SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: 

THE MISSING ONE – FROM FOX:   Several top members of the Biden administration were in Mexico City on Friday for a meeting with Mexican officials regarding security along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Vice President Kamala Harris wasn't among them.  Harris, whom President Biden appointed in March to manage the U.S. response to the migrant crisis along the border, went to New Jersey instead.  Attending Friday's high-level talks in Mexico's capital were Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland.  Ken Salazar, a former U.S. senator from Colorado who now serves as the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, also attended.  "Today's High-Level Security Dialogue marks an important new phase in the US-Mexico security partnership," Mayorkas tweeted Friday. "We will work together under a new framework to guide our joint efforts, and work toward our shared goals of security and prosperity for our two nations."  Harris, meanwhile, traveled to the Garden State, visiting a daycare center at Montclair State University in Little Falls and a vaccination site at Essex County Community College in Newark to promote the Biden administration’s agenda.  The vice president last visited the border in June, spending several hours in El Paso, Texas, while on her way to her home in California. It’s the only time she’s been to the border since taking office.  Harris is a disgrace.  Not to attend that important conference demonstrates either massive incompetence or a desire to show disrespect for the entire border issue.  I suspect it's the latter.  Remember, the far left, which Harris must appease in order to survive, believes that the real border crisis is that we're admitting too few illegals.  Their goal is open borders.  Kammie will wink at them appropriately.
