The Biden Era

For the Republican Party facing the November mid-terms, it was essential to remove their losing battle over abortion, Donald Trump's theft of hundreds of pages of classified documents, and President Trump's attempt to overthrow our elected government and the resulting Jan. 6 House committee off the front pages.

The Democrats were gaining ground fast and something had to be done. Sooner was better than later.

So two Republican governors shipped hundreds of migrants to northern cities to revive a decades-old problem for the U.S. They won't tell you that the Republican administrations of Reagan, Bush, the first, and Bush, the second couldn't solve the problem, either. They blame the entire problem on Democratic President Joe Biden.

CNN explains, "Republican governors are in a cynical competition to outdo each other and send migrants from the US border by bus to New York, Washington, DC, Chicago and, now, by plane to Martha’s Vineyard.

"Two unannounced planes carrying an estimated 50 migrants landed in the wealthy seaside enclave of Massachusetts on Wednesday night, surprising locals.

"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed credit for the stunt, which took the migrants from Texas, not Florida, and left them without planning on the street.

"His stunt may have been outdone by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who started sending buses of migrants to Washington, DC, back in April and on Thursday morning, left asylum-seekers outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ house at the US Naval Observatory."

The media complied with the Republican Party. Since Wednesday there have been hours and hours of stories concerning their stunts and videos of their statements.

The media barely mentioned the court case involving Trump's theft of classified documents and there was no mention of Trump's coup attempt on Jan. 6 or the House committee investigating the ransacking of our capitol.

There is a burning question that no poll, no news correspondent, and no newspaper wants to consider.

It is important, too, because the November mid-terms are just around the corner.

With more and more states with Republican legislatures and Republican governors passing more and more laws restricting abortions, come election time will Republican women in these Republican states support the Republican position that the government is in control of a pregnant women's health?

I doubt forum Republicans will answer that question. They never do. As this thread attests, they don't talk much. It may be an intelligence issue.

Nevertheless, it would be nice to get some feedback on that question.
