It is the final week of the election and both campaigns are making their closing arguments to voters. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance seem focused on promising what they will do for America -- to huge crowds and audiences -- while the closing message for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz seems to be, 'RACISTS! ABORTION! NAZIS! HITLER! RREEEEE!'
OK, I may have exaggerated somewhat on that last point ... but not by very much.
While there are so many reasons for voters to check a box for Trump instead of Harris on November 5, today on Twitter, I saw a chart that should be instantly disqualifying for Harris to get anywhere near the presidency. This came from a favorite Twitchy account, The Rabbit Hole, and the chart he posted simply speaks for itself.

No commentary needed (but I will provide some anyway, LOL).
That's game, set, and match. At least it should be.
I am not interested in anyone debating Harris's role in the Biden administration when it comes to the border.
People can shout, 'BUT, BUT, BUT ... ROOT CAUSES!' all they want. It's nonsense. Harris WAS the Border Czar.
The fact that her campaign and her media lackeys have been trying to deny it ever since she was installed means nothing. We have -- and have shown -- the receipts.
This chart is disgraceful, unconscionable, and utterly disqualifying.
And it's even more so when you consider that this was ALL intentional by the Biden-Harris-Mayorkas administration.

'Whoa' is right, Elon. And this is just the number of 'known or suspected encounters.' You can bet your retirement that the actual number of terrorists who have crossed the border is much larger.
They have intentionally put Americans in danger for four years so they could maintain power by importing illegal votes.
Who cares if some terrorists come in as part of the bargain? After all, if there is a terrorist attack, they'll just use that to ensconce even more power for themselves.
Speaking personally, for me, it is not only disqualifying, but it is borderline treasonous. And THAT border is even thinner than the one we currently have to our south.
The Biden-Harris administration has betrayed the American people. It is the job of the federal government to protect its citizens. https://t.co/kQqbKliNPP

As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that protecting citizens is Job Number One.
And they didn't just fail to do it, they knowingly ignored it.

Exactly.
In her abysmal and brief run for President in 2019-2020, Harris actually campaigned on this. Why would anyone believe that she has changed her stripes now? In her own words, her 'values have not changed.'

When it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, we're pretty sure ... it's an open-border communist who does not care about American sovereignty or the safety of Americans.

I know that there are a host of issues to vote on in this election: the economy, taxes, getting men out of women's spaces, and letting the American people (not the federal government) decide on abortion are just a few.
In my opinion, these issues all favor Trump.
But fundamentally, the primary power -- and responsibility -- of the President is national security. There is a reason that Article II of the Constitution lists Commander in Chief first among the President's enumerated powers.
(There is also a reason the Constitution severely limits those enumerated powers of the President, but that is a subject for another time.)
When Donald Trump was President, America's national security, abroad and at home, was far stronger. This is not my opinion. You just have to look at the numbers above from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. It's a simple fact.
By contrast, during Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris's term in the executive branch, our national security has become a dumpster fire. And they did it on purpose.
As Americans go to the polls now and through next Tuesday, I can think of no indictment of their administration more damning.
And there is no stronger, more compelling reason why America must reject four more years of her betrayal of the oath of office that she swore to uphold.
