TIJUANA, Mexico — Reyna has been waiting to come into the United States for over three years in Mexico after coming from El Salvador, but after hearing President Joe Biden promising to halt deportations for 100 days during the 2020 campaign, she wants to get into the U.S. now more than ever. "That is my desire with the 100 days of no deportations. [Biden] said the people that could not return back their country that they would be given asylum," she told Townhall. Reyna and her family were among the dozens of migrants at the El Chaparral checkpoint trying to...

In another example of how Big Tech oligarchs are in the bag for the Democratic party, the California-based monopolies are working hand-in-hand with the Biden administration to impose a chilling new round of censorship. Under the pretense of fighting “COVID misinformation,” the leaders of Facebook, Google, and Twitter will be waging war on free speech on their platforms by eliminating honest questions about vaccines, one more way that Dems have weaponized an unprecedented public health crisis to crush their political opposition.

After years of making national and international headlines for protesting during the national anthem, U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) player Crystal Dunn declared the team “past the protesting phase” in their fight for racial justice as she and her teammates stood for the playing of the anthem on Sunday. The USWNT took the field on Sunday at the SheBeleieves Cup in Orlando wearing Black Lives Matter jackets, as they have for some time. However, the political demonstrations stopped there as every member of the team stood for the national anthem. Dunn said USWNT players arrived at a collective decision to...

The pastor of a church in Canada remains in police custody for the fourth day on Saturday after being charged with violating Alberta’s COVID-19 rules and refusing to comply with his bail conditions. Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church in Edmonton, who remained in custody as of early Saturday, held services for three consecutive weeks after the church was ordered to close at the end of January for reportedly violating restrictions on maximum gathering capacity and not following physical distancing, according to CTV News Edmonton. Police initially arrested Coates after he held services for a second time, on charges of...

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday paved the way for a New York City prosecutor to obtain former President Donald Trump's tax returns and other financial records as part of a criminal investigation, a blow to his quest to conceal details of his finances. The justices rebuffed Trump's request to put on hold an October 7 lower court ruling directing the former Republican president's longtime accounting firm, Mazars USA, to comply with a subpoena to turn over the materials to a grand jury convened by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, a Democrat. The ruling does not make Trump's tax records...

Former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law and former senior adviser Lara Trump indicated that he is “probably” interested in running for office in 2024. “He has told us to stay tuned and that this is not over for him, and he has indicated that he probably would be interested in running again in 2024,” she told Fox News on Sunday. In discussing the former president’s scheduled appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida this week—his first public appearance since leaving the White House—Lara Trump called him the “head of the Republican Party.” “He is really the person...

The Supreme Court on Monday denied an appeal from Republicans challenging a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision that allowed ballots received up to three days after Election Day to be counted to accommodate challenges by the coronavirus pandemic. The court's action is the latest sign that the justices have no interest in cases concerning the 2020 election results. Lawyers for Republicans had argued that the state court exceeded its authority and should have let stand an Election Day deadline passed by the state legislature. Democrats responded that the state court was within its authority to protect the right to vote amid...

There has been some very good news this week about the prospects of returning back to normal from the COVID pandemic earlier than thought. The first ray of sunshine is that herd immunity may be just weeks away in the United States.This morning comes news that one of the reasons we are speeding toward herd immunity is that the various COVID vaccines are providing enough protection with just one dose.Covid-19 survivors who have gotten a first dose of Covid-19 vaccine are generating immune responses that might render a second shot unnecessary, potentially freeing up limited vaccine supply for more people,...

Now that Texas has experienced the joys of primitive energy, perhaps some are willing to investigate the truth about nuclear energy. The Tokaimura nuclear accident in 1999 was the result of pouring too much fuel into a tank of water and creating an undesired nuclear reactor.But that process — pouring fuel into water to create power, except in controlled amounts — is how simple a perfect reactor can and should be. If our electricity grid were built on perfect reactors, we would never have power outages, our electricity would be cheap, and we could achieve our non–fossil fuel goals much...

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a last-ditch bid by former President Donald Trump to keep his financial records, including years of his tax returns, out of the hands of the Manhattan district attorney, Cy Vance Jr. The decision, the second time the nation’s highest court has weighed in on the matter, was announced in an order with no noted dissents. The news further imperils the ex-president, who is facing investigations in New York and elsewhere

I attended a gun show this weekend. Normally, my social activities aren’t worthy of note but this one is because the show spoke so perfectly to who we really are as Americans – and we are not the racist, hate-filled, stupid killers of leftist caricatures. To set the stage, I need to go back to the early-1980s, when a long-time friend of mine confessed to me that he was gay. I wasn’t surprised, having figured out the truth years before. I then told him my greatest fear about his being gay, which was that I would lose him to the...

(CNN)The Biden administration is relishing the chance to put its new-and-improved distribution program on display with the release of the forthcoming Johnson & Johnson vaccine, but as the US Food and Drug Administration weighs authorization, expectations for a massive, imminent surge in available vaccine doses have been dashed. Federal health officials now expect to get fewer doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in February and March, threatening their planned rollout.Though the status of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was brought up on the White House's weekly governors call Tuesday, several state officials and health providers tell CNN they're mostly...

President Joe Biden once claimed that he had been arrested at the age of 21 for trespassing in the Capitol, describing a crime that is similar to those for which some participants in the January 6 Capitol riot currently face federal charges.

As winners never fail to remind losers, elections have consequences. But rarely is there a single day where consequences pack as much wallop as Friday, where the irrationality of Joe Biden’s policies came into full view. From the border with Mexico, where the new administration started opening the doors to at least 25,000 migrants seeking asylum, to the Mideast tinderbox, where it moved to rejoin the misbegotten Iran nuke deal, the new president appears fixated by the desire to turn back the clock to 2016. It’s as if Biden has been seized by a sentimental longing to try to make...

The motions of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. for leave to intervene as petitioner are dismissed as moot. The motions of Thomas J. Randolph, et al. for leave to intervene as respondents are dismissed as moot.

A Miami doctor has been charged with a hate crime after she allegedly attacked a Hispanic man, called him a racial slur and vandalized his vehicle after he asked her to maintain social distancing at a supermarket, according to a report. Dr. Jennifer Susan Wright, 58, an anesthesiologist, was charged with criminal mischief, tampering with a victim and battery with prejudice, a “hate crime” enhancement that upgraded the count to a felony, the Miami Herald reported. “This is not going to be Biden’s America, this is my America,” Wright said, according to the police report, adding, “We should have burned...

The Glock 19 is known for its boxy polymer and metal frame, mystical reliability, and concealability. In fact, it’s one of the best-concealed carry pistols and has become the go-to for the masses. But is this firearm for you? Glock 19 Review: What Makes This Gun Stand Out? The Glock 19 features an iconic square shape, with the bottom frame being made from a durable polymer and a metal slide. With the exception of the Glock 44, I have never seen so much as a crack on a Glock frame and that’s a relief for me because I have become...

“‘Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful’” (Luke 6:36). Since we have received mercy from God, we are obligated to show mercy to those with physical or spiritual needs. Jesus demonstrated His mercy many times as He went about healing people and casting out demons. Two blind men cried out, “‘Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!’ . . . And moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight, and followed Him” (Matt. 20:30, 34). He was also deeply moved in spirit and wept when He saw the sorrow that Lazarus’s death caused...

For leftist failures like New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, nothing trumps Getting Trump.So it must have seemed natural to him to shut down two big skating rinks in New York City on the grounds that they were managed by the Trump Organization with 250 employees.According to Deadline:“New York City doesn’t do business with insurrectionists,” de Blasio tweeted. “We’re taking steps to TERMINATE agreements with the Trump Organization to operate the Central Park Carousel, Wollman and Lasker skating rinks, and the Ferry Point Golf Course” in the Bronx.While city officials have explored ways to exit the agreements since 2015, de...

Inside the haunting world of the Palestinian intelligence apparatus. After Jihad Watch recently published the article “Palestinian Authority: Muslim with long record of terrorizing Christians tried to kill noted Christian physician,” there have been significant developments regarding this heinous crime, which has terrorized Christians living under the Palestinian Authority. Several sources close to Dr. Salameh Qumsieh (pictured above), who is recuperating from the murder attempt in Bethlehem, indicated that he was threatened with death after leaving the hospital, in order to prevent him from escalating the situation. On the other hand, Kamel Hmeid, the Bethlehem Governor, was quoted as saying...
