• Op-Ed: It Will Only Take a Few Senate Democrats to Expose the Biden Administration as a Feeble Sham

  20-05-2022 23:53
  
  There are border surges, and then there are border surges. President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security is currently weathering the latter, to the tune of 7,000 illegal crossings every day.
  If that wasn’t disastrous enough, DHS is forecasting a crisis of staggering proportions — between 12,000 and 18,000 daily encounters with illegal migrants — if the courts allow the administration to lift pandemic-era border restrictions.

• New NBC Report Offers Powerful Evidence Biden Lied About Hunter and China During Trump Debate - Here's the Video

  20-05-2022 23:21
  
  During the 2020 election cycle, Democratic nominee Joe Biden repeatedly said that he had no knowledge about his son Hunter’s business deals. He also denied that Hunter made money from China.
  Now, after two years of refusing to report the facts about the Bidens, some in the establishment media are beginning to roll out evidence that the president might have lied.
  For example, during the presidential debate on Oct. 22, 2020, moderator Kristen Welker asked Joe Biden about his son’s busi

• Breaking: Judge Blocks Biden Admin from Ending Title 42

  20-05-2022 23:11
  
  A pandemic health policy used to quickly expel illegal migrants must remain in place, a judge ruled Friday in an order blocking the Biden administration’s plan to lift the restriction early next week.
  While the administration can appeal, the ruling sharply increases the odds that Title 42 will not end as planned on Monday.
  Illegal migrants have been expelled more than 1.9 million times since March 2020 under the public health provision.
