US border officials report illegal crossers now coming from around world--160 countries in recent months. Leaving Mumbai, connecting through Dubai, Paris, Mexico City, then heading for US border. March was record, then April higher. 1/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
US would never tolerate such a situation at its airports. Fly into ATL, ORD, LAX from overseas and every single person must present documents showing legal right to enter US. Would anyone advocate throwing that system out? 2/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
Yet that is precisely what is happening on US-Mexico border. Thousands coming across. No right to enter US outside ports of entry. Biden is not trying to *stop* the flow. He is trying to *accommodate* the flow, arranging housing, transportation. 3/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
Link: A disaster entirely of Joe Biden's making. 4/4 End. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…

House Republicans ready to oust Liz Cheney from leadership role today. Expecting media torrent accusing them of being in thrall to Trump, surrendered to Trump. But here's the thing... 1/16 washingtonexaminer.com/politics/why-r…
Go back to January 13. Cheney, nine other Republicans vote to impeach Trump. GOP leadership takes no action against them. When some members call for vote on February 3, Cheney receives big show of support, winning 145-61. 2/16 washingtonexaminer.com/politics/why-r…
So question: If Republicans were so angry at Cheney for her vote against Trump, how did she win a leadership vote by more than 2-to-1 margin just three weeks after? 3/16

Agree. Having watched all bodycam video played in court, it's clear Floyd strongly resisted arrest. Took multiple officers to subdue him. Under influence of drugs. Was repeatedly complaining he couldn't breathe, not just on pavement.
So to layman's eyes, it did not seem excessive that officers got him on the ground. While Chauvin had knee on him, Floyd was talking, grunting, making noise, even spoke with bystander. So way he was held did not seem outrageous. 2/4
Even when Floyd began to talk, grunt less, it would not be unreasonable to think he was finally calming down under restraint. But there came a time when Chauvin should have let up. Floyd was clearly losing consciousness, not moving. 3/4

Press flattery backfire in Biden newser. Reporter tells Biden: 'The perception of you that got you elected--as a moral, decent man--is the reason why a lot of immigrants are coming to this country and entrusting you with unaccompanied minors.' 1/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
How nice! First-class flattery. But Biden rejected it, because it conflicted with his (false) explanation of border crisis. Instead, he repeatedly claimed border influx was nothing new, had happened same way over and over in past... 2/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
That allowed Biden to claim that current influx has nothing to do with him or his policies. It's the weather! It's conditions in the home countries! It's not because of anything I've done! 3/4 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…

Talked a few days ago about charges against Oath Keepers militia in Capitol riot. Big part of story: They were unarmed -- were careful to observe District of Columbia's strict gun-control laws... 1/5 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
...but there was talk of armed 'quick reaction force' waiting in Virginia to help Oath Keepers topple government if things got nasty. 2/5 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
Problem: Some of the Oath Keepers' communications before rally suggested 'quick reaction force' was actually one guy at the Comfort Inn in Ballston who was too tired to spend the day in the District. 3/5 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…

Senate hearing on Capitol riot this morning. Perhaps finally we'll learn some basic facts. One key question: Why were Capitol Hill authorities so uprepared? 1/7 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
During Trump impeachment II, Democratic House managers repeatedly told the Senate that FBI, other agencies warned top Capitol Hill officials that there would be trouble on January 6. 2/7 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
Here is what Rep. Raskin told the Senate: 3/7

In Capitol riot investigation, DOJ has filed superseding indictment against several people affiliated with Oath Keepers militia. They were the ones in military garb who pushed their way up Capitol steps in 'stack' formation. 1/7 justice.gov/usao-mdnc/pr/s…
Appears those charged were living in a kind of fantasy world in days before January 6. When Trump tweeted rally would be 'wild,' they took that as Trump telling them specifically to make it 'wild' through paramilitary action. 2/7
'[Trump] wants us to make it WILD that's what he's saying,' one wrote on Facebook. 'He called us all to the Capitol and wants us to make it wild!!! Sir Yes Sir!!!' 3/7
