Sometimes it is difficult to bite your tongue and not respond negatively to the manipulative public positioning of well known sanctimonious hypocrites. Today, as I watched this interview with Senator Ted Cruz, my prayers were for grace amid the face the stunning & historical hypocrisy.
You see, there’s a problem with Cruz’s current position of advocacy regarding the southern border crisis… a position he must first reconcile before any credibility can be given to any statements. Back in 2014 Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch attacked anyone who challenged them on their ridiculous public spectacle at the U.S. southern border; during their Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls tour. More on that in a moment….
Here is Ted Cruz discussing his ‘new found’ concern about illegal aliens under the Biden administration.

In 2014 Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck and Dana Loesch went to the Texas border to deliver gifts to the incoming illegal aliens during the first of many crisis involving “Unaccompanied Alien Children.” Yes the same Dana Loesch that went on to become the spokesperson for the NRA was at the border handing out gifts to illegal border crossers under the guise of a humanitarian crisis. {Full Details Here}
Beck and Cruz were passing out Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls, while Catholic Charities and Baptist Child and Family Services were getting millions. The inner-city American kids? Well, nothing for them…. not even a word from DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson. But, oh yeah, Black Lives Matter, right? I digress. All of this is well documented in the links above. It’s all there for those who have eyes to see and a capability of being intellectually honest.
When Clarice Feldman, Thomas Lifson (American Thinker) and myself called-out their enabling conduct, the trio of Cruz, Beck and Loesch went bananas and launched a full-throated attack against us for calling them out. Seven years later Ted Cruz apparently wants everyone to forget what he did to create the environment that now exists as the UAC issue on steroids happens again.

Yes, we have a crisis at the southern border; however, it is a crisis that Ted Cruz has always wind-tested his response toward.
Thank you Sundance.
So thankful for this article.
Every time I see this liars name I want to write comments for which I would be banned.
I despise Ted.
The epitome of the uniparty kabuki.
Just think if we had a patriot senator and governor in TX rather than the bush cabal.
We would not be whining about the 16 yr old “kids”. They would still be on the other side of the wall.
Trump absolutely nailed the nickname once again, “Lyin’ Ted”. And Cruz continues to prove Trump right.
And let’s not EVER forget the sore loser horseshit he pulled at Trump’s confirmation convention with the “vote your conscience” BS.
I heard him talking on radio today and immediately thought he was starting his run for President early.
Ted Cruz is the Miss Linseed of a Nikki Mittballs
Another Republican Loser!
Ted Cruz will join up with former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson to form a really bad Mexican pro wrestling tag team called the El Diablos.
Whatever Ted’s history, his presentation on Maria’s show yesterday was forceful and damning, and I just hope a lot of folks who don’t normally listen to conservatives heard it.
Thanks for the links. I didn’t have the factual information to back it up, but he’s always struck me as the kind of “do and say whatever it takes to win” kind of politician.
I’ve had the impression in recent years that his recently discovered vociferousness was a reaction to Trump. He saw how popular Trump is among the base and said “well, if being an aggressive loudmouth works for Trump, it surely will work for me as well” and adjusted his behavior accordingly.
Unfortunately, it seems to be working because his popularity has increased. Too many people live solely in the “here and now” and completely forget about what got us here. Anyone who adapts their positions and behaviors based solely on the political winds is not to be trusted. Ever.
I’m actually having some difficulty reconciling Cruz in this instance.
Typically, the establishment players all play their roles and while they might say “the right things” they generally never cross that line and never actually DO the right things.
What Cruz did seems to have crossed that line in a big and meaningful way. OK, the scope of distribution is going to be inherently limited — that is to say only people who already agree with this point of view will ever see or hear of this (which may be the reason this may not be considered dangerous to the establishment). So maybe that’s how it can be reconciled.
But we also see indications where Cruz is always trying to get into that big club but they just won’t let him in. Why won’t they let him into the club? He has a long history of being rejected and I’m thinking it’s because they know they can’t trust him either.
What is this curious case of The rejected outsider Ted Cruz?
Here’s a refresher for everyone from our Constitution. Remember that document?
Article 4, IV Amendment:
“ Section 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”
Maybe our Republican representatives like the traitor, Mitch McConnell, need a refresher course.
Enforce the law!
