As expected, the Lawfare ideologues have weaponized the legal system to grant special visa status to the illegal aliens flown to Martha’s Vineyard by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The aliens have been granted lawful U.S. residency status via “U VISA’s” reserved for victims of crimes. Their applications as criminally trafficked victims come as the result of Texas Sherriff Javier Salazar certifying they were victims of an illegal human trafficking operation led by the Florida governor. As an outcome, Ron DeSantis is under investigation by federal authorities and Texas authorities for violations of human trafficking laws.

Yahoo! Finance tried one of the most pathetic tactics to deflect responsibility away from President Joe Biden for America’s ongoing supply chain crisis: blaming pro-lifers for the diaper shortage. The publication belched up a wild Oct. 9 propaganda story with an insane headline: “America is facing a diaper crisis, and the anti-abortion movement is making it worse.” Yahoo! Finance senior editor Sandra Salathe made the arbitrary connection that diapers may be in shorter supply because crisis pregnancy centers focus on protecting life rather than encouraging abortion. Salathe wielded leftist pro-abortion group Equity Forward to lambaste pro-life groups like Heartbeat International...
