As if Joe Biden’s America weren’t a bad enough environment for small business owners, it’s fixing to get even worse—not only do they have to consider a looming recession, inflation driving up overhead, smash and grabs (oftentimes with little to no recourse), a consumer with less to spend, sky-high insurance rates, and increasing taxation, now they get to wonder if copper thieves will strip their A/C units and put their small, family-owned enterprise out of business during their busiest month of the year. Because, that’s exactly what happened to the owners of a local ice cream shop in Louisville, Kentucky....

Over 150 have been arrested, but the whereabouts of over 50 remain unknown, officials said. ICE is looking to arrest them on immigration charges when they are found. The Department of Homeland Security has identified over 400 immigrants who have come to the U.S. from Central Asia and elsewhere as “subjects of concern” because they were brought by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network, three U.S. officials tell NBC News. While over 150 of them have been arrested, the whereabouts of over 50 remain unknown, the officials said, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is looking to arrest them on immigration charges...

HOUSTON, Texas — Little Jocelyn Nungaray fought back against her attackers after she was lured under a Houston bridge and assaulted for two hours — leaving scratch and bite marks on one of the illegal migrants who is accused of killing her, prosecutors revealed Tuesday. Johan Jose Martinez-Rangel, 21, still had the marks Jocelyn left on him when he was arrested, Assistant District Attorney Megan Long said in a Harris County court.

A conservative legal group fired off letters to officials in every state in the country Monday urging them to enforce existing laws that prevent non-US citizens from registering to vote or casting ballots in elections, The Post can exclusively reveal. America First Legal (AFL) wrote to chief elections officers, secretaries of state, attorneys general, lieutenant governors and governors on Monday, calling on them to verify immigration statuses on voter rolls using Department of Homeland Security data — and boot any non-Americans they find. “If DHS fails to respond to an inquiry, you can sue in federal court to obtain the...

Over the past three years, millions of migrants have come pouring into this country looking for a better life. They were promised that things would be so much better once they got here, but for so many of them that has turned out to be not true at all. There just aren’t enough resources to care for the vast number of migrants that are arriving, and as a result many quickly find themselves homeless. It is a tragedy of monumental proportions, and it is getting worse with each passing day. Just look at what is happening to the city of...

Non-citizens, migrants, and illegal aliens will be permitted to apply for a driver’s license in Illinois starting on July 1. Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed HB 3882 in June of last year to allow all migrants to get a state driver’s license, and the law is about to go into effect. “This legislation is a significant step in eliminating the barriers to opportunity that many undocumented immigrants face,” Pritzker said when he signed the legislation last year. “We’re ensuring every eligible individual can obtain a driver’s license, making our roads safer, decreasing stigma, and creating more equitable systems for...

In case you’re wondering, our “security policies” meant to control these unvetted illegals aren’t cutting it. Violent, cunning criminals are skillfully bypassing Biden’s so-called safety protocols. And once they break free, they’re unleashing deadly and rapey havoc, sexually assaulting innocent American women and children, then murdering them. This is all unfolding under Biden’s watch, due to his elimination of every successful Trump-era policy that had secured our nation and releasing a flood of violence upon unsuspecting communities. The latest incident involves a 12-year-old American girl who had her whole life ahead of her. Now, because of Biden’s negligent inaction at...

While the mass migration crisis has overwhelmingly taken place at the southern border between the United States and Mexico, there is a similar record-breaking surge across the northern border between the United States and Canada as well... data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows that fiscal year 2024 has currently seen 12,859 illegal aliens cross the northern border. This marks a far larger amount than the previous three fiscal years under Joe Biden.

Too little, too late, Joe. Democrats opened the floodgates to millions of illegal aliens and flooded our communities with crime, poverty, and violence… and it’s getting worse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joe Biden pretended for three-and-a-half years that he was powerless to stop the flood of illegal aliens he helped cross the southern border—including hardened criminals, human traffickers, and known terrorists. Now, facing annihilation at the polls this November, he’s suddenly playing at “tough-on-immigration”—and hoping voters don’t see through the lie. Here’s the truth: Biden’s executive order is too meaningless and too late to stop the crisis his open border policies caused. And...

More than 100 Big Apple residents and elected officials rallied outside Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Field on Sunday, calling on city leaders to shut down a troublesome migrant tent city at the federal site. Fired-up locals draped in US flags converged on the massive site in a 90-vehicle long caravan and demanded that City Hall not renew a lease for the 2,000-bed migrant shelter that has been the focus of neighborhood complaints since it opened last year. “Illegals are being prioritized over New Yorkers and many, many New Yorkers feel that this crisis is just not debatable and there’s no end...

Former president Donald Trump, speaking this weekend at the gathering of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, returned several times to the subject of the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump described migrants crossing it as “tough” and said that he told his friend Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, to enlist them in a new version of the sport. “Why don’t you set up a migrant league and have your regular league of fighters. And then you have the champion of your league, these are the greatest fighters in the world, fighting the champion of the migrants,’” Trump described saying...

The full scale of the horror at the Southern Border can be revealed as DailyMail.com discovered bones piled up and migrant bodies that are too hot to touch. Asylum seekers are being funneled through a remote part of the desert- just outside of El Paso, Texas, where New Mexico, Texas and Mexico all meet.

I've been informed by the few liberals utopian socialists who still deign to speak to me that there is no secret confederacy of left-wing pedophiles ravaging hordes of children and that this was just a conspiracy theory whipped by tobaccy-chawin', trailer-dwellin' whackjobs. So I thought I'd pour some bourbon over an ice cube the size of the Death Star, gather some clues, and see what we can learn.

A New York Post article in June reported that welfare offices and other government agencies in 49 states were providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship. Of course, this is complete lawlessness, and it is being facilitated by government officials. Illegal aliens have no rights at all to vote in US elections. Elon Musk weighed in on this corrupt practice earlier today. Elon Musk: Another “conspiracy theory” turns out to be true.

MSNBC host Symone Sanders scolded her guests for using the ‘illegal’ immigrants on her show this week. While discussing the recent murder of Americans at the hands of those who have come into the U.S. illegally, Sanders seemed to be more concerned for the perpetrators, not the victims.
