I'm surprised Fox News took a break from infuriating people about trans teenage athletes and race baiting about critical race theory to start riling people about Kamala and the border. I suppose this means we'll soon seen alarmist posts about disease filled caravans of terrorists and criminals marching to the US. All news sources should be reporting these terrible things that are happening at the border and yes, it's alarming. Trans teenage athletes competing in girl's sports? I'm not a fan. Race baiting about critical race theory? I'm not up to speed enough about critical race theory at this point to have formed an opinion. I'm guessing we'd probably disagree though...

I know she has, I think I might have even met her at one of Kaitlyn’s benefits. But her very own political posting history has shown that she posts these things in bad faith (thanks Merge , that was what I couldn’t remember!). We don’t have to assume her intentions, she’s shown us many times. Now, that’s not to say we don’t assume intentions when new posters spout Fox New/OAN talking points in a post but don’t necessarily have that history, but that is not the case here. I admit I'm not on these political posts much. But your response (thank you for that) had me curious so I looked up her posting history. Looks to me like you guys are being way harsh on her. She has other opinions than you guys, yes, but not a one unkind post there. She rarely posts, but when she does she gets named called. She also still posts about other subjects, she's not some troll. Probably because she leaves the unkind stuff for Facebook. 🥴😕 I’ll never look at her the same way she presents herself here. 🤷🏼♀️

Yes, I watch Fox News; they raise questions that we all should be asking at this point. Is there ever a time that you question what your political party is or is not doing right now? I hope you don't just watch Fox News, but in my experience, that is all Trump supporters watch. Other news stations raise concerns and questions too, and if you only watch Fox, you are not getting a true picture of what is going on in this country.

I don't post very much on FB either, but mostly memories...family stuff. A touch of political some time ago, but a quick scroll doesn't show me where I've been unkind. As I don't know who you are, could you please do me the courtesy of unfriending/blocking me on FB so you don't have to see me anymore?

We do have mutual friends, though - which is how I saw what I saw. You were cruel and dismissive of someone who didn’t deserve it at all. Im confused why I should block you? I certainly don’t make a habit of looking for your posts. 🤨 If it makes you uncomfortable that it’s easy to figure who you are on FB because of the name you chose here, maybe that’s something you should’ve thought about?

I think Biden did Harris a disservice by dropping immigration on her. It was obvious that no matter how her role was defined - working with Mexico and Central America countries to address root causes is what her role actually is - there was no way this wasn't going to be a political nightmare. Immigration is incredibly difficult and complex and never going to not piss off a lot of people no matter what you do. And Trump instituted some specific policies that exacerbated the humanitarian issues at the border and I do NOT support those policies, but he didn't cause the border crisis. Unaccompanied minors from Central America was a HUGE issue during the Obama administration and immigration in general has been an issue forever. I wish her the best of luck - but bet this will be a liability when she runs for president. I agree with you. A better choice would have been someone who has a solid experience in and knowledge of Central America. And let’s not forget to acknowledge, no matter how discomfiting it is, that the US was also responsible for the political instability that caused deaths and poverty in Central America, especially in the ‘80s. We played a huge part in destabilizing these countries, the effects of which we’re still seeing to this day. And yes, it’s complex and very difficult to try and solve. If we’re to tackle the root causes of the present problems, just continuously throwing money at it doesn’t do much as prior decades have already shown. These countries are mired in so much poverty, violence and corruption that even if we handed our entire revenue to them, the problem will still persist. I think Harris is trying to get as much cooperation as possible from them to at least mitigate some of the problems plaguing Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. Unless someone can come up with a better plan, she's doing what she's been tasked. I agree with so much of what you both are saying. There is absolutely no "quick-fix" to the border problem. I wish the people that complain about the border problem would be honest about how the labor of immigrants is taken advantage of. I saw it myself in the years that I worked in the construction industry. They often got less wages and worked much longer hours. So many of our subcontractors would go "find" day laborers because they could make so much more money on a job by finding cheap labor. Thinking that a border visit would actually do something...gah...talk about the ostrich sticking it's head in the sand!

But mainstream media IS reporting it. And, Keri, let’s try and be fair about what’s happening. This is not a result of just a couple of years of mounting problems. Border crises in the US fluctuate depending on the severity of the conditions people are fleeing from. Add to that the number of people seeking asylum from war-stricken countries. Let’s also be fair in assessing what this admin is doing to deal with the extremely high numbers of people held at the border: --Aggressive efforts to reunite children with their families and sponsors (and I’m sure I don’t need to tell you who was responsible for the inhumane child separation policy) --Number of minors in the custody of Refugee Resettlement has dropped by thousands due to speeding up sponsorship processes --Additional emergency sites have been put up so minors can have a safe place --Citizenship and Immigration services are expediting processing of people --Established additional application centers with extended hours to handle the influx of applicants These may not be enough, and they likely aren’t, but there are no fast and easy solutions to a gigantic problem. So please refrain from giving the impression that this admin is just sitting around waiting for the problems to solve themselves.

Thank you to those of you who opted for a thoughtful response as to why Kamala Harris might not think a trip to the border is important. To those of you who just chose to denigrate me, well you never fail to perpetuate your stereotype. Whether you like my posting style or not, you choose whether and how to respond. If you choose to respond with insults and vulgarities, that's on you. Yes, I watch Fox News; they raise questions that we all should be asking at this point. Is there ever a time that you question what your political party is or is not doing right now? I think she should go to the border at least in support of the efforts that are being made to control the uncontrollable situation. It doesn't have to be a PR move. Women are great problem solvers; she might have an epiphany moment that could be helpful. Just saying "the border is closed; don't come" was the PR move. Most people are perfectly capable of forming their own thoughts and questions without a news source feeding it to us. It’s very easy to tell what the outrage-du-jour is from Fox without watching it.

That was my point. Sure she’s been there, but I think it’s disingenuous at best to not admit the difference between a 2011 visit as CA’s AG and now as VP and border czar. I know. I was agreeing with you.

Since it’s question time, I am curious about the meme on the right that Ashli Babbitt was an innocent patriot who was murdered for no good reason. Some maintain that she didn’t know that the officer in the next room had a gun. I ask because I’ve seen the video several times, and it’s just not true. I am sorry that she is dead, but her own actions led directly to her death. Thoughts?

Race baiting about critical race theory? I'm not up to speed enough about critical race theory at this point to have formed an opinion. I'm guessing we'd probably disagree though... You are so, so right about how all news sources should be reporting on things that threaten our national security and well being. For example, I assume you've seen some stories on Fox News about climate change and the impact it's had on wildfire season across the west? How last year, in defiance of everything the experts believed, wildfire actually jumped the continental divide in Colorado? Or that wildfires used to burn at 1700 degrees but now are regularly burning at 2100 degrees, destroying the underlying soil and forest root systems? Maybe you've seen some stories about the extreme drought conditions across the west as well - how it's gotten so bad this year that authorities are starting to go after unauthorized small farm ponds for diverting water from the Colorado river system? Since you're not a fan of trans athletes competing in sports, I hope it provides some relief that since you aren't a high school athlete, the chances you'll ever confront that situation are slim. I wonder, is Fox reporting on the ongoing debacle with the Texas electric grid and the seemingly never ending corruption and incompetency of ERCOT? It's too bad, what with the unprecedented early heat wave hitting Texas and much of the west, that lawmakers still continue to resist enacting policy to protect the integrity and functionality of the grid which keeps millions of people alive and economies functioning. And that doesn't even begin to address the national security implications and chaos caused by... you guessed it... the continuing change in the world climate which is causing these repeated "unprecedented" weather events. I hope you get to see the photo op you're looking for and that it provides you some piece of mind regarding whatever you are so afraid of at the US/Mexico border. In general, I think addressing the things that threaten us is better done through actual policy changes but ymmv.

It seems to me their two shows are full of nothing but lies.

(I am aware that it is a press of a button to switch to make the scale “American” 😂) I like to track my weight over the years and always enter it into a long-running note on my iPad. I hate having to take the time to get out the calculator and translate each time.

I know she's been to Guatemala, but she hasn't been to Europe. Shouldn't a trip to the border be at the top of her priority list as border czar? I’ll respond even though everyone knows you just came to drop your turd and bail/not come back on what you thought would be a cute little dig on the Vice President. Border czar? Funny—since that this is what REPUBLICANS say her role is and assigned that “title” (hint:it’s not a thing) She wasn’t given that “title” by the administration. Since you cannot read/listen to anything but Fox or even your own stares local reporting, Vice President Harris already answered your question. Photo op gestures are worthless, she’s meeting and working at the root cause, has verbally told migrants not to make the trip, and there are representatives of this administration already visiting and making reports, collecting data on the border. . Trump only wanted the wall so he could put his name on it and continue with his hateful racist, xenophobic rhetoric. He didn’t give a shit about the immigration or the people in bordering towns. I am quoting you because I want people to read this. I am just SMH at people who do NOT understand what is going on and yet feel a need to comment because Fox or Newsmax or some other rabid "news" outlet told them that that is the way it is.

Gosh, where was this attitude for the past 4 years. Maybe she's following Mike Pence's timeline of 1 year before he visited the border as VP? Maybe she will down there before Feb 2022?

It was the 3rd story when I pulled it up - where they actually have the pic and it's in top center. I wonder how the site decides what to put on your landing page or if someone decided to bury it between when I posted and you looked. I'm not sure if it's dynamic or not.

And while I'm sure some use Kamala as a sign of disrespect - it's also pretty common for people with unusual first names to be known by them - so I wouldn't assume that someone referring to her as Kamala is denying her the respect she deserves. It's usually pretty easy to tell the difference - particularly with those who still haven't figured out how to pronounce her name. Come on. Merkel is not referred to as Angela. Macron is not referred to as Emmanuel. It is clearly a indication of disrespect for her stature as a woman…and a person of color. But be sure to rationalize it and make it a nice twisty pretzel in your head.

So FoxNews has an actual news program for like an hour in the evening - they might also do something during the day, I'm not sure. Then they have all their hosts who don't pretend to be journalists - Hannity etal. I don't watch it regularly, but will say that on a few breaking news stories I will turn it on if CNN starts to annoy me and they do a decent job with actual breaking news. I also turned it on during the election and they were fine - it's the daily idiots spouting nonsense that's the problem - Hannity and Tucker are morons and unfortunately people think that its' "news" as the channel is foxnews. My Dad turns it on to annoy my Mom, so I'm subjected to it on family visits - somehow he likes to flip between MSNBC and FoxNews - I can't explain it - they all drive me insane after 15 minutes.

I'm surprised Fox News took a break from infuriating people about trans teenage athletes and race baiting about critical race theory to start riling people about Kamala and the border. I suppose this means we'll soon seen alarmist posts about disease filled caravans of terrorists and criminals marching to the US. The problem with demonizing fox for asking the question, CNN and others are also asking.

I absolutely did not use her given name as an indication of disrespect. But be sure to make it about gender and racism and make it a nice twisty pretzel in your head.

Come on. Merkel is not referred to as Angela. Macron is not referred to as Emmanuel. It is clearly a indication of disrespect for her stature as a woman…and a person of color. But be sure to rationalize it and make it a nice twisty pretzel in your head. After 5 or 6 years of calling Trump every actual disrespectful thing under the sun, the whining that calling her by her given name being disrespectful is laughable.

He's a fucking asshole and so are you.
