With the Democrats still spinning after the collapse of their election bill - and progressives furious with the White House's seeming lack of commitment to that effort - the president has already pivoted, announcing a plan to tackle the violent crime wave besetting American cities.
The vice president? She's on her way to the border, 91 days, two countries, and countless laughs after it was first assigned by the boss.
Some might notice that cracking down on rampant crime and tackling a crisis at the border were not topics of discussion when now-President Joe Biden and now-Vice President Kamala shared a debate stage two years ago.
So what gives? If you get your news from Democrats or their palace guards in corporate media, you might think the White House was forced into this by wicked Republicans and dastardly conservative media.
"Vice President Kamala Harris is heading to the U.S.-Mexico border this week," Politico opened another article, "Amid an unrelenting chorus of criticism from Republicans over her failure to visit there." "Some might say that the other party was for defunding the police," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki even said during Wednesday's press conference, citing the GOP's pushback on a Democratic social-workers bill.
We saw it in real time in New York City, the liberal capital of the East, when on Tuesday a former New York Police Department captain who promised to tackle crime and put more cops on the streets came in first place in the mayoral election and is likely on the path to victory.
Unless there's been the largest single one-year increase in gun store owners illegally selling handguns since the country started keeping such records in the 20th century, it doesn't explain what The Washington Post called "The largest single one-year increase in homicides since the country started keeping such records in the 20th century." Bullets don't fall from the sky, and undermining and punishing and demoralizing police isn't consequence-free.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
