A large number of Chinese, Jordanian, Turkish, and Mauritanian illegal aliens were encountered at the southern border in May, underscoring the global nature of the U.S. border crisis created by the policies of President Joe Biden and his administration, including impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Around 3,500 Chinese illegal aliens, as well as hundreds more from other far-flung countries, were caught by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in May, according to Fox News. Ninety-eight percent were encountered in the San Diego sector,

Migration Is Skyrocketing Rents, Housing
Costs for Americans replies
Former President Donald Trump says record illegal immigration to the United States on President Joe Biden’s watch has sent rents and housing costs skyrocketing for Americans.
During a speech in Phoenix, Arizona, on Thursday evening, Trump focused on the Biden administration’s transformation of the United States-Mexico border into a European-style checkpoint where tens of thousands of migrants cross every couple of weeks, are briefly detained, and then released into the nation’s interior.“In total, crooked Joe has imported more illegal aliens than the populations of 40 out of 50 states,” Trump said. “This is unsustainable.”
A Minnesota jury found 5 of the 7 Somali defendants guilty of stealing millions of dollars in Covid funds intended to feed children.
70 members of the Somali community in Minnesota stole about $250 million in Covid funds. The seven defendants on trial related to the scheme were accused of stealing more than $40 million in taxpayer money.
Millions of dollars went overseas to Somalia. 80% of the stolen Covid money was never recovered.
“The verdict confirms what we’ve known all along, which is that defendants falsified documents, they lied and they fraudulently claimed to be feeding millions of meals to children in Minnesota during COVID,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said.
I remember fondly the time when we didn’t have credible everyday talk about nuclear strikes clogging the relentless news cycle.
A simpler time, when talk of nuclear confrontation seemed a long-lost relic from the faraway cold war years.
All that is gone, and every single day, it seems, we have to carefully study statements by power players rushing the Armageddon clock to the midnight strike.
Today (7), once again Russian President Vladimir Putin delved into the theme, saying that there is no need to use nuclear weapons to deliver victory for Moscow in Ukraine.
Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has spent over $30,000 worth of campaign funds on grooming over the past year, the Chicago Sun-Times first reported. (snip) Lori Lightfoot, Chicago’s former mayor, spent $2,000 on makeup, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle paid $217 for similar services and Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, a billionaire, made 11 payments totaling $6,000 to a Chicago beauty salon to pay for hair styling and makeup, according to the Sun-Times.
Paul Vallas, who ran against Johnson during last year’s mayoral election, says he doesn’t recall spending campaign funds on grooming but notes that his being bald contributed to the lack of expenditures, the Sun-Times reported.
RedState has written about former President Donald Trump's sudden fundraising success, which has taken off following his conviction in the Manhattan trial. On Thursday, an MSNBC panel speculated about it, talking in part about it happening in Silicon Valley. The panel pointed out the early post-verdict fundraising numbers, including a major donation almost immediately on the heels of the conviction. But what's really great about the MSNBC speculation is the claim that President Biden was "too quiet for too long." That's rich, when one considers the recent history of President Biden saying, well, anything.
As the panel revealed, the former president had a roster
The wife of a Marine has been crowned the first-ever transgender Miss Maryland USA — and said she was inspired by the “sisterhood” of other competitors she saw on the pageant circuit. Bailey Anne Kennedy, 31, won the coveted title on Saturday, according to the official Miss Maryland USA Instagram account.
She is now prepared to compete at Miss USA, which will be held in Los Angeles on Aug. 4.
Craft Ventures co-founder David Sacks joined "Kudlow" on Friday, telling host Larry Kudlow the fundraiser he and another Silicon Valley venture capitalist recently held for former President Trump had "tremendous turnout" and exceeded expectations. "When we agreed to do this event, we started off– the question was whether we could just raise $5 million, and that was the goal because as you well know, the Bay Area, is sort of a liberal bastion, and so we thought that $5 million might be a big lift," Sacks said.
Instead, the fundraiser co-hosted by Chamath Paliphapitiya ultimately wound up bringing the Republican presidential candidate quite a bit more than that
Does Time magazine matter anymore? It still has a circulation of over one million, but that is one-third of what it was in 2012. Does anything it reports still resonate, or is it like a tree that collapses unheard in the solitude of the woods? Time just secured an interview with President Joe Biden, when Biden has granted very few interviews to print news outlets. Time gained access to Donald Trump in April, and the first thing you notice when you compare the two interviews is the length. At the top of the transcripts, Time claims the Biden transcript is a "28-minute read," while Trump's is listed as 83 minutes.
Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York City, notified the 45th president's defense attorney and a Manhattan prosecutor that there's been another twist — a potentially significant one — following the May 30 verdict finding Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.
The judge presiding over former President Trump’s New York criminal trial notified his defense team on Friday of a comment on the court's public Facebook page that implies one of the jurors discussed the guilty verdict ahead of time.
Fox News obtained the letter Judge Juan Merchan shared with Trump defense attorneys and Manhattan prosecutors. "'Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System's public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, ‘Michael Anderson,’ states:
"’My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted! Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!’"
If you had told me when I first woke up this morning that I would be writing about a beauty pageant, I would've laughed in your face, morning breath and all. But here we are.
You may have seen the crazy hype over a beauty pageant winner in Alabama. Both Libs of TikTok and End Wokeness shared a photo of a pageant in which an obese woman revels in winning. She’s wearing a tiara and a sash that reads “Miss Alabama.” (X) On the surface, it can be easy to see how one might confuse this “Miss Alabama” with the other pageants like Miss America and Miss USA that
As Israel's political world waits to see the outcome of one ultimatum, their enemy faces another -- reportedly. With Israel offering grudging support for an operational pause to swap hostages for prisoners based on the latest US formula, Hamas has taken a week or so to offer a firm response. Yesterday, as John noted, Yahya Sinwar appeared to signal rejection over a refusal by Israel to end the war first and leave Hamas in control of Gaza.
Today, Qatar decided to up the stakes by issuing an ultimatum of its own. Well, not entirely of its own:
Qatar has given Hamas an ultimatum to accept the ceasefire deal proposed by
Dr. Ben Carson joined CNN recently and discussed Trump’s rally in the Bronx, the economic disaster under Biden, and whether he will accept the 2024 election results.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Carson was one of seven people vetted by the Trump campaign as a potential Vice President pick for Trump.
Midway through his interview, CNN anchor Laura Coates asked Dr. Carson, ” Will you accept the results of the 2024 election regardless of who wins?”
Carson responded “I will accept the results if it’s done in a fair and transparent way.”

President Biden "shows signs of slipping," the Wall Street Journal reported this week. Journalists Annie Linskey and Siobhan Hughes—no conservatives—spoke to 45 people who have met with the president and noticed his mental and physical decline. They recount, in detail, several meetings over the past year where Biden has been forgetful, confused, and out of it. The president, Linskey and Hughes report, "appears slower now, someone who has both good moments and bad ones."
No kidding.
You don't need the Journal to tell you that Biden is diminished. You need only to open your eyes. Go over Special Counsel Robert Hur's report into Biden's unauthorized removal of classified documents.
House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of making “false” testimony to Congress earlier this week and requested the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director return for another interview about alleged attempts to interfere with investigations into the origins of COVID-19.
In a Friday letter exclusively obtained by The Post, Jordan (R-Ohio) called out Fauci’s participation in President Biden’s COVID-19 Response Team, which pressured Big Tech companies in 2021 to censor critics of COVID lockdowns and other restrictions as well as proponents of the so-called “lab leak theory.”
Jordan also noted that former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Robert Redfield

Wilmington, Del.— Hunter Biden’s daughter Naomi testified Friday in his federal gun trial about visiting her father at a California rehab center, telling jurors that he seemed to be improving in the weeks before he bought the revolver in 2018.
“I hadn’t seen my dad in a long time, and I knew he was in a rehab facility there. He reached out,” she told jurors softly. As she was dismissed from the stand, she paused to hug her dad before leaving the courtroom.
The defense began calling witnesses shortly after federal prosecutors wrapped up their case. Hunter Biden’s attorney Abbe Lowell started by calling another gun store clerk who was there
A group of alleged illegal aliens reportedly marched through New York City’s Times Square while calling for the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Video footage shared online Thursday shows a sea of people walking through the area in the middle of the street. As the group marches, the chant of “Abolish ICE! Abolish ICE!” rings out before the crowd erupts in cheers:
Several individuals in front of the group are seen carrying large banners. One reads, “Arriba [Up with] Las Vegas Worker Center.” According to the center’s website, it is “a grassroots organization that unites day laborers, domestic workers, and other low-wage and migrant workers
Fox News swing state polls show former President Donald Trump tied with His Fraudulency Joe Biden in Virginia, a state not supposed to swing.
Back in 2020, the certified result in Virginia had Trump down 9.4 points. This same Fox News poll shows Trump leading in two other states where Hunter’s Dad was certified the winner, Arizona and Nevada. Important: These polls were taken entirely after Trump was convicted of 34 counts in a fascist Manhattan Courtroom in a trial orchestrated by fascist Democrats and championed by our fascist corporate media.

I received a call on Monday from one of the women whose stories I tell in my new book, Ashli: The Untold Story of the Women of January 6. Of the ten women profiled, two were killed on January 6, six were imprisoned, and two await sentencing. Of the ten, no one did anything more overtly criminal than break a window.
The woman with whom I spoke wanted reassurance that her sacrifice was not in vain. I told her that Donald Trump’s conviction sheds new light
Chicago police, the Secret Service, and other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies sound confident that they're able to handle any protests that occur at the Democratic National Convention in August.“With two months left until the convention, we’re finalizing plans and making sure all of our operations are safe,” CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling told reporters at a press conference on Thursday. “Make no mistake, we are ready. The partnership, collaboration, and open communication between everyone involved is why we are ready.”

The five criminal and civil prosecutions of former President Donald Trump all prompt heated denials from Democrats that President Joe Biden and Democrat operatives had a role in any of them.But Biden has long let it be known that he was frustrated with his own Department of Justice's federal prosecutors for their tardiness in indicting Trump.
Biden was upset because any delay might mean that his rival Trump would not be in federal court during the 2024 election cycle. And that would mean he could not be tagged as a "convicted felon" by the November election while being kept off the campaign trail.
Hunter Biden’s gun trial judge, Maryellen Noreika, recently delivered a one-year sentence to a defendant in a similar gun case.
The case could be a window into how Noreika might sentence Hunter if a jury finds him guilty of gun violations.Hunter is charged with one count of false statement in the purchase of a firearm, one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and one count of false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer.

Wilmington, Del. – Federal prosecutors on Friday rested their case against Hunter Biden after testimony from Biden’s exes, government experts, and others involved with the purchase and recovery of the gun which the first son allegedly lied to obtain.
Special counsel David Weiss’s prosecutors, Derek Hines and Leo Wise, are pursuing three criminal gun charges against Hunter for allegedly lying about his addiction to crack cocaine on a gun-purchase background-check form and allegedly possessing the gun while addicted to drugs. Hunter faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Summer tourists in New York City face unprecedented lodging costs as hotels throughout the city are being repurposed as migrant housing.
The average price for a hotel room in the city, based on 2023 data, is a record-breaking $301 per night, an 8.5 percent increase from 2022 costs. This rise in prices is largely due to the city’s gross overcommitment to providing shelter for the influx of illegal migrants flooding the city.
A recent change to Gotham’s “right to shelter” rule allows adult illegal migrants under the age of 23 to stay up to 60 days in city-run shelters.

Not too long ago, a Trump flag — even an American flag – in your yard meant you were one of those dangerous "patriots," hellbent on saving the nation from the Marxists looking to topple the greatest nation in the history of mankind, you NAZI!

Almost exactly 50 years ago, the Supreme Court ordered President Richard Nixon to turn over White House tapes that he had refused to release for nearly a year, citing executive privilege. On July 24, 1974, the court unanimously rejected Nixon’s executive privilege claim. Sixteen days later, Nixon resigned.
Fast forward to this year, and President Joe Biden is refusing to release tapes of his interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur about his handling of classified documents, citing, as Nixon did, executive privilege, with an added twist about the risk of “deep fakes.”
Biden is, in fact, so determined to keep the tapes secret
President Joe Biden will reportedly skip a peace summit hosted by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to attend a fundraiser hosted by Hollywood actor George Clooney.
The White House said it will be sending Vice President Kamala Harris and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to attend the peace summit in Biden’s place, a move that will likely anger Ukraine. Per The Telegraph:
Biden will instead attend a Democratic fundraiser in California with Mr Clooney, Julia Roberts, the comedian Jimmy Kimmel and Barack Obama, as he trails Donald Trump in recent donations for his re-election campaign.

“Have you ever heard from either President Biden or the First Lady directly?” Morgan asked.
“No. No, I have not,” Roberts answered.(

MSNBC’s Morning Joe went apoplectic over The Wall Street Journal’s article about Joe Biden’s mental decline behind closed doors. The panel got their orders from the Democratic National Committee, though likely the Biden White House, and torched the publication for supposedly running a hit piece on Biden based on accounts from Trump acolytes.Co-host Joe Scarborough screamed how Kevin McCarthy is the source for the entire piece. That’s not true. At least 45 people, Democrats and Republicans, were interviewed; even liberals noted that the president had lost a step. Still, they couldn’t negate that Biden is 81 and probably not what he used to be 15 years ago,
The truth is out there. Aliens are registering and voting in American elections.

A majority of middle-class Americans are experiencing financial hardship that they expect will continue for the rest of their lives, according to a new poll. Findings published by the National True Cost of Living Coalition show that 65% of Americans whose incomes are 200% above the national poverty line – which is about $62,300 for a family of four, often considered middle class – said they are struggling financially.

CNN is reporting an Israeli strike on a Hamas headquarters inside a United National Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) school compound in Gaza as an “Israel strike on UN school that left dozens dead.”
The main focus of the CNN story is the claim that American munitions were used in the strike, from which CNN evidently wishes readers to conclude that the United States shares moral culpability in an Israeli atrocity. However, the airstrike, as described by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), was actually a targeted attack on a building that had been used as a base by Hamas terrorists, who likely accounted for most of the “dozens”
For 18 months I have predicted that the next presidential election will be in large measure a referendum between those who are so pathologically hostile to President Trump that they will tolerate any means to keep him from returning to the White House, and those who are so appalled at the corruption of the legal and political systems by the Democrats that they are prepared to vote for Trump whatever their misgivings about him, to preserve constitutional democracy.

They insisted on a Bill of Rights which enumerated the liberties of the citizens and limited the reach of the government.
