[AmThinker] I attended Michelle Obama’s final book release event this week in Los Angeles at sold-out YouTube Theater. Her celebrity interviewer was Oprah Winfrey. This evening was ostensibly produced to promote Michelle’s new book, The Light We Carry. In fact, it was just another “under the radar” 2024 presidential campaign event for Michelle.

Why would ANYONE think that living in the White House for 8 years is a qualification for becoming President? I mean, would you want to fly in an airplane piloted by the wife of a pilot? Or have surgery done by the wife of a surgeon?
Unless, of course, the wives are qualified pilots/surgeons in their own right. Big Mike is not qualified.

A hallmark of Big Mike has always been her vanity, a thoroughly phony sense of style and entitlement that has always been on display. She increasingly has projected a "regal" sense of public engagement, but my sense has always been that she isn't a hard producer, just a hard consumer. So until now that talk of her being willing to endure the indignities of political engagement seemed far-fetched. Even as sheltered and supported as she would be as a candidate, there would be some effort and tolerance required to become the Empress Puppet. So I was unconvinced. But the display of the braids, the high-end ethno-signature, suddenly after all these years, that vanity compromise is the signature that the deal has been struck.
[Breitbart] Tens of Thousands of Migrants in Mexico Heading to U.S. Border, Says CBP Source
A Border Patrol intelligence alert warns the situation along the southwest border is expected to worsen as tens of thousands of migrants prepare to move to the United States border from southern Mexico. According to a source within CBP, the report, sent via official email, advises Border Patrol agents that more than 40,000 migrants in southern Mexico may soon head north.
The report, reviewed by Breitbart Texas, indicates more than 30,000 migrants are believed to be staged in the Mexican State of Chiapas along the Mexico/Guatemala border. The destination of these migrants was not revealed in the alert according to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, not authorized to speak to the media.
According to the alert, migrants positioned in Chiapas are currently seeking travel documents from the government of Mexico that will allow them to begin the journey north and legally leave the Mexican border state. Absent the issuance of permits from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM), the migrants will have to travel through the country illegally, risking enforcement action from INM or Mexico’s National Guard.
The same report warns of an additional group of 10,000 to 15,000 migrants in the Mexican state of Oaxaca may already be on the move. More alarming is the information indicating the entire group may be headed directly to Juarez, Chihuahua, directly across from El Paso, Texas. where the agency is struggling to manage migrant crossings at their current level.
Currently, the Border Patrol in El Paso experienced elevated migrant crossings during recent weeks. The surge forced street releases in the downtown area and left hundreds of migrants queued along the banks of the Rio Grande in near-freezing temperatures. Overcrowding at facilities and shelters in the area kept the migrants outdoors waiting for Border Patrol agents to receive and process them as space becomes available.
In El Paso, 7,400 migrants crossed into the border town over the last weekend. An average of more than 2,400 daily migrant crossings in a three-day period has exacerbated overcrowding at Border Patrol processing facilities and non-government shelters forcing some migrants to be released directly onto the city streets.
A migrant crisis dashboard maintained by the city shows the average CBP daily migrant encounters dropped to 2,112 as of press time. The daily migrant releases into the city stand at nearly 1,400 per day. To alleviate the burden on the city, DHS resorted to increased contracted air transport to other border cities. As reported by Breitbart Texas, multiple flights conducted by ICE Air Operations branch moved migrants into Laredo in recent weeks.
A search of records for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Air Operations flights from El Paso to San Diego, California shows at least five trips occurred since Sunday. Multiple ICE Air Operations flights were routed from El Paso to Laredo and to Harlingen, Texas, throughout the week.
Contract carriers iAero Airways and World Atlantic Airlines, collectively conducted flights from El Paso using MD83 and Boeing 737 equipment. Each aircraft will carry at least 150 passengers.
According to the source, the additional surge of migrants will further complicate the agency’s ability to deal with an anticipated 16,000 to 18,000 migrants who will cross the border daily once the CDC Title 42 Emergency COVID-19 authority is lifted. The authority to quickly expel migrants from some countries amenable to the rule is set to expire on December 21.

Keeping the population in a constant state turmoil, upheaval, and relocation. Never allow anyone stabilize and build a future, a nest egg, own property or something to pass along. All earnings and property belong to the government.

[Wash Examiner] Kennedys are like herpes - they won't go away
President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to appoint former Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) as a special envoy to Northern Ireland for Economic Affairs amid upheaval in the region due to Brexit.
Kennedy, the grandson of former Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-MA), served in Congress from 2013 to 2021 as a rising progressive star until he lost his primary bid to oust Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA). The post, known as the U.S. special envoy to Northern Ireland, had been left empty after the exit of Mick Mulvaney following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
An announcement is expected in the coming days, per the Wall Street Journal. A number of politicos, such as Rep.-elect Mike Lawler (R-NY), had pushed the Biden administration to fill the vacated post because of the political tug-of-war over Northern Ireland caused by the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union.
"He will be very much focused on advancing US economic engagement and people-to-people ties," a Biden administration official told the news outlet.
Biden has opposed actions that would thwart the movement of labor and money between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which remains a member of the EU. The envoy role was first established by former President Bill Clinton and had been backed by the younger Kennedy's father, former Rep. Joe Kennedy II (D-MA).
In the late 1990s, the envoy helped broker the 1998 Good Friday peace deal that ended years of violence between factions keen on keeping Northern Ireland in the U.K. and others who wanted a separation.
The Kennedy patriarch, Joseph Kennedy Sr., the father of former President John F. Kennedy, briefly served as an ambassador to the U.K. under former President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
