Illegals Will Now Be Eligible for Health Care Coverage Under New Biden Rule

/1 Comment/in , , /by

More than 100,000 young immigrants protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program will soon become eligible to receive federal health care coverage for the first time since DACA was implemented over a decade ago.

The Biden administration will announce a new federal rule Friday allowing DACA recipients to enroll in a qualified health plan through the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace or become eligible for coverage through a basic health program.

An estimated 580,000 young adults who lack legal immigration status and have lived in the U.S. since they were children are currently working or studying without fear of deportation under DACA. An overwhelming majority of DACA recipients were born in Mexico and other Latin American countries. . .

By implementing a federal rule expanding the definition of “lawful presence” to include DACA recipients, they are “no longer excluded from receiving coverage from a quality health plan and financial assistance as well,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra told reporters in a press call Thursday.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that over 100,000 young immigrants who lack health insurance will now have a shot at accessing affordable health care. (Read more from “Illegals Will Now Be Eligible for Health Care Coverage Under New Biden Rule” HERE)

Alvin Bragg’s Team Finally Produced Docs at Center of Case Against Trump — There Was Just One Catch

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Prosecutors finally displayed the documents at the heart of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump on Monday, but have yet to establish a direct link to demonstrate Trump’s culpability.

Until Monday, prosecutors had been focused on setting up other pieces of their case: the context for the $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about claims of a sexual encounter and the broader “conspiracy” to influence the 2016 election they allege Trump was involved in. Monday’s witnesses — former Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney and Trump Organization accounts payable supervisor Deborah Tarasoff — offered starkly different testimony than earlier witnesses like David Pecker and Keith Davidson, providing no salacious celebrity stories and an almost exclusive focus on accounting.

Through their testimony, prosecutors introduced the invoices, ledger entries and checks the 34-felony count indictment against Trump claims he falsified, allegedly to reimburse his former attorney Michael Cohen for the Daniels payment.

Bragg was only able to bring the core charges for falsifying business records, which had passed the statute of limitations, by charging them as felonies and alleging they were done to conceal or commit another crime, which is why much of the prosecution’s case has focused on highlighting Trump’s involvement in the alleged “conspiracy.”

During cross examination with McConney and Tarasoff, Trump’s defense sought to cast doubt on the president’s personal responsibility by raising questions about his direct involvement in repaying Cohen.

Biden’s Plan to Admit Gaza Refugees Sparks National Security Concerns

/0 Comments/in , /by

A reported plan by the Biden administration to potentially admit Palestinians from Gaza as refugees into the United States has sparked concerns among immigration experts and lawmakers, who argue that such a move could pose significant national security risks.

Internal documents from the federal government, leaked to the media on Tuesday, suggest that the Biden White House is exploring options to offer permanent safe haven to Palestinians living in war-torn Gaza. While no official plan has been announced, critics have raised alarms over the potential consequences of admitting individuals from this region.

Immigration experts, speaking to the Daily Caller News Foundation, have criticized the proposed plan as contrary to the country’s interests. They warn about the risks associated with admitting foreign nationals from a conflict-ridden area with potential ties to terrorism. Instead, they advocate for relocating refugees to neighboring Middle Eastern countries.

Matt O’Brien, director of investigations for the Immigration Reform Law Institute, described the plan as “absurd” and prioritizing ideology over national security. He highlighted concerns about Hamas, the governing authority in Gaza, and the challenges of vetting individuals from the region due to distrust in official records.

Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, along with 34 Republican senators, penned a letter to President Biden urging him to halt the reported plan. They raised concerns about the high level of support for Hamas among the Gazan population and the difficulty of properly vetting individuals from such a complex and volatile region.

The senators questioned the rationale behind admitting Gazan refugees, especially when nearby Arab countries, sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, have refused to accept them due to security concerns.

Eric Ruark, director of research and public relations for NumbersUSA, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the need for caution in admitting individuals from Gaza. He emphasized that every American should be alarmed by the potential implementation of such a program.

Polling data from the Palestinian Center for Policy and Research has revealed widespread support for Hamas among Palestinians, raising further concerns about the potential for individuals with extremist ties to enter the United States under the proposed plan.

Biden Explodes Claim Abortions Are Needed for Women’s ‘Mental Health’

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the arguments the abortion industry in America has used for years to support its demand for unlimited abortion is that it’s needed for a woman’s “mental health.”

The Biden administration just exploded that claim.

“And when a woman comes in with some grave mental health emergency, if she happens to be pregnant, it would be incredibly unethical to terminate her pregnancy. She might not be in a position to give any informed consent. Instead, the way you treat mental health emergency is to address what’s happening in the brain. If you’re having a psychotic episode, you administer antipsychotics,” explained Joe Biden’s solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar.

The American Center for Law and Justice noted the comment came before the Supreme Court in arguments over a lawsuit over the Biden administration’s claim that emergency room physicians must do abortion on demand – irrespective of their own beliefs and state law.

The ACLJ explained, “Joe Biden has been called the most pro-abortion president in history, and understandably so. Yet every now and then something slips out from his administration that crosses up the pro-abortion narrative, such as when Biden referred to choosing ‘to abort a child’ instead of using some more obscure term like ‘fetus’ or ‘pregnancy.'” (Read more from “Biden Explodes Claim Abortions Are Needed for Women’s ‘Mental Health’” HERE)

Democrat Rhetoric Gets Violent: Maxine Claims Trump Supporters ‘Training up in the Hills’ for Civil War

/0 Comments/in , /by

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said on this week’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show” that the Department of Justice should investigate “right-wing organizations” who supported former President Donald Trump “training up in the hill” for a civil war.

Waters said, “You cannot trust anything that Donald Trump has to say no matter if he loses he is going to say it was fraud. He still has not accepted what happened in the last presidential election. We have to be very concerned about a former president of the United States talking about attacking his own country, talking about perhaps a bloodbath, talking about perhaps there is going to be trouble. He said it in so many different ways we should take him seriously. This man does not believe in the Constitution. He wants to be a dictator. This is a dangerous human being. We have to know what our country is going to do to protect us from him.” (Read more from “Democrat Rhetoric Gets Violent: Maxine Claims Trump Supporters ‘Training up in the Hills’ for Civil War” HERE)

Nathan Wade Makes Absurd Claim About the Moment He and Fani Willis Ended Their Love Affair

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former Donald Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade made an absurd claim that he and Fani Willis ended their affair the “moment” they realized they were in love with each other — a statement completely at odds with his ex-lover’s version of events.

Speaking to ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Wade claimed he developed feelings for the Fulton County district attorney, who appointed him as special prosecutor to the election fraud case in 2021 “over time.”

“You don’t plan to fall in love,” he told the show, in his first interview since he was made to resign from the case in March.

“You don’t plan to have some relationship in the workplace. You don’t set out to do that. Those things develop organically. They develop over time.

“The minute we had that sobering moment, we discontinued it,” he claimed. (Read more from “Nathan Wade Makes Absurd Claim About the Moment He and Fani Willis Ended Their Love Affair” HERE)

Trump: Arrest Jack Smith After Special Counsel Admits Lying to Court

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump this weekend called for Jack Smith to be arrested after the Special Counsel admitted in a court filing that he lied to the court about the classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago. . .

Jack Smith admitted he lied to the Court about the classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago in a motion filed late Friday night.

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday evening responded to Trump’s co-defendant Walt Nauta’s motion to extend a deadline for disclosures in the classified documents case.

Recall that Walt Nauta, a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago was indicted along with Trump last year.

In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or the placement of the documents. (Read more from “Trump: Arrest Jack Smith After Special Counsel Admits Lying to Court” HERE)

Biden DHS Shuts Down ‘Experts’ Panel Featuring Signatories of Infamous Hunter Biden Laptop Letter

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration agreed Friday to shut down a panel of “experts” that included multiple signatories of a letter that dismissed a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden as Russian disinformation.

The Department of Homeland Security agreed to “wind down” the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group in 30 days following litigation from America First Legal, according to court documents. The experts in the group included former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who signed an October 2020 letter that claimed a bombshell New York Post report about emails from the laptop supposedly abandoned by Hunter Biden “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

“The Experts Group shall be wound down within thirty (30) days of the entry of the Order, it will not hold any future meetings, and the Department will not reconstitute the Experts Group inconsistent with the FACA or the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The Department will also provide the Experts Group meeting agendas and meeting minutes with participant identifying information redacted within fifteen (15) days of the entry of the Order,” the order submitted to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia reads. “Based on these representations, Plaintiffs have agreed to dismiss their lawsuit with prejudice.”

Twitter locked multiple accounts, including the New York Post’s and the personal account of then-White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany for sharing the story, citing its “hacked materials” policy.

DNC Prepares for Violent Pro-Hamas Protests

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Democratic Party is bracing for massive protests during the Democratic National Convention, comparing it to another chaotic event from the 1968 convention.

As pro-Hamas protests continue to rage through college campuses due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, concerns that similar protests will occur during the DNC convention this August in Chicago.

Former President Barack Obama’s chief of staff William Daley told the Washington Post that the chaotic college protests that have occurred in the past week have “taken the demonstrations to a different level.”

“It portends that you have the potential for big demonstrations. Whether they get violent — that’s more imaginable today than it was a year ago,” he said.

The DNC is reportedly taking no chances with the potential risk that pro-Hamas protesters will show up as they continue to harass President Joe Biden for supporting Israel. (Read more from “DNC Prepares for Violent Pro-Hamas Protests” HERE)

Trans Runner Dominates Women’s Events With Times That Would Place Last Among Men

/5 Comments/in , /by

Transgender college runner Sadie Schreiner won three women’s events at the Liberty League championship meet (Division III) on Saturday.

Schreiner of the Rochester Institute of Technology won the 400 meters with a time of 55.07 and the 200 meters at 24.14.

Both times would have been last in the men’s races at the meet, but they were school records in the women’s category, according to the site that lists the results of the meet.

The 200-meter time is now a Liberty League conference women’s record (beating Schreiner’s own previous record of 24.50 set earlier this season).

Schreiner was also the anchor leg of the 4×400 that won by nearly three seconds – they were in fourth place when Schreiner received the baton, but she ran the fastest anchor leg of the race. (Read more from “Trans Runner Dominates Women’s Events With Times That Would Place Last Among Men” HERE)
