Republican J.D. Vance, running against Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) for Ohio’s open United States Senate seat, slammed the Democrats for fueling inflation, saying his opponent has “supported all these policies.”

Vance, when asked during the debate if the so-called infrastructure bill was money well spent, the Republican said Democrats “have borrowed and spent billions of dollars that we just don’t have” while going “to war against America’s energy sector.” He also noted, “Tim Ryan has supported all of these policies.”

Vance said:

Well, of course some of the money is well spent but when we’re talking about six trillion dollars, there’s a lot of money that isn’t well spent, and that’s fundamentally the problem with what we’ve seen out of the Biden administration

It’s simultaneously, [Democrats] borrowed and spent trillions of dollars that we just don’t have and that’s thrown fuel on the fire of the inflation problem. And at the same time, they’ve completely gone to war against America’s energy sector and you can’t do both of those things at the same time. They’re each bad ideas. But when you do both of them at the same time, you’re going to get record inflation, which is exactly what you expect to get.

Now, of course, Tim Ryan has supported all of these 100 percent of the time. and this really is the contrast on these economic issues between Tim Ryan and myself. I believe we’ve gone in a fundamentally bad direction of the last couple of years. I think people deserve to go to the grocery store without completely breaking the bank, Tim Ryan has voted with these 100 percent of the time. Every single time he gets an opportunity to stand up for Ohioans, he chooses to bend the knee to his own party.

As Vance noted, during his time in the House, Ryan has voted 100 percent of the time with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and President Joe Biden.

Additionally, Breitbart News reported that Ryan has voted for at least $6.74 trillion in higher taxes throughout his 20-year career in Congress. Ryan has cast 113 votes in the House of Representatives for tax and fee increases or against tax cuts altogether.

The most significant votes he has cast were for the Inflation Reduction Act, the Build Back Better Act, against permanently extending the 2017 Tax Cuts, against the 2017 Tax Reform Bill, against opposing a carbon tax, for ObamaCare, repeatedly against repealing ObamaCare, and against the 2003 Bush Tax Cuts.

The main objective of “political animals” like Obama and the Clintons is to get elected; it’s not to fix a broken America, nor to protect her. There are people who govern and there are people who campaign; Obama and the Clintons are the latter. Just look at the huge Republican electoral gains under Obama and the Clintons. It’s amazing that Democrats who still care about their party still support the very people who have brought it down.

“Joe Biden is great on immigration. I guess depends on your perspective. If you’re a human trafficker, or drug dealer, or all those migrants wearing the Biden let us in shirts, you’d give him an A-plus, plus, but the American people would give him an F. The crisis we said our border was not only entirely predictable. It was predicted. I predicted it last fall that if you campaign all year long on open borders, amnesty, and health care for illegals, you’re going to get more migrants at the border. That’s exactly what’s happened every month since the election.”                      SEN. TOM COTTON


There is also an impact on wages.

If impoverished migrants agree to work for less than minimum wages without benefits, the working-class citizens either suffers job redundancy or depression in wages. If they work under the table and send their untaxed remittances home, communities go underdeveloped and get a run-down look.

When some among the migrants commit violent crimes -- through car break-ins, burglaries, vandalism, fentanyl dealing, identity theft, strongarm robberies, rapes, and other violent crimes, it is the working class citizen who suffers. At times, they pay with their lives.


Holding the open-borders Democrats accountable.


The U.S. is currently in the midst of a serious border crisis since Joe Biden took over.

More than 1.7 million migrant encounters occurred in FY 2021, and more than 2 million in FY 2022. The actual number of individuals who managed to cross the border and are inside the U.S. has to be considerably higher.

So what usually occurs after these migrants are apprehended?

The Biden administration transports these migrants, including the underaged migrants, via night flights, from Texas to New York, late at night.

So what happens after they land?

The New York Post reported that the migrants are then bussed to various other states or cities such as New Jersey or Philadelphia. It isn’t beyond the realms of possibility that these migrants are dropped into swing states.

None of this is reported by the mainstream news media, obviously.

The migrants are resettled into working-class neighborhoods of these states.

Any locality has facilities and resources that are directly proportional to the number of residents, i.e., citizens, living there.

What happens when migrants inundate these localities?

They occupy parks, pavements, and other free spaces, and once again the citizens whose tax money funds the construction and maintenance of these places, suffers.

When the sanitation and waste management facilities are overwhelmed, it results in the surroundings becoming unhygienic, which will become a health hazard causing the spread of diseases.

If the migrants have highly contagious infections such as COVID-19, Monkeypox, tuberculosis, measles, leishmanosis, or any other infectious diseases, once again the citizen suffers, first in the risk of being infected,  and second as health facilities meant for citizens are overwhelmed, causing them to have no option but to ignore citizens.

When some among the migrants commit violent crimes -- through car break-ins, burglaries, vandalism, fentanyl dealing, identity theft, strongarm robberies, rapes, and other violent crimes, it is the working class citizen who suffers. At times, they pay with their lives.

"Why just blame migrants, even citizens could be infected with diseases and be criminals?" is what the open border proponent will say in retaliation as they accuse you of bigotry.

Well, the problems that could emanate from citizens are the nation's problems, that doesn't mean we should import more problems.

There is also an impact on wages.

If impoverished migrants agree to work for less than minimum wages without benefits, the working-class citizens either suffers job redundancy or depression in wages. If they work under the table and send their untaxed remittances home, communities go underdeveloped and get a run-down look.

Beyond these issues, the impact of uncontrolled migration is cultural, which can hardly be gauged because the change is gradual.

The migrants may originate from cultures that have anachronistic values and practices from what is found in the U.S. Instead of adapting to their surroundings, quite a few expect everyone else to adapt to their values. Among other things, their refusal to conform results in ‘honor' killings, incestuous marriages, child marriages, foot baths, and 'press 1 for English.’ 

In addition to the violence and regressive practices, culture and values are the core identity of a nation and a locality that sees its erosion will soon be a lost community.

This uncontrolled influx is a long-term project of the Democrats – to inundate swing states with these migrants who, they think, will be Democrat voters. The hope is this new Democrat voter base will overwhelm the impact of existing Republican voters.

Soon elections are rendered meaningless. 

The Democrats have successfully implemented this in states such as New York and California, where even a potted plant, or worse, the likes of AOC, with the letter ‘D’ after its name, is certain to win elections. In California, there are districts so packed with illegal aliens that voter turnout only amounts to about 10% of the number of people present to create the district. These are known as "dead" zones and Democrats know all about them. Large numbers of illegal immigrants also pad congressional seats for Democrats so that even if the illegals do not vote, their presence makes Democrat congressional seats possible that wouldn't otherwise be there. The contests in these states with these arrangements are not between left and right, but left, far left, and socialists.

This open border isn’t due to Biden’s misgovernance, this is an intentional and malicious act to ensure a permanence of power, both nationally, and in key states.

The Democratic leaders who support open borders never suffer the consequences of the policies they advocate. 

They live in affluent localities. Their properties are surrounded by imposing walls. They also have armed bodyguards. The migrants will not be allowed even near these localities, except as maids and gardeners.

That changed in April, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott led a unique practical experiment by transporting immigrants on a voluntary basis to "sanctuary" states run by open borders advocates. The goal was to make them accept the consequences of their words and actions.

These migrants were transported to cities such as New York, Chicago, and Washington. Some were even dropped outside the Washington D.C. home of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's border czar who had just advised the country that the border was "secure."

The governor of Arizona also followed this move, as so did Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis, who flew some 50 migrants in to tony Martha’s Vineyard.

As expected, the migrants haven’t been welcomed with open arms. The mayors of the cities have complained and attacked Republican governors while the wealthy liberals of Martha’s Vineyard haven’t actually opened their homes to the migrants they claim to love. Some authorities have called the National Guard.

In doing this, the governors have revealed the Democrats to be hypocrites and elitists.

But we already knew that.

So what happens next?

Doubtlessly, at least some of these migrants will be transported to detention centers away from the local mansions where they will then be re-released back to swing or Republican states.

If there has to be any long-term impact from this amusing exercise, all GOP governors much join in and keep dispatching migrants, to liberal states for as long as they can.  

In time, the Democrats may block the busses at their city borders and prevent migrants from disembarking from planes.

It will be chaotic.

The only hope is that the chaos will cause local authorities compel the upper echelons of the Democrat party to fix the borders.

But the exercise in holding the open-border proponents accountable must not stop here.

When the GOP wins back the House and the Senate, they must author a bill that does the following:

  • Mandates the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to resume construction of a border barrier wall along the U.S.-Mexico border that President Trump began.
  • Mandates DHS to deploy tactical infrastructure and technology across all borders beginning with the southern border.
  • Mandates U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to increase the number of border security agents and officers.

Now for the most crucial aspect of all this, the funding:

Yes, the taxpayers will be paying.

But the bill must have any or ideally both of the following clauses:

  • Mandate the transportation of migrants to liberal states whose governors, senators, representatives, and mayors advocate open borders.
  • All lawmakers who do not vote for the bill, i.e., who advocate open borders, must be compelled to pay an additional tax to fund infrastructure in these liberal cities that will accommodate the newly arrived migrants.
  • In addition to accommodation, these lawmakers must also contribute to funds for law enforcement, hospitals, and schools for migrants.
  • This tax must not be restricted to lawmakers, but also to governors, mayors, and presidents who are proponents of open borders.

This will be an ideal way for the Democrats to show they really care for the migrants.

The Democrats will have two choices, either vote for border security and pay nothing, or not vote for border security and fund the costs of migrants.

Let’s see how they vote.

Will a bill such as this ever be authored?

Very unlikely.

But one sincerely hopes some among the lawmakers at least try.


Chip Roy Calls on Republicans to ‘Go on Offense,’ Warns Democrats ‘Want to Kill Our Country’

Republicans should “go on offense” and “lead,” according to Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who urged them to “go out in full force to get every Republican elected running against a Democrat,” while warning that “Democrats want to kill our country,” and the Biden administration is “at war with the American people.”

Speaking with conservative commentator Dan Bongino on his eponymous radio show on Thursday, Roy lamented the reality that “Republicans, unfortunately, have too often cowered in the corner, wringing their hands about ‘shutdowns.’” 

By contrast, Roy suggested Republicans “stop accepting the rhetoric of the left in the media [and] instead, go on offense.”

“Why on earth would I be taking taxpayer money, borrowing money and printing money, to fund a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that is purposely allowing cartels to control our border and fentanyl to come in and kill Americans?” he asked. “That’s the question to ask.” 

Instead, Roy called to “turn it on its head and say ‘I will only fund a Department of Homeland Security that will actually secure the border, stop the flow, empower Americans — not cartels, and stop the fentanyl pouring into our country.’”

According to Roy, only a DHS fulfilling those duties has his support.

“Now I’m on board,” he said. “I’ll fund that, but I’m not going to fund the other.” 

“That’s not ‘shutdown,’” he explained. “That’s not, ‘Oh, I’m walking away from my responsibility.’” 

The Texas congressman asserted that an ideal DHS “will only take taxpayer money and use it for the good of the taxpayer and to carry out the constitutional duty for which [it] was hired.”

Claiming it is “not a hard concept” to grasp, Roy stated that his efforts were beginning to succeed.

“We are starting to see some success,” he said. “We gotta keep beating the drum. Not one more penny.”

Being a subject “we’ve been talking about [for] the last two months,” Roy highlighted the importance to “keep saying it.” 

“We gotta keep browbeating Republicans because, look, I’m 100 percent on board with getting Republicans elected between now and November 8,” he said.

“Democrats want to kill our country, but on November 9 it is wake-up day for Republicans and they better gird their loins because we are going to hold Republicans accountable to fight for the American people,” he added.

Warning of today’s Democratic “terms,” Roy, 50, urged voters to “go out in full force to get every Republican elected running against a Democrat.” 

“If you’re a Democrat running today on the Democratic ticket, you are accepting the terms of this administration and accepting the terms of [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi to be at war with the American people,” he said.

“You are not aligned with our values. You are not aligned with the Constitution. You are not in any way for limited government, free enterprise, our faith in the Lord Almighty, and allowing the American people to prosper,” he added.

The Texas representative also asserted that he wanted “as big a majority as we can have,” as he called to elect Republicans, explaining that he does not “accept the premise that these [moderate Republicans] who run in so-called purple districts… that the right way to do that is to cave.” 

Drawing from his own personal experience, Roy recalled that when he ran two years ago against Democrat Wendy Davis in Austin, TX, he succeeded despite having a “tighter” district:

I ran hardcore as a conservative, unabashedly, unapologetically, and we won by seven points. We outperformed President Trump. We had lots of people enthusiastically supporting us, even some liberals that were like, ‘You know, I don’t always agree with you, but I appreciate that you stand up for what you believe in.’ 

Rep. Roy concluded by calling on Republicans to “lead” instead of being led.

“You gotta lead, damn it!” he exclaimed. 

“Get up and stand up for something and stand up for America and people will follow,” he added.

Roy’s comments come as the Biden administration continues to pander to progressives as it adopts more extreme, far-left policies, and as support for the current presidency continues to drop.

On Friday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that everything President Joe Biden touches “has gone to garbage.”

“I would say Joe Biden is gaslighting, but I’m not sure anyone can afford gas anymore,” he added.

Last month, Roy accused House Democrats of looking to protect their allies in the federal bureaucracy — who “should be jailed for their tyranny” — making them more difficult to fire and less accountable to the American people.

In August, he pledged to end proxy voting, along with IRS agents, FBI agents abusing their authority, and those at the DHS who have attacked Border Patrol agents, should Republicans take back Congress.

In July, the congressman warned that America is “under invasion” as Americans are dying while cartels continue to profit. 

He also slammed the Biden administration’s open border policies and accused the “MIA” Democrats of not caring about the impact of such policies on Americans and migrants alike.

IT'S  UGLY, WHAT JOE BIDEN HAS DONE TO AMERICA AND HE ISN'T FINISHED!




“Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton (LAWYERS) Foundation and the Obama (LAWYERS) book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family (LAWYERS) corruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren (LAWYER) and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption.                              BRIAN C JOONDEPH
