As we previously reported, Kamala Harris did an interview with Bill Whitaker on "60 Minutes' and it was a complete disaster. During the interview, Kamala Harris struggled when asked substantive questions. She notably avoided directly calling Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu an ally, despite the U.S. providing Israel with billions in military aid. Her vague responses did little to clarify her stance, especially when pressed on Netanyahu’s defiance of U.S. calls for a ceasefire. She was no better on domestic issues, Harris faced scrutiny over her economic plans, which could add $3 trillion to the deficit. Her typical talking points about...

Nine surface to air missiles have entered the U.S. through the New Mexico border that are intended for three Iranian assassination teams to target former President Trump’s private plane, according to intelligence gathered by Dr. Pete Chambers, a former Special Operations Flight Surgeon, Green Beret officer and a Task Force Surgeon for Operation Lone Star. “Doc Chambers” revealed during a podcast Thursday that two independent sources on the southern border in New Mexico have provided corroborating intelligence about the surface-to-air missiles to his humanitarian response mission, the Remnant A-Team. Chambers said the weapons were “of possible Iranian origin” and that...

Summary: Though unsourced, the presenters seem knowledgeable and have been reliable regarding border matters in the past. Gist is that they are claiming to have been tipped by sources in US law enforcement that the feds are looking for up to three Iranian MANPADS and nine "operators" that the Sinaloa cartel has been hired to smuggle across the border. Target is Trump's plane. They're unnervingly specific re: the specific ordnance that they say LE is told to look for. Here's what they are describing: (From Wikipedia) Misagh-3 Specifications Range: 5 kilometers Maximum altitude: 4000 meters (approximately 13,123 feet) Maximum speed:...

Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on charges he allegedly took $10 million in illegal campaign contributions and bribes — including free flights and ritzy perks — from foreign nationals in exchange for favors, according to a bombshell federal indictment unsealed by Manhattan prosecutors Thursday.*** “In 2014, Eric Adams, the defendant, became Brooklyn Borough President. Thereafter, for nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him,” the 57-page indictment charges. “As Adams’s prominence and power grew,...

Border Patrol agents are warning that kids as young as 8 are being drugged and smuggled into the US by people traffickers posing as their parents or family members — and nobody knows how common the horrifying practice is. Authorities have rescued children caught up in two different instances of such smuggling in recent weeks — including one instance where the alleged traffickers had birth certificates for multiple kids who they weren’t related to, according to the Border Patrol. Border Patrol sources have told The Post they’ve observed increasing numbers of smugglers posing as family units in order to “recycle”...

Illegal migrants flooding the US are contributing to what could be the highest number of homeless in the country since the data were first recorded, with cities draining their coffers to fund shelters, a report says. At least 550,000 people were reported homeless in January — the same month the US notched the highest number ever of border crossings, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal. The disturbing homeless figure was at least 10% more than January 2023, a year that had the highest overall annual tally since 2007, when the government started reporting its own figures, the...

Illegal immigration, open borders, and crime continue to be major concerns for voters and a big problem for Vice President Kamala Harris and her campaign. While news coverage of the hordes of foreign nationals flooding across the southern border has lessened, many voters are still deeply concerned about what has happened, and what is still happening. The corporate media wants us to believe that the crisis has diminished, and yet the stories of immigrant crimes, homeless encampments, and the visibility of panhandlers at intersections in suburbs keep the concerns alive. Polls and surveys indicate that illegal immigration ranks high among...

Self-professed “progressive” Chicago Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson got an earful over his failed migrant policies from an elderly black resident at a recent town hall. The woman, who said she was 80 years old and grew up in the Jim Crow South, said that Johnson’s pro-migrant policies are literally destroying the Windy City’s black communities. “All I can say to you is that you are a disgrace,” the distraught woman said at the outset of her comments. “I’m an 80-year-old woman, and I’ve never seen anything like this. I grew up in the Jim Crow South, and the policies that...

Does San Diego, California have a 'Hamas' problem? No, not the ignorant student protestors at universities being directed by Hamas's proxies. No, not the terrorists rolling into the area from Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris's open border. They may be seeing actual tunnels, dug by Hamas itself or its clients the Mexican cartels, coming in through Mexico. The U.S. Border Patrol has discovered more than 200 of them since 2003, according to the Department of Customs & Border Protection. The most recent one found, that there's any news on, at least, was a 2022 Tijuana-to-San Diego tunnel , complete with...

Editor’s Note: The thought police at Google immediately slapped a restraining order on this editorial — as they now do with everything we publish about “climate change” to punish us for not toeing the line. Here is the notice we received from them:What do the climate activists really want? Do they have nothing more in mind than a noble crusade to prevent the burning sky from falling on us? Or is the global warming scare just another piece of the revolution? It’s of course the latter. We know this because they’re constantly telling us it is. The most recent admission...

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to deport millions of wealth-shifting illegal immigrants “is not good policy,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at a political event in Texas on Friday. Mayorkas doubled down on his business-first extraction migration economic policy at the Texas Tribune event but lamented public opposition to elite demands for more cheap immigrant labor, saying, “[I] speak to state leaders, senators, House members on both sides of the aisle, and they will speak of visa [worker] programs and the need to expand the number of visas … [and yet] nothing, nothing is accomplished.”

Self-described “progressives” appear to be tiring of Kamala Harris’s effort to downplay her left-wing policies, and are reminding her that they do not want to be taken for granted as she tries to portray herself as a “moderate” candidate. While Harris told CNN last month, in her first and only media interview, that “my values have not changed,” Harris’s campaign has been telling the media that she no longer supports some of her most radical policies, such as canceling private health insurance, defunding the police, ending detention for illegal migrants, backing the “Green New Deal,” banning fracking, and other policies...

Trump War Room @TrumpWarRoom MUST WATCH: Comrade Kamala's record is so extreme, even Erin Burnett couldn't believe it. "You would be hard to think you would come up with taxpayer-funding gender transitions for detained migrants."

President Joe Biden (D) and his administration have written almost 300 executive orders to open the nation’s border during his and Vice President Kamala Harris’s (D) first year in the White House, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) claimed on Monday. In his social media post, Kennedy sought to remind voters about actions taken by the Biden administration when it came to disastrous border policies that are hurting citizens. “Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House wrote nearly 300 executive orders to open our border in just their FIRST YEAR in office,” he wrote: John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy · Follow Reminder: The Biden-Harris White House...

When the U.S. Congress passed—and President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law—the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965, the move was largely seen as symbolic."The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants,” lead supporter Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy (D-Mass.) told the Senate during debate. “It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”That sentiment was echoed by Johnson, who, upon signing the act on October 3, 1965, said the bill would not be revolutionary: “It does not affect the lives...

President Trump has approved a plan to reduce the cap for refugee admissions to the country for fiscal year 2020 to 18,000, the lowest level on record since the program began more than three decades ago. In a statement announcing the move this weekend, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that “the core of the Trump Administration’s foreign policy is a commitment to make decisions based on reality, not wishes, and to drive optimal outcomes based on concrete facts.” Pompeo went on to say that “this year’s determination on refugee admissions does just that, even as we sustain our longstanding...

The federal government has been grossly irresponsible in its neglect of mounting immigration problems, even as these problems place unbearable burdens on states like California. It is regrettable that states have reached a point where the only avenue they have for justice is the courts. It is even more regrettable that this Administration and this Congress stand by and allow the federal courts to decide the nation's immigration policies. Taxpayers simply cannot continue to sustain new populations the size of San Diego or the state of Nevada every year. California is sending up the red flag tat Washington should heed.Unprecedented...

First it was pretending she’s not the border czar. Then it was downplaying her running mate’s stolen valor controversy. Now, regime-approved media want you to believe that Vice President Kamala Harris wants to finish wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border.On Tuesday, Democrats’ favorite propaganda outlet Axios published an article in which authors Alex Thompson and Hans Nichols claimed that Harris “pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border” if elected this November. The two “reporters” asserted it’s “the latest example of Harris flip-flopping on her past liberal positions” since becoming Democrats’ 2024 presidential...

Axois is claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris supports former President Donald Trump’s border wall because she backs the Senate’s border bill that requires agency officials to spend border wall funds appropriated under Trump. An Axios headline makes the claim, “Harris flip-flops on building the border wall” even though the article includes no quotes or statements from Harris or her campaign. Her campaign pushed back, telling Axios: Harris advisers note that the bipartisan border proposal didn’t include any new money to continue building the wall. It just extended the timeline to spend funds that had been appropriated during Trump’s last...

If she's elected president, Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border — a project she once opposed and called "un-American" during the Trump administration.
