The Frustrated Voter

NYTimes reports; "President Biden’s administration, facing a surge of migrants, is under intensifying pressure to expand its capacity to care for unaccompanied minors." "The numbers are daunting: There could be more than 35,000 children to care for by June. The crisis has broad political and human ramifications."  (NYTimes story above is behind a paywall - sorry) There have been several reports, that the possibility (100%) of this crisis occurring was discussed in November with the incoming Biden-Harris administration team.   It's all about politics, not about the human suffering that Biden's action has caused. Biden's 47-year record of political failures continues at great human expense. CBP estimated expenses on a weekly basis to care and feed the children are now at $60,000,000 per week ($60 million!) That figure will double by June. This will soon be a $4-5 billion yearly expense. Imagine how those funds could have been put to use to help our own hom...

McDonald's to hire 25,000 staff in Texas this month. McDonald’s Corp said on Thursday it would hire 25,000 people in its restaurants across Texas in April.  "The Day Ahead" for Monday, April 10, 2020 Reports full link here;   TDA_NAM.pdf (thomsonreuters.com) The burger chain said it will hire for crew and management positions in a three-day event from April 13-15.  Last year, McDonald’s hired around 260,000 restaurant staff in the United States when stores reopened for diners after serving them through delivery, drive-thru and take-a-way for weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  McDonald’s, which owns about 14,000 restaurants in the United States, hires thousands of restaurant employees every summer across the country, drawing several high-school and college students for the job.  --#30-- Editor:  As the Biden-Harris team would say - more jobs for displaced energy workers are available. It's a win-win.

Well - they don't call him Uncle Sam for nothing... American homeless left behind - Thank Biden-Harris @ POTUS @ VP Biden Considering Cash Payments to Central Americans To Slow Illegal Entry. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/04/09/biden-considering-paying-central-americans-not-to-enter-us-illegally-n358378 One Twitter user suggested that; " Folks can use that cash to pay the coyotes for their trip north." Quoted material follows (use link above to article): Have you been wondering what Kamala Harris was doing after she was tasked to deal with the borders issues and slowing the surge from Central American countries? We heard that she spoke to one Central American leader and that was about it. She hasn’t done one press conference on the issue. Instead, she seems to be traveling pretty much everywhere else except the border, taking trips to California and to Chicago where she got some baked goods as a snack. Meanwhile, the border is still imploding. But the word is out ...

There's a new bill (California) to let the target of a recall get the list of signatories so they can be harassed into recanting. Nothing terrifies our political class like a free and fair vote.

Once obscure, the Senate filibuster is coming under fresh scrutiny not only because of the enormous power it gives a single senator to halt President Joe Biden’s agenda but as a tool historically used for racism. Senators and those advocating for changes to the practice say the procedure that allows endless debate is hardly what the founders intended, but rather a Jim Crow-relic whose time is up. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/politics/groups-pressure-senate-to-end-filibuster-as-jim-crow-relic/2635504/ Observation - consider the source for this article; AP propaganda (a sad demise to a once-great wire). Help us Obi-Wan Kenobi (Manchin). You're our only hope. Filibuster? The Democrats had no problem with the Senate rules when they needed it. The clock is ticking 578 days until mid-term elections and they are in trouble.
