Social Security's retirement fund is set to run short in just seven years — which could end up slashing benefits for millions of Americans by thousands of dollars a year. According to latest projections, retirees could face automatic 24 percent benefit cuts as early as the end of 2032. Social Security relies on its trust fund to provide monthly benefit checks to around 70 million Americans. Once the reserves are exhausted, federal law requires that benefits be cut to match incoming revenues

On Tuesday, a group of Republicans joined Democrats to reintroduce the DIGNITY Act, which would provide mass amnesty to illegal aliens living in the country. “The legislation acknowledges a key truth: most undocumented individuals are not seeking citizenship at all costs, but rather the dignity of living and working legally, contributing to society, paying taxes, being safe from deportation, and traveling to see family during the holidays,” a press release from Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a so-called Republican, states. By the bill’s own admission, “most” illegal aliens don’t want to become Americans in any real sense. They want the...

Polish bishop warns of ‘Islamization of Europe’ as he denounces open bordersAntoni Długosz, auxiliary bishop emeritus of Częstochowa, spoke about the Polish government's dangerous migration policies last Saturday during a pilgrimage.A Polish bishop has denounced his government as “political gangsters” who foster the “Islamization of Europe” through their migration policy.According to a report by the Catholic Herald, Antoni Długosz, auxiliary bishop emeritus of Częstochowa, spoke about the Polish government’s dangerous migration policies last Saturday during an annual pilgrimage to the Jasna Góra monastery, where the famous Black Madonna icon is displayed.“German police are tossing illegal immigrants across the border like...

The far left’s disgraceful response to September 11—it has temporized about terror, embraced moral equivalence between the Islamist fanatics who killed thousands of innocent Americans and the military actions of the democratically elected U.S. government, and even blamed the U.S. for the atrocity—shows that its hatred of democratic capitalism and, more broadly, Western civilization itself remains fierce more than a decade after the collapse of socialism. The intensity of this hatred will come as no surprise, however, to anyone who has paid attention to the praise that the academic left and its sympathizers in the liberal media have been showering ...

The U.S. Coast Guard has seized more than 240,000 pounds of cocaine since the start of the Trump administration on Jan. 20, enough to kill the combined population of California, Texas, and New York, according to the Department of Homeland Security. President Donald Trump “is keeping his promise to Make America Safe Again. The Coast Guard’s tremendous work has guaranteed that these illicit drugs will never infiltrate America’s communities and take innocent lives,” Abigail Jackson, White House spokeswoman, told The Daily Signal. “The Trump administration will never stop fighting to protect Americans from the scourge of dangerous drugs,” Jackson said....

Democrat Rep. Maxwell Frost has accused President Trump of working to “ethnically cleanse” America of non-Europeans. The Florida Congressman made the remarks during an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow when he was asked about his recent visit to the Everglades detention center, which has been dubbed as “Alligator Alcatraz.” He explained: When I went in and we were standing at that door looking at the cages, looking at the hundreds of men in there, I saw myself in those cages. I saw people who were my age, people who looked exactly like me. I thought when we were walking out...

Donald Trump has been vindicated after The New York Times accused him of pushing a false conspiracy theory about a migrant gang taking over a Colorado apartment building... only for the paper to now admit those same claims were true. One article published last September scolded Trump for his 'false' claims that Aurora was overrun with Tren de Aragua goons. But a recent investigation published by the esteemed paper now concedes the Denver suburb is indeed a hotspot for the Venezuelan gangsters. The controversy took on national prominence during the presidential election as Donald Trump often cited it during rallies...

More than 100,000 patients who visited hospitals in Texas between last November and February of this year admitted they were illegal migrants, according to state data. The data was gathered after Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott signed a law last year requiring hospitals to ask registering patients if they are a legal U.S. resident. According to KXAN-TV, by the end of February, 108,581 patients admitted to being illegal aliens — about 2.3 percent of all patients. This number, though, is obviously not complete. The law does not require patients to answer the question, and 12.9 percent — or 617,000 patients...

Since the start of 2025, corporate chains have increasingly become the focus of large-scale boycotts in Texas and beyond, attracting thousands of supporters of the grassroots advocacy group, the People's Union USA. In its latest rallying cry, the organization is calling for a week-long boycott of the fast-food giant McDonald's, starting today. ... The advocacy group is demanding that the fast-food giant company impose "fair taxes, an end to price gouging, real equality and corporate accountability," Schwarz wrote in a post. The campaign urges consumer to not spend their money at the business for a week. ... The company said...

The mullahs threatened they could awaken terrorist “sleeper cells” in the U.S. should we attack them. Well, now we have attacked them—in extraordinary fashion, no less—and multiple cities are on heightened alert for possible violent responses.What if some potential terrorists were let in by an administration that refused to police its borders or deal with illegal immigrants? That could very well be the case, because former President Joe Biden’s regime encountered thousands of Iranian nationals at the border during his term—and let over 700 of them loose.The numbers are sobering. Look at how they got worse each year as Biden...

Four years after Gov. Greg Abbott announced Texas would be the first state to build its own border wall, lawmakers have quietly stopped funding the project, leaving only scattered segments covering a small fraction of the border. That decision, made in the waning hours of this year’s legislative session, leaves the future of the state wall unclear. Just 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to date. The Texas Tribune reported last year that the wall is full of gaps that migrants and smugglers can easily walk...

A Dayton man has been federally indicted by a grand jury in Ohio on three counts related to lying on U.S. immigration and naturalization applications by concealing his alleged role as a perpetrator of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

As images of protests in Southern California have flooded television and social media in recent days, a key question has emerged: Why are so many protesters carrying Mexican flags at an American political protest? The sea of red, white and green Mexican flags at anti-deportation protests this week in Los Angeles has been seized upon by conservatives who argue that the demonstrations are inherently un-American, causing some protesters to consider leaving them at home. Photos of masked provocateurs waving Mexican flags atop burning Waymo taxis spread instantly across conservative social media this weekend. Republicans pointed to them as a prime...

Cernovich @Cernovich Rand Paul’s shell game. He says he supports mass deportations, but don’t use the military! (Nov 2024.) Trump said OK. Let’s fully fund it using ICE. Now Rand says, it’s too much money! He will always come up with a fake reason to block deportations. Open borders Rand.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called on Mexican Americans and undocumented Mexicans living in the US to push back on the proposed levy on remittances put forward by the Republican Congress. "We do not agree with this tax, which, it should be noted, has been proposed by the Republican congress members. So far, they are the ones who have brought it up. We disagree for two reasons: first, it is discriminatory, and second, it violates a treaty between Mexico and the United States," Sheinbaum said.

Illegal immigration is a hot-button topic that's on everyone's lips in the U.S., even catching the attention of billionaires like Elon Musk. Amidst the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis, Elon questions the motivation behind pursuing U.S. citizenship when those entering illegally appear to reap even more benefits. In a fiery Twitter rant, Musk highlighted the paradox where those who enter the country illegally still manage to secure mortgages, bank loans, healthcare, driver's licenses, and insurance. It's a valid point that Elon raises, echoing the sentiments of many Americans. From BizPac Review: Illegal immigration is a hot-button topic that's...
