The media have always engaged in mass lying about immigration, but they're really going the extra mile this election cycle. Lie No. 1 is the toughness of the "bipartisan" border bill, covered in last week's column. (Quotes on "bipartisan" because not a single congressional Republican supports it, even the guy who co-sponsored it.) Immigration Lie No. 2 is even more comically, straw-graspingly wrong: The Biden-Harris administration is deporting MORE illegals than Trump! It's been reported everywhere. I'll include bylines so you know whose reporting never to trust: -- Reuters by Ben Kellerman, Mica Rosenberg and Ted Hesson: "Biden is now...

Seven Republican-led states on Tuesday filed a lawsuit to challenge the Biden administration's latest student debt forgiveness plan, saying the U.S. Department of Education was taking steps to start canceling loans as soon as this week. The lawsuit came less than a week after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Biden administration's bid to revive a different student debt relief plan that was designed to lower monthly payments for millions of borrowers and speed up loan forgiveness for some.

The Biden-Harris administration is planning to accuse Russia of a “covert” and “sustained effort to influence the 2024 presidential election” and take a “series of moves” to address it, “six sources familiar with the matter” told CNN. CNN reported that the administration will accuse Russia of doing so by claiming it uses Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target U.S. voters with disinformation. The report did not provide evidence or examples of the disinformation, but it said RT — Russia’s state media network — is a major focus of the announcement. RT is widely known to be government-directed and...

President Joe Biden was spotted with First Lady Jill Biden on the beach in Rehoboth, Delaware - vacationing for the second weekend in a row. Biden sat near a blue umbrella wearing a black hat and Philadelphia Eagles T-shirt while talking on the phone and waving at the cameras on Saturday. The First Lady appeared relaxed with the sleeves of her white dress rolled up and hair tired back in a gray baseball cap.

The Biden-Harris administration kicked off what critics call an amnesty program for illegal immigrants during the week of the Democratic National Convention.... "Keeping Families Together," ... will make an estimated 500,000 noncitizen spouses and another 50,000 noncitizen stepchildren of U.S. citizens eligible for parole.... "This is a massive amnesty that Congress never authorized," Andrew Arthur, resident fellow in law and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News Digital..... "It would hold Republicans' feet to the fire to undo it thereafter, but as we’ve seen with DACA, administrative amnesties are difficult to undo."... Noncitizen stepchildren of U.S. citizens...

CURIA OF POMPEY, ROME — As details from the recent Senatorial scuffle continue to be investigated, official sources from the Senate say that Senator Gaius Cassius has come forward, bloody knife in hand, to affirm that the senators of the Roman Republic "applaud former Dictator Julius Caesar for his decision to do the right thing and step down." Cassius and his fellow senator Marcus Junius Brutus, who were both present at a hastily organized retirement party for Caesar, said that the former Emperor who had not been seen for the last six days displayed "true patriotism" in selflessly bowing out....

President Biden has signed off on a highly classified plan that shifts America’s nuclear strategy to focus on China as a nuclear threat — and prepare for the possibility that the communist nation could team up with North Korea and Russia against the US, according to a new report. Biden made the shift in March because the Pentagon believes China’s nuclear arsenal will rival the US and Russia, the New York Times reported Tuesday, citing sources. The new strategy is called the “Nuclear Employment Guidance” and also readies the US for a possible coordinated threat between China, Russia and North...

Every time that Biden says: "No joke," "Seriously," or "My Word as a Biden," you know that he is lying.

The exact circumstances that led to President Joe Biden's dramatic withdrawal from the 2024 election race have been the topic of frenzied conversation for weeks. Ever since Biden tweeted his digitally signed letter announcing the decision on Sunday, June 21, the line from the White House has been clear: The president was not pushed. This was his choice alone. Sympathetic insiders described a weekend of 'reflection' for the president – who had recently tested postive for COVID and was holed up in isolation with his wife Jill and a handful of trusted aides at the Biden family home in Rehoboth...

We head to Chicago on a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation, excitement and even, you might say, ecstasy. It’s going to be a glorious coronation — except that everyone’s mad at one another. Top Democrats are bristling with resentments even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City. A coterie of powerful Democrats maneuvered behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race. It wasn’t exactly “Julius Caesar” in Rehoboth Beach. But it was a tectonic shift and, of course, there were going to be...

Biden spoke to CBS’ Robert Costa in an interview taped for Sunday morning and stated that he left the race despite claiming he was in a dead heat with Trump in the polls (he wasn’t). But Democrats were concerned that his struggles would hurt them in down-ballot races. He also seemingly confirmed one critical part of the coup: Nancy Pelosi pressured him to drop out behind the scenes due to her concerns over him losing and dragging Congress down with him. Joe Biden also issued another veiled threat against President Donald Trump. This comes less than one month after he...

A Washington Post ‘reporter’ on Monday asked Karine Jean-Pierre what Biden is going to do to stop Trump’s live X interview with Elon Musk on Monday night. President Trump is back on X after taking some time away from the social media platform. Trump tweeted a campaign ad ahead of his highly anticipated live interview with Elon Musk on Monday evening at 8 pm ET. Washington Post reporter Cleve Wootson wants the government to intervene to shut Trump down with just a few months to go until Election Day. “One more, Elon Musk is slated to interview Trump tonight on...

President Joe Biden said on “CBS Sunday Morning” that if former President Donald Trump wins in November he will be a “genuine danger to American security.” Reporter Robert Costa asked, “How do you want history to remember President Biden?” Biden said, “That he proved democracy can work. He got us out of a pandemic—it produced the single greatest economic recovery in American history. We are the most powerful economy in the world. We have more to do, and it demonstrated that we can pull the nation together.”

President Joe Biden repeated the Charlottesville “fine people hoax” in an interview with Robert Costa on CBS News’ Sunday Morning. Biden falsely claimed, as he has since he launched his campaign in April 2019, that then-President Donald Trump praised neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. In fact, as the transcript reveals, Trump condemned the neo-Nazis.

A group of 18 House Republicans asked House Speaker Mike Johnson to not pursue a wholesale repeal of subsidies contained in President Joe Biden’s signature climate law on Wednesday. The lawmakers wrote to Johnson to urge him to not repeal energy sector-wide tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), especially those that have already spurred ongoing development across the country. The IRA became law in 2022 without a single Republican vote, and while the lawmakers said they believe the law is “deeply flawed”….

Joe Biden sat down for a pre-recorded interview with CBS News reporter Robert Costa. The interview was conducted on Sunday and will air in full on Sunday, August 11. Joe Biden has not been publicly in more than 3 days. CBS played a clip from Biden’s interview with Robert Costa. “Are you confident that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025?” CBS News reporter Robert Costa asked Biden. “If Trump wins, no, I’m not confident at all,” Biden said before correcting himself: “I mean if Trump loses, I’m not confident at all. He means what he...

This is the most Radical Left duo in American history. There has never been anything like it, and there never will be again. Crazy Kamabla is, indeed, CRAZY. I HEAR THERE IS A BIG MOVEMENT TO “BRING BACK CROOKED JOE.” ---------- What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging...

Tulsi Gabbard is a politician, military veteran, and former U.S. Representative. Our elected officials are supposed to be in charge of the country we live in. But the more we learn about the inner workings of government, the less that seems to be true. So, who is really running the show, and what will the future of America look like for those who truly hold the power? Expect to learn what Joe Biden is actually like behind the scenes, why RFK Jr’s campaign didn't succeed, the reason that Elon Musk’s X platform was so important during Trump's assassination attempt, the...

Last week, the Biden administration announced that it would unveil a second attempt at issuing blanket student loan forgiveness within the next few months. The announcement comes more than a year after its first attempt was blocked by the Supreme Court. "The Biden-Harris Administration made a commitment to deliver student debt relief to as many borrowers as possible as quickly as possible," said Education Secretary Miguel Cardona in a statement last Wednesday. *** The proposed rules target specific groups of borrowers, including borrowers who now owe more than they originally took out in loans due to accumulating interest, borrowers who...

Joe Biden will return to the White House Saturday afternoon, interrupting a weekend vacation at the beach in Delaware, the Biden press office announced: “The President is returning to the White House this afternoon to consult with his national security team about events in the Middle East.” Biden took off for his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware home Friday night with plans to not return until Sunday night, even as he told reporters earlier Friday that he expected Iran to attack Israel “sooner rather than later”:
