The White House scrambled to explain comments President Joe Biden made about Japan’s stance on immigrants Wednesday night at a fundraiser in Washington, D.C.

Biden’s remarks came just weeks after he hosted Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for a state visit at the White House. Wednesday’s campaign event was primarily attended by Asian American donors.

According to the press pool traveling with Biden, the president lumped in Japan and India, two strong U.S. allies, with Russia and China, claiming that all four were xenophobic and that their opposition to incoming migrants negatively impacted them economically.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced multiple questions about Biden’s comments while traveling with the president to North Carolina on Thursday, and she claimed that Biden was trying to contrast those countries with the United States’s own acceptance of migrants.

“The broader case that he was trying to make,” Jean-Pierre told reporters, “when it comes to who we are as a nation, we are a nation of immigrants. That is in our DNA.”

Not many folks want the responsibility of re-homing a dog who you know will bite people.

It's one thing to re-home one because you can't get them to keep from chewing up your slippers or whatever to folks who don't wear slippers, but something else to do so after they bite you.

And a dog with a reputation for killing farm animals is always a liability.

City folks will see that differently, maybe.

The only way to save the country may be to CLOSE the environmental protection agency.
Just flat-out shut it down, repeal all the rules and regulations (ALL of them), and go back to where we were in, say, 1968.
