Republicans Probe ISIS Nationals Crossing Southern Border

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chairman Tom McClintock sent a letter Friday to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas calling for information related to illegal immigrants who have crossed the southern border with ties to ISIS.

The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the letter, which mentions reports of several illegal aliens with ties to ISIS that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia all in June. They reportedly illegally entered the U.S. through the Southern border.

“In June 2024, ‘[e]ight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were [arrested] by U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Joint Terrorism Task Force in’ New York City, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. According to recent reporting, ‘[a]ll eight Tajikistan nationals crossed the U.S. southern border illegally.’ Reports indicate that ‘[a]t least two of the men crossed the border in spring 2023, and one of those men used the [U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)] One app.’ Authorities state that the ‘suspected terrorists were ‘fully vetted’ and ‘no derogatory information was initially flagged with CBP or with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during processing.’ Instead, it was only ‘after the suspected terrorists were released into the U.S. [that] derogatory information was flagged with national security concerns, including the individual[s’] ties to ISIS,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter” (Read more from “Republicans Probe ISIS Nationals Crossing Southern Border” HERE)

Report: DHS Group Called Being ‘Religious’ An ‘Indicator’ Of Domestic Terrorism

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) brainstormed about infiltrating local communities to spy on Americans, and suggested being “religious” or “in the military” was an “indicator of extremists and terrorism,” excerpts of documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) purportedly show.

These excerpts, released Thursday by AFL, purport to show how in 2023, the DHS’s newly created “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” looked for ways to expand their spying on American citizens, including by trying to “get into local communities in a non-threatening way” to get fellow Americans to tattle tale on their neighbors.

The committee, on which John Brennan and James Clapper — both notorious for their participation in the Russia-collusion hoax as well as for falsely claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation — sat, also suggested religious Americans, members of the military, and Trump supporters were possible security threats, according to segments of the documents released by AFL.

“If you ask researchers to dive into indicators of extremists and terrorism, they might indicate being in the military or religious,” one segment states. “This being identified as an indicator suggests we should be more worried about these. We need the space to talk about it honestly.”

According to the released excerpts, the group appeared to acknowledge a “political advantage” to having the “political backdrop” be tied to Trump. (Read more from “Report: DHS Group Called Being ‘Religious’ An ‘Indicator’ Of Domestic Terrorism” HERE)

Judge Judy Criticizes Alvin Bragg for ‘Nonsense’ Trump Trial Instead of Focusing on ‘Criminals’

Reality television court Judge Judy Sheindlin criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for using “taxpayers’ money” to prosecute former President Donald Trump instead of focusing on “criminals” in New York City.

During an interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace, Sheindlin, who starred on her Judge Judy show for 25 seasons, stated that she “would be happier” if Bragg focused his attention on taking “care of criminals who were making it impossible for citizens to walk in the streets and use the subway,” instead of going after Trump for “nonsense.”

On May 30, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records in the first-degree concerning payments made to adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election.

“I would be happier, as someone who owns property in Manhattan, if the district attorney of New York County would take care of criminals who were making it impossible for citizens to walk in the streets and use the subway, to use his efforts to keep those people off the streets, than to spend $5 million or $10 million of taxpayers’ money trying Donald Trump on this nonsense,” Sheindlin explained.

CNN: Trump Could Pick Kermit the Frog as VP, Republicans Will Still Vote for Him

CNN commentator Van Jones said Thursday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that former President Donald Trump could pick Kermit the Frog as his running mate and that Republicans would still vote for him.

Host Wolf Blitzer said, “What do you make of the fact that almost all of these Trump potential vice presidential finalists have previously been very, very critical of Trump?”

Jones said, “Well, I mean, pretty much every human being on earth has been critical of Trump because Trump does stuff that demands criticism. He gets indicted, he gets impeached, he insults people, he’s awful. If you had a child like that, you would you be very, very concerned. You certainly wouldn’t hire someone like that. So there is very few people whose last name or not Trump that have not criticized him. So he’s got to swim in those waters.” (Read more from “CNN: Trump Could Pick Kermit the Frog as VP, Republicans Will Still Vote for Him” HERE)

Former FBI Official Says Dems Are Targeting Federal Judge Because ‘Deck Isn’t Stacked’ Against Trump In Her Courtroom

A former FBI official said that United States District Judge Aileen Cannon of the Southern District of Florida was being targeted by liberals for removal because the “deck isn’t stacked” against former President Donald Trump in her courtroom.

The United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit announced it would not accept complaints about Cannon’s handling of the classified material case involving Trump in a May 22 order, saying the over 1,000 complaints it had received were part of an “orchestrated campaign.” Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker said on “Mornings with Maria” that Cannon was targeted because she was trying to be fair to Trump on the day Cannon held a hearing to hear a challenge to the constitutionality of the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith.

“I say these people don’t know what to do when the deck isn’t stacked in their favor,” Swecker told “Mornings with Maria” host Maria Bartiromo. “There have been 1,000 complaints against the judge, but as the chief circuit court judge for the 11th circuit pointed out, there was an orchestrated campaign against her.” (Read more from “Former FBI Official Says Dems Are Targeting Federal Judge Because ‘Deck Isn’t Stacked’ Against Trump In Her Courtroom” HERE)

Border Numbers Show Crisis ‘Is Never Going to End’ With Biden in Office

More than 170,000 illegal aliens were encountered after unlawfully crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in May according to the latest numbers released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Nationwide, border agents encountered more than 241,000 illegal aliens last month.

The Biden administration will seek to take an undeserved victory lap on May’s number by noting it is lower than the all-time records set earlier in the president’s term — but they’re still evidence of the unmitigated disaster created and allowed to continue by Biden.

In a statement, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) said “May’s numbers show that President Biden and impeached Secretary Mayorkas’ border crisis is never going to end as long as they are in charge. Border Patrol apprehensions at the Southwest border were roughly four times what Obama-era DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said ‘overwhelms the system,'” Green noted.

While many eyes are, rightfully, on the crisis at the southern border, Green emphasized that illegal alien encounters in May set a new record for the month with 18,664 — only around 1,000 fewer than the all-time northern border encounter record set last August.

“Encounters at official ports of entry also remain at historic levels, because Biden and Mayorkas have implemented unlawful policies like the CBP One and CHNV mass-parole schemes,” added Green, explaining how the Biden administration uses such schemes in its attempts to obfuscate the dire consequences of open-border policies.

WATCH: Ex-FBI Undercover Asset Risks All to Prove Jan. 6 Was a ‘Fedsurrection’

For the last three and a half years, the FBI and federal prosecutors, in tandem with federal judges, have refused to disclose information regarding the extent to which the U.S. government deployed undercover informants in the crowd at the “Save America” rally in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021. . .

Ex-FBI confidential human source Derek Myers risks years of jail time for saying too much about his former employer. Yet despite the potential legal ramifications, Myers insists the FBI ran an operation involving hundreds of undercover informants on Jan. 6 to entrap and incriminate Trump supporters.

He would know. He was recruited for the assignment. . .

The public should know, Myers told WND in an exclusive interview, that confidential human sources were laced all throughout the Jan. 6 crowd and that they are considered above the law while on the job.

“I’m going to try and word this in a way without compromising the FBI’s contractual obligations. When we, as human assets, are signed into the program for the FBI, we typically must sign paperwork that says what we can and cannot do. Specifically, when it comes to being part of these rallies, or any sort of lawbreaking, we get a temporary designation by the District Attorney’s Office in the Department of Justice,” he said. “These designations are called ‘tier one,’ ‘tier two’ or ‘tier three,’ and it is essentially a ‘get out of jail free’ pass for a certain amount of time.

CBS Teases ‘Surprises’ From Joe Biden for the Debate

We’re about a week from the first presidential debate on June 27. My colleague Bob Hoge wrote about the variations in how the candidates were preparing, with Joe Biden going into hiding at Camp David to do deep preparation with his advisors, while former President Donald Trump is continuing to campaign while doing some consultation with advisors.

The problem is there’s only so much they’re going to be able to do with Biden. But however badly he does, we need to understand that he’s going to be at the best they can get him, and even if that’s bad, the media is still going to act like he’s the Second Coming. At this point, the expectations are so low for Joe and the mainstream media is ready to hype him, if he just shows up, they will praise him to the skies.

But CBS had a report that got a lot of attention because of what they said at the end of it.

First, you know what to think of the report when Weijia Jiang says that Biden answers questions from reporters all the time, although the media would like him to answer more. If she means he ducks them most of the time, then yeah, she’s right.

She mentioned how he was prepping with his closest advisors. But these are the same guys who have advised him forever. Translation: These are the same guys who have been producing the mess that is Joe Biden that we’ve already seen every day. Will they be able to get him in any kind of shape for the debate?

Biden’s ‘Amnesty’ Plan Could Turn 500,000 Illegal Aliens Into Future Voters

President Joe Biden announced an executive order (EO) Tuesday that awards amnesty to illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens. And while he dubbed his overreach as keeping “families together,” it is nothing more than another step in Democrats’ plan to expand their future electorate.

The EO makes it easier for illegal immigrants who married U.S. citizens — and their children — to apply for lawful permanent residence status without leaving the country, and after that, U.S. citizenship. An approximate 500,000 illegal immigrants who married a U.S. citizen will benefit from this order along with 50,000 children, according to the White House.

Without providing any explanation as to how, Biden claims this will “strengthen” the U.S. economy. Notably, recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows foreign-born workers gained 637,000 jobs year-over-year while native-born workers lost roughly 299,000. The BLS acknowledges foreign-born workers likely include illegal immigrants. As economist E.J. Antoni recently explained to The Federalist, the drain illegal migrants place on the economy offsets their production value. . .

By federal law, “Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents,” are not allowed to “vote in federal, state, and most local elections,” according to USA.gov. But lawful permanent residents are “eligible to become a U.S. citizen after five years of becoming a lawful permanent resident, or three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen,” according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Unless there are specific carveouts in Biden’s executive order prohibiting individuals who came into this country illegally before receiving amnesty from registering to vote, then Biden just gifted Democrats with hundreds of thousands of potential future voters.

Hollywood Now Claims Racism … Causes Cancer!

If you get your health information from television writers who work on “woke” programming there’s a new cause identified for cancer: Racism!

It comes from the medical experts who authored the dialogue for “New Amsterdam,” in which a doctor provides his explanation.

Coming out of a treatment room where a patient is, he talks to the mother. . .

He goes on, “He feels threatened. On a daily basis. Like everything he’s earned can just be taken away. He’s disenfranchised.”

The “doctor” continues, “But because his life is seemingly free from all this, because he can’t name it, he’s internalizing it…” . . .

“Racism. I think you son’s tumor is caused by racism.” (Read more from “Hollywood Now Claims Racism … Causes Cancer!” HERE)
