GOP Rep Says DHS Are Complicit in Human Trafficking at the Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Texas Rep. Michael McCaul said Sunday that the Department of Homeland Security is complicit in human trafficking at the U.S. southern border with Mexico.

McCaul made the comment while appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” hosted by Martha Raddatz, who turned the topic to House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s call for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to resign or face impeachment on Tuesday for his handling of the U.S. southern border with Mexico. . .

“They [DHS] are complicit with the biggest human trafficking event of our lifetime,” McCaul told Raddatz and others on the panel. “And I think the American people deserve some accountability.” (Read more from “GOP Rep Says DHS Are Complicit in Human Trafficking at the Border” HERE)

Build the Wall? Finland Plans Border Fence With Russia as NATO Membership Looms

/0 Comments/in , /by

As walls go, it’s shaping up to be far less imposing than the Berlin Wall and not nearly as politically divisive as former President Donald Trump’s coveted barrier between the U.S. and Mexico.

But Finland‘s planned border fence with Russia looks to be a major geopolitical statement, one that could fuel even greater tensions between the Kremlin and the West while signaling that Russia‘s war in Ukraine may have forever altered Europe’s attitude toward its hostile neighbor.

Finnish border guard officials announced recently that they will begin construction next spring on a nearly two-mile stretch of fence on the Finland-Russia border near the eastern town of Imatra, according to Euronews and other media outlets. Beyond that initial construction, Finnish leaders earlier this month proposed spending up to $143 million to build many more miles of border fence along the country’s boundary with Russia, with the fence eventually stretching well over 100 miles.

If completed, such a fence could cover between 10% and 20% of Finland‘s 833-mile border with Russia, the largest such boundary that any European nation shares with Russia. (Read more from “Build the Wall? Finland Plans Border Fence With Russia as NATO Membership Looms” HERE)

A Whopping 70% Of FBI’s Abortion-Related Probes Involve Threats to Pro-Life Outfits

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Seventy percent of the FBI’s abortion-related cases since the leak of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson involve attacks and threats against pro-life facilities, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray said.

Mr. Wray told the Senate Homeland Security Committee that the FBI has treated violence against pro-life and pro-choice organizations equally while disclosing that anti-abortion groups have been the primary targets of post-Dobbs violence.

“We have quite a number of investigations as we speak into attacks or threats against pregnancy resource centers, faith-based organizations, and other pro-life organizations,” he said, TWT’s Valerie Richardson reported.

Handgun Owners Carrying Daily Doubled Under President Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

Americans feel less safe under President Joe Biden, and thanks to soft-on-crime woke cities, crime has surged during the last two years.

As Biden continues to threaten the Second Amendment, Americans are taking their safety into their hands.

According to a new study by the University of Washington, the number of U.S. adult handgun owners carrying daily nearly doubled in four years.

The November 16 study found that 6 million adults carried a firearm on themselves in 2019, which is up by 3 million in 2015.

Self-protection was cited as the main reason for the uptick in gun holders, with seven out of 10 saying that they carry a gun to protect themselves against other people. (Read more from “Handgun Owners Carrying Daily Doubled Under President Biden” HERE)

Monica Lewinsky Inadvertently Reveals How the Liberal Echo Chamber Is Collapsing on Twitter

/0 Comments/in , /by

I guess I don’t understand how Monica Lewinsky could still be supportive of Democrats, after the Clintons’ actions against her. You might have thought she would have learned something from bad decisions. But not so much. She/her lists her pronouns in her Twitter profile, so you know she’s all in with the current talking points. That naturally means she’s in with the liberal meltdown over Elon Musk and the changes on Twitter.

Imagine being upset that the owner of Twitter asks your opinion in public polls, such as on the reinstatement of President Donald Trump. Now you might think that Musk is making his own decisions anyway and that free speech isn’t up to a public poll. But what’s wrong with asking people their opinion about how the site should be run? It at least gives the impression you give a darn about what your users think. But liberals — who don’t seem to like free speech — had had a ton of meltdowns.

The poll didn’t end up going very well for Lewinsky, with almost 90 percent preferring “public poll” versus Twitter employees making “really important decisions” for the platform. That shows how much Twitter users thought of the decisions of prior employees.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Early voting polls opened for the second day on Sunday for the Georgia Senate runoff deciding whether Democrats expand their Senate majority.

After the first day of voting on Saturday, more than 90,000 early and absentee votes were tallied, according to figures from the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office posted as of early Sunday morning. By the end of Day 2, voter turnout is expected to top six figures, according to Gabriel Sterling, a top Georgia election official.

Turnout has been especially strong among black voters, who have cast 41,195 — or 46% — of the 90,357 votes so far, according to Sunday morning state figures. Women made up 56% of votes cast to date, and the demographic groups with the highest turnout were voters between the ages of 50 and 70 years old and young people (18-24 years old.)

Early voting opens up as campaigning enters an especially nasty phase with opponents Herschel Walker and incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA). (Read more from “Georgia Early Voting off to Robust Start Following Court Battle and Nasty Campaign” HERE)

Border Patrol Official Rips White House Response to Illegal Immigration Crisis

/0 Comments/in , /by

National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd accused the White House of continuing to “deflect and lie” about the situation at the southern border on Saturday.

Judd accused the Biden administration of “trying to set a new normal” regarding illegal crossings and the smuggling of illegal drugs into the United States. Judd also claimed to Fox News that the media are covering for the White House by not investigating the administration’s handling of the border.

“They don’t have to make changes if the American public isn’t upset about what’s going on,” Judd said. “But let me be clear: What we’re seeing on the border is nothing more than chaos, and it’s allowing these cartels to bring in the fentanyl. All illegal immigration is doing is facilitating the trafficking of higher value products such as drugs, criminals from special interest countries, or criminal aliens from countries, and that’s dangerous to the American people.”

Judd also addressed recent data from Fox News regarding the Del Rio Sector of the border, which had 10,343 illegal crossings, 5,903 known gotaways, and six sex offenders arrested in a span of seven days. The National Border Patrol Council president claimed the U.S. is “seeing this everywhere” across all nine borders and that, historically, only 30,000 to 40,000 should be seized at the border per month. It’s up to 200,000 people being seized at the border every month.

Elon Musk Reveals His 2024 Presidential Pick

/0 Comments/in , /by

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said he would support Ron DeSantis if the Florida Governor chooses to run for president in 2024.

“As a reminder, I was a significant supporter of the Obama-Biden presidency and (reluctantly) voted for Biden over Trump,” Musk tweeted Friday.

“But freedom of speech is the bedrock of a strong democracy and must take precedence,” he added. “My preference for the 2024 presidency is someone sensible and centrist. I had hoped that would the case for the Biden administration, but have been disappointed so far.”

In response to @ProudElephantUS asking in the same thread Musk if he would support Ron DeSantis in 2024, Musk responded, “Yes.”

Putin Calls for International Settlements Based on Blockchain and Digital Currencies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin believes a new system for international money transfers is needed to reduce dependence on big banks and third parties. He is convinced that cross-border payments relying on digital currency and distributed ledger technology will be “much more convenient.”

President of Russia Vladimir Putin has called for the establishment of a new system for international settlements, independent from banks and third-party interference. It can be created using digital currency technologies and distributed ledgers, the Russian leader said, quoted by local media.

Putin was speaking during a conference devoted to artificial intelligence and organized by Russia’s largest lender, Sberbank. During his address, he emphasized that financial flows and payments between nations are currently under threat amid tense relations between Russia and the West.

“We all know very well that under today’s illegitimate restrictions, one of the lines of attack is through settlements. And our financial institutions know this better than anyone because they are exposed to these practices,” the president elaborated.

‘All-Knowing’ Fauci’s Memory Suddenly Vanishes When He Has to Testify; Fauci Emailed Friend Saying Masks Were ‘Ineffective’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Fauci was deposed on Wednesday by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. Landry labeled Fauci the “man who single-handedly wrecked the US economy based upon ‘the science, follow the science.’” But “over the course of seven hours, we discovered that he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his COVID response,” Landry said. . .

How many lies did Fauci tell on Wednesday? The transcript has not been released, but a few “pants on fire” snippets have come out. After Fauci championed lockdowns to vanquish COVID, top scientists from Oxford, Stanford and Harvard in October 2020 issued the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued that “focused protection” for high-risk groups (such as the elderly) was vastly preferable to shutting down society.

When asked about his role in assailing that Declaration, Fauci declared, “I have a very busy day job running a $6 billion institute. I don’t have time to worry about things like the Great Barrington Declaration.” But less than two weeks after the Declaration’s release, Fauci emailed Deborah Birx, the White House COVID chief, “I have come out very strongly publicly against the Great Barrington Declaration.” Fauci did multiple media interviews castigating any suggestion that lockdowns were unnecessary to save America.

Fauci apparently sees himself as part of a caste of politically favored scientists entitled to rule Americans’ lives. Schmitt tweeted that Fauci declared during the deposition that “the rest of us ‘don’t have the ability’ to determine what’s best for ourselves.”

Fauci has consistently behaved as if federal health officials deserve unchallengeable dictatorial powers. When a federal judge in April struck down the Biden administration mask mandate for airplane travelers, Fauci caterwauled, “This is a CDC issue, it should not have been a court issue.” Fauci neglected to reveal the secret provision of the Constitution that entitles political appointees to nullify the rest of the nation’s founding document.

Fauci Emailed Friend Saying Masks Were ‘Ineffective,’ Pushed for Mandates Anyway, Missouri AG Says

By Fox News. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said Friday that during his seven-hour deposition with Dr. Anthony Fauci, new information revealed that two months after Fauci told a friend masks were “ineffective,” he supported mask mandates.

On Friday, the Show-Me State Republican attorney general tweeted a “tidbit” from his deposition with the outgoing head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases:

“Another tidbit from Fauci depo: In Feb ‘20 he emailed a friend advising her masks were ineffective. Confirmed again on Mar 31. On Apr 3 he’s adamant masks should be worn even though he couldn’t cite a single study to prove it. Mandates followed—Lives ruined.”

“COVID tyranny is born,” Schmitt continued.
