Sometimes the reality of a situation is just so overwhelming the mainstream Pravda just cannot keep the ruse in place. Today the corporate media had no option other than to fact-check DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for saying the Biden administration has control over the border.

ABC begins by challenging Secretary Mayorkas about the prior warnings of the crisis, while illegal aliens cite JoeBama policy changes as to why they are coming across the Southern border illegally.

Analysis Note – The southern border crisis was created as a very visible distraction to a much larger set of JoeBama activities within multiple institutions of government.  However, the useful problem has now become too big to ignore… The “never let a crisis go to waste” as a distraction is now threatening to overwhelm the other structural goals taking place behind the scenes.   [One example of those quiet goals is installing KBJ as a supreme court justice to replace Stephen Bryer.]

The current goals of the administration are vast and include weaponizing institutions to generate outcomes and protect a bigger agenda.  The mission of the weaponized DOJ, FBI, DoD and National Security agencies are now being threatened by the tsunami of crisis messaging from the border distraction.   The professionally political leftist politicians are now having a hard time as 70+ percent of the American electorate are concerned about the border crisis.

This sets the stage for the border crisis to break through in national media.   Thus the challenging of Secretary Mayorkas continued in a bunch of Sunday talk shows.

This morning on Maria Bartiromo’s television program, congressman Jeff Van Drew shared details of death threats from a New Jersey journalist to himself and his family.  The reporter works for the Ocean City Sentinel and writes syndicated articles which are carried in numerous outlets.  WATCH:

You might remember the corrupt Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby who attempted to make a national name for herself in the prosecution of the “Baltimore Six”; six police officers she charged in the death of Freddie Gray back in 2015.

As Baltimore burned amid political fuel driven by Black Lives Matter, Mosby was the lead narrative engineer who attempted to frame the six police officers for the death of Gray until her fraudulent charges collapsed in the first two officer trials which resulted in acquittal.

According to recent media reports Marilyn Mosby and her husband, Nick Mosby, the Baltimore city counsel president, are facing a federal indictment as a grand jury is hearing evidence about the couple using campaign funds to pay for their personal expenses. Not surprisingly the AME church network is also under investigation.

BALTIMORE – […] WBAL-TV reports that Marilyn Mosby is suspected of using campaign funds to pay personal legal fees. The couple’s bank statements, tax returns, canceled checks and credit card statements dating all the way back to 2014 have are all being sought for review by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice.

This likely will not come as a surprise to most CTH readers, but a recent poll from Rasmussen shows the nation is split on whether Joe Biden is actually fulfilling the role of the presidency.  Forty-seven percent of those polled believe there are people behind Biden that are really in control.

(Via Rasmussen) –  Voters are evenly divided about President Joe Biden’s ability to perform the duties of his office, and nearly half believe others are really in charge at the White House.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Biden is really doing the job of president. The same number (47%) say others are making decisions for Biden behind the scenes. (read more)

Even die-hard democrats will admit privately that someone else seems to be running the White House.  The inability of the press secretary to outline who is actually in control of the cabinet-level staff is quite remarkable.  When posed with questions Jen Psaki rarely answers about executive level decisions and instead defers to the institutional agents who are in position to talk to reporters.

I’m not sure which article the statement refers to, possibly THIS ONE, but one thing is clear – discussion of the 2020 election fraud issue is a subject the New York Times spends an awful lot of time attempting to diminish.

The relationship between Beijing and Pyongyang has been obvious since President Trump took office in 2017 and began a series of sunlight diplomacy drops.  What President Trump exposed was the level of control China holds over North Korea.  Essentially, Kim Jong-Un is a hostage to Chairman Xi Jinping with little control over the military aspects of the DPRK.

When this baseline forms the forward analysis, the paradigm of historic western engagement with North Korea takes on an entire new dimension.

If China controls North Korea, specifically the functional leadership within the military, then all military action is essentially not from North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un, but rather controlled and positioned by Chairman Xi.

As a downstream consequence the issue of North Korean nuclear weapons is essentially moot.  Of course the DPRK has nuclear weapon capability, those weapons would come from China and be controlled by Beijing.

Accept the DPRK as a proxy province to China and the issues look completely different.  We can debate the level of Beijing’s control, but it is certainly evident the military -which is essentially the important part of the DPRK government- receives instructions from China, not from Kim.  Chairman Kim Jong-un is essentially riding a dragon he does not control.  That was the subtle diplomacy visible inside the relationship as expressed between President Trump and Chairman Kim.

To say the first major diplomatic summit between the United States and China was an unmitigated mess would be an understatement.  Apparently U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken thought it would be of value for the domestic audience if he was to lambast the Beijing delegation in public and on camera.  His efforts were a complete fail as the Chinese knew everything was presented for domestic consumption… so, the Red Dragon threw fire right back onto the purple hair and obviously stunned an unsettled U.S. Secretary.

The train wreck was started by challenging China publicly, in front of the international press, likely believing such an aggressive posture would weaken Republican criticism about the Job Biden administration being soft/weak on China. However, using a joint press conference as the forum only provided insult to the Beijing delegation.

Public insults are expressions of weakness, not strength.

It was visibly obvious that Secretary Blinken stupidly did not anticipate the Chinese officials would retaliate in their remarks responding to him.

The Chinese diplomatic team is exceptionally skilled at verbal combat; they use facts and evident weakness to their advantage. Blinken’s foolish decision gave the Chinese officials a rare opportunity to dress down the Secretary of State very publicly in front of the international media.

Secretary Blinken was visibly shocked and destabilized by the strength of the returning words from the Chinese team. His response was extremely defensive; ‘he doth protest too much’, and he was incoherent. Blinken also repeated JoeBama’s ridiculous catch-phrase “America is back.”

In this exchange between Senator Rand Paul and Anthony Fauci the senator from Kentucky confronts Fauci about the irrelevance of wearing a mask after either infection/recovery or vaccination. As Senator Paul notes there is not a single study that shows reinfection after COVID recovery, so why the “theater” of wearing a mask when the immunity is present?

Fauci has no scientific response except to say “variants” of the COVID virus are potentially possible for reinfection.  The lead advocate for national policy then takes exception to being called out for the political “theater” of his mask wearing dictates. WATCH:

There is a larger segment of the American population now catching-on to the political ruse that underlines the COVID fear.  With Florida as an example of how COVID is not the threat the U.S. federal government claims it to be, more people are starting to ask common sense questions.

Fauci is a  political operative within the bureaucracy.  This was evident from his first entry into the public spotlight. Fauci claims masks may be needed into some unknown future, again because of some fearful determinations that have absolutely no basis in science or research.  This is propaganda.

Katherine Tai was confirmed by a unanimous senate vote today to become the United States Trade Representative.  The vote was 98-0.  Ambassador Tai has family connections in both Taiwan and China and replaces former USTR Robert Lighthizer.

The doctrine of President Trump was to use trade and economics to achieve diplomatic results on foreign policy and national security issues. It will be interesting to watch what happens now as the Biden Administration returns to using ideological diplomacy as the baseline… then providing economic benefits to support leftist objectives.

The rustbelt was created, and China rose to economic influence, on the political outlook once again in power in the United States.  Ideology comes first, all other things changed, modified and or considered downstream in lesser importance than the ideology.  This was how the alignment of Wall Street, Globalists and Beijing exploited Bush, Clinton-Clinton, Bush-Bush and Obama-Obama terms.  The U.S. middle-class economy suffered greatly, while Wall Street multinationals thrived.

On the positive side there will be pressure from the Bernie Sanders wing to defend American jobs.  However, that faction’s political leadership, like Bernie Sanders himself and AOC, will compromise the long-term interests of the American worker when the opportunity surfaces for personal and familial wealth.  The Sanders types, just like the union leadership, can all be bought for the right price.

Ambassador Tai has not yet made statements about whether she will advocate for steel and aluminum tariff removal, but she is a big supporter of environmental justice as it pertains to trade and economic justice.  The climate and trade issue here specifically is the potential for carbon taxes to be part of JoeBama trade policy.  How?  Well, that might look like the U.S. re-entering the Trans Pacific Partnership with a carbon trading system in place.

The same thing happened in 2014 when Obama blocked the media from reporting on the escalating border crisis.  Breitbart news then came under attack for independently talking to border patrol and documenting the crisis.  In the 2021 version the JoeBama administration is back to their old tricks.

Journalists are not being allowed to review or document the escalating crisis at the southern U.S. border.  No pictures are allowed, and the Biden crew has instructed all government officials not to talk to reporters or journalists.  They are hiding their motives behind the justification of COVID.  NBC carefully attempts to call them out.

WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is restricting the information Border Patrol agents and sector chiefs can share with the media as a surge of migrants tests the agency’s capacity at the southern border, according to four current and two former Customs and Border Protection officials.
