Mayorkas the liar
Despite having testified a number of occasions beneath oath to Congress that the US border was “secure,” former Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has now modified his tune expressing remorse in regards to the “broken” border (“Ex-DHS big has regrets about border,” May 13).
If I’m not mistaken — isn’t mendacity to Congress a federal crime punishable by up to 5 years in jail?
Mayorkas must be the primary of many of the Biden administration officers who do jail time for gaslighting the American people that the border was secure as they concurrently allowed hundreds of thousands of world’s most destitute and illiterate peasants into the nation.
If the Trump administration desires to rectify this historic dereliction of responsibility backed by serial mendacity on the highest degree of authorities with mass deportations, it wants to carry the perpetrators of this treasonous crime accountable.

The unhinged left
Unfortunately the left has grow to be so unhinged that even the makes an attempt on Donald Trump’s life are simply ho-hum (“US going after violent leftists,” Miranda Devine, May 14).
The media and Hollywood Trump Derangement Syndrome is palpable and with that come mental sociopathic morons that discover it vital to hold out their ideology. There’s no thriller right here on who’s behind this nonsense. As Devine states, the left has to stop coddling these menaces.
The fungus is amongst us and the Democratic Party goes downhill fast, with few moderates seeking to stem the rot. Sen. John Fetterman, a staunch Democrat, sees this and now I’m sure they’ll ostracize him for being reasonable.

So, Fauci will stay comfy, having crushed the rap, a consequence that inflames my sense of justice denied.
