On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends First,” Goya Foods CEO Bob Unanue stated that the Hispanic community has been “exploited” over the last four years under the Biden-Harris administration due to their economic, foreign policy, and immigration stances “And that’s why you’re seeing this community head over heels toward Donald J. Trump.”

Over the past four years, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have done an unprecedented amount of damage to this country. One of their biggest failures has been at the border, as their woke policies have allowed millions of illegal aliens to flood into this country. It was already no secret that Biden and Harris have allowed the border crisis to get completely out of control. A disturbing new report, however, has confirmed that Biden and Harris’ handling of the border crisis has actually been even worse than any of us could have imagined. The federal government has confirmed that since...

The U.S., Israel, and the world are “better” and “safer” without Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, according to Israeli Knesset Member Simcha Rothman who criticized the Biden-Harris administration for delaying Israel’s entry into Rafah, arguing that if the terror chief had been eliminated five months earlier the suffering in Gaza could have been reduced and hostages might already be home, as he urged for a greater respect toward Israel’s strategy. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday, Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee Chairman Simcha Rothman of Israel’s Religious Zionist party hailed the death of Yahya Sinwar, the October...

“Transphobia is child abuse,” Alex Roque, who runs the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBTQ youth in New York City, asserted on a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) webinar last fall. In less than three minutes, he cast a vision for completely transforming child protective systems nationwide. Family rejection of a child’s gender identity cannot be dismissed as a personal view, he argued. Non-affirmation must be treated as abuse. “If they were denying them food or denying them access to school or denying other things, there would be headlines,” Roque continued. “There would be prosecution.” Among gender...

Vice President Kamala Harris was pressed by CBS News' Bill Whitaker about whether it was a "mistake" for the Biden administration to go soft on its border policies during a tense exchange on Monday's special election episode of "60 Minutes." "You recently visited the southern border and embraced President Biden's recent crackdown on asylum seekers, and that crackdown produced an almost immediate and dramatic decrease in the number of border crossings," Whitaker said. "If that's the right answer now, why didn't your administration take those steps in 2021?" "The first bill we proposed to Congress was to fix our broken...

Biden-Harris administration officials created a plan to use a letter from a third party source as a “pretext for federal action,” and stakeholders and officials discussed federal responses to school board protests, according to a new joint report from the America First Legal Foundation (AFL) and Parents Defending Education (PDE).

For much of the Biden administration’s first three years in office, migration surged at the Mexican border. Administration officials frequently argued that the problem was beyond their control...Then, starting in December, when the issue threatened President Biden’s re-election, he began a crackdown. The traffic of people crossing the border plummeted. Today, it remains near the lowest point since 2020 and not so different from levels during parts of the Trump and Obama administrations. This week, the Biden administration imposed tough new rules....Border crossings reached record levels this past winter, with almost 250,000 migrant arrests in December alone. it pushed Mexico...

What seemed like a fanciful conspiracy has been revealed as a sickening fact. While most people agree that human trafficking is an evil that should be fought, America’s ruling elite are abetting the abuse of unaccompanied alien children. Since the Biden family moved into the White House, more than 8 million illegal aliens have crossed into the United States from Mexico. Most of these are military-aged men, yet a sizable number are unaccompanied children. Nearly 520,000 unaccompanied children have shown up on America’s doorstep in the past 44 months, about 400 kids per day. What happens to these children? And...

As of July 2024, ICE has allowed over 662,000 criminal non-citizens, including those convicted or charged with serious crimes like homicide and sex offenses, into the country. The new data on all the criminal noncitizens coming into the U.S. is shocking. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) checks the background of illegal aliens they have in custody. But, the administration’s letter to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) shows that as of July 21, 2024, ICE let 435,719 convicted criminals and 226,847 people with pending criminal charges in their home countries into the U.S. Of those cleared by ICE, 13,099 have...

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has spent more than $600 million of available funds to serve noncitizen migrants in fiscal year 2024, and now, according to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the agency doesn’t have enough funding left over to make it through the rest of the hurricane season. “The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies,” the Associated Press reported. Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida last Thursday, then plowed through Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia, flooding towns and killing...

Xi Jinping celebrated the eve of China Communist Party’s 75th anniversary with words reaffirming is resolution to reunify Taiwan with mainland China. Jinping’s message comes mere days after the United States provided Taiwan with over $567 million in aid and a promise to remain the nation’s leading ally. “It’s an irreversible trend, a cause of righteousness and the common aspiration of the people. No one can stop the march of history,” he told the thousands in attendance at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, according to state-run news agency Xinhua. Taiwan has operated as a separate government since...

The Biden-Harris administration has yet again shown its complete inability to effectively manage disaster responses. From its appalling handling of the tragedy in Lahaina, Maui, to its blatant indifference toward the people of East Palestine, Ohio—and now the failure to properly aid the victims of Hurricane Helene, especially in Asheville, N.C.—the pattern is clear. Time and time again, we've witnessed an administration incapable of stepping up when it's needed most.

The Department of Homeland Security knows of at least 660,000 illegal immigrants at large in the U.S. with criminal records, including 13,000 convicted killers, nearly 16,000 convicted of sexual assault and 56,000 involved with dangerous drugs. Thousands of other migrants have been charged but not yet convicted of those and other crimes. They are part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “non-detained docket,” a list of more than 7 million illegal immigrants that ICE is supposed to be monitoring as they roam free in the U.S. ICE provided the data to Congress and the House Homeland Security Committee released it...

Today Immigration and Customs Enforcement released some utterly mind-boggling data. Biden and Harris have released killers and rapists into this country and not just a few. We have known about the problem, but enormity of this crime is just now surfacing. There are more than 13,000 non-detained illegal immigrants convicted of homicide currently inside the U.S., according to a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official. According to a letter ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner sent to Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, with statistics on non-detained non-citizens with criminal convictions still inside the U.S. Non-detained citizens include those apprehended at the...

Kamala Harris and her media allies are promising a “tough” border security policy — but her new economic plan reveals her support for a loose border policy of more mass migration. Friday’s New York Times headline declares “Harris Heads to the Border, Trying to Project Toughness Against Trump,” so mirroring many other media claims of promised “tough” policies. But three days earlier, Harris released an economic plan that assumes a loose border inflow of low-wage migrant workers, government-aided migrant consumers, and room-sharing migrant renters. The policy would continue President Joe Biden’s “Bidenomics” policy that has radically shifted the nation’s economy...

EYM Pizza L.P., a Pizza Hut franchisee that filed for bankruptcy in July, is selling all 127 of its stores in Illinois, Indiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and Wisconsin, as part of a financial restructuring process. EYM engaged M&A advisory and brokerage firm National Franchise Sales to facilitate the sale, including assistance in the asset recovery process to maximize recovery for creditors. EYM’s bankruptcy filing listed two creditors: Manufacturers Bank, which it owes more than $21 million, and Pizza Hut itself, which is owed just under $2.25 million. “National Franchise Sales is dedicated to navigating this challenging period with EYM Pizza...

The presidential campaign season is once again turning politicians into pandering game show hosts, promising voters huge tax cuts and spending expansions with no regard to the debt crisis these policies will accelerate. Budget deficits are set to exceed $2 trillion this year — despite relative peace and prosperity — and then surge to $4 trillion within a decade under current policies. For the first time since the end of World War II, the federal debt will top 100% of the gross domestic product. The impending completion of the Biden-Harris administration brings an opportunity to assess their role in these...

Violent crime in urban America soared 40 percent from 2019 to 2023 under the Biden-Harris administration, according to the latest National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) run by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and administered by the Census Bureau. The finding contradicts an establishment media narrative that crime fell under the Biden-Harris administration. For example, ABC’s David Muir made the claim when he tried to fact-check former President Donald Trump during the presidential debate. The data, published in September 2024, is based on official estimates of nonfatal criminal victimizations reported and not reported to police from BJS’s NCVS. The report...

Illegal migrants flooding the US are contributing to what could be the highest number of homeless in the country since the data were first recorded, with cities draining their coffers to fund shelters, a report says. At least 550,000 people were reported homeless in January — the same month the US notched the highest number ever of border crossings, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal. The disturbing homeless figure was at least 10% more than January 2023, a year that had the highest overall annual tally since 2007, when the government started reporting its own figures, the...

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio says America’s $35.327646622839 trillion national debt will continue to grow no matter who wins the race for the White House. In a new interview with Bloomberg at the Milken Institute Asia Summit 2024, Dalio says the fast-approaching November election represents a crossroads for a number of critical issues including taxation and the reach of the federal government. The billionaire believes the national debt is bound to be ignored while the government uses inflationary policies to reduce the real burden of its debt. “We have an enormous amount of debt, and it’s going to keep increasing....
