Jackson County, Texas sheriff A.J. Louderback says the Biden administration is enforcing its no deportation policy and creating “lawlessness” at the southern border. “Every peace officer in the United States should be extremely concerned about the attitude, the lawlessness, the complete abject removal of law,” Louderback told Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Under President Joe Biden’s non-deportation rules, immigrants can’t be deported if they get a DUI, commit fraud, tax crimes, or assault, Fox News reported, noting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be stood down. “The memo that I received this last week it’s essentially a defund ICE...

A “conspiracy” between “left-wing activists and business titans” led to “an extraordinary shadow effort” to “protect” the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump, according to Time magazine. Never mind that Trump is the least authoritarian American president in probably a century and the most transparent American president ever – writer Molly Ball claims in an article titled “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election” that a huge effort was undertaken “fortifying,” but not “rigging” the election. The American system of government hardly needed to be protected from Trump, who, throughout his four years in...

Economists are warning that Joe Biden’s policies may cause double-digit inflation, unseen since the late 1970s. “Unfortunately, the Biden administration may be about to repeat the same mistakes as Jimmy Carter, only this time it will be far worse,” Kevin Freeman, financial terrorism expert at the Center for Security Policy said. “In the four years of Jimmy Carter, the annual inflation rate rose from 5.7 percent before he took office, to 13.5 percent when he left.” Economists said Biden’s crackdown on U.S. oil production would drive up gas prices at the pump and hurt U.S. consumers, while benefiting Iran and...

Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) claims there is a “massive criminal investigation underway” to determine if former President Trump is guilty of inciting “premeditated” violence on the Capitol. Cheney made the startling assertion during an interview on “Fox News Sunday” with Chris Wallace. ... “I would also point out that the Senate trial is a snapshot. There’s a massive criminal investigation underway,” continued Cheney. “There will be a massive criminal investigation of everything that happened on Jan. 6 and in the days before.”

How holding Palestinian elections threatens to expose Fatah. The Palestinian attempt to appease the Biden administration by holding Palestinian elections threatens to reveal the flabbiness and collapse of Fatah, which lies at the heart of the Palestinian Authority. Recently, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas threatened Fatah members who opted to run outside the Fatah list with death. This apparently occurred last week during a Fatah Revolutionary Council meeting in Ramallah. Abbas had barred members of the Fatah Central Committee, Revolutionary Council, and Consultative Council from running in the upcoming legislative elections. This ban also included current ministers, ambassadors, governors, security officials,...

Editor's Note: This piece was authored by Sebastian Thormann.Norwegian MPs have reportedly nominated the Black Lives Matter movement for their nations' Nobel Peace Prize for "raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice." This comes amidst other reports that media-hyped climate activist Greta Thunberg has been nominated for the prize again. Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate who refused to concede her 2018 race for Governor in Georgia, has been compared to Martin Luther King in her nomination for this year's prize.Now, a nomination doesn't amount to being awarded one. There's still a long process ahead. But given that the prize...

Former President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign chair Paul Manafort won't face a second round of prosecution in New York state after a court affirmed the state and federal charges against him constituted double jeopardy.

Today’s post is a re-direct to Larry Correia’s recent post, Read the Room, Jeep! in which he imagines how Jeep came up with their preachy, insulting, tone-deaf commercial targeting the deplorable chumps in fly-over America:JEEP CORPORATE OFFICE –The CEO of Jeep stands at the head of a conference table filled with the CorpoUniParty’s best and brightest. “Alright, our new campaign is going to be about Reuniting America, so we’re going to aim it at those horrible, knuckle dragging red state deplorables.”“But sir, aren’t they all domestic terrorist insurrectionists who need to be driven from society because they believe in evil...

The team of World Health Organization researchers that has been in China over the past few weeks trying to determine how the novel coronavirus started in that country says the disease is unlikely to have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and more likely jumped from an animal to a human. The conclusion was announced Tuesday as the team concluded its investigation. The Chinese government said when first reporting the virus outbreak in late-2019 that it started when a woman bought and ate a bat at an exotic, outdoor food market in the city of Wuhan. However, U.S. lawmakers...

OUR WASHINGTON DISPATCHES. WASHINGTON, Friday, Feb. 8. The wires were all down last night, except one occupied in transmitting Congressional proceedings, so that it was impossible to get any news over by telegraph. Fortunately there was nothing of much importance to transmit. PROCEEDINGS OF THE PEACE CONVENTION. The Peace Convention yesterday did scarcely anything beyond meeting and adjourning to give the State delegations and sections time to caucus. Opinions are divided as to what will be the result of their deliberations. Some of the New-Jersey delegates express decided hope of some satisfactory arrangement being agreed upon. The more general outside...

It will take an all-out national effort to dismantle the radicalization pipeline that has planted conspiracy theories in the heads of millions of Americans and inspired last month's attack on the Capitol, experts tell Axios. Keeping extremists out of the institutions where they could do the greatest damage — like the military, police departments and legislatures.

Is there even one half-sane Democrat that will stand up and denounce the fiscal atrocity of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion spending bill? Is there not one single patriotic Democrat in the entire country who will speak out? The silence is deafening. The House Democrats are now rallying behind a budget resolution that calls for a $6.1 trillion single-year budget. When I first came to Washington in 1985, President Ronald Reagan passed the first $1 trillion budget bill. We were all aghast. Now, we are spending six times that amount, and no one blinks an eye. Even worse, the Biden...

An Illinois trampoline park promising “the best high energy, adrenaline fix in Peoria” became the site of a violent melee on Saturday night. In video of the brawl, dozens can be seen punching, shoving, stomping and pulling hair as even more stand and observe, sometimes toppling over each other as they get to a safe distance, or jockey for a better view of the fray. Most appear to be teenagers.

WHO scientists sent on a coronavirus fact-finding mission to China have today thrown their weight behind Beijing - dismissing theories the virus leaked from a lab wile backing theories that the virus was imported on frozen meat. Peter Embarek, leader of the WHO team, said today that 'further research' into the imported meat theory - which is being pushed by Beijing - is needed, along with studies looking at early cases of Covid reported outside of China. At the same time, he dismissed theories that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, saying the possibility is 'extremely unlikely' and...

President Joe Biden has been called ‘creepy’ after he was seen telling a nurse running a vaccine site that she ‘looks like a freshman.’ The president has been accused of attempting to flirt with the young nurse during a public video conference call with health care workers in Glendale, Arizona. During the video conference, health care workers provided Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris with a virtual tour of the State Farm Stadium vaccination site. Nurse Brittney Hayes had just finished describing the process for residents to get the Pfizer vaccine and how it is being called a ‘dose of...

Build your own Hollywood—or else! I’m writing this on a manual typewriter a fellow dissident smuggled into my cell here at Gitmo. No one told me booing the TV while Biden stared at the camera was a dangerous act of insurrection, so here I am. The weather’s balmy and the food’s fresh. Try the goat, it’s delicious. Frankly, I don’t mind getting out of the house. I was stuck inside four walls with the kids for 10 months, so I’m treating this as a vacation—plus I got my COVID vaccine along with the other terrorists. Win-win! I don’t love the...

Christ at the Last Supper – Duccio (1311)This week in daily Mass, we are reading from The Letter to the Hebrews, one of the most underappreciated books of the New Testament. It has long been one of my favorites from which to teach; in it we are summoned to faith in Jesus, our Savior and Great High Priest.The opening lines in the Latin Vulgate are exquisite, particularly to those who can read and recite Latin well.Multifáriam, multísque modis, olim Deus lóquens pátribus in prophétis. Novíssime, diébus istis locútus est nobis in Fílio.(In many and varied ways, God once spoke to...
