The world is on fireplace and the feckless Biden administration stands by.
The folks of Iran and China are crying out for freedom, and Biden cowers, similar to President Barack Obama did.
Joe, you surrendered to the Taliban. In fact you may’t stand as much as communist China since you are compromised, and you'll’t stand as much as Iran since you’re determined to re-enter the deadly Iran nuclear deal.
Your weak point precipitated Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine since you aren’t feared and revered like former President Donald Trump.
Many wish to cross our sovereign border, not figuring out that we aren't that significantly better beneath your socialist presidency than what they're escaping.

Sen. Chris Murphy totally helps open borders, non-prosecution and citizenship for unlawful immigrants and immigration sanctuary cities and states (“Implement gun guidelines or el$e: senator,” Nov. 28).
All of that are violations of federal regulation. However now he desires to withhold federal dollars if uncommon Second Modification sanctuaries don’t prosecute the gun legal guidelines the way in which he desires.
What occurs when an unlawful immigrant, violent gang member, drug vendor or convicted felon is arrested on gun fees in a “Second Modification sanctuary” metropolis?
Do we have now to ask Murphy how and whether or not to prosecute or not?

Murphy’s selective concern relating to the enforcement of gun legal guidelines is laughable.
As an alternative of focusing on Second Modification sanctuaries, let’s see some outrage directed on the lenient prosecutors in these “robust gun regulation” blue cities.
