House Oversight Committee Republicans are kicking off an investigation into what they they called a “taxpayer-funded censorship campaign” at the Department of Homeland Security. Since 2020, the federal agency has been under fire for working with big tech companies to censor certain viewpoints mainly related to election integrity. The GOP launched its investigation after Monday's report by The Intercept dove into how the Feds had begun pressuring tech companies on a range of issues, including COVID-19, the vaccine for it, and Ukraine. The Center Square obtained a letter from the group, led by ranking member Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. The...

DEL RIO, TX – The Biden administration has been facing a lot of heat over their immigration policies over the last year, and now the President may be losing one of his strongest supporters, the liberal news outlet CNN.

Judge Jeanine Pirro defended Border Patrol agents Saturday on "Justice with Judge Jeanine," and criticized the Biden administration for the mounting crisis at the southern border. JUDGE JEANINE PIRRO: This week, the Biden administration told us that thousands of Haitians camped under that bridge in Del Rio, Texas face immediate expulsion to Haiti. But the Associated Press says those same illegal Haitians in Del Rio were being released into the interior of the United States on a very, very large scale, not flown home as Biden promised. So who to believe? Yesterday, homeland security secretary, clueless Alejandro Mayorkas cleared everything...

Seems to me one may not be part of the Biden regime unless one is a bald face liar. The three that jump to the top of that list are Biden himself, Jen Paski and Alejandro Mayorkas. They are not simply liars, they are pathologic liars. They represent a monumental threat to the United States of America. They are incapable of being truthful. Biden and Mayorkas have been failures at securing the Southern border and they needed a scapegoat. The CBP is that scapegoat. First, a little history. The CBP has been using horses to help secure the border since...

"Hurry hurry hurry. We can destroy the enemy. Advance." "Hit hit hit the Taliban." "Hit him hit him hit him. Fire, fire." "We're arriving in Khalakhan." "Take care about the troops." "The Taliban are surrendering." "Bring them to me." "One hundred of them are coming to you." "El Ham captured a pickup with their weapons." These were the voices on the radio of the Northern Alliance commanders we have been visiting for weeks. Several other journalists and I were standing with some Afghan soldiers on the roof of a command post--a mud house with a tank's turret and gun jutting ...

THE HAGUE -- Bolivian President Evo Morales, on a state visit to the Netherlands, said he is searching for a new model of democracy that could include reviving the ancient tradition of whipping petty criminals as an alternative to jail. "When I was a kid I was punished several times, being whipped and lashed," the leftist president said Monday... "Whenever I did something wrong, I received punishment with a chicote [the loose end of a rope], and always believed that the system our ancestors used was better than the system in the northern justice system....," he said. Meanwhile, some 5,000...
