John Kerry Admits ‘Trump Was Right’
on Strong Borders

Original Article

Posted By: franco, 7/10/2025 9:56:46 PM

Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has admitted that President Donald J. Trump was correct on border and immigration issues, stating, “Trump was right,” during an interview. He criticized Democrats for failing to address border security adequately, admitting the U.S.-Mexico border was “under siege” during Joe Biden’s presidency. Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, remarked, “The first thing any President should say—or anybody in public life—is without a border protected, you don’t have a nation.” He added, “I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I’m going to enforce the law.”

Comments:

Kerry was not for strong borders before he was for strong borders. He's consistently inconsistent.

So what would Kerry’s fix be for the current out of control mass illegal alien situation along with the about ten million illegal aliens allowed to unlawfully get into the USA by the leftist progressive and socialist Democrats who were actually running the Biden White House? Chances are to grant the illegal alien population in the USA a Democrat designed “comprehensive immigration reform amnesty” that would put them all on “a path to citizenship” that would transform them into many millions of future Democrat Supporters and voters in the years ahead, thus supercharging the next and bigger wave of illegal aliens who the next Democrat Administration would allow to gain entry to the USA in the future.

From the article: He added, “I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, I’m going to enforce the law.” It would have been much easier to hear him say those words if he had ever SAID them. Another way for people to hear: Actions speak louder than words. The HairSniffer's statement, through his actions, was: "Come On In, The Border Is OPEN! Mayorkas saying "The border is secure" was a blatant lie. Isn't lying to Congress a crime? Where is the prosecution?

Regarding Post 2. In April, reporter Julio Rosas followed Mayorkas as he walked through Reagan National Airport. Rosas introduced himself and then asked Mayorkas many questions such as: "Do you have any regret facilitating open borders, sir?" “Do you have regret about losing track of all of those thousands of migrant children?" “Sir, Tren de Aragua didn't have a foothold in the United States before you guys came into office. It's a pretty big issue, right?" Mayorkas did not respond. He “remained silent and stony-faced as he tried to walk away.” Mayorkas deserves a daily dose of confrontations like this.

I wonder if this is an attempt by the old dinosaurs to evict the new dinosaurs from the swamp. Obama's "prestige" in the party has dropped considerably. Those he pushed aside are probably happy to do the same to his followers. Not that they actually care about the state of the country, but they know which way public opinion is blowing. This is an issue with which the old dinos can slam the new dinos.

“India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits,” U.S. President Donald Trump posted last week on Truth Social. “They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA.” These words directly implicate buyers of Russian oil as accomplices in the murder of tens of thousands of Ukrainian people in the war started by the Kremlin on 24 February 2022, as indeed they have been.

Beijing is quietly discouraging Chinese firms, particularly those tied to state and/or national security interests, from using Nvidia's H20 AI chips, even after the Trump administration reversed a U.S. sales ban in exchange for 15% of related revenue. The move follows Beijing's concerns over a potential "backdoor" in the H20, an allegation Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has rejected. The report comes from the Financial Times, which states that regulators at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) instructed tech companies, such as Alibaba and ByteDance, to explain why they need H20 chips instead of sourcing domestic alternatives.

From January 2017 onward, his activities become dramatically darker, arguably illegal, and more forward-looking. On January 5, 2017, a bit more than two weeks before Inauguration, Obama met with Biden, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice, and Assistant Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Comey did not disclose this meeting to Congress when asked about how many times he met with Obama. "Twice," he said, under oath. It was actually three times.

A city-run grocery store in Kansas City that was propped up by more than $18 million taxpayer dollars has closed. Sun Fresh Market opened in 2018 in the city-owned Linwood Shopping Center. Part of a Community Improvement District, the shopping center received a multi-million-dollar renovation budget about a decade ago as part of the city’s sprawling revitalization efforts on the east side. But after months of bare shelves, severe crime problems that Kansas City has spent additional money to curb, and what one reporter described as a “rancid odor” connected to improper drain maintenance, Sun Fresh has shut its doors.

In a 1954 movie about the Dutch resistance during World War II, its fighters took pride in their leader’s courage as he taunted the Germans during nighttime attacks. Brazenly wearing an easily visible white scarf, he was fearless in challenging the enemy to shoot at him. But it was only after the resistance had suffered numerous mission setbacks that a terrible reality came to light. Their leader, known as “The Scarf”, wore the garment, not to antagonize the enemy but to let them know where exactly he was on the battlefield so that, as a German collaborator, he would not be shot by them.
