“Joe Biden Claims No Time to Visit Border as President Despite 24 Trips Home to Delaware“.

And no interest in a wall… unless it’s a $455,000 barrier around his personally owned beach front property. Imagine if Trump had stolen half a million dollars to fence off one of HIS properties.

https://www.foxnews.com/politi...nd-bidens-beach-home

The southern border with Mexico is seeing the highest levels of illegal border crossings in 35 years, but the Department of Homeland Security has found one access point it can shore up — doling out $455,000 to a Delaware construction company for a fence around President Biden’s "Summer White House."

In September, the department awarded a contract of $456,548 to Turnstone Holdings LLC for "PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF SECURITY FENCING AT 32 FARVIEW, REHOBOTH DELAWARE," according to USAspending.gov, an online database tracking federal government spending.

The contract started Sept. 21 and is expected to end Dec. 31. Construction of the fence is expected to end by that date.

The DHS is listed as the main awarding and funding office of the contract while the US Secret Service is listed as the subagency. Additional information and details about the fence have not been publicly released.

For security reasons, the Secret Service declined to discuss their "protective means and methods" with The Post when asked for comment.

DHS did not immediately respond to The Post’s inquiry about the contract.

The construction of the private security fence comes in a chaotic first year of Biden’s presidency, which has seen historic numbers of illegal immigrants crossing at the southern border.

This week, data released by US Customs and Border Protection revealed that 1.7 million migrants have crossed the border in FY 2021, the highest number since 1986.

The Biden administration has faced backlash over its action — or sometimes inaction — throughout the surge, with critics slamming the president’s decision to halt construction of the border wall, which he did as one of his first actions as president.

This month, DHS announced its intention to cancel "the remaining border barrier contracts located within US Border Patrol’s (USBP) Laredo Sector and all border barrier contracts located in the Rio Grande Valley Sector."

Per the department, the unspent funds will be spent on environmental projects including "biological, cultural, and natural resource surveys" in the border region.

It is not the first time since Biden took office that security has been boosted around the North Shores home. In June, Secret Service and local law enforcement put together a checkpoint at an intersection on the way to the home, closed a nearby pond and put temporary flight restrictions in place, according to the Cape Gazette, which was the first to report on the contract.

During his second visit, the Coast Guard also took security measures by creating security zones in the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal and Atlantic Ocean.

Glad to see that Biden's approval rating continues to decline. Maybe he will surpass Truman's 22 percent approval rating. Consistent with Biden, Psaki blamed pandemic malaise.

Some encouraging news. The Dems are fighting over tax legislation. A proposal has been floated to heavily tax the 700 or so billionaires in this country. Since that definitely does not include me I can live with that. Musk and Zuckerberg can pay. It seems like sleepy and his cronies have been in charge forever.

^^^ Again, the devil will be in the details of the mechanism they choose if they actually turn that into legislation. The Dems seem to think an amazing number or people are rich if they inherit anything, cash in a retirement plan or sell a home.

You are correct. Sinema seems to be holding out. At least I have some hope.

You're ok with it because it doesn't affect you or because you agree with the proposal?

Slippery slope / bad precendent.

Next theyll start taxing people's 401k or retirement plans, taxing ALL home sales, etc.

Plus its destined to fail...those 700 people, if faced with taxation, will just expatriate their holdings to some tax-friendly haven. Like Eduardo Saverin, when faced with paying $700 MM in taxes in the US upon Facebook IPO, he renounced US citizenship and moved to Singapore.

The only tax I will ever be OK with is a flat-one. No deductions, exemptions, write-offs, etc.

Because it does not affect me. I think the entire tax proposal is more socialism.

I was wondering who dresses Joe. He always looks impeccable and what seems to be tailored clothing. Wonder if he has a personal valet. I was thinking if he dressed himself he would be wearing a muscle shirt with a sport coat and his hair would be askew.

Sinema seems to be enjoying the attention. But she clearly knows which side her bread is buttered on. She’s acting in accordance to her constituent’s wishes, which I can respect. Same for Manchin.

The upcoming Arizona Senate race will be interesting.

Victor Davis Hanson on the first 9 months.

quote:
Sheer chaos and anarchy on the border? Afghanistan—the most humiliating defeat in recent U.S. military history? A labor-starved supply chain in shambles and holiday shelves emptying out? The worst inflation in 30 years that seems soon ready to match Carter-era levels? Gas hitting $5 a gallon with winter heating fuels soaring? Free-for-all looting in the major cities without consequences? President Joe Biden’s policies and Biden himself diving in the polls?

Never in recent American history has any administration birthed such disasters in its first nine months.

Yet most Americans are arguing not over the sheer chaos and disasters of the Biden administration, but rather how could such sheer pre-civilizational calamity occur in modern America? Were these disasters a result of historic incompetency? Or mean-spirited nihilism? Or a deliberate effort to create the necessary turbulence to birth a new American revolution? Or a bit of all three?

Start instead with the idea that what most Americans see as sheer ruin is not what the left-wing puppeteers (who are pulling the strings of the Biden marionette) see. Our catastrophes are their minor glitches. For them, bad polling is mostly a public relations problem of an occasional uncooperative media. Otherwise, a few broken eggs are always necessary to create the perfect socialist omelet.

The left now controlling Washington believes that the U.S. border is a mere construct. Every impoverished person has a birthright to cross into America illegally. The 2 million who are scheduled to enter this fiscal year alone is a wonderful, if occasionally sloppy, event.

Our border calamity is their celebration of humanity and a long-overdue recalibration of ossified American demography, one that will properly warp the Electoral College to provide the necessary election result. If you believe that a culturally imperialistic America needs to be taken down a notch overseas, then the flight from Afghanistan is “impressive” and a “success”— by how quickly and efficiently we skedaddled.

Why worry about a lost $1 billion embassy, a $300 million refit of the Bagram airbase, or $80 billion lost in military hardware and training? Empty shelves? Boohoo.

Grasping, upper-middle-class consumers are angry that the working classes are not willing to risk COVID-19 infection to supply them with their accustomed holiday trinkets.

So, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg intoned that the shortages mean only that the consumer class has to wait a wee bit—until Christmas Eve—to splurge on gifts.

Who worries about a little inflation? Under new monetary theory, printing dollars brings prosperity. Or as White House chief of staff Ron Klain put it in a retweet, inflation is a mere “high-class problem” of the Peloton elite.

Only those with money worry their ill-begotten pile shrinks. But the majority without money will eventually rejoice that it is everywhere now—finally and properly “spread,” as former President and now multimillionaire Barack Obama once promised.

As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., swore, gas and oil are going to be gone anyway in 10 years. So, if Biden slashes over 2 million barrels a day in U.S. oil production, what’s wrong with that?

Didn’t Steven Chu, Obama’s energy secretary, long ago brag that when we hit $8 to $10 a gallon, we’d approach European levels of proper fuel usage? Why whine about paying over $100 to fill up when the planet more quickly cools?

Did not Americans learn “critical legal theory” and “critical race theory”? Or as the architect of the 1619 Project reminded us, destroying or taking someone’s property is no big deal. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey shrugged off torched downtown buildings; such torched stuff, he said, is mere “bricks and mortar.”

It is only a crime to “steal” over $500 of needed merchandise from a Walgreens in San Francisco, because the rich who make such absurd laws never have to steal goods from a pharmacy shelf.

If racists wish to point out that African American male youths are disproportionately represented in the latest crime wave, then maybe America should be learning not to create the conditions that force them to break the law.

In sum, we are on a left-wing roller coaster headed to a socialist nirvana.

Most Americans believe it is instead an out-of-control “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride” nightmare with incompetents at the wheel. But the architects of such “hope and change” shrug that the occasional disturbing news that the media sometimes accidentally leaks out is merely the cost of an equitable America. One man’s anarchy is another’s road to justice.

Keep that mentality in mind and the absurdities that are mouthed by Biden, Klain, press secretary Jen Psaki, Homeland “Security” Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Buttigieg, or the ravings of “the squad” make perfect sense.

They are merely trying to explain to us dummies that what we think is purgatory is actually the new paradise—a promised land that, once we are properly programmed and educated, we too will welcome and thank them for our deliverance.
