NEWSRAEL: The debacle of the Biden administration on the Mexican border is not just a problem with illegal immigrants. In the last two decades, American borders have gone far in keeping potential terrorists out of the USA. Billions of dollars have been invested. Now, though, you have migrant women and children passing through the southern border successfully, and one has to ask - who else is walking through USA borders without being checked, identified or listed? This report is not the first of potential terrorists walking freely across the border. Makes you wonder how many made it without getting caught....

Go ahead, Jen Psaki. Put out a furious, Biden-approved statement, accusing Joe Manchin of failing to "honor his prior commitments," of breaking his "promise," of—not to put too fine a point on it—lying.

The three of you, and the other Democrats who are lashing out at Manchin, see how you enjoy life with Mitch McConnell back in the Senate Majority-Leader saddle. That...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) hit back at White House staff Monday and warned that Democrats had miscalculated by thinking that they could pressure him into backing President Biden's spending plan. "They figured surely to God we can move one person. We surely can badger and beat one person up. Surely we can get enough protesters to make that person uncomfortable enough that they'll just say, 'OK I'll vote for anything,'" he said in a local radio interview. "Well, guess what? I'm from West Virginia. I'm not from where they're from and they can just beat the living crap out of...

Fosun was even planning to start domestic trial production by the end of August. However, five months later there is still no word from...

If there's one skill Pfizer, Moderna and their vaccine-producing big pharma rivals have mastered over the last two years since SARS-CoV-2 first stormed out of Wuhan and infected the world, it's moving the goalposts - and not just with their rhetoric, with their research as well.First it was two shots. Then it was two shots and a booster dose. Now, as COVID cases and hospitalizations surge in what's shaping up to be another seasonal wave, Moderna has published new research purporting to show that a third full dose of its vaccine specifically increases antibody levels that are useful against the...

You can see it in their eyes, you can hear it in their voices, you can read it in their words, intrusively controlling your life for the five billionth time. Anti-liberty leftists are afraid of Omicron, it haunts them at night while it provides copious excuses for their power by day.

With everyone running out en masse to buy toilet paper and hand sanitizer before cowering in their homes.It is different this time around. There’s a giant divide between the believers in the...

Here is what I want to say to you: at the end of this process, no matter how you change it, no matter how many statements the schools put out about diversity, no matter how many thumbs you put on all the scales to select for a certain kind of student, at the end of this process are self-serving institutions of limitless greed and an army of apparatchiks who are employed only to protect their interests. That’s it. You can’t make college admissions fair by getting rid of the SAT because colleges admissions can’t be “fair.” College admissions exist to...

This greatly benefitted Democrat candidates.Although hundreds of jurisdictions received tiny gifts of a few thousand dollars, which probably made no...
