The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is undoubtedly busy. But Gen. Milley found time to talk to Woodward, Leonnig, Rucker, Bender, and perhaps other authors doing books highly critical of former President Trump. 1/6 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
Milley says it's all part of the job, 'to explain what we're doing.' Like when he was quoted worrying about a Trump post-election coup. 'This is a Reichstag moment,' Milley said. 'The gospel of the Fuhrer.' 2/6
Milley undoubtedly confirmed that to authors. Just explaining to media what the Chiefs are doing. 3/6
And what about Milley's exchange with Michelle Obama on Biden inauguration day? 'No one has a bigger smile today than I do,' he said. 'You can't see it under my mask, but I do.' More explaining to media what the Chiefs are doing. 4/6
So Milley dished and dished. Then he got burned with Woodward/Costa sensational description of call with Chinese. Unfairly called a 'traitor.' The lesson? Live by media, die by media. 5/6
Link: Milley's dishing. 6/6 End. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…

Mayorkas: We won't build a wall because it might work. 1/7 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
US immigration law says two things. 1) It is illegal to cross into the US without authorization. And 2) An alien who is 'physically present' in the US can apply for asylum. 2/7 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…
The Biden administration appears to take that to mean it cannot stop people from entering the US. That would interfere with their right to apply for asylum! 3/7

What are the most accurate numbers on the illegal border crossers who flooded into Del Rio, Texas?
Yesterday DHS chief Mayorkas gave these numbers:
30,000 - Total since September 9.
15,000 - Highest number at one time.
12,400 - Admitted to US for later immigration hearing.
8,000 - Returned to Mexico voluntarily.
5,000 - In US, in DHS proceedings.
2,000 - Flown to Haiti.
Mayorkas' numbers do not add up to 30,000. Unclear about the rest. Here is more info, from @anna_giaritelli: washingtonexaminer.com/news/border-pa…

WP columnist knows medical ethics call for doctors to treat the sick -- all the sick. 'Doctors are healers, not judges.' But wait! Now there's a new 'ethical calculus'! Vaccine resisters should be pushed to the back of the treatment priority line. 1/5 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
But what about others who bring illness or injury on themselves? There's a difference -- the unvaccinated are worse! 'Not in the same moral position of the smoker with lung cancer or the drunk driver' who kills others but needs treatment himself. 2/5
Of course patients -- obese, smokers, drunk drivers -- who have at least in part brought their condition on themselves deserve prompt care. Unless they have not gotten a Covid vaccination. Then -- no, no, no. 3/5

The Texas Democrats who fled the state to stop a Republican elections bill from becoming law have now sued Gov. Greg Abbott. The lawsuit is really funny. Thread:
After fleeing Texas, the Democratic lawmakers allege they have 'suffered much anxiety and distress over the separation from their families.' They blame Abbott. static.texastribune.org/media/files/ab…
After fleeing Texas, the Democrats say they have 'lost much time from their homes and the companionship and care of their families.' They blame Abbott.
