Tone-Deaf Mayorkas Claims ‘Only the Criminal’ to Blame for Slaughter of 12-Year-Old Texas Girl, Not Biden Border Policy

Tone-deaf Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday shrugged off attempts to blame Biden’s border policy for the horrific slaughter of Americans at the hands of illegal migrants, saying, “The individual who is responsible for a heinous criminal act is the criminal.”

His comment during a press conference from a Border Patrol aircraft hangar in Tucson, Arizona — some 70 miles from the nearest border crossing — came in response to a question about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was brutalized and murdered in Houston, allegedly by two Venezuelan migrants who were released into the US earlier this year.

“We screen and vet individuals when we encounter them,” he said.

Border agents quickly responded with skepticism to Mayorkas’ claims that the DHS was sufficiently vetting anybody crossing the US border, saying his comments Wednesday show he’s living in “fairytale land.”

“I don’t know what Mayorkas is smoking because it needs to be legalized,” one Border Patrol source told The Post. (Read more from “Tone-Deaf Mayorkas Claims ‘Only the Criminal’ to Blame for Slaughter of 12-Year-Old Texas Girl, Not Biden Border Policy” HERE)

Exposed: CNN’s Debate Moderators Were in Bed With Deep State’s Fake Anti-Trump Campaign

CNN’s moderators for Thursday’s presidential debate have deep ties to former intelligence officials who signed the now-debunked letter claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” Real Clear Investigations (RCI) reported Wednesday.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied about leaking false information to one of CNN’s moderators, Jake Tapper, about the Trump campaign exchanging information with Russia throughout the election cycle, according to the RCI report.

Tapper, failing to inform the public that the information came from a Clinton campaign-funded dossier, the now discredited Steele dossier, disseminated the information in a January 10, 2017, CNN report co-authored with Carl Bernstein.

Clapper denied leaking the information to Tapper during a July 2017 congressional deposition.

Clapper “flatly denied ‘discuss[ing] the dossier [compiled by Steele] or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists,” the House Intelligence Committee said, according to RCI.

Yikes! Look Who Tells Joe Biden How to Debate President Trump

Hillary Clinton was the loser in the 2016 presidential election to President Donald Trump. In fact, she became a two-time loser in that race, having lost out on the Democratic nomination years earlier to Barack Obama, and repeatedly has claimed the 2016 election was stolen from her.

But her experiences are giving her the confidence to tell Joe Biden how to debate 2024 opponent President Donald Trump in a CNN event that is scheduled Thursday. . .

Explained The Patriotic News, in a headline: “Woman who will always be remembered for losing to Donald Trump has advice for Joe Biden.”

The report noted that as it’s an election year, “it is naturally time for Hillary Clinton to brush off the cobwebs and say a bunch of words about taking on Donald Trump and saving the country from a man she lost to in 2016.”

The report explained, “The former First Lady and Secretary of State is largely responsible for us becoming a country whose history books can say ‘President Donald Trump’ in future editions. But, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have advice for Joe Biden, who is taking on Trump for the second time this year. She is releasing a book soon, and she is also writing op-eds in the New York Times, giving advice to Joe Biden.” (Read more from “Yikes! Look Who Tells Joe Biden How to Debate President Trump” HERE)

Is Axios Serious With This Story About Trump?

There is no pandemic from which to take cover this election season. Only Joe Biden and his remarkable short list of accomplishments have brought economic torpor at home and total chaos abroad. Biden decided to leave Afghanistan, only to become ensnared by another ‘endless war’ after the gaze of a Ukrainian dictator took him in. Now, Biden is speaking out of both sides of his mouth on Israel, claiming ironclad US support for their war in Gaza but also cutting off arms shipments to appease the antisemitic segments of the Democratic Party base. So, what can the liberal media do to prop up this senile old man? Warn voters that—get this—inflation will spike if Trump is elected president again (via Axios):

Sixteen Nobel prize-winning economists are jumping into the presidential campaign with a stark warning: Former President Trump’s plans would reignite inflation and cause lasting harm to the global economy if he wins in November.

Why it matters: The Nobel laureates are lending their academic prestige to a political argument the Biden administration has been making for weeks: Inflation would be worse under Trump.

“While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we all agree that Joe Biden’s economic agenda is vastly superior to Donald Trump,” the 16 economists write in a letter, first obtained by Axios.

I’m rolling at this piece since most of it confirms that inflation right now is too high, which in turn kills American working families. The inflation spike has already arrived, thanks to Biden’s domestic agenda. Even if we accept the Chinese math on the job figures, which are always revised down, it doesn’t matter if everyone’s wallet is getting torched. We’re a part-time economy since that’s where most of Joe Biden’s job creation comes from—foreign workers are very much replacing American citizens in the workforce.

Abortion Giant Planned Parenthood Will Dump $40 Million to Boost Biden, Democrats

Abortion giant Planned Parenthood announced it is spending $40 million to prop up 81-year-old President Joe Biden and Democrats in key congressional races ahead of November, The Hill reported.

The organization, which was founded by an infamous racist with ties to the eugenics movement, made the announcement on Monday to coincide with the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. The Dobbs decision overturned the court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision — which had invented a constitutional right to abortion for 50 years — and returned the issue of abortion to individual states.

The funding blitz comes as Biden and Democrats around the country continue to make abortion the centerpiece of their campaigns, rather than addressing other pressing issue like the flailing economy and the porous southern border. For his part, Biden has promised to restore Roe v. Wade if he is reelected, and has repeatedly framed former President Donald Trump and Republicans as dangerous to women. Democrats are hoping to use the issue of abortion, along with abortion ballot measures in several states, to stir outrage and boost voter turnout.

Biden’s Problem-Laden Parole System Has Drawn Over A Million Migrants To U.S., Data Reveals

President Joe Biden’s expanded parole system has drawn over a million migrants alone to the U.S. since January 2023, federal data shows. Yet a major flaw has already been found within the administration’s parole pathway — an inability to track parolees’ status once they enter the U.S.

Roughly 460,000 migrants arrived in the U.S. on commercial flights after the Biden administration granted them parole, while another 630,000 sought parolee status at ports of entry through the CBP One mobile app, according to new Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data. Since 2021, Biden’s administration has granted parole for tens of thousands of Afghans despite there not being any system in place to actually track the migrants once they make it to America, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found in May.

The OIG report raises significant questions, including whether the administration keeps track of all those who have recently been granted parole into the U.S.

On Jan. 5 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a new parole process for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who have a “supporter” in the United States, also known as the CHNV Parole Process. Under this parole process, migrants are vetted and authorized to purchase airline tickets where they can enter the country and be granted parole.

Trump and Biden Face Off in First U.S. Presidential Debate of 2024

This week, the political arena heats up as President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump engage in their first presidential debate for the 2024 election. This highly anticipated event could prove to be a pivotal moment in the race, with millions of potential voters tuning in.

The debate marks the beginning of what promises to be a contentious and intense campaign season. The United States remains deeply polarized, still reeling from the chaos and violence surrounding the 2020 election. With only two debates scheduled this cycle, Thursday’s clash takes on added significance. National polls indicate a tight race, and both candidates have escalated their personal attacks in preparation.

“The debate is important because it’s an opportunity for two well-known candidates to ‘reintroduce’ themselves to a public that knows them well but hasn’t been paying attention,” said Donald Nieman, a political analyst and history professor at Binghamton University in New York state. The key question remains how many voters, beyond the politically engaged, will tune in this early in the campaign.

For Trump, the 90-minute debate is a chance to emphasize concerns about Biden’s mental alertness, given the president’s age of 81. However, Trump himself, at 78, has faced similar age-related scrutiny. For Biden, the debate offers an opportunity to highlight Trump’s legal troubles and portray him as unfit for office. Biden must also avoid any major gaffes, which could be detrimental as November approaches.

This debate follows a criminal trial that has dominated Trump’s focus for months, with sentencing for 34 convictions of falsifying business records set for July 11. Both candidates bypassed the bipartisan commission that has managed debates since 1988, opting instead for CNN to host the early-year debate, with a second debate on ABC scheduled for September 10.

Key issues expected to dominate the debate include abortion, the state of U.S. democracy, foreign conflicts, inflation, and border security. The previous debates between Biden and Trump in 2020 were notably contentious, with memorable moments such as Biden’s exasperated “will you shut up, man?” directed at Trump. This time, moderators will have more control, with microphones muted except for the candidate speaking.

As the candidates prepare for this high-stakes encounter, the nation watches, aware that this debate could significantly influence the trajectory of the 2024 presidential election.

Trump Leads Biden by Double Digits in Latest National Poll

Former President Donald Trump has surged ahead of President Joe Biden by double digits in a national matchup, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey released on Friday. This development marks a significant lead for Trump as the 2024 presidential race heats up.

The Rasmussen Reports survey shows Trump commanding 46 percent support in a matchup that includes third-party candidates, while Biden trails with 36 percent. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. garners nine percent, followed by independent candidate Cornel West with two percent, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein with one percent.

In a direct head-to-head comparison, Trump extends his lead over Biden to nine points, with 49 percent of likely voters favoring Trump against 40 percent for Biden.

Conducted on June 20 among 1,000 likely voters, the survey has a margin of error of ± three percent. The results indicate a growing discontent with the current administration, as reflected in several concurrent surveys.

Notably, a May Rasmussen Reports survey revealed that a majority of Democrats, 54 percent, would prefer to see Biden replaced by another candidate for their party. Additionally, another Rasmussen survey found that 57 percent of voters believe Biden is experiencing real mental decline. This perception has been exacerbated by viral videos purportedly showcasing Biden’s cognitive challenges, which the White House has dismissed as misleading.

In response to these allegations, Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung told Breitbart News, “The truth hurts. When the Biden campaign is confronted with that cold, hard reality, they offer ridiculous claims that anyone who clearly sees Biden acting like a brain-dead dope is part of some media-wide conspiracy.” He further criticized the Biden campaign’s strategy, attributing it to “junior staffers and interns” managing the campaign for a candidate who “can barely walk and talk at the same time.”

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)

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?
