  19-09-2022 23:07
  Democrats and the mainstream media are still trying to claim that 50 illegals dropped off on Martha’s Vineyard is a “humanitarian crisis” even as they ignore the more than 1,300 illegals who pour across the border daily into El Paso, Texas.

  President Joe Biden was among the dozens of leaders and dignitaries in London on Monday to attend the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II, but his presence has resurrected a rather stark bit of awkwardness he once infused into his own relationship with the late monarch.
