Border Patrol went scorched earth on Joe Biden in this viral statement

The crisis at the border is at a breaking point. It’s all thanks to Joe Biden.

And Border Patrol went scorched earth on Joe Biden in this viral statement.

Biden’s border boondoggle will go down in history as one of his greatest failures.

Thanks to his incompetency or malice, over six million illegal immigrants have come into this country since he took office.

That’s more people flooding into this country than the entire population of Maryland.

But don’t call it a crisis. That would play too much into the hands of Republicans according to the Left.

While Biden and the Democrats may pontificate from their ivory tower about how this crisis isn’t as bad as it seems, the men and women at ground zero see the reality every single day. And they’ve had enough.

The Border Patrol Union blasted the Department of Homeland Security on Monday night for announcing a “targeted enforcement operation” in Texas to remove or jail illegal immigrants, accusing the feds of informing migrants about the operation hours before it was intended to take place.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are set to carry out the initiative on Tuesday in El Paso, where approximately 2,200 migrants are currently camped out or living on the streets just a few blocks from major ports of entry connecting the city to Juárez, Mexico.

“Nothing like publicly announcing that dangerous people will be arrested, while warning them ahead of time exactly where to run and hide to avoid arrest,” the Border Patrol Union tweeted late Monday evening.

According to the National Border Patrol Council, which represents nearly 18,000 Border Patrol agents and support personnel, the entire operation was a “sad joke” and “another pandering PR stunt.”

“Serious law enforcement leaders don’t behave this way,” the union added.

According to the CBP, agents will “process individuals for vetting and placement into Title 42 expulsion or Title 8 removal proceedings, as applicable,” and any individuals posing a national security concern will be brought to ICE for detention.

The Title 42 public health order, which was used to hastily deport hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants because to the COVID-19 pandemic, is slated to expire on Thursday. It was first issued in 2020, during the presidency of then-President Donald Trump.

Nearly half of all migrant interactions in March resulted in a Title 42 expulsion.

According to government statistics, a border surge in El Paso resulted in over 26,000 apprehensions and over 7,000 “gotaways” in just 72 hours, according to Fox News Digital.

Despite the Biden administration’s frequent denials of the continued migrant crisis, the White House stated last week that 1,500 troops will be deployed to the border to assist local border officers.

The White House has likewise mostly avoided visits to the southern border.

After nearly two years in office, President Biden made only one visit in January 2023. Despite being named immigration czar, Vice President Kamala Harris visited a CBP facility in El Paso in June 2021.

Merrick Garland was sent a threat from the U.S. Senate that has him terrified

Joe Biden’s DOJ head, Merrick Garland, has gone off the deep end. He’s completely ignoring the law.

But now Merrick Garland has been sent a threat from the U.S. Senate that has him terrified.

The Dobbs v. Jackson ruling, which the U.S. Supreme Court used to reverse Roe v. Wade, was released a little more than a year ago. Despite the fact that the verdict wasn’t really delivered until late June, the leak’s outrage sparked illegal rallies and even threats against conservative justices. Sharp criticisms of the Biden administration’s response, particularly when it comes to the Department of Justice, have been made as a result.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), who spoke to Townhall about the leak and its effects, highlighted the significance of giving the justices with the security “that they clearly need.” The senator also emphasized how crucial it is for Attorney General Merrick Garland to carry out his duties considering that the situation is at a “fever pitch” and that unlawful protests are “still going on.”

In order to “make clear to him he needs to do his job and enforce the law,” Hawley said that Garland “needs to enforce the law” and even added that “and if anybody needs to have their funding denied, it’s Merrick Garland, maybe we need to zero out his salary.”

Reports swirled that had caught up on Hawley’s worries that Democrats were aiming to slash $10 million in financing for the Supreme Court and that that could come from the money required for security, which he had stated last week.

Along with acting in a particularly feeble manner to defend the justices from unlawful protesters, Attorney General Merrick Garland also acknowledged in training slides recently brought up by Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) that Marshals were instructed to refrain from conducting arrests.

Hawley claimed that the leak, along with the unlawful demonstrations, murder attempts, and Democratic attacks on the Supreme Court and its conservative justices, are all part of a campaign to undermine the “independent judiciary.”

Hawley stressed the significance of discovering the identity of the leaker while also issuing a warning about what many Democrats are attempting to do as they “try to pressure the Court to compel and force the Court the way they want.”

That is what is happening, the senator stated.

Hawley also stated, “I think we are at a dangerous moment,” adding, “We’ve got to say whether you love the Court’s decisions, hate ’em, or somewhere in between, our Constitution gives us an independent judiciary and I think we gotta stand on that principle and trying to coerce the Court is dangerous and it’s wrong.”

Democrats have stepped up their criticism of the Supreme Court and of the conservative justices, particularly Justice Clarence Thomas, at an alarming rate. The Senate Judiciary Committee convened a hearing last week on “Supreme Court Ethics Reform,” and throughout it, Republican members emphasized how overt these political crusades have grown to be.

“That’s why all the attacks on the justices that are clearly coordinated, especially Justice Thomas, that’s why the leaker did what he or she did. It is clearly to try and strong-arm the Court,” Hawley suggested to the media.

Hawley has made it abundantly clear that he disagrees with some of the decisions this Court has rendered, but he also stressed that “there is a big difference between saying ‘you know what, I don’t agree with that’ and then saying ‘I’m going to try to pack the Court, or intimidate the Court, or change the Court, so they’ll do what I want them to do. That’s not an independent judiciary. That’s not our Constitution.”

Even more, Hawley said, “I do think this assault on the Court, by the left, is dangerous, very dangerous, and I think that leak is part of that, as well as these recent attacks on Justice Thomas.”

The urgency of the issue has reached “a fever pitch from the left,” according to Hawley, who also cited threats made against Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch by then Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in March 2020 if they did not vote the way he wanted in an abortion case.

In addition to unlawful demonstrations, a person was detained in June of last year for expressing interest in killing Justice Kavanaugh as well as two other conservative justices.

Hawley stressed the need to “just follow the law” when it comes to the protests by holding them in a public setting rather than illegally holding them at the justices’ homes, including late at night and while endangering their children.

Finding out who the leaker is is still doable and imperative, as Hawley said, exactly as Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) stated in a phone conversation with the Daily Signal last week. Hawley stated that he “wasn’t surprised at all” that Justice Samuel Alito thinks he knows who leaked the Dobbs opinion in reference to remarks Alito made to the Wall Street Journal in an interview last month.

Hawley himself added, “I don’t think it’s that hard to find the leaker,” and mentioned how few employees there are at the Court based on personal experience. Hawley worked as a law clerk for Chief Justice John Roberts before, while Sen. Lee worked as a law clerk for Justice Alito.

The regular employees, whom Hawley highlighted were “wonderful, wonderful people,” are only 36 in a given year, and even then, he made it apparent that “numerically, there just aren’t that many of them,” and “it’s not really a very big staff at all.”

The reason Hawley said, “I just don’t buy this, this ‘oh, we can’t tell who it is,'” is because of the small quantity.

Similar urgency was voiced by Sen. Lee as well. If the leaker is not caught, the issue might worsen, as Lee had previously told the Daily Signal. “This sort of thing will continue if there’s no consequence to it,” he had said. A January investigation had produced very little information, and it was determined that the leaker could not be found.

Joe Biden tears up the First Amendment in latest attack on Catholics

Joe Biden tears up the First Amendment in latest attack on Catholics

President Biden flaunts his “devotion” to the Catholic faith when it’s politically convenient. The truth is, he hates everything about its traditional teaching.

And Joe Biden tore up the First Amendment in his latest attack on Catholics.

Many on the Left have pointed to Joe Biden’s “faith” as a reason for his policy positions.

A supposed Catholic, Joe Biden espouses the most radically contrary positions to what the Catholic Church has taught for millenia.

That’s why it’s no surprise that he just came after a group of Catholics serving the physically and mentally ill for practicing their faith.

The Biden administration’s Department of Health and Human assistance (HHS) issued an ultimatum to a top-rated Catholic hospital network in Oklahoma, threatening to cut off assistance to poor and vulnerable patients unless the sanctuary candle was removed from their chapel.

Saint Francis Hospital South in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has kept the candle in question lit for fifteen years in a row.

Since the hospital’s inception in 1960, the non-profit Saint Francis Health System has maintained the tradition of hospital chapels, replete with active sanctuary candles.

The network also runs the adjoining St. Francis Hospital, which is Oklahoma’s largest hospital.

Saint Francis Hospital South, which serves much of southeastern Tulsa, faced losing accreditation to serve Medicare, Medicaid, or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) beneficiaries if it didn’t not comply with the administration’s requirement.

But after being threatened with lawsuits for infringing on the Catholic hospitals’ First Amendment rights, the government backed down.

The Department of Health and Human Services has revoked its effective demand that a Catholic hospital extinguish a candle that remains lit in the chapel, a candle that HHS described as a threat to hospital safety.

“The game was simply not worth the candle for HHS,” Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket, the religious freedom law firm representing the hospital, told The Daily Signal in a written statement Friday.

“It realized it would be playing with fire in court if it stood by its absurd demand, so it chose wisely. We are glad Saint Francis’s can continue to serve those most in need while keeping the faith.”

“CMS is aware of a safety finding involving a fire risk, made by an independent accrediting organization, issued to a hospital in Oklahoma,” a CMS spokesperson told The Daily Signal in an emailed statement Friday.

“CMS met with the hospital and accreditation organization, and issued a waiver to allow the hospital to mitigate the potential fire risk and correct the safety finding. The hospital will work with the accrediting organization on next steps.”

“That’s bureaucrat-speak for ‘we’re backing down quickly,’” Windham, the Becket lawyer, said in a telephone interview Friday.

“Saint Francis is grateful that this is resolved and they are able to focus on serving God and serving their community,” she added.

This is just another example of Joe Biden and his administration’s persecution of those who hold beliefs contrary to their liberal agenda.

Though Biden lost the battle, the culture war rages on.

Kamala Harris called Donald Trump one word that’s coming back to haunt her

Vice President Kamala Harris is a problem for the Biden administration. She’s an abject failure.

But Kamala Harris has called Donald Trump one word that’s coming back to haunt her.

On May 11, the Biden administration will terminate Title 42, a Trump border regulation that permitted the agency to swiftly deport illegal immigrants who were discovered trying to enter the country.

For months, countless numbers of illegal aliens have been anticipating this day.

Thousands of people have gathered on the Mexican side of the border in anticipation of the termination of Title 42 because they know that after being detained, the Biden administration will let them enter the nation.

Joe Biden needs to act as though he cares about this situation that he created for himself since his polling numbers are declining and the election is coming up next year.

The Biden administration has deployed 1,500 soldiers to the border as a result.

However, the soldiers won’t actively participate in border security.

Instead, they essentially play the role of babysitters for unauthorized immigrants while the government waits to release them into the country’s interior.

According to a Biden representative who spoke to CNN, “at the request of DHS, [the] DOD will provide a temporary increase of an additional 1,500 military personnel, for 90 days, to supplement CBP efforts at the border. These 1,500 military personnel will fill critical capability gaps, such as ground-based detection and monitoring, data entry, and warehouse support, until CBP can address these needs through contracted support.”

Democrats who equated Donald Trump issuing such an order to Germany in the 1930s are politically embarrassed by the presence of troops at the border.

At the moment when Trump asked the military to assist in enforcing American sovereignty, California Senator Kamala Harris criticized the action as “inappropriate.”

“I also believe that the administration made a decision to deploy them based on a political agenda and I believe that it is inappropriate to require the limited resources of the United States military to be used in such a way when it was, you know, these folks who are being deployed there, they’re gonna leave, they’ve left their families, they will not be home, it looks like, for Thanksgiving,” Harris said at the time.

“And all because there needed to be some demonstration for the TV cameras based on a political agenda instead of what is a national security threat,” she ranted.

As the administration’s border czar, Kamala Harris is being kept on the ticket by Joe Biden.

Biden will have to defend why he gave a well-known imbecile such a crucial role in addition to Harris’ dismal record on the border during the campaign.

Expect Kamala Harris to be as quiet as possible during the 2024 election cycle because she has become a problem for the Biden administration and the Democrats that they would rather wish they didn’t have to deal with.

Megyn Kelly just obliterated Leftists with one incredible rant

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly has had her ups and downs. But she’s pulled off the gloves.

And Megyn Kelly just obliterated Leftists with one stunning rant you need to see.

When Fox News allowed its greatest talent to leave the network, the entire globe was startled.

Conservatives from coast to coast are anxiously awaiting the news of where Tucker Carlson, the most well-known and prominent primetime television news host in America, will go next after abruptly leaving Fox News.

Republicans were taken aback and eventually stopped watching Fox News in large numbers, while the Left has reacted entirely differently.

On social media, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) compared Carlson to a Marvel villain and said that “deplatforming works.”

And The View ladies celebrated with a stack of ballpark hot dogs in their laps, just like they were at a baseball game.

The studio audience cheered as Whoopie Goldberg read the news of Carlson’s departure from Fox News.

The alleged former “comedian” then announced a spontaneous wave, to which the entire self-described “bipartisan” panel responded as though they were attempting to pass the time by watching a baseball game that nobody had ever wanted to attend.

Then, View co-host Ana Navarro, a self-described Republican who never misses an opportunity to criticize conservatives and advance the radical Left’s agenda, led the crowd in a rousing performance of Steam’s “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye.”

When one starts dancing in celebration of a rival’s bad luck, it’s always a beautiful display of professionalism and decency, right?

Megyn Kelly, a former Fox News host, criticized the ensemble for being catty and expressed her displeasure with the entire event.

“Not one of these women could solo host a show and get ratings,” Kelly tweeted. “Not one. They are and will always be ensemble players. Their jealousy is on full display here, and ideological hatred too, of course.”

The unhinged and infamous former ESPN and MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann saw Kelly’s analysis and immediately went into attack mode, as he never misses an occasion to verbally assault a conservative lady.

“What would you know about successfully hosting a show?” the oft-fired Olbermann wrote to Kelly. “Fired by Fox, fired by NBC. You’re 0-for-2 and you couldn’t get a job cleaning the studio at The View.”

For clarification, Olbermann has been expelled twice from ESPN, once from Fox Sports Net, once from Current TV, and twice from MSNBC.

In addition, Olbermann’s assertion regarding Kelly was untrue despite being malicious.

The former Fox News personality wasted no time in putting the record straight.

Kelly responded on her show, “First of all, you misstate the circumstances of my departure from NBC, sir. That’s all I’m allowed to say about it.”

“As for Fox, there was a widely reported fact that I was offered $100-Million to stay there. But the record is very clear that I left voluntarily because I wanted to raise my family,” she continued.

After Kelly claimed that donning blackface as part of a child’s Halloween tradition honoring Diana Ross was distinct from donning blackface to mock black people, her NBC program was canceled.

As part of her settlement with NBC, Kelly reportedly received payment equal to her whole $69 million contract.

And Olbermann couldn’t get away with lying about her record with the brash blonde.

“I wanted to raise my family – something you don’t know anything about because no one would marry you,” Kelly replied to Olbermann. “And you have no children. You have a cold, lonely life in which you’ve become a bitter, bitter man. Something I wouldn’t know anything about because my life is joyful and I’ve managed to raise my own children. And someday I hope you have that pleasure. But I don’t have high hopes it’s going to happen.”

Kelly just exposed the sad truth about radical Leftists. They can be so insufferable and lonely that they celebrate the demise of others around them.

Impeachment rumors rattle Capitol Hill

Some in the federal government are in for rude awakening. And it’s coming sooner than you think.

And these impeachment rumors just rattled Capitol Hill.

Republicans in Congress are asking that the 51 former US intelligence agency officials who signed an October 2020 letter criticizing The New York Post’s blockbuster report on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop be punished.

Republicans in the House and Senate are discussing impeachment, security clearance revocations, firings, and the loss of government contracts for the so-called security experts behind the now-discredited letter.

“Exposing the truth is certainly the first step in accountability, pretty powerful accountability,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told Just the News on Monday.

“But the House can impeach those individuals who are currently serving in government. And a number of those individuals … are now serving in the Biden administration. They also ought to either resign or be impeached.”

Johnson, the ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, went on to say that any official who signed the letter dated Oct. 19, 2020, should be barred from working in government for the rest of their lives.

“[W]e should do everything we can to revoke security clearances of every one of those individuals that sign that letter,” he said.

“All of them should be barred from either current or future employment with the federal government.”

Former CIA Acting Director Michael Morell testified before the House Judiciary Committee last month that he drafted the letter and that Secretary of State Antony Blinken – then a Biden campaign adviser – was the “impetus” behind the attempt to discredit The Post.

Morell and scores of other spy agency heavyweights, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA directors Michael Hayden, Leon Panetta, and John Brennan, signed the letter, which Politico published.

Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) answered to a question from Just the News by saying, “Why wouldn’t I? Especially if they knew what they were signing wasn’t truthful, that they said this all just to go after Donald Trump and to protect [Biden’s] son.”

“You’ve got to have consequences for these people,” said Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), echoing Nehls.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused the 51 intelligence personnel of attempting to “sway the 2020 election,” and advocated that their government positions should be eliminated.

“If we don’t like the way people have been doing their job, we can fire them in Appropriations — we can completely wipe out their salaries,” Greene told Just the News. “And that’s what I would like to see done.”

“We had 51 members of the intelligence community lie, sign their name to a lie, saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was not real and that it was pure Russian propaganda. We know exactly why they did that, and that was to sway the 2020 election,” she added, calling for “real accountability” for “the Democrats and the agencies they’re in control of.”

According to a Rasmussen Reports poll released on Tuesday, 60% of voters believe Blinken should be impeached for his alleged role in the “disinfo” letter, which Joe Biden used during his Oct. 22, 2020 debate with President Donald Trump to deflect accusations about his involvement in overseas influence-peddling schemes.

The study also indicated that 63% of respondents felt the signers’ security clearances should be revoked.

But, just like most scandals in the D.C. Swamp, this will get swept under the rug, and no one will be held accountable.

Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to Barack Obama revealed

Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to Barack Obama revealed

The Epstein scandals are not over. We’re learning more every week.

And now Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to Barack Obama have been revealed.

On Sunday, The Wall Street Journal broke a significant article.

For years, we have been anticipating the disclosure of further information regarding the well-known figures who had ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Some of them are people we know, such as Bill Clinton, who frequently flew on Epstein’s jet with Epstein. Some of the names and participants have been covered by our reports in the past.

Thanks to new revelations from Epstein’s personal calendar, which contained his schedules, there is now more. These names had never been revealed before. The WSJ is disclosing the names of well-known individuals who continued to meet with Epstein even after he had been found guilty of solicitation, including soliciting a minor, and had registered as a violent predator. After he was publicly accused of abusing girls in 2006, a lot of information came out.

Even politicians distanced themselves from him and took back donations. Then, in 2008, a plea bargain was reached. But after that, all of these actual or alleged meetings took place. Epstein was still much praised and associated with the rich and famous.

The current director of the CIA, a college president, a well-known professor, and a representative from the Obama administration were among those listed in the article. The Wall Street Journal claims they cannot ensure that each scheduled meeting actually occurred.

When Epstein was the deputy secretary of state in 2014, three meetings were scheduled with William Burns, the current director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The WSJ claims that they first connected in Washington before Burns paid a visit to Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan.

Then there was Kathryn Ruemmler, the former White House lawyer for Barack Obama and current Chief Legal Officer and General lawyer. After she left the White House, she met with Epstein “dozens” of times. She was scheduled to accompany him on trips to Paris in 2015 and to his own island in 2017, according to his calendars.

Epstein was asked to visit the campus by Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College, and brought along a group of young women. Noam Chomsky, a political activist on the left, met with him while he was an educator at MIT.

The WSJ made an effort to obtain information from these individuals regarding the nature of their connections to Epstein.

Burn’s representative made an effort to separate himself from the late billionaire.

According to CIA spokeswoman Tammy Kupperman Thorp, “the director knew nothing about him other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on the transition to the private sector.” “They were not related.”

When he was getting ready to return to the private sector in 2014 as a Deputy Secretary of State, they met. Burns had two evening meetings with Epstein in his townhouse, and his driver was supposed to take him to the airport, according to the Epstein timetables. Burns admits having “briefly” interacted with him once.

Thorp claims he is unable to recall any other interactions, not even the ride to the airport. After leaving the State Department, Burns joined the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace as president, serving there until he returned to the government as CIA Director under Biden.

Epstein made a point of showing Ruemmler his undivided attention by getting her avocado sushi rolls and “visiting apartments she was considering buying.” Even making an attempt to upgrade her flight to first class. He organized a meal for her in August after she departed the White House in June 2014 so that he could meet his friends.

Ruemmeler did not travel with him, according to Goldman Sachs, who claimed that she only had a “professional relationship” with him as a result of her position with Latham and Watkins at the time. She was introduced to Bill Gates and other possible legal clients by Epstein.

Bill Gates’ representative claimed that Epstein didn’t work for him, misrepresented their working connection, and expressed regret over having ever met him. Latham and Watkins asserted that Epstein was not a client of the company.

The spokesman for Goldman Sachs did agree that Epstein had invited her to meetings and social events, but she has never flown anywhere with him.

Ariane de Rothschild, who is currently in charge of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, a Swiss private bank, and who married into the illustrious Rothschild family, was introduced to Ruemmeler by Epstein. Twelve meetings with her were also had by Epstein. The bank denies she ever spoke with Epstein in 2019. They are now admitting that although she did meet with him while performing her job at the bank, she was unaware of his misdeeds.

The president of Bard College, Botstein, claimed that Epstein was being pursued for financial assistance for the university and that their interaction had a “tiny whiff of sadism” due to him “dangling philanthropic support.” He claimed they were aware of his criminal record but were open to “rehabilitation.” Nevertheless, he claimed that while he was at the school, security was present.

Ehud Barak, a former Israeli prime minister, and Epstein also frequently met. Barak said that they discussed geopolitics.

The web of connections can be quite confusing, but all of these people are deeply interconnected through Jeffrey Epstein. Barack Obama is just one of the highest profile individuals who’s connections to Epstein run deeper than we initially thought.

Chuck Schumer was floored after he read this unnerving message

The Democrat Party is starting to crumble. Infighting threatens to boil over.

And Chuck Schumer was floored after he read this unnerving message.

There’s a massive amount of anger and discontent within the ranks of the Democrat Party.

Their lead politician is an octogenarian who can’t seem to act competent long enough for people to stop questioning whether he’s all there mentally.

The Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, is another aging establishment politician.

Despite this, the old guard are starting to take losses.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi stepped down from her position as House Minority Leader to hand over the reins to the younger Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.

Chuck Schumer and his establishment fellows are worried to death they’ll lose their grip over the party.

And the message he just received isn’t exactly encouraging.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has backed down from a possible Democratic primary challenge to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in 2024, only one month after refusing to rule it out.

The Bronx and Queens congressman, 33, is “not planning” to challenge Gillibrand, her campaign spokesman told The Post on Monday.

Politico earlier reported that AOC’s colleagues left-wing Empire State representatives Jamaal Bowman and Ritchie Torres, as well as former Hudson Valley Rep. Mondaire Jones, are also passing on a Senate run.

With the field seemingly devoid of strong intra-party challenges, the 56-year-old Gillibrand has amassed backing from key Democrat-supporting interest groups.

The president of the NAACP’s New York chapter, Hazel Dukes, told The Washington Post on Monday that the senator earned a “A-plus” for her efforts in Congress.

“She works hard. She’s active in the community. I think she’s doing a good job,” Dukes said. “She’s been fighting for women’s rights and against sexual harassment and domestic violence. She’s been strong on education and good on health issues. She’s fought for veterans.”

Last month, the pro-abortion organization EMILYs List re-endorsed the senator.

“Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has always been a pro-choice champion for the people of New York and for all Americans, fighting tenaciously to protect reproductive freedom, uplift women and families, and defend against extremism,” EMILYs List president Laphonza Butler said in a statement.

Keith Wright, the leader of the Manhattan Democratic Party, has also endorsed Gillibrand, who is serving her second full term in the Senate after being chosen by then-Gov. David Paterson to fill a vacancy created by Hillary Clinton in 2009.

“I’m absolutely backing Gillibrand’s re-election,” he told The Post. “She’s doing a great job. She’s got seniority. She and Chuck Schumer are the equivalent of James Brown — the hardest-working senators in the United States of America.”

While this may seem like a win for Schumer and the establishment, this really shows just how weak they are.

AOC and her more radically progressive pals found out they can make Schumer and the old guard squeal.

If they can do that, they don’t need to kick them out of office to get them to do what they want. They know they have all the power now.

This U.S. Supreme Court ruling will change America forever

This U.S. Supreme Court ruling will change America forever

The Supreme Court has been very busy handling high profile cases. But it doesn’t get bigger than this.

Because this one U.S. Supreme Court ruling will change American life forever.

Over the past year, the U.S. Supreme Court has handed down several huge rulings that had a major impact on law and society.

The Dobbs case overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively turning the issue of abortion back to the states to decide how they’d approach it.

And the Bruen case ruled that the state of New York can’t require its citizens provide an “accepted” reason for applying for a gun permit, arguing that such a requirement violates the Second Amendment.

But there’s another case that has the potential to be just as critical as those that many may not hear about in the media.

The Supreme Court said on Monday that it would hear a case that may severely curtail the authority of federal agencies and have a substantial impact on future rules and regulations.

In their upcoming term, the justices will decide whether to change a long-standing rule that gives agencies unspoken power when Congress left uncertainty in a statute.

Since the court’s decision in Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council was first rendered in 1984, the Chevron deference has grown to be one of the most often cited principles in administrative law.

It comprises a two-step test: first, judges determine whether Congress specifically addressed the relevant topic in the act. Courts defer to agencies in the event of ambiguity so long as their decisions are supported by a “permissible construction.”

Concerns about the precedent and how it has increased the authority of agencies have been voiced by a few conservative members of the top court.

The justices will now consider a case that specifically requests their overturning it. As is customary, the high court made the announcement on Monday in a brief, unsigned order, signaling at least four justices had consented to take up the case.

Loper Bright Enterprises, a herring fishing company, is contesting a decision that upheld a doctrine-based National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) regulation.

The rule mandates that federal observers be permitted to board herring fishing vessels to monitor operations and receive compensation for their time. The business claims that the regulation sharply reduces their profit margin unfairly and that the government lacked the authority to implement it.

However, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the federal government’s decision and deferred to NMFS after concluding that the relevant law was unclear.

“Nearly four decades of judicial experience with Chevron have demonstrated that courts are incapable of applying its two-step Chevron framework in a consistent manner,” lawyers for Loper Bright Enterprises argued in court documents.

One of the major reasons why businesses have been leaving America en masse has been because of unfair regulations that make conducting business almost impossible for certain industries in America.

That’s why they leave overseas and find countries that won’t place such unnecessary burdens on their businesses in order to keep the doors open.

If the U.S. Supreme Court overturns the Chevron precedent, it is difficult to understate how important that would be for American business and the economy moving forward.

Biden’s DOJ was just sued for committing this despicable crime

Under President Biden’s leadership, American institutions are being use as his personal police. The Rule of Law is being thrown right out the window.

And now Biden’s DOJ was just sued for committing this despicable crime.

A Catholic lobbying group has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department and FBI for allegedly failing to cooperate with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request over a document from an FBI field office that branded Catholics as “violent extremists.”

On Thursday, CatholicVote and Judicial Watch filed a complaint alleging that the groups had exhausted all avenues for resolving their FOIA requests with the agencies, and that the DOJ and FBI had stopped communicating with the nonprofits since April 6.

The claim was filed in response to the release of an internal memo issued by the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, field office on January 23, 2023. According to the report, ‘radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]’ are potential “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”

The groups were requesting text and email conversations between DOJ and FBI personnel that included terms like “Catholics,” “Latin Mass,” “Radical-Traditionalist Catholics,” “Pope Francis,” and “Rosary,” among others, according to the complaint.

On March 8, the first FOIA inquiries were made. According to the complaint, the FBI informed the groups on March 14 that “unusual circumstances” precluded the agency from meeting the 20-day period for responding to a FOIA request.

Despite the fact that FOIA standards require agencies to respond within 20 business days, with an additional 10 for “unusual circumstances,” the groups claim that the FBI and DOJ have yet to produce the requested records or even communicate whether they intend to comply with the request.

“Our weaponized and corrupt government agencies have demonstrated a pattern of contempt for justice and the rule of law by prioritizing partisan ideology and agendas over the protection of the American people – in particular those with whom they disagree politically,” CatholicVote President Brian Burch said in a statement.

“We are demanding transparency from our government and are determined to uncover just how high up the anti-Catholic bigotry goes.”

In recent congressional testimony about the leaked memo, FBI Director Christopher Wray stated that the agency “took steps immediately to withdraw it and remove it from FBI systems.”

“It does not reflect FBI standards,” Wray added. “We do not conduct investigations based on religious affiliation or practices, full stop. We have also now ordered our inspection division to take a look at how this happened and try to figure out how we can make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland told the Senate Judiciary Committee last month that the document was “appalling.”

However, a subpoena issued last month by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, confirmed that the FBI attempted to cultivate “sources” to combat domestic terrorism by utilizing local religious organizations as “new avenues for tripwire and source development.”

According to Jordan, the FBI used “at least one undercover agent to produce its analysis, and the FBI proposed that its agents engage in outreach to Catholic parishes to develop sources among the clergy and church leadership to inform on Americans practicing their faith.”

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., then sent Garland a letter accusing him of lying to the Senate last month when he said his department is not developing sources inside Catholic churches and other houses of worship, and Hawley demanded to know how many “undercover informants or other agents” are assisting the department from these religious sites.

“Let’s be clear: your Department has decided to turn Catholic congregations into front organizations for the FBI, and when asked about it, you’ve decided to fudge the truth before Congress,” Hawley wrote in a letter to Garland on April 11.

“This is an unconscionable assault on American Catholics’ First Amendment rights and an abdication of your duty to enforce the law without fear or favor,” he said.

In the opinion of Burch of CatholicVote, his concern about the memo extends beyond the Catholic Church.

“This is again a precedent,” Burch said in an interview with Fox News Digital.

“Where unless citizens push back against our government, we’re allowing this escalation of government power to cross boundaries that are sacrosanct, including the privacy of a church, where millions of Americans go every Sunday to worship and to seek fellowship with co-believers.”

“And the prospect of our own federal government spying or sending our undercover agents into these places of worship is a much bigger concern, is a much bigger issue than just for Catholics,” he said.

Joe Biden’s received devastating news about his future

Joe Biden’s received devastating news about his future

The Biden administration is going down in flames. But this might be the nail in the coffin.

Because Joe Biden’s received truly devastating news about his future.

Since months, Americans’ opinion of President Biden’s job performance has deteriorated, with even Democrats and a disturbing number of independents becoming less positive.

Gallup gave Biden more bad news in the same week that he filmed a video announcing that he will seek for reelection in 2024 after months of underwater approval.

Just 37% of Americans, according to their most recent poll, think that Biden is doing a satisfactory job; this is the lowest percentage during his presidency.

The poll was conducted by Gallup between April 3 and April 25, the day Biden declared his candidacy.

The new low for Biden is three points lower than in March and five points lower than in February.

It was also “the lowest quarterly average in his presidency,” according to Gallup, as the steady decline “has pulled down Biden’s job approval average for his recently completed ninth quarter in office, which spanned Jan. 20 through April 19, to 39.7%.”

It’s noteworthy that Biden’s average approval rating for his ninth quarter in office is lower than both Jimmy Carter’s for the same time frame.

By party, only 83 percent of Democrats still support Biden’s leadership, while independent support for the president has fallen to 31 percent, down nine points from the February poll.

Republicans currently only approve of Biden’s work to the tune of 4%.

Similar to previous instances, Biden’s poor economic management is a heavy burden hanging over the president’s approval.

These figures are probably the result of President Biden’s failure to restore all of the jobs lost during the pandemic, the start of decades-high inflation, and the placing of the United States on a collision course with a recession and rising unemployment despite his assurances that he would rebuild America better than it was prior to COVID-19.

According to Gallup, Biden’s decision to run for re-election “comes at the weakest point in his presidency.”

As Americans’ confidence in the economy continues to decline, it has now slipped below the 40% threshold for just the second time during his presidency, according to Gallup.

The reelection campaign of Vice President Biden is not looking well at all.

Shocking new details surface in Tucker Carlson firing

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson was the biggest name in cable news. That’s why his sudden firing sent tremors through the entire conservative movement.

And shocking new details just surfaced in the Tucker Carlson firing.

The media world has been in an uproar over the past few days.

Fox News announced it had parted ways with Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino, and CNN announced it had fired Don Lemon.

But Tucker was far and away the most popular and successful of any of them.

And we’re learning exactly why he was canned.

As reported by a source, Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News by Fox Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch following a religiously charged speech delivered by the now-former Fox presenter on Friday.

According to the source, Murdoch decided to fire Carlson after he made comments during a speech at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary banquet on Friday night.

Vanity Fair reported, “Carlson laced his speech with religious overtones that even Murdoch found too extreme, the source, who was briefed on Murdoch’s decision-making, said.”

During his remarks, Carlson informed the audience that politics had devolved into a struggle between “good” and “evil,” and that the solution was “prayer.”

“I have concluded it might be worth taking just 10 minutes out of your busy schedule to say a prayer for the future, and I hope you will,” Carlson said.

“That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,” the source told the outlet.

According to the insider, Murdoch was reportedly “unnerved” by Carlson’s statements because they matched those of his former fiancee Ann Lesley-Smith.

Murdoch and Smith called off their two-week engagement earlier this spring, according to the publication, because Smith had informed others that Carlson was a “messenger from God.”

Per the source, Carlson attended dinner with Murdoch and Smith in late March at the Fox CEO’s Bel Air vineyard, during which Smith brought out a bible and began reading a passage from Exodus.

“Rupert just sat there and stared,” according to the insider.

Vanity Fair reported, “A few days after the dinner, Murdoch and Smith called off the wedding. By taking Carlson off the air, Murdoch was also taking away his ex’s favorite show.”

Fox News issued a statement on Monday announcing that the news network and its top anchor were “parting ways.”

The statement reads: “Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”

Fox Corporation’s stock dropped as much as 5% after the revelation, wiping approximately $930 million in market value.
