‘A Good Way To Destroy Your Country’: Joe Rogan Comes Down Hard Against Democrats’ Policy On Illegals

Podcast host Joe Rogan said Tuesday that Democratic immigration policies fuel crime and political manipulation.

In an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan said the United States can recognize its immigrant roots and still enforce borders. He rejected the idea that compassion requires an open-door approach and insisted that any country must vet who enters.

“The whole thing is tough now because we’re a country that’s established by immigrants, but you can’t have an open border. You can’t just have anybody come through because there’s going to be a bunch of criminals that come through, and you don’t want that. You don’t want your country to be more crime infested,” Rogan said. “You don’t want your country to have murderers and cartel members just coming into the country and now getting citizenship and being able to vote and organizing, and that’s crazy. That’s a good way to destroy your country.”

Rogan said Democrats have turned illegal immigration into a political weapon, adding that mass illegal entry overwhelms cities, weakens enforcement, and serves partisan goals rather than public safety.

“When you just let everybody in, and you let in 10 million people, and how do you — unless they get arrested while they’re here — what do you do? And even then, like a lot of them during the Biden administration, they were getting let go. In sanctuary cities [they would let] people go. It’s just crazy,” Rogan said. “Because they just want a bunch of people in these swing states for the census. So they get more congressional seats, and if they get these people and give them the ability to vote, now you have a built-in voter base. You can just rig the election.” (Read more from “‘A Good Way To Destroy Your Country’: Joe Rogan Comes Down Hard Against Democrats’ Policy On Illegals” HERE)

US To Pay United Nations Billions

The Trump administration will send an initial payment toward billions in overdue United Nations dues within weeks.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz told Fox News Digital the payment comes with strings attached. He rejected claims that America bears responsibility for the organization’s cash crisis.

“The United States pays to the U.N. system more than 180 countries combined,” Waltz said. “We have historically been the largest supporter of the U.N., but under President Trump, we’re demanding reform.”

Waltz said the administration’s pressure has already produced results. The U.N. agreed to cut nearly 3,000 headquarters positions and approved its first budget reduction in 80 years. The organization also plans to reduce global peacekeeping forces by 25%.

The U.S. owes roughly $2.19 billion to the U.N.’s regular budget as of early February, according to Reuters. America also carries an additional $2.4 billion in unpaid peacekeeping assessments and $43.6 million for U.N. tribunals. (Read more from “US To Pay United Nations Billions” HERE)

Here’s Where Prosecutors Should Look For More Evidence Of Somali Daycare Fraud

A lot has been made of the Nick Shirley videos claiming to “prove” that dozens of companies owned and allegedly operated by Somalis as daycare centers were involved in defrauding the federal government out of hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars. And although these videos show numerous daycare facilities with boarded-up windows, broken doors, untreated snow-covered sidewalks and parking lots, no operating phone numbers, no playground equipment, and most importantly zero children at them during regular working hours, this circumstantial evidence only lays the groundwork for identifying hundreds of potential fraudsters.

The corporate media, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and other leaders on the American left have dismissed Shirley’s videos as unsubstantiated propaganda and/or “racist,” but in fact prosecuting those involved with these sham daycare centers should be relatively easy, using an assortment of readily available financial records.

It is undisputed that Somali daycare centers received millions of federal dollars either directly or through various state-sponsored programs funded by federal grants. And since either Minnesota or the federal government made ACH or other electronic payments directly to these businesses, they already know which business bank accounts to pursue.

By now, the Department of Justice should have issued federal criminal subpoenas for records related to all these accounts. And since banks are typically required to respond to criminal subpoenas within 1 to 2 weeks, the feds already should have lists of which business entities were paid, their business type (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC, general partnership, etc.), their employer identification number, and lists of authorized account signers. With this data and the accompanying monthly bank statements, tracing disbursements from these business accounts will be the next phase of any investigation.

Of course, if large transfers were made to other bank accounts, the DOJ should repeat the subpoena process until all disbursements are found. If these efforts uncover large cash withdrawals from these accounts, this would indicate large-scale fraud, since legitimate businesses operating in present-day America pay almost all operating expenses electronically or by bank ACH — never by cash. If these centers used paper checks, information regarding who was paid and how much would be readily discernable from copies of cancelled checks.

Senate Republicans Have The Power To Force Democrats To Filibuster Voter ID — So Why Don’t They?

Senate Republicans could force Democrats into a talking filibuster on voter identification, but it’s unclear if they will use the strategy to pass the bill.

The SAVE America Act, a Republican-backed election integrity measure, would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote — including by mail — mandate photo ID for federal elections, direct states to verify citizenship and remove non-citizens from federal voter rolls.

Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy in a post on X, confirmed that the bill is expected to reach the House floor in February, and if passed, move to the Senate — where questions remain about whether Republicans, despite controlling both chambers, can muster the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

Without the 60-vote threshold or Democratic support, GOP Senate leadership would be faced with potentially using one of the Senate’s oldest tools — the talking, or standing, filibuster — to advance the legislation.

Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee has referred to the Senate procedure as the “zombie filibuster.”

Bad Bunny Slammed for Controversial Super Bowl Halftime Show Decision That ‘Encourages’ Division

Bad Bunny closed his Super Bowl LX halftime show with a message of purported unity, “together we are America” — but keen-eyed critics quickly slammed the song-and-dance act as a divisive and “degenerate” performance.

And the Puerto Rican star made no effort in his Spanish-only performance to include the 78% of American households that speak only English.

Bad Bunny previously taunted that anyone annoyed with his selection as halftime performer had “four months to learn Spanish.”

“Expanding to the Latino audience is one thing. Doing a show EXCLUSIVELY for the Latino audience? They’re gonna hear about this one,” “Sopranos” and E Street Band legend Steven Van Zandt groused via X.

“I’m sorry, no subtitles was a bad decision and an insult to the audience. Subtitles would have been ‘countering division,’ having none encourages it.” (Read more from “Bad Bunny Slammed for Controversial Super Bowl Halftime Show Decision That ‘Encourages’ Division” HERE)

China Bombshell: Patel Says Biden-Era FBI ‘Buried’ Truth About CCP’s Ties to Biolab on US Soil

FBI Director Kash Patel says his agency has resumed an aggressive counterintelligence offensive against China and its Communist Party (CCP) that had been sidelined during the Biden presidency but is concerned the prior administration may have “buried” the truth about dangerous biolabs on U.S. soil tied to Beijing.

“This FBI, under this leadership, has prioritized the threat against it by the CCP against us, and we’ve taken swift action,” Patel said Friday in an interview with the Just the News, No Noise television show that focused on China’s threat to U.S. national security and the bureau’s efforts to handle the Chinese Communist Party.

The FBI boss said the renewed efforts have already resulted in a 40% increase in Chinese espionage arrests in the first year of the second Trump administration.

“What we did in the last year with President Trump and the attorney general and the Department of Justice is reprioritize our dynamic threat landscape, going after and disrupting and looking after the criminal activity from the CCP,” he explained.

Just the News reported this week that an illegal biolab in California searched by local, state, and federal authorities in 2023 and a separate hazardous lab inside a Las Vegas garage raided by the FBI over the weekend are both tied to a Chinese national currently awaiting trial for fraud, false statements, and adulteration of medical devices, according to court filings, police officials and members of Congress.

US Military Strikes Alleged Drug Boat in the Eastern Pacific, Leaving 2 Dead and 1 Survivor

The United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced Monday that the US military carried out an operation targeting a suspected drug-trafficking vessel in the Eastern Pacific, leaving two people dead and one survivor.

“On Feb. 9, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations,” the joint command said in a post on X.

Following the strike, the unit said it immediately notified the US Coast Guard to activate a search-and-rescue system for the lone survivor who escaped the lethal attack.

Aerial footage released by the agency shows a vessel halting shortly after getting struck by the weapon.

“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” the unit said. (Read more from “US Military Strikes Alleged Drug Boat in the Eastern Pacific, Leaving 2 Dead and 1 Survivor” HERE)

Former Palm Beach Police Chief Reveals Trump Called During Epstein Investigation

A former Palm Beach police chief who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in the mid-2000s reportedly received a call from Donald Trump expressing relief over the investigation, according to an FBI account of a 2019 interview with the ex-police chief.

Trump said, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him,” according to the FBI account.

The police chief’s name is redacted from the document on the Department of Justice’s website, but the information in the FBI statement aligns with Michael Reiter’s role in the investigation that began in 2005.

Orbán Calls Ukraine an ‘Enemy’ in Speech

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has labelled Ukraine, which is under attack by Russia, an “enemy” of his own country.

“The Ukrainians must stop constantly demanding in Brussels that Hungary be cut off from cheap Russian energy,” the right-wing populist said in an election campaign speech in the western Hungarian city of Szombathely on Sunday.

“As long as Ukraine does this, it is our enemy,” he added, according to the state news agency MTI.

Orbán is considered Vladimir Putin’s closest ally in the European Union, and his country is highly dependent on Russian gas and oil supplies. Unlike the other EU countries, Hungary has not made any serious efforts under Orbán to free itself from its dependence on Russian energy.

Parliamentary elections are due to be held in Hungary on April 12. For the first time in his 16 years in office, Orbán faces a strong challenger. (Read more from “Orbán Calls Ukraine an ‘Enemy’ in Speech” HERE)

Epstein Death Files Ignite New Firestorm as Prosecutors’ Statement Appears Dated Before He Died

Newly released files tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s federal case are fueling renewed controversy after revealing a draft statement attributed to prosecutors that appears to be dated one day before Epstein was officially found dead in his Manhattan jail cell.

The document surfaced as part of the Justice Department’s latest Epstein disclosure and is among at least 23 records labeled as statements from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. A review of the tranche shows multiple versions of similar statements, many with inconsistent redactions—some leaving phone numbers or names exposed, while others are almost entirely blacked out.

One draft, however, stands out.

It bears a date of August 9, 2019—the day before Epstein was discovered unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on the morning of August 10, where he was later pronounced dead while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The pre-dated statement is attributed to then–U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman and reads in part:

“Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein […] had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter.”

The draft also describes the moment as “disturbing” and emphasizes prosecutors’ continued commitment to Epstein’s victims.

What it does not include is a cause of death—something that appeared in the finalized version released publicly the following day.

Screenshots of the document quickly circulated online after the files were released.

X user @rschmied posted dryly:

“Just a version of the Epstein death announcement dated Friday, August 9th, day before he died in the official announcement which is dated the 10th. Carry on.”

Others pointed to additional details from the release that further muddy the waters.

One post from @DMichaelTripi claimed:

“NEW: Noose allegedly used by Jeffrey Epstein collected at the scene of his death has been determined to have not been used in Epstein’s ‘suicide’ according to DOJ Inspector General.”

Beyond paperwork discrepancies, the files also provide fresh insight into Epstein’s mental state in the days leading up to his death—details that complicate the official narrative.

According to a suicide risk assessment dated August 1, 2019, just nine days before he was found dead, Epstein told prison psychologists he would never kill himself, citing religious beliefs.

The report states:

“He said he is Jewish and he said in his religion suicide is against the religion.”

Now, with a prosecutor’s statement seemingly dated before Epstein’s death, inconsistently redacted records, disputed forensic details, and fresh insight into his mindset, the latest document dump has reignited debate over whether the full truth has ever been told.
