Just as Cuba did during the 1980’s Mariel boat lift, the Venezuelans are seeing our open borders as an opportunity to clean house. Last week, Monica Showalter wrote about her suspicion that Venezuela is taking a page out of Cuba’s book and emptying its prisons, with instructions to the departing prisoners to head for America. On Sunday, Sara Carter published a post confirming that a DHS intelligence report has been warning the Border Patrol to be on the lookout for violent criminals in Venezuela’s caravans (although how they’re supposed to identify them must remain a mystery). On Thursday, Monica wrote:...

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemMatthew 4 Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness 4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand...

...now control the eastern bank of the Oskil River in the Kharkiv region, while Moscow continues to launch attacks against civilian infrastructure in Ukraine following its military setbacks in the country’s east. Strategic Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces posted a video on social media on Sunday that appeared to show an armored vehicle crossing the river, along with the message, “Ukraine controls the left bank.” The claim suggests Ukraine’s push east is continuing after its forces seized about 3,500 square miles of territory in the northeastern Kharkiv region in a lightning offensive earlier this month that put Moscow on...

Perhaps MAGA Americans are denounced as "extremists" precisely because they demand real change from their government. The midterm elections are only weeks away. The Democrats are in complete control of the House, Senate, and presidency. Donald Trump's name appears nowhere near a November ballot. Yet the only things Democrats talk about are the former president and his "Make America Great Again" voters. It is as if Joe Biden's and Nancy Pelosi's political troops have no interest in touting their successes in opening the Southern border to endless illegal immigration, promoting divisive lockdowns and "vaccine" mandates, passing a Green New Deal...

Relax, Jonathan. This was liberal paranoia on steroids. On his Sunday Show on MSNBC this week, saying that the prospect of a constitutional convention, something advocated by many conservatives and Republicans, "scared the hell out of me," and really "blew my mind," Jonathan Capehart actually expressed this concern: "The one thing that folks need to understand is any rights that have been granted under the Constitution, even as an amendment, such as granting full U.S. citizenship to the former slaves, would be up for grabs in a constitutional convention! "And with the way folks [i.e., conservatives] are acting right now,...

In the left's perpetual march toward the Constitution's bonfire, the Biden administration is now asking the FBI to create crimes where none exists. In the dearth of actual "right-wing extremism," the left's January 6 narrative that the country is flooded with "semi-fascists" and "extremists" is falling apart. In order to shore it up again, to excuse his disastrous presidency, Biden needs imaginary villains. No doubt his puppeteers hope to incite violence to preclude the November election's red wave. Our Constitution prohibits any infringement of our right to own and use firearms for hunting, target practice, competitions, or self-defense. But now...

“The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; and to those who were selling the doves He said, ‘Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.’ His disciples remembered that it was...

The analysis by the Academy of Sciences shows correlation between anti-vaccine and pro-Russian views. A narrow majority of Slovaks would rather welcome the victory of Russia than Ukraine. According to the Slovak website Denník N, this is shown by data from a survey conducted in July on a sample of thousands of people by researchers from the agencies MNFORCE, Seesame and the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Respondents were asked who they would like to win the war in Ukraine on a ten-point scale, with 1 being "clear victory for Russia" and 10 being "clear victory for Ukraine". At least partially,...

Once China invades and occupies the island, it’s over for the residents of Taiwan. The deployment of Chinese forces must be met at sea before reaching the island. Biden will neither respond at sea in time nor with sufficient airborne strength to turn back an occupying force. The GOP will take the House, but not the Senate. Biden will blame the GOP controlled House for not funding a force to liberate Taiwan. Biden will reach an agreement with the CCP to protect the residents of Taiwan while guaranteeing chip supply to the US. Taiwan’s fall will be blamed on the...

Disgraced former CBS News anchor Dan Rather recently finished hosting nine seasons of a cable television interview series — but most Americans may not have noticed. From 2013 to last year, he filmed 150 episodes of “The Big Interview with Dan Rather” for the niche cable channel AXS TV. Guests included actor David Hasselhoff, singer Neil Young and filmmaker Oliver Stone. Now the 90-year-old journalist publishes left-leaning commentaries on the news of the day in a Substack newsletter that he shares on Twitter with his 2.7 million followers. “Trump judges are McConnell judges,” Mr. Rather tweeted Friday. He’s among the...

NEW YORK - Police are searching for a man who drew a swastika on an FDNY vehicle in Manhattan last month. Authorities say that on August 26, at around 1:20 a.m., the suspect approached a parked unmarked FDNY vehicle in the rear of 145 Hester Street in Chinatown and drew a swastika on the rear driver-side door. — Police have released surveillance photos of the suspect, and the NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.

New York City shelters are so overwhelmed by the migrant crisis that Mayor Eric Adams is considering using cruise ships as temporary housing. “We examined everything from the legality of using any type of cruise ship for temporary housing,” Hizzoner during an interview on WCBS Sunday. “We’re looking at everything to see, how do we deal with this?” Adams made the suggestion just hours before The Post reported that a record number of 9 buses carrying migrants traveled into the city. Each bus typically carries between 40 and 50 migrants. The influx is crippling the New York shelter system. Full-time...

Beijing -- As world leaders gather in New York at the annual UN General Assembly, rising superpower China is also focusing on another United Nations body that is meeting across the Atlantic Ocean in Geneva. Chinese diplomats are speaking out and lobbying others at an ongoing session of the Human Rights Council to thwart a possible call for further scrutiny of what it calls its anti-extremism campaign in Xinjiang, following a UN report on abuses against Uyghurs and other largely Muslim ethnic groups in the western China border region. The concurrent meetings, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, illustrate China's...

El Paso's Democratic mayor said Sunday that he is only busing migrants to New York City to help them get to their final destination as critics pointed out the hypocrisy in the left condemning Republicans for doing the same thing. Mayor Oscar Leeser said migrants aren't coming to the U.S. just to land in his border city, but instead are looking to go to other places in the country – potentially where they have family or other sponsors. 'The people are not coming to El Paso,' Leeser said. 'They're coming to America.' He said that authorities in El Paso speak...
