested in connection with robberies at businesses in the Los Angeles area, according to prosecutors and police.
Derrick Ward was arrested Monday night, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. A case had not been presented to prosecutors for consideration of criminal charges, the office said early Tuesday.
Ward was arrested in connection with robberies at Los Angeles businesses, the Los Angeles Police Department said. Details about the robberies were not immediately available.
Ward, who attended Valley View High School in Moreno Valley, was a seventh-round draft pick by the New York Jets

Even for most people who have been writing about the lunatic ravings of the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media, the 2024 United States presidential election is going to bring us weirdness and hysteria like we've never seen. I've been talking and writing about that since Donald Trump began racing away in the primary polling, and the lefties have been working overtime to prove that I still have some powers of political prognostication.
Joe Biden was already checking out mentally when he announced that he was running for president back in 2019. His infamous "basement campaign" in 2020 had far more to do with

If you want to know what's going on with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's massive Koolau Ranch compound on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, there's no use asking anyone involved in its construction — they're all bound by strict nondisclosure agreements.
According to an anonymous former contract employee who was willing to risk life and limb — not really (?!?) — to talk to Wired, "It’s fight club. We don’t talk about fight club." More ominously, he added, “Anything posted from here, they get wind of it right away.”
And you thought Zuckerberg just had algos scanning your Instagram feed for wrongthink.
Sources differ on the size and expense of Zuckerberg's compound.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) If it's the World vs. Elon Musk, I'm taking Musk every time. Just thought I'd get that out of the way up front.
Elon Musk has been racking up quite the list of haters since he bought Twitter, renamed it X, and left all of us old-school tweeters in media typing Twitter/X all the time. For the sake of convenience, I hope there is no more rebranding in the offing.
The leftists are in a tizzy because Musk broke their stranglehold on social media. Well, the social media that anyone pays attention to. I think what really set them off

As RedState reported earlier, there is Democrat panic on Capitol Hill as Joe Biden's polling numbers continue to sink so badly that some Democrats fear they don't stand a chance in 2024 with him on the ticket.
At the top of the list of voter concerns are the economy, jobs, inflation, and the cost of living, and three years into the Biden-Harris administration has left them feeling worse off, not better off than they were at the start of it.
Naturally, all of this news has miffed some of Biden's more strident apologists in the mainstream press, including CNN's Jim Acosta, who during an "Inside Politics" interview surprisingly

Admiral Horatio Nelson is one of the greatest heroes of British history. With the possible exception of Wellington, no one contributed more to winning the Napoleonic Wars. Nelson’s death at Trafalgar, his greatest victory, holds a place in British history analogous to that of Lincoln at the end of the Civil War.
But in recent years, Nelson has come under attack, and activists have urged that statues of him be destroyed–including the iconic one at the top of Nelson’s Column at Trafalgar Square. Why? The usual reason: he is alleged to have been pro-slavery.
In my opinion, this would be irrelevant even if true. Slavery was ubiquitous on every continent except Antarctica

As you may know, Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua is now Miss Universe. Based on my Latino heritage, the Miss Universe pageant is like the Super Bowl for most women in the Spanish-speaking world.
I recall my mother and sister sitting in front of the T.V. and watching these pageants with passion and interest.
In other words, a young woman winning the Miss Universe makes everyone happy and proud. Well, I mean unless your country is run by a jerk like Daniel Ortega.
Here is the story:

Fortunately for us, the world is binary. Truth value is binary. Of the four kinds of sentences in the English language—declarative, exclamatory, imperative, and interrogatory—only one, the declarative, has a truth value, and that truth value is always either true or false. Existence itself is binary. Every entity that can be conceived either exists or not. Computer science, too, is binary. Computer science depends upon the fact that electrical circuits are either closed or open. And, of course, human sexuality is binary. Each human being is either male or female. Moreover, every cell in the human body is either male or female.

A recent New York Times article goes into detail about the financial machinations of Hamas over the last decade, and posits that the Israeli government and Benjamin Netanyahu not only knew about the hundreds of millions of dollars that were being funneled into Hamas, but allowed it to happen in the hope that financial success in Gaza would keep peace.
Written by Jo Becker, the article uses many sources, including ex-Mossad personnel. Becker is an investigative reporter for the Times, having won Pulitzer Prizes for exposing Dick Cheney’s hidden power in 2008, for a series of articles in 2017 about Vladimir Putin’s efforts to undermine the 2016 election,
