A new report from the Government Accountability Office found that the Biden administration released nearly 90 percent of migrants encountered at the southern border through parole authority at the height of its catch-and-release policies.The report details how the Department of Homeland Security under former President Joe Biden and then-DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas dramatically expanded the use of “humanitarian parole” between early 2021 and Jan. 20, 2025.According to the GAO, parole authority had previously been used sparingly by presidential administrations before Biden took office.“Specifically, our analysis showed that OFO and Border Patrol granted relatively few paroles during fiscal years 2019 and...

When Xi Jinping rolled out the red carpet for Gavin Newsom inside the Great Hall of the People in October 2023, the staging told you everything you needed to know about who the meeting was actually for. The general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party does not summon backbench governors for ceremonial handshakes. He receives heads of state. And the American official sitting across from him that day was not a head of state. He was the governor of one state in a federal union, traveling on what his own office called a “subnational” diplomatic mission to a hostile foreign...

The European Union is moving to tighten migration controls after years of struggling to deport most migrants ordered to leave, with a top official saying the bloc is now working to "get control back" ahead of sweeping new asylum rules set to take effect in June. European Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner said deportations have increased and new border screening systems are identifying potential security threats, part of a broader effort to address gaps in enforcement that have drawn criticism from the United States and fueled political pressure across Europe. "Ten years ago, we didn't have a...

The FBI is conducting interviews with current and former CIA officers as part of an investigation into ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s role in an intelligence assessment that found Russia sought to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation. FBI agents began questioning employees last week at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the person said. The interviews appeared to focus solely on Brennan and his statements to Congress, and the decision to include an unverified dossier about President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia in a 2017 intelligence assessment about Moscow’s election meddling,...

Former CIA Director John Brennan admitted to MSNOW anchor Nicolle Wallace that there is a “legion” of Deep State operatives in the DOJ and the CIA resisting Trump’s orders. MSNOW hack Nicolle Wallace absurdly accused President Trump of turning the DOJ and FBI into political arms of his political operation. She never said a word when Merrick Garland acted like Joe Biden’s personal lawyer and approved an FBI raid with deadly force on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago – at Biden request. “What still exists in the system to slow that down?” Nicolle Wallace asked Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan. “There’s still a...

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney posted on X on Friday, greeting former President Barack Obama, which drew a lot of attention. "Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us." It even had a music track. That prompted many on social media to wonder what Obama was doing meeting with Carney, since Obama is no longer in government. Carney seemed to be implying they were somehow working on something to "build a better...

The Deep State leaked a CIA Iran war dossier to the Washington Post that refutes Trump’s claims that the Iranian Regime’s missiles are mostly decimated. On Wednesday, President Trump sparred with a reporter in the Oval Office during a meeting with UFC fighters. The reporter asked Trump about his decision to pause Project Freedom amid a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump told the reporter that the US military has decimated Iran’s missile capabilities and they probably only have about 18 percent left. “You’re facing an opponent right now in Iran that has refused to submit. You seem optimistic...

Andrew Hugg, a U.S. Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, was caught on hidden camera casually revealing sensitive information to a stranger in a public restaurant.

Whether in political parties or the new media, there seems to be a whole lot of Chinese-friendly ideas floating around. hina has successfully infiltrated every aspect of American politics, and we’re seeing the consequences. What paved the way forward was the utter fragmentation of the American political scene. No longer do we have a strong Democrat-versus-Republican divide; instead, myriad political splinter groups, Democrat subsets: labor-backed organizers, libertarian-leaning activists, pro-immigration coalitions, and growing Muslim and other identity-based blocs, or the smaller number of Republican subsets: evangelical conservatives, MAGA-aligned populists, America Firsters, or defense hawks. In addition, our government is fragmented: there...

A recent poll showed current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who had worked in Cuba with the Marxist Venceremos Brigade trailing Councilwoman Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Only 24% of Los Angeles residents approve of the job that Bass is doing, which included the worst wildfires in the city’s history, while 47% disapprove. If disappointed voters replace Bass with an even more extreme version, that will be in line with what happened in New York City where a widely despised former Mayor Bill de Blasio was, after a one term break to make room for...

Most Americans still don’t fully understand what happened under Biden… 8% of Nicaragua entered the US in 4 years. 8% of the entire country. 7% of Cuba. 6% of Haiti. 5% of Honduras.

Colorado attorneys are starting to push back after a certification prompt began appearing when they log into the state’s court e-filing system. The requirement traces back to Senate Bill 25-276 and related statutes, including C.R.S. § 24-74-105, which deal with how the state handles nonpublic personal identifying information. Under that law, access to certain data comes with a certification—made under penalty of perjury—about how it will be used. On paper, the statute applies broadly to third parties accessing protected data. In practice, though, the certification has now been built into Colorado Courts E-Filing (CCE), meaning attorneys are being asked to...

We had 550,000 troops and over 4,000 combat aircraft based right in South Vietnam in 1968. Ten minutes from takeoff to mission. 2 million Vietnamese and 58,000 Americans died. AND WE LOST THE WAR.So anybody who even suggests that invading Iran can work, is retarded. Especially when all of our potential force assembly locations are in proven missile and drone range. (This ain't Desert Storm. Examples: The US Navy has completely fled the region. Our critical aircraft are destroyed on the ground from Kuwait to Saudi Arabia.)Iran is 10X bigger than South Vietnam, with 6X its 1970 population. Its bigger...

Progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal calls for reparations for illegal immigrants ‘traumatized’ by ICE Progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) is calling for illegal immigrants to be paid reparations over alleged trauma they sustained from the Trump administration’s crackdown and ICE operations across the US. Jayapal made the shocking revelation on Friday in front of a panel of “experts” during a hearing she hosted titled “Kidnapped and Disappeared: Trump’s Attack on Children.” “We are going to have to have some form of reparation for the kids and the families that have been traumatized through all of this,” Jayapal said at the conclusion...

Former CIA Director John Brennan sparked a fierce backlash from the White House and critics on social media after saying during a cable news appearance that he finds Iran more credible than President Trump on the question of whether negotiations to end the war are underway. Brennan made the remarks Monday on MSNBC’s MS NOW, after host Symone Sanders noted that Iran has flatly denied it is engaged in talks with the Trump administration — directly contradicting the president’s public claims that negotiations are proceeding. Sanders told Brennan she was “wary of taking the word of Iran … an authoritarian...

President Trump said he is “not a fan” of former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent following Kent’s resignation and reports that the FBI is investigating him over allegations of leaking classified information. Trump sharply criticized Kent in response to a question from The Daily Wire’s White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan, who is flying with him as part of the press pool, and portrayed him as ungrateful after being brought into the administration. “Look, I’m not a fan of the guy,” Trump said, adding that he felt bad for Kent after his wife’s death and losing two Congressional races....

The Chinese did, in fact, meddle in the 2020 presidential vote in the United States, and the intelligence community did hide that information from President Donald Trump. That's according to a new investigative report at Just the News on the clouded vote results that already are known to have been under the undue influence of two factors. Those are the FBI's decision to interfere by falsely claiming that accurate information about Biden family scandals revealed in a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden was Russian disinformation and Mark Zuckerberg's decision to put his thumb on the scale by handing out $400...
