White House officials told NBC that President Joe Biden is planning to use his presidential authority to curb migration in the run-up to the 2024 election. The admission concedes the Republicans’ primary claim in this month’s partisan political conflict over the border: that Biden’s choice not to use his presidential authority has caused his vast and costly inflow of more than 6 million migrants since January 2021. The NBC report said: The Biden administration is considering taking executive action to deter illegal migration across the southern border, according to two U.S. officials. … The plans have been under consideration for...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is blaming Republican senators for the creation and immediate collapse of the pro-migration bill that he secretly drafted with Democrat leaders. “The reason we’ve been talking about the border is because they [GOP Senators] wanted to,” he told Politico, adding, “The reason we ended up where we are is the members decided, since it was never going to become law, they didn’t want to deal with it … I don’t know who is at fault here, in terms of trying to cast public blame.” In reality, McConnell sent Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) to develop...

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) on Monday said any consideration of the “border” bill would be a “waste of time.” The House Republican leaders said in a written statement: House Republicans oppose the Senate immigration bill because it fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration. Among its many flaws, the bill expands work authorizations for illegal aliens while failing to include critical asylum reforms. Even worse, its language allowing illegals...

President Joe Biden and his deputies are using the unfinished and unreleased draft border deal as political cover for their continued refusal to guard the nation’s border during the 2024 election campaign. “What’s been negotiated would – if passed into law – be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we’ve ever had in our country,” Biden said in a statement Friday night. “It would give me, as President, a new emergency authority to shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed. And if given that authority, I would use it the day I sign the...

The police chief of Oak Brook, Illinois — a western suburb of Chicago — said that "migrant criminal activity is a real problem" after six people were charged with felony burglary and felony theft in connection with two separate incidents at a Macy's on Tuesday. What are the details? The DuPage County State's Attorney's Office on Wednesday said police responded around 1:45 p.m. to a call about retail theft at Macy’s in 1 Oakbrook Center.

Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is quietly pressuring GOP Senators to promise their support for his border bill before it is released to the public for debate. Multiple media reports say the still-secret bill is largely complete. But its release has been delayed until McConnell can lock in at least 20 of the 49 GOP Senators, perhaps by making minor changes. The draft bill is also being reviewed by the Senate’s Committee on Appropriations because the Biden administration wants roughly $15 billion to operate its migration program in 2024. The money is needed by Democrats to process, transport, feed,...

For a while there it looked as though my semi-annual long weekend in Amsterdam would come to naught. Several days of massive snowfall made travel impossible in our part of Norway and closed down Oslo Airport for most of a day. Thanks to the snow, the usually reliable bus to Oslo pulled into the station a couple of hours behind schedule; and the airport express trains, which are never so much as a minute late, were delayed by an hour or so. There was one surprise on the express train. In every car, they have these big video screens on...

Shootings are up 185% in Vermont from 2021 to 2022.“We are not used to this level of violence in Vermont,” Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger complained after the city racked up 5 murders. That may not sound like much, but it gives the normally sleepy city, where Bernie Sanders got his start, a higher murder rate than Philly.When James Eaton, a mentally unstable leftist who had praised Hamas, shot and wounded three Arab Muslim men outside his home, the media eagerly diverted attention from the crime wave to the shooter, who was conveniently white, while falsely blaming it on ‘Islamophobia’.The discredited...

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) and other pro-establishment Republican senators want former President Donald Trump to butt out of their back-room negotiations with pro-migration Democrats. “It’s not helpful,” Thune, who is the top deputy to Republican leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), told CNN. “There are a number of pieces in there that are good, conservative border policies that we’ve been trying to get done for years,” he told reporters. “There are some folks without question that don’t want to get any solution to a problem because they think that might help the other side,” retiring Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) told CNN....

In a hotel in the German city of Potsdam representatives of extreme right-wing movements, neo-Nazi organizations and members of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) met to discuss an initiative for a "re-migration" plan (essentially, deportation) of millions of immigrants and their descendants, according to a journalistic report published by an independent media outlet called Correctiv which stirred controversy across Germany. The plan is part of the broader anti-immigration platform of the party, should it come to power. What was once a fringe dream of right-wing voters has gained traction in recent years. From a party holding 10% of...

Emily Schrader - אמילי שריידר امیلی شریدر @emilykschrader Mohammed El Kurd at the pro-terror rally in London today: “We must normalize massacres as the status quo”.

TRANSCRIPT Since 2021, more than 6 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended at the Southern Border. That is more than the populations of 30 American states and more than the combined populations of Wyoming, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota Idaho and Montana, combined. This investigation by Muckraker.com proves that the collapse of the United States Southern border is the result of deliberate planning by government and non-government entities. This story takes place inside the Darian Gap, the artery connecting North and South America, where the mass migration pipeline to the United States begins. To put it simply, migrants who cannot...

Israel’s finance minister accused 'two million' Palestinians living in Gaza of having the 'desire to slaughter and rape Jews' as he defended the displacement of civilians in the coastal territory and his country's reported 'voluntary relocation' plans.

We have reached a stage in our societal collapse where everywhere you look there is a major dumpster fire. In fact, it is difficult to name a single major area of our society that has not become a dumpster fire. Unfortunately, conditions just continue to get even worse. These days we are being hit with one thing after another, and this has created a “perfect storm” that our politicians have no control over. For example, just look at the migrant crisis that we are facing right now. During the month of December alone, more than 300,000 migrants will be processed...

Sean Hannity announced on Tuesday afternoon’s radio show that he is taking his talents to Florida — or, that is to say, he is officially relocating from his home in Long Island to the Sunshine State. Hannity revealed to listeners of his iHeartRadio talk show that he was broadcasting live from his new studio in Florida, where he has taken full-time residence. Hannity opened Tuesday’s show with the “breaking news,” saying: If anybody is listening to this program for any length of time, been threatening now to do this for quite a while. But we are now beginning our first...

Channel 12 reported that during his meetings in Israel, he stated that he would re-examine the possibility of sending Gazan refugees to countries around the world. Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir congratulated Blair on his suggestion and said that “if Tony Blair heads a team to promote the emigration of Gazan residents to countries around the world, we must commend this initiative.” "This is the most just and moral move, first and foremost for the residents of...
