Kim Jong-un Claims North Korean Satellite Is Spying on White House - THE UNITED STATES CLAIMS LARD FACE KIM JONG-UN GETS FREE LIPO IF HE CLEARS AMERICAN AIR WAYS

 

Kim Jong-un Claims North Korean Satellite Is Spying on White House

The communist propaganda outlet of North Korea claimed on Tuesday that an alleged surveillance satellite launched on November 21 had already taken photos of several sensitive American military sites and the White House.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), the flagship media network of the communist North Korean regime, reported that dictator Kim Jong-un spent much of his day on Tuesday perusing a report on the “Malligyong-1” surveillance satellite, whose launch prompted stern condemnations from South Korea, America, and the United Nations. The satellite reportedly took photos of several sites in the United States and abroad.

“The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un saw the satellite photos of Rome of Italy taken at 17:56:28 on Nov. 25 (Pyongyang Time) and Anderson Air Force Base taken above Guam in the Pacific at 09:17:07 on Nov. 27 (Pyongyang Time) and pilot satellite images of other regions,” KCNA claimed.

In the U.S. mainland, Kim reportedly saw photos “in detail” of “the Norfolk Naval Station, the Newport News Dockyard and an airfield of Virginia, U.S., taken at 23:35:53 on Nov. 27 and the White House and the Pentagon of Washington and other objects at 23:36:25 on Nov. 27.” In an apparent attempt to verify that the photos exist, KCNA claimed that “four U.S. Navy nuclear carriers and one British aircraft carrier” were in the photos.

Kim expressed “great satisfaction” with the project, the propaganda network claimed.

North Korea notably did not publish any of the images and made dubious claims surrounding the functionality of the spy satellite almost immediately after South Korean officials confirmed its launch. Pyongyang claimed that it had photos of American military facilities in Guam less than 24 hours after the rocket carrying the satellite launched, a declaration South Korean officials dismissed as an “exaggeration.”

Kim Jong-un, according to North Korean state media, declared shortly after the launch that he had plans for “many more reconnaissances satellites” to “closely monitor and grasp the nature … of the U.S. imperialists.”

“The launch of reconnaissance satellite is a legitimate right of the DPRK [North Korea] for strengthening its self-defensive capabilities and it will make a significant contribution to definitely ramping up the war preparedness of the armed forces,” KCNA said at the time, “in conformity with the security environment created in and around the country owing to the enemies’ dangerous military moves.”

The “Malligyong-1” has caused significant consternation in South Korea and among American and U.N. officials, as reconnaissance satellites of this kind are sanctioned under U.N. law. The potential involvement of the Russian government has also prompted irritation and alarm, as North Korea had attempted two prior launches of the satellite with no success, but launched the Malligyong-1 after Kim personally visited one of Russia’s top space launch facilities, the Vostochny Cosmodrome, in September. The stop was part of a tour of western Russia that included an in-person meeting with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and was the longest Kim had been outside of North Korea since taking over for late father Kim Jong-il in 2011.

“The leader of the DPRK [North Korea] shows great interest in rocket engineering. They are also trying to develop space,” Putin said at the time.

Neither North Korea nor Russia has given any indication of direct Russian involvement in the launch of the satellite, but Seoul officials have not disguised their suspicions.

“In the first and second attempt, (the rocket) crashed due to engine issues, but the engine was successful this time,” South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-sik told the country’s KBS radio station last week. “Putin’s offer to help appears to not have been empty words.”

A U.N. Security Council meeting on Monday turned tense as North Korea chose to send a representative to defend the launch of the satellite, leading to intense exchanges between the Pyongyang representative and America’s envoy.

“The DPRK is unabashedly trying to advance its nuclear weapons delivery systems by testing ballistic missile technology in clear violation of this council’s resolutions. This reckless unlawful behavior threatens all of the DPRK’s neighbors and all member states,” American Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said. The spy satellite technology can be used to similarly develop ballistic missiles and thus falls under U.N. weapons sanctions.

The North Korean envoy, Kim Song, insisted that his country had the “legitimate right” to launch satellites, and that it had done so in the context of being at war with the United States.

“The relation between the DPRK [North Korea] and the United States is not merely a relation between unfriendly countries,” Kim said, according to the Korea JoongAng Daily. “[They are relations] between belligerent [countries] which are at war in status, technically, legally, practically for seven decades.”

North and South Korea – and their respective allies, China and America – have technically been locked in a formal state of war since 1950. The active hostilities of the Korean War ended in 1953 with an armistice agreement, but neither side surrendered or signed a peace treaty, so the war remains technically active.

Thomas-Greenfield dismissed the need for North Korea to protect itself from a preemptive American bombing as “paranoia.”

Democrats Force Historic Vote to Expel George Santos, Set Up Thursday Showdown - BUT NOT THE MOST CORRUPT AND MOST LYING PRESIDENT IN U.S. HISTORY JOE BIDEN!

Democrats Force Historic Vote to Expel George Santos, Set Up Thursday Showdown

The House must vote by Thursday to expel Rep. George Santos (R-NY) after Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) filed a privileged resolution Tuesday to boot the embattled Republican.

Garcia’s resolution is privileged, giving the House two legislative days to vote on the consequential resolution.

The historic expulsion vote comes weeks after a brutal report from the House Ethics Committee on its investigations into Santos but before the colorful New Yorker has had the opportunity to address his charges in court.

“It’s time for truth and justice to be restored to the U.S. House of Representatives,” said Garcia. “I’ve joined forces with Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to force another expulsion vote against George Santos.”

Goldman is best known for serving as the lead Democrat attorney in the first quest to impeach Trump, an impeachment widely believed by Republicans to be politically motivated.

In a Twitter/X Space over the Thanksgiving break, Santos acknowledged his almost certain expulsion. Days earlier, Rep. Michael Guest (R-MS), chairman of the ethics committee, introduced a resolution to expel Santos.

“The evidence uncovered in the Ethics Committee’s Investigative Subcommittee investigation is more than sufficient to warrant punishment, and the most appropriate punishment is expulsion,” Guest said.

Guest’s resolution was not privileged. Santos had chastised Guest to force a vote on the resolution, calling for him to “be a man and stop being a p****.”

Garcia’s actions Tuesday mean Guest will no longer need to act.

The ethics committee report included evidence Santos knowingly filed false reports with the Federal Election Commission, used campaign funds for personal purposes including subscriptions to OnlyFans and botox treatments, and willfully violated ethics laws as it relates to his Financial Disclosure (FD) Statements filed with the House.

Yet recent House precedent allows for members charged with crimes to defend themselves in a court of law.

Rep. Jim Traficant (D-NY) was the most recent member of the House to be expelled, occurring over two decades ago.

Traficant was ultimately convicted of ten felonies including bribery, racketeering, and tax evasion. But the House did not take action until his conviction.

The convicted Congressman kept his seat, but he did not vote on the House floor until the ethics committee completed an investigation, ultimately recommending expulsion.

The House only expelled Traficant after his convictions and a lengthy subsequent investigation by the ethics committee.

In Santos’s case, the ethics committee chose not to make a recommendation, citing the need to move expediently to publish its findings.

Despite no official recommendation, the chairman of the committee, Guest, filed a resolution in his capacity as a Congressman to expel Santos, making clear he was not doing so in his role as chairman but sending a clear message nonetheless.

For Santos, Guest’s affected niceties and conventions matter little.

Before Traficant, the most recent expulsion from the House was in 1980, years before Santos was born.

Rep. Michael Myers (D-PA) was expelled by his colleagues after being videotaped taking a bribe from undercover FBI agents in the infamous ABSCAM scandal dramatized in the 2013 film American Hustle.

Caught red-handed, Myers had little defense.

For Santos, it must appear he has no allies left. The far-left group MoveOn flew a Santos-caricatured balloon in front of the Capitol Tuesday, urging members to expel the congressman.

Santos should know by Thursday how many colleagues will buck Democrats and his fellow Republicans like Guest.

The expulsion requires a two-thirds vote.

MOST CORRUPT VII: Joe Biden - Part I - Forgotten History

“Attorney General Eric Holder's tenure was a low point even within the disgraceful scandal-ridden Obama years.” 

                DANIEL GREENFIELD / FRONTPAGE MAG

 

Eric, Merrick, and Jeff

By Eddie Willers

In 2013, when asked when he might step down as attorney general, Eric Holder said: "I’m still enjoying what I’m doing, there’s still work to be done. I’m still the President’s wingman, so I’m there with my boy. So we’ll see."

What could he have meant? It didn’t take long after President Obama took office to find out. Holder stayed in to commit more legal mischief. And that established the roots of the legal shambles we see today, with Attorney General Merrick Garland violating President Trump's -- and our -- civil rights.

The pattern of lawlessness started with Holder.

In May 2009, the DOJ dropped prosecution of several New Black Panther members for violating the Voting Rights Act on election day in 2008. When testifying before Congress to explain this decision, Holder claimed his hands were clean and that the decision was made by career Justice Department prosecutors. But that wasn’t true. According to J. Christian Adams, a real career DOJ attorney, the decision not to prosecute was made by Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli, an Obama political appointee, “who overruled a unanimous recommendation for prosecution by Adams and his associates.”

Backed by a videotape of the New Black Panthers intimidating voters, there couldn’t have been a more clear cut case of a Voting Rights Act violation. So why drop the case? An attorney familiar with the Obama Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division observed that Department staff openly and proudly advocate for a different standard” depending on the race of the alleged civil rights violator.

Another Obama priority was gun control. To that end, the Fast and Furious scheme was hatched in October 2009 by the ATF, a Justice Department agency. The ATF, however, somehow lost track of almost 2,000 Fast and Furious gun sales, one of which was linked to the murder of Brian Terry, a Border Patrol Agent. Fast and Furious turned out to be an embarrassment for Obama and of questionable legality. So Holder led an effort to stymy investigation of the scheme by ignoring Congressional subpoenas for emails and other documents, which ultimately earned him a contempt of Congress citation. Holder then advanced the cover-up by claiming executive privilege as the reason for withholding additional documents. It was only years later, when documents were produced by court order, that the true purpose of Fast and Furious was revealed: to gin up a crisis requiring a crackdown on guns in America.

Then there came a time when the press was making life difficult for Obama. And Holder was determined not to let the First Amendment get in the way. So, in 2009 the DOJ ignored Fox News reporter James Rosen’s constitutional rights when it suspected him of being the source of classified leaks about North Korea. The New York Times editorial board wrote: "With the decision to label a Fox News television reporter a possible 'co-conspirator' in a criminal investigation of a news leak, the Obama administration has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news.”

Similarly, in May 2012 the DOJ secretly obtained phone records of Associated Press reporters and editors after the AP published a story about a foiled terror plot: "Obtaining a broad range of telephone records in order to ferret out a government leaker is an unacceptable abuse of power," said Ben Wizner, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project. "Freedom of the press is a pillar of our democracy, and that freedom often depends on confidential communications between reporters and their sources.”

Holder proved to be an accomplished wingman, and it remained to be seen if Merrick Garland would follow suit. On his first day on the job, Garland offered a ray of hope when he said: “All of us are united by our commitment to the rule of law, and to seek an equal justice under law.”

But Garland’s pledge didn’t last long. On Sept. 29, 2021, the National School Board Association sent a letter to President Biden warning of threats of violence made by parents to school officials. Within days the White House passed the letter to the DOJ, whereupon Garland galvanized into action and released a memo directing the FBI to address threats made by parents to school boards. All this fit neatly in Biden’s worldview that the greatest threat the country faced was from white MAGA supremacists. But upon reflection, and in response to the outrage voiced by parents, the National School Board Association disavowed its letter. Garland, however, stubbornly refused to retract his memo.

Garland also wasn’t shy about using the long arm of the FBI when it aided Biden’s agenda. On August 8, 2022 he approved a raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home by some 30 FBI agents. No former president had ever been subjected to a similar SWAT-like raid. As for the national security documents which supposedly prompted the raid, National Archive officials testified that every administration had mishandled such documents.

So why the jackboot tactics? The raid was the prelude to the filing of 40 federal counts against Trump related to classified documents. Plus the timing of the raid ensured that charges would be filed during the 2024 election cycle and, if things worked out, Trump would be defending himself in federal court before the 2024 election. Such was Garland’s commitment to equal justice.

Although facing Trump in an election rematch may have concerned Biden, the investigation of his wayward son was more of a concern. Although there was an inherent conflict of interest with the Biden DOJ investigating his own son, Garland wasn’t going to let the appearance of a conflict get in the way. Garland assured the nation that there was no need to question the integrity of the investigation, and that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss had full authority to run it. In addition, Garland assured us that he wouldn’t interfere with the investigation. Yet, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified that Weiss confessed that “he was not the deciding person on whether charges are filed.”

When the Hunter Biden imbroglio blew up after U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika shot down the sweetheart deal proffered by Weiss, Garland had an epiphany and declared that a special counsel was needed after all. And the perfect person to be special counsel was none other than U.S. Attorney Weiss, the same U.S. attorney who had already determined that Hunter didn’t need to serve any time for his transgressions. Garland explained his special counsel decision with this “persuasive” argument: “his [Weiss's] investigation has reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a special counsel.”

Turning to Trump, we dont know if he expected Jeff Sessions to be a wingman. He probably thought he was getting a loyal and experienced attorney general. After all, Sessions had served as assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, and then as U.S. attorney for the same district. Sessions subsequently was elected attorney general of Alabama and then won a U.S. Senate seat. Plus, with the debt Trump owed Sessions for being the first sitting senator to endorse him for president, naming Sessions as U.S. attorney general was a no brainer. However, it may go down as one of the worst cabinet appointments ever made.

In fairness, Sessions faced a major challenge when he assumed office. The Russia collusion hoax had already reached a tipping point which threatened the Trump presidency. Moreover, the disgraced ex-FBI director, James Comey, was enthusiastically directing the investigation, and was stringing Trump along with the lie that he wasn’t being investigated.

Trump would have relied on his attorney general to protect him. To his disappointment, Sessions recused himself from the Russia collusion investigation based on the thin evidence of a few innocent meetings with Russia Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the 2016 campaign. These meetings consisted only of "a discussion among a small group of ambassadors during the Republican National Convention and another brief encounter with a group of ambassadors after a public event." But it was enough for Sessions to decide that he should recuse himself. In hindsight, if Sessions had made even a cursory effort to evaluate the evidence against Trump, he would have learned that the Russia collusion allegations were baseless. But he ignored all pleas not to recuse himself and followed the advice of “relevant senior career department officials.”

So it came to pass that after a frustrated and betrayed President Trump fired FBI Director Comey on May 9, 2017, it was Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, not the recused Jeff Sessions, who decided that a special counsel was needed to oversee the Russia collusion investigation. Moreover, it was Rosenstein who chose Robert Mueller as special counsel. Rosenstein thus ensured that the country would continue to be fixated on Russia collusion for the next two years. As it turned out, Mueller couldn’t provide the impeachment ammunition the Democrats sought because he couldn’t find proof of Russia collusion.

Yet Sessions didn’t see that his recusal was an error. Years later, after he conceded losing a Senate primary to Tommy Tuberville, Sessions declared that his recusal “saved the president’s bacon.” Huh? Two impeachments later and he thought he did the right thing! Certainly not the stuff of a wingman.

Then there was Lois Lerner, who was the former director of the Exempt Organizations Unit of the IRS. Lerner took to heart Obama’s criticism of the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling, and systematically denied tax-exempt status to conservative organizations. In May 2013, she confessed to the targeting of conservative groups, and later, appearing before Congress, she declared her innocence and then invoked the Fifth Amendment to refuse to answer any questions.

On April 9, 2014, the House Ways and Means Committee sent a letter to the DOJ referring Lerner for criminal prosecution. The letter stated: “In particular, the Committee found that Ms. Lerner used her position to improperly influence IRS action against conservative organizations, denying these groups due process and protection rights under the law. The Committee also found she impeded official investigations by providing misleading statements in response to questions from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. Finally, Lerner risked exposing, and may have actually disclosed, confidential taxpayer information, in apparent violation of Internal Revenue Code section 6103 by using her personal email to conduct official business.”

To no one’s surprise, the Obama DOJ didn’t file criminal charges against Lerner. But all hope wasn’t lost. A couple of years later Sessions had another chance to charge her. And he had the benefit of the roadmap provided by the Ways and Means Committee. So what did Jeff do? He declined to charge her, writing that it “would not be appropriate” to reopen an investigation of Lerner.

The Lerner affair was another instance of where it appears Sessions deferred to entrenched DOJ staff, likely holdover Obama hires. If Sessions had the vision and courage to charge Lerner, however, the DOJ would have fired a shot across the bow of bureaucrats who abuse their positions to further partisan views. Yet another lost opportunity.

The contrast between Holder and Garland and Sessions is stark. Holder and Garland used their positions to protect their presidents and advance partisan agendas. In contrast, Sessions behaved as if he were president of a high school civics club. So the question is whether or not the next Republican president will name a wingman as attorney general? And if Republicans do, will the country suffer by the further politicizing of the attorney general’s office? But if Republicans don’t, will the DOJ continue to be weaponized?

On the other hand, who’s to say Republicans can’t name an attorney general who’s a wartime consigliere?

Biden’s influence-peddling is consistent with what I wrote in my book, 'Capitol Hills Criminal Underground'

By Richard Lawless

More than three years ago, MedLaw Publishing released my book, “Capitol Hills Criminal Underground” in which I, the book's author, describe a long-running “protection racket” being run by then-Vice President Joe Biden, as well  as Attorney General Eric Holder and New York Senator, Chuck Schumer.  

The three amigos effectively arranged to have all Wall Street criminal cases directed to the lefty-friendly Southern District of New York, and for the right “payments” the cases would be closed. Money would then go into PACs controlled by Schumer and distributed to all those involved.  In return for those payments, there would be no investigations, no prosecutions and no regulatory action.  As author, I tracked over $110,000,000 in payments to politicians. 

The CIA tracked some of the money-laundering related to the theft by these Wall Street companies and was able to track back the payments to senior DOJ officials and senior politicians like Vice President Joe Biden.  

I, and a senior CIA officer, offered this evidence to both FBI Director James Comey and DoJ Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz.  They both declined to respond.  I filed criminal complaints with the FBI and was told by field agents that senior leadership at the DOJ would not allow anyone to work the criminal complaints.

I want to encourage all Americans to read my book, "Capitol Hill's Criminal Underground" and decide for themselves.

 

THE BANKSTER REGIME OF BARACK OBAMA, ERIC HOLDER AND 'CREDIT CARD' JOE BIDEN

“This was not because of difficulties in securing indictments or

convictions. On the contrary, Attorney General Eric Holder

told a Senate committee in March of 2013 that the Obama

administration chose not to prosecute the big banks or their

CEOs because to do so might “have a negative impact on the

national economy.” AS THEY LOOTED TRILLIONS FROM

THE ECONOMY AND THEN PASSED ALONG SOME OF THE

 LOOT IN THE FORM OF 'SPEECH FEE' BRIBES!

 

During his presidency, Obama bragged that his administration was “the only thing between [Wall Street] and the pitchforks.”

In fact, Obama handed the robber barons and outright criminals responsible for the 2008–09 financial crisis a multi-trillion-dollar bailout. His administration oversaw the largest redistribution of wealth in history from the bottom to the top one percent, spearheading the attack on the living standards of teachers and autoworkers.

The Republican staff of the US House Committee on Financial Services released a report Monday presenting its findings on why the Obama Justice Department and then-Attorney General Eric Holder chose not to prosecute the British-based HSBC bank for laundering billions of dollars for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels.

OBAMANOMICS TO SERVE BANKSTERS  AND GLOBAL BILLIONAIRES

One of the premier institutions of big business, JP Morgan Chase, issued an internal report on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2008 crash, which warned that another “great liquidity crisis” was possible, and that a government bailout on the scale of that effected by Bush and Obama will produce social unrest, “in light of the potential impact of central bank actions in driving inequality between asset owners and labor."

 

 

 

With Biden, one set of laws for them, another set for us

By Jack Hellner

 

Twenty-one students at three universities were charged with participation in a massive drug ring.

Total proceeds were $1.5 million over a few years. No, they shouldn't have done it. But the penalties for them are draconian: They are in huge lifetime trouble with the law. Their lives will be destroyed, and several will probably go to prison.

Twenty-one people have been charged with dealing drugs on and around college campuses after federal officials uncovered a massive drug ring involving students at three North Carolina universities, authorities announced Thursday.

Martin said that over several years the suspects allegedly moved more than a thousand of pounds of marijuana and hundreds of kilograms of cocaine and other drugs through their supply chain. The drug proceeds exceeded $1.5 million, according to the DEA.

Contrast the students’ treatment with terrorists being let off scot-free by the Obama administration Justice department after Obama dictatorially instructed bureaucrats to drop the years-long investigation into a billion-dollar-a -year drug ring, all to appease Iran.

You see, terrorists are special when Obama/Biden and John Kerry want to appease dictators who pledge death to America as they work on their legacy.

Where were the whistleblowers at the Justice department in 2008, calling out this pure abuse of power by Obama? Where were the congressional hearings and articles of impeachment?

From Politico in 2017:

In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation.

The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle East-focused military and political organization into an international crime syndicate that some investigators believed was collecting $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.

The media and other Democrats claim they care about all deaths from drugs, so why don’t they care about all the deaths from terrorism and drug overdoses because of Obama’s actions?

The Justice department, the media, and the politicians of both parties go after pharmaceutical companies for their contribution to the drug crisis, so why didn’t they go after Obama -- and China, the terrorists and Iran, for their major contribution to the problem?

This is what is going on now in San Francisco

According to the Associated Press, 621 people have died in San Francisco of drug overdoses thus far this year, a staggering number that equates to nearly two deaths per day.

On the other hand, just 173 San Fransisco residents have died of COVID-19.

It is an absolute joke to watch Biden and the media claim that the new administration will not interfere at the Justice department when they know how the Obama/Biden administration completely politicized the Justice department throughout their eight years.

When they say that no one is above the law and there will be equal treatment under the law, they are plainly lying.

They not only let terrorists off scot free, IRS bureaucrats who targeted Obama opponents, obstructed justice, destroyed computers and lied to Congress were also above the law.

Hillary Clinton, her aides, and officials throughout government, including Obama, could violate the nation's security laws, could destroy computers, hide documents, and repeatedly lie and they were above the law.

The Justice department could shake down corporations, establish a slush fund, and give kickbacks to political supporters such as ACORN or whatever they call themselves now, and few cared.

Eric Holder, James Clapper, James Comey, John Brennan, Andrew McCabe and others could repeatedly lie to Congress and/or the FBI and they were all above the law.

Bureaucrats could use a fake dossier from a foreign source, paid for by the DNC and Hillary campaign, and lie to the FISA court as they targeted Trump and his supporters, and they, too, were above the law.

Bureaucrats within the Obama/Biden Administration illegally spied on thousands of Americans throughout their eight years in office and they were all above the law. Remember this?

Newly declassified memos detail extent of improper Obama-era NSA spying

The Obama/Biden Justice department refused to enforce immigration laws. Politicians and bureaucrats in sanctuary cities and states were above the law.

The Clinton and Biden families were allowed to use their powerful government positions to solicit massive kickbacks for themselves and their families from foreign sources, and they were and are above the law.

Democrats not only didn’t care about the kickbacks, they impeached Trump for wanting an investigation into the Biden corruption.

While members of the Obama/Biden crime syndicate could violate as many laws as they liked, they were also targeting innocent people like Gen. Michael Flynn and energy expert Carter Page for destruction.

It is no wonder there is so much corruption and criminal activity among politicians and bureaucrats thrives throughout the United States when the press is coopted, asleep, or just don’t care. They frequently bury the stories and actively campaign for the corrupt criminals. It is sad that they support putting corrupt criminals in the White House. They support anyone who seeks to make the government run by leftists more powerful.

Meanwhile, they will seek to destroy anyone who wants to give the power, purse, and freedom back to the people as fast as possible. They don’t care about how many fake stories, such as  Russian collusion, they have to peddle in their efforts to defeat political opponents. Evidence and the truth are not important. Anonymous sources are treated as evidence. Only victory for leftists matters and that truly makes the media an existential threat to our survival as a great country.

That baleful presence of Eric Holder eyeing the coronavirus as a means to win Democrats' permanent power

By Monica Showalter

Eric Holder is back.

But instead of helping out on the coronavirus crisis as an ethical person might do, his wheels are spinning for using the crisis as a means of attaining permanent Democratic Party power.

The far left former Obama administration Attorney General got an item out on Medium, calling for the skeezy practice of universal mail-in voting, claiming the Wisconsin primary during the crisis was some kind of unspecified travesty:

 

New from @EricHolder: "Given that the virus is likely to return in the fall, if we do not start taking measures now to protect the franchise, our current voting procedures will put the health of all Americans -no matter their political preference -at risk" https://t.co/dvry9SLQsf

— Patrick Rodenbush (@pnrodenbush) April 14, 2020

 

Thanks for the concern-trolling for Republicans, Eric. We all know how sincere it is. 

Calling for mail-in ballots, online registration, same-day registration, ballot-harvesting, and month-long extended voting periods, all of which are petri dishes for election fraud in that most break the chain of custody to any number of interested players, some break secret ballot, and others can be manipulated by partisan hacks based on known ongoing tallies, Holder writes:

By refusing to move the election or provide adequate alternative voting options as they dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, Republicans used their gerrymandered majorities in the Wisconsin legislature to force an impossible choice on the people they are supposed to represent: forgo your civic responsibility and stay healthy or cast a ballot and endanger yourself and your community. It remains unthinkable that health care experts would tell citizens that social distancing is a necessity to combat this virus and then politicians forced them to congregate in large groups and wait in long lines to vote. Poll workers afraid for their health did not show up.

Which is nonsense. People stand in grocery lines all the time, socially distancing by six feet. Somehow, Holder thinks voters can't master that in an election situation where lines are usually considerably shorter.

NPR of all outlets reported that Holder's travesty claims in Wisconsin were garbage, the public network reports that Wisconsin turnout in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic was steady and high.

The ballot harvesting, borrowed from Mexico's "perfect dictatorship," the 70-year ruling PRI party, famous for its corruption and socialism, goes on a lot in the U.S. these days already, the camel's nose is already under the tent. Fraud plagued California is the main example, but it also goes on in states with large Latin American-descended populations, by seamy [political operatives known as boliteros and politiqueras, who make sure to bring home the bacon for their party as such flying monkeys are commissioned to do. They are often union thugs, coming to people's houses, standing over them, (we know where you live) pressuring them to vote the way they want them to vote, even if they don't want to vote that way, even if they are illegal and don't want to get into trouble.

Or else.

All of this is part of the Democrats' plan for using the coronavirus to fundamentally transform America. California's Gov. Gavin Newsom said as much about the coronavirus couple weeks earlier.

Now Holder's grabbed the football and is running with it, making an end to normal voting a fundamental part of the Democratic Party platform. It goes with their other offensive that I described earlier today, which is encouraging a flood of illegals, with PRI (or worse, Chavista) values into the country, and then changing the secret ballot voting system from one-man one-vote to an extended harvest mechanism, extended over a long period, with zero verification of who actually cast the ballot, and a broken chain of custody, allowing for all manner of fraud that Democrats view as beneficial.

Never let a crisis go to waste, to paraphrase Democratic operative Rahm Emanuel. Holder is one baleful presence. No matter what the crisis, all he can see is new ways to extend Democratic Party power.

CALIFORNIA COMRADES CHOOSE COMRADE HOLDER

 

https://sacramentocitizen.wordpress.com/2017/01/11/california-comrades-choose-comrade-holder/

 

JANUARY 11, 2017 / KATYGRIMES

Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job. 

Eric Holder

In Part One of this series, we exposed the Chicano Marxist take over of the California legislature and their plans to defy federal immigration laws and expected actions of the incoming Trump administration. Gov. Jerry Brown’s nomination of  Xavier Becerra to be California’s next Attorney General was the first of many steps to protect the pervasive lawlessness of the radical left. Becerra has already taken an aggressive and combative stance against President-elect Donald Trump, vowing to fight Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration laws, and even block attempts to deport criminal illegal aliens. Trump’s campaign centered on building a wall along the United States border with Mexico to keep out illegal immigrants, violent gangs, and terrorists posing as immigrants.

Xavier Becerra, currently a 12-year member of Congress, is an admitted member of MEChA, or “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan,” often likened to a Latino KKK.

Becerra has publicly defended MEChA, even though the Chicano supremacist group evangelizes discrimination against non-Hispanics and calls for the killing of Border Patrol “pigs.” MEChA’s rallying cry is: “For the race, everything; For those outside the race, nothing.

Becerra’s Radical Plans

Recently, the State Assembly Committee on the Office of the Attorney General asked nominee Becerra to detail his plans on the issues of immigration, civil rights, the environment, policing and consumer protection – apparently the only issues the California Legislature is interested in Becerra defending.

In a letter released Saturday, Becerra praised California’s policies helping illegal aliens get driver’s licenses, free college tuition, and free lawyers to represent them in deportation cases, calling it “national leadership.”

“All of these policies and programs are representative of California’s values as a welcoming state,” Becerra wrote to the Assembly committee.

Becerra also took a shot at Trump for proposing to create a registry of Muslim immigrants during the campaign.”Disturbing statements uttered during the recent Presidential campaign have given rise to legitimate fears that the new federal administration might seek to adopt policies that would discriminate against people based on factors such as their religious belief,” Becerra wrote. “Any such policies would be antithetical to the deepest constitutional values and traditions of this nation — a nation founded in part by men and women fleeing religious persecution.”

“I have no intention of allowing this policy through the doors of California,” he wrote.

Like a good progressive foot soldier, Becerra also vowed to fight for abortion, calling it “reproductive freedom.”

Becerra said he will support California’s recent legislation expanding voter registration and participation in elections. He might want to look into the 650,000 newly registered California voters, registered online only weeks before the election. According to the Los Angeles Times, “98% of all the growth in California’s voter ranks in 2016 happened in just the last 45 days of the registration season.”

As Attorney General, Becerra has vowed to continue enforcing policies to combat climate change and work to “transition Californians to a low-carbon way of life.” Becerra added that a part of environmental protections is safe drinking water and vowed to “pursue the goal of providing safe drinking water to all Californians.” Perhaps Becerra can begin by supporting the safe drinking water bills that Assemblyman Devon Mathis has tried to get passed over the last two years?  In Mathis’ district, wells began going dry in East Porterville more than three years ago, with more continuing to dry up every day.

Assemblyman Devon Mathis, R-Porterville, authored the bills to provide $10 million to homeowners (not farmers) to dig deeper wells and clean contaminated ones.

Both bills passed through the Assembly and a state Senate committee without opposition, only to have Senate Appropriations Chairman Ricardo Lara, D-Los Angeles and Mecha activist, put both bills on suspense– one after the other, killing them and depriving 10,000+ low-income individuals access to running water. Sen. Lara was playing politics with this Republican bill, despite the 10,000 poor people who need the clean water.

Sanctuary Cities

California, through its 35 Sanctuary Cities, is clearly violating U.S. Federal Immigration law. Recently, Democrat members of the State Legislature proposed two bills: SB 6 by Sen. Ben Hueso, to create a state program to fund legal representation for illegal aliens facing deportation, and AB 3 by Assemblyman Rob Bonta to create taxpayer-funded training for defense attorneys and public defenders on immigration law for illegal aliens.

And now California is going to try to prevent the new Presidential administration from enforcing federal immigration law despite the fact that the Constitution clearly imposes a duty on the president and the executive branch, to enforce the law.

Hiring Eric Holder… for what?

Democrats in the California State Legislature apparently decided Becerra isn’t enough legal muscle, and recently hired former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder to fight a “clear and present danger” from President-elect Trump… the same former Attorney General Eric Holder who was once blasted for helping to trigger a “war” on police and called America  “a nation of cowards” on the issue of race. However, he now says he sees his “younger” self in Black Lives Matter activists… this is who California hired to assist California’s top law enforcement officer?

Since Trump — who is not referring to himself as “The Office of President-Elect,” as his predecessor did — has not yet taken office, nor any official actions, it is hard to see specifically for what purpose Holder has been hired.

There certainly is poetic justice in hiring the failed Attorney General of the failed Obama Administration to defend the failed and deteriorating policies of the Jerry Brown administration and radical Democrats running the state.

Described as a “devious, power-hungry, racial zealot,” Eric Holder is also a dubious choice since he is the only U.S. Attorney General in history to be held in contempt of Congress, when he refused to turn over Operation Fast and Furious documents to Congress. One of the most reckless law enforcement operations ever conducted by the Justice Department, it involved selling guns to Mexican drug cartels, and resulted in the death of a U.S. border patrol agent, Brian Terry, as well as hundreds of Mexican citizens.

Under Holder’s watch at the DOJ Civil Rights Division, more than half of all the lawyers hired were chosen from four radical, anti-American organizations: the ACLU, National Council of La Raza, NAACP, Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights, John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky outlined in their 2014 book, “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.”

Additionally, the Justice Department under Holder, and now Loretta Lynch, has one of the worst records before the U.S. Supreme Court, losing significantly more cases than either of the Bush or Clinton Departments of Justice. “In most administrations, the department wins about 70 percent of the cases before the Supreme Court; Mr. Holder’s department has a losing record and has lost at least nine cases 9-0–even with Obama appointees Elena Kagen and Sonia Sotomayor on the court,” wrote Jared Taylor of American Renaissance, in a review of “Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.”

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a records request with the California Legislature Joint Rules Committee seeking to examine legislative records regarding the state’s employment of former Obama U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr.  The record request includes:

All contracts between the California Legislature and former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling.

All communications between the California Legislature and former U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling about the Legislature’s retention of Holder and/or Covington and Burling.

Judicial Watch’s records request is designed to expose how California state legislators are wasting tax dollars to take care of another corrupt politician – Eric Holder – under the guise of resisting the rule of law on immigration and other matters,” stated Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.  “His record at the Clinton and Obama Justice Departments demonstrates a willingness to bend the law in order to protect his political patrons.

The hiring of Eric Holder by the California Legislature confirms a lack of confidence in Xavier Becerra by Gov. Brown and Democrats in the Legislature–which must be quite humiliating for Becerra, especially after his promise to uphold California’s “progressive” policies on immigration, Obamacare, energy, and criminal justice. “If you want to take on a forward-leaning state that is prepared to defend its rights and interests, then come at us,” Becerra said, directing his comment to Trump.  Choosing Holder also reiterates the anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-religion movement of Marxists in America, but particularly in California. The biggest obstacle standing between Marxism and Marxist domination of the world is America, and the U.S. Constitution. And standing between a Marxist takeover of America is California – only when California is destroyed can Marxists proceed.

Now They’re Just Poking Their Fingers in Our Eyes

By Clarice Feldman

Reading this week’s news of the Biden Administration, I kept thinking of the Three Stooges poking fingers in each other’s eyes. As I started to write this, I see that Kurt Schlichter also compares this administration to the same trio, wrapping up their doings as Beetlejuice the Musical

Here’s what reminded me of that slapstick routine and why I think the administration is just being aggressively stupid. Nothing seems to get through to them; their conduct is clear evidence that they believe they can get away with being completely outrageous because they suffer no consequences. (I know you probably can point to more examples -- apart from the open border through which the number of invaders now is the population equivalent of 17 states. But these are the ones -- in no particular order -- that struck me this week.)

The Suit Against Elon Musk

This litigation strikes me as this week’s most easily understood misuse of the law to pester opponents and make them dig into their pockets to defend.

The Department of Justice is suing Elon Musk for not hiring refugees to build advanced rocket technology. Why didn’t Tesla hire refugees? Tesla has hired non-citizens and non-green card holders for some positions but asserts that it could not for those projects that have national security implications because that is forbidden by law and they could face steep fines for employing foreign workers for those positions.   

Not satisfied with one attack, the Biden administration is also investigating Musk for building a glass house near the company’s Texas headquarters. A case as frivolous as the other, for no such house was built or even planned. Private counsel filing such frivolous lawsuits would be subject to sanctions. 

@elonmusk

Just want to reiterate that there is no glass house (metaphors don’t count lol) built, under construction or planned! I’m not building any house of any kind anywhere. Period.

Suing Musk for following the law and investigating him for a never-built glass house seems stupid unless you, like Congressman Thomas Massie, weren’t born yesterday:

“Elon Musk was a Democrat who admittedly supported Biden but then he became a critic of the administration and exposed the censorship regime. Now per public reports the DOJ has opened not one but two investigations of Elon Musk… These look like mafia tactics.”

The Homeland Intelligence Experts Group

DHS has created a Homeland Intelligence Experts Group to deal with national security issues. Appointed to this group are James Clapper, John Brennan, and Paul Kolbe, former intelligence officers who signed the October 2020 letter deceptively implying the Hunter Biden laptop was “Russian disinformation.”  Kanekoa the Great asks the question on every thinking person’s mind: “Why select intelligence officials who intentionally spread misinformation to sway a U.S. election for a role in a DHS Expert Group tasked with national security?? Shouldn’t they be losing their security clearances?” Also selected for this group by DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas is Tashina Guahar who oversaw the fraudulent Carter Page FISA -- the fake claim that set off the illegal surveillance into the Trump campaign.

They’re just trying humiliate us by showing they fear no consequences for what they’ve done. It should come as no surprise, as Rasmussen Reports notes, that “More than two-thirds of U.S. likely voters are worried that their country is turning into a police state and a majority say the FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law-abiding Americans.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Testimony Reveals Extensive Corruption by the Department of Justice

A number of online commentators have covered his testimony in depth. Julie Kelly and Jonathan Turley are particularly detailed and you can scroll through their posts on X, the site formerly known as Twitter. Of particular interest was Garland’s claim he had no idea how many undercover federal agents participated in the January 6 event at the Capitol. He was evasive and not credible on the number and role of federal agents on that date.

During the hearing, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) confronted Garland for refusing to answer in a hearing two years ago whether there were federal Agents present on January 6, 2021 and whether they agitated to go into the Capitol. Garland back then claimed he could not comment on “pending investigations.” [snip]  Massie: That was your answer two years ago when I asked how many agents and assets of the government were present on January 5 and January 6 and agitating in the crowd to go into the Capitol. Can you answer that now?

Garland: I don’t know the answer to that question.

Massie: You don’t know how many there were or there were none? 

Garland: I don’t know the answer to either of those questions if there were any or if there are…

Massie: I think you may have just perjured yourself when you just said you don’t know if there were any. You want to say that again?

Garland: I have no personal knowledge of this matter. I think what I just said the last time…

Massie: You’ve had two years to find out! By the way that was in reference to Ray Epps and yesterday you indicted him! Isn’t that a wonderful coincidence? On a misdemeanor! 

Former Assistant Director-in-Charge of the Washington Field Office has acknowledged in a letter released by the House Judiciary Committee “there were numerous FBI confidential human sources in the crowd.” In fact, there were so many and from so many different offices that they could not immediately ascertain how many there were. 

Garland’s selection of David Weiss as special counsel was a peculiar one. Weiss had previously worked with Hunter’s late brother Beau; he negotiated Hunter's absurd sweetheart plea agreement which the Federal District Court had refused to accept; and had earlier overseen an FBI probe of Biden’s Delaware fundraising operation in which a top bundler pleaded guilty to a straw donor scheme but Biden was never charged. Garland admitted that Weiss was the only person he ever considered for that position, and it would have been “disruptive" had he appointed anyone else. He refused to answer if he had had any conversations with Weiss about the Hunter matter. He couldn’t recollect discussing the matter with the FBI.

He declined to withdraw the incendiary memo that directed the FBI to use counterterrorism tactics on parents who raised objections to school board policies.

Worse, his testimony about why he failed to appoint a special counsel earlier and the claim Weiss had broad authority even before the appointment of him as special counsel is in direct contradiction to the testimony of now three whistleblowers to the contrary and the failure of the DoJ in response to a FOIA request to provide any evidence to support Garland’s claim that Weiss had broad authority. In fact, he accidentally admitted that the department thwarted the Hunter investigation.

U.S. Attorney, now Special Counsel, David Weiss did not have full charging authority during the bulk of his federal investigation into Hunter Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland slyly admitted in his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

Garland’s confession contradicts his previous under-oath insistence that Weiss possessed all of the authority he needed to properly charge President Joe Biden’s youngest son with various tax and gun crimes, some of which extended to other jurisdictions.[Ed: it is consistent  with Weiss’s most recent  June 30 acknowledgement  that his authority was “geographically limited to my home district.”]… 

Even after acknowledging Weiss’s attempts to charge Hunter were hampered by a U.S. attorney acting on behalf of the DOJ, Garland doubled down on his claims that the attorney “has full authority to conduct his investigation however he wishes.” He repeatedly invoked Weiss’s position as a Donald Trump appointee as proof that he was acting independently of the AG. 

Despite the potential penalty of perjury, Garland claimed during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on March 1, 2023, that “the U.S. Attorney in Delaware has been advised that he has full authority… to bring cases in other jurisdictions if he feels it’s necessary.” 

In a June 7 letter to Jordan, Weiss appeared to confirm that “I have been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges.” In a subsequent June 30 letter, however, Weiss reversed his claim and declared that his charging authority “is geographically limited to my home district.”…

Weiss’s lack of jurisdiction was further confirmed in August when Garland named Weiss special counsel, an authority that allows the prosecutor to charge Hunter outside of Delaware. If Weiss truly did possess full autonomy in the Hunter case, as Garland dubiously declared on numerous occasions, he wouldn’t have needed the special counsel appointment to prosecute the president’s son.

Garland still claimed he had made it clear that Weiss could bring a case in any jurisdiction with the attorney general’s blessing via a Section 515 form.

For most of the hearing, Garland tried to appear as a hands-off department head who let Weiss independently conduct his investigation. Republicans quickly saw through that facade when Garland immediately refused to disclose whether he had communications with Weiss about Hunter’s case.

The advantages of the Weiss appointment to the administration is obvious. The President told prosecutors in May that his son should not be indicted because he’d done nothing wrong, Weiss is the cut out to hide the role of the DoJ in covering for Biden family bribery and corruption, and a thoroughly compromised Weiss’s work will only be known when he files his report, that is after the investigation -- something unlikely to be done before the 2024 election.

Nyuk! Nyuk!

 

 

The “zero tolerance” program was dismantled by Attorney General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014 letter by two pro-migration Senators, Sen. Jeff Flake and John McCain.

 

The cost of the Dream Act is far bigger than the Democrats or their media allies admit. Instead of covering 690,000 younger illegals now enrolled in former President Barack Obama’s 2012 “DACA” amnesty, the Dream Act would legalize at least 3.3 million illegals, according to a pro-immigration group, the Migration Policy Institute.”

 

 JOE HAS USHERED OVER THE BORDER 15 MILLION ILLEGALS

So they want billions and billions in assistance to foreign countries, such as Ukraine, which is not a NATO country, but a big hog wallow for the U.S. foreign policy consulting establishment, nearly all Democrats, drawing lots of "contracts," if not losing track of the money entirely, as a top Ukrainian official admitted, but they refuse to lift a finger to halt Joe Biden's open-borders policies, which have created untold misery on city streets as migrants are dumped, human trafficking networks are empowered, cartels are growing so rich they are driving Mexicans out of their homes, families are being separated and broken up and kids sold into slavery based on Biden's immigration incentives, migrants ae dying en route through dangerous crossings, illegal alien crime is growing, and Democrat-led cities are seeing their budgets blown out and vital police and fire services cut. MONICA SHOWALTER

President Joe Biden’s low approval rating among Americans between the ages of 18-29 threatens his reelection chances, New York Times’ chief political analyst Nate Cohn warned Monday in a 1,181-word article.

Cohn’s long article signals Biden’s dire hopes of winning reelection against likely Republican nominee former President Donald Trump.

WATCH — How Do You Do, FELLOW KIDS?? Biden Bumbles Through BIZARRE, Pandering Joke About Taylor Swift:

The White House / YouTube

The article highlighted two significant numbers from recent polling by the Times:

  • Biden only leads 76-20 percent among young voters registered as Democrats or who previously voted in a Democrat primary.
  • Biden only leads Trump 69-24 percent among young nonwhite Democrats. 

Cohn attributed Biden’s sluggish polling to three factors:

  1. Young voters are by far the likeliest to say he’s just too old to be an effective president.
  2. Many are upset about his handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
  3. And all of this is against the backdrop of Mr. Biden’s longstanding weakness among young voters, who weren’t enthusiastic about him in 2020, and Mr. Trump’s gains among nonwhite voters, who are disproportionately young.

Economic factors could also contribute to Biden’s low approval rating among young Americans, according to recent polling by Empower:

  • 56 percent of Gen Z say their financial situations “keep them up at night.”
  • 51 percent of Millennials say their financial situations “keep them up at night.”
  • In comparison, just 37 percent of Gen X and just 20 percent of Baby Boomers said the same.
Expensive housing is a key challenge for many young Americans who must relocate to a big city to launch a career. A new report by RentCafe found young people in the Bay Area still live with their parents:
  • 1 in 4 millennials live with family
  • 3 and 4 Gen Zs live with family

Averaged nationwide, the poll found one in five millennials and two-thirds of Gen Zers live with family.

Mexico’s President Says Biden Responsible for Migrant Surge at Border


ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and BRANDON DARBY

Expectations created by President Joe Biden about better treatment for migrants led to the current border surge, said Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).



THE NEXT MEXICAN INVASION IS AT HAND:

"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."

http://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2018/07/mexican-president-andres-manuel-lopez.html

"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."

"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it."

600 Migrants Cross into Texas Border Town in Single Group on Thanksgiving

Eagle Pass Thanksgiving Day (File Photos: Randy Clark/Breitbart Texas)

The migrant crossings in Eagle Pass, Texas, did not show any signs of slowing on Thanksgiving Day as a single group of more than 600 migrants entered the small border city in the early morning hours. As most American families gathered for a Thanksgiving feast and a day of NFL football, Border Patrol agents were, once again, tied up with processing a large migrant group crossing.

The group of more than 600 migrants was undeterred by the colder temperatures in the region that dipped to 37 degrees Fahrenheit overnight. Concertina wire barriers also failed to deter the migrants who made speedy entry into the heart of the downtown area and quickly surrendered to the Border Patrol. The group consisted of mostly single adult males and females but also included some family units with small children.

Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas informed the public of the crossing via social media and gave thanks to the federal, state, and local law enforcement and first responders working the Thanksgiving holiday. As the Mayor toured an area below the Eagle Pass Camino Real Bridge II, migrants were being accepted by the Border Patrol after making the dangerous river crossing.

The mayor also spoke of the number of migrant drownings in the vicinity of Eagle Pass, which he says stands at nearly 20 during the month. The number of migrant deaths in such a short period has put a strain on local law enforcement and one local funeral home tasked with identifying the remains of those pulled from the murky waters of the Rio Grande.

Thursday’s group of migrants brings the number of crossings just in Eagle Pass to more than 1,300 in less than 24 hours, according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection source.

As previously reported by Breitbart Texas, in 2022, local authorities in the small border city found themselves unable to deal with the number of migrant deaths in a short period and were quickly overwhelmed. Currently, the city relies on one funeral home to store the deceased migrant’s remains. It utilizes a refrigeration truck operated by Maverick County authorities as a temporary morgue to aid in the task. The increase in migrant deaths in recent weeks has resulted in a move to bury the remains in a mass grave, as was done in 2022, to keep up with the pace of migrant drownings.

The latest large migrant group crossing into Eagle Pass continues a trend of large single migrant group crossings in recent months. On Wednesday, another large migrant group of nearly 500 mostly Venezuelan and Central American migrants crossed into Eagle Pass in one single group near the heart of the downtown area. The group also managed to breach the existing concertina wire barriers installed by the State of Texas.

The migrants will be transported to a nearby Border Patrol processing facility. Once processed, many will likely be released to pursue asylum claims within the United States. In October, according to CBP, more than 38,000 migrants were apprehended in the Del Rio Sector, the majority of whom crossed into Eagle Pass. The sector currently is the second busiest for migrant crossings into the United States nationwide.

The steady migrant releases of several thousand migrants in cities across the southwest border daily is being felt in large metropolitan sanctuary cities across the United States, struggling to cope with hundreds of migrants in need of shelter arriving daily.

Mexico: Where Is Your Shame?

At a demonstration Wednesday in Mexico City against Arizona's law.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Immigration: Mexico's government gloated triumphantly after a federal judge's injunction blocked Arizona's immigration law. But it's no victory for Mexico. In fact, Mexico's leaders ought to be mortified.

As radical immigration activists crowed with glee and the Obama administration claimed victory, Mexico's government joined the applause. 

Calling Judge Susan Bolton's injunction Wednesday "a step in the right direction," Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa declared: "The government of Mexico would like to express its recognition for the determination demonstrated by the federal government of the United States and the actions of the civil organizations that organized lawsuits against the SB 1070 law."

In reality, it ought to be ashamed. Supposedly framed as an issue of federal power pre-empting state power, it's hardly Mexico's business. But Mexico made a big show of saying its interest was in protecting its nationals from the dreadful racism of Arizona that its own citizens, curiously enough, keep fleeing to.

Espinosa said her government was busy collecting data on civil rights violations and her department had issued an all-out travel warning to Mexican nationals about Arizona. 

That's where Mexico's hypocrisy is just too much.

First, Mexico encourages illegal immigration to the U.S. Oh, it says it doesn't, but it prints comic book guides for would-be illegal immigrants and provides ID cards for illegals once they get here. In Arizona alone, Mexico keeps five consulates busy.

 That's not out of love for its own citizens, but because Mexicans send cash back to Mexico that helps finance the government.

Instead of selling its wasteful state-owned oil company or getting rid of red tape to create jobs in Mexico, Mexico spends the hard currency from remittances. It fails to look at why its citizens leave.

According to the Heritage Foundation-Wall Street Journal 2010 Index of Economic Freedom, Mexico's big problem is — no shock — government corruption, where it ranks below the world average.

That's where Mexico's cartels come in.

Mexico's encouragement of illegal immigration undercuts its valiant war against its smuggling cartels. The cartels' prowess and firepower have made them the only ones who can smuggle effectively across the border. U.S. law enforcers say they now control human-smuggling on our southern border.

Feed them immigrants and they grow more cash-rich — and right now, immigrant smuggling is about a third of the cartels' income.

Mass graves and car bombings are signs of criminal organizations getting bigger, and more powerful. Juarez, which has lost 5,000 people this year, bleeds because cartels fight over not just who gets the drug routes, but who gets the illegal-immigrant smuggling routes, too.

Aside from the cartel mayhem in Mexico, the bodies are piling up in the Arizona desert and U.S. Border Patrol rescues of abandoned illegals left to die have risen. 

 It's not the desert's fault, and it's certainly not Uncle Sam's fault, as activists claim. No, it's the fact that Mexicans are encouraged to emigrate. Criminal cartels don't fear abandoning their human cargo in the desert, as long as Mexico does nothing and blames Uncle Sam.

Hearing Mexico's government now cheer the Arizona ruling, which will only encourage more illegal immigration, gives the country's regime a pretty inhuman face. 

If Mexico had any decency, it would do all it could to discourage illegal immigration and keep a respectful silence about Arizona.

It needs U.S. support for its war on cartels. Instead of insulting American citizens, Mexico should confront directly the reasons why its people are so desperate to leave, and do all in its power to destroy the cartels that are slowly killing the nation. That includes defunding the murderous gangs by halting illegal immigration.


Mexico’s President Says Biden Responsible for Migrant Surge at Border

ILDEFONSO ORTIZ and BRANDON DARBY

Expectations created by President Joe Biden about better treatment for migrants led to the current border surge, said Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).

During his daily news conference, AMLO spoke about the ongoing border crisis and said the increase in migrants entering Mexico and heading to the U.S. is partly due to the expectations created by President Biden.

AMLO: “Expectations were created that with the Government of President Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants. And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so” pic.twitter.com/TNrZQamuWK

“Expectations were created that with the Government of President Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants. And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so,” AMLO said.

The statements come one day after Mexico’s military confirmed the deployment of 8,700 soldiers to curb the growing number of migrants traveling through the country.

Mexico’s president says he will share with President Joe Biden his willingness to find a way to legalize the flow of migrants from Central America and Mexico as a way to meet American labor needs.

“I have a teleconference with Biden on Monday and we are going to talk about that topic,” President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) said this weekend during one of his news conferences. “Let’s fix the migratory flow, legalizing it, to give guarantees to the workers so they don’t risk their lives, and that their human rights are protected.”

During the conference, AMLO said the U.S. would need about 600,000 to 800,000 laborers per year for economic growth. The Mexican politician brought up the Bracero program when the U.S. provided migrant farmworkers with permits during World War II.

The topic of the migrant workflow had not been previously discussed publicly by the Foreign Relations Ministry or the Interior Secretariat ahead of the virtual meeting between Lopez Obrador and Biden.

The issue comes as Mexican authorities see a dramatic rise in human smuggling activities as thousands of Central American migrants continue to make their way north. Mexican officials predicted a dramatic rise in migratory flows at the start of 2021 due to work shortages from the pandemic and recent natural disasters that shook Central America. Officials in Mexico did not publicly discuss the political effect that a Biden Administration would have on the matter.

Mexican authorities have found several large groups of migrants at hotels or being moved in tractor-trailers in recent weeks. Officials are also seeing a spike in ransom kidnappings where cartel-connected human smugglers hold migrants to further extort their families.

White House Deal with Mexico: More Migrants, Less Video

3 May 20238

8:34

A White House official has signed a border management deal with Mexico to minimize the visibility of accelerating mass illegal migration once officials lift the Title 42 barrier that now protects Americans.

The deal is not intended to block labor migration into Americans’ workplaces and neighborhoods, said Rosemary Jenks, the director of Government Relations for NumbersUSA: “It’s all designed to mask what is the intended goal of the Biden administration — which is to bring in as many people as possible.”

The administration’s same-day announcement that it sending 1,500 troops to the border “is all part of that distraction,” she added. The troops will be “pushing paper and stocking warehouses” to help Biden’s border agents and its progressive non-profit register more migrants for flights and bus trips to Americans’ cities and towns.

The deal with Mexico cooperation helps Biden’s deputies quietly funnel the chaotic and growing flood of illegal, job-seeking migrants through hidden side doors in the border, she said:

You no longer have videos of hundreds of people streaming across the Rio Grande [because] people are being flown in on taxpayer dollars, [and] poor people are coming through the ports of entry — again, with no legal right to be there — so that it doesn’t look like chaos …. [But] the end result is exactly the same: A massive number of people with no right to be here coming into the United States, using taxpayer dollars, taking taxpayer-funded services, competing for housing, competing for jobs, all of the rest of it.

Officials are already inviting up to 30,000 migrants per month to fly from four countries into airports around the United States. They are also helping to bus roughly 25,000 migrants from shelters in Mexico to border sites for quiet catch-and-release processing.

“It is stunning, the lawlessness of this administration,” she added. “They just create these programs out of whole cloth … — these people are making their own laws and nobody’s stopping them.”

The Biden policies are facing legal review in a federal court in Texas, and the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision by June.

Understandably, Mexico is using its power over the border flow to extract rewards from the U.S. government, she said.

 

“Mexico has power over the United States,” said Jenks. “Mexico is letting all of these people in through its borders, and it’s doing that very intentionally [because it has the power to] stop it, or … increase the flow.”

For example, Mexico steered up to 30,000 Haitian migrants to the Del Rio crossing in Texas in September 2021. The event was a shock to the Biden administration because the migrant flood was broadcast on the evening TV news to the many Americans who do not monitor political news.

“Mexico has no reason to agree to this [deal] if they’re not getting something of equal value or more value in exchange –I just don’t know what that is,” Jenks said.

The deal “consolidates Mexico’s role as the lynchpin in the US’ migration containment strategy,” said Mexican journalist, José Díaz Briseño.

The strategy is sometimes called. “border externalization,” because it allows White House officials — and their business allies — to quietly sign deals with foreign countries instead of openly negotiating with a divided Congress and hostile voters.

Mexico’s president, Lopez Obrador, is using his power over the U.S. border to minimize U.S. protests while he expands authoritarian rule in Mexico, said a tweet by author David Frum.

Obarado has long sought to swap border cooperation in exchange for more Mexicans and Latinos getting U.S. jobs that otherwise would go to Americans.

The White House’s official statement revealed little about the deal.

For example, it said, “Mexico will continue to accept back migrants on humanitarian grounds” without revealing the monthly cap on return. The current cap is just 30,000, which is far below the monthly arrival of more than 180,000 in April.

The statement does not discuss curbs on the flow of drugs into the United States, which now kill roughly 100,000 Americans each year.

The statement does not talk about the rising flood of global migrants from Chile, Colombia, India, China, Brazil, Cameroon, Nepal, Russia, and more than 150 other countries. Under Biden’s policies, very few migrants from those countries are being sent home. This passive policy ensures that successful migrants will summon many more migrants from their home countries.

Biden’s deputies want to import more foreigners for the jobs and homes that would otherwise go to Americans. For example, the pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, said on April 21:

Our model is as follows: Build lawful pathways, cut out the smugglers who exploit these vulnerable individuals. Build lawful pathways, give individuals an opportunity to reach the United States safely in an orderly way to avail themselves of the humanitarian relief our laws provide.

The White House statement did say that U.S. officials also plan to import another 100,000 poor migrants from Central America. The lucky migrants are the left-behind children of migrants who illegally sneaked into the U.S. economy.

The new pipeline comes after officials announced they would open two pipelines from Colombia and Panama, even as they expand many other inflows of migrants and visa workers.

“Everything that the Biden administration does has the effect of bringing more people into the United States who should not be here and do not have a right to be here,” said Jenks

In 1990, Congress set current immigration levels at about one million per year, alongside a flow of temporary workers for favored interest groups, including farmers, resort operators, and Fortune 500 companies. Those high caps provide roughly one immigrant for every four U.S. births but helped limit the migration-imposed damage to Americans’ national labor and housing markets.

Biden’s cooperation with other countries, and the establishment media, helped minimize the public recognition and response to Biden’s population policy. “They got away with [an inflow of] 4.5, to 6 million people over the last two years,” she said.

Despite the massive inflow, Biden’s deputies and their allies are portraying his border policies as a return to the l0w migraiton rules set by President Donald Trump and his deputies.

 

Extraction Migration

The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.

The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.

The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.

The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.

 

In many speeches, Mayorkas says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elite opinion about “the values of our country,” Mayorkas claims.

Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.

Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents arrested 21 criminal aliens with prior convictions for sex offenses. Many of these offenses included sex crimes against children.

Del Rio Sector Acting Chief Patrol Agent Juan Bernal posted the mugshots of 21 criminal aliens arrested since October 1 with histories of sex-related convictions. The sex offenders were arrested after illegally crossing the border between ports of entry. All migrants arrested undergo a biometric background check designed to stop these types of criminals from re-entering the United States.

“Due to the hard work and dedication of our agents, these dangerous individuals were not able to enter our country,” Chief Bernal stated.

On November 18, Chief Bernal reported the arrest of a man arrested with a group encountered near Brackettville, Texas. The man had a prior conviction for sexual contact with a child under the age of 11, the chief stated.

In another post, Bernal reported the arrest of a Mexican national with a prior conviction for Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child.

Other arrests included criminal aliens with convictions for indecency with a child, 1st degree rape of a minor, unlawful sexual contact with a minor, and sexual exposure to a child.

During FY23, which ended on September 30, Border Patrol agents encountered 15,267 migrants with criminal histories. This is up from 12,028 in FY22. In FY2020, President Donald Trump’s last full year in office, agents encountered only 2,438 migrants with criminal convictions.

Border Patrol encounters during the past two years (27,295) exceeds the total of the Trump-era FY17-20 (21,936) by more than 24 percent, according to reports from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

In October, agents encountered another 1,559 criminal aliens.

Sanctuary State Illinois: 7 Migrants Arrested over Thanksgiving Holiday for Robbing Hobby Lobby, Kohl’s, Macy’s

DuPage County State Attorney's Office
DuPage County State Attorney's Office

At least seven border crossers, all from Venezuela, were arrested in the sanctuary state of Illinois over the Thanksgiving holiday for allegedly shoplifting from various stores.

The first incident, days before Thanksgiving on November 16, saw 18-year-old Neikis Yeimily Salazar and 23-year-old Alexander Saul Martinez Lima arrested and each charged with one count of felony retail theft after allegedly shoplifting Christmas items at a Hobby Lobby in Deerfield, Illinois.

RELATED VIDEO — INCOMING: Caravan of Migrants Progress North Through Tapachula, Mexico, Towards U.S. Border:

According to police, the two Venezuelan border crossers entered the Hobby Lobby and loaded nearly $900 worth of Christmas items into their shopping carts before allegedly leaving the store without paying for the items.

When police responded to the report of shoplifting, the pair had been pushing the shopping carts to a nearby motel. Eventually, officers recovered 104 Christmas items that the border crossers had allegedly stolen.

After being charged, Salazar and Lima were each released from jail and are due back in court on December 29.

In a separate incident in Elmhurst, Illinois, 37-year-old Ilys Mary Ledesma Zapata, 21-year-old Christian Johan Saavedra-Omona, and 33-year-old Braud Pineda Avendano — all newly arrived border crossers from Venezuela — were arrested and each charged with one count of felony burglary and one count of retail theft.

According to DuPage County prosecutors, the three border crossers shoplifted from a Kohl’s store more than $500 worth of items on November 24. When police arrested the trio for shoplifting at the store, they recovered a large magnet device on Ledesma Zapata used to get around anti-theft technology.

Ledesma Zapata, Saavedra-Omona, and Pineda Avendano were released from jail despite DuPage County prosecutors asking them to be detained because they posed a flight risk. They are due back in court on December 13.

In a third incident, on November 25, 27-year-old Lenguieyer Guevara-Muro and 20-year-old Jinder Moises Angulo-Aparicio were arrested and each charged with one count of felony burglary and one count of retail theft after allegedly shoplifting at a Macy’s store.

The pair, both newly arrived border crossers from Venezuela, are accused of stealing nearly $800 worth of clothing from the Macy’s store and filling a foil-lined bag with the items. The border crossers then left the store but were quickly approached by officers who had to bring Guevara-Muro to the ground because he resisted arrest.

“For the second day in a row, my office has filed charges against individuals from Venezuela accused of stealing merchandise from a retail store,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement.

While Guevara-Muro remains in local custody ahead of trial, Angulo-Aparicio was released from jail and his next court date is December 18. Guevara-Muro’s next court date is December 11.

Migrants across the country are enjoying their first Thanksgiving with free feasts featuring turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing as President Joe Biden has driven illegal immigration to the United States to unprecedented levels.

In the sanctuary city of Chicago, Illinois, where tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived since summer 2022, Levy Restaurants is producing 4,000 Thanksgiving meals.

Some of those meals will go to migrants who have been living in city-run shelters as well as sleeping on police station floors and at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport.

Similarly, in the sanctuary city of Boston, Massachusetts, thousands of Haitian migrants are getting Thanksgiving feasts, according to Boston 25 News:

About 2,000 Haitian migrants celebrated their first Thanksgiving in the United States through an event organized by a local non-profit as many families are still unsure where they are going to sleep. [Emphasis added]

Immigrant Family Services Institute (IFSI) provided turkey dinners with Haitian sides including rice, beans, and fried plantains in a joyful feast at several locations across Massachusetts. [Emphasis added]

“I feel so excited. I feel at home,” said Remy Pierre at the IFSI office in Mattapan. “I feel very grateful and joyful, because, right now, we were singing together, we were dancing together. We feel the family lifestyle.” [Emphasis added]

Also, in San Diego, California, a local Catholic Church is serving Thanksgiving dinners to thousands of migrants who have recently arrived from the U.S.-Mexico border. The migrants have been living in a shelter that was built about two months ago.

“We felt like the spirit was calling us to do this,” Father Scott Santarosa, with the church, told CBS 8 News. “We’ve been asking, ‘What does it mean to be a Jesuit Catholic parish here so close to the border?’ and I think this was a way God had us answer those prayers.”

In the sanctuary city of St. Louis, Missouri, local non-profits hosted newly arrived migrants for a Thanksgiving feast. In 2022 alone, St. Louis saw an influx of about 1,000 refugees from Ukraine and Afghanistan as part of Biden’s policy initiatives.

Migrant Surge Expands in Arizona Border Sector — 58K in 28 Days

Tucson Sector Migrant Apprehensions in November (U.S. Border Patrol/Tucson Sector)
U.S. Border Patrol/Tucson Sector

Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 58,000 in the past four weeks, according to unofficial reports posted on X. This is up from 55,224 encountered during October.

Tucson Sector Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin posted a series of reports on X showing the continuing increase in the number of migrant apprehensions in his sector. During the past seven days, Modlin reported the apprehension of 15,300 migrants.

In addition to the apprehensions, his agents seized 117 pounds of fentanyl and interdicted 14 human smuggling incidents. His agents also carried out 17 migrant rescues.

The apprehensions during the prior seven-day period are up by 1,000 migrants from the previous weekly report, where Modlin said his agents encountered 14,300. The agents seized 300 pounds of fentanyl and rescued 33 migrants during that period.

One week earlier, Modlin posted a report showing the apprehension of 14,100 migrants and the rescue of 32 migrants.

During the prior seven days, agents apprehended 14,200 migrants, bringing the 28-day total to 57,900 migrant apprehensions.

The Tucson Sector continues to lead the nation in migrant apprehensions.  An official report from U.S. Customs and Border Protection detailed the apprehension of 55,224 migrants during the month of October. That number was already exceeded in November with nearly a week to go.

During FY23, which ended on September 30, Tucson sector agents apprehended 373,625 migrants. This is up by nearly 22,000 from the 251,984 migrant apprehensions during FY22.

Analysis: Over 23M Immigrants Eligible to Vote in U.S. Ahead of 2024 Election

Ahead of the highly-anticipated 2024 presidential election, more than 23 million immigrants to the United States who now have naturalized American citizenship are eligible to cast ballots, new analysis reveals.

The left-wing American Immigration Council released the analysis recently, giving a glimpse into the electoral power that the nation’s annual importation of more than a million legal immigrants has given to naturalized citizens.

“As more immigrants naturalize and become eligible to vote, they continue to gain political power,” the analysis states. “The number of immigrant voters is only projected to rise in the next decade, and in some states, foreign-born voters are already capable of deciding elections.”

Based on 2021 figures, there are more than 23 million immigrants in the U.S. who are eligible to vote ahead of next year’s election. Nearly 24 million immigrants have naturalized American citizenship.

The analysis indicates that foreign-born eligible voters will again account for about 1-in-10 of all eligible voters in 2024 — likely an unprecedented level of foreign-born eligible voters in the American electorate, giving enormous voting power to those who were not born in the U.S.

Chart via American Immigration Council

The share of the American electorate that is foreign-born is immensely significant, because presidential elections, particularly in the nation’s swing states, are decided often by small margins.

The 2020 presidential election, for instance, was decided by just seven million votes.

In Nevada, President Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump by only about 33,500 votes, as well as 10,400 votes in Arizona, nearly 11,800 votes in Georgia, about 81,600 votes in Pennsylvania, 154,000 votes in Michigan, and a little more than 20,600 votes in Wisconsin.

Foreign-born voters are overwhelmingly more likely to support Democrat presidential candidates over Republican candidates. Though the data was tracked in the 2016 election, pollsters refused to track the data in the 2020 election.

In 2016, though, failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won foreign-born voters by 64 percent compared to Trump’s 31 percent, CNN exit polls showed. Meanwhile, Trump won native-born American voters by 49 percent compared to Clinton’s 45 percent.

Put another way, if the 2016 election was up to foreign-born voters, Clinton would have beaten Trump in a historic landslide.

Chart via CNN

As Breitbart News recently reported, the nation’s foreign-born population is set to hit a record 50 million under Biden.

The overwhelming majority, about 7-in-10 legal immigrants to the U.S. arrive via the process known as “chain migration,” where newly naturalized citizens are able to sponsor an unlimited number of green cards for foreign relatives.

By 2043, the U.S. is on track to add an additional 15 million foreign-born voters to the American electorate if legal immigration levels go unreduced. About eight million of those are expected to have arrived via chain migration or for no other reason than that they have family members living in the U.S.

PROFILE OF A SOCIOPATH GAMER LAWYER:

JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes.  In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Lower wages

Because of inflation, most people are experiencing lower wages. Even if you received a raise, inflation means that you will be able to buy less with your paycheck. Today, everyone in America got a 3.16% pay cut. So it’s no surprise that Americans are having a hard time paying bills each month.

Homelessness

The U.S. is experiencing a growing homeless problem as well. The amount of chronic homelessness is climbing fast. Again, this is not because of the pandemic. They are homeless because they can’t pay their rent.

When people can’t pay rent and mortgages, they resort to living in tents on a street. During the Great Depression, a similar thing happened—people lived in massive homeless encampments called Hoovervilles, named after President Herbert Hoover. This is the very same thing. Joe Biden's policy creates homeless encampments. That’s Bidenomics!

So, think twice before voting for Biden in 2024. If you hope the situation will change for the better, it won’t. If Biden wins, the rich will continue to get richer, the poor will continue to get poorer.


Read this to your Democrat friends and family before you vote for Biden in 2024

The economy in the U.S. right now is dominated by three main things: slow growth, high inflation, and low unemployment—an unusual mix that confuses a lot of economists. (Typically, a period of slow growth comes with high unemployment.) Because of this, the best ways to tackle the economic problems are hotly debated.

The Biden administration has responded to this crisis with an approach they call “Bidenomics.” In June 2023, the White house released a memo where they’d tried to explain why it “works.” Let's summarize their approach.

Briefly speaking, Biden’s administration is promoting typical heavy tax and spending policies with a twist—it looks like “tax, spend, and borrow.” They raise people’s taxes, spend large amounts of government money, and borrow large amounts of money to pay for everything; this approach is to blame for a number of the economic problems with which we’re dealing.

Some people suggest the financial pain lingers because of the pandemic. But this is not true—Biden has been president for almost three years. The vast majority of us feel the negative impact of Bidenomics, with its key tenets listed below:

High Gas Prices

No, this is not the fault of the pandemic. In 2020, during the presidential debate, Biden stated his intentions to “transition away from the oil industry.” Promises made, promises kept, and now we are paying enormous amounts of money for gas. Supply and demand seems simple enough—limit a crucial product and the price goes up—but apparently it was too much for this woman to grasp, who blamed costs on the “religious right” Republicans:

Inflation

Gas is not the only thing going up in price. Food, housing, and everything else is becoming more expensive. Life itself is becoming unaffordable, and that comes down to the people in charge of monetary policy through a central bank. The late, great Milton Friedman explained it as such:

All that “emergency” spending for the pandemic never returned to normal—but it continues to climb higher. Biden's administration is borrowing money, causing inflation, and there’s absolutely no plan to pay it back.

Lower wages

Because of inflation, most people are experiencing lower wages. Even if you received a raise, inflation means that you will be able to buy less with your paycheck. Today, everyone in America got a 3.16% pay cut. So it’s no surprise that Americans are having a hard time paying bills each month.

Homelessness

The U.S. is experiencing a growing homeless problem as well. The amount of chronic homelessness is climbing fast. Again, this is not because of the pandemic. They are homeless because they can’t pay their rent.

When people cant pay rent and mortgages, they resort to living in tents on a street. During the Great Depression, a similar thing happened—people lived in massive homeless encampments called Hoovervilles, named after President Herbert Hoover. This is the very same thing. Joe Biden's policy creates homeless encampments. That’s Bidenomics!

So, think twice before voting for Biden in 2024. If you hope the situation will change for the better, it won’t. If Biden wins, the rich will continue to get richer, the poor will continue to get poorer.

Senate ‘Gang of Six’ Negotiates Republican Giveaway on Migration

Migrants who crossed the Rio Grande and entered the U.S. from Mexico are lined up for processing by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Sept. 23, 2023, in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Roughly 30 Republican senators are backing the House’s H.R.2 migration stabilization bill — but a gang of six senators, including three Republicans, are drafting a giveaway “compromise” bill.

“H.R.2 should be the focus,” said a policy analyst who favors pro-American migration laws, adding:

There’s no reason to preemptively surrender good border security legislation before we’re forced to negotiate [with the House]. What the Senators who are supporting that [compromise] package are doing essentially is preemptively surrendering, preemptively giving away very important pieces of H.R. 2 before they’re even being forced to do so.

“They’re negotiating with themselves” instead of with Democrats, he added.

Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and James Lankford (R-OK), are working with three Democrats to write a pretend compromise in the end-of-year budget battles over funding for Israel, Ukraine, and President Joe Biden’s border security agency, he said, adding that their plan is “not going do anything of any substance.”

The compromise legislation will likely be touted by Democrats and their media allies in January as they try to create a political stampede that will overpower Republicans’ popular demands for substantial policy change to migration laws, he said.

“Lankford is now working to turn a one-page summary of the party’s border plan into legislation,” Politico reported.


Behind closed doors, additional Republican senators are likely cooperating with the group of three.

The three Democrat-aligned senators in the group are Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO).

In 2013, Bennet joined with Graham to push the failed 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty that would have cut Americans’ wages for a decade or more.

The evidence so far is that the Gang of Six compromise includes few substantial changes in current laws, the immigration analyst said. It also appears to leave intact many of the alternative loopholes that Biden’s border deputies will use to keep importing millions of poor, desperate, indebted, and compliant migrants, he said.

But the 3o-plus cosponsors on the Senate’s version of the House bill H.R. 2 may block the stampede planned by the “Gang of Six.”

The Senate version of H.R.2 is S.2824, titled “Secure the Border Act of 2023.” It was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). It includes most major stabilization measures sought by Republican-aligned experts and the public.

The H.R.2 bill is being pushed by nearly all of the GOP House caucus, led by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). “We’re going to force the issue — and people want us to,” Johnson said.

Johnson is in a good position to get immigration concessions from Democrats because President Joe Biden needs Republican approval for the funding that he wants to give to Israel and Ukraine.

Biden also needs a funding deal to help patch over the growing and unpopular cost of moving southern migrants into the jobs and homes needed by voters in blue cities, including New York and Chicago.

Also, Democrats are realizing that Biden’s reckless migration policy is deeply unpopular nationwide.

The 32 senators backing the stabilization bill include the Republicans’ mainstream wing, such as Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Josh Hawley (S-MO), Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

The bill is also backed by Republican establishment-linked leadership, including Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. John Thune (R-SD), and even Graham, who was a leader of the 2013 “Gang of Eight” amnesty.

The bill is also backed by Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND), who drafted a last-minute, fake border-security compromise in 2013 that allowed the Gang of Eight’s amnesty bill to pass through the Senate.

The Republican bill is also backed by Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND). He is also pushing two other bills — including the Eagle Act — to allow a massive inflow of foreign workers for white-collar jobs and healthcare jobs that would otherwise go to North Dakota’s college graduates. One of his bills is backed by seven other Republican senators.

It is not clear how many of the 32 senators who support the stabilization bill have signed on for PR purposes. But at least two — Graham and Tillis — are working with Lankford and the Democrats on the compromise giveaway.

Meanwhile, multiple Democrat senators are denouncing any compromise related to asylum and other doorways, and various Latino groups claim to be boycotting the negotiations.

“We are alarmed and deeply concerned that key talks in Congress about border policies and the treatment of humanitarian migrants are happening without a single Hispanic lawmaker or ally in the room,” said Janet Murguía, president of UnidosUS told the Hill.

Biden’s economic policy of mass migration destabilizes the middle class and the economy by cutting wages, raising inflation, and spiking rents. It also crowds government aid programs, shrinks corporate investment in productivity, and diverts wages and jobs from Heartland states to coastal states and cities, such as New York.

The inflow is also spiking civic chaos, such as pro-Hamas marches and left-wing antisemitism.

But Biden’s policy is good for investors, banks, and CEOs who prefer low-cost, low-wage immigration because it helps them profit from low-productivity companies and their associated workforce of apartment-sharing, rent-spiking renters, and welfare-aided consumers.

The economic and civic damage is persuading more ordinary Americans to view migration as more of a burden than a benefit.


NYC Mayor Eric Adams Calls Biden’s Illegal Immigration Inflow ‘Unfair’ to Taxpayers amid More Budget Cuts

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 15: New York City Mayor Eric Adams participates in a flag-raising ceremony in lower Manhattan to mark India's 77th Independence Day on August 15, 2023 in New York City.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) says President Joe Biden’s inflow of border crossers and illegal aliens, by the tens of thousands every month, is “unfair” to American taxpayers.

Since the spring of 2022, about 140,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in the sanctuary city of New York City — most after having been directly released into the United States interior by Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

As a result of illegal immigration, Adams has already announced that New York City services will be cut by five percent across-the-board to deal with the rising cost of caring for and housing border crossers and illegal aliens which is expected to total $12 billion by the end of next year.

During a town hall in Coney Island, Brooklyn this week, Adams called illegal immigration “unfair” to “everyday taxpayers.”

“I want to pass a budget that adds cops, I want to pass a budget that allows us to have more after-school programs, senior care, and infrastructure building, that’s the budget I want. And so when people look at what’s happening in this city, we all are angry,” Adams said.

“And I tell people all the time when they stop me on the subway system, ‘Don’t yell at me, yell at DC, yell at DC.’ We deserve better as a city,” he continued.

On Tuesday, Adams announced more budget cuts, asking city officials to find $2.1 billion that they can cut but said he will spare police, fire, and sanitation services.

According to Adams, New York City has a whopping $7.1 billion budget shortfall because of illegal immigration over the last nearly two years. Adams, as well as other sanctuary city mayors, have pleaded with Biden for a $5 billion bailout but the White House has yet to make any such move.

NYC: Illegal Immigrant ‘Sanctuary’ Sees Homeless Population Surge as Busloads from Texas Continue to Arrive

New York City’s homeless population is surging thanks, in part, to the continued arrival of busloads of illegal immigrants from Texas being sent to the self-proclaimed “sanctuary.”

In the city’s Fiscal Year (FY) ending June 30, the homeless population increased 73%, rising from 46,675 in FY2022 to 80,724 in FY2023, according to statistics published last month in a financial report by the city’s comptroller.

“More than 22,000 asylum seekers applied for shelter through DHS as of April 2023,” the comptroller said in an August review of the city’s homeless situation, apparently counting all migrants as “asylum seekers.”

Last week, migrants set up camp in front of the mayor’s residence, to protest the time limit on how long they can live in one of the city’s shelters, regional network Spectrum News NY 1 reports:

“On Thursday, dozens of protestors set up tents and sleeping bags outside of Gracie Mansion, blasting the city’s recent restrictions on the length of time migrants can stay in shelters before they have to reapply for housing.”

The city currently has a 30-day shelter limit for adults and a 60-day limit for families.

In a September press release warning of the financial burden of actually having to be a sanctuary, Democrat New York City Mayor estimated that approximately 10,000 “asylum” seekers are “still arriving each month.”

The comptroller’s review says the city’s shelter system has been “overwhelmed” by the surge in immigration that began in 2022 when Texas – which was already being overwhelmed by illegal immigration – began busing immigrants to the “sanctuary” New York City had promised them:

“In October 2022, at the peak of the surge in migrants seeking asylum, DHS reported the highest-ever number of homeless people living within the shelter system.

“DHS stated that starting in April 2022, the State of Texas began sending buses of migrant asylum seekers to New York City. Buses arrived unannounced and unscheduled, and the people on them—most of whom had crossed into the United States via the southern border—were in need of shelter and care.

“By April 4, 2023, 22,002 asylum seeker households had applied for shelter through DHS. In response, the City opened 135 emergency sites between June 2022 and May 2023 for asylum seekers.

“The City shelter system was overwhelmed by this surge. The shelter population reached its highest-ever daily population by October 5, 2022, with over 61,000 people recorded. Although other City agencies have since stepped in to help shoulder part of this burden, the number of people in DHS shelters continued to grow. On March 1, 2023, the daily population in DHS shelters reached 70,848 people.”

On Friday, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott reported that his state has bused more than 22,800 migrants to New York City since August of 2022, as part of the multi-agency border security measure, Operation Lone Star.

To deal with the staggering cost of the immigrant surge, Mayor Adams has announced the city is reducing its number of police and making across-the-board budget cuts:

“[M]ake no mistake: Migrant costs are going up, tax revenue growth is slowing and COVID stimulus funding is drying up.”

New York City’s migrant crisis will cost nearly $11billion over two fiscal years and its FY2025 budget gap is expected to “surpass unprecedented $7 billion,” the mayor’s press release estimates.


Migrants Get Free Turkeys for Thanksgiving Ahead of Low-Income New Yorkers

Low-income New Yorkers living in public housing say newly arrived migrants have been first in line for free turkeys ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, as public resources are strained from illegal immigration.

According to local reports and interviews, New Yorkers living in public housing are competing against tens of thousands of newly arrived migrants to New York City when it comes to meals this Thanksgiving.

“Why do we have to take the butt of everything,” New Yorker Georgia Butler told FOX5 New York in an interview. “This community is already suffering.”

“[The migrants] were first in line for the turkeys this morning,” Butler continued. “They tell you to be there at 11 o’clock. You get there at like 10:30, 10:45, but they are already out there. The line is from over there to over here.”

According to FOX5 New York, New Yorkers living in public housing have seen some 8,000 migrants move into their neighborhoods after having arrived at the United States-Mexico border and being released into the nation’s interior.

Already, low-income New Yorkers are dealing with strained resources. This week, city officials said they would offer $15 gift cards to those in public housing who have been forced to go without gas to cook meals for months.

In addition, Mayor Eric Adams has announced billions in budget cuts for New Yorkers after the city spent nearly $1.5 billion in just the last year on newly arrived migrants. By the end of next year, the city is projected to spend $12 billion on migrants.

Food Bank Demand Surges After Americans Hit with Inflation

The demand for local food banks is on the rise as soaring prices impact average Americans under President Joe Biden.

The increasing demand for food banks demonstrates how soaring inflation driven by “Bidenomics” negatively impacts lower income families.

“We are seeing unprecedented demand,” Jackie DeCarlo, chief executive of Manna Food Center, told the Washington Post on Monday.

Food bank demand rose dramatically in the last few months:

  • Manna Food Center provided food to 5,781 families in October, surpassing its monthly high during the pandemic.
  • Food for Others, another local food bank, distributed 30 percent more food in 2023 than in 2022. It serves about 200 to 250 people daily, according to communications coordinator Hannah Brockway.
  • Capital Area Food Bank distributed 31 percent more food since July 1, president and CEO Radha Muthiah said.

Soaring inflation impacted most Americas for years under Biden:

  • 32 percent of locals did not have enough to eat in 2023, compared to 33 percent in 2022, a report by Capital Area Food Bank found.

Many of those Americans are forced to look for alternative ways to feed their families.

Katherine Charles, a 40-year-old single mother, said Biden’s inflation made it more difficult for her to feed her family. Her young children “are at the age they are eating everything in front of them,” she told the Associated Press.

“My son loves red meat,” Charles added. “We cannot any longer afford it the way we used to. The economy’s not getting better for nobody, especially not for me.”

Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research polling shows that about 75 percent of respondents said Biden’s economy is “poor,” while two-thirds said expenses spiked. Just one-quarter said their income rose to cover the extra costs.

Report: Majority of U.S. Adults Living Paycheck to Paycheck

The majority of U.S. adults are living paycheck to paycheck heading into this holiday season, a report shows.

LendingClub’s latest report shows that as of October, 60 percent of adults said they are living paycheck to paycheck. Around 40 percent of consumers consider themselves to be worse off now than in 2022. 

Even higher earners are struggling to get by, with 42 percent of those making six figures also living check-to-check under President Joe Biden.

According to a separate CNBC survey, the number of adults struggling to save between checks is up from 58 percent in March.

More than a third of consumers are planning to dip into their savings to cover holiday spending, LendingClub also found.


“While consumers have found a way to manage through inflation, it’s concerning that many plan to tap into savings, and even exceed their budgets, to finance their holiday purchases, which may leave them vulnerable to an unexpected emergency,” said Alia Dudum, LendingClub’s money expert.

The LendingClub report also revealed 43 percent of consumers who are living paycheck to paycheck and “struggling to pay bills” are planning to use credit for holiday shopping.

Consumers are steadily adopting the “mentality of hyper-consumption,” said Jacqueline Howard, head of money wellness at Ally financial services.

“Hyper-consumption comes from not being mindful,” she added. “Consider what makes the most sense in terms of your well-being.”

Even as credit card debt tops $1 trillion, nearly all shoppers will overspend their holiday budget, a TD Bank survey found. 

 

The report, released last week, revealed that 96 percent of over 2,000 responding shoppers said they expect to overspend this season.

“With economic concerns top of mind for consumers throughout the year, planning ahead can help prevent some of the financial stress that holiday shopping can place on them,” said Matt Boss, Head of Consumer Products at TD Bank. “Setting a holiday budget and sticking to it is the first step that shoppers can take to maintain their peace of mind this holiday season.”

The survey also found that members of Generation Z are “among the best budgeters of all this holiday season,” with 81 percent of Gen-Zers saying they are considering making a holiday budget this year to keep track of their finances, compared to 77 percent of Millennials and just 59 percent of Baby Boomers. 

“Gen-Z is also the most likely to plan for their season of giving, with [66 percent] citing that they set aside money year-round in anticipation of increased holiday spending,” the report added.

Group of 500 Migrants Flood into Texas Border Town

EAGLE PASS, Texas — More than 500 migrants in a single group stormed across the Rio Grande River into Eagle Pass, Texas, in a single group earlier this week. The group consisted of Venezuelan, Colombian, and Central American migrants.

Law enforcement authorities on both sides of the border were unable to keep the migrants from crossing into the small border town, where they were turned over to the Border Patrol for processing on Wednesday afternoon.

Most of the group consisted of adult males and females. A few families could also be seen with some adults carrying small children on their shoulders.

Efrain Gonzalez, a local reporter in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, captured the chaotic scene from the banks of the Rio Grande in Mexico. In a posting on X, Gonzalez asked the migrants where they were from, with many claiming to be Venezuelan and Central American migrants.

As the group entered the river, many complained about conditions in Mexico and the treatment they received from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM) while in the country. The video shows the large group of migrants stretching from the Mexican river bank to the United States side in Eagle Pass.

According to a source within CBP, not authorized to speak to the media, the initial count of migrants taken into custody by the Border Patrol was slightly more than 500. The source said authorities believed an additional 100 migrants were staged in Mexico and prepared to cross later in the evening.

The source told Breitbart Texas the group was taken to a soft-sided processing facility north of Eagle Pass. The facility, according to the source, is almost three times over its capacity to hold 1,000 migrant detainees. Most of the migrants will be released to pursue asylum claims in the United States.

The Del Rio Sector of the Border Patrol, which includes the city of Eagle Pass, is the second busiest for migrant crossings along the southwest border. In October, more than 38,000 migrants were apprehended crossing the Rio Grande into the sector. Wednesday’s large migrant group crossing was the largest encountered since September, when more than 45,000 migrants landed in the busy Texas sector.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, a significant surge of migrant crossings into Eagle Pass overwhelmed authorities, with one single migrant group numbering more than 2,000 crossing into the small border city. The surge that lasted for several weeks in September outpaced the number of mostly Haitian migrants apprehended in Del Rio, Texas in September of 2021.

The increase in migrant crossings captured the attention of X social media platform owner Elon Musk and GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, both of whom visited the small Texas border city as a result.

Greg Abbott: ‘You Need a New President’ as He Endorses Donald Trump

Abbott Endorses Trump
Randy Clark/Breitbart Texas

EDINGURG, Texas  — Texas Governor Greg Abbott endorsed former President Donald Trump in his race to become the Republican nominee for President of the United States.

“You need a new president,” Abbott said to the mayors of New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. on Sunday. “Joe Biden has failed at national security. We need a president that will secure the border.”

“We need Donald J. Trump back as our president of the United States of America. We need a president who is going to secure the border,” Abbott said. “I’m here today to officially proclaim my endorsement for Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States of America, again.”

Joe Biden is causing a potential terror threat in the United States of America,” Abbott said at the event referencing the number of migrant gotaways and those apprehended and identified as being on the terrorist watch list. “A president has one ultimate responsibility and that’s national security. Joe Biden has failed at national security. Well, I’m here to tell you that there is no way, no way that America can continue under the leadership of Joe Biden as our president.”

Trump responded, saying to Abbott, “I am going to make your job much easier. We love Texas.”

“You’re not going to have to worry about the border anymore, governor,” Trump stated. “You’re not going to have to worry about the border in Texas or Arizona or anywhere else.”

The former president added, “You’ll be able to focus on other things in Texas.”

Trump told the audience the nod from Abbott was “a big endorsement.”

“This has meant a lot to me, the former president explained. Abbott is “not free and easy with endorsements.”

Shortly before the endorsement event, President Trump and Governor Abbott served an early Thanksgiving lunch to the Texas DPS troopers and National Guardsmen who are assigned to the Operation Lone Star border security mission.

“They should not be here at this time,” Abbott told the audience. “They should be at home. The only reason why they are here is because we have a president of the United States of America who is not securing our border.”

The endorsement came as President Trump and Governor Abbott served tamales to Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and National Guard Soldiers and Airmen in a pre-Thanksgiving meal. The troopers and Guardsmen are assigned to border security duty under Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.

Abbott becomes the fifth governor to endorse the former president during the 2024 Republican primary and joins Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, Attorney General Ken Paxton, Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, and Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller on the growing list of Texas statewide elected officials.

Then-President Trump received 52 percent of the vote during his 2020 presidential race against Joe Biden. Trump captured nearly 5.6 million votes in the Lone Star State.

Border issues were a key factor in the Texas election of 2020. During Fiscal Year 2020, President Trump’s last full year in office, Border Patrol agents encountered just over 400,000 migrants. Under the Biden administration’s border and immigration policies, agents encountered just over 407.000 migrants just in the past two months, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection Southwest Land Border Encounters Reports.

The governor’s endorsement followed an early Thanksgiving dinner served to DPS troopers and Texas National Guardsmen by the governor and President Trump.

Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council told the audience attending the speech that President Trump shook every hand and took photos with every trooper and guardsman who came to him during the luncheon.

Census Bureau: No End in Sight to Record-Breaking Immigration

The onset of World War I would soon lessen the flow, however, and restrictive legislation passed in the 1920s kept immigration low for the next four decades. The years 1890 and 1910 stood as the high-water marks of immigration in the U.S. — until now. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the foreign-born share hit roughly 15 percent in August.

Mexican President AMLO Praises ‘Extraordinary’ Joe Biden for ‘Humane’ Catch and Release Policy at Border

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty Images

Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called President Joe Biden an “extraordinary president” on Friday and praised the administration’s expansive Catch and Release network at the United States-Mexico border.

During a meeting between Biden and AMLO at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Conference in San Francisco, California, the Mexican president called Biden a “good man” who has been an “extraordinary president” for the U.S., according to the Associated Press.

Among the issues Biden and AMLO discussed was illegal immigration.

AMLO heaped more praise on Biden for the administration’s Catch and Release network that releases tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities — rather than turning them back to Mexico — through a variety of programs.

According to AMLO, the policy is “a humane way to address the migration phenomenon.”

One of Biden’s programs to get border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior is a migrant mobile app where foreign nationals in Mexico can actually schedule appointments at the border to be released.

As Breitbart News reported this week, the migrant mobile app has helped free more than 350,000 foreign nationals into American communities since January of this year. This is a foreign population three times the size of Manchester, New Hampshire, twice the size of Santa Rosa, California, and approaching the size of Cleveland, Ohio.

In addition, thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens are released monthly into the U.S. interior through a parole pipeline opened by Biden.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General (IG) estimates the agency is freeing more than 60,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior every month. Over the course of a year, this indicates that Biden’s DHS is releasing into American communities over 720,000 border crossers and illegal aliens.

AMLO has previously applauded Biden. In January of this year, for example, AMLO told Biden “thank you” in regard to the administration’s halting all border wall construction.

Mexican Arkancide?

 

https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5440581937224467578#allposts/postNum=0

 

By Monica Showalter

 

Sometimes, the coincidences get just too...coincidental.

Now we have, in Mexico, the sudden helicopter crash of a newly elected governor, after an apparently very bitter election.  Here's the Globe and Mail report:

A Mexican governor and her senator husband were killed on Monday in a helicopter crash near the city of Puebla in central Mexico, the government said, just days after she had taken office following a bitterly contested election.

Martha Erika Alonso, a senior opposition figure and governor of the state of Puebla, died with Rafael Moreno, a senator and former Puebla governor, when their Agusta helicopter came down on Monday afternoon shortly after take-off, the government said.

This seems to happen a lot in Mexico, quite unlike any comparable place in the region that I know of.

A number of Mexican politicians have died in aircraft accidents in recent years, including federal interior ministers in 2008 and 2011.  The latter two were also members of the PAN.

Maybe it was just the wildest of coincidences, but given the savage character of Mexican politics, I think it's natural to be a little suspicious.  In most of these incidents, the motive is suspected but not utterly obvious.  This one is different: it came after a bitterly contested election that the rabid left says was stolen.  It sounds like the sort of fury we saw from the left when Trump won – except that now we see Mexican politics at play, potentially a straight-up assassination, possibly by the embittered left.

Mexico sees a lot of these helicopter downings, and what's more, it sees a lot of full blown assassinations.  A presidential candidate from before Mexico got into multi-party politics, Luis Donaldo Colosio, was straight-out assassinated in 1994, and his wife died under murky circumstances shortly after that.  Other elected officials have been gunned down or else died in mysterious car crashes.  There was definitely one of those in Michoacán.  Yes, some probably were the work of drug-dealers.  But others were far more likely to be Mexico's toxic politics.  It does happen.

Yet the Mexican government can get real touchy when you bring up any suspicions about the helicopter crash phenomenon.  I remember how furious Mexico City's response was to an actually sympathetic editorial I wrote for Investor's Business Daily, I think in 2008, when a Mexican official was similarly killed in a helicopter crash.  At the time, they were obviously worried about the potential impact on foreign investment, but my thought was to praise the Mexicans for their resolve and sacrifice in fighting drug lords.  That's not the way they think over there.

Why does it matter?  Well, because the U.S. under President Trump is trying hard to get along with the new Mexican administration, run by the leftist Andrés Manuel López-Obrador.  His followers are the top suspects in this mysterious helicopter crash, which, if the investigation leads anywhere, is likely to cast a Putinesque pall over López-Obrador just as it gets its grounding.  Prepare for relations to deteriorate if that grows as a backstory. 

Perhaps even more, it matters because Mexico's politics seems to be the model for Democratic Party politics these days as rage over Trump dominates.  In California, ballot-harvesting has been adopted as a legal practice, in what's a straight-out cultural appropriation of Mexican politics.  If the Democrats are planning to make themselves the "perfect dictatorship" along the PRI model of one-party rule, starting in California and taking that style national, well, the unhappy question is, what else are they borrowing from Mexican politics as they (without saying so, of course) borrow from the Mexican Model?  Yes, it sounds far-fetched.  But we also know how implacably angry the Democrats still are at the election of Donald Trump and how they like to get away with things.

President Lopez-Obrador and the Wall

 

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/12/president_lopezobrador_and_the_wall.html

 

By Silvio Canto, Jr.

Over the last few years, I've had conversations with friends in Mexico.  We usually end up talking about the border.  For us, the border is illegal immigration.  For Mexicans, it's guns and cash corrupting a very fragile political system.

As a Mexican friend said recently, the cartels have the politicians in their pockets, especially in the small towns where many of these vans full of cash and guns drive through.

There are many reasons to build that border wall, as former Secretary of Education William Bennett said on Sunday:   

By weight, 86 percent of heroin that entered the United States in 2016 was of Mexican origin, according statistics from the Drug Enforcement Administration.

"After 9/11 we shut down the border. When we shut down the border, drugs didn't come in," Bennett said. "If you shut down that border, if you close it off, if you build a wall, it can have a real and profound difference."

There is another reason, as any rational Mexican will tell you.

On a weekly basis, lots of cash and guns go south.  They are the profits and rewards of the drugs going north.  According to unofficial estimates:  

Officials in Mexico believe the tide of laundered money could be as high as $50bn per year, a sum equal to about three per cent of Mexico's legitimate economy -- more than all its oil exports or spending on key social programmes. Internationally, money laundering represents between two and five per cent of global GDP, or between $800bn and $2tn annually, according to the UNODC.

It would be more difficult for money or guns to go south if you had a wall on the border.  

So President Trump should pick up the phone and call President Lopez-Obrador.  He should thank him for keeping the caravans in Mexico and discuss the benefits of the border wall.  Why wouldn't the Mexican president support the wall?  I'm sure that the Mexican army and police would love to see that wall go up.

The lack of a stable border hurts both sides.

DANGEROUS: Biden Casts Doubt on Polls, Laying Groundwork To Delegitimize 2024 Election

American democracy under assault

(Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)
November 9, 2023

What's happening: There's still a long way to go before Election Day in 2024, but President Joe Biden is already dismissing polls that show him losing to Donald Trump as inaccurate, raising the specter that if he loses next November he will argue the election was not legitimate.

• Biden on Thursday rebuffed questions about recent polling from respected mainstream outfits that show him trailing Trump in several key states. "You don't believe you're trailing in battleground states?" asked one reporter during a press gaggle outside the White House. "No, I don't," Biden replied.

• The president is immensely unpopular. Biden's job approval numbers are underwater even in deep-blue states such as California. Just 39 percent of Americans approve of his job performance, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released last week.

Why it matters: This is dangerous. Biden's refusal to accept the results of these polls—conducted in part by the esteemed and unassailable journalists at the New York Times—is a dog whistle to his extremist supporters that threatens the very principles on which our cherished democracy was founded.

• Biden's strategy is clear: Convince his base—comprising associate professors, multiple home owners, corporate lawyers, and suburban wine moms—that it is not possible for him to lose a fair and legitimate election in 2024. Therefore, if he loses, it must be, by definition, illegitimate.

• Most of Biden's radical supporters suffered irreversible brain damage after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, and many of them continue to believe that election was "rigged" by Russian teenagers who hacked into voting machines and changed the results.

Crucial context: The Democratic Party has a long history of refusing to accept the results of free and fair elections. Hillary, for example, has repeatedly described Trump as an "illegitimate president" and suggested the 2016 election was "stolen" from her. Stacey Abrams still claims to have "won" the 2018 gubernatorial election in Georgia, which she refused to concede after not winning.

• Democrats have alleged foul play in every single presidential election won by a Republican dating back to 2000.

Bottom line: Biden's gaslighting, clearly intended to set the stage for full-blown election denial, is a heat-seeking missile aimed at the heart of the U.S. Constitution and the patriotic pillars of the American democratic experiment. We are literally shaking right now.

Joe Biden touts Gavin Newsom for president, forgetting all about Kamala Harris back home

So what was the atmosphere like at the Naval Observatory, home of Vice President Kamala Harris, last night? I imagine they could see some stars.

According to the New York Post:

President Biden openly touted California Gov. Gavin Newsom as a hot contender for the White House — telling world leaders the younger man “could have the job I’m looking for,” referring to his 2024 re-election bid.

“I want to thank him. He’s been one hell of a governor, man,” Biden, who turns 81 next week, said of the 56-year-old fellow Democrat after Newsom warmed up the crowd for him at a reception for leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in San Francisco.

“Matter of fact, he can be anything he wants — he could have the job I’m looking for,” said Biden, who is the Democratic Party’s front-runner for the 2024 nomination.

Which is quite a slight to Harris, who has presidential ambitions of her own. 

It's effectively an endorsement, Biden picking Harris's best political pal (up until now) to be his successor presumably after 2024, as if Biden could actually win re-election in 2024.

President Obama was often looked upon in askance for his hesitance to support Joe Biden for president, claiming that he would make his endorsement after the Democrat primaries. That was billed as good politics, given that anyone could have taken the nomination at that point and Obama wanted to be on the side of the winner.

But it also amounted to a vote of no confidence in Joe Biden, his faithful, loyal, dog-like vice president, who would do anything Obama wanted."You don't have to do this, Joe," Obama reportedly counseled Biden when he was contemplating his run. When all that came out, we 'got' why Obama didn't want to endorse Joe but didn't want to openly call him a clown, either.

Biden has roughly the same problem with the incompetent Kamala, but not Obama's snake-like capacity to slither between repudiating her for her incompetence and wholeheartedly endorsing her, despite her dog-like loyalty to Biden, comparable to Biden's to Obama.

Instead, Biden just endorsed Kamala's old long-time politically ally and rival from their San Francisco days, Gavin Newsom, which to Harris, has to feel like a wet towel in the face.

One wonders what the blowback will be from the Kamala camp, insofar as she has loyalists, which admittedly aren't many . Will it be leaks? A tell-all about Joe's senility, bathroom issues, and tendency to fall asleep in meetings? A rousting of black voters brimming with new concessions from Joe? Nasty leaks about Newsom and his past? It could be anything. What we do know from this is that Kamala has the motive now to strike back and based on her past sneaky behavior with leaks against rivals, she probably will.

"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f*** things up," as Obama reportedly said.

Get out the popcorn.

 Perhaps even more, it matters because Mexico's politics seems to be the model for Democratic Party politics these days as rage over Trump dominates.  In California, ballot-harvesting has been adopted as a legal practice, in what's a straight-out cultural appropriation of Mexican politics.  If the Democrats are planning to make themselves the "perfect dictatorship" along the PRI model of one-party rule, starting in California and taking that style national, well, the unhappy question is, what else are they borrowing from Mexican politics as they (without saying so, of course) borrow from the Mexican Model?  Yes, it sounds far-fetched.  But we also know how implacably angry the Democrats still are at the election of Donald Trump and how they like to get away with things.

IDEN PARTNERS WITH MEXICO TO ORCHESTRATE ANOTHER MASSIVE MEX INVASION OF DEM VOTING ILLEGALS.

https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2020/11/the-biden-amnesty-and-mexicos-planned.html

"Mexican president candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States, declaring it a "human right". We will defend all the (Mexican) invaders in the American," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life, job, welfare, and free medical in the United States."

"Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has 

previously proposed granting AMNESTY TO MEXICAN DRUG 

CARTELS. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s

a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added."

 

"Many Americans forget is that our country is located against a socialist failed state that is promising to descend even further into chaos – not California, the other one. And the Mexicans, having reached the bottom of the hole they have dug for themselves, just chose to keep digging by electing a new leftist presidente who wants to surrender to the cartels and who thinks that Mexicans have some sort of “human right” to sneak into the U.S. and demographically reconquer it." KURT SCHLICHTER

As in 2016, Democrats advance a corrupt ruling-class candidate. Like the dead man Gary Ernst, Democrats want people to vote for Joe Biden so they can swap him out for Kamala Harris, already a beneficiary of voter fraud and with the exception of Xavier Becerra possibly the worst attorney general in California history.

Kamala Harris Urges Illegal Migrants to Help Elect Joe Biden

NEIL MUNRO

Sen. Kamala Harris promised Sunday to reduce detention space for migrants as she asked an illegal immigrant activist to help Joe Biden win the election.

BLOG EDITOR: WHY DIDN’T LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS TELL THE ILLEGAL TO GO HOME??? SHE’S THE ONE WHO AS ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CA DECLARED THAT NEARLY HALF THE MURDERS IN MEXIFORNIA ARE BY MEX GANGS!

“I’m undocumented … I can’t vote …What can we do during this election to help make sure that we get you elected?” asked Astrid Silva, who was brought into the United States as a child by her illegal migrant parents.

“You can tell people who can vote what life is like for you now, and what life can be like,” Vice President nominee Harris told the Nevada-based political organizer who runs the pro-amnesty Dream Big Nevada group, adding that:

We are committed to shutting down private detention centers and ending policies that have been about separating children from their parents at the border.

Harris’s comments may be a coded message to would-be illegal migrants and their supportive legal-immigrant relatives.

For example, if implemented, Harris’s promise to start “shutting down private detention centers” could cripple border enforcement. If the enforcement agency does not have commercial prisons to hold detainees prior to their asylum hearings, the agency would be forced to release waves of job-seeking migrants into the U.S. labor market.

Similarly, Harris’s promise to end “policies … about separating children” echoes the media-magnified demand by pro-migration activists that officials release migrant mothers and children when they cross the border. That demand would let migrant families freely travel to relatives — including their illegal migrant husbands and fathers — who are working illegally in the United States.

Last week in Nevada, I caught up with my friend @Astrid_NV, to discuss the Biden-Harris plan for immigration reform and how Dreamers can make a difference in this election.

If you're eligible to vote, show up at the ballot box for those who can't: https://t.co/VbrfuqVy9Ppic.twitter.com/knU2qFSYmn

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) November 1, 2020

Like Biden, Harris pushed the Cold War “Nation of Immigrants” claim, even though only about 10 percent of people in the United States are legal immigrants:

We want to have a president who understands we are a nation of immigrants. This is a country that was built and that has derived its strength from immigrants coming here over the generations.

Harris also tried to blur the legal and civic differences between illegal migrants, legal immigrants, and American citizens. For example, she told Silva:

Define who you are, and you tell the world who you are. Don’t let anybody ever put you in a box because they have a limited perspective on who can do what and who can be one.

[…]

We are all in this together. And so, chin up, shoulders back, right? We speak our truth and know that there will always be people applauding and supporting that even if you can’t see them at that one moment, know that there are so many of us who are supporting your leadership and the power of your voice. It’s really important.

Harris also claimed President Donald Trump vilified immigrants: “We’ve seen under the current president the kind of vitriol, the kind of hate, the vilification of immigrants in such a horrible way.”

But a Washington Post poll showed in April that Latinos are the strongest advocates for a near-total halt to legal immigration during the coronavirus epidemic and economic crash.

Biden’s 2020 plan promises to “reassert America’s commitment to asylum-seekers and refugees,” wipe out Trump’s asylum reforms, bar any deportations for 100 days, and end migration enforcement against illegal aliens unless they commit a felony.

Joe Biden’s asylum and open-border policies will destroy the American middle class by releasing millions of foreign migrants into the United States, Stephen Miller told reporters October 28. https://t.co/BaeLSIud7y

— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) October 28, 2020

Biden also wants to let companies import more visa workers, let mayors import temporary workers, and allow an unlimited flow of foreign graduates through U.S. universities into white-collar jobs. Biden would “exempt from any cap [the] recent graduates of Ph.D. programs in STEM fields.”

Biden also wants to accelerate the inflow of chain migration migrants and dramatically accelerate the inflow of poor refugees to at least 125,000 per year.

“The influx of low wage workers from all across the world will drive down incomes, drive down wages, deplete the middle class, bankrupt Social Security, bankrupt Medicare, bankrupt Medicaid, bankrupt federal entitlements, overcrowd schools, and overcrowd every hospital in the middle of a pandemic,” White House aide Stephen Miller told reporters on October 28.

“It is an assault on reason, it is an assault on law enforcement, and it’s an assault on the very idea of having a country, having a Republic,” Miller added. “This is not about left or right or Center. This is about between having a country, or not even having a country.”

Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant

Welfare


https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/04/study-more-than-7-in-10-california-immigrant-households-are-on-welfare/

 

More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.

The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.

Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by native-born Americans use welfare in California.

All four states with the largest foreign-born populations, including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of native-born households in Texas are on welfare.

In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born households use welfare.

President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.

The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

As Breitbart News reported, the majority of the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native-born American household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.

Liberal California Emigrants are Toxic

By R. Quinn Kennedy

When Arizona, a state that has historically leaned conservative, was won by Joe Biden and now-senator Mark Kelly this week, very few were taken by surprise. Extensive polling indicated Arizona was ripe for swinging liberal and in this instance, at least, the polling was correct.

The question is why? Why has a state that held two elected Republican senators as recently as 2018 and which held a dependable stable of electoral votes for GOP presidential candidates become a purple state on its way to becoming solidly blue? Have Arizona residents suddenly awaked to the idea that liberal policies and doctrines are more sensible than conservative ones? Hardly.

The answer regarding Arizona’s swing lies in its neighbor to the west, California. Since 2012, California has overwhelmingly sent more transplants to Arizona than any other state. When surveyed, escaping Californians cite high taxes, high crime rates, unaffordable housing, out-of-control homelessness, and high unemployment rates as their top reasons for fleeing.

Who is responsible for creating such an alarming living environment within the state? California liberals. A November, 2020 report produced by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University stated that California has 395,608 regulatory restrictions. The sheer volume and scope of California regulations creates such a compliance nightmare that they kill entire industries, send housing prices to unattainable heights, and restrict even commonplace liberties for which conservative leaning states are known.

Piled onto California’s endless river of regulations are its nonsensical laws and policies. Twenty major metropolitan cities or counties in California have established laws, ordinances, regulations, or other practices that shield illegal immigrants from prosecution after committing a crime. These counties brazenly safeguard illegal immigrant criminals against deportation either through noncompliance or by refusing to hand them over to federal agencies such as ICE. With over $1.5 trillion in state and local government debt, California effectively has little money to spare for conveniences such as criminal incarceration. What do sanctuary cities and counties see as the alternative to handing illegal immigrant criminals over for deportation? Release them back into the general population, of course.

Consider this: Between 2014 and 2017, the FBI reported that 49 states saw an average increase in crime annually of around 3%. After implementing “humane” alternatives to criminal prosecution, California crime increased more than 12% per year over the same time period. With irrational sanctuary policies that send a clear message of little to no consequence for offenses, is it any wonder California’s crime rate is now spiraling out of control?

Arizona is not the only beneficiary of the California exodus. The Colorado State Demography Office has published an active flow map of people moving into the state from 2010 on. Disturbingly, the state sending the most movers to Colorado since then has consistently been California. As recently as 2004, Colorado had the political trifecta of a Republican governor and a Republican-controlled House and Senate. A short ten years later, all three had turned irrevocably Democrat. The subsequent consequence? A drastic increase in state and local regulations, a dramatic increase in violent crimes, a severe shortage of home inventory and affordable housing, and a staggering increase in homelessness. Do these newfound troubles sound familiar to any other state mentioned here? The only safeguard against out-of-control tax hikes in Colorado is the TABOR Amendment passed by voters 1992, prior to the influx of California residents, that requires taxpayer approval for any new tax. Not surprisingly, emboldened liberals in Colorado are vigorously resolute in repealing this tax hike protection. As of the most recent election they are unsuccessful, yet remain undeterred.

What has coincided with Colorado’s decline? The mass inflow of Californians to the state. Californians have brought with them all the very same liberal doctrines and ideologies that forced their flight from California in the first place. Does this dissuade liberal Californians from shaping Colorado into the very image of California? Not in the least.

If there is any hope for Arizona, it is that they might learn from the resulting ruin of Colorado, however unlikely.

In the 2020 election, Texas was startlingly considered in play for liberals. Since 2015, which state has contributed the most emigrants into Texas? Not surprisingly, the state of California. The hope for liberals is that they can turn Texas into the next purple soon-to-be blue state. The coveted prize is Texas’ electoral votes. Even more insidious, if liberals are able to capture Texas as they have done in Colorado and Arizona, they will force the state to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. They will then achieve their ultimate goal of a Democrat president reigning over the United States for endless generations until the point our country experiences the same collapse as other great civilizations throughout world history.

The obvious question is this: How can Texas avoid the same fate as states such as Colorado and Arizona? Simple. By being proactive.

It is much easier for liberals to enact new legislation than to argue for the removal of existing laws. With this in mind, Texas should take advantage of their current Republican-controlled Senate, House, and governor’s office by making haste and passing laws that would limit the future incursion of liberal meddling. Texas can presently enact laws that prohibit sanctuary cities, require voter approval to remove the state’s mandated balanced budget, require that any new regulation must necessitate the removal of an existing one, and compel voter approval of each new local or state tax including non-user fees. While such laws may only serve to stem the liberal takeover of the state, they would be roadblocks making it much more difficult for ideological infiltration in areas that affect inhabitant’s liberties and quality of life.

It would be absurd to suppose Californians have malintent. Rather, they are simply following the course with which they are most familiar while being blissfully ignorant of the negative unintended consequences their political ideology brings. To suggest that any act of suppression, aggression, or intimidation towards Californians moving into red states is acceptable would simply be un-American and subject to the same type of hypocrisy liberals practice. If conservatives stoop to their level, we have lost the battle and, perhaps, the war.

However, by taking aggressive legislative action in states that have not yet succumbed to liberal infiltration, Conservatives will effectively be planting our flag in a defiant refusal to hand over our institutions and our liberty.

A DACA amnesty would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known as “anchor babies” — on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported, while American taxpayers would be left potentially with a $26 billion bill.

Additionally, about one-in-five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps, while at least one-in-seven would go on Medicaid. JOHN BINDER

 

THE NEW PRIVILEGED CLASS: Illegals!

This is why you work From Jan - May paying taxes to the government ....with the rest of the calendar year is money for you and your family.

Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, with his fake Social Security number, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200..... free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

He qualifies for food stamps.

He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.

Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.

He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.

Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.

He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.

Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after Paying their bills and his.

The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

study by Tom Wong of the University of California at San Diego discovered that more than 25 percent of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens in the program have anchor babies. That totals about 200,000 anchor babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens. This does not include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified illegal aliens. JOHN BINDER

As Breitbart News has reported, U.S. households headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare of households headed by native-born Americans.

Simultaneously, illegal immigration next year is on track to soar to the highest level in a decade, with a potential 600,000 border crossers expected.

 

“More than 750 million people want to migrate to another country permanently, according to Gallup research published Monday, as 150 world leaders sign up to the controversial UN global compact which critics say makes migration a human right.”  VIRGINIA HALE


For example, a DACA amnesty would cost American taxpayers about $26 billion, more than the border wall, and that does not include the money taxpayers would have to fork up to subsidize the legal immigrant relatives of DACA illegal aliens.

 Every illegal alien, over the course of their lifetime, costs American taxpayers about $70,000, Center for Immigration Studies Director of Research Steve Camarota says.

During an interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily, Camarota said his research has revealed the enormous financial burden that illegal immigration has on America’s working and middle class taxpayers in terms of public services, depressed wages, and welfare.

“In a person’s lifetime, I’ve estimated that an illegal border crosser might cost taxpayers … maybe over $70,000 a year as a net cost,” Camarota said. “And that excludes the cost of their U.S.-born children, which gets pretty big when you add that in.”

LISTEN: 

“Once [an illegal alien] has a child, they can receive cash welfare on behalf of their U.S.-born children,” Camarota explained. “Once they have a child, they can live in public housing. Once they have a child, they can receive food stamps on behalf of that child. That’s how that works.”

Camarota said the education levels of illegal aliens, border crossers, and legal immigrants are largely to blame for the high level of welfare usage by the f0reign-born population in the U.S., noting that new arrivals tend to compete for jobs against America’s poor and working class communities.

In past waves of mass immigration, Camarota said, the U.S. did not have an expansive welfare system. Today’s ever-growing welfare system, coupled with mass illegal and legal immigration levels, is “extremely problematic,” according to Camarota, for American taxpayers.

The RAISE Act — reintroduced in the Senate by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR), David Perdue (R-GA), and Josh Hawley (R-MO) — would cut legal immigration levels in half and convert the immigration system to favor well-educated foreign nationals, thus relieving American workers and taxpayers of the nearly five-decade-long wave of booming immigration. Currently, mass legal immigration redistributes the wealth of working and middle class Americans to the country’s top earners.

“Virtually none of that existed in 1900 during the last great wave of immigration, when we also took in a number of poor people. We didn’t have a well-developed welfare state,” Camarota continued:

We’re not going to stop [the welfare state] tomorrow. So in that context, bringing in less educated people who are poor is extremely problematic for public coffers, for taxpayers in a way that it wasn’t in 1900 because the roads weren’t even paved between the cities in 1900. It’s just a totally different world. And that’s the point of the RAISE Act is to sort of bring in line immigration policy with the reality say of a large government … and a welfare state. [Emphasis added]

The immigrants are not all coming to get welfare and they don’t immediately sign up, but over time, an enormous fraction sign their children up. It’s likely the case that of the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants, more than half are signed up for Medicaid — which is our most expensive program. [Emphasis added]

As Breitbart News has reported, U.S. households headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare of households headed by native-born Americans.

 

Every year the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million foreign nationals, with the vast majority deriving from chain migration. In 2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5 million. By 2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S. population.

Another line they cut into: Illegals get free public housing as impoverished Americans wait

 

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/04/another_line_they_cut_into_illegals_get_free_public_housing_as_impoverished_americans_wait.html

 

By Monica Showalter

Want some perspective on why so many blue sanctuary cities have so many homeless encampments hovering around?

Try the reality that illegal immigrants are routinely given free public housing by the U.S., based on the fact that they are uneducated, unskilled, and largely unemployable. Those are the criteria, and now importing poverty has never been easier. Shockingly, this comes as millions of poor Americans are out in the cold awaiting that housing that the original law was intended to help.

Thus, the tent cities, and by coincidence, the worst of these emerging shantytowns are in blue sanctuary cities loaded with illegal immigrants - Orange County, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York...Is there a connection? At a minimum, it's worth looking at.

The Trump administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development is finally trying to put a stop to it as 1.5 million illegals prepare to enter the U.S. this year, and one can only wonder why they didn't do it yesterday.

According to a report in the Washington Times:

The plan would scrap Clinton-era regulations that allowed illegal immigrants to sign up for assistance without having to disclose their status.

Under the new Trump rules, not only would the leaseholder using public housing have to be an eligible U.S. person, but the government would verify all applicants through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, a federal system that’s used to weed illegal immigrants out of other welfare programs.

Those already getting HUD assistance would have to go through a new verification, though it would be over a period of time and wouldn’t all come at once.

“We’ve got our own people to house and need to take care of our citizens,” an administration official told The Washington Times. “Because of past loopholes in HUD guidance, illegal aliens were able to live in free public housing desperately needed by so many of our own citizens. As illegal aliens attempt to swarm our borders, we’re sending the message that you can’t live off of American welfare on the taxpayers’ dime.”

The Times notes that the rules are confusingly contradictary, and some illegal immigrant families are getting full rides based on just one member being born in the U.S. The pregnant caravaner who calculatingly slipped across the U.S. in San Diego late last year, only to have her baby the next day, now, along with her entire family, gets that free ride on government housing. Plus lots of cheesy news coverage about how heartwarming it all is. That's a lot cheaper than any housing she's going to find back in Tegucigalpa.

Migrants would be almost fools not to take the offering.

The problem of course is that Americans who paid into these programs, and the subset who find themselves in dire circumstances, are in fact being shut out.

The fill-the-pews Catholic archbishops may love to tout the virtues of illegal immigrants and wave signs about getting 'justice" for them, but the hard fact here is that these foreign nationals are stealing from others as they take this housing benefit under legal technicalities. That's not a good thing under anyone's theological law. But hypocrisy is comfortable ground for the entire open borders lobby as they shamelessly celebrate lawbreaking at the border, leaving the impoverished of the U.S. out cold.

The Trump administration is trying to have this outrage fixed by summer. But don't imagine it won't be without the open-borders lawsuits, the media sob stories, the leftist judges, and the scolding clerics.

Los Angeles County Pays Over a Billion in Welfare to Illegal Aliens Over Two Years

 

BY MASOOMA HAQ

In 2015 and 2016, Los Angeles County paid nearly $1.3 billion in welfare funds to illegal aliens and their families. That figure amounts to 25 percent of the total spent on the county’s entire needy population, according to Fox News.

The state of California is home to more illegal aliens than any other state in the country. Approximately one in five illegal aliens lives in California, Pew reported.

Approximately a quarter of California’s 4 million illegal immigrants reside in Los Angeles County. The county allows illegal immigrant parents with children born in the United States to seek welfare and food stamp benefits.

The welfare benefits data acquired by Fox News comes from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services and shows welfare and food stamp costs for the county’s entire population were $3.1 billion in 2015, $2.9 billion in 2016.

The data also shows that during the first five months of 2017, more than 60,000 families received a total of $181 million.

Over 58,000 families received a total of $602 million in benefits in 2015 and more than 64,000 families received a total of $675 million in 2016.

Robert Rector, a Heritage Foundation senior fellow who studies poverty and illegal immigration, told Fox the costs represent “the tip of the iceberg.”

“They get $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend,” Rector said. It can cost the government a total of $24,000 per year per family to pay for things like education, police, fire, medical, and subsidized housing.

In February of 2019, the Los Angeles city council signed a resolution making it a sanctuary city. The resolution did not provide any new legal protections to their immigrants, but instead solidified existing policies.

In October 2017, former California governor Jerry Brown signed SB 54 into law. This bill made California, in Brown’s own words, a “sanctuary state.” The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the State of California over the law. A federal judge dismissed that suit in July. SB 54 took effect on Jan. 1, 2018.

According to Center for Immigration Studies, “The new law does many things: It forbids all localities from cooperating with ICE detainer notices, it bars any law enforcement officer from participating in the popular 287(g) program, and it prevents state and local police from inquiring about individuals’ immigration status.”

Some counties in California have protested its implementation and joined the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state.

California’s campaign to provide public services to illegal immigrants did not end with the exit of Jerry Brown. His successor, Gavin Newsom, is just as focused as Brown in funding programs for illegal residents at the expense of California taxpayers.

California’s budget earmarks millions of dollars annually to the One California program, which provides free legal assistance to all aliens, including those facing deportation, and makes California’s public universities easier for illegal-alien students to attend.

According to the Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers 2017 report, for the estimated 12.5 million illegal immigrants living in the country, the resulting cost is a $116 billion burden on the national economy and taxpayers each year, after deducting the $19 billion in taxes paid by some of those illegal immigrants.

New data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that more than 22 million non-citizens now live in the United States.

JOE BIDEN HAS NEVER OPENED HIS FAT MOUTH THAT A LIE DIDN'T POUR OUT OR A BRIBE POUR IN!

Biden’s 2024 Border Pitch: Trump Will Make Migration Worse

President Joe Biden’s campaign is previewing their 2024 theme for the central issue of immigration: Donald Trump will make the border chaos even worse.

“He’s promising to make it worse: Rounding up Latinos into mass detention camps, ending birthright citizenship, and shooting people at will,” says a Thanksgiving Day script from the Biden campaign.

The Democrat pitch completely ignores Biden’s border record.

Since 2021, Biden has helped his corporate donors by extracting millions of migrants from poor countries to help flood the U.S. labor and housing markets. Those migrants gravitated toward the major Democrat-run cities, spiked inflation, reduced wages, and drained job-creating investment from heartland states.

The Thanksgiving pitch also buries the thousands of migrants who died while trying to accept Biden’s open-borders invitation.

So Biden’s campaign has revealed its alternative reality 2024 campaign theme by sending out Thanksgiving Day instructions to Democratic partisans who face mainstream concerns about Biden’s border giveaway:

When family members say “Trump secured our border!” Democrats are instructed to reply:

No he didn’t.

All he did was separate families, put children in cages, and leave behind a broken immigration system for Joe Biden to clean up.

But Trump did sharply reduce the flow of southern migrants when the arrival of China’s coronavirus disease gave him legal cover to establish the Title 42 legal barrier on the border.

His upgrades to the existing border wall– and his construction of roughly 50 miles of new wall — worked because his deputies wanted to enforce the nation’s border.

But his wall — and his agreements with Central American countries — were nullified once Biden’s pro-migration deputies stopped enforcing the border laws and widened the legal loopholes that allow people to walk through Trump’s wall.

Trump’s border policies helped Americans get better jobs at higher wages and move into new homes at lower costs.

If Trump’s appointees had been able to continue his policies, then many millions of Americans would be enjoying higher living standards and more productive jobs.

That alternative future can be seen in cold Vermont, where few of Biden’s southern migrants are willing to go.

“At Burlington Bagel Bakery, a sign in the window advertises wages starting at $25 an hour,” says the lede paragraph in the November 12 New York Times article, which then lists ways in which CEOs help employees produce more wealth every hour:

[Central Vermont Medical Center] has teamed up with two local colleges on a program enabling hospital employees to train as nurses while working full time … Lake Champlain Chocolates, a high-end chocolate maker outside Burlington, has revamped its production schedule to reduce its reliance on seasonal help … New equipment [at Cabot Creamery] will package cheese slices automatically.

Americans recognize reality — and so recent polls show the public is increasingly recognizing migration to be more of a burden than a benefit.

The steady migrant releases of several thousand migrants in cities across the southwest border daily is being felt in large metropolitan sanctuary cities across the United States struggling to cope with hundreds of migrants in need of shelter arriving daily.

Immigration.  Present levels of immigration will destroy our country.  And that's no longer a thinly shared belief, as polling demonstrates.  Is there anyone left who does not think that the border is wide open and a significant threat to our security, economy, and even America's prospects?  This was deliberate.  The only question remaining is why?  Was it to help Democrats or to help our enemies?  With an embattled and befuddled Biden, we honestly don't know the answer.


Migrant Releases at Texas Border Continue as New York City Struggles with New Arrivals

MCALLEN, Texas — The Biden administration continues to release migrants into the United States to pursue pending asylum. At the other end of the nation, New York City struggles to accommodate hundreds of migrants arriving daily.

According to one Venezuelan national, migrants are being removed from New York City hotels to accommodate the new arrivals. Some migrants, according to the source, are unsure of what the future holds for them as New York City-provided shelter space fills.

Complicating the situation is the constant flow of migrants across the southwest border. On Monday, Breitbart Texas posted outside the Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center in downtown McAllen, Texas, as migrants departed the shelter aboard buses destined for cities across the United States. As some migrants departed the Catholic Charities-run shelter, others were being released to the non-government shelter by the Border Patrol after being processed from a nearby processing facility.

The constant flow of migrants at the southwest border makes the efforts to decompress taxpayer-funded shelters at once welcoming sanctuary cities almost futile. In the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Sector, more than 1,000 migrants were apprehended daily, according to Customs and Border Protection in October. Most of those migrants apprehended are ultimately released to pursue asylum claims in the United States at any destination of their choosing.

According to CBP, more than 120,000 migrants were released on their own recognizance to pursue asylum claims or apply for other relief. This accounts for nearly two-thirds of the 187,788 migrants apprehended by Border Patrol agents along the southwest border in October.

Far from the southwest border, New York City continues its efforts to relieve the strain on taxpayers due to the constant migrant arrivals. Danny, a Venezuelan national released in Brownsville, Texas, to pursue an asylum claim — now living in New York City — tells Breitbart some of his migrant acquaintances are being removed from the shelter system operated by the city and offered one-way transportation out of the Big Apple. Danny provided photographs of migrants who had been denied shelter at a city-operated tent facility on Sunday and were unsure of what their next move would be.

One migrant was photographed sleeping on the floor of a newly established re-ticketing office opened specifically to fund and coordinate one-way travel to other parts of the United States or to the migrant’s home country. Other migrants in the re-ticketing office sat nearby, waiting to be provided additional information concerning their options for shelter.

In November, as reported by Breitbart Texas, migrants alleged a fire alarm was deployed at a New York City-run migrant shelter to force the evacuation and relocation of migrants who had reached the latest 30-day limit on shelter stays. The alleged activation of the alarm and ensuing chaos captured on video by the migrants is a clear sign the situation is becoming unmanageable for the city of more than eight million inhabitants.

The effort to decompress the shelter system in New York City is just one part of the daily struggle to battle overcrowding at Border Patrol detention facilities, non-government shelters in border cities, and overcrowding facing New York City and several other large metropolitan areas across the United States.

The system of daily migrant apprehensions, releases to non-government shelters, and efforts by cities within the United States to provide shelter to many migrants who have no relatives in the country is costly. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), $363 million was allocated during fiscal year 2023 to enable non-federal entities to off-set allowable costs incurred for services associated with migrant arrivals in their communities under the FEMA Shelter and Services Program.

More than $35 million was allocated to Catholic Charities at the southwest border in FY 2023 to provide shelter and coordinate travel for migrants released by the Border Patrol. The Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen is but one recipient of this funding.

In June, the Biden administration announced a $104 million allocation to New York City to offset costs associated with sheltering more than 110,000 migrants that have traveled to the city since late 2022. The figure falls way short of Mayor Eric Adam’s estimate of $12 billion needed to provide shelter to migrants through 2025.

THE LAW PROFESSION OF PARASITE GAMERS WAS MADE FOR JOE BIDEN AND HE IT!

Our Dickensian President

Shakespeare would have had no use for President Joe Biden. If given the opportunity to dramatize his story, the Bard of Avon undoubtedly would have passed. His historical plays and tragedies were certainly partial to political leaders, and Biden has things in common with some of his most famous leading characters -- like Macbeth, he has political ambitions and a helpful spouse, and like King Lear, he has diminished abilities and problematic offspring -- but Shakespeare’s major characters were all deep and complex, prone to wander castle or moor emoting about an inner turmoil or bitter fate. Joe Biden has no such depth of character. When he wanders he’s just lost.

Our president would have been a perfect subject for a much different writer, Charles Dickens. In the 19th century, Dickens was the people’s choice.  He gave his readers what they wanted – entertaining, simple stories which saw virtue rewarded -- usually with a financial windfall, matrimony, or both -- and evil punished. Dickens’ readers knew what they were getting, subtlety be damned. For example, in Nicholas Nickleby an abuser of children was named Wackford Squeers, and a money-grubbing lawyer was named Mr. Gride. Dickens' audience couldn’t get enough, and with serial payments, book royalties and speaking fees, they made him the world’s first literary superstar.

Critics were less enthusiastic. They viewed Dickens’ novels as little more than morality plays, with side helpings of pathos and humor. His characters, they said, were two-dimensional. His heroic figures, like Little Nell (The Old Curiosity Shop) and Oliver Twist were virtue itself, and his villains were not just deeply flawed but paragons of evil, like Uriah Heep (David Copperfield), and Madame Defarge (A Tale of Two Cities). Because Dickens' villains were among his most memorable characters, he no doubt would have cherished an opportunity to portray President Joe Biden, who would have presented the author with an array of vices from which to choose.

Avarice

He wouldn’t have had to look far to find avarice, one his favorite themes. Dickens gave us Ebenezer Scrooge, who personified that vice, but he could not fail to be impressed by the covetous reach of Joe Biden and his family. As vice president, Joe traveled to the Ukraine to thwart an investigation into his and son Hunter’s influence peddling, only to use one billion dollars of taxpayer money to bribe his way out of hot water, and then brag publicly about exactly what he had done. That’s chutzpah to rival any “Bah! Humbug!”  A politician “of the people,” who never had a job outside of government and claimed he never owned “a single stock or bond,” he managed to pay $2.75 million in cash for a Delaware beach house. A clever writer might be able to connect Ordinary Joe’s extraordinary home financing to the fact that the purchase was only two weeks removed from his son's call to Russian business operatives demanding rapid payment of a $10 million “fee.” Dickens probably would have had great fun with the fact that Biden somehow wrangled $1.7 billion in public funds, calling it the Inflation Reduction Act, when its real purpose was to reward political donors and sneak in a Green New Deal, while adding massively to the public debt. Scrooge never did anything half as bad.

Delusion and Deception

Miss Havisham (Great Expectations) might have been in her own little world, but her fantasy life pales in comparison to Biden’s. An inveterate, if not accomplished, prevaricator, Biden deceives so often that few fact checkers still bother to chronicle his lies, most having concluded long ago that his endless misstatements are just “Joe being Joe.” No one knows if even he believes what he says, nor can he keep his stories straight. Biden claims to have grown up in a neighborhood that was either Jewish, Greek, or Puerto Rican, depending on his audience, and to have received the wisdom of his father on accepting gay people at a place that didn’t exist at the time. One of his favorite stories, long ago debunked, is about a chat he had with an Amtrak porter, who congratulated him on racking up 1.2 million miles on Air Force II. Unfortunately, records indicate that the porter died before Biden attained that frequent flier achievement. Recently, he told that story twice within one hour's time.

Some of Biden’s lies are harmless, just attempts to be one of the gang, like his claim to have once driven an 18-wheeler. Others are more serious, like his frequent claim to have marched for civil rights in the 1960s, and his oft-repeated lie that his first wife and one-year-old daughter died as the result of a drunken driver, when it was Mrs. Biden whose error caused the accident. The family of the other driver has repeatedly protested this untruth to no avail.

Incompetence

Incompetence was another favorite Dickensian theme. Wilkins Micawber, (Great Expectations) the persistent failure who nevertheless expected “something to turn up.” and the easily hoodwinked Samuel Pickwick (The Pickwick Papers) provided great entertainment, but as a colossal blunderer Joe Biden exceeds them all. His policies are uniformly catastrophic -- economy, border, crime, foreign affairs, national security -- and not only do they repeatedly fail, he and his spokespeople refuse to admit their blunders, much less correct them.

When average Americans suffer through high inflation and a lower standard of living, according to both President Biden and White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre, that’s “Bidenomics working.” Millions of illegals pouring across the border means that the “border is secure.”  As commander in chief, Biden will be forever remembered for the Afghanistan debacle, when he impulsively ordered a chaotic evacuation, leaving billions of dollars of equipment in enemy hands and Afghani allies clinging desperately to fleeing U.S. aircraft. In Dickens, incompetence is often portrayed as humorous, but in President Biden it has been deadly. Portraying our president’s ineptness in a way that the public would find entertaining would call on all the author’s powers.

The Unmentionable

One aspect of our president would have provided Dickens with no inspiration whatsoever: his sexuality. Victorian readers had an appetite for spicy stories, but they didn’t get them from Dickens. In his books, sex was implied rather than described. None of his characters ever paraded naked in front of the staff, showered with their daughter, or got handsy with females, young or old, all of which Biden has done. In Oliver Twist, the blackguard Bill Sikes did manhandle poor Nancy, but the abuse was physical, not sexual.

There is no doubt that Dickens would have left our president’s sexuality alone. The author had his standards; Biden has no such encumbrances.

Low Expectations

The difference between a flawed character and an outright villain is a matter of degree, and with so many human failings from which to choose, Dickens undoubtedly would put our president in the latter category. That would trouble the author greatly.

As a moralist, Dickens concluded his stories rightly. Heroes were rewarded, and villains, if they did not repent, (as Ebenezer Scrooge did in A Christmas Story) inevitably received just punishment.

Biden shows no signs of repentance, and right before our eyes is preparing to escape the consequences of his actions. His vices may eventually bring him down, but not all the way. With Dr. Jill guiding him as he shuffles offstage, he is headed not just to an afternoon nap, but to an escape from retribution: an irrefutable plea of non compos mentis.

No matter what revelations and investigations might lie ahead, Joe Biden is almost certain to evade the consequences of his actions. When shown the evidence of his bumbling, incoherence, and confusion, what court would ever find him competent to stand trial?

In Dickens' rogues’ gallery, Joe Biden would stand alone. He alone is going to get away with his malfeasance, because Ordinary Joe is no ordinary villain.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE PIG LAWYERS RUN THE SHOW!

Our Institutions Have Betrayed Our Trust

We are witnessing a recurring pattern of events – none of which make sense in a rational world.  

Those we trust have told us to accept as truths that are now turning out to be lies. On the list are government investigative committees, our Department of Justice/FBI, the National Institute of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, weather scientists, and even teachers, to name a few. 

But perhaps the greatest betrayal of trust comes from the news media. The journalists who bravely risked everything to investigate and report wrongdoing are no more.

Instead, the vast majority of the mainstream media support the lies in unison. And when there is even a hint of disagreement, they hysterically deny any opposing views.  

The assassination of John F. Kennedy is a moment burned into the memories of everyone over 65 who knows the answer to the question, “Where were you when Kennedy was shot?” 

The prestigious Warren Commission was set up when the “lone assassin” was killed as he was being transferred. All opposing views were universally dismissed as “conspiracy theories” for the next 60 years and records and evidence was sealed. Recently multiple new reports have emerged disputing the “single bullet theory,” which opens the horrifying possibility that there was an organized conspiracy to kill the president of the United States. 

The modern-day question is “Where were you when you first heard of COVID-19?” 

A series of strange deaths in a Washington State nursing home led to reports of a dangerous virus that kills 5-10% of its victims, leading to widespread panic and draconian lockdowns – ruining the U.S. economy. All attempts to link this to a purposeful action by communist China were dismissed as conspiracy theories.  

Now we are learning that there is a secret China-linked bio lab in Californiadeaths from COVID were exaggerated, simple treatments that were vehemently opposed turn out to have been extremely effective and inexpensive, and the mRNA “vaccines,” which were rushed into service without adequate testing turn out to do more harm than good. And the person we trusted for our health and the health of our children, NIH “infectious disease expert” Dr. Anthony Fauci, was getting massive vaccine royalties from Big Pharma and entities from China and Russia. 

The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis ended the lockdown as tens of thousands of “protesters” simultaneously ran into the streets looted billions in merchandise from local retailers and destroyed their own inner cities.

We were told by our trusted Federal Bureau of Investigation – an organization revered in American culture as the protector of law and order - that Floyd was an innocent man killed by police simply because he was black.

Here’s how it’s described on Wikipedia… “George Perry Floyd Jr. was an African-American man who was murdered by a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest made after a store clerk suspected Floyd may have used a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill…” 

Derek Chauvin and three other officers were sent to prison. 

The news media at the time excused the ensuing riots and thefts as justified and peaceful, despite their own video footage. 

But a courageous independent Minneapolis reporter now calls the entire narrative into question - using information mostly available at the time of the incident. Floyd was not an innocent victim targeted because of his race by white cops, but a known criminal with a history of resisting arrest, drug use, and poor health. 

Perhaps the most promoted “crisis” of our times is “global warming.” 97% of scientists agree, so it must be true. But facts are stubborn things, and scientists are now coming forward revealing they have been pressured to only do studies that confirm the theory. Our trusted scientists, who supposedly rely on peer review and verifiable experiments, have promoted a theory that has led to a war on fossil fuels that has ruined the our economy. 

“Where were you when the 2020 election count was halted simultaneously in six swing states?”  

Our public officials and the entire news media have spent countless hours explaining the 2020 election was the “most secure in history” and any attempts to dispute it are not only conspiracy theories, but sedition, as evidenced by the “insurrection” of January 6, where “right-wing radicals” stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to “overthrow the government.” 

Hundreds of “protesters” have been rounded up and thrown in jail under the most egregious conditions and forced into plea deals and professing guilt, while those who steadfastly maintained their innocence have been sentenced to many years in prison. Calls to release the tens of thousands of hours of video footage of the event have been consistently thwarted – until now. 

Fearless investigative reporter Lara Logan has released three reportshere, and here, exposing the involvement of Ray Epps, a mysterious rabble-rouser who insists he has no ties to the FBI but has never been prosecuted for inciting a riot. 

Newly released footage show the story line of a violent insurrection is bogus. Police fired on the crowd with no warning, the protesters were peaceful and even smiling with police. 

Teaching our children how to be productive members of our society has been considered to be one of the noblest of professions. But civics, logic and basic economics have been replaced with woke political ideology and sexual deviancy. Our most revered colleges have now been exposed as vile, anti-Semitic cesspools of hatred. Our children have no understanding of the Constitution or our rights as citizens.  

And now a former president and candidate for 2024 has been saddled with scores of “trumped-up” charges designed to besmirch his character and ruin him politically and financially. Blue states are trying to force President Trump off their ballots, with no success – so far. These are tactics we thought only occurred in communist dictatorships or banana republics.  

The creepy man who was declared president has been shown to be the most corrupt president in history, and is probably influenced by UkraineChina and/or Iran. However, the Democrats and RINOs cover for him and his son is offered sweetheart legal deals. The only hope to get to the bottom of the greatest scandal in American history is for the few remaining conservatives in the House of Representatives to follow through with their impeachment investigations – quickly. Every moment they wait is another stab in the heart of our country, its safety, and its prosperity. 

Unless we are able to replace our greedy and compromised elected officials by fighting back against our corrupt electoral process (and here), we will forever be slaves, subject to the lies and intimidation of those currently in charge and forced to live with the rampant crime and ruined economy of a nation in decline with undefended borders. 

It all comes down to restoring honest and fair elections, starting with exposing state voting rolls that are currently flooded with inaccurate data rendering results invalid. Local and state Board of Election officials who sign off on election certifications are guilty of serious federal and state crimes if they fail to follow laws scrupulously. Brave citizens in over 25 states have come forward to investigate and expose the blatant disregard for basic election procedures. We must support their efforts and demand our state legislators take back control of election procedures from governors, judges and bureaucrats. 

Freedom is a terrible thing to waste.
