Stupidocrisy: The Border and the Ditch :: By Bill Wilson

Throughout the last presidential campaign, there was a clear line drawn between candidates on the issue of border security, otherwise known as illegal immigration. Democrat Joe Biden wanted open borders, no border wall, and signaled to the world that illegal immigrants would be welcome in the US. President Donald Trump wanted to finish building the wall across the border with Mexico and continue to control illegal immigration. After the election, hordes of immigrants began moving toward the US border, and it is reported that hundreds of thousands are crossing illegally as President Biden has done away with Trump’s border security with the stroke of a pen on an Executive Order. Stupidocrisy.

One of Biden’s new policies allows for authorities to detain illegal immigrants if they entered through the border after November 1. So Biden essentially invited illegal immigration before November in his campaign rhetoric, yet his new policies allow for the arrest of those crossing the border illegally after November 1. Too late. Risk of arrest or not, they came in droves anyway.

Biden’s inept handling of the border has caused such an invasion of illegal immigrants that border security agents are overwhelmed. Moreover, Biden’s policies are causing negative consequences for the states, such as Texas, Florida, Arizona and Montana, who are taking actions into their own hands.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody said that she is taking legal action against the Biden administration because of its “egregious” immigration regulations.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said, “Blindly releasing thousands of people, including convicted criminals and those who may be spreading COVID-19 into our state, is both unconscionable and a violation of federal law. This must be stopped now to avoid a dangerous humanitarian crisis for the immigrants and the people of Arizona.”

Citing increased drug trafficking as a result of Biden’s policy change, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen joined Brnovich in a lawsuit against the Biden Administration, filing for a preliminary injunction to block the regulations.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott called in the National Guard to work with law enforcement to combat a 79.6% increase in illegal border crossings between October 2020 and January 2021. Abbott says Biden’s policies have created a humanitarian crisis and are endangering the lives of Texans.

The border is so overwhelmed, Biden has resorted to asking volunteers to help.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in an email to employees on March 8, “You have likely seen the news about the overwhelming numbers of migrants seeking access to this country along the Southwest Border…. Today, I activated the Volunteer Force to support Customs and Border Protection as they face a surge in migration along the Southwest Border.”

Meanwhile, when asked by reporters about the border crisis, Biden said there’s no crisis on the border and “we’ll be able to handle it.”

As Jesus said in Matthew 15:14, “They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

“Both,” in this case, is a misguided president and the country he misguides. Say it with me… Stupidocrisy.

The Winds of Tyranny :: By Bill Wilson

The winds of tyranny have been picking up across the United States.

  • We have seen it with the cancel culture—the labeling of anyone with whom someone disagrees.
  • We see it with Amazon and others removing books from their stores, reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
  • It is apparent with the tearing down of statues representing the historic past of America.
  • And we see it in a one-party controlled government that passes anything it wants, without even proper debate or listening to the people who elected them.

Congress is the epicenter of the most powerful natural disaster in history as the winds of tyranny fill the American Flag flying over the nation’s capitol behind a chain link fence topped with razor wire.

The natural disaster is that of wrong-minded, misguided men and women turning the world upside down with impunity.

The Senate cleared the way for the $1.9 TRILLION COVID relief bill to be sent to the White House for the president’s signature. Republicans say that only 9% of the bill’s spending actually goes to anything related to COVID. The bill contains so much socialism that it will be very difficult to overcome for decades. Money for abortions. Money for illegal immigrants. Money for expanding socialist healthcare—that only benefits insurance companies. Money for San Francisco’s transit system. Money for a bridge from New York to Canada. Money, your hard-earned money, redistributed.

That’s just the start. Next up is the misnamed “For the People Act of 2021.” HR 1 addresses “election reform” by instituting and legalizing the very cause of voter fraud.

As Epoch Times summarized HR 1: “would transfer authority over how elections are administered from states to the federal government, subject private citizens to intimidation and harassment for their private and political beliefs, and make permanent many voting rules that opponents say lead to voter fraud.”

Instead of fixing election integrity issues, this bill just makes them legal. Things like automatic voter registration, no-fault absentee ballots accepted up to 10 days after the election, prohibits removal of ineligible voters from the voter rolls, bans voter ID laws, ensures illegal immigrants can vote, allows same day voter registration, ballot harvesting, and the list goes on and on.

Just these two bills summed up: Congress and the White House are legally robbing you of your money, your children’s and grandchildren’s financial future, and are establishing a socialistic system of one-party rule, a system of tyranny. And it is just the beginning. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) declared, “This is just the start of what Congress can do for working Americans.”

Congress keeping the walls up around the capitol is symbolic of a government truly separated and far from the people its duty is to represent. These are dark days.

As in Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Trouble is, the “woe” is also on those of us swept up in the high winds of tyranny.
