Republicans deal historical blow to Biden and it could be the end for his whole family

The corrupt Biden family has escaped justice for a long time. But now, it seems that things might be over for them.

Because Republicans have dealt a historic blow to Joe Biden, and it could be the end for his whole family.

In a historic move, the House of Representatives voted on Wednesday afternoon to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

This vote comes in response to Garland’s refusal to hand over the audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur concerning the classified documents investigation.

The resolution passed by a narrow margin, 216 to 207, with one Republican joining 206 Democrats in opposition.

This decision marks a significant escalation in the ongoing battle between the Biden administration and congressional Republicans.

The controversy began in May when President Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio recordings.

White House counsel Ed Siskel emphasized in a letter that the audio lacked a legitimate need to be released and accused congressional Republicans of intending to manipulate the recordings for partisan purposes.

“The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal — to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes,” Siskel wrote.

This assertion of executive privilege has been a significant point of contention, with Republicans arguing that transparency is necessary for accountability in the classified documents investigation.

Attorney General Garland has staunchly defended his decision not to release the audio. In early June, he told Congress that providing the audio would “chill cooperation with the department in future investigations.”

Garland argued that releasing the recordings could set a dangerous precedent, deterring witnesses from cooperating with future investigations out of fear that their interviews might be broadcast to the public and Congress.

Garland also highlighted the extensive cooperation his department had already provided. “We went to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the committee gets responses to its legitimate requests for information,” Garland said.

He noted that Special Counsel Hur’s report, transcripts of Biden’s interview, and more than five hours of testimony from Hur had all been made available to Congress.

The House Judiciary and Oversight Committees voted in May to approve a motion to hold Garland in contempt, citing the need for full transparency in the investigation.

Committee members argued that the audio recordings were crucial for understanding the context and tone of Biden’s statements, which could potentially reveal inconsistencies or gaps in the written transcripts.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has been a vocal advocate for obtaining the audio.

“The American people deserve to know the full truth about the President’s involvement in the mishandling of classified documents,” Jordan said. “Attorney General Garland’s refusal to comply with our subpoena undermines the principles of transparency and accountability.”

The vote to hold Garland in contempt is a significant political maneuver, reflecting the deep partisan divisions in Washington.

For many, this move underscores their commitment to holding the Biden administration accountable, particularly in light of what they perceive as a pattern of stonewalling and obfuscation.

“This administration has repeatedly shown that it has something to hide,” said Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the House Minority Leader.

“By refusing to release the audio, Attorney General Garland is shielding the President from scrutiny. The American people deserve better.”

Joe Biden’s horrific plan to push out 75% of Americans has been revealed

The radical Left wants nothing more than to destroy America and replace all of its citizens. But no one thought they would actually accomplish this.

But now, Joe Biden’s horrific plan to push out 75% of Americans has been revealed.

A recent report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has revealed a startling trend in the U.S. job market:

The majority of job growth since 2019 has gone to both legal and illegal immigrants, leaving many natural-born Americans struggling to find employment.

This new information sheds light on what The New York Times has described as a “historically strong job market,” and provides critical context for the dissatisfaction many voters feel towards President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy.

According to the CIS report, while the country has indeed added millions of jobs since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a disproportionate share of that employment growth has benefited immigrants.

This trend highlights a significant shift in the labor market dynamics under the Biden administration, which has overseen a record-breaking surge in illegal immigration.

The CIS analysis references a recent study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which found that the number of employed natural-born Americans increased by only 971,000 from May 2019 to May 2024.

In stark contrast, the number of employed immigrants rose by 3.2 million during the same period.

This discrepancy raises questions about the prioritization of job opportunities and the economic policies that have been put in place.

A particularly troubling aspect of this trend is the declining labor force participation rate among natural-born Americans, especially men.

The labor force participation rate, which measures the share of people who are either working or actively looking for work, has seen a significant drop among U.S.-born men aged 25 to 54.

Currently, only 88.4 percent of men in this age group are participating in the labor force, one of the lowest levels ever recorded. This is a severe decline from the 96 percent participation rate seen in 1960.

The situation is even more dire for U.S.-born men in the same age range with a high school diploma or less.

Only 81.6 percent are currently participating in the labor force, a figure that is just a tenth of a percent above the lowest level ever recorded.

This decline in workforce participation among less-educated men suggests that they are being left behind in the current job market, further exacerbated by the influx of immigrant labor.

Advocates for increased immigration often argue that there are not enough workers without the addition of immigrants.

However, the CIS report challenges this narrative by pointing to the long-term deterioration in labor force participation among U.S.-born men.

The report argues that addressing this issue should be a priority, rather than relying on immigrant labor to fill the gaps.

Since taking office, Biden has presided over an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration. Officials have recorded over 9.5 million nationwide encounters and an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways.

The foreign-born population residing in the United States has also reached an all-time high of 51.6 million, marking an increase of 5.1 million since March 2022.

The Biden administration’s immigration policies have contributed to the displacement of natural-born American workers, particularly those with lower levels of education.

This displacement not only affects individual livelihoods, but also has broader social and economic consequences.

U.S. State Dept helps place American journalists on Ukraine “hit-list”

The U.S. government has grown increasingly hostile towards Americans who speak the truth. But now they have crossed a major line in this recent attack.

And the U.S. State Dept has helped place American journalists on a Ukraine “hit-list.”

Republicans in Congress have launched an investigation into whether the U.S. State Department played a role in a Ukrainian NGO’s publication of an “Enemies list” that includes prominent GOP lawmakers, activists, and certain conservative news outlets.

The investigation follows concerns raised by Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) in a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday.

The contentious list was published by Anatoly Bondarenko’s Data Journalism Agency (TEXTY) and is part of a study titled, “Rollercoaster: From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it.”

The list names 338 individuals and 76 organizations, including The Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, and Brett Cooper.

Vance and Gaetz, who are also listed in the study, criticized it as “largely an excuse to smear a large group of Americans who have been skeptical of aid to Ukraine.”

They accused the study of being part of a “coordinated media strategy” resembling a U.S.-targeting influence operation.

The lawmakers expressed concerns that U.S. taxpayer dollars might be funding these direct attacks on American citizens based on their political views.

“All Americans can agree that our tax dollars should not be supporting direct attacks on U.S. persons based upon reasonable political disagreement,” the letter from Vance and Gaetz states.

They requested various records from the State Department by June 28 to assess potential violations of U.S. law.

Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), who is running for a Senate seat, drew attention to the issue last week with a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), warning about the “Enemies list” compiled by TEXTY. Banks, who also appears on the list, stated that his office would reach out to others included in the database.

Michael Knowles later shared a letter from Banks, thanking him for “informing me that a U.S. gov’t-affiliated Ukrainian NGO has put me on a hit list.”

Knowles added, “I hope that Congress will heed your advice and stop funding groups that target and endanger American citizens.”

In his letter to Knowles and Shapiro, Banks announced that he had contacted Republican leaders on the House Appropriations Committee, urging them to prevent the State Department and USAID from partnering with any foreign entities that harass Americans.

In a press release on Wednesday, Banks revealed that House Republicans successfully passed a provision to prohibit funding for TEXTY during the full House Appropriations Committee markup of the Fiscal Year 2025 State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs funding bill.

“It’s shameful for our agencies to be using Hoosiers’ tax dollars to collaborate with foreign groups that attempt to intimidate U.S. citizens and lawmakers,” Banks said. “I’d like to thank the Republicans on the Appropriations Committee for defunding any such work with TEXTY.”

The controversy surrounding the list has intensified the debate over U.S. support for Ukraine, especially amid accusations that the Biden administration has not done enough to ensure taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.

The investigation by Vance and Gaetz underscores the broader concerns within the GOP about government overreach and the potential misuse of federal funds for partisan purposes.

Biden’s treasonous immigration policy hit millions with a brutal truth

Joe Biden’s immigration policies are abysmal. But now, things have reached a new level.

Because Biden’s treasonous immigration policy hit millions with a brutal truth.

In a horrifying new move, the Biden administration is advancing a policy that could grant mass amnesty to illegal immigrants who entered the United States under the administration’s “parole” authority if they are married to U.S. citizens.

This policy, known as “parole in place,” is poised to make it easier for these individuals to secure amnesty and become American citizens.

The decision comes despite ongoing concerns about the administration’s handling of the border crisis and the integrity of the nation’s immigration system.

According to CBS News, the new policy aims to streamline the process for illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens to adjust their status without having to leave the country.

Traditionally, these immigrants are required to exit the U.S. and re-enter legally to obtain a green card.

The administration’s use of parole authority has already been unprecedented.

President Biden has employed this authority to facilitate the entry of 30,000 immigrants each month from countries like Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Under U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) guidelines, parole is described as a mechanism that allows an immigrant to be present in the U.S. without being formally admitted for purposes of immigration law.

It is not intended to bypass normal visa processing procedures or replace established refugee processing channels.

Angelo Hernandez Fernandez, a spokesperson for the White House, stated that the administration continues “to explore a series of policy options, and we remain committed to taking action to address our broken immigration system.”

This latest policy shift is expected to benefit approximately 1.1 million illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens.

Many states argue that the Biden administration has overstepped its bounds, using parole in ways that circumvent established immigration laws and procedures.

In defense of the new policy, the administration asserts that it is a necessary step to address the complexities and inefficiencies of the current immigration system.

However, countless Americans contend that this approach undermines the rule of law and incentivizes illegal immigration by providing an easier path to legal status and citizenship.

The Biden administration’s approach to immigration has been a point of contention since day one.

The president has faced criticism from many for a lenient stance on border security and illegal immigration. This latest policy decision is likely to intensify that criticism.

Under President Biden’s tenure, the U.S. has seen record levels of illegal immigration.

The administration’s policies, including the widespread use of parole, have been blamed for exacerbating the border crisis.

Many people point out that by making it easier for illegal immigrants to gain legal status, the administration is encouraging more people to enter the country unlawfully.

Immigration laws exist to protect the sovereignty and security of the nation.

By effectively granting amnesty to potentially millions of illegal immigrants, the Biden administration is disregarding the legal framework designed to ensure that immigration is conducted in a controlled and lawful manner.

As the Biden administration pushes forward with this policy, it is likely to face robust opposition from Republican lawmakers and state officials.

Legal battles are expected to ensue, potentially reaching the Supreme Court.

The outcome of these challenges will have significant implications for the future of U.S. immigration policy.

Trump’s hit Hunter Biden with a reality check that exposed the entire Biden family

The Biden family is doing everything they can to cover for Hunter. But the truth will always prevail.

And now, Trump’s hit Hunter Biden with a reality check that exposed the entire Biden family.

In a landmark decision on Tuesday, Hunter Biden was found guilty on all counts in his federal gun case, marking a significant development in a case that has captivated national attention.

The charges included making false statements while purchasing a firearm, making false statements regarding information kept by federal firearms licensed dealers, and unlawful possession of a firearm.

The conviction is seen by many as a critical moment in the ongoing scrutiny of President Joe Biden’s family.

Shortly after the verdict was handed down, former President Donald Trump, who has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration, released a scathing statement through his campaign.

Trump characterized the trial as a mere “distraction” from what he termed as the “real crimes” allegedly committed by the Biden family.

The former president vowed to put an end to what he calls the “Biden Family Criminal Empire” if re-elected in November.

“This trial has been nothing more than a distraction from the real crimes of the Biden Crime Family, which has raked in tens of millions of dollars from China, Russia, and Ukraine,” wrote Trump campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. “Crooked Joe Biden’s reign over the Biden Family Criminal Empire is all coming to an end on November 5th, and never again will a Biden sell government access for personal profit.”

Trump’s statement reflects a broader sentiment among many Americans who believe that the mainstream media and judicial system have disproportionately focused on Hunter Biden’s lesser offenses while allegedly ignoring more significant corruption involving President Biden and his family.

Hunter Biden, 54, was found guilty of making false statements on a federal background check form when purchasing a firearm.

He falsely claimed he was not using drugs at the time, despite evidence showing he was an unlawful user and addicted to a controlled substance during that period.

The case hinged on Biden’s dishonesty in his declaration while purchasing a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver on October 12, 2018.

“The central issue in this case,” prosecutor Leo Wise stated, “is the evidence has established beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was an unlawful user of and addicted to a controlled substance when he bought the gun on October 12, 2018, during the period when he possessed it from October 12 to October 23, and for more than six months after.”

The conviction of the president’s son is bound to have significant political ramifications. While Hunter Biden’s legal troubles have been a point of contention for years, this verdict brings a new level of scrutiny to the Biden administration.

Many people argue that the focus on Hunter Biden’s gun case is being used to overshadow more serious allegations of corruption and influence-peddling involving the Biden family.

Trump’s campaign has consistently pointed to the Biden family’s alleged financial dealings with foreign entities as evidence of corruption.

The former president’s allies argue that the mainstream media and federal agencies have failed to adequately investigate these claims, focusing instead on lesser issues to distract the public.

“This conviction is a minor sideshow compared to the real issues at hand,” said Trump ally and political strategist Steve Bannon. “The American people deserve to know the full extent of the Biden family’s corruption and how it has compromised our national security.”

Hunter Biden’s conviction marks a critical juncture in the ongoing saga surrounding the Biden family.

While the legal consequences for Hunter Biden are clear, the political fallout is just beginning.

Stunning new Hunter Biden laptop reports reveal major FBI secret

With new reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop being released, more Americans are finding out the truth. And following Hunter’s guilty verdict, more information is being discovered.

But now, stunning new Hunter Biden laptop reports have revealed major FBI secrets.

In a striking display of defiance, not a single one of the 51 former intelligence officials who signed a letter in 2020 suggesting that Hunter Biden’s laptop was likely “Russian disinformation” has retracted their claim, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

This development raises serious questions about the credibility and motivations of these officials, many of whom held high-ranking positions in the intelligence community.

The letter, which played a significant role in shaping public perception during the 2020 presidential election, has now been thoroughly discredited.

It has been revealed that the FBI was in possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop at the time, and it was known to be authentic.

This revelation casts doubt on the motivations behind the letter and suggests a possible coordinated effort to mislead the public for political purposes.

Erika Jensen, an FBI agent and witness in Hunter Biden’s gun trial, confirmed last week that the laptop was genuine and had not been tampered with.

Jensen’s testimony debunked claims that the laptop’s data was hacked or manipulated, or that it was part of a Russian disinformation plot to aid former President Donald Trump’s campaign.

The letter was widely circulated and heavily relied upon by major media outlets and Democratic operatives to discredit the explosive revelations about Hunter Biden’s business dealings found on the laptop.

The New York Post’s Emma-Jo Morris, who initially broke the story, faced significant backlash and censorship from social media platforms, further amplifying the narrative pushed by the former intelligence officials.

CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand amplified the discredited narrative through a story in Politico, which cited the letter signed by the 51 officials.

This narrative was subsequently used by then-presidential candidate Joe Biden during a debate with Trump to dismiss the laptop’s contents as Russian disinformation, reportedly with coordination from current Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Despite overwhelming evidence contradicting their claims, many of the signatories refuse to admit they were wrong.

Former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Fox News that he does not regret signing the letter.

Other signatories, including Ronald Marks, Marc Polymeropoulos, Douglas Wise, Paul Kolbe, John Sipher, Emile Nakhleh, and Gerald O’Shea, maintain that their actions were “patriotic.”

“There continues to be by many a calculated or woefully ignorant interpretation of the October 2020 letter signed by fifty-one former intelligence officials concerning Hunter Biden’s laptop,” their lawyer told Fox News.

He argued that the letter was merely a warning about potential foreign interference, which, while technically true, grossly misrepresented the situation to the American public.

Greg Treverton, former chair of the National Intelligence Council, showed no remorse, stating, “This is very old news. What we said was true, we were inferring from our experience, and it did look like a Russian operation. We didn’t, and couldn’t of course say it was a Russian operation. Enough said.”

Similarly, Russ Travers, former National Counterterrorism Center director, dismissed the scandal, claiming it was “addressed… several years ago.”

Such statements underscore a troubling lack of accountability among those who played pivotal roles in shaping a false narrative that influenced the outcome of a presidential election.

The refusal of these former intelligence officials to acknowledge their mistake undermines public trust in the intelligence community and raises concerns about the politicization of national security.

The Hunter Biden laptop story was not just about the personal failings of a presidential candidate’s son; it was about potential corruption and conflicts of interest that could compromise national security.

The disinformation label effectively suppressed a critical discussion about these issues, shielding Joe Biden from scrutiny during a crucial election period.

As more information comes to light, it is crucial for Americans to remain vigilant and discerning about the sources of their information and the motivations behind them.

Biden goes for broke on ending the Second Amendment

Joe Biden and the Left want to take away Americans’ right to bear arms. And they will stop at nothing until they’ve done just that.

But now, Joe Biden is going for broke on ending the Second Amendment.

President Joe Biden’s administration is poised to launch an unprecedented assault on American gun owners and the lawful firearms industry, as his tenure faces increasing scrutiny from a frustrated electorate.

With wide-open borders, rising crime rates, and soaring costs of living already burdening Americans, Biden’s latest move targets one of the most fiercely defended constitutional rights: the right to bear arms.

In a glaring example of executive overreach, Biden’s Department of Commerce has introduced an interim final rule that threatens to smother American gun companies with onerous regulations.

This rule aims to prevent civilians in other countries from lawfully purchasing American firearms and ammunition, a move that could cripple the domestic firearms industry while advancing Biden’s globalist agenda.

The new rule requires American firearm manufacturers to adopt new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) for tracking their products abroad.

Although U.S.-made firearms are already marked with serial numbers, this additional layer of bureaucracy is purportedly to enhance tracking.

In reality, it increases compliance costs and reduces revenue for American firearm manufacturers without offering any tangible improvement in tracking capabilities. Serial numbers already suffice for identification, making this new requirement redundant and burdensome.

Moreover, the rule will drastically restrict firearm sales to foreign civilians, but not to foreign governments.

This selective restriction reflects a fundamental belief held by the Left: that only those in power should have weapons, not the people they govern.

The hypocrisy is blatant as the administration defends this stance by falsely claiming that civilian-exported firearms are more likely to be diverted to black markets than those sold to foreign militaries and police agencies.

Credible analyses consistently show that government stockpiles and illegal imports are the primary sources of guns used in crimes and terrorism, not legally imported civilian firearms.

Simultaneously, Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has launched a new rule that reclassifies occasional gun sellers as professional dealers, subjecting them to complex and burdensome regulations.

This “Engaged in Business” rule significantly expands the ATF’s control over ordinary gun owners and edges closer to establishing a de facto national gun owner registry.

This rule undermines the fundamental right to self-defense by placing additional legal hurdles for Americans who wish to sell or trade firearms.

The expansive regulations will likely discourage legal firearm transactions, pushing them underground and making it harder for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

When the executive branch proposes such overreaching restrictions without congressional approval, they become subject to the federal rule-making process.

During this process, Americans have the right to submit comments opposing the rule, which federal officials must consider. Although the comment period for the ATF’s business rule has closed, the debate over Biden’s firearm export ban is still open.

The Biden administration’s new regulations on the firearm industry are more than just bureaucratic overreach; they are political maneuvers designed to placate a radical base at the expense of constitutional rights.

By targeting the Second Amendment, President Biden demonstrates his willingness to undermine the American people to advance his political agenda.

Conservative lawmakers and Second Amendment advocates are rallying against these unjust regulations.

Efforts are underway to overturn both the Commerce Department’s export restrictions and the ATF’s expanded definition of gun dealers.

Organizations like Heritage Action are mobilizing Americans to submit comments and support legislative action to protect the Second Amendment.

The Biden administration’s actions reveal a clear disdain for lawful gun owners and a dangerous willingness to undermine the Constitution.

As Americans face increasing economic and social challenges, these additional burdens on gun ownership and the firearms industry threaten to erode one of the nation’s most fundamental freedoms.

It is imperative that citizens, lawmakers, and advocacy groups unite to resist these overreaching regulations and uphold the principles of freedom and self-defense that define the American spirit.

Rumors of Democrats’ decision to replace Biden have shocked the nation

There has been widespread speculation that the Democrats will replace Joe Biden. But new evidence has completely exposed their plans.

And new rumors of the Democrats’ plans to replace Biden have shocked the nation.

As President Joe Biden faces the lowest approval ratings of his term, renowned statistician and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver has proposed that Biden dropping out of the race might be the best course of action for Democrats, just five months before the 2024 election.

This suggestion comes as Biden’s approval rating plummets to an all-time low, raising serious concerns about his viability as a candidate.

According to the latest average of polls by FiveThirtyEight, President Biden’s approval rating has dropped to a mere 37.6%.

This dramatic decline has sparked a conversation about the feasibility of his re-election campaign.

Nate Silver, known for his sharp electoral analysis, took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Monday to voice his opinion on the matter.

“Biden dropping out of the race is worth discussing — even if, at this point, it would be a big risk for Democrats,” Silver wrote.

He acknowledged the significant risk involved but highlighted that continuing Biden’s campaign could pose an even greater threat to Democratic prospects.

“There’s some threshold below which continuing to run is a bigger risk,” Silver added. “Are we there yet? I don’t know. But it’s more than fair to ask.”

Silver elaborated on his concerns, painting a grim picture of Biden’s re-election chances given the current political climate.

“If I’d told you 10 years ago a president would seek re-election at 81 despite a supermajority of Americans having concerns about his age, and then we’d hit 8% inflation for 2 years, you wouldn’t be surprised he was an underdog for re-election. You’d be surprised it was even close!” Silver stated.

The issue of Biden’s age has been a persistent concern among voters, with many questioning his ability to lead effectively given the numerous challenges the country faces.

This concern is compounded by economic issues, such as prolonged high inflation, which have eroded public confidence in the Biden administration.

Silver’s comments drew criticism from some quarters, particularly from those who felt it was inappropriate to question Biden’s candidacy following Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts related to falsifying business records in the New York hush money case. One user on X suggested that Silver should also call for Trump to drop out of the race.

“‘Trump should drop out too!’ is such a weird dunk on people who are pointing out that Biden has big challenges,” Silver retorted. “Yes, Trump should drop out! I agree! Biden would lose by 7 points, but I agree, the Republican Party and the country would be better served by a different nominee.”

Silver has been consistent in his argument that Biden’s decision to seek a second term has hurt the Democratic Party’s chances in 2024.

“What’s clearer IMO is that Democrats would have been better served if Biden had decided a year ago not to seek a second term, which would have allowed them to have some semblance of a primary process and give voters a say among the many popular Democrats across the country,” Silver noted.

In his Silver Bulletin newsletter in February, Silver warned Democrats that Biden was on a trajectory to lose to Trump.

“If you’d asked me a year ago, I would have told you that Joe Biden was a reasonably clear favorite in the event of a rematch against Donald Trump,” he wrote.

However, he pointed out that Biden’s situation had worsened considerably in recent months. “If he were 10 years younger, he might still be a 65/35 favorite,” Silver explained. “But if his campaign is substantially encumbered by his age, he’s probably the underdog.”

The concerns about Biden’s viability are further underscored by recent polling data.

The RealClearPolitics average of polls shows that Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, currently leads Biden in each of the seven battleground states.

This polling advantage for Trump suggests that Biden’s chances of securing a second term are increasingly precarious.

As the 2024 election approaches, the debate over President Biden’s candidacy continues to intensify. Nate Silver’s suggestion that Biden should consider dropping out reflects a broader anxiety within the Democratic Party about the president’s ability to win re-election.

With approval ratings at an all-time low and Trump leading in key states, the Democrats face a daunting challenge.

Alarming new development at U.S. border could not be worse

With Joe Biden doing nothing about our border security, the situation has gotten out of hand. And it seems impossible to come back from this newest attack.

As an alarming new development at the U.S. border could not be worse.

In a stunning development, Swanton Sector Border Patrol agents arrested more than 3,000 migrants in May, marking a new record for the sector that patrols the Canadian border with eastern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

This surge in arrests has brought the fiscal year’s total to over 10,000, setting yet another record for the Swanton Sector.

Unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed that the 3,000 migrant encounters in May represent the largest number for any month in the sector’s history.

This single month’s total even surpasses the annual totals for any fiscal year prior to the Biden administration, highlighting the unprecedented scale of the current border crisis.

Swanton Sector Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia took to social media to share these alarming statistics.

He noted that the total number of apprehensions for the current fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2023, has already exceeded 10,000.

This figure surpasses last year’s record-breaking total of 6,925 migrant arrests, underscoring the ongoing and escalating challenges faced by Border Patrol agents in this sector.

The dramatic rise in migrant apprehensions within the Swanton Sector has been particularly pronounced since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021.

Since then, agents in this sector have arrested over 18,000 migrants, more than the combined total of all prior years dating back to Fiscal Year 2004. This sharp increase is indicative of broader trends at the U.S. borders under the current administration.

Chief Patrol Agent Garcia highlighted that the apprehensions in April alone exceeded the annual totals of FY21 and FY22 combined, further illustrating the surge.

The increase in crossings at the northern border is a concerning development, as it adds to the already overwhelming challenges at the southern border.

The record-breaking numbers in the Swanton Sector are a direct consequence of the Biden administration’s lenient immigration policies.

These policies have created a de facto open border, encouraging illegal crossings and overwhelming Border Patrol resources.

The administration’s approach has been to reverse many of the stringent measures put in place by former President Donald Trump, including the “Remain in Mexico” policy and the construction of the border wall.

Tom Homan, former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has been vocal about the detrimental impact of the Biden administration’s policies.

“What we’re seeing at the border is a crisis of the administration’s own making,” Homan said. “When you signal to the world that our borders are open, you create a pull factor that encourages illegal immigration.”

The surge in migrant crossings has placed an immense strain on Border Patrol resources, particularly in less monitored sectors like Swanton.

Agents are stretched thin, dealing not only with the immediate task of apprehending migrants but also with the long-term consequences of processing and managing these individuals once they are in custody.

The influx has also exposed vulnerabilities in the nation’s border security infrastructure.

Traditionally, the northern border has received less attention and fewer resources compared to the southern border.

However, the recent spike in crossings has made it clear that the northern border is now a significant point of concern.

The unprecedented surge in migrant arrests in the Swanton Sector highlights the ongoing border crisis and the significant challenges facing Border Patrol agents.

With local communities feeling the strain and national security at risk, it is imperative that decisive action be taken to address this escalating crisis.

NYC mayor investigation brought before grand jury and Democrats are terrified

The Left has been doing everything they can to lock up Trump. But now it looks like things have completely backfired on them.

Because the investigation into NYC’s mayor has been brought before a grand jury and Democrats are terrified.

A grand jury has convened to examine evidence in the FBI’s investigation into New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ 2021 campaign fundraising, putting the mayor under intense scrutiny.

Adams responded to the news by telling reporters that he had “no idea” this was happening, expressing his surprise at the development.

Months ago, Adams was en route to Washington, D.C. to urge President Joe Biden to address the border crisis when he had to abruptly return to New York.

The sudden change in plans occurred after he learned that the FBI had raided the home of Brianna Suggs, his top campaign fundraiser, over allegations of illegal foreign contributions from Turkey.

A subpoena has been served to at least one individual connected to Adams. When asked about the grand jury, Adams stated, “I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer. I’m Eric Adams — the mayor! Ex-cop!”

He further added, “They don’t tell me stuff. Let it follow the process … Speak to the counsel. The counsel will explain to you the normal process.”

Although Adams has not been formally accused of any wrongdoing, his campaign has been under federal investigation since allegations surfaced that the Turkish government illegally funneled money into his campaign.

The investigation also seeks to determine whether Adams pressured the FDNY to expedite permits for a new Turkish consulate that had previously failed safety inspections.

The grand jury is reportedly reviewing evidence to potentially issue subpoenas, as per a report by the New York Post.

When the grand jury’s involvement was first reported, a spokesperson for Adams neither confirmed nor denied its participation in the investigation.

“City Hall has said since the beginning that it will cooperate fully with this review — and it has by making individuals available to discuss any details necessary in order to reach a just and timely conclusion,” the spokesperson said.

The investigation has led to federal raids on the homes of multiple associates of Adams.

This includes Cenk Ocal, who worked on the mayor’s transition team and is a former Turkish Airlines executive. Brianna Suggs, Adams’ top campaign fundraiser, also had her home raided and searched.

According to the search warrant, authorities were looking for evidence related to the theft of federal funds, wire fraud, conspiracy to steal federal funds, and wire fraud conspiracy.

The implications of these searches suggest a broad and serious investigation into the financial dealings surrounding Adams’ campaign.

The news of the grand jury and the ongoing investigation have significant political ramifications.

Mayor Adams, who has styled himself as a reformer and crime-fighter, now faces questions about the integrity of his campaign operations and his administration’s transparency.

Many Americans argue that this situation underscores a troubling pattern of corruption and foreign influence in American politics, highlighting the need for stricter campaign finance laws and oversight.

They point to the allegations against Adams as a prime example of how foreign entities might try to sway American elections through illegal contributions.

Mayor Adams has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has emphasized his willingness to cooperate with the investigation.

Legal experts, however, suggest that the presence of a grand jury indicates a serious inquiry that could lead to significant legal challenges for Adams and his associates.

If the grand jury finds sufficient evidence, it could result in indictments and a lengthy legal battle for the mayor and his campaign team.

The convening of a grand jury to investigate Mayor Eric Adams’ 2021 campaign fundraising efforts marks a critical juncture in this high-profile case.

The allegations of illegal foreign contributions from Turkey and the subsequent federal raids have cast a shadow over Adams’ administration and raised serious questions about campaign finance practices.

As the investigation unfolds, the political and legal landscape in New York City could be significantly impacted.

Adams’ response and the eventual outcome of the grand jury’s findings will be closely watched by both his supporters and critics.

New liberal policies have forced thousands of Americans from their jobs and homes

The Left is full of politicians who care nothing about this country or its citizens. And they seem to be doing everything they can to destroy this great nation.

And new liberal policies have forced thousands of Americans from their jobs and homes.

Since the implementation of California Governor Gavin Newsom’s $20 minimum wage law in April, the state’s restaurant industry has been hit hard, with nearly 10,000 jobs being slashed.

Struggling franchises have been forced to cut labor costs and raise prices to survive the costly wage increase, leading to mass layoffs and a significant decline in consumerism.

Tom Manzo, president and founder of the California Business and Industrial Alliance, spoke to Fox News, highlighting the disconnect between state lawmakers and the real-world consequences of their policies.

“California businesses have been under total attack and total assault for years,” Manzo said. “It’s just another law that puts businesses in further jeopardy.”

He revealed that since Governor Newsom signed AB 1287 into law, which took effect on April 1, nearly 10,000 restaurant industry workers have lost their jobs.

A number of well-known restaurants, such as McDonald’s, Burger King, and the iconic In-N-Out Burger, have been forced to raise prices to offset the increased labor costs.

These chains have also had to reduce employee hours and invest in automation technology to keep their operations afloat.

“You can only raise prices so much,” Manzo explained. “And you’re seeing it. People are not going to pay $20 for a Big Mac. It’s not going to happen.”

Manzo also criticized the notion that fast food jobs should be long-term, high-paying careers. “Fast food is a starter industry,” he said. “You get a job as a kid working in a fast food restaurant and you learn some good work ethic and that takes you into life.”

This perspective underscores the traditional view of fast food employment as an entry-level opportunity rather than a career path.

The first major casualty of the new wage regulation was Rubio’s California Grill, renowned for its fish tacos.

Just one month after the law took effect, 48 of its approximately 134 locations were closed due to the state’s “increasing cost of doing business.” On Wednesday, the chain filed for bankruptcy, marking a significant blow to the industry.

Similarly, Fosters Freeze, another fast food chain, closed its Fresno location, citing financial difficulties in meeting the new wage requirements.

These closures reflect a broader trend of financial strain and instability among California’s restaurant businesses.

The economic repercussions of the minimum wage hike are evident in the pricing strategies of major fast food chains.

According to a recent report from Kalinowski Equity Research, Taco Bell raised menu prices by 3 percent, while Starbucks added 50 cents to every menu item since the law took effect.

A Lending Tree survey revealed that 78 percent of consumers now view fast food as “luxury” purchases due to the steep price increases.

This shift in consumer perception has further compounded the industry’s challenges. As prices rise, fewer people are willing to spend on what was once considered an affordable meal option.

The result is a vicious cycle where higher costs lead to reduced demand, which in turn exacerbates financial difficulties for businesses already struggling to cope with the wage hike.

The law’s impact underscores the importance of considering the broader economic context and the potential unintended consequences of such policies.

Governor Newsom and state lawmakers are out of touch with the realities faced by business owners and workers alike.

The fallout from California’s $20 minimum wage law serves as a cautionary tale about the complexities of economic policymaking.

CNN’s recent Trump trial announcement has America stunned

The Left is not backing down from its goal of destroying this great nation. But now, things have taken a major turn.

And CNN’s recent Trump trial announcement has America stunned.

In a remarkable development, CNN’s top legal expert Elie Honig has stated that the criminal charges against former President Donald Trump in Georgia may completely disintegrate following the recent postponement of the case.

Honig, a seasoned Senior Legal Analyst and former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, made these observations after a Georgia appellate court decided to halt the proceedings this week.

“It’s over. Let’s be realistic. It’s not happening before the 2024 election. It’s not happening in 2024. It’s maybe not happening at all,” Honig asserted. His comments highlight the significant legal and procedural hurdles that now loom over the prosecution’s case.

The charges against Trump stem from his alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, a state that played a critical role in President Joe Biden’s victory.

The indictment, brought forth by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, accused Trump and several of his associates of conspiracy and racketeering.

However, the appellate court’s decision to take up the case and halt the district court’s proceedings has cast serious doubt on the future of these charges.

Honig emphasized the unusual nature of the appellate court’s decision to pause the case.

“The appeals court, we can never predict what they’re going to do. But there’s some things we know for sure. Number one, they didn’t have to take this case, the appeal, and they chose to. The other thing is they didn’t have to pause the district court,” he explained.

He further elaborated that the trial court judge had initially planned to continue proceedings while the appeal was underway.

“The trial court judge specified, while you all are doing that, I am going to continue holding proceedings in this trial court,” Honig noted. However, the appellate court overruled this decision, signaling that they are taking the appeal “very seriously.”

If Trump and his co-defendants succeed in their appeal, it could mean the end of the case. “If Trump and the defendants prevail in this appeal, this case is essentially toast,” Honig predicted.

This would not only be a significant legal victory for Trump but also a major blow to the efforts of District Attorney Fani Willis, who has been criticized for her handling of the case.

Honig also pointed out that if the case is dismissed, former Trump officials who have already pled guilty might retract their pleas.

This would add another layer of complexity and embarrassment to the already beleaguered prosecution.

A critical element of the defense’s appeal is the conduct of District Attorney Willis. Honig highlighted that Willis’ comments outside of court have been deemed “legally improper” by Judge Scott McAfee.

“There is a separate issue that Trump and the other defendants are going to raise that I think is a bigger deal, which is Fani Willis’ inappropriate comments about the case outside of court,” Honig said.

Judge McAfee’s recognition of these comments as “legally improper” but his failure to act on them provides a strong argument for the defense.

“The defense is going to argue to the Court of Appeals, if the prosecutor makes, quote, ‘legally improper’ statements that impair the constitutional rights of the defendant, there needs to be a remedy for that,” Honig asserted.

This development comes at a crucial time as Trump seeks to solidify his position for the 2024 presidential election.

The former president has repeatedly described the charges against him as politically motivated, a sentiment echoed by many Americans.

The postponement of Trump’s Georgia trial and the appellate court’s decision to review the case have injected new uncertainty into the legal battles surrounding the former president.

Elie Honig’s analysis underscores the fragile nature of the prosecution’s case and the possibility that it could fall apart entirely.
