The liberal news outlet Axios got caught red-handed today, trying to whitewash their own reporting on Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s ‘border czar’ but they are far from alone.
The entire liberal media establishment is furiously scrubbing their own reportage on this issue to hide the truth from the American people.
The reason they’re doing this is so obvious. The border and illegal immigration has become a top issue for voters, so it’s a vulnerability for Harris.
NewsBusters has done an outstanding job of calling out the media on this:
In June of 2021, CNN senior national correspondent Ed Lavandera repeated the framing of Harris as border czar: “The Vice President is expected to in El Paso in about an hour and a half… and this will be her first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border region since she was appointed as the border czar by President Biden.”
Journalists were using this same language as recently as last week. During the ABC News Live coverage of the RNC, anchor Kanya Whitworth remarked that the speakers “were very critical of Kamala Harris, especially in her role as border czar.”
Politico’s whining about the border czar label dates back to when Harris was appointed border czar. In fresher gripes about Republicans from over the weekend, they reported: “Despite insisting that she not be made the face of the administration’s border policies, Harris was tasked with stemming migration from Central American countries. That prompted GOP attacks on her as ‘border czar,’ a narrative the White House did little to combat.” Along with: “During the Republican convention last week, many speakers labeled Harris as the “border czar,” since Biden appointed her to take the lead on working with Central America to deter migration at the southern border.”
Watch this video of the before and after, it’s amazing:
The media cannot hide this. They will try, but it won’t work.

Local cops refusing to share info with FBI as agency suffers ‘crisis of confidence’ with DEI hires, damning whistleblower report reveals
As FBI Director Chris Wray performed his usual smarmy stonewalling in Congress Wednesday, a damning report on his $10 billion agency’s “cult of narcissism” was delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by an alliance of retired and active-duty agents and analysts.
The same group gave us the scathing DEI report last year about the FBI’s degraded recruitment standards and coddling of physically unfit, mentally ill, drug-taking or generally useless agents to satisfy diversity requirements at the expense of merit and experience.
This time they have assessed the entire bureau and drawn several worrying conclusions, including that local law enforcement partners have developed a “disturbing loss of trust in the FBI” and are therefore reluctant to share information, with alarming consequences for national security and public safety.
“Police officers and sheriff’s deputies on patrol and detectives investigating illegal activity in their jurisdictions have unparalleled visibility into street-level crime. … When this information is not immediately shared with the FBI, the FBI is left to address complex, evolving threats facing the United States with an unacceptably vast and debilitating ‘blind spot’ because [it] does not have enough personnel and resources to see into every corner of the country.”
Loss of trust
While Wray testified that the FBI is facing a “complex threat environment” that is unprecedented in his experience, the loss of trust in the bureau on his watch only exacerbates the risks, which include terrorist suspects flooding over the southern border.
Republican members of Congress questioning Wray reflected a widespread distrust of the FBI’s investigation of the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
The whistleblower report draws on testimony from more than 30 “independent, highly credible law enforcement sources and sub-sources” across the country who “do not trust the FBI because they believe the FBI in recent years has been operating as a partisan federal agency motivated by a political agenda.
“They are not only reluctant to work with the FBI but reportedly have decided to no longer share actionable, substantive information on criminal and other intelligence-related activity with the FBI.”
Most concerning is what the alliance of whistleblowers calls a “crisis of confidence” in FBI-led task forces where relationships with local cops have deteriorated to the point of “imploding” in some cases because of “poor management and ineffective leadership by the FBI.”
Local cops said their precipitous loss of trust in the FBI was triggered by its excessive response to the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, followed by the raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
One source, a 25-year veteran sergeant in the Major Crimes Division of a large police force in a Western state, said they “cannot understand why the FBI is not going after [far-left militant group] Antifa, BLM and pro-Palestinian rioters with the same vigor the FBI brought to bear against” J6 participants.
Another source, a 15-year veteran cop from a Southern state, said many local law enforcement officers “believe they could be targeted by the FBI and the DOJ because of their love for the United States of America and may be perceived as domestic terrorists because of how they may vote.”
Plummeting morale
The pressure placed on local law enforcement to assist with J6 cases in their areas “has impacted morale within these agencies” and led to a belief that the FBI has been contaminated by a “partisan, political agenda.”
Sources believe that “FBI leadership would exploit any information provided to them to violate the law and the constitutional rights of suspects who are under investigation, as well as innocent citizens.”
One said the FBI’s behavior was “that of a Third World country [and the bureau] should be dismantled and its personnel prosecuted and given long prison sentences.”
The head of a multiagency task force said the newer FBI agents on the team “do not bother to conceal their distaste for disfavored political and religious views … Newer FBI special agents identify themselves as ‘woke or liberal’ and are often openly critical of Conservative or Christian values.”
Another source described FBI personnel generally as “almost always … arrogant, aloof and condescending [with] little, if any, tactical skills to support themselves or the safety of their team while out on the streets.”
The picture that emerges of the FBI is of an incompetent, arrogant, bloated bureaucracy that includes a new generation of DEI hires described as “completely worthless” and “the worst batch of people.”
The report’s final damning indictment is reserved for the FBI Academy for New Agent Training in Quantico, Va., which “promotes a cult of narcissism by imbuing a false sense of superiority over all local, state and federal law enforcement.”
Taxpayer resources have been lavished on a new “wellness center” for yoga and meditation at the academy instead of teaching trainee agents the value of “humility and a higher sense of service and professionalism” when working with local law enforcement.
The FBI Academy has become so politicized that at one point, a group of conservative students held up handwritten signs displaying the word “STOP” in response to the instructor’s constant political denigration of Trump and Republicans.
The report also backs up whistleblower documents obtained earlier this month by Empower Oversight that revealed that the FBI’s Security Division has been abusing the security clearance process to purge conservatives from its ranks.
The FBI has suspended or revoked clearances for employees who expressed support for Trump or objections to the COVID-19 vaccination in answer to a series of improper and intrusive questions.
Intrusive questions
Wray testified Wednesday that the intrusive questions were simply a one-off by an outside contractor who has been terminated.
But FBI whistleblower Steve Friend and others immediately disputed his claim, pointing out that these sorts of inappropriate questions were routine and “asked all the time in interviews.”
Wray also claimed the FBI was not lowering its standards for new employees, which flies in the face of the group’s revelations about the effect of disastrous DEI recruitment policies.
Ultimately the whistleblower group says the only way to restore the FBI’s reputation and repair the damage is to force the resignation of Wray as “an extreme measure of last resort.
“… At stake are no less than the public’s safety and America’s national security.”
Judging by the sycophantic questioning of Wray by Democrats, we will have to wait for a Republican administration to clean house.

‘Hid From The American People’: Doocy Asks KJP Point-Blank To Reveal Who Covered Up Biden’s Mental Fitness
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday to reveal who covered up President Joe Biden’s cognitive health from the public.
Jean-Pierre accused Doocy of loving the narrative that the White House covered up Biden’s mental decline before his notably disastrous performance at the June 27 debate, which ultimately led to the president’s decision to drop out. The press secretary denied there had been any coverup by staffers to hide the president’s condition, insisting he independently made the “selfless” decision to leave the race.
“It would seem that people in this White House knew that President Biden was slipping and it was hidden from the American people,” Doocy began. “So who ordered White House officials to cover up a declining president?”
“I know that is a narrative that you love,” Jean-Pierre said, followed by an interjection from Doocy. “Okay, you’re asking me two multiple questions here. Wait, wait. First of all, there’s been no cover up. I want to be very clear about that. I know that’s the narrative that you all want.”
Doocy then asked Jean-Pierre to “admit” Biden’s debate performance was “not just a bad night.” The press secretary repeated there was no coverup, and added the president made a “selfless” and “admirable” decision by dropping out of the race on Sunday.
“And what I will say is that, it is not easy making a decision that the president made on Sunday. It is just not,” Jean-Pierre continued. “It is not. And as you’ve all reported, it is historic. It is unusual, this is not the norm. And making a decision like that for someone who’s been in public service for 54 years, U.S. senator for 36, vice president to President Obama for 8 and now a first time president himself. These are not easy decisions to make, they’re just not. So the fact that he was able to make that decision in a selfless way, that’s admirable.”
Thirty-six Democrats urged Biden to exit the race after the debate, among them being California Rep. Adam Schiff, Montana Sen. Jon Tester, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton and New York Rep. Pat Ryan.
Before the debate, legacy media outlets and Democrats downplayed signs of Biden’s declining mental health by accusing Republicans, and in some cases even Russia, of pushing a narrative regarding concerns of his cognitive abilities. Jean-Pierre labeled many video clips of Biden appearing to be confused or stumble on his words as “cheap fakes” orchestrated by Republicans during a July 23 briefing.
The press secretary further said any concerns that Biden cannot finish the remainder of his term in office is “ridiculous” during a Tuesday appearance on “The View.”
Doocy then asked whether Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, wants to abolish Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) and mentioned how she had never spoken to former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz while appointed to address root causes at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“What should that tell us about her leadership style?” Doocy asked.
“She was supposed to be doing root causes dealing with diplomacy. Diplomacy. That’s what her job was supposed to be. Diplomatic. That’s the job,” Jean-Pierre said.
Experts warned the Daily Caller News Foundation on Monday that the border crisis could reach new heights if Harris is elected in November. NumbersUSA, which publishes report cards on members of Congress, gave Harris an F- rating on immigration.
