Leaked Audio: DHS Secretary Says Border Crisis is ‘Unsustainable,’ ‘We’re Going to Lose’ (VIDEO)

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas privately told Border Patrol agents recently that the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is “unsustainable” and that “we’re going to lose” if the influx continues and the “borders are the first line of defense.”

The secretary’s desperate message to immigration enforcement officials was reportedly recorded in secret by a Border Patrol agent and obtained by Fox News this week.

“A couple of days ago I was down in Mexico, and I said look, you know, if, if our borders are the first line of defense, we’re going to lose and this is unsustainable,” Mayorkas said. “We can’t continue like this, our people in the field can’t continue and our system isn’t built for it.”

Mayorkas reportedly told the agents that the current situation at the border “cannot continue” and added that the federal government’s system was not designed to handle such an influx of migrants.

Hunter Biden’s Russian Prostitute Videos Indict Both His Father and US Intelligence Agencies

A Russian woman, a drug dealer, and two of his compatriots may have stolen a laptop from Hunter Biden in 2018, Hunter told a prostitute in another sex video, leaving the president’s son concerned he may be blackmailed because of his father’s political position.

While the salacious video of Hunter Biden released earlier this week exposes more details about the troubling lifestyle of the president’s son, it reveals much more about a corrupt and complicit media, a corrupt and incompetent intelligence community, and a corrupt and compromised Joe Biden. . .

The video then captured Hunter telling the prostitute that during the summer of 2018 he had nearly overdosed from drugs while partying in Las Vegas with his drug dealer and two other guys. When he came to later, “there was this Russian 35-year-old, really nice, pure brunette,” Hunter explained. He then discovered his laptop was missing. . .

The corporate media’s bias in favor of then-candidate Joe Biden was clear to all but the most hardened partisans on the left, but Wednesday’s reporting from The Daily Mail now reveals another reality: that while the corrupt media ignored the story, even a hooker saw the significance of a missing laptop containing Hunter Biden’s sex videos. . .

The corruption revealed, however, extends much beyond the media, to the intelligence community. Here, recall that after The New York Post reported on the contents of the Hunter Biden MacBook, “50 former senior intelligence officials,” led by former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, “signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son ‘has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.’” (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s Russian Prostitute Videos Indict Both His Father and US Intelligence Agencies” HERE)

President Biden Already Weighing His Next Unconstitutional Action

President Joe Biden revealed this week that his administration is looking into whether he can federally mandate masks for all public school districts, even though such a policy would violate the states’ right to govern their own education and public health systems.

He at least seemed to understand the bounds of federalism: “I don’t believe that I do [have that power] thus far,” Biden told reporters. “We’re checking that.”

Biden’s advisers are going to be told the same thing they were told about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s updated eviction moratorium: You can’t do that. Indeed, Biden’s team was told not just once, but several times, that any federal extension of the moratorium would be unconstitutional because of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the subject.

Researchers Claim Facebook Threatened to Sue Them Unless They Shut Down Project

Researchers studying Instagram’s algorithm said they were forced to shut down their project after Facebook threatened to sue them.

AlgorithmWatch, a German research and advocacy organization, issued a statement Friday alleging Facebook had threatened it with legal action. The group was researching Instagram’s news feed algorithm by recruiting volunteers to install a browser extension that automatically scraped their Instagram newsfeed data.

Researchers allege Facebook, the owner of Instagram, told them the extension violated its terms of service and the company would pursue a “more formal engagement” if they did not disable it. The group said this was a “thinly veiled threat.”

“Facebook’s reaction shows that any organization that attempts to shed light on one of their algorithms is under constant threat of being sued,” the researchers wrote. The group shut down its project on July 13, citing fear of legal action from the tech giant.

Report: Biden Considering COVID Vaccine Passport for Interstate Travel

A report that the Biden administration is discussing the possibility of vaccine passports for interstate travel drew outrage on Friday across social media.

The Associated Press, noting President Biden has become more “aggressive” in his push for COVID-19 mandates, reported “more severe measures — such as mandating vaccines for interstate travel or changing how the federal government reimburses treatment for those who are unvaccinated and become ill with COVID-19 — have been discussed” by the White House.

But the administration is “worried that they would be too polarizing at this time.”

An administration official told the AP “the interstate travel vaccination requirement was not under consideration at the moment.”

STUDY: Babies Born During COVID-19 Pandemic Tied With Lower IQ

Preliminary findings by U.S. researchers suggest children born during the COVID-19 pandemic show lower IQ scores than those who were born before January 2020, but the underlying causes are still unknown.

It may be due to the first 1,000 days of a child’s life being the most crucial to development.

The findings were posted in medRxiv ahead of peer review on Aug. 11, stemming from a survey among roughly 605 children in Rhode Island, most of them White, including 39 born in 2018 and 2019. . .

The study of pre-pandemic babies shows that they had an IQ ranging from 98.5 to 107.3.

But the IQs of babies born during the pandemic sharply fell 27 to 37 points. (Read more from “STUDY: Babies Born During COVID-19 Pandemic Tied With Lower IQ” HERE)

US Embassy Urges Americans to Leave Afghanistan Immediately; This Afghan Rout is Entirely on Joe Biden; Biden Orders THOUSANDS of Troops Back to Afghanistan

By The Hill. The U.S. Embassy in Kabul is urging all Americans to leave Afghanistan “immediately” as the security situation in the country continues to deteriorate due to advances made by the Taliban in key provinces amid the U.S.’s troop withdrawal.

The embassy urged all U.S. citizens to vacate the country “using available commercial flight options.” It said its ability to assist Americans in Afghanistan is “extremely limited” because of the security conditions and reduced staffing.

The embassy is offering repatriation loans to citizens who cannot afford to purchase an airline ticket.

The notice comes days after the embassy issued a similar security alert on Saturday urging U.S. citizens to leave the country immediately.

The Taliban has seized a number of key provincial capitals in Afghanistan in recent days as the U.S. and NATO inch closer to completing their military withdrawals from the country. The U.S. is set to complete its withdrawal by Aug. 31, according to President Biden. (Read more from “US Embassy Urges Americans to Leave Afghanistan Immediately” HERE)

This Afghan Rout is Entirely on Joe Biden

By New York Post. It doesn’t get more idiotic: “The Taliban also has to make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the international community,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said with a straight face Wednesday.

Oh, and the State Department has sent diplomats to “press the Taliban to stop their military offensive and to negotiate a political settlement, which is the only path to stability and development in Afghanistan.” They’re also begging to have the US embassy in Kabul left alone, warning that future US aid is at risk — and so effectively promising that we’ll actually subsidize these barbarians.

Hello? The Taliban has never given a damn about world opinion or “stability and development.” It was a global pariah when it ruled Afghanistan in the ’90s, ignoring the handwringing as it crushed the country’s women, destroyed those 1,500-year-old Buddha statues and hosted the al Qaeda plotters of 9/11. . .

The White House can pretend that diplomacy might somehow save the Afghan government, but its real sentiments rest in President Joe Biden’s words while campaigning last year, when he said he’d have “zero responsibility” for what happened after he pulled US troops out.

We didn’t disagree with Biden’s move to remove the last US ground forces, just as Donald Trump promised as well when he was in office. That’s plainly what most Americans wanted, too. Afghanistan had become an endless war. (Read more from “This Afghan Rout is Entirely on Joe Biden” HERE)

Biden Orders Thousands of Troops Back to Afghanistan as Taliban Sweeps Country

By Breitbart. The Pentagon announced Thursday it will deploy three infantry battalions, or roughly 3,000 troops, to assist with the reduction of American civilians at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, and the evacuation of Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants from the country.

The battalions are already in the region, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said during a press conference. They will move to the Hamid Karzai Airport in Kabul within the next 24-48 hours. Two of the battalions are Marine battalions while the third is an Army battalion. They will join the 650 U.S. troops already in Kabul.

In addition, a joint Army and Air Force support element of around 1,000 personnel will help with the processing of the SIV applicants, Kirby said. The element would move into Qatar in the coming days, he said.

Lastly, an infantry brigade combat team will deploy to Kuwait to be “postured and prepared if needed to provide additional security at the airport,” Kirby added. That brigade combat team would arrive sometime in the next week, he said.

“These forces are being deployed to support the orderly and safe reduction of civilian personnel at the request of the State Department and to help facilitate an accelerated process of working through SIV applicants. This is a temporary mission with a narrow focus,” he said. (Read more from “Biden Orders Thousands of Troops Back to Afghanistan as Taliban Sweeps Country” HERE)

First Major City to Require Proof of Full Vaccination for Indoor Activities

San Francisco is the first major U.S. city to require proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 for certain indoor activities, Mayor London Breed announced Thursday.

“Today’s announcement is about making sure everyone feels a little bit safer in our city, but more importantly, what we’re seeing now with this virus is very challenging and a great concern,” Breed said. “Starting August 20, you will need proof of a vaccination in businesses for your customers in high contact areas.”

High contact areas include bars, restaurants, theaters, entertainment venues, indoor gyms, fitness centers, and large indoor events with more than 1,000 people. In addition to requiring that customers show proof of vaccination, employees at such establishments must submit proof of full vaccination to employers by October 13.

“This is not about threatening the loss of a job, this is about a requirement that we expect people to comply with, and then we have the ability to take the appropriate action,” Breed said. “Whether or not we will move toward the termination component is yet to be determined.” (Read more from “First Major City to Require Proof of Full Vaccination for Indoor Activities” HERE)

CONFIRMED: Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard Birthday Bash a Super Spreader Event

Former president Barack Obama shrugged off the concerns of scientific experts by throwing himself a massive 60th birthday party at his $17.5 million estate on Martha’s Vineyard this past weekend.

As usual, the scientific experts were correct: The star-studded affair was a confirmed “super spreader” event, putting countless lives at risk and further cementing Obama’s reputation as a narcissistic war criminal.

According to data compiled by the New York Times, COVID-19 infections in Dukes County, Mass., which contains Martha’s Vineyard, have spiked in the days since Obama’s selfish display of clout. Cases have increased 1,829 percent over the last two weeks, while hospitalizations have jumped 157 percent.

Border Crisis: More Than 212K Crossing Attempts Stopped Last Month

More than 212,000 illegal immigrants attempting to cross the US-Mexico border were stopped by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) last month, a staggering number that is likely to put more pressure on the Biden administration amid the ongoing crisis.

The 212,672 stops in July represented a 12.6 percent increase over June, when 188,934 stops were reported. The only month in the last 21 years with more encounters was March of 2000, when 220,063 stops were reported at the southwest frontier.

The number of attempts to cross the US-Mexico border has risen every month since President Joe Biden took office, defying the trend of previous years in which attempted crossings peaked in May but slowed down with the onset of the summer heat. The July figures mark a 171 percent increase over the 78,417 stops reported in January and a 160 percent increase over the 81,777 stops in July 2019.

Most alarmingly, CBP has already stopped more than 1.1 million illegal border crossing attempts this calendar year. (Read more from “Border Crisis: More Than 212K Crossing Attempts Stopped Last Month” HERE)
