The Trump administration has started paying illegal migrants to $1,000 each to “self-deport” from the US, and the Department of Homeland Security said it will save taxpayers up to $1 million per family. Immigrants can avoid arrest by federal immigration agents if they choose to use the Trump administration’s CBP Home app. The DHS will pay for commercial flights out of the US, and then send cash once they confirm they’ve left. Despite shelling out the cash, DHS projects that taxpayers will save 70% over the cost of rounding up and deporting each illegal migrant. It costs taxpayers an average...

Mexico will no longer deny Texas farmers the lifeblood of their business, according to the Trump administration. Under a 1944 treaty, Mexico is obligated to send Texas water from the Rio Grande while the U.S. sends Mexico water from the Colorado River. The current five-year deal calls for about 490 billion gallons from the U.S. to flow to Mexico each year, while 570 billion gallons from Mexico is to head north, according to CNN. Because Mexico has been far behind in its obligations, the State Department denied a request for water for Tijuana, marking the first U.S. denial since the...

Former President Barack Obama and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Thursday night attacked the 47th president’s actions as dangerous and “unconstitutional.” Obama, during an on-stage interview at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, chided Trump’s efforts to right-size the federal government and crack down on rampant illegal immigration among other actions to fulfill his “America First” agenda. “It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors,” Obama said.

On Monday, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) said that while there are changes that need to be made to FEMA, the agency has been fully cooperative with helping the state out with the recent flooding in Kentucky, the state’s disaster declaration for the floods was turned around by President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem “in near record time”, and Trump, Noem, “and FEMA are doing a great job here with us right now.” On “CBS Mornings,” Beshear said, “[L]et me give credit to the Trump administration. We have seen FEMA operating just like they did in the...

Migrants waiting in Mexico for an appointment with the Biden administration’s CBP One app broke down in tears after learning their appointments were canceled immediately as President Trump took office on Monday. CBP One went offline at 12 p.m. EST Monday, according to an announcement from Customs and Border Protection. It’s just one small part of Trump’s promises to make sweeping reforms at the southern border beginning the first day of his second term. The app allowed tens of thousands of migrants into the US. Up to 1,450 migrants per day were allowed to schedule immigration appointments and request asylum...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on “CBS Sunday Morning” that she was open to “anything” when asked if she would take an official position in a potential Harris-Walz administration. Clinton said, “Well, certainly, unofficially I want to be as helpful as I can, and would do anything I was asked to be helpful. We have so much to do that it really should be all hands on deck. And anybody who can help in any capacity should be willing to do so.” She continued, “I am such an optimist about our country, despite how difficult the times are....

Nearly a dozen current and former officials serving in the White House and Biden administration, including the president's national security adviser and the secretary of state, have extensive ties to Hunter Biden, who is accused by Republicans of selling access to his father, dating back over a decade. A Fox News Digital analysis reveals the extent of Hunter's potential reach in the White House, while the embattled first son is expected to make his first court appearance on July 26 for two alleged misdemeanor tax violations and a felony gun charge. The Justice Department announced last month that Hunter had...

According to the most recent estimates, over 4.9 million illegal aliens have entered the United States during President Biden’s first 18 months in office. But even more troubling is the criminal nature of these illegals and how certain governments seem to be using the border crisis as a defacto war on America. On Sunday, Breitbart obtained a report from the border patrol indicating that the government of Venezuela, led by Nicolás Maduro Moros, is releasing prisoners intentionally and sending them to the U.S. border. Among those released are people who have been convicted of murder, rape, and extortion. More...

Schiff tucked an amendment into the National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit any evidence collected in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act from being used in investigations. Why? Jeffrey Rosen had a secret on January 6, 2021. The then-acting attorney general—Rosen was appointed on December 24, 2020 to replace departing Attorney General William Barr—had assembled a team of elite and highly skilled government agents at Quantico, a nexus point between the FBI and U.S. military, the weekend before Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. At the same time he was rejecting President Donald Trump’s...

As President Joe Biden constructs his new administration, individuals from the Obama administration are quietly resurfacing in positions of power. Some of these people are well-known, others lesser so. But they all played critical roles at various times during the Obama administration. Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser and now the “top adviser to the president on domestic policy and related decisions,” has admitted to participating in the unmasking of members of the Trump transition team. Unmasking is the process in which a U.S. citizen’s identity is revealed from collected surveillance. Initially, Rice publicly denied the allegations, claiming that “I...

Does anyone here know what person/company was responsible for the DNC server prior to wikileaks releasing the emails? I have tried searching every way I know how, and can find no mention of the system admin. Awan was the system admin for most of the Democratic Caucus INCLUDING DWS and she was running the DNC, so was Awan in charge of the DNC server as well? THAT would answer ALOT of questions. Maybe HE sold the info to the Russians? Maybe he handed it off to Assange? Maybe Seth Rich stumbled upon Awan's theft of the emails? Maybe Sam MCCABE...

What's with all the dup postings......did the AM faint or something????

I cannot tell any of you if what they are accusing President Trump and his Associates of is true. I can tell you if it is, this Country will be torn apart. As usual, the hearing on Capitol Hill with FBI Director James Comey and NSA Director Michael Rogers, was geared toward finding guilt of wrongdoing within the Trump Team, while the Obama and Clinton Team remain squeaky clean. Comey opened up by announcing the Bureau is investigating possible links and coordination between Russia and associates of President Donald Trump as part of a broader probe of Russian interference in...

President Donald Trump signed a five year lobbying ban for administration officials Saturday afternoon in the Oval Office. The president was surrounded by several members of his administration including Kellyanne Conway, Vice President Mike Pence, Steve Bannon and Hope Hicks. The five year ban is something he spoke about frequently on the campaign trail. https://youtu.be/aaaJ27xkh5U

President Trump spent Sunday in deep thought of the executive orders he would make on Monday, as he has declared Monday the true opening day of his Administration. His plans for Monday include the following according to inside sources: 1. Look for a possible hiring freeze at executive branch 2. 5-year lobbying ban on transition and administration officials 3. Mexico City policy, which prevents foreign NGOs from getting U.S. family planning money if they provide abortions with non-U.S. funds. (It’s already illegal to use U.S dollars on abortions.) The Mexico City executive order could come as soon as today. 4....

I've looked all over and I cannot find a way to be banished from this site.

The Obama administration tried to persuade Argentina to “provide the Islamic State of Iran with nuclear fuel” back in 2010. President Christina Fernandez de Kirchner made these accusations during her speech this week to the General Assembly. Nuclear fuel is a key component in nuclear weapons. This United States mainstream media ignored this story for some odd reason?

The Obama administration’s members say they’re doing “everything we can” to get to the bottom of the Veterans Affairs scandal, ensure another Benghazi is prevented, address the IRS targeting scandal, create new jobs, support Ukraine, find Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, bring peace to the Middle East and reduce gun violence. President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, Press Secretary Jay Carney and others are on top of it.

Somewhere, somehow, in the last year my tag-line got deleted. I'd like to re-instate it, but can't seem to find out how to do this. I've looked through the admin sections several times, can't seem to find out the mechanism to do so. Any help is appreciated. TIA.
