Major Democrat donor turns back on party and viciously attacks Jill Biden

The Democrat party is majorly suffering because of Joe Biden. And more and more supporters are turning away.

And a major Democrat donor has turned his back on the party and viciously attacked Jill Biden.

Billionaire Bill Ackman, known for his substantial donations to Democratic figures such as former President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, recently criticized First Lady Jill Biden for her steadfast defense of President Joe Biden’s decision to run for re-election despite growing concerns about his mental fitness.

In the aftermath of President Biden’s disastrous performance at the debate with former President Donald Trump, there has been a significant uproar within Democratic circles, with many calling for Biden to step aside.

However, Jill Biden has remained unwavering in her support for her husband, firmly stating that the Biden family will not let a poor debate performance overshadow four years of presidency. “We will continue to fight,” she told Vogue in a phone interview.

Ackman took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice his concerns, suggesting that President Biden may no longer possess the mental acuity necessary to make such critical decisions.

He placed the blame squarely on Jill Biden, accusing her of prioritizing her own status and the perks of being First Lady over the well-being of her husband and the country.

Ackman’s post on X was scathing. He wrote:

“I no longer blame @POTUS Biden for not stepping aside. He no longer has the mental acuity to make important judgments about himself. It is becoming increasingly clear however that the fault lies with @FLOTUS Jill Biden.”

Ackman accused Jill Biden of enjoying the benefits of her role to the detriment of her husband’s health. He argued that the stress of maintaining the presidency is exacerbating any existing neurological issues Joe Biden might have.

Ackman cited instances where Jill Biden appeared to treat her husband in a manner akin to managing an elderly relative, noting how she praises him for basic functions and manages his public appearances.

Ackman questioned Jill Biden’s motivations, suggesting that she enjoys the power and control that come with her position. He implied that her circle of friends and advisors might be enabling this behavior, fearing loss of access and influence.

“Her power has clearly grown as he gets weaker. And she likes the feeling of power. She speaks for the president when he can’t or when he is napping. She tells his team and staff when he is available, and when he is not. She likes being in control.”

Ackman further speculated that many decisions ostensibly made by the President could actually be Jill Biden’s doing, raising concerns about who is truly in charge.

Ackman warned that Jill Biden’s actions could tarnish not only Joe Biden’s legacy but her own as well.

He expressed alarm at the potential risk to national security and the stability of a world in turmoil, should the President’s cognitive decline impact his decision-making abilities.

“Jill Biden is destroying her own legacy along with the president’s. The whole thing would just be a tragedy for the Biden family if it didn’t put the country at greater risk in a world in turmoil.”

In a final pointed remark, Ackman suggested that Jill Biden might not fully grasp the gravity of her marriage vows: “Perhaps she didn’t understand what ‘in sickness and in health’ meant.”

Ackman’s comments reflect a growing unease within both political circles and the general public regarding President Biden’s capacity to lead the nation effectively. His criticisms are part of a broader discourse questioning the integrity of those surrounding the President and the potential consequences of a leadership perceived as faltering.

In contrast, White House officials have dismissed these concerns, reiterating confidence in President Biden’s abilities. Yet, Ackman’s remarks underscore a significant divide in perception, one that could influence voter sentiment as the 2024 election approaches.

From an American viewpoint, Ackman’s critique highlights the perceived fragility of Biden’s administration and the alleged manipulations by those close to him.

It underscores a narrative that positions the Biden presidency as one propped up by those who benefit from its continuation, rather than one driven by the President’s own competencies and vision.

Republicans are likely to leverage these criticisms to galvanize their base, framing the upcoming election as a critical juncture to restore competent and transparent leadership.

They argue that the current administration’s actions, from domestic policies to handling international relations, have often seemed disjointed and reactive, suggesting a need for decisive and robust leadership.

As the 2024 election draws nearer, such narratives will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the political landscape, potentially swaying undecided voters and reinforcing the resolve of the conservative electorate.

Crucial swing state throws Donald Trump a curveball he never expected

With the Radical Left doing everything they can to oppose Trump, he has his work cut out for him. And now, even swing states seem to be out for him.

Because a crucial swing state threw Donald Trump a massive curveball he never expected.

Regulators in New Jersey are poised to decide whether the liquor licenses for Donald Trump’s golf courses in Colts Neck and Bedminster should be renewed following his guilty conviction on 34 felony counts.

The State Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has issued temporary permits, delaying the final decision until a hearing scheduled for July 19 in Trenton.

Trump, after assuming the presidency in January 2017, handed over the management of The Trump Organization, which runs these golf courses, to his sons Donald Jr. and Eric.

However, New Jersey officials argue that because Trump remains the “sole beneficiary” of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, his felony conviction impacts the businesses’ eligibility to serve alcohol.

The Attorney General’s Office explained, “A review by ABC indicates that Mr. Trump maintains a direct beneficial interest in the three liquor licenses through the receipt of revenues and profits from them, as the sole beneficiary of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.”

New Jersey law prohibits anyone convicted of a crime involving “moral turpitude” from holding a liquor license. Therefore, Trump must prove that his crimes do not fall under this category to retain the licenses.

The Trump Organization responded with a statement: “We believe that a hearing regarding the renewal of our liquor licenses is unwarranted and unjustified. We sincerely hope that this investigation is not political in nature, and given the foregoing, we feel confident that our licenses will remain unaffected.”

While the Colts Neck and Bedminster courses face scrutiny, a third Trump golf course in Pine Hill had its liquor license renewed by the municipality and is unaffected by the hearing.

This move by New Jersey regulators is seen by many conservatives as yet another attempt to politically target and harass former President Trump.

The timing and nature of this hearing raise serious concerns about whether these actions are driven by genuine legal concerns or a continued effort by left-leaning authorities to undermine Trump’s businesses and legacy.

It is crucial to remember that Trump has been a polarizing figure, and his presidency and post-presidency actions have faced relentless scrutiny.

This latest development adds to a series of legal and political challenges he has encountered since leaving office. Critics argue that such investigations are part of a broader strategy to diminish his influence and obstruct his potential 2024 presidential bid.

The underlying principle of fairness in the application of laws and regulations is at stake. If the liquor license renewals are denied based on these charges, it sets a precedent that can be used to target other political figures and business leaders in the future, effectively weaponizing regulatory bodies for political ends.

Supporters of Trump argue that the charges themselves are part of a politically motivated campaign against him. They point to numerous instances where Trump and his associates have faced legal actions that they believe are unjust and aimed solely at damaging his reputation and business interests.

Moreover, the concept of “moral turpitude” in New Jersey’s liquor laws is somewhat subjective and can be interpreted in various ways.

It is vital that this term is not misused to unjustly penalize individuals based on political affiliations or public opinions rather than clear legal standards.

In the broader context of Trump’s political career, this issue highlights the ongoing tension between his supporters and detractors. It also underscores the importance of transparency and fairness in the regulatory process.

Ensuring that all parties are held to the same standards, regardless of their political standing, is essential to maintaining public trust in the legal system.

As the July 19 hearing approaches, all eyes will be on the New Jersey regulators and the outcome of this decision. The implications of their ruling will likely resonate beyond the immediate scope of Trump’s golf courses, influencing perceptions of regulatory fairness and political impartiality in America.

This situation also serves as a reminder of the significant power that state and local regulators wield over businesses and how such power can be used — or abused — in politically charged climates. It is a call to action for conservatives to remain vigilant and advocate for a just and equitable application of the law, free from political bias and influence.

White House makes a shocking announcement regarding replacing Biden

After a disastrous showing at the first Presidential debate, many rumors have been circulating that the Left will replace Biden. And now, the rumors are becoming a shocking reality.

And the White House has made a major announcement regarding replacing Biden.

Amid mounting concerns about his mental acuity and fitness for office, the White House has firmly denied reports that President Joe Biden is considering withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race.

This speculation has gained traction following Biden’s lackluster performance at a recent presidential debate, which has intensified doubts among many, especially Democratic pundits, about his capacity to continue serving as president.

An NBC News report suggested that Biden planned to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with his family during a trip to Camp David.

This fueled speculation about Biden’s potential withdrawal. However, a White House official swiftly refuted the report, stating, “The premise of the story is not accurate.” The official added that the trip had been scheduled for weeks and included plans for a family photo session.

Despite the White House’s assertions, the rumors reflect a broader anxiety within the Democratic Party about Biden’s viability as a candidate.

Democratic leaders have publicly dismissed the notion of replacing Biden on the ticket. A spokesperson for Nancy Pelosi’s office stated, “Speaker Pelosi has full confidence in President Biden and looks forward to attending his inauguration on January 20, 2025. Any suggestion that she has engaged in a different course of action is simply not true.”

Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have also issued statements defending Biden.

Both have emphasized their unwavering support for Biden and confidence in his leadership. However, the involvement of these political heavyweights highlights the seriousness of the concerns within the Democratic Party.

Biden’s decision to run for re-election ultimately rests with him, but it is clear that the debate performance has had an impact.

The President has been attempting to reassure voters and donors who are skeptical of his potential for re-election.

During a recent event, Biden acknowledged the criticism, stating, “I understand the concern about the debate — I get it,” and admitted he “didn’t have a great night.”

Sources close to Biden describe his mood as humiliated and devoid of confidence. One source indicated that First Lady Jill Biden’s opinion would significantly influence the President’s decision.

“The only person who has ultimate influence with him is the first lady,” the source said. “If she decides there should be a change of course, there will be a change of course.”

The speculation about Biden’s potential withdrawal is not new. For months, questions have been raised about his age, cognitive abilities, and overall fitness for the demands of the presidency.

These concerns have been exacerbated by numerous public appearances where Biden has appeared confused, forgetful, or physically frail.

The media has been downplaying or ignoring Biden’s visible struggles, labeling any unflattering videos as “cheap fakes” and suggesting they are edited or taken out of context.

This strategy of minimizing concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities and fitness for office has been evident in the way the media has covered his recent public appearances.

For instance, a supercut shared by Grabien media founder Tom S. Elliott juxtaposed video of Biden appearing confused and lost with audio of his media defenders praising his mental acuity and leadership.

The contrast was striking and highlighted the disconnect between the reality of Biden’s condition and the media’s portrayal.

As the election approaches, Biden’s campaign faces a significant challenge. The President’s ability to effectively communicate and engage with voters is crucial, and any signs of weakness or frailty could be devastating. The involvement of high-profile Democrats like Obama and Clinton underscores the party’s recognition of this risk.

The coming months will be critical for Biden as he seeks to solidify his position within the Democratic Party and address the concerns raised by both supporters and critics.

The President will need to demonstrate that he has the physical and mental stamina to lead the country for another term. If he fails to do so, the pressure for him to step aside may become overwhelming.

In the meantime, the Republican Party is poised to capitalize on any signs of weakness. Former President Donald Trump and other potential GOP candidates have already begun to frame Biden as unfit for office, and this narrative is likely to intensify as the election draws closer.

Major group fact-checks Biden’s shocking lies and exposes the administration’s dark secrets

Joe Biden, his administration, and the entire Radical Left are full of ridiculous lies. And many of them are dangerous.

But now a major group has called Biden out and exposed the entire administration.

In a dramatic rebuke to President Joe Biden’s claims during the first presidential debate that the Border Patrol had endorsed him, the Border Patrol Union has firmly clarified that they have never and will never endorse Biden. This statement came in response to Biden’s comments about his administration’s handling of border security and asylum officers.

During the debate, Biden asserted that his administration had significantly increased the number of asylum officers and that the Border Patrol supported his position on border security.

This statement was immediately contested by the Border Patrol Union. The union took to social media to make their stance unequivocally clear, posting, “To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden.”

Brandon Judd, president of the Border Patrol Union, appeared on Fox News to directly address Biden’s misleading debate claim and his administration’s border policies.

“The border can be secured tomorrow if we would go back, and we would look at the policies that were in place that President Trump built. They were great policies,” Judd stated, underscoring the effectiveness of the previous administration’s approach to border security.

Vice President of the Border Patrol Union, Art Del Cueto, also voiced his disbelief and frustration over Biden’s claims. Speaking on the same broadcast network, Del Cueto said, “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. It shocked me when you hear this administration, to begin with, say the border was secure then ignore it for several years. But this one was a new one for me.”

Biden’s attempt to downplay the number of terrorists crossing the border during the debate also drew sharp criticism from Del Cueto. He accused the administration of either lying about or being unaware of the current border situation.

“This administration, they’ll lie about what’s happening at the border or they won’t realize that it’s actually happening. It’s one of the two and it’s upsetting to see it because the country is suffering from it,” Del Cueto remarked.

Del Cueto highlighted the recent incident involving a Haitian migrant who had entered the country illegally and subsequently raped a 15-year-old disabled girl in Boston, only to be released on a $500 bail.

“You continue to hear these cases pop up. One after another,” Del Cueto explained. “Because this administration has allowed so many individuals to just claim asylum and get released, it’s going to continue to happen.”

He emphasized that while securing the border is crucial, it is equally important to address the millions of illegal immigrants already in the country, some of whom pose significant threats.

Del Cueto warned, “We are going to see many, many more stories like this come in the near future because no one is doing anything about it.”

The Border Patrol Union’s strong rebuttal underscores the significant gap between the administration’s claims and the reality on the ground.

Biden’s policies, they argue, have led to an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration, endangering American communities and overwhelming Border Patrol resources.

The union’s stance also reflects a broader dissatisfaction with Biden’s handling of immigration among law enforcement and many Americans across the nation.

The Biden administration’s approach, which includes rolling back many of Trump’s effective border policies, has been widely criticized for creating a crisis at the southern border. The administration’s attempts to portray these policies as successful are seen by many as disingenuous and disconnected from the realities faced by border communities and law enforcement.

Biden’s debate performance and subsequent fallout have only intensified these criticisms. Many Republicans argue that the president’s cognitive abilities and overall fitness for office are in question, further undermining his credibility on critical issues like border security.

This latest episode, where Biden’s claims were quickly debunked by the very people on the front lines, adds to the growing list of controversies and missteps that have characterized his presidency.

As the administration continues to navigate these challenges, the divide between its rhetoric and the actual situation at the border remains a significant point of contention. The Border Patrol Union’s response is a stark reminder of the administration’s struggles to maintain credibility and effectively manage the complex issues surrounding immigration and border security.

President Biden’s misleading debate claims about Border Patrol endorsement have been thoroughly debunked by the union itself, highlighting the ongoing crisis at the border and the administration’s failure to address it effectively.

This incident is yet another example of the growing disconnect between the Biden administration’s narrative and the reality faced by those charged with securing America’s borders. As the 2024 election approaches, these issues will undoubtedly continue to play a pivotal role in the national discourse.

Biden administration makes a terrifying border decision that will affect us all

The Biden administration has handled the border crisis terribly. And right now they seem to be trying to make things worse.

Because the Biden administration has made a terrifying border decision that will affect us all.

In a horrifying and shocking move that has sparked significant controversy, dozens of migrants involved in a violent riot at the border near El Paso, Texas, in March have been released into the United States by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

This incident raises critical concerns about border security, immigration enforcement, the policies of the current administration, and highlights the failures of the DHS Secretary Mayorkas.

On March 21, a group of over 200 illegal immigrants stormed the border near El Paso, clashing with Texas National Guardsmen who were defending the area.

The confrontation, captured on video, showed the migrants violently attempting to breach the border, leading to chaotic scenes of conflict.

In May, an El Paso judge dismissed criminal charges against all the involved migrants, resulting in their release from state custody and subsequent handover to ICE.

According to reports, ICE has since released 43 of these migrants into the United States. This decision has been met with widespread criticism, particularly from those advocating for stricter immigration controls.

An ICE spokesperson defended the agency’s actions, stating that release decisions are made on a “case-by-case basis.”

The spokesperson explained, “ERO [Enforcement and Removal Operations] officers make decisions on associated enforcement actions and apply prosecutorial discretion, where applicable, in a responsible manner, informed by their experience as law enforcement professionals and in a way that best protects the communities we serve.”

However, a Homeland Security source suggested that ICE’s standards are arbitrary and highlighted the agency’s struggles to deport migrants swiftly enough due to limited resources.

“Sometimes we arrest a child molester and he gets released because of housing space. Or the charge is not egregious enough to keep him or her in custody,” the source revealed.

Of the migrants involved in the riot:

43 have been released into the U.S.
32 are in ICE custody pending court hearings.
105 are in detention awaiting deportation.
43 have been successfully deported.

The release of these individuals has raised alarms among Americans who argue that such leniency undermines the rule of law and endangers public safety.

Following the riot, Texas authorities identified nine migrants as leaders of the riot, intending to file felony rioting charges.

However, two of these individuals were released by Border Patrol before charges could be filed. Texas authorities managed to apprehend one, but the other remains at large.

In response to the riot, Texas has armed soldiers and state troopers on the border with non-lethal pepper ball guns to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators have been vocal in their condemnation of the Biden administration’s handling of this situation. They argue that the decision to release these migrants reflects a broader failure of the administration’s immigration policies.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized the administration, saying, “This is what happens when you have an administration that refuses to enforce our immigration laws. It’s a slap in the face to law-abiding citizens and a clear signal to would-be illegal immigrants that they can break our laws with impunity.”

The release of these migrants underscores a larger debate about the efficacy and direction of U.S. immigration policy under President Biden. Critics argue that the administration’s approach has led to increased illegal immigration, strained resources, and compromised public safety.

The El Paso incident and its aftermath are indicative of a perceived leniency that many believe invites further illegal crossings and undermines the efforts of law enforcement at the border.

For those advocating for stronger immigration enforcement, the actions taken by ICE in this instance are seen as part of a troubling pattern of inadequate response to illegal immigration.

The actions of the Biden administration and its impact on border security will undoubtedly remain a focal point of political discourse as the nation heads into the 2024 election season.

Biden administration makes a Middle East move that could lead to thousands of American deaths

Joe Biden’s foreign policies are atrocious. And it seems he is always losing American lives in the process.

And now, his newest move in the Middle East could lead to thousands of American deaths.

The Biden administration is mobilizing military assets in preparation for a potential evacuation of American citizens from Lebanon as the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah intensifies.

The situation has escalated, with fighting spreading further north, prompting nations worldwide to advise their citizens against traveling to the volatile Mediterranean country and to develop contingency plans for safe evacuation.

NBC News reports that U.S. defense officials have revealed the strategic positioning of the USS Wasp, an amphibious assault ship, in the Mediterranean Sea on Wednesday.

Accompanying the USS Wasp are Marines from the 24th Expeditionary Unit, ready to join forces in the area for a military-assisted departure if the situation further deteriorates.

As of 2022, approximately 86,000 Americans were residing in Lebanon. While the exact number of those willing to evacuate remains uncertain, the precedent set in 2006 during a similar conflict, when the U.S. successfully evacuated 15,000 people, underscores the feasibility of such an operation.

White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson emphasized that preventing an escalation at the Israel-Lebanon border is a top priority for the U.S.

Watson stated, “We continue to work toward a diplomatic resolution that would allow Israeli and Lebanese citizens to safely return to their homes and live in peace and security.”

The administration is committed to a diplomatic path, although preparations for a military response underline the seriousness of the current threat.

The Biden administration’s response to the escalating conflict and the potential evacuation underscores significant criticisms regarding its handling of international crises.

Critics argue that the current administration has often appeared reactive rather than proactive, failing to establish a strong and clear foreign policy stance that would deter aggression from hostile entities like Hezbollah.

The readiness to evacuate Americans is seen as a necessary measure, yet it also highlights major weaknesses in Biden’s foreign policy.

The increasing aggression of Iran-backed Hezbollah and the instability in the Middle East are direct consequences of what many conservatives view as the administration’s inadequate and indecisive approach to foreign threats.

Under Donald Trump, the United States was able to stay out of any new conflicts in the Middle East, but as soon as Joe Biden took office, everything has fallen apart.

Joe Biden’s foreign policies are nothing short of a disaster and now, instead of being in a strong position, Biden has had to run for the hills and left thousands of Americans in danger in the Middle East.

The history of U.S. involvement in Lebanon, including the 2006 evacuation, serves as a backdrop to the current preparations.

The previous successful evacuation demonstrates America’s capability to protect its citizens, but also underscores the cyclical nature of conflict in the region and the persistent threats posed by terrorist organizations like Hezbollah.

Many Americans point out that the administration has failed to learn from history and has not taken sufficient steps to prevent the current escalation.

The Biden administration’s preparation for a potential evacuation of Americans from Lebanon is a prudent and necessary measure in light of escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah.

However, for many Americans, this situation serves as a stark reminder of the need for a strong and proactive national security strategy to protect American lives and interests globally.

The administration’s reactive stance and failure to deter aggression from hostile entities highlight significant weaknesses in its foreign policy approach.

The evolving situation in Lebanon requires continuous monitoring and a readiness to respond decisively to safeguard American citizens.

As the conflict unfolds, the actions taken by the U.S. government will be scrutinized not only for their immediate impact but also for their long-term implications on America’s foreign policy and national security posture.

House of Representatives hits Radical leader with massive loss

The Radical Left has become increasingly bold in recent times. But thankfully there are still checks and balances.

And the House of Representatives has hit a Radical leader with a massive loss.

In a bold move, the House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to amend a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill to reduce the salary of a DHS immigration officer, Nejwa Ali, who has openly expressed support for Hamas, to $1.

This decision comes after Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refused to fire Ali despite her blatant anti-Semitic remarks and troubling background.

Nejwa Ali, a former spokeswoman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)—a U.S.-designated terrorist group—was hired by DHS to vet immigrants.

Despite her employment with the federal agency, she continued to express strong anti-Semitic views and support for Palestine on social media.

Representative Mark Amodei (R-NV), the sponsor of the DHS funding bill, introduced the amendment on behalf of Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY), a vocal advocate for holding anti-Semites accountable. Amodei emphasized that the Republican conference has consistently stood with Israel in its fight against terrorist organizations and that Ali’s views have no place in DHS.

“Our conference has been quite clear about standing with Israel in their fight against a brutal and inhumane terrorist organization,” Amodei stated. “Anti-Semitism certainly has no place in the Department of Homeland Security.”

Following the Daily Wire’s exposé, Mayorkas placed Ali on paid leave pending an investigation. However, despite clear evidence of her anti-Semitic behavior and her confirmation in an audio recording that she celebrated the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, she remained on the DHS payroll. Ali even used her paid leave to protest outside the Israeli embassy and harass military officials.

Amodei expressed his frustration, noting that Mayorkas confirmed within the last two weeks that Ali was still employed. “This is unacceptable. The Department has had more than eight months to investigate and terminate this employee with cause pursuant to the civil service applicable regulations,” he said.

“While the Secretary in the Biden administration refused to do the right thing, I would invite the members of the House of Representatives to terminate this employee. We must do the right thing and act with urgency to force their hand.”

On the other side, Lauren Underwood (D-IL) defended the DHS, arguing that the investigation process must be allowed to proceed. “It’s important that we defend the core principles upon which our country is founded, and that includes the system of checks and balances,” she said, adding that Ali’s case was under active investigation.

Despite Underwood’s objections, the amendment passed based on a voice vote, highlighting the strong bipartisan support for removing Ali from her position.

In addition to this amendment, Republicans successfully passed an amendment introduced by Representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) to strip Secretary Mayorkas of his salary.

These amendments are part of a broader effort by House Republicans to use the DHS funding bill to restrict the activities of the department, which they argue has shifted from enforcing immigration law to facilitating the transport of illegal immigrants into the U.S. interior under the Biden administration.

Representative Gregory Steube (R-FL) highlighted how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has diverted resources from the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide medical care to illegal immigrants, leaving veterans waiting.

His amendment to prevent DHS from using veterans’ funding for this purpose passed 254-176, with 27 Democrats supporting it.

The proceedings became more contentious with other votes. Representative Thomas Tiffany (R-WI) criticized DHS’s abuse of the “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) program, particularly for nationals of El Salvador, who have been allowed to work in the U.S. under TPS since a 2001 earthquake.

His amendment to revoke El Salvador’s TPS status failed 190-222, with all Democrats and 18 Republicans opposing it.

While the underlying DHS funding bill vote was postponed, these amendments send a strong message to the Biden administration.

Inserting these amendments into a must-pass bill increases their likelihood of becoming law, although they could be removed during reconciliation with the Senate’s version.

The House Republicans’ actions reflect a broader strategy to hold the Biden administration accountable for what they see as failures in immigration policy and national security.

The amendments targeting Nejwa Ali and Secretary Mayorkas underscore the GOP’s commitment to rooting out anti-Semitism and ensuring that federal agencies uphold their intended purposes.

This legislative push represents a significant step in addressing concerns about DHS’s current direction and the broader implications for U.S. immigration policy.

Biden was just saved from major embarrassment, but the damage is already been done

Joe Biden is an expert at making a fool of himself. And even when people try to save him, he can’t help but ruin it.

And Biden was just saved from major embarrassment, but the damage is already be done.

In a moment that encapsulated growing concerns over his cognitive fitness, President Joe Biden froze on live television during CNN’s presidential debate against former President Donald Trump on Thursday night. The incident occurred while Biden was discussing his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As Biden attempted to articulate his point, he stumbled over his words, saying, “…eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the, with the COVID,” followed by a confused, “Excuse me with, dealing with everything we have to do with, uh, look–, if we finally beat Medicare–” This incoherent moment underscored ongoing doubts about his mental acuity.

Recognizing the potential damage, CNN’s Jake Tapper intervened swiftly, interrupting Biden mid-sentence. “Thank you, President Biden,” Tapper said, attempting to shift the conversation away from Biden’s evident struggle.

Former President Donald Trump seized the opportunity to highlight what he perceives as Biden’s failures, particularly in managing social welfare programs.

“Well, he’s right,” Trump remarked. “He did beat Medicaid. He beat it to death and he’s destroying Medicare because all of these people are coming in. They’re putting them on Medicare, they’re putting them on Social Security. They’re gonna destroy Social Security. This man is going to singlehandedly destroy Social Security, these millions and millions of people coming in. They’re trying to put them on Social Security.”

Biden’s freeze is not an isolated incident but part of a pattern that has fueled speculation about his cognitive decline.

Critics argue that such moments are becoming increasingly frequent, raising serious questions about his capacity to effectively lead the nation.

This latest incident comes at a time when the President is under intense scrutiny, with many Americans expressing concern over his mental and physical fitness for office.

The way CNN handled the situation has also drawn criticism. Many conservatives view the network’s quick intervention as further evidence of media bias and protectionism towards Biden.

It appears that mainstream media outlets are willing to go to great lengths to shield Biden from embarrassment and scrutiny, even if it means interrupting live debates to cover for his gaffes.

This incident is reminiscent of past instances where the media has been accused of downplaying or ignoring Biden’s verbal missteps and cognitive lapses.

Critics argue that if a similar moment had occurred with a Republican candidate, the media would have amplified the narrative of unfitness for office rather than intervening to mitigate the damage.

The President’s cognitive struggles add another layer of complexity to his administration’s efforts to maintain public confidence.

Leaders are expected to communicate effectively and inspire trust; frequent public lapses undermine this expectation and provide fodder for opponents.

The upcoming election is crucial, with both sides vying to secure the trust and votes of the American people.

Biden’s recent debate performance may have significant implications for his re-election campaign. Voters are increasingly looking for strong, decisive leadership, particularly in the face of ongoing challenges such as the pandemic, economic instability, and international tensions.

As Biden continues to face questions about his cognitive health, it remains to be seen how his campaign will address these concerns. Will they continue to rely on media interventions to shield him, or will they adopt a more transparent approach to reassure the electorate?

Joe Biden was just stabbed in the back by one of his closest allies

0

Joe Biden had a disastrous night at his first presidential debate. But still, no one expected things to be this bad.

And Joe Biden was just stabbed in the back by one of his closest allies.

In a major turn of events, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough suggested on Friday morning that President Joe Biden should consider stepping down following his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump.

This statement is noteworthy coming from a media figure who has been a staunch supporter of Biden throughout his presidency.

Scarborough began his commentary by lavishing praise on Biden’s presidency, emphasizing his accomplishments. “I love Joe Biden and Jill,” he declared, adding that he would gladly debate anyone on Biden’s effectiveness as a president.

Scarborough pointed to Biden’s success in passing bipartisan legislation, expanding NATO, responding to China’s threats, and maintaining the strongest economy and military relative to the rest of the world in decades. “I think his presidency has been an unqualified success,” he asserted.

Despite this praise, Scarborough raised critical questions about Biden’s performance in the recent debate.

He drew a parallel to the corporate world, asking rhetorically, “If Joe Biden were a CEO and performed the way he did on Thursday night, would any Fortune 500 corporation keep him on as CEO?” This analogy underscores the gravity of Biden’s perceived failures during the debate.

Scarborough argued that Democrats need to face the reality of Biden’s declining performance.

He suggested that a trusted adviser needs to have a candid conversation with Biden, indicating that it might be time for him to step down.

“The fact is, friends, failure is just not an option,” Scarborough emphasized, pointing to the high stakes of the upcoming 2024 election.

Scarborough stressed the critical importance of the 2024 election, particularly in the context of preventing a second term for Donald Trump.

“In 2024, failure is not an option,” he said, noting that personal feelings towards Biden should not cloud judgment about what is best for the country.

He claimed that while Biden has proven he can govern effectively, his ability to campaign has come into serious question.

Scarborough’s comments are significant in light of the mainstream media’s ongoing efforts to defend Biden’s presidency.

Legacy media has often dismissed criticisms of Biden’s mental acuity and fitness for office, labeling unflattering videos of Biden as “cheap fakes” and claiming they are deceptively edited.

This defense strategy has been met with skepticism from many Americans who witnessed Biden’s apparent struggles firsthand.

Tom S. Elliott, founder of Grabien media, recently shared a supercut video contrasting footage of Biden’s public appearances with the glowing defenses offered by media figures.

The video juxtaposes clips of Biden appearing confused or lost with audio of media personalities praising his sharpness and effectiveness. This stark contrast has only fueled doubts about Biden’s ability to lead.

Biden’s decline is not just a personal issue but has broader implications for the Democratic Party.

Polls have shown Biden trailing Trump in key battleground states, and many Democratic candidates are outperforming Biden in their respective races.

For instance, a New York Times poll revealed that several Democratic senators are polling better than Biden in their states, highlighting the president’s drag on the ticket.

Americans have seized on these weaknesses, with many suggesting that Biden’s administration is out of touch with the needs and concerns of everyday Americans.

Issues such as rising inflation, a faltering economy, and a perceived lack of leadership have been key points of criticism.

Joe Scarborough’s call for Biden to step down is a dramatic development, especially coming from a prominent supporter.

It reflects a growing concern within the Democratic Party about Biden’s ability to lead the country effectively, particularly as the 2024 election approaches. The stakes are high, and as Scarborough emphasized, failure is not an option.

The question now is whether Biden and the Democratic Party will heed this call for change or continue on their current path. The coming months will be crucial in determining the future direction of the party and the country.

Shocking development sends another liberal squad member packing their bags

0

Being a politician is not a game, but the Radical Left seems to treat it as one. And because they messed around, now they are finding out.

And this shocking development sends another liberal squad member packing their bags.

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), a prominent member of the Squad, is facing a serious challenge in her primary race.

According to a recent poll conducted by Democrat pollster Mark Mellman and published by Politico, Bush’s opponent, Wesley Bell, has pulled ahead in the race.

This comes shortly after another Squad member, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), was defeated in his primary.

The poll, conducted between June 18-22 with a sample size of 400 voters and a margin of error of +/- 4.9 percentage points, revealed that Bell, the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney, has a slight lead over Bush.

Bell currently holds 43% of the vote, compared to Bush’s 42%, with 11% of voters still undecided. Among the most regular primary voters, Bell leads Bush by a significant 10 points.

The poll’s analysis indicated that Bell’s image is improving while Bush’s is moving in a negative direction.

“This primary race is essentially tied but clearly moving in Wesley Bell’s direction,” the analysis stated. Bell’s momentum is attributed to his rising favorability among voters and his strong campaign strategy.

Bush, who has been a vocal advocate for progressive causes, faces vulnerability due to her stance on Israel.

In the wake of the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, Bush called for a ceasefire and advocated for making U.S. aid to Israel conditional, which has alienated some pro-Israel Democrat voters.

AIPAC, a pro-Israel advocacy group, has endorsed Bell, which could further consolidate his support among pro-Israel Democrats.

Marshall Wittmann, a spokesperson for AIPAC, stated, “We proudly endorse Wesley Bell, who is a strong advocate for the US-Israel relationship, in clear contrast to his opponent who represents the extremist anti-Israel fringe.”

This endorsement underscores the growing division within the Democratic Party over issues related to Israel and the influence of progressive members like Bush.

Bush’s vote against a House resolution declaring that Israel is “not a racist or apartheid state” has also sparked controversy.

She, along with other Squad members such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) voted against the resolution, further fueling criticism from pro-Israel constituents and organizations.

The challenge to Bush’s seat reflects broader tensions within the Democratic Party, where progressive and centrist factions are increasingly at odds.

Bush, who has been a prominent figure in the Black Lives Matter movement and a staunch advocate for progressive policies, is now battling to retain her seat in a district that has shown signs of shifting political allegiances.

In a similar vein, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) recently lost his primary race to Westchester County Executive George Latimer by double digits.

Bowman’s defeat signals potential trouble for other progressive members of Congress who may face similar challenges from more centrist or moderate Democrats.

With six weeks remaining until the August 6, 2024, primary, the race between Bush and Bell is expected to intensify. Bell’s campaign strategy appears to be resonating with voters who are looking for a change in representation.

If Bell continues to gain support, he could potentially unseat Bush and further shift the balance of power within the Democratic Party.

The outcome of this primary race will not only impact the constituents of Missouri’s 1st Congressional District but also serve as a barometer for the influence of progressive politics within the Democratic Party.

As the race unfolds, all eyes will be on St. Louis to see if another Squad member will face the same fate as Jamaal Bowman.

Newsom slaps Republicans with shocking election curveball

0

Gavin Newsom is one of the most liberal leaders in our nation today. And the thought of him holding any more political power is terrifying.

And now Newsom has slapped Republicans with shocking election curveball.

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s recent State of the State address was less about the state’s current issues and more a blatant attempt to shift blame onto his political opponents while positioning himself for a potential future campaign.

In his 28-minute speech, Newsom portrayed California as a victim of right-wing forces that he claimed were “threatening the very foundation of California’s success.”

This narrative conveniently ignores the glaring failures of his administration, from the state’s mass exodus of residents to its spiraling budget deficit.

Newsom began his address by blaming conservatives for California’s woes, suggesting that the Right’s supposed attacks were undermining the state’s achievements.

“The California way of life we recognize is under attack,” he asserted, claiming that conservatives aim to “impeach the very things that have made us successful.”

This statement is perplexing, considering that California, under Democratic leadership, has seen a mass departure of residents and businesses due to high taxes, rampant homelessness, and rising crime rates.

California has been leading the nation in outbound migration, a fact Newsom chose to gloss over. According to recent data, more people have left California than any other state in the country.

This exodus is largely driven by the state’s high cost of living, burdensome regulations, and deteriorating quality of life — issues that have festered under Newsom’s leadership.

Instead of addressing these concerns, Newsom accused conservatives of wanting to “throw our economy and, in many respects, society as we’ve known it, into chaos.”

Under Newsom’s watch, California’s financial health has deteriorated significantly. The state is now grappling with a massive multibillion-dollar budget deficit.

Despite this, Newsom has continued to push for expansive and costly social programs without a clear plan for sustainable funding.

His address failed to offer any concrete solutions for balancing the budget or curbing the state’s reckless spending. Instead, he deflected responsibility by accusing the Right of attempting to “roll back social progress” and “economic justice.”

Newsom’s claims about California’s handling of the border crisis and homelessness were particularly misleading.

He boasted that California was leading the way in managing the influx of illegal immigrants resulting from President Joe Biden’s border policies. However, this assertion is patently false.

Reporters have repeatedly called out Newsom for overstating California’s role and effectiveness in dealing with the border crisis.

Similarly, Newsom claimed that California was making significant strides in addressing homelessness, despite the state having the largest homeless population in the country.

California’s homeless crisis has only worsened during Newsom’s tenure, with homeless encampments becoming a common sight in cities across the state. His administration’s efforts have been widely criticized as insufficient and poorly executed.

In perhaps the most audacious part of his speech, Newsom dismissed the “wall-to-wall right-wing media coverage” about California’s crime epidemic as false.

He even went as far as to claim that California is safer than Florida, a statement that is easily debunked by crime statistics.

Under Newsom’s leadership, major cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland have seen significant spikes in violent crime, including homicides and assaults.

This rise in crime has been attributed to lenient criminal justice policies and a failure to adequately support law enforcement.

Newsom’s State of the State address bore all the hallmarks of a campaign launch. His rhetoric was filled with sweeping claims about his administration’s successes and dire warnings about conservative policies, painting himself as a defender of California’s progressive values.

This speech seems to be less about addressing the real issues facing Californians and more about positioning himself as a national figure within the Democratic Party.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s State of the State address was a masterclass in deflection and political posturing. By blaming the Right for California’s myriad problems, Newsom conveniently ignored his administration’s failures and the real reasons behind the state’s decline.

Californians deserve leadership that acknowledges and addresses the state’s critical issues, not one that deflects responsibility and uses public addresses as campaign platforms.

As the state continues to struggle with high costs, rampant homelessness, and rising crime, it’s clear that Newsom’s leadership has been anything but the success he claims it to be.

Mayorkas flat-out lies on National TV and people couldn’t be more outraged

0

Mayorkas has completely failed his job as DHS secretary. And now he is making things even worse.

Because Mayorkas flat-out lies on National TV and people couldn’t be more outraged.

In a recent broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas addressed concerns regarding a report that DHS identified over 400 migrants affiliated with an ISIS-linked human smuggling network.

Mayorkas asserted that there is no evidence suggesting these individuals pose a threat to the United States. He claimed that there are rigorous screening and vetting processes in place to ensure national security.

However, co-host Mika Brzezinski raised two critical issues that everyone was thinking.

First, she referenced NBC News reporting on the 400 migrants from Central Asia and elsewhere, suggesting potential ISIS affiliations.

Second, she highlighted ongoing issues with the administration releasing illegal crossers into the U.S. while they pursue asylum claims, a practice that isn’t effective in controlling illegal immigration.

Mayorkas responded by refuting the notion that the identified migrants were plotting harm, underscoring the priority of American safety.

“The safety and security of the American people [is] our highest priority,” Mayorkas stated.

He detailed the DHS’s protocols, including taking enforcement action when derogatory information is found.

However, these claims come during a time in which there has been a significant spike in illegal immigrants murdering US citizens, so most Americans are not comforted by the empty promises of Mayorkas and the Left.

Regarding the release of illegal crossers, Mayorkas claimed a significant reduction in numbers since President Biden’s proclamation.

He acknowledged the limitations in detention capacity, a longstanding issue predating the current administration, necessitating the release of individuals into immigration enforcement proceedings. These individuals are monitored through Alternatives to Detention programs.

Mayorkas reiterated the necessity for congressional action to reform the immigration system, which he described as fundamentally broken, yet the Radical Left refuses to do anything about it.

He stressed that bipartisan agreement exists on the need for reform, yet it remains unfixed since 1996.

The American perspective sharply criticizes the Biden administration’s handling of immigration. Critics argue that the administration’s policies and lack of strict enforcement contribute to national security risks and undermine the integrity of the immigration system.

They claim that the current administration’s approach is overly lenient, allowing potential threats to enter the country under the guise of asylum.

The report on migrants linked to ISIS has fueled conservative concerns about the administration’s competence in safeguarding the nation.

They argue that the screening and vetting processes, despite Mayorkas’s assurances, are insufficient to mitigate the risks posed by such individuals.

Additionally, the ongoing practice of releasing illegal crossers while they pursue asylum claims is seen by many conservatives as a loophole that exacerbates the border crisis.

They advocate for stricter enforcement measures and increased detention capacity to prevent illegal immigrants from disappearing into the country and to ensure that those with legitimate asylum claims are processed efficiently.

Mayorkas’s call for congressional reform aligns with a broader push for comprehensive immigration reform.

However, many Americans emphasize that such reform should prioritize border security, the rule of law, and the interests of American citizens.

They argue that without these priorities, any reform effort will fail to address the root causes of the immigration crisis and will continue to place the nation at risk.
