An estimated 12,000 illegal-alien criminals will be released every month into American communities as a result of President Biden's executive actions, warns former White House adviser Stephen Miller. Biden's orders have included a 100-day "moratorium" on deportations, which already has drawn a legal challenge from border state Texas, and the release of all detainees "immediately." "This is the most extreme directive, I would argue, really in the history of modern law enforcement that's ever been issued," Miller said of the moratorium in an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson on Monday.

President Joe Biden's administration has temporarily paused some pending arms sales to U.S. allies in order to review them, a U.S. State Department official said on Wednesday. Reviews of this sort are typical for a new administration, but Donald Trump's administration was doing deals down to the wire, including one for 50 stealthy F-35 jets made by Lockheed Martin as a side deal to the Abraham accords inked only moments before Biden was sworn into office. The Department is temporarily pausing the implementation of some pending U.S. defense transfers and sales under Foreign Military Sales and Direct Commercial Sales to...

The Mercury News and East Bay Times on California's easing of coronavirus restrictions: Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision to lift regional stay-at-home orders across the state makes absolutely no sense. The governor’s irresponsible action Monday is the latest in a series of blunders that is severely damaging California’s ability to end the COVID-19 crisis. The drop in the number of coronavirus cases over the weekend is good news, but the overall outlook hardly justifies opening up businesses and activities. That approach has only led to ensuing surges that further cripple the state. California is far, far away from being out of...

Infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci highlighted the need to address racial disparities in the COVID-19 vaccination process, per an interview with The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday.What he’s saying: "I think that's the one thing we really got to be careful of. We don't want in the beginning ... most of the people who are getting it are otherwise, well, middle-class white people.""You really want to get it to the people who are really the most vulnerable ... you don't want to have a situation where people who really are in need of it, because of where they...

The Democrats' alliance with social media to crack down on conservative voices apparently now is manifesting itself in the White House press office. In a feature on how media friendly to former President Trump are trying to gain access to the Biden White House, Politico cited Biden's deputy press secretary making it clear that any news outlets that "traffic in conspiracy theories, propaganda and lies" will be forbidden. T.J. Ducklo began with the conventional sensibility that Biden's press team expects "reporters covering the White House to operate in good faith and tell their audience the truth, and this White House...

Further dashing hopes that he’d govern as any kind of moderate, President Biden on Wednesday announced plans for what amounts to the Green New Deal by another name, at a cost of roughly $2 trillion and millions of jobs. ... Biden’s Day One canceling of the Keystone XL pipeline put thousands out of work immediately; longer-term, it aborted some 11,000 jobs, mostly for union workers. Also in his first day, the new prez ordered a 60-day suspension of new drilling permits for US lands and water, supposedly to allow for review of the impact. But on Wednesday he made much...

The Republican National Committee (RNC) will not back former President Trump if he chooses to run for office again in 2024 and will instead remain neutral, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel indicated in a Wednesday interview with the Associated Press. “The party has to stay neutral. I’m not telling anybody to run or not to run in 2024,” McDaniel said, walking the fine line as polls continue to indicate that a sizeable portion of the GOP base continues to back and support the former president. “That’s going to be up to those candidates going forward. What I really do want to...

U.S. Renews Relations With Terrorists of HamasLess than a week after he was sworn into office, President Joe Biden has ordered the State Department to restore relations with the genocidal terrorists of Hamas.The stupidity of the Biden administration is evident in the statement accompanying the recognition of the Palestinians. It “remains the best way to ensure Israel’s future as a democratic and Jewish state while upholding the Palestinians’ legitimate aspirations for a state of their own and to live with dignity and security.”I’m not sure a lot of Israelis would agree with that statement.Biden’s next move will be to start...

A pandemic expert who has advocated strict community lockdowns as a way to curb the COVID-19 pandemic is blasting California Gov. Gavin Newsom for relaxing the stay at home orders “I don’t even know what they’re thinking," said Dr. Yaneer Bar-Yam. "There’s no strategy, there’s no plan, they’re just saying, ‘Hey, we’re a little bit better so we’re going to open up.’ That just doesn’t make any sense." But this week, Bar-Yam is criticizing Newsom’s decision to relax the recent stay-at-home order as another example of "yo-yo" lockdowns that don’t work. “It means we’re going to shoot back up and...

Wall Street traders and hedgefunds are currently very upset, as the “unwashed masses” lose them billions in a short squeeze of GameStop and other stocks.Users of the subreddit r/WallStreetBets are fighting back against the multi-billion dollar hedgefunds in a rather creative way. GameStop became one of the most shorted stocks on Wall Street last week, after a newsletter from a short seller, Andrew Left of Citron Capital, encouraged people to short the company. Gamestop had a short interest of 102% of its shares, making it one of the most shorted on the market.To “short” a company is to bet on...

Another day and still another maneuver in California’s erratic management of the COVID-19 pandemic.On Monday, officials lifted California’s most recent stay-at-home order, giving businesses — small businesses mostly — and their employees permission to take a couple of baby steps toward reopening profitable operations.It’s not a moment too soon.Employers and employees alike have suffered mightily as Gov. Gavin Newsom periodically imposed and then lifted restrictions in hopes of, as he puts, “bending the curve” on infections. “We have seen some flattening of the curve but we are not out of the woods yet,” Newsom said Monday.It’s not certain that his...

Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky. Source: CNNSpeaking on CNN's town hall Wednesday, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said it's "going to take awhile for us to feel like we're back to a sense of normalcy." Answering a question from CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who asked where the US will be with the number of Americans vaccinated after the first 100 days, Walensky said that she believes 100 million Americans will be vaccinated within that timeframe. "That will be protection for perhaps about 50 million, some people will be after two doses, some people will...
