Kamala Harris is trying to pretend she never wanted to ban fracking, but Pennsylvania energy workers see through her BS. Harris said in 2020 .. she certainly supported a fracking ban, a fact she is now trying to deny. Her insincere reassurances following on years of the Biden-Harris administration’s war on gas and oil do not impress energy workers ... ... she's out there saying whatever she can to make people try to swing her way ... nobody believes that [she will not ban fracking].” ... don't believe anybody in that [Biden] administration.” Considering Kamala is still affirming her dedication...

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is not happy that the Texas National Guard has been installing razor wire along the Rio Grande river – facing her state. Nexstar’s KTSM captured video showing troops putting up concertina wire and fencing on the riverbank in the El Paso, Texas, area Tuesday afternoon. The expansion came three days after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott posted on X that the state would triple its razor wire border barriers to “deny illegal entry into our state and our country.” “Gov. Abbott seems to be pushing to make Texas its own country...

Surprisingly, 50% of Democrats want the border wall completed or expanded. ... The...

WVFD said crews were dispatched at 12:32 p.m. According to WFVD, the research balloon was full of helium and nitrogen.

Cartels have started an air war barely south of the US border — how long before it spills over, thanks to the Biden-Harris border erasure? As with terrorism, it’s a question not of if but when. A cell of the Sinaloa Cartel, Los Salazar, has begun using drones to drop bombs on a rival group Los Pelones, in the town of Sonoyta — two miles from the US border. Central Park, by comparison, runs 2.5 miles north-south. Which means US residents are thisclose to an ongoing battle between parastatal organizations that just went aerial. It’s like something out of Blade...

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Monday the launch of an ad campaign in Texas with the aim of recruiting more abortionists and medical providers to relocate the state. The move is highly questionable, as abortion proponents dishonestly attempt to blame the problem of “maternity care deserts” on states that enact pro-life laws. It seems that now, New Mexico wants to contribute to the problem for the sake of increasing abortion in their state. The initiative, titled “Free to Provide,” includes billboards and full-page ads placed in major newspapers across Texas, including the Austin American-Statesman, Dallas Morning News, Fort...

At the close of the Supreme Court’s last term, Justice Neil Gorsuch concurred in the court’s 6-3 decision discarding the 40-year-old Chevron doctrine, which required Article III judges to defer to federal agencies when Congress’s statutory language is ambiguous. Gorsuch noted while “sophisticated entities” can hire lawyers and lobbyists to “keep pace” with ever-changing regulatory provisions, “ordinary people” cannot. It is they, wrote the associate justice from Colorado, who are the beneficiaries of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. In Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law, Gorsuch and his co-author, former Supreme Court clerk Janie Nitze, write expansively...

Members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have been given the “green light” to attack and open fire on cops in Denver, a federal memo obtained by The Post reveals. The gang is already tied to hundreds of crimes, including the shootings of two NYPD cops who were trying to arrest one of its members in June. “Credible human sources from Colorado provided information on TdA [Tren de Aragua] giving a ‘green light’ to fire on or attack law enforcement,” said the memo, from the Homeland Security Investigations office in Chicago “As you may know, we have a...

More Americans are driving without car insurance, and it’s making coverage more expensive for everyone else. The problem has been growing since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Insurance Research Council, whose latest data show the percentage of uninsured drivers rose to 14% in 2022, from about 11% in 2019. The IRC, which calculates the data based on the relative frequencies of auto-insurance claims, expects the numbers have continued to climb since then. Washington, D.C., New Mexico and Mississippi are among the jurisdictions with the highest share of uninsured motorists, the IRC says. Washington has recorded almost...

One of Cox’s connections, Angela Agosta, wrote, “And now he will be America’s hero...

As the nation’s largest southern border crossings finally receive mainstream media coverage years into an unprecedented illegal immigration crisis, untold numbers of “fighting age males” dressed in military uniforms are entering the United States through remote areas with no Border Patrol presence. It is a palpable security lapse unlikely to be reported by most news outlets and local, federal, and state law enforcement sources have provided Judicial Watch with detailed accounts, reports, diagrams, and photos of the situation which is terrorizing residents in a once harmonious Arizona town just a few miles from Mexico. They blame the Biden administration’s catastrophic...
