Coyotes will deliver perhaps 13,000 foreign children and job-seeking teenagers to the U.S. border in May, according to a leaked report to Axios.com.
But the leak is intended to be a “self-fulfilling prophecy,” said Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday that big tech is “aiding and abetting” China’s mission for “global dominance.”
“China and big tech, they have a cozy relationship,” Blackburn said. “And they have been allowing the Chinese Communist Party to spew all of their information. I can’t find anywhere they’ve been censored or blocked or banned.”
Scalise then moved to introduce into the congressional record an FBI report that analyzed the motivations of the baseball shooter James Hodgkinson and included some of his writings.
Hodgkinson, a 2016 Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer, was also an avid Rachel Maddow and MSNBC fan. Despite the obsession with the network and one of its pundits, Scalise said he does not blame “those other people.”
“I blame the shooter,” Scalise said.
House Energy and Commerce Ranking Member Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA) on Wednesday slammed Democrats for wanting to censor conservative media outlets after they sent a letter to cable, satellite, and streaming companies pressuring them to combat “disinformation.”
“In all my time on this committee, there’s never been a more obvious direct attack on the First Amendment,” McMorris Rodgers in opening remarks at an Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing on Wednesday scheduled by Democrats to address “disinformation and extremism in the media.”
Justice Clarence Thomas has issued a scathing dissent to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to decline to hear the merits of lawsuits challenging the 2020 election in Pennsylvania and by so doing, detailed what he described as the “inexplicable” avoidance of cases with critical implications for future elections.
Yet again, Justice Thomas had the backs of millions of American conservatives as Chief Justice John Roberts inexplicably failed to act on a critical constitutional issue.
"Dozens of migrant teens boarded vans Monday for the trip down a dusty road to a former man camp for oil field workers here, the first migrant child facility opened under the Biden administration," the Post reported on Monday. "The emergency facility — a vestige of the Trump administration that was open for only a month in summer 2019 — is being reactivated to hold up to 700 children ages 13 to 17."
Over the weekend, House Democrats finally released the text of the 600-page bill meant to make Biden’s broad COVID proposals a legislative reality.
Critics and economists have already attacked the proposal on the merits of its main provisions and staggering overall cost, arguing it would break the budget, incentivize unemployment, and fail to stimulate the economy. However, there’s a much simpler objection to this legislative bonanza: it’s full of unrelated pork and political priorities.
Here are 10 crazy examples of waste and partisan kick-backs that have nothing to do with COVID-19 but are in the new bill.
1. $1 Billion for ‘Racial Justice’ for Farmers
Anchor Dana Bash said, “You and the president have suggested that we’ll approach normality towards the end of the year. What does normal mean? Do you think Americans will still be wearing masks, for example, in 2022?”
House Democrats unveiled Friday the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus package they hope to pass by late next week. Included in the bill are $1,400 stimulus checks and numerous other pandemic-related relief measures, like additional funding for state and local governments and more federal unemployment benefits.
The lights are back on for almost all Texans after a disastrous week where millions saw extended power outages when the state's power grid failed to keep up with brutal winter storms.
In a country where everything’s disposable and we’re forever in search of the New Thing, some 25 million of us would have been happy to listen to him for another 30 years, for another 300 years.
As far as those of us who were not able to listen as much as we would have liked…? Well, we always felt better and more secure knowing he was out there — that someone, in the most persuasive way possible, was out there making the case for America remaining America.
There was never anyone like Rush Limbaugh. There will never be anyone like him. The loss to the conservative movement is incalculable.
Never forget the following: that the monsters openly celebrating Rush Limbaugh’s death are not Internet trolls, are not the dregs of social media. No, these are the same mainstream Democrats who want to rule over us.
These wicked and vicious people enjoy verified social media accounts and social status. These godless people who brim with bitterness and hate, who feast off death as some sort of cosmic retribution against us, have been normalized and accepted and embraced by the establishment media, big tech, academia, Hollywood, and the Democrat Party.
Parents across the country have been clamoring for state governments to reopen schools, yet in blue states those calls are largely being ignored, while red states are far more likely to have reopened schools.
One Bay Area writer — and admitted left-wing progressive — is taking her fellow leftists and the Democrats they support to task for playing politics with kids' lives by cowering to teachers' unions and ignoring science in their refusal to get schools open again.
In Los Angeles, teachers have been fighting going back to work for months now — and the cries of parents and students seemingly have been ignored by the bigwigs of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
With as much gas and oil as Texas has — and not to mention its own power grid — why in the world is Texas experiencing such bad power outages?
Alex said he believes the "fundamental" problem is "the insistence on using unreliable wind and solar energy instead of reliable energy from coal, nuclear, and natural gas." And soon, it may not be just Texas, as President Joe Biden pushes for 100% dependency on green energy nationwide. This is the "real lesson of Texas," he warned.
The World Health Organization found signs that the coronavirus appeared in the Chinese population earlier than the Chinese government claimed.
Peter Ben Embarek, WHO’s lead investigator for COVID-19, told CNN that his group has been able to sequence 13 different strains of the coronavirus that were circulating in Wuhan in December 2019. The large number of strains present in Wuhan at the time means that “it is likely that the virus was circulating for a while longer than that month alone,” virologist Edward Holmes of the University of Sydney, Australia, told CNN.
Chinese state media on Sunday gleefully quoted members of the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) defending China from their own colleagues’ allegations that Beijing withheld important source data from investigators researching the origins of the coronavirus in Wuhan.
The Chinese presented their visitors with an analysis of the earliest recorded coronavirus cases but would not allow them to view the raw data. The Chinese claimed some of these records and samples have been destroyed.
The children of a woman who died in a New York nursing home in spring 2020 are demanding justice for their mother after one of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) aides admitted hiding numbers related to the nursing home deaths.
“During an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends,’ 93-year-old Agnes Minisalle’s three children said that the nursing home deaths and subsequent alleged cover-up should not be partisan issues,” Fox News reported Monday.
The Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura spoke with California State Assemblyman Kevin Kiley about the effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The handling of the coronavirus pandemic has added political pressure on Newsom as he faces a potential recall election.
The Recall Gavin 2020 organizers announced on Friday they have reached the 1.5 million signatures required to place the proposal on the ballot.
“It’s not OK to doctor a little bit of evidence,” van der Veen said. “The media has to start telling the right story in this country. The media is trying to divide this country. You are bloodthirsty for ratings, and as such, you’re asking questions now that are already set up with a fact pattern. I can’t believe you would ask me a question indicating that it’s all right just to doctor a little bit of evidence. There’s more stuff that we uncovered that they doctored, to be frank with you, and perhaps that will come out one day.”
Noting that his side had won the case, van der Veen told Zak there should be more that comes out of the trial than just that result.
“Somebody should look at the conduct of these House managers,” he tells Zak.
Meijer, a freshman congressman, joined nine other Republicans in agreeing with Democrats to swiftly pass an article of impeachment in Trump’s final days in office.
If elected, Carone said she would push to eliminate no-reason absentee voting, a right added to the Michigan Constitution by a voter-backed ballot initiative in 2018. Any action by the legislature to amend the constitution must be placed on the ballot for approval by Michigan’s voters.
Efforts to end universal absentee voting would likely face steep opposition. More voters embraced the option in last year’s elections, in part due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In the years since Donald Trump upended American politics by destroying the planned coronation of Hillary Clinton to the presidency, Democrats have been revealing themselves almost daily as the most bitter and spiteful politicians in the country’s history since the last time their party tried to destroy it in the 1860s.
If this is the kind of unity Democrats are pushing now, they are going to be in for a real surprise when they find out 75 million Americans aren’t buying it.
Construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border has stopped under President Joe Biden’s order issued Jan. 20, the day of his inauguration.
The Daily Signal traveled to a portion of the southern border Jan. 28 and 29 with nine House Republicans, including Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus.
The congressional delegation visited stretches along the border wall in Nogales as well as in Cochise County, Arizona, where construction of the wall not only has ended but equipment sits unused.
Here are seven things I saw while representing The Daily Signal on the trip.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) criticized President Biden on Tuesday, questioning why the U.S. is requiring international travelers to undergo a coronavirus test and wield negative results but allowing illegal aliens at the U.S.-Mexico border to enter the country without testing.
“Can’t fly into USA w/o showing negative test for virus but Pres Biden will let ppl who illegally walked across the border do so w/o testing,” the 87-year-old lawmaker said. “Is that protecting our citizens?”:
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, sent a letter to President Joe Biden on Tuesday asking him to reconsider his decision to cancel the permit for the highly lucrative Keystone XL Pipeline.
“Ongoing development of responsible energy infrastructure supports your ‘Build Back Better’ priorities by keeping Americans working while strengthening North American economic and energy security,”Manchin wrote in a letter obtained by CBS News reporter Cara Korte.
The Moral Equivalent of Jimmy Carter
Evidently, Joe Biden has bigger plans to reshape America than we realized. Remember when he said that if he’s elected, “Nothing would fundamentally change”? Well, that was in June 2019, pre-election.
Gates, however, has been known to exhibit secretive behavior in the past. The billionaire is now the country’s largest private owner of farmland, and nobody seems to know why.
According to The Land Report, which tracks statistics on major property ownership, Gates and his wife, Melinda, over the years have quietly purchased over 242,000 acres of farmland, and an additional 27,000 acres of non-farmland, across nine states.
Some of his projects have strained credulity, including one his foundation is currently helping to fund that is exploring the possibility of dimming the sun's impact on Earth by putting particles in the stratosphere.
