Democrats acting disgracefully, without dignity, or decorum exude hatred and vindictiveness toward our former President like a gushing broken sewer line – and they call that politics. Millions of “asylum seekers” pour across our borders having just paid a small fortune to a coyote or fixer of some kind. They arrive looking plump, well fed, and clothed, then they are handed a credit card, a phone, a bus ticket, and a big smile from the mayor of some sanctuary city – all at the expense of John Q Taxpayer.

Watching the left scramble to distance themselves from the horrific murder of Laken Riley by one of Biden’s illegals, is downright appalling and heartless. For years, Dems have championed “sanctuary city” policies, essentially rolling out the red carpet for every dreg of humanity, only to now recoil as these twisted and failed policies disastrously implode, putting innocent Americans at risk or worse. But shifting blame or deflecting responsibility won’t cut it anymore. The murder of Laken Riley marks a turning point, and as they try to dodge accountability like cockroaches, the resilient folks of Athens are making sure they can’t...

Editor’s Commentary: While corporate media and local authorities do their best to downplay the immigration status of suspected murderer Jose Antonio Ibarra, it seems crystal clear that he’s an illegal alien. He’s allegedly from Venezuela and is not a U.S. citizen. Fox News, to their credit, did at least highlight that Ibarra is not a U.S. citizen. Other news networks danced around and often never mentioned that part at all. This story has been in the national news spotlight since it broke Thursday. Let’s see how fast the coverage disappears now that it’s an illegal alien in custody. Here are...
