DEL RIO, Texas — The Biden administration reopened the infamous outdoor detention area that once held 15,000 mostly Haitian migrants for processing and transport. According to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol officials detained more than 100 mostly Central American migrants under the Del Rio International Bridge on Saturday as overnight temperatures fell into the low 50s. The source, not authorized to speak to the media, told Breitbart Texas some 1,500 migrants are also being detained in temporary holding cells at several Border Patrol stations within the Del Rio, Sector. The overcrowding of facilities is once...

People should get their Covid booster jabs as part of a "national mission" to avoid restrictions over Christmas, Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said. So far, just over 10 million people in the UK have had a top-up jab, which Mr Javid said was a "phenomenal achievement". But about 30% of over-80s and 40% of over-50s in England are yet to do so, according to government figures. Mr Javid urged people to "play their part" to help get through the winter. His comments come as NHS England prepares to invite another three million people for their booster jabs next week....

There is a curious story out this weekend on reported FBI raids of writers or associates of Project Veritas, the conservative investigative journalism outfit. Project Veritas has been described variously as “Gonzo” or “guerilla” journalism and some insist it is more of a political than a press organization. However, it fits the definition of journalism, in my view, and that makes the raids troubling. All the more troubling is the cause: the missing diary of President Biden’s daughter Ashley. The New York Times reported that the FBI searched two locations in New York in search of the “stolen” diary that...

Some parts of the nation have seen localized spikes in milk prices. But most of the nation is facing an oversupply of milk — a challenge policy makers have been struggling to address. Yes, food prices are up. But no, average U.S. milk prices aren’t skyrocketing — they’ve basically stayed the same since January. That’s because the U.S. overall has an oversupply of milk, and it’s gotten worse over the past few decades as smaller farms have shuttered and larger farms have bought up their livestock and increasingly dominated the industry. It’s been a problem that policymakers have been struggling...

Ongoing excavations have revealed a historical latrina – a toilet or an even simpler facility used as a toilet within a sanitation system – at a historical theater in the ancient city of Smyrna, located within the borders of the western city of Izmir. The latrina is thought to have been used by the artists in the theater. The theater and the commode date back to around the second century B.C. and were used until the fifth century A.D., said Akın Ersoy, an archaeologist at Izmir's Katip Çelebi University and head of the excavation team.Touting "unexpected finds" during the excavations,...

The Biden administration in just the past year alone stockpiled the records of more than 54 million U.S. gun owners and is poised to drastically alter gun regulations to ensure that information on Americans who own firearms ultimately ends up in the federal government's hands, according to internal Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The ATF in fiscal year 2021 processed 54.7 million out-of-business records, according to an internal ATF document obtained by the Gun Owners of America, a firearms advocacy group, and provided exclusively to the Free Beacon. When a licensed gun store...

Czech scientists have made a unique discovery suggesting that the oldest herbal millet beer could have been brewed in Bohemia. They came across the evidence while studying a 3000-year-old bronze vessel, unearthed in the village of Kladina in 2017.The bronze vessel was discovered four years ago in a forest near the East Bohemian town of Pardubice. It was decorated with motifs of sun discs and swans, and is believed to have been hidden underground as an offering to the deities.Archaeologist Martin Golec says similar bronze vessels have been found in Europe before. However, Czech archaeologists were the first ones to...

The Illinois county that's home to Chicago is going to make legal gun owners pay for the crimes of illegal gun owners, regardless of what any court might say. Cook County slapped a tax on guns in 2012 and added ammunition to the tax in 2015, according to Fox News. The tax was $25 per gun, with centerfire ammunition taxed at 5 cents per round and rimfire ammo at one cent per round, according to Fox. An Oct. 21 Illinois Supreme Court ruling, written by Justice Mary Jane Theis, found the tax was unconstitutional and a violation of the Second...

On Friday, HBO’s Bill Maher fired back at leftist Vanderbilt University professor Michael Eric Dyson after Dyson claimed parents were “spooked by Critical Race Theory.” Maher retorted, “I find that a disingenuous argument because I don’t think that is what people are objecting to.” Dyson stated, “The point is parents who were spooked by Critical Race Theory, none of whom can define it, when you ask them what it is, they don’t know.” “I find that a disingenuous argument because I don’t think that is what people are objecting to, Maher responded. “They are not objecting to black history being...

The president argues that his plan to spend trillions will create jobs, grow the economy, and increase wages—all without adding to the national debt.Analysts at the Wharton School of Business reviewed President Biden’s latest $1.85 trillion framework proposal and ran the numbers to project its likely economic impacts, under two distinct scenarios. One is the rather unrealistic scenario where it actually only costs $1.85 trillion. Yet because the proposal is structured with many budget gimmicks and short-term spending authorizations that would likely be reauthorized if implemented, its real cost could be as much as $4.25 trillion. Wharton also modeled the...

Bosses at one of the world's biggest investment firms will need to get special approval to hire white men as part of a new diversity drive. State Street Global Advisors aims to triple the number of black, Asian and other minority staff in senior roles by 2023 as part of a drive to improve diversity within its middle and senior management. Failure to meet the target will result in a drop in executives' bonuses, reports The Times. State Street, which has 30 offices worldwide, including Canary Wharf in London, currently employs 39,400 people. Jess McNicholas, the bank’s head of inclusion,...

The US government’s definition of ‘biological product’ up until December 2019 may have prohibited the mRNA COVID-19 products from being labeled as vaccines. Without a quiet change to federal law just before the onset of COVID-19, the experimental, mRNA COVID jabs may never have been labelled as vaccines. A previous article on LifeSiteNews.com described the major conflicts of interest observable during the process leading up to the U.S federal government’s emergency use authorization of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. In December 2019 (before reported outbreak of COVID-19), the U.S. federal government signed a contract with one COVID-19 vaccine maker, Moderna, which “stated...

Ssshhhhh! Can you hear it? Can you hear the outcry and news reports about all of the professional athletes dropping after being vaccinated? Me neither.

VIDEOWe are helpless! HELPLESS! We are at the total mercy of OPEC! Such was the pathetic message of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to Dana Bash on CNN. Gone from her mind was any thought of (GASP!) American energy independence which was ACHIEVED by President Trump. Contrast in this video the utter helpless whining by Granholm to a speech by President Trump in June 2017 on the subject of energy INDEPENDENCE which he ACHIEVED. That is why we didn't have to beg for mercy from OPEC because we did NOT have to depend on them which is the sad case now.

The Defense University in the Russian capital has gotten a double link with Prince St. Alexander who was born 800 years ago. To wit, the name of the University has received an honorable extension — Prince Alexander Nevsky — and the monument to the Prince has been opened in the courtyard of the University. Prince St. Alexander got his nickname "Nevsky" for a victory he won over the Swedish invaders on the Neva river, were now stands the city of St. Petersburg. Later, the Russians under his command crushed the German crusaders on the ice of Lake Chudskoe, thus saving...

President Joe Biden was accused of mocking Americans’ intelligence on Saturday during remarks that he gave in the morning as he answered only a few questions from reporters. Biden made the remarks about Americans’ knowledge of supply chains as he said that the pandemic has impacted the lives of every American. “COVID has disrupted almost every family one way or another, whether it’s wearing a mask or losing a family member. You know, 750,000-plus Americans dead — 750,000,” Biden said. “And so, people are worried. People are also worried about, you know, coming up — they don’t — understandably. ‘Why...

While the average engaged Catholic continues to show signs of making peace with progressive trends in sexuality and relationship behavior, the same is not true among the clergy. The type of man who completes seminary intending ordination is more conservative about matters of sexuality—as well as other markers—than those who enrolled 20, 30, or 40+ years ago.It has been nearly 20 years since the Los Angeles Times conducted a survey of Catholic priests, a venture that yielded much study and commentary about the state of the priesthood in the United States. The results suggested priests believed they were facing the...

A new Marist College poll this week found Kathy Hochul is the current frontrunner for next year’s gubernatorial election, but Rep. Lee Zeldin of eastern Long Island now has support from nearly all state Republican leaders. That’s after Zeldin secured the Chemung County Republican Committee endorsement this week. However, Hofstra University Political Scientist Craig Burnett said Zeldin will face long odds against Hochul, as no amount of GOP support can erase Zeldin’s image as a Trump ally in a highly Democratic New York.*** “In the case of governor, that has to be somebody who can appeal to a fairly broad...
