CRISIS BY DESIGN: Texas rancher on border crisis: It’s time to ‘let people see what it’s really like down here.’

Some members of the media have called out the administration for denying them access to what many believe to be a crisis of its own making.

Migrants have entered his family’s property at least 20 times within the year, Saunders said, adding, “We got a real problem down here.”

The rancher, who owns a property near Laredo, noted migrants sometimes use cars to race to the border and have damaged his fence.

“It really adds up,” he told host John Roberts, noting repairs can cost up to $6,000.

“We have a property on the highway not far from the river and when [migrants are] getting chased by law enforcement, usually human smugglers, they just turn off the highway at full speed, mind you, and just go straight through the fence … [and] go ’til they can’t go anymore, then they bail out and they are running across the property,” Saunders said.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Harris Takes Over Border Mess as Biden Carries Out Perfect Bloodless Coup Against Himself. “There is a palpable sense that even those who are enjoying controlling the government through him know that this gig has an extremely limited shelf life. They seem to be resigned to the fact that they’ll be exhausted by trying to keep up the pretense that Ol’ Gropes is in charge of anything. They may as well get people used to seeing Harris hold the reins. Poor Joe probably doesn’t even know that he just participated in a coup to replace him.”

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Pro tip: If you’re planning on using the military against your opposition, you don’t treat the military the way the Democrats have been treating the military. So I guess that’s a good sign? Of course, even having to notice stuff like that means we’re approaching Banana Republic territory.

BE KIND, REWIND: Murder rate jumps back to 1990s levels, data show.

“We’ve never seen an increase like that. Previously the biggest one-year increase in murder was a 12.5% increase in the 1960s,” statistician and crime analyst Jeff Asher told the Washington Examiner. “We’re really talking about unprecedented increases in murder.”

Asher concluded, using the FBI data, that the murder rate for 2020 sat at roughly 6.22 per 100,000 people. Not since 1998 has the country seen a murder rate that high.

In 2019, the murder rate was an even 5 per 100,000 people, a slight dip from 5.1 in 2018.
