The White House Know Its Police And Border Policies Are About To Crash, But Can They Stop It?
The only real reason a political party shifts focus so dramatically from its goals to issues it wishes it could avoid is terrible internal polling.

Something strange is afoot in the party of Jefferson. With the Democrats still spinning after the collapse of their election bill — and progressives furious with the White House’s seeming lack of commitment to that effort — the president has already pivoted, announcing a plan to tackle the violent crime wave besetting American cities.
And the vice president? She’s on her way to the border, 91 days, two countries, and countless laughs after it was first assigned by the boss.
Some might notice that cracking down on rampant crime and tackling a crisis at the border were not topics of discussion when now-President Joe Biden and now-Vice President Kamala (briefly) shared a debate stage two years ago. In fact, it was quite the opposite, littered with jabs and brags about who was more anti-cop or more open-border. So what gives?
If you get your news from Democrats or their palace guards in corporate media, you might think the White House was forced into this by wicked Republicans and dastardly conservative media.
“Republicans, led by former President Donald Trump, are… attempting to pin the rash of violence on the White House, even though increases in gun violence happened during the previous administration,” Politico claimed, as if their readers can’t remember a full year of Democratic defund-the-police schemes.
