It’s January 20. That means we are halfway through Joe Biden’s presidential term. Biden has presided over the massive Biden Border Rush, bringing in millions of illegal aliens, about half of whom are allowed to stay. This is not due to incompetence or neglect. It’s administration policy. At the midpoint of Biden’s term, what can be done?

The Biden Border Rush continues and looks to get even worse with the scheduled termination of Title 42 on May 23 (as if it’s not bad enough already). The administration of Texas Governor Greg Abbott is fighting back with Operation Lone Star and is creating Texas’ own border policy. Drastic times call for drastic measures. Let’s look at six parts of the policy.

If thousands of unidentified migrants can sneak into our country undetected, so can an untold number of terrorists. With every day that passes, Democrats are taking a step closer to becoming the party of drugs, cartels and human traffickers — a grave threat to America’s national security. The Biden administration’s reckless open borders policy has caused chaos and human suffering at the southern border where illegal crossings have surged to a 20-year high. On Thursday, border officials announced that a staggering 18,890 unaccompanied children were apprehended crossing the U.S. border illegally in March, up from 9,271 in February. That’s just...

The COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic continues. As of today, the world has had over 1,340,00 cases with over 74,000 deaths. Since ancient times, diseases have spread throughout the world. But nowadays they can spread so much faster. With today’s rapid air travel, an infected person could fly around the world and infect hundreds of people before he’s even aware that he himself is infected. It’s a global problem. So, how are “globalists” handling it?

A must watch about National Emergencies. The history of it, and President Trumps's National Emergency on the border. Please share with all.

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez declared that the Trump administration’s immigration policies would have killed Jesus Christ during a scathing statement Thursday attacking Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. The Illinois Democrat used the entirety of his time at the House Judiciary Committee hearing to trash Ms. Nielsen as a “remorseless” liar for her repeated claims that the department does not have a family separation policy. “It is repugnant to me and astonishing to me that during Christmas, a time in which we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ — a Jesus Christ who had to flee for his life with Mary and...

For the last five years, I have been taking part in a terrible battle. I have been on the front lines of a war that I did not sign up for. I was drafted against my own will to fight. Or, so I thought. Five years ago somebody wreaked havoc on the life of my Mother. Somebody who was suppose to take care of her and protect her. This someone was a doctor. She approached this doctor seeking help for serious back pain that was keeping her from doing her job. He was an ally and someone she thought that...

One of Democracy Now!’s featured headline stories yesterday centered on the Government Accountability Office audit which claims that the fence being built along the US Border with Mexico is years behind schedule and has run billions of dollars over initial cost projections. Auditors claim that the completed fence will cost an additional $6.5 billion in maintenance expenses, but more importantly, there will be “no mechanisms to gauge its actual impact.” There are two points, then, to consider when it comes to the border fence: 1) Is it worth it? and 2) Will it work? Naturally, Democracy Now!’s host Amy Goodman...

PHOENIX (Reuters) – Hit men dressed in fake police tactical gear burst into a home in Phoenix, rake it with gunfire and execute a man.

WEST COLUMBIA — When private property gets in the way of a road project, its owners will be moving out of the way, one way or another, in almost every case. With a widening of Highway 36 on the horizon and state and federal officials ready to drive the Trans-Texas Corridor through the Lone Star State, many land-owning Texans are preparing to defend their property from their own government. Brazoria County residents troubled by the looming eminent domain fights came to the Gulf Coast Christian Center on Saturday morning to voice their views to Tom Lizardo, chief of staff for...

Israel has begun deploying stationary robot gun-and-sensor installations along its borders with the Gaza Strip, according to reports. Both Jane's Defence Weekly and Defence News reported last week that the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have begun deploying automated gun stations in pillboxes along the Gaza border. The robot systems are said to mount cal-fifty (12.7mm) machine guns, protected by "armoured folding shields" until ready to fire.

The Mexican government has asked the U.S. provide more aid and assistance as Mexico wages its counter-drug war. In the past Mexico has not asked the U.S. for financial aid, but in this case Mexico is interested in American help with surveillance and intelligence, to include the use of UAVs like the Predator. Mexican President Felipe Calderon has also said that he wants the U.S. to help Mexico stop arms smugglers from shipping weapons from the U.S. to Mexico. May 31, 2007: Members of a Mexican teachers union fought with riot police in Mexico City. The protestors were demonstrating against...

Democrats Say Event Is Bid To Score Political PointsLAREDO, Tex., July 7 -- House Republicans brought their get-tough immigration proposal on Friday to the city dubbed the nation's "Gateway to Mexico" to make their case for tightening the border as a way to prevent terrorist incursions. "It's elementary that to defend ourselves against our determined and resourceful enemies, our border must be secure," said Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.), chairman of the House International Relations subcommittee on terrorism. "Border vulnerabilities are opportunities for terrorists."

There was a thread last night, I even posted to the author that I was going to use it. But I could not locate the thread this morning, so I had to Google the topic instead. See for example this article first. Mildly vulgar language...and an assonance. And also, since today is May 1, a two-for-one bonus... Researcher makes oil from pig sh*t: Peak oil? Why, this ought to figx it. ;-) But that's not the least Forget the Middle East The Mid-West will become the "Big Sh*t". Full Disclosure: If this comes off, will the Arabs complain we are...

During a brief stop in Nacogdoches Monday, independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman unveiled his secret campaign weapon to a roomful of supporters, college students and a few who showed up just to be entertained. "I'm the only candidate running for governor who has no political experience whatsoever," he bragged. Judging from the Aggie-style "whoops" and the thunderous applause that followed, that lack of experience may very well be enough to give him a shot at the governor's mansion. Friedman claimed that his two biggest opponents — Rick Perry and Carole Strayhorn — had a combined 59 years of political experience...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – At a ceremony today to unveil the national Money Laundering Threat Assessment, Julie Myers, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), highlighted ICE’s innovative efforts and ongoing commitment to combat those money laundering threats identified in the report. “ICE is proud of its substantial contributions to the government’s first national Money Laundering Threat Assessment. We look forward to working with our partners in formulating a comprehensive strategy to address these threats,” said Assistant Secretary Myers. “Over the past few years, ICE has dramatically expanded its anti-money laundering efforts to address those...

No slowdown in influx of Mexican patients[From special news section entitled "The Border -- Immigration, Trade, Crime, Culture and Politics"] By Tim Steller NOGALES, Ariz. - Immigration inspectors are trying to limit the number of poor Mexican patients they wave across the border to Arizona hospitals, but there's no evidence the effort is working. Tucson Medical Center is on pace this year to treat more patients given medical waivers -or, humanitarian parole - at the border than it did last year. The hospital treated 25 such patients last year at a cost to TMC of $1.5 million, said Robert Guerrero,...
