President Joe Biden’s border chief Alejandro Mayorkas was asked Wednesday if his huge and growing inflow of economic migrants is good for Americans’ wages and rents, and he replied that this is a “Nation of Immigrants.” The Cuban-born, pro-migration border chief took a few procedural questions from picked journalists when he presented part of his new plans to import more migrants into Americans’ workplaces and neighborhoods. “Our president has led the largest expansion of legal pathways ever,” Mayorkas said to a mostly empty press room. But Breitbart News asked about the fairness of Mayorkas’s maximum-migration policies for ordinary Americans at...

President Joe Biden appeared at a press conference Tuesday. He only schedules events between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., according to Axios. The press conference took place at 6 p.m. It was one of only 13 public appearances he’s made after his tea-time “lid.” Here’s what we learned: Joe Biden after 4 p.m. looks like a movie star. The problem is the movie star he looks like is Henry Fonda in “On Golden Pond.”

Senator Dianne Feinstein arrived at the Senate on Wednesday in a wheelchair and said she has to work a lighter schedule due to side-effects from shingles. A car drove her to the entrance of the Capitol building. The 89-year-old Democratic Senator from California looked frail, weak and pale as aides helped her out. Her left eye was closed. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer walked by her side as an aide wheeled her into Senate. 'Hi everybody,' Feinstein said as she came into the building. Feinstein has been absent for nearly three months and missed almost 100 votes after suffering from...

Texas Army base Fort Hood has officially changed its name to Fort Cavazos as part of the US Army's ongoing effort to rename a handful of bases that currently carry the names of Confederate officers.

WASHINGTON — House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Wednesday that the White House is abusing federal resources by supporting President Biden’s “lie” that his family didn’t receive money from China. “Instead of being honest with the American people, President Biden has claimed since the 2020 election that his family has not received money from China. That was a lie in 2020 and he continues to lie to the American people now,” Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters on Capitol Hill. “The Bidens have received millions of dollars from China. It is inconceivable that the president did not know it,” he added....

Congressman George Santos was indicted on thirteen counts of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and lying on financial disclosure forms during his short period in Congress. He was taken into custody Wednesday in New York [DETAILS]. By most accounts and even his own words, Santos is a generally sketchy person, and I doubt there will be too many defenders of his character or the issues at stake. However, all of that said, this Tweet from a staffer in his office is wild:The casual nature of this is quite alarming. It was not that long ago when the...

[Catholic Caucus] History of Modernism in the Life of Father LamennaisWho Was Father Lamennais?Simply put, Father Lamennais is most recognized today by the epithet ‘Father of Modernism.’Father Hugues-Félicité Robert de Lamennais was a Roman Catholic priest, philosopher, and political theorist. He lived from 1782 to 1854 in France. This was a turbulent time. France had suffered terribly from the French Revolution, the ideas of the so-called ‘Enlightenment’ were in ascendancy, and many no longer knew the fundamentals of a sound Catholic catechism. While Lamennais began his priesthood as a faithful son of the Church, he later fell from the Faith...

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former BNSF worker who was named one of the railroad’s employees of the year in 2021 for her work in supporting LGBTQ+ workers is now suing the railroad where she worked for 30 years, saying that after being promoted regularly earlier in her career she was denied advancement opportunities after her gender transition. Randi Berghorst sued the Fort Worth, Texas-based railroad in federal court recently, arguing BNSF discriminated against her. “I’m extremely disappointed that this is where it had to go,” she said. BNSF declined to comment directly on Berghorst’s lawsuit, and it hasn’t yet...

This week, Charles was crowned King of the United Kingdom and the other 14 Commonwealth realms. But that is not all. He has also become head of the British Commonwealth, head of the Anglican Church, and spokesman for a program dubbed “Global Britain.”Since 1833, Global Britain has been managed by a pseudo-private system of Crown Agents today named ‘Crown Agents for Overseas Government and Administration’. This vast body exists as a semi-official status and describes itself as “an emanation of the crown.” The agency is partnered with the World Bank, United Nations and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It...

The marketing genius behind some of Budweiser's most iconic ads has slammed his former employer for destroying the image he helped create. Robert Lachky, who created the memorable 'Whassup?' promo of 1999 and the 'Talking Frogs' commercial that debuted at the Super Bowl five years earlier, said it took him two decades to establish Budweiser as one of America's most prominent beers. But, he said, that all came crashing down last month when TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, 26, announced she was partnering with Bud Light and showed off cans featuring her face. Now, sales of the light beer are down...

Just as they did during the Iraq War, America's jingoistic press outlets bear a major responsibility for this unnecessary war that has ravaged Ukraine and killed some 315,000 Ukrainians. Rather than seeking to contextualize events properly for their readers, the US media systematically deceived Americans about the causes and course of the war while faithfully parroting the Neocon propaganda narrative.

Helion Energy signed its first customer this week. The Everett-based company agreed to provide the software giant Microsoft with at least 50 megawatts of electricity from its planned first fusion power plant, starting in 2028. Fifty megawatts is enough electricity to power a data center or factory, said David Kirtley, Helion’s CEO. Founded in 2013, Helion has launched a multi-billion-dollar effort to produce electricity from fusion, the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and stars. Fusion has long been viewed as a potential zero-carbon source of energy. Unlike nuclear fission, which obtains its energy from splitting atoms, fusion does not...

Trump said he’d do it. Advertisement According to a report from The Washington Times, the Trump campaign is getting ready to take on Soros-backed ballot harvesting efforts in key battleground states. “We recently alerted you that a Soros-linked Super PAC has begun targeting 6 battleground states with a $75 MILLION spending blitz to buy Crooked Joe the White House,” the campaign said in a fundraising e-mail Thursday. “But there’s something important we want to add … some of those states have legalized BALLOT HARVESTING.” “The campaign highlighted the Soros-linked effort in battleground states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,”...

President Joe Biden and his family are at the center of an influence-peddling scheme in which they traded the patriarch’s decades of time in political offices to line their own pockets and then tried to cover up their profiteering with a myriad of complicated transactions and accounts, the House Oversight Committee confirmed during a press conference on Wednesday. With the help of whistleblowers and congressional subpoenas, Republicans are confidently reporting that the Bidens received at least $10 million worth of diluted payments from foreign companies during and after the president’s time in the Obama White House. These payments were diced...

The Bush clan is always in the background, like the stench of a rotting whale carcass just over the horizon. With Georgia on their mind for 2024, Governor Brian Kemp hosts a stop Trump confab at their infamous and preferred Sea Island retreat. Meanwhile, thanks to the intrepid boots-on-ground reporting of Laura Loomer, we discover that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is meeting with Zuckerberg’s far-left Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR), in Washington DC. Why would state election officials be meeting with far-left election manipulation groups. Well, put those two datapoints together, and once again the strings...

The Trump campaign has released a new ad titled "Mourning in America," in which an alarm clock is shown with the word "morning," which then becomes "mourning," depicting the suffering felt by average Americans under President Joe Biden. Images of chaos at the border, Drag Queen Story Hour, American coffins, and a stumbling President Joe Biden play out while a narrator says: "It's mourning again in America, and thanks to Joe Biden, our borders are now wide open for all to come. Our schools free from parental involvement. .... Under Biden's unprecedented inflation, the hope of home ownership gone, and...

New York CNN — A major Paramount division announced Tuesday it will shutter MTV News and slash its US workforce by 25%, bringing to an end the iconic music video network’s news division that once covered a range of issues from pop culture to politics and became a household name for Generation X and Millennial adolescents. Chris McCarthy, who heads Paramount Media Networks, MTV and Showtime, said in a memo to staff Tuesday that despite the media giant’s “success” in streaming, the company continues to “feel pressure from broader economic headwinds like many of our peers.” “As a result, we...
