DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas partially blames Climate change for the border crisis

The Joe Biden administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow the U.S. Border Patrol to remove razor wire at barricades along the U.S.-Mexico border. The Biden administration made the request amid its ongoing dispute with Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. “The dispute is over whether the Border Patrol has the legal authority to cut concertina wire that Texas had installed on the banks of the Rio Grande. The state sued last year to stop the wire cutting, saying it illegally destroys state property and undermines security in order to assist migrants in crossing the border,” noted CNN.

President Joe Biden returned from a seven-day holiday beach break in St Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, on Tuesday sporting a bright red sun-kissed face and neck as a personal legacy of the trip. The sun exposure comes just nine months after the octogenarian had surgery to remove a cancerous skin lesion from his chest. As Breitbart News reported, Biden’s lesion was basal cell carcinoma, a common skin cancer that does not tend to spread.

Daily Readings from the USCCBJohn testified further, saying, “I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from the sky and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.” John 1:32–34It’s interesting to note that in the Gospel of John, Saint John the Baptist never baptized Jesus, as is depicted in the Gospels of...

Florida’s local governments have been hit with a wave of mass resignations as the state’s new laws regarding financial disclosures have come into effect. The controversial new law requires officials to give a thorough report of their finances. Local officials were previously required to fill out a less detailed form, Form 1. Under the new rules, however, local officials are now required to report their net worth, assets, and liabilities in excess of $1,000, along with any business clients. The reform has shaken up local politics, with many local officials choosing to resign rather than complete Form 6. The law’s...

(NEXSTAR) — With respiratory illness spiking across the country, there’s a good chance you’re sick to start the new year. Maybe you have the symptoms of COVID-19, prompting you to take a test or two that you received for free from the federal government in 2023. It’s also possible you’re testing negative. While there is a relatively obvious reason why your test is negative (more on that in a moment), there is another less obvious possibility you may be overlooking.

everal cities in Minnesota, including Duluth and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, are facing challenges in transitioning their public transit systems to zero-emission electric buses due to operational difficulties in subzero temperatures, which significantly reduce the buses’ range. The efficiency of lithium-ion batteries decreases in cold weather, impacting the buses’ ability to hold a charge and provide adequate warmth for passengers during winter. Other factors such as increased rolling resistance and less effective regenerative braking system in cold temperatures also affect the buses’ performance. Metro Transit spokesperson, Drew Kerr, said, “Using garage chargers alone, electric buses can...

A joint Mossad/IDF military intelligence operation in Lebanon has led to the death of numerous top Hamas leaders. Saleh al-Arouri, the leader of Hamas' military operations in the West Bank and the man responsible for facilitating money and weapons transfers for the group since the 1980s, and others were killed when the building in which they were meeting with other "resistance factions" in Beirut was bombed. Reports indicate that Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas' deputy political director in Gaza, Abu Amar, head of Hamas forces in southern Lebanon, and Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan were also killed, but those identities have not been...

“Where’s the Women’s March? Feminist Majority? The National Women’s Studies Association?” Those are the questions recently posed by Katha Pollitt, a feminist columnist for the far-left magazine the Nation. Pollitt was wondering why the Left was not loudly condemning the rape and murder of Israeli women during the Hamas terrorist attack on Oct. 7. Pollitt is a smart writer and knows well the answer: The Left is tyrannical and antisemitic. It only cares about power. Its religion is to embrace whatever “revolutionary” movement breeds resentment and hatred of the West, including terrorists. It will run anyone over to attain its...

[Make sure to read Robert Spencer’s contributions in Jamie Glazov’s new book: Barack Obama’s True Legacy: How He Transformed America.]As 2024 fast approaches, Old Joe Biden is facing some serious obstacles to keep on pretending to be president until he is older than nearly three-quarters of our presidents were when they died. One of the most serious of these is that his far-left base, having been thoroughly miseducated to hate America and all that it stands for, also hates one of its staunchest allies, Israel, and is outraged that the Biden regime appears to be standing by the Jewish state....

President Joe Biden’s strange and sometimes flat-out false comments to the press reportedly “baffle, rankle, and worry” his aides who are left on their own to “explain or contradict” them, Reuters detailed Tuesday. Biden, 81, often commits political blunders that have included – but are not limited to: Stated his favorite memory of 2023 was the alleged improvement of the U.S. economy Claimed he never met with Hunter Biden’s associates, despite photo evidence Said Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” Maintained he only had six grandchildren, ignoring Hunter Biden’s out-of-wedlock child Declared twice that his son died in...

Key demographic groups aren’t just mad at Joe Biden; they’re abandoning him in droves. When you consider his historically low polls, this isn’t a traditional “presidential slump” that can be brushed off and fixed with some stumping and handshaking. What we’re witnessing right now, and what the media won’t tell you, is that this is a “CODE RED” in the political world. We’re watching the complete collapse of a political figure, and the media is in a frenzy, trying to cover it up. Here’s what pollster Richard Baris had to say about the decline of Joe Biden’s entire political career...
