Former US Secretary of State John Kerry has told the BBC his fellow Democrats allowed the US-Mexico border to be "under siege" during Joe Biden's presidency. In sometimes sharp words, Kerry - who was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004 and a US senator from Massachusetts - said he told Biden the party had "missed" on the issue of immigration for years.

With less than two weeks remaining before his triumphant return to the Oval Office, Trump is already making big moves, including declaring that the Gulf of Mexico will be renamed the Gulf of America. What other new names does he have up his sleeve? The Babylon Bee has obtained the following list of other things Trump plans to rename: All USB ports in the country will be renamed "USA Ports": Only patriotic connections for electronic devices from now on. The Statue of Liberty will now be "Lady Melania": The only proper name for the biggest, most beautiful woman in the...

From linked AP 2019 article: TRUMP: “Also, open up the ridiculously closed water lanes coming down from the North. Don’t pour it out into the Pacific Ocean. Should be done immediately. California desperately needs water, and you can have it now!” THE FACTS: Trump’s point is irrelevant to battling wildfires. “Fire suppression is not limited in any way by the availability of water,” Westerling said. “How does President Trump propose that these waters be used to reduce fire risk? Is he proposing to build a statewide sprinkler system with federal money?”

CNN/YoutubeIn no particular order, here are the biggest hoaxes and misinformation campaigns run by corporate media hacktivists this year. Americans who have lived through Donald Trump’s political career are no strangers to legacy media disinformation. From the Russia collusion hoax to the “very fine people” Charlottesville lie, the litany of dishonest info ops from left-wing activists masquerading as journalists is too long to count. And despite Americans’ waning trust in their ability to report news accurately and fairly, these Democrat Party yes-men show no signs of stopping. Like years before it, 2024 saw no shortage of media hijinks. Whether it...

The country is being inundated with drones. These drones are mapping, and the government is concealing information. Most likely these are drones from China. Iran and Russia are too busy right now to do this. This is a massive coverup.

The Pentagon's Inspector General *CONCEDES* to a House investigation that it misled the American people about National Guard troops being delayed to respond to the J6 riots... Today, the @OversightAdmn Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) sent a letter to Department of Defense (DoD) Inspector General (IG) Robert Storch, demanding a correction of the DoD's factually inaccurate January 6 report, as first reported by The Federalist." "After a thorough investigation, the Subcommittee uncovered evidence substantiating that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the D.C. National Guard to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. In addition, the DoD IG concealed...

Since 1986, whistleblowers have been in the forefront of the government’s war on fraud, accounting for $53 billion, or more than 70%, of the $75 billion recovered from swindlers on defense contracts, from Medicare and from other federal programs.There’s no debate over what’s driving this record: It’s a 1986 federal law that awards whistleblowers up to 30% of the recovery. For the federal government, this is a bargain. Without the law, the government might never even know about most of the $75 billion in fraud that was unearthed. That makes the law “one of the government’s top fraud-fighting tools,” says...

Trump has made concerted attempts to win over Hispanic and black voters, traditionally Democratic constituencies, though his 2020 results with those groups only slightly improved upon his 2016 tallies. Vice President Kamala Harris is struggling to maintain support among the key voting blocs of the Democratic coalition as polling data suggests that former President Donald Trump’s efforts to win over minority voters are succeeding to some degree. Throughout his political career, Trump has made concerted attempts to flip Hispanic and black voters, traditionally Democratic constituencies, though his 2020 results with those groups only slightly improved upon his 2016 tallies. Now,...

Donald Trump hurled his worst slur yet at Vice President Kamala Harris while speaking to his supporters in a small Wisconsin town on Saturday. The former president insulted Harris as he ranted about illegal border crossings, describing her as 'mentally impaired.' 'Kamala is mentally impaired. If a Republican did what she did that Republican would be impeached and removed from office and rightfully so for high crimes and misdemeanors,' Trump began. Trump claimed the Democratic nominee was responsible for migrants who have come into the country illegally and have committed crimes. 'Think of it - 13,099 convicted murderers. They're all...

Today Immigration and Customs Enforcement released some utterly mind-boggling data. Biden and Harris have released killers and rapists into this country and not just a few. We have known about the problem, but enormity of this crime is just now surfacing. There are more than 13,000 non-detained illegal immigrants convicted of homicide currently inside the U.S., according to a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official. According to a letter ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner sent to Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, with statistics on non-detained non-citizens with criminal convictions still inside the U.S. Non-detained citizens include those apprehended at the...

The Department of Homeland Security knows of at least 660,000 illegal immigrants at large in the U.S. with criminal records, including 13,000 convicted killers, nearly 16,000 convicted of sexual assault and 56,000 involved with dangerous drugs. Thousands of other migrants have been charged but not yet convicted of those and other crimes. They are part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “non-detained docket,” a list of more than 7 million illegal immigrants that ICE is supposed to be monitoring as they roam free in the U.S. ICE provided the data to Congress and the House Homeland Security Committee released it...

The Democrat mayor of a Michigan community with a large population of Arab Americans endorsed former President Donald Trump, saying he is the “right choice” during a “critical time.” Ameer Ghalib, who serves as the Mayor of Hamtramck City, admitted in a Facebook post on Sunday that, while he and Trump “may not agree on everything,” Trump is a “man of principles.”

Haitians don't stop being Haitians just because they've entered the American border. And hating #Trump like joyboy Buttigieg (aka Butt boy) does, just won't change the facts. They're eating the dogs and cats.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday said that former President Trump should “tone it down” in an interview on MSNBC, following a post on X by Trump that blamed Democratic rhetoric for political violence. “I would suggest to Donald Trump: tone it down. Let’s have a debate on issues, let’s have honest disagreements, but don’t start calling people terrible names or suggesting that people are communists,” Sanders said in the interview. In Trump’s post on Monday, he wrote,” Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!” Trump’s post came after an apparent...

A resident of Springfield, OH, has told a city commission meeting that locals are being displaced from their homes to make way for Haitian migrants. The man, who has not been named, said the federal government was paying “triple the rent” for Haitians arriving in the town, thus incentivizing landlords to prioritize immigrants over existing residents. Addressing the city commission, the resident – who said he’d worked with the homeless community for more than 25 years – said he didn’t know of “a single homeless Haitian in this town because they all got vouchers” from the federal government. A resident...

It might not be such a “Love Story” after all. Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, may turn more voters away than it attracts. A new post-debate poll from YouGov released Saturday found that 8% of voters said the pop superstar’s nod is either “somewhat” or “much more likely” to convince them to cast their ballot for the Democrat. But a whopping 20% said they are “somewhat” or “much less likely” to vote for former President Donald Trump’s opponent now that Swift has spoken. Advertisement

A CNN host discovered what we have all known for years, what Kamala Harris says and what she does are two totally different things.

Vice President Kamala Harris is facing widespread ridicule over a past statement wherein she claimed her grandmother would travel to rural Indian villages with a “bullhorn” to advocate for abortion access among local women. During a keynote speech at the Madeleine K. Albright Luncheon in 2017, Harris, who was a newly elected Senator from California at the time, began by sharing a story of her personal background and how her grandmother championed “reproductive healthcare” in India. Harris relayed that she comes from “a long line of tough, trailblazing and phenomenal women,” recalling how her grandmother would visit villages armed with...

After eight decades of dormancy, the US Marines have restored a historic World War II airstrip on Peleliu, a small island that is part of the Pacific nation Palau. This strategic move, completed after months of repairs by US naval engineers, saw the landing of a KC-130J long-range tanker aircraft on June 22. The move comes amid escalating tensions between China on one side, and Taiwan and the US on the other. The Peleliu airstrip is one of several bases the Americans are eyeing or have already prepared in the context of growing tensions in the South China Sea and...

in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent. McDonald's has not responded on confirming her employment. As the Free Beacon notes, that's a change from how fast-food chains have previously acknowledged presidential candidates who once worked for them.
