VIDEOAs a result of Joe Biden's very noticeable physical and mental decline, there is suddenly a lot of talk about the Democrats switching out Sleepy Joe and replacing him with California Governor Gavin Newsom on their presidential ticket. That explains why, after years of ignoring the problem affecting his state, Newsom is suddenly PRETENDING to be concerned about the border crises. The ironic thing is that in order to switch out Biden for Newsom, Democrats will have to kick their "Border Czar," Kamala Harris, to the curb which will be very difficult to do since that party has embraced the...

VIDEOMost of you outside of New Mexico are probably unaware of the male model Senator from that state, Martin "Pablum" Heinrich. Why? Because he speaks only in strings of very forgettable liberal platitudes. Oh, he does bring up the flood of drugs plaguing New Mexico but among the entire string of worn liberal buzz words spun by Senator Pablum and his equally useless pal, the attorney general of his state, NOT ONE MENTION of the open border over which those drugs flow.

VIDEODemocrat Congressman Henry Cuellar whose district in Texas is on the southern border appeared on C-SPAN'S Washington Journal on January 17, 2024 and basically proclaimed that the Biden border policy is a disaster. Yes, he took a few obligatory shots at Republicans but the bottom line is that Cuellar thinks Biden's border policy sucks. He even put an idiotic Democrat caller in his place regarding border policy. Of course, if Cuellar really wanted to see some positive action he should contact Sleepy Joe's handlers and inform them that unless they force their semi-comatose puppet to secure the border immediately or...

Politico was in such a state of panic over what they perceived as President Joe Biden's dwindling election chances in 2024 that they were hyping an election gimmick promoted by political author Ruy Teixeira, that came off as nothing more than a desperate election ploy of too little, too late. It was a mark of this desperation that it was the lead story of Friday's Politico Playbook, "The case for triangulation on immigration."After almost three years of largely putting little weight on the border crises during the current administration, Politico writers Ryan Lizza, Eugene Daniels, and Rachel Bade had finally,...

VIDEOBrian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show (6-9 AM ET weekdays on 1470 WWNN Radio) used deductive reasoning ala Sherlock Holmes on the May 10 show to possibly figure out the reason for the baby formula shortage. Could he be right? Well, if there is at least one intrepid reporter out there who wants to go beyond merely acting as a stenographer for the Democrats and ASK government officials about this perhaps we can find out. And if Brian proves to be right, in a just world he would deserve a Pulitizer prize. That probably won't happen because...

VIDEODo you remember the Cuban Missile Humanitarian Challenge of 1962? No? Perhaps you are silly enough to still think of it as the Cuban Missile Crisis. However, under the new politically protective language set forth biy Nancy Pelosi, a "crisis" has now been redefined as a "humanitarian challenge" which is how she refers to what is happening at our southern border.

Disturbing images of children warehoused along the border by the federal government emerged on Friday, posted by Breitbart Texas reporter Brandon Darby. The haunting pictures show a system overwhelmed by children and families detained by Customs and Border Protection, reflecting a growing humanitarian crisis. A spokesperson for CBP did not dispute the authenticity of the photos. “CBP has not officially released any photos at this time in order to protect the rights and privacy of unaccompanied minors in our care,” a statement from CBP read. The president [ Obama ] acknowledged earlier this week that the situation had reached crisis...

What is the first thing that leaps to your mind when you hear about a mystery virus that has afflicted children around the country just as the school year started? I know what it is. You know what it is. And many of the readers commenting on The Hill article know what it is. Even the writer, Susan Ferris, most likely knows what it is but does not mention the warning that dares not speak its name...at least in The Hill. I am of course referring to the many health warnings about the illegal children who crossed the border and...

Paging Dr. Ephraim Goodweather! Paging Dr. Ephraim Goodweather! I know you are in the middle of a family counseling session in order to gain custody of your son but we have an extreme emergency. No, not a virus outbreak on a plane that killed most of the passengers and crew. This outbreak of "The Strain" is much worse since it is real life. What makes it particularly dangerous is that most of the media has shirked its responsibility and has meekly accepted the severe restrictions placed upon it by the federal government, including agreeing not to question medical personnel.

Did anybody else while watching the premier of "The Strain" last night think that a mostly non-fiction version of "The Strain" could have been written? Instead of an alien Strain outbreak requiring the services of Ephraim Goodweather on an airplane, his services would have been required at the border AND all the other places the illegal kids have been sent. In some ways the REAL LIFE scenario is just as creepy as the fiction version of "The Strain." In some ways even creepier because instead of a few weirdos helping spread the fiction Strain, in the real life case the...

It's supposed to be the "most transparent administration in history" yet the federal government is placing restrictions on the press so severe that you would think they were visiting the super secret Area 51 rather than the Ft. Sill Unaccompanied Alien Children facility in Oklahoma. Congressman Jim Bridenstine of that state recently tried to investigate at the site but was rebuffed by maximum security. Today, Bridenstine appeared as a guest on CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper and revealed the incredible restrictions that will be placed upon the press when they will be permitted to visit the facility this Thursday....

It must have seemed to Candy Crowley like a surefire way to inspire a spirited debate by inviting both Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar of Laredo, Texas and Mayor Alan Long of Murrieta, California to appear together on today's State of the Union on CNN to discuss the border crises. Well, to Candy's great surprise (and probably costernation) they both pretty much agreed about the situation and placed the blame on the Obama administration. The biggest surprise to Crowley must have been the response of Congressman Cuellar as you can see in this video (and after the jump) making the point...
