Former President Donald Trump slammed the Senate’s bipartisan border bill on Monday‚ calling it a “trap” set by Democrats for Republicans. Senators released the final version of a long-awaited border bill on Sunday afternoon. The bill will likely face a full Senate vote soon‚ but it is unclear whether it will pass‚ especially as it continues to bleed Republican support. “Only a fool‚ or a Radical Left Democrat‚ would vote for this horrendous Border Bill‚ which only gives Shutdown Authority after 5000 Encounters a day‚ when we already have the right to CLOSE THE BORDER NOW‚ which must be done‚” Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday morning. “This Bill is a great gift to the Democrats‚ and a Death Wish for The Republican Party‚” Trump continued. “It takes the HORRIBLE JOB the Democrats have done on Immigration and the Border‚ absolves them‚ and puts it all squarely on the shoulders of Republicans. Don’t be STUPID!!!” The former president said Republicans need a separate border bill that is not “tied to foreign aid in any way‚ shape‚ or form‚” saying Democrats “broke Immigration and the Border. They should fix it.” Trump posted again later Monday morning‚ saying the “ridiculous” border bill is “nothing more than a highly sophisticated trap for Republicans to assume the blame on what the Radical Left Democrats have done to our Border‚ just in time for our most important EVER Election. Don’t fall for it!!!” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the bill will have its first procedural vote on the floor on Wednesday. However‚ some Republicans have already said they will not support it. The $118 billion deal would tighten asylum requirements‚ shut down the southern border if immigrant encounters hit certain levels‚ and send billions of dollars to not only the border but Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and Taiwan. The bill faces an uphill battle in the Senate‚ with several conservative senators already casting doubt on whether they will support it. “This is an open-borders bill if I’ve ever seen one. The Democrats are celebrating already‚” Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said on X. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said she will “never vote to make illegal immigration legal‚ and I will not support this deal.” The two top Republicans in the House both said the bill is a non-starter in the lower chamber. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the bill is “dead on arrival” in the House and called it “even worse than we expected.” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) also slammed the bill‚ vowing it will not receive a vote in the House and calling it “a magnet for more illegal immigration.”

The Biden administration is in a bind: Americans do not trust them on immigration. The reason Americans do not trust them on immigration is because they’ve basically declared they are in favor of open borders. In an NBC poll‚ Joe Biden is currently polling at a 37% approval rating. That is not a good reelect rating. That same NBC poll has him losing to Donald Trump by five points‚ 47 to 42. And it has Republicans ahead on the generic ballot by four points right now. These are very bad numbers for Biden. The American people don’t trust him on immigration‚ and they also think he has the unilateral ability to actually stop the massive wave of illegal immigration we have been seeing. He does. And they believe correctly that the Biden administration has made an overt decision they wish the border to remain open. So when Biden protests and he says he doesn’t actually have the capacity to shut the border‚ no one believes him‚ especially when Alejandro Mayorkas‚ the head of the Department of Homeland Security‚ is suggesting we need more migrants in the United States. He actually said this during an interview with the New York Times:  Wouldn’t it be more orderly‚ and wouldn’t it be responsible governance to be able to deliver a lawful pathway to fill what we have‚ which is a labor need and cut the exploitative smugglers out and give the individuals a path to arrive lawfully safely in an orderly way to perform labor that we need? They can send remittances home. They can return home when their work is done. Isn’t that an element of a workable immigration system?  When he was asked if he would like to expand legal pathways in order to relieve some of the pressure on the southern border where people come in illegally‚ he answered yes. Do more migration‚ says Alejandro Mayorkas. He doesn’t really care whether it’s legal or illegal. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show The game the Democrats are playing is a game of trying to get Republicans to take ownership of the open border by crafting a “bipartisan immigration bill” so when things continue to fall apart‚ they can say Republicans helped craft the bill — and it’s their fault. Yet Democrat Rep. Robert Menendez of New Jersey admits that support for mass deportations has now doubled. A new CNN poll reveals that 31% of Americans support prioritizing mass deportations of all people living in this country illegally. That’s up from 15% in 2019. Menendez blamed Republicans‚ saying:  People see the situation at the border and they’re responding to the Republican narrative around what’s happening at the border. Listen‚ there’s a global migration challenge between global climate change‚ between failed governments in our hemisphere. There’s a challenge that we have to address at the root cause and also how it’s appearing at our border.  But when you look at what Republicans talk about‚ when you talk about a mass invasion‚ like you hear Texas Republicans talking about‚ when you talk about things like replacement theory‚ these are things that have gained hold in our electorate because that’s what Republicans are talking about.  Because they think it’s‚ if they can come up with a conspiracy theory that’s dangerous enough‚ that Americans will trust them. So when you see the rise in support for mass deportations‚ it’s in response to a dangerous Republican narrative.  The dangerous Republican narrative? That’s the problem? Not the gigantic wave of illegal immigration? CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP Perhaps the funniest media moment of the last 72 hours was CNN talking to experts on immigration‚ specifically about the fact some of the illegal immigrants who beat up cops last week would commit crimes in New York‚ then go to Florida and spend the money‚ then come back to New York. The CNN anchors asked why the immigrants would come back to New York? Why didn’t they just stay in Florida? The illegal immigration expert‚ John Miller‚ chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst for CNN‚ admitted the illegal immigrants come back to New York because in Florida‚ they go to jail‚ and they won’t be deported if they are in New York. Biden is bucking the law as it currently stands. He has an affirmative obligation as president of the United States to enforce border law. He is not doing it. Passing more laws is not going to change that fact. It’s simply going to make everyone politically complicit in whatever Biden does with the border.

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro definitely got everyone’s attention on Monday when he announced his retirement from the rap game after dominating the charts for more than a week. The host of “The Ben Shapiro Show” collaborated on the music video “Facts” with Canadian wrestler-turned-rapper Tom MacDonald in a song that takes a swipe at the insanity of things in our culture like gender identity and defunding the police. It ended up rocketing up the charts. quickly becoming the number one song in the country and topping the hip-hop/rap category on the iTunes charts. As of Sunday‚ “Facts” remained the top song in the U.S. “BREAKING. ‘FACTS’ by [Tom MacDonald]] (ft. me) has now finally dropped from the top slot on iTunes‚ after 10 days of pure magic‚” Shapiro wrote on X. BREAKING “FACTS” by @IAMTOMMACDONALD (ft. me) has now finally dropped from the top slot on iTunes‚ after 10 days of pure magic. Rap Hannukah is over. And so‚ with tears in my eyes‚ I have another announcement to make. To all the little homies‚ who have been lifting me up… pic.twitter.com/7TpPLwtDo5 — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 5‚ 2024 “Rap Hannukah is over‚” he added. “And so‚ with tears in my eyes‚ I have another announcement to make. To all the little homies‚ who have been lifting me up since I began this journey.” “It was an inspiring moment‚” Shapiro continued. “A musical supernova. But now the time has come for me to walk away from my art. And so today‚ I announce that I am retiring from rap to spend more time with my family.  It’s been real‚ dawgs.  And never forget: the music never dies so long as the beat is in your heart.” Shapiro and MacDonald blew up the music industry after topping the charts with their rap collaboration.  The music video dropped on the morning of Jan. 26 and by mid-day‚ “Facts” was generating headlines‚ not only for topping the hip-hop/rap chart‚ beating out the likes of Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion‚ but because it soon became the number one song in the country on the iTunes chart. At the time of this piece‚ the music video has been viewed more than 13 million times on YouTube and is still #3 top trending song on the site. On Feb. 1‚ Shapiro shared a screenshot that showed his rap collab was in the top spot on iTunes music and wrote‚ “Day 7 of Rap Hannukah. The flame is still lit. Buy now at …Billboard #1‚ we are coming for you.” In a press release from MacDonald after their rap dropped Shapiro said‚ “As a longtime devotee of rap‚ becoming a rapper was the natural next step in my career trajectory. So‚ when Tom asked if I wanted to collaborate on a song‚ I leapt at the chance.” “This was the moment I spent 20 years of classical violin training preparing for‚” he added. “For those who don’t appreciate my artistic stylings‚ all I can say is that they didn’t appreciate Bach properly in his own time‚ either.”

President Joe Biden is once again going viral for a gaffe in which he claimed to have met with a long-dead leader of France shortly after taking office in the White House as commander in chief. While delivering remarks in Las Vegas on Sunday‚ ahead of the Nevada primary this week‚ Biden hearkened back to a G-7 meeting in the United Kingdom and a gathering of NATO leaders that took place in June of 2021 in which a conversation about the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6 apparently came up. “I sat down and I said‚ ‘America’s back’ and Mitterrand from Germany — I mean from France looked at me and said‚ ‘You know why — how long you back for?'” Biden recalled‚ invoking François Mitterrand‚ the former president of France‚ according to a widely shared post to X by National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam along with a clip of the remarks. WATCH: Joe Biden says he recently met with “Mitterand from Germany.” Mitterand was the FRENCH President between 1981 and 1995. He also died in 1996. pic.twitter.com/W0YPBDp69n — Raheem. (@RaheemKassam) February 5‚ 2024 A glaring issue with that recollection is that Mitterrand‚ who served as president of France from 1981 to 1995‚ has been dead since 1996 —roughly 25 years earlier. At the time of the G-7 meeting in 2021‚ Emmanuel Macron was president of France. And it’s not the first time Biden has suggested that he interacted with Mitterrand at the same meeting. Biden told a similar version of the story‚ including the same Mitterrand blunder‚ in 2022. In both cases‚ the White House transcripts of Biden’s remarks showed Mitterrand’s name crossed out and replaced with Macron. Biden is well known for making gaffes over the years‚ but those concerns have risen of late as he seeks a second term in the White House‚ fueled by the president’s age‚ his tendency to lose his train of thought while speaking‚ and moments caught on camera where he has tripped or fallen over. Biden has earned himself negative press with faulty stories he’s told‚ including repeating an exaggerated house fire experience. A national poll from NBC News that was published in June of last year found growing anxiety concerning Biden‘s fitness to serve‚ as more than two-thirds of registered voters — 68% — said they have moderate to major concerns about him “not having the necessary mental and physical health” to be president. Nikki Haley‚ who is 52 and running for the GOP presidential nomination‚ began her campaign last February by pushing for mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old. In an appeal to voters who are dreading a potential 2020 rematch between former President Donald Trump‚ who is now 77‚ and Biden‚ who is now 81‚ Haley has taken to calling them “grumpy old men.”

Emily Willis‚ a porn star with millions of followers on social media‚ is reportedly in critical condition after being rushed to the hospital from an apparent overdose. TMZ reported that‚ according to law enforcement sources‚ Willis was transported to a hospital in Thousand Oaks‚ California‚ on Sunday after first responders received a call about a suspected overdose. “We’re told the report came in for an unresponsive 25-year-old … whom we’ve confirmed is Emily‚” TMZ reported. “Emily was actually transported from a well-known celeb rehab location in Malibu … where she appears to have been receiving treatment for addiction.” The report said that she was in the critical care unit at the hospital. Willis has over 4 million followers across her various social media channels. This is a developing news story; refresh the page for updates. 

Major scientific studies on the potential harm of abortion pills were retracted on Monday by their publisher‚ just weeks before the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the availability of such drugs. Three studies‚ including two on the potential harms of the abortion pill just‚ were retracted on Monday by Sage Publishing‚ an independent academic publishing company. The retraction notice states that an independent review of the studies was conducted due to a single reader’s complaint that the studies included misleading data and that the authors were affiliated with a pro-life organization‚ the Charlotte Lozier Institute‚ presenting a conflict of interest.  The authors of the studies say the retractions are a politically-motivated effort to discredit research that was cited in U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s April 2023 decision to suspend approval of mifepristone‚ the drug used in roughly half of all abortions in the United States. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in March on the legality of restricting the abortion pill based on Kacsmaryk’s ruling‚ proceedings that will certainly be impacted by the retractions.  Dr. James Studnicki‚ a listed author on all three studies in question‚ told The Daily Wire that the retractions were “completely unjustified” and that the retractions were meant to discredit scientific research that challenged the pro-abortion bias engrained in academia.  Studnicki‚ who trained at Johns Hopkins University and has spent decades conducting scientific research‚ said that he and his fellow researchers were targeted “because of the visibility of our work‚ because of the fact that our work was having such an influence on the discussion about abortion that was occurring in the states and in the courts at the highest levels.” One of the now-retracted studies‚ published November 9‚ 2021‚ found that the rate of emergency room visits following chemical abortions had spiked 500% from 2002-2015‚ according to Medicaid claims data. Another one of the studies‚ published May 20‚ 2022‚ analyzed the likelihood of recurring emergency room visits for women who did not disclose to doctors that they had a chemical abortion. These two studies were cited in Kacsmaryk’s decision to suspend FDA approval of mifepristone. Additionally‚ the testimony of Dr. Ingrid Skop‚ who was an author on all three of the articles‚ was cited multiple times in an August decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals where the court said that chemical abortion drug mifepristone should not be distributed through the mail or prescribed via telemedicine.  Studnicki added that the retractions were emblematic of the politicization of science‚ pointing to stances on transgender and climate issues widely held by the academic establishment. He said that proponents of abortion were deeply threatened by the overturning of Roe v. Wade and were now pushing to banish any research suggesting dangers with abortion out of the academy.  “I think Dobbs really accelerated this‚ I think there’s a sense of desperation among those in the abortion industry‚” he told The Daily Wire ahead of the retraction‚ which was expected. “They’ve always had the literature to themselves. All of the major health associations are pro-abortion‚ most of the journals are pro-abortion‚ all the academic departments in the universities are pro-abortion.”  In previous correspondence with the authors‚ Sage pushed back against allegations of political bias‚ saying that issues identified in the articles were based on independent review by “subject experts” and methodological issues with the articles. Sage declined to comment on the retraction‚ but directed The Daily Wire to an explanation of its decision. No issues were raised with any of the studies until April 2023‚ the same month of Kacsmaryk’s decision‚ when pharmaceutical sciences professor and abortion supporter Chris Adkins complained to Sage about the article claiming that the study showing an increase in rate of emergency room visits was full of “dishonest science” and “grossly misleading.” The researchers were not informed of any issues with the articles until June 28‚ 2023‚ when they were informed of the complaint from the reader. They responded to the concerns on July 13‚ and an expression of concern was placed on the article dated July 25.  After months of back and forth with the journal‚ on November 13‚ Sage told the researchers that they would be retracting the three studies. The next day‚ Studnicki was kicked off the editorial board of the Health Services Research and Managerial Epidemiology journal‚ months before the retractions actually took place.  “In light of the decision to retract three research articles where you are an author‚ I believe that your term as an editorial board member must now come to an end. As the Editor‚ I appreciated your contributions to the journal‚” Dr. Gregory Garrison wrote to Studnicki in an email viewed by The Daily Wire.  This message came after Garrison had previously highlighted Studnicki’s research in question in an editorial for Sage in March 2022.   On November 16‚ the researchers sent a letter to Sage requesting more time to respond to the retraction notice‚ saying that the retractions were “procedurally improper” and suggesting that the real reason for the retractions was to undermine their research ahead of the Supreme Court’s consideration of mifepristone.  “Your decision also reflects a regrettable pattern of using scientific publications as a sword against unpopular findings—regardless of their objectivity. This further undermines the public’s confidence in scientific bodies and does a disservice to your mission to ‘advance knowledge‚’” the letter from the authors said.  Days after missing the initial retraction deadline‚ Sage responded on November 21 to the researchers giving them until November 29 to respond and denying any suggestion that the retractions were politically motivated. “Sage rejects as spurious your insinuation that the timing of the Retraction Notice was in anyway related to a Supreme Court case‚” Sage wrote in a letter viewed by The Daily Wire. “The retraction of the three articles is solely based on the results of the investigation‚ which was completed in good faith and which Sage had a responsibility to undertake as a COPE [Committee on Publication Ethics] member and to fulfill its responsibility as publisher of the journal. Sage’s primary goal and obligation is‚ as it has been for over 50 years‚ to maintain the highest integrity of the academic publishing process. Any suggestion that politics enters into this mission is without basis and is highly insulting.” Sage claimed that one of the reasons for the retractions was that the researchers did not disclose conflicts of interests. The journal claimed that they were deceived by the CLI researchers and that they did not disclose “blatant conflicts.” Studnicki‚ however‚ said that they had made clear that their work was funded by the Charlotte Lozier Institute and that they had detailed numerous times their affiliations. The institute is the research arm of the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America group. Both articles cited by Kacsmaryk state at the bottom‚ “This work was supported by the Charlotte Lozier Institute.” Tessa Longbon‚ another author on the studies‚ said that Sage was demonstrating a double-standard with the conflict of interests claim‚ pointing to numerous studies published with Sage Journals where authors affiliated with pro-abortion groups did not disclose conflicts of interests.  For example‚ in one article published by Sage advocating for mifepristone access‚ no competing interests were declared despite the fact that the lead author is an abortion proponent and the other authors were members of an academic center that promotes abortion. No conflict of interests were declared in another article from Sage Journals written by a researcher with the openly pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute.  In its letter to the researchers‚ Sage said that the assertion that they hold pro-life and pro-abortion authors to a different standard was “baseless and needlessly provocative.” The researchers responded by again pointing out the apparent double standard. “[If] Sage now purports to have always required ideological disclosures‚ Sage itself has not maintained that standard it seeks now to impose on us‚” the authors said. “Despite Sage’s dismissal of this point as ‘unsupported‚’ a cursory search clearly demonstrates that Sage journals have published dozens of articles on abortion access and safety by researchers affiliated with organizations with very public and open positions on abortion.” Another issue that Sage took with the studies‚ according to its correspondence with the authors‚ was that a reviewer on the article was affiliated with the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Studnicki‚ however‚ said that SAGE selects reviewers and the articles went through a double -blind process‚ meaning that the authors did know who was reviewing the article and the reviewers did not know whose work they were reviewing.  “We did not select the reviewer at issue‚ and the reviewer’s identity is still unknown to us. In fact‚ this reviewer may not have been a CLI associate scholar at the time of his/her review. Likewise‚ because Sage practices double-blind peer review‚ the reviewer was equally unaware of our identities when evaluating our work‚” the researchers told Sage. Sage took issue with some of the methodological decisions made by Studnicki and other researchers. It criticized the November 2021 study because it used emergency room visits to measure complications from abortions. Using Medicaid data‚ the researchers had tracked emergency room visits for women who had confirmed abortions within 30 days of the visit. The researchers broke down the visits into categories‚ including abortion related visits. Some critics said an adverse reaction to an abortion should only be counted if the visit involves surgery or hospitalization‚ but Studnicki disagrees.  ”I think that if a woman has an abortion and she starts to bleed or she starts to have serious pain or she sees some sort of discharge that is indicative of an infection‚ she goes to an emergency room‚ I think that is a serious adverse event and a complication‚” he said.  Studnicki said that none of the issues raised by Sage invalidate the research. He said the concerns are just a matter of researchers deciding to measure things in different ways‚ and not a matter of faulty data.  Despite the retractions‚ Studnicki said that he and his fellow researchers will continue to produce quality work‚ saying that it was a badge of honor to be targeted by pro-abortion advocates “This is the greatest testimony to the strength of our science that one could possibly hope for. We are doing all the right things. We intend to continue to do the right things‚ but it’s probably going to be harder to get things published because they are trying to tarnish our reputation‚” he said.
