The Republican Attorney General of Arizona invited Vice-President Kamala Harris to visit the Arizona border and observe firsthand the crisis at the state’s border. That invitation was issued last month. Since then, Kamala, the designated border czar, has not taken him up on the offer. Now the attorney general, Mark Brnovich, says it’s time to fire Kamala as border czar.
Brnovich rightly points out that Kamala finds time in her busy schedule to travel to other states, just not those on the Mexican border. She does travel to her home state of California but doesn’t bother to go to that state’s border either. Brnovich says it is insulting to Americans in border states to be ignored, especially during this crisis which is a historic level. The Biden administration is being tested and it is failing miserably.

MURRAY, Utah â Utah Governor Spencer Cox declares another State of Emergency to because of extreme drought conditions. This time, to continue helping victims get federal help.
Utahns can expect new water restrictions and strict enforcement.
â[The conditions] are actually pretty bad,â said Water Resources Drought Coordinator Laura Haskell.
Only 81 percent of normal snowfall, coupled with historically dry soil, means even less snowmelt makes it to our rivers.
Water Resources Drought coordinator Laura Haskell says now is the time to take action so we have enough water left this summer. More than 90 percent of Utah is classified as being in an extreme drought.
More Republican-led states end increased unemployment benefits as President Biden says people must take suitable work By Sarah Ewall-Wice Biden touts economic relief efforts
A growing number of Republican-led states are rejecting increased unemployment benefits meant to help Americans during the coronavirus pandemic, a move they say will help business owners who can t find staff. But President Joe Biden said Monday that the enhanced federal benefits aren t why people aren t going back to work. The line has been because of the generous unemployment benefits, that it s a major factor in labor shortages. Americans want to work. Americans want to work. Biden said at the White House on Monday. I think the people claiming Americans won t work even if they find a good and fair opportunity underestimate the American people.

President Joe Biden held a Zoom call with a group of governors yesterday, ostensibly to discuss what can be done to combat vaccine hesitancy and announce some new initiatives along those lines. This was basically a photo op without the photos because he collected a bipartisan group of six governors, three Democrats, and three Republicans. I assume this was supposed to be a feel-good, “we’re all in this together” moment. One of the only “new” proposals being rolled out actually isn’t a bad idea, though it’s not exactly new. Uncle Joe said that ride-sharing outlets Uber and Lyft will be giving free rides to anyone going to and from a vaccination pod, making it even easier for people to get a jab. As I said, it’s a nice idea, but Uber announced back in December that they were pledging ten million free rides to people with appointments to be vaccinated. In early February they signed a partnership with Walgreens for free rides to anyone going
