Idiot Immigrants Enter Country Legally - The Babylon Bee
They spent their entire life savings, worked for years, took the citizenship test, and now they will have to work hard and start businesses and follow the rules. Like a bunch of suckers. According to sources, they will now work the rest of their lives to pay for the free government benefits for people streaming across the southern border. The joke’s on them!
Pretty funny all the way through.

Biden Calls Democrats to White House as Party Splinters on Spending Plans - WSJ
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that the president would be “meeting with, engaging with, speaking with a range of members over the coming days in this pivotal period of time.”
Press Secretary is a hard job, and few are ever well liked. Jen isn’t off to a great start.
This quote is typical of her briefings: lots of words, almost zero substance.

Texas doctor performs abortion, despite state law banning abortions - USA Today
In an op-ed in The Washington Post, Dr. Alan Braid of San Antonio said he performed the abortion on Sep. 6
This story shows how completely messed up this entire debate is.
A licensed physician uses his life-saving medical training to commit homicide. Not only that, but he deliberately crafted a plan to wait until a set developmental milestone in the victim’s life so that he can prove a point.
To put the finishing touch on his reprehensible act, he brags about it in a national publication?

U.S. Military Acknowledges Kabul Drone Strike Killed 10 Civilians, Including Seven Children - WSJ
The acknowledgment of the botched airstrike also underscored likely limitations of future U.S. counterterrorism efforts in the country. Military officials have insisted that they would be able to monitor, detect and interrupt militant activity despite having no presence on the ground in Afghanistan, but by using an “over the horizon” approach from distant bases. Counterterrorism and intelligence officials have said that information would be less reliable without information from the ground.
