Many Americans are scratching their heads at the border invasion, asking “why isn’t something being done?” Well, I’m not scratching my head or asking this question dear reader, because I’m 99% certain I know why.

The answer may seem complicated, but we can simplify it with a 90’s movie, Disney’s The Lion King.

If you haven’t’ seen it, I recommend you stop reading and take a gander, because there are spoilers ahead. For the rest of you, let’s continue!

You’ll remember that Scar was an illegitimate King. He murdered his brother, tried to kill his nephew, and usurped the throne. Scar was also ill-suited for the throne; even he knew this. He knew that he would be questioned and that his kingship would be hated by the native lions. So, he devised a plan to demoralize this population and keep them under his paw.

Enter the hyenas.

Now hyenas are naturally scavengers. They don’t hunt for themselves but feed off other animals’ labor. Not to say that hyenas don’t have their place…their place is just not among lions as we soon learn.

While most of the movie focuses on Simba’s plight, the end gives us a glimpse at what a dumpster fire Scar’s reign has been. The pride lands are dark and destroyed. The grass and animals are gone. Death is everywhere. The hyenas complain they are hungry, to which Scar replies “it’s the lioness’ job to do the hunting."

This means that for many years, those poor lionesses had been expected not only to provide for their young and the male lions, but an army of imports. Those lionesses were taxed to the max, and as a result the land got overharvested to the point where it no longer provided. Can you imagine the exhaustion, stress, and frustration those poor lionesses endured through the years?

If you’ve paid your taxes or been to the grocery store lately, I’m sure that you can.

When Scar demands to know why the hunters are returning empty handed, the lead female Sarabi approaches Scar’s throne. The hyenas nip at her heels as she tells Scar: “There is no food.”

Truly I see myself in Sarabi and the other lionesses worked to the brink. I heard somewhere that 1 in 4 Americans now struggles with food insecurity. Could it be because of Joe Biden’s imported Army? One whose purpose is to demoralize Americans and distract the population from this president’s gross incompetence?

Perhaps and perhaps not. All I’m saying is that we have crime and its consequences chauffeured in at the border by a man who-when not babbling incoherently or shaking hands with the air-is perfecting the fine art of the faceplant on Airforce One.

I’ve been wrong about things before, and it’s possible I’m wrong about this. But if Joe Biden is a legitimate leader, I'd be surprised. After all, he isn't acting like one.
