Biden, the Ersatz President
The United States does not have a real president right now. There is an individual named Joe Biden who shows up occasionally and sits in the Oval Office, but in no way can he be considered to be “President” in the traditional understanding of that term. Biden is an ersatz president.
An American president is essentially the CEO of the federal government. He or she sets the overall strategy and direction of the country, outlines and articulates its major objectives and manages the subordinate elements that create the actual policy in order to achieve the big-picture goals laid out by the president. Like any CEO, that person likely doesn’t personally have the specific technical knowledge and expertise on a micro level in a given subject area that his/her subordinates have (nor should a CEO or president get bogged down in that kind of attention-diverting minutia), but the CEO must have an overriding vision of their company’s intended direction and be able to see how the various component parts work together in the proper proportion and timing needed to achieve the stated goals. That holds true as well for the President of the United States.
Donald J. Trump was the prototypically ideal president in terms of setting clear achievement objectives for the country (securing the southern border, becoming energy independent, rebuilding our military, renegotiating advantageous international trade agreements, stopping China from taking unfair advantage of America in trade matters, getting NATO to pay more of its share of its defense needs, etc.) and putting in place the laser-focused personnel required to execute the plan. This was classic large-scale business-style vision and management at its best.
Putting aside the unfounded, irrational personal animosity that his political opponents felt for him for having defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 and for being direct, rough-edged and unapologetic in his dealings with the liberal media, recalcitrant foreign adversaries and feckless erstwhile “allies,” President Trump’s clear-eyed ambitions for the country led to a very targeted effort with unrelenting emphasis on the ultimate goal.
Many presidents, coming from a life-long appearance-oriented, “You-scratch-my-back-and-I’ll-scratch-yours” political background, are only too happy to compromise their objectives for the sake of popular acceptance and media adulation. For them, the final results as they redound to the country’s benefit are not their true goal. For the conventional politically minded president, an agreeable process is actually the end goal: activity that looks and sounds good, even if it’s bereft of real, meaningful substance.
Results vs. Process. Trump was a Results president. Biden is a Process president. Biden and the Democrats embark on a flurry of meaningless activity that plays well to the media and to their supporters, but which amounts to nothing of positive significance. To the extent that Biden’s empty activity subtracts from or negates President Trump’s actual beneficial results, what Biden and the Democrats are doing is incredibly harmful to this country and detrimental to a smooth-running world order.
Unlike President Trump’s clearly-stated, very specific intentions of how to improve the quality of daily life in America, Biden and the Democrats seem intent only on currying favor with special-interest groups and their accomplices, the adoring liberal media. Consider the major initiatives undertaken or proposed by the current Democratic regime:
- The dissolution of our border integrity, with intentional unrestricted illegal immigration.
- Ending American energy independence, curtailing fossil fuel exploration and production -- astonishingly, before a viable replacement exists! -- and imposing crippling restrictions on future fossil fuel energy industry activity.
- Supporting destructive BLM activities and riots, favoring defunding the police, eliminating cash bail and decriminalizing what liberals laughably refer to as “low-level” crimes like shoplifting, robbery and breaking & entering.
- Endorsing positions clearly opposed by the majority of the country, such as men competing in women’s sports, the U.S. military paying for gender-change surgery, males being able to declare that they “identify as women” and enter female bathrooms and locker rooms, elementary-age children being taught and exposed to “alternative” LGBTQ lifestyles far before children have any natural understanding or interest in such matters, and so on. This is the fringe woke speaking to the fringe woke. It’s not a government putting forth policies approved by the majority that benefit the majority.
- Denuding our military of its equipment, mission and spirit by attempting to transform it into a mechanism for social change instead of a sharply honed, singularly aimed instrument of national security. It’s bad enough that the Biden Democrats are reducing the funding and equipping of our military. It’s even worse when Biden’s Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says his biggest concern is understanding “white rage.” The only thing Mark Miley should be concerned with is defeating our enemies on the battlefield. Nothing else.
This is the difference between a president concerned with bottom-line beneficial results and one who’s concerned with laughably shallow meaningless activity that amounts to nothing, other than buying the favor and future votes of niche special interest groups.
President Trump’s results-oriented approach gave us:
- Energy independence with $2.25 per gallon gasoline vs. begging Iran for oil and $4.37 gasoline.
- Secure, orderly, humane borders vs. human trafficking, drug infestation and illegals overwhelming our schools and healthcare system.
- Treating 8-year-olds like 8-year-olds with worthwhile educational methods that emphasized a solid understanding of scholastic fundamentals along with a proportional appreciation for tolerance and compassionate societal norms.
- A battle-ready military standing proud and poised to defeat any threat to American national interests.
The Biden Democrats have saddled us with the opposite. As a direct result of having an ersatz president without any semblance of worthwhile goals or inspired vision, daily life in America is now close to an unmitigated disaster. Absent America’s clear leadership on the world stage, uncertainty and potential catastrophe loom everywhere, around every corner because foreign adversaries are emboldened by our weakness. We are living through the debacle of not having a real president, someone with a clear plan to better the country.
Results are all that matter. Are you safe? Are you prosperous? Are you healthy? Are your children being educated? A real president understands all that and works to bring it about. A real president is immune to the distractions of appearances and media approval.
We don’t have a real president now.
Biden's border surge plan is worse than it looks
Joe Biden knows there's a border surge coming. He's expected to drop Title 42 COVID restrictions on illegal entrants as of May 23 and the human waves are expected to at least double from what was seen last year.
Some two to three million illegal border crossers are forecast to make landfall in the United States and with no fear of deportation, and establish themselves here permanently. Right now, in just one Texas corridor, at Eagle Pass, some 7,000 illegal border crossers from 157 countries are rolling through daily. That number is expected to soar to 18,000 a day once Title 42 is gone. Democrats in those affected districts are alarmed and asking Biden not to do it. The coming surge is to make the past surges look like play waves in the kiddie pool.
Biden knows they are coming has no intention of enforcing U.S. border law, or even trying to stop it.
His minions have a plan that they aren't telling us about for this huge new surge, and news leaks suggest that their plan is worse than it looks.
Several things stand out:
First, Biden has a plan for border surgers coming in who will inevitably need medical care, given the incentive to migrate for "free" gringo health care is bound to motivate the sick to come, and for the well, the arduous journey, and the customer service standards of Mexico's human smuggling networks are likely to create others who need medical care.
Leaked reports suggest that Biden plans to address it this way:
He's going to steal medical personnel from VA medical centers and their veteran clients to tend to illegals? What kind of priority is that? And how fair is it to the medical personnel, many of whom have made it their mission to serve U.S. service members, not play 'doctors without borders' for nationals of 157 countries? Stealing doctors and leaving veterans high and dry with not enough medical personnel and long long lines as a result is downright immoral.
That's not the only shocking thing about this Biden plan to meet the surge.
Reports suggest that illegal border crossers will be given an "app" for their cell phones for an express check-in with Border Patrol agents, (which of course, they all have), to ensure their speedy entry and customer service satisfaction, something legal immigrants certainly don't get:
What could go wrong? Vetting? Yes, just like those Afghan plane jumpers were 'stringently vetted.'
And why is there such a surge to grant illegals from other countries government services when our own IRS still can't answer taxpayer phone calls and the rest of the government is largely dysfunctional, too? What kind of priority is that?
The third aspect is what comes after the immediate needs of the border surgers are met.
The odd timing of Biden's decision to employ "asylum officers" to the job that had been done by judges, to adjudicate asylum claims, all in the name of "efficiency" and "clearing backlogs" is highly suspicious for several reasons.
Biden's executive order is expected to become operational on May 21, two days before his Title 42 COVID restrictions are to be dropped.
These newly minted "asylum officers" with vast powers to admit or not admit illegal migrants have been given a host of incentives to grant asylum on the spot, and with that asylum, hand out an automatic path to U.S. citizenship to illegal border crossers.
Numbers USA notes that to start, it won't even clear the backog:
The fundamental contradiction at the heart of this regulation is straightforward. The regulation, in the name of fairness and efficiency, places ultimate authority for adjudication of asylum applications with asylum officers. The theory behind this is that it reduces the procedural path of adjudication by cutting out the immigration judges who are facing a massive 600K+ backlog of asylum cases. Seems simple, right? Judges are overwhelmed so why not outsource the work to asylum officers? The trouble is that the Biden Administration even screws this up. The regulation only allows the expedited process if the asylum officer approves the application. If the asylum officer denies the application, then the regulation preserves the appeals to immigration judges. Which means, in the case of denials, this regulation has zero effect on increasing efficiency. But wait there’s more, the revised rule actually expands the rights of asylum applicants in their appeal of a denial. The first draft actually tried to limit applicant procedural maneuvering on appeal to speed up the process. Turns out the one group of commenters the Biden Administration listened to was the group that said his new rule was too hard on denied applicants. So for asylum denials, the rule will not change much unless you believe adding unrealistic timelines matters.
At this point it is fair to wonder why DHS and DOJ would make such a distinction between approvals and denials. The answer is that in a nonadversarial process up to one low-level staffer, it is very likely that pertinent information could be missed. Furthermore, it is highly likely that cases of fraud will be missed and rewarded. The Biden Administration wants to make sure they defend against improper denials for bona fide asylum applicants. This is admirable until you realize what that means for the regulation as a whole. Namely, if even DHS and DOJ refuse to trust the new nonadversarial process they are creating with respect to denials, then how is that same process reliable to produce approvals? What would the Left say about a Trump Era asylum rule that created a rushed adjudication system where only denials were final and approvals had to go through a much more complicated and onerous process?
Mark Krikorian, writing in National Review, notes:
What that means is that the White House plan for dealing with the surge of new illegal immigration — which will come on top of the existing historic surge of illegal immigration – is not to halt the surge but to launder it by granting asylum immediately to virtually all those who jump the border. The goal is to “process” hundreds of thousands of border jumpers in an “efficient and fair” manner so that they’re no longer illegal aliens. Once they’ve been re-christened as asylees (and thus on a path to citizenship), there are no more messy questions about whether they’ll show up for court and whether they’ll leave when they lose their asylum claim (as most currently do).
With thousands and thousands of these claims set to be rubber stamped, it's pretty obvious that this is a usurpation of Congress's sole lawful authority to set immigration numbers for entry into the states. But from the migrants' perspective, only a fool would try to immigrate legally now that this is what's on offer.
Every migrant who gets that cheaply handed out "asylum" will make a mockery of the entire idea of asylum. Unlike actual asylees fleeing bona fide persecution in their home countries, these new "asylees" will be free to fly back and forth to the country they claim is trying to kill them, and send remittances to fatten up the governments of that same country that is supposedly persecuting them. Think any of them will forego that out of "credible fear of persecution"? Just watch the flight counts to Central America at Miami and LAX when this goes into effect. Most of these migrants have already crossed multiple borders, paid cartels huge sums of cash to get smuggled in, have engaged in country-shopping in order to obtain the best jobs and benefit packages, and come from the lower middle class, not the dirt-poor of their respective countries. It's quite different from the situation of Ukrainians, whose literate productive citizens are fleeing live bombs with no homes or even cities to return to, and taking any port in a storm.
The asylum process is about to become twisted into a backdoor means of admitting all illegals.
The worst aspect of this 'instant yes' scam is that these line jumpers will have an instant path to U.S. citizenship after they get that quickly handed out asylum. Because of that, Democrats will have the voter base they are seeking, and much sooner than they could expect through court channels. The whole thing is a fiasco for rule of law, and little more than a plan to import Democrat voters who won't need to cast ballots illegally to give Democrats the result they want.
How this could be legal is really pretty germane to the issue. These Biden workarounds, usurpations, and caterings to illegal activity should be challenged to high heavens in court, broadcast in the press, and criticized in the halls of Congress.
Republicans should raise hell about it, because it makes a mockery of citizenship, rule of law, and basic justice.

GRAPHIC EXCLUSIVE: Gulf Cartel Commander Killed in Mexican Border City
A Gulf Cartel commander and four of his bodyguards died Thursday morning during a shootout with the Mexican military near the Texas border.
The shootout took place in Miguel Aleman, where soldiers clashed with a Gulf Cartel strike team led by “Commander Tilin.”
While the real name of the commander is not publicly known, each of his henchmen wore tactical vests with Tilin’s logo.
One was a female who was fatally injured in the shootout despite efforts to save her by responding medical personnel.
According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by Mexican law enforcement sources, Tilin and his security detail were in Miguel Aleman on Thursday morning when they encountered a military patrol. The incident turned into a chase with both sides exchanging fire.
The shootout set off blockades throughout the city. The military did not sustain any casualties.
The shootout comes at a time when the Gulf Cartel is waging a fierce turf war against the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas, which has forced the Gulf to deploy substantial numbers of gunmen.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to Mexico City and the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by “J.C. Sanchez” from Tamaulipas.
Heavily Armed Human Smugglers Arrested at New Mexico Border Patrol Check
El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a pair of heavily armed human smugglers at an interior immigration checkpoint in New Mexico as they attempted to move 18 migrants in a U-Haul trailer.
Las Cruces Station Border Patrol agents assigned to the Highway 185 immigration checkpoint interdicted a human smuggling attempt involving a U-Haul pickup truck hauling a trailer packed with migrants, according to a tweet from El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez. The agents also stopped the scout vehicle escorting the migrants.
During a search of the vehicles, the agents found 18 migrants being smuggled into the U.S. interior. They also found and seized a 9 mm firearm, an AK-47 rifle, and a 12 gauge shotgun, Chavez reported.
The agents arrested the two alleged human smugglers and the 18 migrants who are illegally present in the United States.
Elsewhere along the New Mexico border, Santa Teresa agents rescued a migrant woman who became injured and lost after illegally crossing the border from Mexico into the United States. Chief Chavez reported agents in the El Paso Sector, which includes parts of West Texas and New Mexico, carried out at least 256 rescues of migrants so far this fiscal year. The new fiscal year began on October 1, 2020.

WATCH: Group of 100+ Migrants Cross Border River into Texas
A Texas Department of Public Safety Air Division helicopter aircrew captured images of a large group of migrants using a rope to make their way across the Rio Grande from Mexico. The group consisted of more than 100 migrants crossing in the single event near Eagle Pass, Texas.
Video tweeted by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shows the view from a Texas DPS helicopter as a group of more than 100 migrants made their way across the Rio Grande by using a rope to battle the swiftly moving currents. As the video continues, the size of the group becomes more apparent.
Human Smugglers utilize large groups of migrants crossing the border at the same time as a strategy to tie up Border Patrol resources, Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens previously stated. Near the end of the video, multiple Border Patrol agents and vehicles are seen preparing to process and transport the migrant group.
Earlier this week, Chief Owens tweeted a photo of agents tied up near Eagle Pass with another large group of 187 migrants.
Over the past weekend alone, agents in this sector apprehended 2,526 migrants — including 71 unaccompanied children and 516 family units, Breitbart Texas reported. Chief Owens added that Del Rio Sector agents are averaging between 1,000 and 1.500 migrant apprehensions per day.
The record-setting pace of border crossings in this sector led Chief Owens to curtail many regular duties — including patrolling the border. Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark, a retired Border Patrol supervisor with 32 years of experience, reported. He observed agents were largely absent along the border during a recent check.
“A constant flow of migrants crossed the Rio Grande and searched for law enforcement authorities to surrender to this week,” Clark wrote. “In the busiest migrant crossing areas around the city, authorities were largely absent. The options available to the migrants were Texas Army National Guard soldiers positioned along the riverbank and near common crossing points.”
The Texas DPS helicopter aircrew patrols the border under Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star border security mission.
