World War II-Style Barriers Placed Along Border in New Mexico

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal officials are placing metal barriers along one of the busiest migrant smuggling corridors on the U.S.-Mexico border.

About a quarter-mile row of Normandy-style steel “Xs” were visible Wednesday on the western slope of Mount Cristo Rey in Sunland Park.

The area for the past several years has been a choice crossing location for migrants and smugglers because of its steep terrain, lack of roads and the absence of border wall. It also has been the site of many medical transports involving migrants who lose their footing on 1- to 2-foot dirt trails and end up at the bottom of ravines. Assaults on Border Patrol agents also have been reported there.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Landon Hutchens said the “temporary” barriers are being placed to discourage or slow foot and any other types of traffic.

Similar barriers were replaced west of nearby Santa Teresa several years ago when a 30-foot-tall steel bollard wall was installed. The steel Xs typically are placed on the border to prevent vehicles from coming over from Mexico. (Read more from “World War II-Style Barriers Placed Along Border in New Mexico” HERE)

AG Pam Bondi Takes Immediate Action, Sues Illinois and Chicago Over Sanctuary City Policies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Newly confirmed Attorney General Pam Bondi took swift action on Thursday, suing Illinois and Chicago to enforce immigration law.

Bondi’s suit, one of her first actions in her post, contends the state’s and city’s sanctuary city policies are unlawful and seeks to have them deemed “invalid.”

“I will restore integrity to the Justice Department, and I will fight violent crime throughout this country and throughout this world and make America safe again,” Bondi said Wednesday after being sworn in as attorney general.

Justice Department filed the complaint in Chicago federal court.

“By refusing to honor civil detainers and warrants expressly authorized by Congress, Defendants have unlawfully eliminated these means for federal immigrations officials to carry out their statutory functions,” the complaint stated.

CIA’s USAID “Gave Chelsea Clinton Tens of Millions of Dollars and Partnered With Their Sex Trafficking Organization the Clinton Foundation”

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Author and journalist Liz Crokin post this on X: “USAID gave Chelsea Clinton tens of millions of dollars and partnered with their sex trafficking organization The Clinton Foundation.”

“In 2010, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helped oversee $4.4 billion that Congress had earmarked for ‘recovery’ efforts in Haiti by the USAID in 2010.”

“So USAID was funding organizations sex trafficking kids and lining the pockets of their family members all while the USAID also funded media organizations to cover up that they were sex trafficking kids AKA Pizzagate and all with YOUR hard earned taxpayer money!”

Crokin continued: “The level of corruption and criminality – including crimes that are deemed capital offenses with death penalty as a potential punishment – are astounding and unprecedented.

“We must demand accountability and justice for these crimes.” (Read more from “CIA’s USAID “Gave Chelsea Clinton Tens of Millions of Dollars and Partnered With Their Sex Trafficking Organization the Clinton Foundation” HERE)

‘Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias’: At National Prayer Breakfast, Trump Vows to Foster Faith

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump addressed members of Congress and faith leaders Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast, promising to make America faithful again.

Trump pledged to make America “more faithful to our God than ever before,” even as the United States is currently suffering a crisis of faith.

The Silent Generation, those born from 1928 to 1945, identified as Christian by 84% in a Pew Research Center poll conducted from 2018 to 2019. More than 3 in 4 (76%) baby boomers (born 1946 to 1964) did as well.

That number has declined in subsequent generations of Americans. Only 49% of millennials (1980 to 1994) identify as Christian. By comparison, Generation Z (1995 to 2012) appears to have stabilized in its irreligiosity. Generation Z is much less religious than their grandparents, while at the same time they are not significantly less religious than millennials.

Trump promised to sign an executive order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to create a task force to “eradicate anti-Christian bias.” He has already fulfilled part of that promise by pardoning Christian pro-lifers convicted in the prior administration under the Freedom to Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, one of whom was in attendance at the breakfast.

LEAKED: Next ATF Director May Be an Anti-Gunner

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Unfortunately, it appears that gun owners were right to be concerned about the appointment of Attorney General Pam Bondi.

According to leaked information that is being reported by the New York Times and now also by pro-gun YouTubers like Jared (of Guns & Gadgets) and Braden Langley, Bondi is considering recommending a “non-ideological” person who is an “older, more seasoned LEO” to be the new head of the ATF.

Her shortlist allegedly includes several former and current top ATF officials.

To put it bluntly, that would be a DISASTER for the Second Amendment.

Biden’s head of the ATF Steven Dettelbach was an “older, non-ideological, more seasoned LEO” – and as millions of gun owners are painfully aware, he spent years leading an all-out assault on our 2A rights!

You know who else was a “seasoned LEO?” The anti-gun radical David Chipman – whose nomination to lead the Biden ATF was torpedoed thanks to GOA members like you. Also, during his first administration, President Trump chose anti-gun president of the Fraternal Order of Police Chuck Canterbury and GOA members had to spend months fighting to tank his nomination.

It would be a mistake for a “pro-gun” administration to appoint another “seasoned” bureaucrat who knows nothing about the Second Amendment.

A lot of harm has been done in the name of “law and order” over the years.

Things such as registering gun owners in the name of fighting crime; attacking a group of loners in Waco, Texas; shutting down long-established gun stores for simple mistakes; abusing mentally handicapped people in gun “stings” in Milwaukee; victimizing pro-gun sheriffs with nonsensical new legal theories; murdering airport executives in Arkansas; and much, much more.

In fact, the ATF is defying judicial rulings against its unconstitutional gun control measures. Despite courts striking down their policies, the ATF has continued attempts to unlawfully enforce its pistol brace ban on multiple occasions—acting as if they are above the law!

Pam Bondi must understand that truly restoring “law and order” in the eyes of gun owners means fundamentally transforming the rogue ATF.

That means appointing an ATF director who will do ALL of the following:

• Stand up to ATF’s rogue officials;

• Help President Trump downsize the federal government (including ATF);

• Unravel Biden’s weaponization of law enforcement (especially ATF);

• Scale back the ATF’s infringements of constitutional rights; and

• Return freedom to the hands of the people to whom it belongs.

Maintaining the corrupt, tyrannical status quo by appointing current or former top ATF officials is not the kind of “law and order” that the American people want or expect.

In fact, President Trump began his second administration by taking an ax to the Deep State that has enabled “seasoned” bureaucrats to run wild in Washington.

He needs to do the same to the ATF by appointing a fighter who will defend the Second Amendment from the lawless bureaucrats who’ve waged war on our God-given rights for far too long.

Ultra-Woke Google Drops Racial Hiring Targets, Will ‘Review’ DEI Practices

/0 Comments/in , /by

Google, the wokest company in all of Silicon Valley, is eliminating its racial hiring quotas and reviewing its DEI programs, joining other tech giants rethinking their approach to “diversity.”

The Wall Street Journal reports that Google announced on Wednesday that it will no longer set specific hiring targets based on race. This decision comes as part of a broader pullback from DEI efforts across Silicon Valley, with companies like Meta and Amazon also scaling back their diversity initiatives.

Google’s move marks a notable reversal from its 2020 commitment to increase the proportion of leadership roles held by “underrepresented groups” by 30 percent by 2025. The announcement was made in an email to employees, which also revealed that the company is currently evaluating the continuation of its annual diversity report, a practice it has maintained since 2014.

The tech giant said it is reviewing its DEI-related grants, training, and initiatives to assess their impact and potential risks. This review is partially in response to recent court decisions and executive orders by President Trump aimed at curbing DEI efforts in the government and among federal contractors.

This is a titanic shift for ultra-woke Google, which infamously launched its Gemini AI image creator in 2024 which rewrote history to include “underrepresented” groups.” (Read more from “Ultra-Woke Google Drops Racial Hiring Targets, Will ‘Review’ DEI Practices” HERE)

Politico Misses Payment to Workers, Raises Suspicion That CIA’s USAID Paid It Without Disclosure

/16 Comments/in , /by

Many are wondering if Politico has received money from the United States Agency for International Development after the publication reportedly was unable to pay its employees as the Trump administration began to close the agency.

Politico was unable to pay workers but sent out an email blaming a glitch in its vendor systems. Critics pounced on the news to accuse the outlet of losing funding after President Donald Trump took over USAID and shut down its funding.

Politico has reportedly not disclosed payments from USAID or any other government entity, and it would be a major scandal if it had received funding and not disclosed it. . .

“Due to what we believe to be a technical error, employees did not receive their paychecks as scheduled. We understand the urgency of this matter and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience,” the email read.

“Our team is working diligently with our systems vendors and the bank to identify the root cause and implement a solution as quickly as possible,” the company added. “We will keep you updated as we learn more and work to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.” (Read more from “Politico Misses Payment to Workers, Raises Suspicion That CIA’s USAID Paid It Without Disclosure” HERE)

Trump Pentagon Reportedly Preparing To Close Curtain On One Of America’s Projects Abroad

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Trump administration is reportedly developing a plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, marking an end to the decade-long excursion in the region, two defense sources told NBC News on Wednesday.

The Department of Defense (DOD) is reportedly drafting a plan to withdraw all 2,000 troops from Syria in either 30, 60 or 90 days, sources told NBC News. Since 2014, the U.S. has maintained a troop presence in the region, mainly to fight the Islamic State out of its headquarters at al-Tanf in southern Syria.

Trump previously expressed his desire to avoid involvement in the region’s civil war, which reignited after a long quiet period after Islamic fundamentalist rebels Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) swiftly toppled President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December.

“I don’t know who said that. I mean, I don’t know who said that, but we’ll make a determination on that. We’re not getting, we’re not involved in Syria,” Trump said on Jan. 28 in response to rumors that he had informed Israel of his intentions. “Syria is its own mess. They got enough messes over there. They don’t need us involved in everyone.” (Read more from “Trump Pentagon Reportedly Preparing To Close Curtain On One Of America’s Projects Abroad” HERE)

Female Athletes Sue Ivy Leagues After Being Forced To Change In Front Of, Compete Against Man

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several women who were former college athletes filed a lawsuit Tuesday after being forced to compete against a man and share changing rooms and bathrooms with him in 2022.

Grace Estabrook, Ellen Holmquist and Margot Kaczorowski all competed on the University of Pennsylvania’s (UPenn) swim team when transgender-identifying male athlete Lia Thomas was allowed to join the team and use the women’s facilities. The women are suing UPenn as well as Harvard University, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Ivy League Council of Presidents for allegedly violating Title IX by discriminating against women and causing them “emotional harm,” the lawsuit states.

Many of the details included in the suit stem from the 2022 Ivy League Championships at Harvard during which Thomas shared changing spaces with the female athletes. The university did not provide any separate changing space for Thomas or any female athlete that did not feel comfortable changing in front of the male since all locker rooms were converted into women’s spaces for the competition, the court documents state.

Riley Gaines, a former athlete who also competed against Thomas, said the lawsuit was filed with “serendipitous timing,” as she plans to attend the signing of an executive order Wednesday barring men from competing in women’s sports.

Surrounded by Young Female Athletes, Donald Trump Bans Men From Women’s Sports

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday banning men from women’s sports, a historic moment in the fight to protect the integrity of women’s spaces from gender activists and ideologues.

“From now on,” he said to massive applause from those assembled, “women’s sports will be for only women.”

“With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over,” he added.

The president signed the order in the East Room of the White House, surrounded by young schoolgirls, female athletes, and advocates, including Independent Women’s Forum ambassadors Riley Gaines, Paula Scanlon, and Peyton Edwards; journalist Sage Steele; Concerned Women for America’s Penny Nance, and others.

“If we have to worry about them, we have a bigger problem,” he joked to his Secret Service agents as the crowd of middle-school-aged girls rushed to his side for the signing. “What a nice picture this is!” (Read more from “Surrounded by Young Female Athletes, Donald Trump Bans Men From Women’s Sports” HERE)
