Parents of Michigan Mass Shooter Head to Trial

Oh would you look at that‚ a woman got pregnant. Shocker! Marco identifies as a man but biologically is a woman. According to New York Post‚ Marco underwent a voluntary mastectomy and when she began prepping to get a hysterectomy‚ she found out she was five-months pregnant.  Despite her every effort to convince the world that she’s a he‚ science proved her wrong‚ as it always will. Marco‚ who lives in Italy‚ is now part of a group called “seahorse dads‚” according to New York Post. In actual seahorses‚ males are the ones that carry the fertilized eggs until they hatch‚ so for those who believe that Marco actually is a male‚ this would make sense. But to anyone who knows the truth about Marco’s actual gender‚ obviously "he’s" just a pregnant woman. According to The Times of London‚ upon learning of Marco's pregnancy‚ endocrinologist Dr. Giulia Senofonte insistedthat “the first thing to do is to suspend [hormone] therapy.” Hey‚ at least over in Italy they recognize that a five-month-old baby in utero is something that has value and should be protected. “If the halting of the therapy is not immediate‚ there could be consequences‚ especially in the first trimester of pregnancy‚ which is an important time for the development of the baby’s organs‚” Senofonte said. “It’s difficult to talk about it in abstract terms‚ but it all depends on the timing of the suspension of the dosages of testosterone that the person is taking.” Taking abnormal amounts of testosterone could “constitute a cardiological risk” to the baby‚ The Times of London reported. For those of you wondering whether or not Marco will get an abortion‚ it doesn’t look like she would be allowed to‚ even if she wanted to. “Italian law allows abortion after 90 days only in the case of serious fetal malformations or a significant health risk for the mother‚” The Times of London indicated. So unless a gender dysphoria specialist deems that the “psychological stress” from the pregnancy is “sufficient justification for a therapeutic abortion‚” Marco will soon be the biological mother - but legal father - of her child.  Regardless of how the child got to where it is‚ he or she deserves life. In response to the story‚ people who don’t deny science likes the transgender movement likes to do‚ blasted New York Post for appearing to back the "seahorse dad" theory. A group called “Leftism” tweeted‚ “So... a woman got pregnant. Who could have seen that coming? @nypost standards of journalism have become quite low‚" while LifeNews.com added‚ “So a woman got pregnant.”  Another group brought up an interesting point‚  commenting‚ “Hold on‚ so the woman pretending to be a man was still taking the penis in the vagina and got pregnant? Hmm? Interesting.” Related: Failing to Normalize Moral Degeneracy and Mental Disorders So I guess if Marco wants to be a boy‚ but is actually a girl‚ then he must have gotten pregnant by a boy. So he’s gay? Honestly the mental gymnastics I have to go through to try to understand the situation is painful. One more user wrote something funny too: “A woman had a mastectomy and discovered she’s going to be a mother who has to bottle feed.” The irony.  While the story‚ plainly‚ is just that a woman got pregnant‚ the fact of the matter is that this further proves that these people are completely delusional and that the trans ideology is a mental disorder.  Nothing Marco ever does to her body will make her a male. End of story.

X CEO Linda Yaccarino pretends to be pro-free speech‚ but in a new blog post she openly justifies censorship. Linda Yaccarino was brought from leftist NBCUniversal and the anti-free speech World Economic Forum (WEF) by Elon Musk to be CEO of X (formerly Twitter). In a Jan. 22 blog post‚ Yaccarino claimed “hate speech” is not free speech‚ but without defining “hate speech.” Leftists often apply the term to anything with which they disagree. Furthermore‚ Yaccarino proudly announced that X had censored millions of pieces of content. How does this post fit with Musk’s avowed free speech goals? Yaccarino’s post began well‚ championing “information independence” and defending people’s right to make up their minds based on a free exchange of ideas. She also mentioned censorship as holding back progress. She argued that “freedom of speech” and discussions about it are highly beneficial. The X CEO then clarified‚ however‚ that she exempts undefined “hate speech” and anti-Semitism from free speech protections.  “Twitter has come a long way‚ and there’s been a lot of improvement‚ but it is still not a true free speech zone‚” said MRC Free Speech America VP Dan Schneider. “The antidote to hate speech is not censorship‚ but more free speech. The little lizards in basements will only come out with more vile statements if they’re muzzled‚ but when held to public scrutiny they’re chastised appropriately.” Unfortunately‚ Yaccarino does not seem to hold that same view. “For all the good‚ there’s also a point when information independence crosses a line too‚ and that’s hate speech. We must all act now to combat hate as Elon firmly stated during the European Jewish Association's symposium‚” Yaccarino wrote. “Sadly‚ since the October 7th terrorist attack antisemitism and hate speech have accelerated in the world.” While it is encouraging that Yaccarino and Musk are deeply concerned about anti-Semitism‚ especially in light of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict‚ some anti-Semitic speech is still protected under the Constitution‚ as not being direct calls to violence. Furthermore‚ Yaccarino did not stop with anti-Semitism‚ repeatedly mentioning “hate speech‚” but without defining the term. Yaccarino asserted that “freedom of speech and safety” can exist together‚ but her following boast about the level of censorship still occurring on X makes her claim somewhat questionable. “Last year we removed millions of pieces of content and suspended just as many accounts that violated our Terms of Service‚ including Violent speech and Hateful conduct policy‚” Yaccarino wrote. “Plus we’ve opened more lines of communication with groups dedicated to the safety of communities both in physical and virtual spaces.” While Yaccarino might claim to be pro-free speech‚ this isn’t the first time she has defended censorship. She previously bragged about how X was censoring content to placate advertisers. It is particularly ironic that Yaccarino published this blog post just as her boss Elon Musk condemned a hate speech bill in Ireland that could lead to harsh censorship. Conservatives are under attack. Contact X at 415-222-9670 and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency‚ clarity on “hate speech” and equal footing for conservatives. If you have been censored‚ contact us at the Media Research Center contact form‚ and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

With the liberal media having achieved their dream 2024 match-up with former President Donald Trump all-but set to face off against President Joe Biden‚ the “big three” of ABC‚ CBS‚ and NBC refused to acknowledge the existence of Congressman Dean Phillips (D-MN) as President Biden’s primary challenger and pulled 20 percent in the (unofficial) New Hampshire Democratic primary. It wasn’t surprising at all as Phillips has been an afterthought for much of this campaign in the eyes of the liberal media.     CBS Mornings came the closest to mentioning Phillips with an on-air graphic with the vote tally from the Granite State on the Democratic side with a picture of the congressman‚ the number of votes he received‚ the percentage‚ and just his latest name. This quickly came and went as co-host Nate Burleson setup a puffball piece by chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes on President Biden’s pro-abortion rally Tuesday afternoon in ultra-blue Northern Virginia: I know we haven’t talked about it a lot‚ but there was actually a Democratic primary in New Hampshire yesterday. It wasn’t sanctioned by the National Democratic Party and President Joe Biden wasn’t actually on the ballot‚ but he easily won it as a write-in candidate over other challengers.  [ON-SCREEN GRAPHIC: New Hampshire Democratic Primary; Vote In: 68%; Delegates at Stake: 10; Projected Winner: Biden‚ 66.8%‚ Lead: 37‚970‚ 54‚178; Phillips‚ 20%‚ 16‚208] Biden’s campaign is already turning its attention to the general election[.] Cordes boasted of Team Biden “looking past the primaries” to increase “their attacks on Trump” and especially since his “allies say that Donald Trump is knocking out some of his top GOP rivals more quickly than they expected”. “In Northern Virginia‚ President Biden argued one man is responsible for the full or partial abortion bans that now exist in 21 states‚” Cordes proclaimed going into a soundbite about how the Supreme Court and Trump have “ripped away the rights and freedoms of women in America.” She continued with the White House talking points (click “expand”): CORDES: Even as he spoke‚ his campaign was keeping an eye on events unfolding in New Hampshire. Biden campaign officials saying “Donald Trump has all but locked up the GOP nomination” and labeling Trump’s victory speech‚ “bitter and confused sounding.” TRUMP: They use COVID to cheat and they did a lot of other things‚ too. CORDES: Abortion rights will be a major theme for the Biden-Harris campaign‚ and here is one reason why. Exit polls from New Hampshire last night found that two-thirds of Republican primary voters oppose a national ban on abortion that’s been proposed by some congressional Republicans. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: Extremists are trying to pass a national abortion ban to outlaw — [CROWD BOOING] — to outlaw abortion in every state‚ but what they need to know is that we will not allow it. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] Cordes did‚ however‚ acknowledge the “[p]ro-Palestinian protesters” who “interrupted his speech over and over last night and had to be escorted out” and stated it’s “another issue...likely to dog President Biden”. Later‚ she concluded with another puffy Biden tidbit: “The Biden campaign is also signaling that the GOP presidential primary race is over by selling these new t-shirts with the slogan‚ “Together We Will Defeat Trump Again.’” Over on ABC (which has yet to mention Phillips on its flagship morning or evening news show)‚ Good Morning America co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos played it cool as if we all knew Trump and Biden faced voters: “Decisive night in politics. Donald Trump‚ Joe Biden both scored big in the New Hampshire primary.” This allusion to Biden winning a primary again came up as Stephanopoulos noted to chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl that “[r]elatively‚ Joe Biden did better with Democrats than Donald Trump did with the Republicans.” Karl concurred that Biden did “a lot better‚” “without really campaigning‚ without having his name on the ballot‚” and despite some Granite State voters having crossing party lines to take a Republican ballot to back Nikki Haley to send a mesage to Trump. “[T]his is a phenomenon that could really hurt him in a general election‚ which is you have a significant number of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who simply will not vote for Donald Trump. In a close race‚ that can be decisive‚” he added. Before that exchange‚ ABC’s chief Biden apple polisher Mary Bruce eagerly peddled Team Biden’s spoonfed talking points (click “expand”): STEPHANOPOULOS: Is this truly the candidate that Joe Biden wants? BRUCE: Look‚ the overarching message from the White House and the President's campaign is that Joe Biden beat Donald Trump before and he can beat him again. And this morning‚ the message coming out of the Biden campaign is game on. They are very clearly gearing up for a general election. I mean‚ the President in his statement last night said flatly Donald Trump is going to be the GOP nominee and he said our very democracy is at stake here. And he made a direct appeal to those key independents and Republican voters who don't support Trump to go ahead and join his fight. And‚ George‚ he's changing up his campaign structure. He is now dispatching two of his top white House aides that helped run his 2020 campaign‚ sending them over to help run his re-election. And perhaps the clearest sign yet that he’s changing gears: Biden himself is ramping up his direct attacks on trump. He called him out 14 times in his speech yesterday. The only other mention came thanks to another Stephanopoulos footnote at the top of the second hour about Biden and Trump having “scored big in the New Hampshire primary.” As for NBC’s Today‚ the Biden write-in campaign never came up once.

Morning Joe despises Donald Trump. So yes‚ the show would clearly be delighted to see him humiliated by Nikki Haley in the GOP primary.  On the other hand‚ Morning Joe just as clearly wants Biden to win re-election. So why‚ on today's show‚ were Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski so happy that Haley declared that she is staying in‚ despite losing the New Hampshire primary to Trump? After all‚ the strongest argument that the show made for Haley was that she can beat Biden‚ whereas Trump supposedly can't.  Why would Morning Joe be boosting the Republican who‚ in their opinion‚ has the best chance of beating their boy‚ Biden? Could this be a Br'er Rabbit and the Briar Patch tactic by Morning Joe? Are they boosting Haley because they actually believe that Trump has a better chance of beating Biden‚ and thus would prefer Haley‚ whom they secretly think is the weaker candidate‚ to be the nominee? Doubtful. Polls show Haley doing much better than Trump against Biden. And Morning Joe show reported on the Biden campaign declaring the GOP race over‚ with Trump as the candidate‚ precisely because they believe Trump to be the more beatable candidate. Moreover‚ Mika seemed sincerely passionate in urging Haley to take New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu with her on the primary campaign trail‚ because he is willing to go hammer and tongs against Trump‚ whereas Haley could be reticent to do so. Mika concluded by imploring Haley to "go in 100%" against Trump.  It's a puzzlement. If Haley‚ despite the currently long odds‚ somehow manages to win the Republican nomination‚ it would be fascinating to see how Joe Scarborough would handle things. Would the self-described conservative‚ whose policy positions align much more closely with Haley than with Biden‚ actually support her in the general election? Or would he find a way to weasel out and support Biden? You can bet MSNBC viewers would demand the usual fealty to Democrats. Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe 1/24/24 6:02 am ET JOE SCARBOROUGH: Willie‚ I was glad‚ I was glad to see Nikki Haley stay in last night. There's so many people that have done these halfway measures. They've been weak. They pretty much assigned themselves to be nothing but Donald Trump's lapdogs for the rest of their political career. For Nikki Haley‚ there's only one way through this. There's -- I mean there's light way down there at the end of the tunnel. And the way you do it is‚ you win and you just keep at it‚ you keep going. And maybe you don't win outright‚ but you win a war of attrition. Because this‚ this candidate she's running against‚ Donald Trump‚ more untethered from reality than ever. And let's face it‚ you know‚ it's very sad. I saw it in my parents. Nikki Haley saw it in her parents. It's just‚ you know‚ it's just nature. I mean‚ he's losing -- he's losing more than one or two steps. He gets confused up there. There's no reason why Nikki Haley shouldn't stay in this race‚ and again‚ possibly win a war of attrition‚ and find herself after all of these trials and all of the chaos‚ find herself as the Republican nominee this‚ this summer.  That said‚ Donald Trump is freaking out. MIKA BRZEZINSKI: He's threatening her. SCARBOROUGH: He had a meltdown last night. He threatened her. Again‚ more reason to stay in the race. Cause again‚ he's more detached and more radical than ever.  And also‚ the Biden campaign‚ trying to pretend she's not there. Like‚ they're saying the general election's begun. Forget what happened last night. Don't‚ don't listen to what Nikki Haley does. Why? Well‚ it's very obvious. They want to run against the crazy guy. They don't want to run against -- look at that‚ look at that split screen. Who do you think -- who on this planet other than the extreme MAGAs‚ think that Joe Biden wants to run against the woman on the right? Nobody. Nobody. Republicans know Donald Trump is the only person on that screen that Joe Biden's gonna beat. They know that‚ Willie. That's what makes this so fascinating. Will they be too stupid to vote that way in the upcoming contest? I think they will! . . .  DONALD TRUMP: You have the very‚ the now very unpopular governor of this state [crowd boos]. This guy‚ he's got to be on something. I've never seen anybody with energy. He's like hopscotch. . . .  SCARBOROUGH: Here we have Donald Trump mocking Chris Sununu‚ who made it clear yesterday‚ and has made it clear throughout this campaign he is not a man to be mocked. He's on Fox News yesterday saying that Donald Trump had gotten too old‚ that he was almost 80. And the Fox News host chimed in -- MIKA: [Imitating Fox News host] He's 77. SCARBOROUGH: Yeah‚ said‚ he's 77. To which Chris Sununu said‚ yeah. Almost 80. I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll go over math later‚ and then talked about all of his senior moments.  And by the way‚ they were shouting "geriatric" from the crowd yesterday at Nikki Haley's event. This is what's freaking Donald Trump out. He's being exposed. As just for the record here‚ I'm reading from The Hill‚ despite what Trump claimed that‚ that‚ that Sununu is very unpopular‚ he has a 63% approval rating‚ compared to Donald Trump's 42% approval rating in New Hampshire. And as Chris Sununu said‚ I've never lost an election. You have.  And you think‚ Mika‚ and I agree—she should take Chris Sununu to South Carolina. MIKA: Everywhere she goes. SCARBOROUGH: Everywhere she goes. MIKA: Because I think‚ you know‚ I think everybody has a different kind of point where they feel that they're pushing things too far. I think that Nikki Haley is‚ you know‚ a very strong‚ Southern woman. And‚ you know‚ at the same time‚ there might be some‚ some‚ you know‚ brakes in her brain where she thinks‚ oh‚  I can't go that far.  Chris Sununu is showing her‚ yes you can. When you're speaking the truth about someone who had sex with a porn star and then took the money for his campaign. Let's start right there. Someone who defamed and raped a woman. Let's start right there. Someone who stole documents and admits to it and says they're his‚ let's start right there.  You know foreign policy. Go in there. Go after him. And let's talk about the threat that he poses to our democracy. I think that he can show her that it's actually easy once you push through that.  But Republicans have kind of like these brakes they put on in their brain where they're too afraid to go too close to Donald Trump. At this point‚ if she wants this campaign to continue‚ I don't think she has any other choice but to go in 100% after him.

Staunchly racist and anti-Semitic Sunny Hostin couldn’t find it in her to be happy and congratulate a relatively recent guest getting engaged to the love of his life. Instead‚ on the Wednesday episode of ABC’s The View‚ she decried Senator Tim Scott’s (R-SC) recent engagement to his fiancé Mindy‚ who happened to be white. According to Hostin‚ the whole thing proved he was a puppet controlled by white people. She also claimed the timing was suspicious and was likely just to appease former President Trump in a play to be his vice president. The View lashed out at Scott for appearing with Trump after his victory in the New Hampshire primary. “This is so terrible. But I thought if you get any more up this man's backside. All we'll see is Tim Scott's feet and he'll be wearing Donald Trump‚” moderator Whoopi Goldberg disgustingly screeched. This gave Hostin the opportunity to attack Scott and his engagement. “But I'd like to just talk about Tim Scott for a moment. And how uncomfortable he looked behind Donald Trump and the cringe-worthy moment. He is up his body‚” she chided. As usual‚ Hostin made things racial by suggesting Scott was “in The Sunken Place.”     For those unfamiliar with the term “the Sunken Place‚” it’s a reference to the movie Get Out by writer-director Jordan Peele. As explained by The Wrap‚ in the movie‚ white women seduce black men and bring them to be “kidnapped‚ sold into a form of slavery‚ and lobotomized so that his body can be hijacked by the white person who purchased him.” So‚ with that context‚ Hostin clearly didn’t approve of the engagement. She also criticized the timing of the announcement as just a ploy to get Trump to pick him as vice president: But he's in The Sunken Place. Okay? I mean‚ that's just the bottom line for Tim Scott‚ what's so fascinating is you know he's running for vice president. He endorses Trump on a Friday and then gets engaged on a Saturday‚ and announces his engagement on a Sunday because it's like‚ “Pick me. I'm getting married this year.” And no other vice president has been unmarried‚ right‚ and has been successful so it just screams “I want to be your vice president. I love you.” Hostin has a very long history of making racist attacks on white women and black conservatives. In 2022‚ she said that black Republicans were “oxymoron[s]” she couldn’t “understand.” Later that year‚ she compared white women to “roaches.” She also accused white women of “protect[ing] the patriarchy‚” and thus hurting other women. Late last year‚ when rumors surfaced that he was dating someone‚ Hostin viciously demanded to know who he was seeing. Following a soundbite of Scott talking about his future fiancé‚ Hostin argued that it was “very important” she knew who he was seeing “because of the pillow talk that happens and if she's a lunatic.” The transcript is below.

They are racing to try to be his vice president. (…)

The wife of Kwame Kilpatrick‚ the former mayor of Detroit who was convicted of a slew of federal and state charges and served years behind bars‚ has now bought a lavish home in a wealthy Detroit suburb‚ even as her husband likely still owes more than $1 million in restitution and back taxes.Last Friday‚ the Detroit Metro Times reported that LaTicia Kilpatrick‚ Kwame Kilpatrick's second wife‚ recently purchased an expansive‚ 5‚600 square-foot home for $807‚000 in an upscale neighborhood in Novi‚ Michigan‚ located about 30 miles northeast of Detroit. According to the latest census data‚ the median household income in Novi is more than $110‚000‚ roughly three times the median household income in Detroit‚ which is less than $38‚000.Mrs. Kilpatrick appears to have purchased the home through Pathfinder Consulting Firm‚ a company she owns and that is headquartered in Warren‚ Michigan‚ another Detroit suburb. She took out a mortgage for $645‚600 to make the purchase‚ the Metro Times said.The home has drawn the attention of local and federal prosecutors who claim that Mr. Kilpatrick‚ who was the mayor of Detroit from 2002 to 2008‚ still owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in connection with his 2013 conviction for fraud‚ extortion‚ racketeering conspiracy‚ and tax crimes‚ among other offenses. In January 2021‚ shortly before he left office‚ former President Donald Trump commuted Kilpatrick's 28-year prison sentence‚ and Kilpatrick soon afterward walked out of prison‚ having served just six years and four months. As part of his conviction‚ Kilpatrick was also assessed a bevy of fines‚ and as of last February‚ he had paid only about $5‚000. A letter from a U.S. Attorney's Office dated last month indicated that he owes $164‚584.42 in federal restitution‚ while records in Wayne County showed he owes an additional $854‚062.60 to the city of Detroit‚ Deadline Detroit reported.Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy claimed in a statement on Friday that the city intends to collect.Mr. Kilpatrick currently owes a very substantial amount of restitution to the City of Detroit that he was ordered by the court to pay in his state case. According to court records he has not paid anything since February 2013. It has recently come to our attention that Mr. Kilpatrick has a new job. Now that he has the means to pay‚ we will be taking action so that he will resume the payment of this outstanding debt to the citizens of Detroit.The "new job" to which Ms. Worthy seems to refer is the executive director role Kwame Kilpatrick was given at Taking Action for Good‚ a Memphis-based nonprofit dedicated to reducing the prison sentences of inmates convicted of nonviolent crimes. Kilpatrick and his wife‚ who spent years living in Atlanta and may live there still‚ have also become pastors and started an online ministry called Movemental Ministries. The website for the ministry does not appear to offer an opportunity for online giving.In addition to garnishing any source of income for Kwame‚ feds could also put a lien on LaTicia's beautiful new home‚ argued former assistant U.S. attorney and current criminal defense attorney Anjali Prasad. "This idea that he can be lawfully married and somehow channel money through his wife to purchase a home‚ which under the law would be a marital asset‚ is wishful thinking‚" Prasad told the Metro Times. "It matters not whose name is on the title or mortgage. This is a joint marital asset.""I’m 110% sure that the feds can and will put a lien on that home."Whether the Kilpatricks‚ who have two children together‚ have yet moved into the home is unclear. When the Metro Times knocked on the door‚ a black woman‚ ostensibly not Mrs. Kilpatrick‚ answered and insisted that the Kilpatricks did not live there. However‚ a recent video for the couple's online ministry seems to show Kwame Kilpatrick standing in front of cabinets featured in photos in a previous listing of the home.Apparently‚ the Kilpatricks have had expensive real estate in their sights for some time. In 2022‚ under the pretense of hosting a baby shower after the birth of their son‚ the couple attempted to crowdsource funds to purchase an $800‚000 condo in Florida. When federal agents wanted to seize the assets accrued through that endeavor‚ Kwame Kilpatrick denied doing anything untoward. "If the court wants to take money from our child from a baby shower‚ I don't know how you respond to something like that‚" he said at the time."It all comes down to $1‚600 for baby shower gifts."On Friday‚ Kwame Kilpatrick claimed to Deadline Detroit that he did not owe any money to "the state" because of the terms of his 2008 plea agreement. He later declined to comment on whether he and his wife have moved into the Novi home but said he does hope to live in Detroit again someday.Like Blaze News?

While journalists and pundits are busy debating the fallout from the Republican primary‚ the real battle for the future of America is occurring on the Texas border with Mexico.The Biden administration has enacted a malicious open-borders policy welcoming millions of illegal aliens into the country and facilitating a full-scale invasion. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has attempted to stem the tide by deploying razor wire and authorizing state law enforcement to arrest foreign trespassers. Federal Border Patrol agents have responded by cutting the wire so that an unrestricted flow of completely unvetted migrants can continue to enter the country illegally. Abbott has taken the unprecedented step of expelling the Border Patrol from the region of Eagle Pass‚ where many of these illegal crossings took place. But now the Supreme Court has ordered Texas officials to stand down. The time has come for a leader like Abbott to defy the illegitimate ruling of the court and defend the citizens he has sworn to protect.Democracy is a comically easy system to hack. If the current population does not reliably support the ruling class‚ elites can simply import a new population to dilute the influence of the old. The left has been clear about its intention to transform the United States through immigration and eliminate any support for the political opposition by bringing in a dependent class of low-wage workers. The Biden administration not only welcomes these illegal aliens‚ but it also buses and flies them deep inside the country‚ where they will never be found. There have been at least 8 million illegal aliens encountered at the border since Biden took office‚ which is roughly seven times the population of Montana. Mass immigration brings with it crime‚ disease‚ poverty‚ drug addiction‚ and human trafficking. Even sanctuary cities like New York are finally realizing the incredible cost of open borders‚ as Mayor Eric Adams displaces entire schools full of children to house illegal immigrants and the state legislature commits billions of dollars to subsidize their health care. Democrats are welcoming a wave of illegal immigrants larger than the population of several red states and are seeking ways to turn them into legitimate voters.While the fiscal and social impacts of this invasion are devastating‚ the existential threat posed to the American political process is the most urgent concern. Democrats are welcoming a wave of illegal immigrants larger than the population of several red states and are seeking ways to turn them into legitimate voters. The normalization of mail-in ballots and the rejection of voter identification laws are clear efforts to enable fraudulent voting. But even if that does not work‚ Democrats will have succeeded in transforming the voter base for generations. It is now clear that the immigration problem will not be solved at the federal level. Republicans have paid lip service to border security for decades but have betrayed their voters at every opportunity. Large corporate donors prefer cheap labor‚ and the press can manufacture “children in cages” headlines all day long‚ making it easier to simply turn a blind eye to the devastating impact that the immigration invasion is having on the heartland. If the GOP were an actual opposition party‚ it would take the left’s effort to alter the machinery of democracy more seriously. But the GOP is not an opposition party. Republicans are the outer party‚ the Democrats are the inner party‚ and no one is interested in protecting red America. The truth is that the GOP is embarrassed by its predominantly white supporters and is just as eager as the Democrats to swap them out for a voter base that would meet the approval of the New York Times editorial page.Donald Trump managed to win the presidency on his promise to build the wall and seal the border but came up short after facing resistance from both parties. Immigration numbers under Trump were significantly lower due to tougher enforcement policies‚ but his changes were short-lived. Congress refused to fund the president’s wall‚ even though lawmakers would later find over $100 billion to protect the border of Ukraine‚ and all of Trump’s gains were wiped away as soon as he was forced out of the White House. The uniparty and the entrenched Washington bureaucracy want the border open‚ and it will stay open unless individual states take action.Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett once again have betrayed the conservatives who put them on the court and affirmed the Biden administration’s right to facilitate an invasion. Greg Abbott must defend the citizens of his state and his nation against a hostile regime.The chief justice has made his ruling; now let him enforce it. The governor must defy the Supreme Court’s ruling and continue to protect the border. Democrats refuse to comply with immigration law all the time. There is no reason a Republican governor should follow this malicious order.Make the federal government send agents for the express purpose of opening the border and allowing illegal immigrants in. Have Texas law enforcement meet them at the border and turn the federal agents around as soon as they arrive. The optics would be an absolute disaster for the regime. Force the Biden administration’s hand and set an example for other conservative governors. Defend the nation and exercise the kind of self-government on which the United States was founded.A desperate nation drowning in the financial and social cost of mass illegal immigration is crying out for leadership‚ and Abbott can be the man of the hour. The governor’s defiance of the Supreme Court would be far more important than any piece of legislation or election‚ even the presidential contest. The future of the United States rests entirely on the willingness of one conservative governor to tell the federal government to go pound sand. Gregg Abbott is uniquely positioned to make history and defend his country. I pray he finds the courage to do just that.

FBI Director Christopher Wray waited until February 2023 to speak publicly about the bureau's assessment that COVID-19 "most likely" came from the infamous lab in Wuhan‚ China‚ where the apparent patients zero executed dangerous gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses. According to a new report from Michael Shellenberger's investigative outfit‚ Public‚ the FBI may have known about a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology years prior — as early as March 2020. Multiple sources recently spoke to Public‚ indicating a Chinese national serving as an informant for the FBI in Wuhan revealed to their handler on the bureau's Chinese Intelligence Squad that a "person working at the Virology Institute lab in Wuhan‚ China was infected‚ left the building‚ and spread the virus outside the lab in Wuhan." It's unclear whether this walking biohazard was one of the WIV researchers the Wall Street Journal first reported were hospitalized in November 2019 "with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness" before the outbreak. "It didn't have anything to do with the wet market or the bat soup story they were going with‚" the informant reportedly told the FBI. Public's sources indicated this information would likely have circulated amongst the 25 people in the Chinese Intelligence Squad. Additionally‚ the squad would have taken it seriously‚ granted "the [confidential human source] was from Wuhan‚ had been vetted‚ and the person had provided information on three prior occasions that they were able to corroborate as true and reliable." Another source stressed the lab leak information was regarded as "good intel." The sources who provided these insights asked Public to keep their identities under wraps‚ indicating they are only now speaking out "out of concern over abuses of power within the FBI." This is not the first posthumous blow dealt in recent days to the zoonotic origins theory once advanced by Anthony Fauci and those involved in his seeming cover-up. On Thursday‚ the watchdog group U.S. Right to Know published documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests concerning the controversial 2018 "DEFUSE" grant application submitted by Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. According to USRTK‚ the genome of SARS-CoV-2‚ the virus that causes COVID-19‚ closely resembles the blueprints for the pathogens detailed in the research proposal. The watchdog indicated that the newly published drafts and notes concerning the grant application reveal researchers‚ such as University of North Carolina Prof. Ralph Baric‚ planned on inserting furin cleavage sites at the S1/S2 junction of the spike protein; assembling synthetic viruses in six segments; identifying coronaviruses up to 25% different from SARS; and selecting for receptor binding domains well-suited to infecting human receptors. The proposed furin cleavage site is of special significance because virologists have yet to find it in other related coronaviruses. Many scientists have even expressed doubt that furin cleavage sites are naturally occurring. USRTK previously reported that in January 2020‚ Danish evolutionary biologist and Scripps Research Institute immunology professor Kristian G. Andersen raised the matter of a gain-of-function study that "looked like a how-to manual for building the Wuhan coronavirus in a laboratory." Andersen reportedly directed British evolutionary biologist and virologist Edward Holmes' attention to the "furin cleavage site between the S1 and S2 junctions‚" which had features characteristic of genetic engineering. Holmes responded by saying‚ "F***‚ this is bad." On Jan. 31‚ 2020‚ Andersen wrote to then-Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci‚ saying‚ "You have to look very closely at the genome to see features that are potentially engineered. … I should mention that after discussions earlier today‚ Eddie [Holmes]‚ Bob [Garry]‚ Mike [Farzan]‚ and myself all find the genome to be inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory." Fauci downplayed the lab-leak theory on cable news and at the White House podium. Peter Daszak co-signed a Feb. 19‚ 2020‚ statement in the Lancet deriding suggestions that the virus might have leaked from the WIV as "conspiracy theories." Like Blaze News?

The truth about January 6 continues to be exposed. Over 100 encrypted files relating to the January 6 Capitol riot probe were mysteriously deleted — and have now been recovered and password-protected. The evidence is considered public information by Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia‚ who says it contains interviews and depositions that could prove crucial to making the case against the government. Loudermilk believes that Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney intentionally obstructed the subcommittee by failing to preserve critical information and videos as required by house rules. “Now‚ this isn’t the first time they’ve been accused of this‚ because obviously‚ they did it‚” Sara Gonzales comments. Donald Trump made the same accusation in a January 2024 Truth Social post: “Why did American Disaster Liz Cheney‚ who suffers from TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)‚ and was defeated for Congress by the largest margin for a sitting Congressman or Congresswoman in the history of our Country‚ ILLEGALLY DELETE &; DESTROY most of the evidence‚ and related items‚ from the January 6th Committee of Political Thugs and Misfits‚” Trump wrote. Loudermilk also claimed that the FBI‚ Secret Service‚ and the Department of Defense had intelligence regarding the January 6 attack before it happened. “That’s called a false flag‚” Eric July explains.
