Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is reportedly urging Republicans in the Senate to vote against a border bill that was unveiled in the Democrat-controlled chamber on Monday. House critics of the bill have warned that the $118 billion package is geared toward getting President Joe Biden re-elected in a prospective 2020 rematch against former President Donald Trump while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said that the bill “legalizes illegal immigration.” Numerous Republican senators have already come out and voiced strong opposition the bill‚ leading McConnell to urge the remaining Republicans senators to block the bill. “McConnell recommended to GOP senators behind closed doors that they BLOCK the border bill on Wednesday‚ per multiple sources‚ bc it’s clear that most Republicans are preparing to vote no — either because they oppose the bill or want more time‚” reporter Andrew Desiderio wrote on X. “McConnell explicitly recommended a NO vote on cloture on the motion to proceed‚ according to several attendees‚” he continued. “McConnell said the problem isn’t what Lankford negotiated‚ it’s that the political mood in the country has changed.” Top House Republicans signaled shortly after the bill was unveiled that it would be dead on arrival if it made it to the lower chamber. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)‚ Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA)‚ Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN)‚ and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) killed the bill in a joint statement. “House Republicans oppose the Senate immigration bill because it fails in every policy area needed to secure our border and would actually incentivize more illegal immigration‚” the statement said. “Among its many flaws‚ the bill expands work authorizations for illegal aliens while failing to include critical asylum reforms. Even worse‚ its language allowing illegals to be ‘released from physical custody’ would effectively endorse the Biden ‘catch and release’ policy.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The so-called ‘shutdown’ authority in the bill is anything but‚ riddled with loopholes that grant far too much discretionary authority to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas – who has proven he will exploit every measure possible‚ in defiance of the law‚ to keep the border open‚” the statement continued. “The bill also fails to adequately stop the President’s abuse of parole authority and provides for taxpayer funds to fly and house illegal immigrants in hotels through the FEMA Shelter and Services Program.” “America’s sovereignty is at stake‚” the statement concluded. “Any consideration of this Senate bill in its current form is a waste of time. It is DEAD on arrival in the House. We encourage the U.S. Senate to reject it.”

The Islamic Republic of Iran now has enough weapons grade uranium to produce a nuclear weapon within a week‚ according to a new report. The Institute for Science and International Security said that the threat level with respect to Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon had entered into its “extreme danger” rating‚ the first time the threat level has ever gone that high‚ according to a report obtained by the Free Beacon. The report said that the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program has “increased dramatically” since May 2023‚ in part due to the series of events that have unfolded in the wake of the Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack on Israel. “The volatile situation in the region is providing Iran with a unique opportunity and increased internal justification for building nuclear weapons while the United States and Israel’s resources to detect and deter Iran from succeeding are stretched thin‚” the report said. “The ongoing conflicts are leading to the neglect of the Iranian nuclear threat at a time when Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities have never been greater.” The threat is even higher as Iran goes to greater and greater lengths to conceal its nuclear program‚ including building an underground facility that it hopes will be deep enough that America’s conventional bunker buster bombs won’t be able to destroy it. The most alarming area of concern that the report identified was the nuclear breakout time for Iran‚ which refers to the amount of time that it would take the country to develop a nuclear weapon given its current capabilities. “If Iran wanted to further enrich its 60 percent enriched uranium up to 90 percent weapon-grade uranium (WGU)‚ used in Iran’s known nuclear weapons designs from the Amad Plan‚ it could do so quickly‚” the report said. “It can break out and produce enough weapon-grade enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon in a week‚ using only a fraction of its 60 percent enriched uranium. This breakout could be difficult for inspectors to detect promptly‚ if Iran took steps to delay inspectors’ access.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Using its remaining stock of 60 percent enriched uranium and its stock of near 20 percent enriched uranium‚ it could have in total enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in one month‚ and after five months of producing weapon-grade uranium‚ it could have enough for twelve‚” the report added. Rebeccah Heinrichs‚ senior fellow at Hudson Institute and the director of its Keystone Defense Initiative‚ highlighted how notion the Obama-Biden Iran nuclear was supposed to “moderate” the Iranians was a farce. “Instead it flushed it with cash and Iran invested in its terrorism missions and its military‚” she said. “Now it’s exporting weapons across the world‚ driving the proxy attacks against US forces‚ and advancing its nuclear program. Biden’s attempts to resurrect the disastrous deal and placate the Iran regime by waiving sanctions has resulted in a more capable‚ violent‚ and defiant regime.” The news comes as the Biden administraiton launched what critics have said were weak retaliatory strikes late last week against Iranian-backed terrorists in Syria and Iraq‚ which were responsible for killing three U.S. soldiers late last month in a drone attack on a U.S. base in Jordan. U.S. forces have been attacked approximately 170 times since mid-October. The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) said in its most recent analysis of U.S. relations with Iran that the situation was “trending very negative.” In its assessment‚ FDD analysts wrote as it relates to Iran’s nuclear weapons program: “Despite a late December 2023 report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) warning that Iran had dramatically accelerated its production of high-enriched uranium‚ the United States did not request an emergency IAEA board meeting to hold Iran accountable.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ripped the Senate’s proposed border bill during an interview on Monday night‚ saying that it would “actually further incentivize illegal immigration.” Johnson’s remarks come after the unveiling of the bill sparked widespread backlash from top Republicans across the country‚ including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis‚ former President Donald Trump‚ House Republican leadership‚ and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. “It would not resolve any of the problems‚ not reform in any meaningful way the broken asylum system‚ the broken parole process‚ and all the things that have created this catastrophe‚” Johnson told Fox News host Laura Ingraham. “And‚ by the way‚ meanwhile‚ it further empowers the very Cabinet secretary who designed and created this mess.” “They don’t follow federal law‚” he continued. “Why would we do this anyway? But the bill itself would actually do more harm than good‚ and that’s why we have said it’s a nonstarter over here in the House.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP WATCH: This immigration bill is dead on arrival in the House.⁰⁰We will not pass immigration legislation that further incentivizes illegal immigration‚ does not reform asylum and parole in a meaningful way‚ and empowers President Biden and his cabinet‚ the architects of this… pic.twitter.com/IbD1KAQSOZ — Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson) February 6‚ 2024

We all have a history. The moments that make up our lives form together to create a story that is intertwined with the stories of others. Although some of us might think that people in history have no connection to our personal lives today‚ the people who have gone before us do affect us.
