Three illegal aliens who were released into the United States under the Biden-Harris administration have been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a child in Florida. The three illegal aliens from Honduras, Selvin Lopez Lopez, Erick Lopez Lopez, and Jesersson Lopez Lopez, were arrested by Florida’s Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and charged with capital sexual battery against a child under the age of 12 years old. Selvin and Erick entered the United States in 2021 under the Biden-Harris administration and surrendered themselves to Border Patrol before being released into the country and asked to appear for a court hearing. Neither of the two illegal migrants appeared for their court hearings. Jesserson entered the United States from the southern border in 2023 and was told to appear in court in 2028. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office stated that the three “were arrested for numerous counts of Lewd Lascivious Behavior (Capital Sexual Battery) on a minor under 12 years of age” before adding that “it is believed this despicable behavior took place between August 2024 to the present.” The three are now being held at the Palm Beach County Jail without bond. The Biden-Harris administration has presided over a record-breaking surge in illegal immigration, propelling the topic to one of the most important issues for voters as the presidential election draws near. More than 10 million people have crossed the border under the Biden-Harris administration, with an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded since Biden was inaugurated in 2021. There were a total of 415,000 reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020 during the Trump administration. Recent polling has found that a majority of voters do not believe that Vice President and Democratic candidate for president Kamala Harris has “clearly explained” her policy stances concerning illegal immigration. The arrests of the illegal migrants in Palm Beach come just weeks after Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations arrested four illegal aliens on the wealthy island of Nantucket. All four of the men are alleged to have committed sex crimes, with two of the men allegedly assaulting children. Concerns about illegal immigrant crime accelerated after a series of violent crimes believed to be committed by illegal aliens claimed the lives of American citizens. Georgia nursing student Laken Riley was allegedly killed by Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, on February 22, 2024, just months before 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was allegedly murdered by two illegal immigrants who were also from Venezuela. Nungaray’s alleged killers entered the United States during the Biden-Harris administration. Rachel Morin, a young mother of five children was allegedly raped, strangled, and murdered in Maryland by an illegal alien from El Salvador.

Vice President Kamala Harris signaled during an interview on Tuesday that she was open to spending taxpayer money on racial reparations, which studies show would cost trillions of dollars. “It has to be studied. There’s no question about that,” Harris said when asked about reparations, which numerous estimates pin well into the trillions of dollars. “And I’ve been very clear about that position.” Harris made the remarks during a radio interview with Charlamagne tha God where she fielded questions about her agenda. She quickly pivoted to the rest of her economic agenda, uttering her common refrain that she “grew up in the middle class.” WATCH: Vice President Kamala Harris says she’s open to using taxpayer’s money to pay racial reparations: “It has to be studied, there’s no question about that.” She adds: “In terms of my immediate plan … as it relates to the economy … I grew up in the middle class” pic.twitter.com/HPjdHSgB29 — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October 15, 2024 Harris said during her failed presidential campaign in 2019 that she supported “some form” of reparations, and voted in support of reparations legislation in Congress. She has not taken a position on the issue since joining the presidential ticket with Joe Biden in 2020. Harris’ remarks come as recent polling, including from CNN this week, has found that Trump is in position to have more support from the black community, including from black women, than any Republican since 1960.

But Trump’s doing historically well with Black women too pic.twitter.com/FyUqqDKLjE — (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) October 14, 2024 It is unclear who would be eligible for reparations, leading many like Harris to call for the issue to be studied further. A report from the Free Beacon in 2019 said that Harris was the descendant of an Irishman who owned a slave plantation in Jamaica, according to a summary of the family’s ancestry posted by her father. “My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town),” wrote Harris’ father, Marxist economist Donald Harris. The report said that Jamaican records showed Hamilton Brown “owned scores of slaves,” the majority of whom was taken from Africa.

The Nov. 5 presidential election could be won or lost in Pennsylvania, and a recent Cygnal poll in the state’s key communities shows that Donald Trump may be in the driver’s seat.  In a poll released Oct. 3, Cygnal surveyed 420 likely general election voters in Pennsylvania’s two “bellwether counties,” Erie and Northampton. The poll, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points, found:  Trump, the Republican, narrowly led Erie and Northampton counties over Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat. When voters were asked who they would vote for, 48.3% said Harris and 49.1% said Trump. (Another 2.7% of voters said they were undecided.  When asked about the choice if Harris had chosen Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate, voters chose Harris by a little over 1%, with roughly 4% undecided.  A poll released Oct. 8 by the Commonwealth Foundation, a Pennsylvania-based think tank, found that over half of 800 registered voters surveyed said their economic concerns are worsening. In addition, 57 out of every 100 surveyed said the state “has gotten off on the wrong track.”  Among the Commonwealth Foundation’s key findings among Pennsylvanian voters:  Voters chose Harris over Trump by 50% to 46%, with 4% undecided.   Fully 46% of voters said the Republican Party’s economic policies are better for the economy, compared with 44% who said the Democratic Party’s economic policies are better.  This, however, is within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.  Over half of voters said they disapprove of the job performance of Harris’ boss, President Joe Biden.  78% of voters said they are concerned about the future availability of affordable energy in the U.S.  81% of Democrats said Harris would do a better job of protecting fracking, while 89% of Republicans said Trump would do better.  Pennsylvania voters appeared to be most concerned about bread-and-butter issues such as the economy and the country’s future, according to the Commonwealth Foundation.  In a press release, Commonwealth Foundation Senior Vice President Erik Telford said candidates in Pennsylvania need to define themselves as ready to take on financial and economic insecurity.  “Candidates and elected officials must remain aware of the economic and financial pressures on individuals and families,” Telford said. “Policies that make things worse or threaten their financial futures will get little support. Policies that grow our economy and promote financial security, such as promoting energy development, are clear winners.”  Pennsylvania went for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020. In his 2016 contest against Hillary Clinton, Trump won the crucial swing state by 0.7% of the vote.  The number of registered Democrats in Pennsylvania has declined by 4.3% since 2016. In contrast, the state has seen a 2.4% increase in registered Republicans as Trump seeks to reclaim the White House.  “With one month left until Election Day, it’s clear two factors will dominate these races,” the Commonwealth Foundation’s Telford said. “First, how candidates speak to voters’ economic concerns. Second, and perhaps more importantly, turnout will play a decisive factor, especially among independent voters.”  The post Pennsylvania Polls Show Trump Could Win This Battleground  appeared first on The Daily Signal.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The Biden-Harris administration is warning Israel that if it does not improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, it will risk losing military aid, according to multiple reports. The Palestinians in Gaza have been caught in the crossfire in the war between Israel and Hamas, the latter of which invaded Israel on Oct. 7 and killed approximately 1,200 people. Though the U.S. has been largely supportive of Israel’s efforts to destroy Hamas, it has become seriously concerned with the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and it seems the Biden-Harris administration may be reaching a breaking point with the Israeli government over military aid, according to several reports. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in a letter on Sunday that if Israel does not allow a steady flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza within the next 30 days, the Biden-Harris administration may withhold military assistance, reports reveal. Specifically, Israel must ensure that hundreds of aid trucks enter Gaza per day, stop implementing certain evacuation orders and withdraw Israeli forces from nonoperational parts of the enclave. “Failure to demonstrate a sustained commitment to implementing and maintaining these measures may have implications for U.S. policy under NSM-20 and relevant U.S. law,” Blinken and Austin told Dermer and Gallant, according to a copy of the letter obtained by reporter Barak Ravid. NSM-20 (National Security Memorandum 20) refers to U.S. regulations outlining the conditions under which military aid can be transferred to other allies. ?????Secretary of State Blinken & Secretary of Defense Austin sent a letter on Monday to Israel demanding it takes steps within 30 days to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza in order to avoid consequences in U.S. law for U.S. milirary aid to Israel. See letter here: pic.twitter.com/N9DDMqsL7u— Barak Ravid (@BarakRavid) October 15, 2024 The Israeli government had agreed in April it would meet the United States’ desired terms to ensure aid delivery into Gaza, according to multiple reports. But the Biden-Harris administration thinks Israel has thus far failed to meet these terms, Blinken and Austin told Dermer and Gallant. The United Nations has alleged that Israel has on occasion seemingly stonewalled the delivery of some aid into Gaza over the past year, which is urgently needed by the Palestinian people amid the ongoing conflict. Israel maintains that it is taking considerable measures to ensure aid delivery into the enclave and has no intentions of causing “starvation,” according to multiple reports. The U.S.-Israeli relationship is a decades-long alliance, but that relationship has at times become tense, especially during the latter years of the Biden-Harris administration. The Biden-Harris administration has urged caution in Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas and at a number of points tried to broker a ceasefire agreement, but those efforts have largely failed, as neither Israel nor Hamas seem interested at the current stage. Israel’s war against Hamas has evolved as other bad actors in the region, including Hezbollah, Iran, and Iraq- and Syria-based terrorist networks, have attacked the country since October 2023. Israel is currently eroding Hezbollah’s capabilities in Lebanon and is expected to launch a significant strike against Iran in the near future. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Harris Praises Oil Companies She Pledged to Prosecute

Axios’s Alex Thompson – one of the few establishment media journalists who’s been doing real journalism on the Biden-Harris administration – uncorked a doozy late Monday revealing further tension in the regime’s ranks as sources told him “Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been blocking national security spokesperson John Kirby from joining her at the podium at White House press briefings.” Noting the two have long feuded (which he’s covered before), Thompson noted “Kirby has been mostly absent” from briefings even as Middle East tensions have continued to rachet up and his entire job is, in essence, to serve as the regime spokesman on foreign policy matters. Thompson even brought the statistics to back this up and cited “the departure this summer of Anita Dunn, the White House’s top communications aide” as the point of divergence. Of the briefings since she left July 30, Kirby has only been there 15 percent of the time versus 55 percent in the 2024 briefings prior. The White House unsurprisingly trotted out regime keyboard warrior Andrew Bates to claim there’s no there and had another source (perhaps Bates too, but again…anonymous!) that Kirby fading from view was planned “closer to the election,” but Thompson’s case was damning. “Since Dunn left, Jean-Pierre has pushed back each time Kirby has suggested appearing at the briefing, a person familiar with the process told Axios,” Thompson said, adding any time they were “at odds,” the two had the White House chief of staff decide for them like they’re kindergartners. Thompson explained “Jean-Pierre has long privately fumed about Kirby's role” – which one could reasonably translate to she’s jealous of Kirby’s rapport with the room and command of the Biden-Harris regime’s talkers on foreign policy – and felt his “presence gave the impression she needed a chaperone” even though Biden himself was reportedly behind his frequent appearances. Jean-Pierre even got so frustrated, Thompson revealed, she “vented to” the White House chief of staff, who “previously deferred to Dunn — who helped craft the dual-spokesperson arrangement at the president's direction.” Between Jean-Pierre’s promotion to senior adviser and Dunn’s departure to a Kamala Harris PAC, Jean-Pierre has felt like she can put the boot to Kirby. As for Kirby’s misgivings, Thompson reiterated past reporting that he was frustrated at her refusing to let him pick which reporters to call on (even though he would refer to them by the first names, indicating they’re not strangers). With the Middle East even closer to dangerous new heights, Thompson cited other “current and former White House officials” as having been “frustrated” with Jean-Pierre because they argue “he'd be helpful to have at the podium during this tenuous time in foreign affairs.”

Click to Skip Ahead Why Dogs Growl While Getting Pets What to Do Understanding Their Meanings Dogs growl in a variety of situations to express their emotions. They might growl when resource-guarding their favorite toy, while playing a lively game of tug-of-war with you, when warning another dog to back down, and even when you pet them. We can understand why they growl when protecting something and when issuing a warning that they’ll get aggressive, but why growl when they’re enjoying something such as being petted by their favorite human? Read on to find seven potential reasons your dog is growling while getting petted and what you need to do to address this behavior. The 7 Reasons a Dog Growls While Getting Pets 1. They’re Enjoying Themselves Dogs will vocalize in many different ways when they’re enjoying themselves. So, while most people associate growling with aggression, it can be quite the opposite. Image Credit: leungchopan, Shutterstock 2. They Feel Threatened A deep, rumbling growl typically occurs when dogs feel threatened or possessive. It can often be a sign that you’re encroaching on their personal space. This kind of growl often isn’t meant to be aggressive, but instead, it’s intended as a polite warning to show that your pup is uncomfortable. Many different situations can cause your pup to feel threatened. For example, a new person or pet in the home can put your dog on the defense. If you approach them for pets while they’re feeling threatened, they may not be growling at you but at the situation at hand. 3. They’re Nervous or Afraid If your dog is a bit skittish, they may not know how to react when you give them pets. While it might appear as if your dog is open to getting petted, you may be misinterpreting their body language as such. They might actually be asking for space, not for physical touch. This is especially true if your pup has been poorly socialized or has been in an abusive situation in the past. They may not know what to expect when you approach them to give them a stroke. Other signs of nervousness or fear include: Cowering Panting Withdrawal Hiding Irritability Aggression Tail tucked low Ears back Image Credit: Yta23, Shutterstock 4. They Don’t Like It It is a common misconception that every dog enjoys getting belly rubs, pats on the head, and pets on their body. Not all dogs enjoy physical touch, and your pup’s growling may be their way of telling you to back off. 5. They’re Overstimulated Dogs can get overstimulated just like humans, so if your pup seems to enjoy getting pets for the first few seconds and then growls afterward, it could just be that they’ve had enough. Image Credit: Bonsales, Shutterstock 6. They’re in Pain In some cases, the dog may suffer from a health issue that makes petting painful. For example, ear infections and head pain can be exacerbated by petting. Pups in pain will typically exhibit other signs, including: Snapping Avoidance behaviors Yelping Shaking Whining Loss of appetite 7. They’re Surprised If your pup was happily snoozing away and you woke them up for pets, they might growl at you simply out of surprise. Some dogs will naturally react to being startled by growls. It’s essential to give your pet a warning sign that you’re approaching and not suddenly touching them when they least expect it. Image Credit: Anna Hoychuk, Shutterstock What to Do if Your Dog Growls It can be unsettling for a dog owner to be greeted with growls whenever they try to pet their dog. However, there are some things you can do if your pup has made it a habit to vocalize whenever you try to touch them. 1. Identify the Cause Your first job is to identify the cause of your dog’s growling. Remember, they’re growling in the first place because they’re trying to communicate something to you. Consider what your dog was doing before you started petting them. Did you interrupt them in the middle of something? Another thing to examine is whether your pup exhibits any other signs that could indicate pain, discomfort, or anxiety. If this may be the case then it’s advisable to book your dog in for a checkover with your vet to rule out any medical issues that need addressing. Image Credit: Prostock-studio, Shutterstock 2. Remain Calm The last thing you want to do when your dog growls at you is react strongly or, even worse, punish them. If you react negatively toward them, you’ll only inhibit the growling, potentially exacerbating the underlying issue without having addressed it at all. 3. Eliminate the Trigger Once you’ve identified the trigger for the growling, it’s essential to do what you can to remove it from your dog’s life. 4. Redirection Finally, redirection is vital to teaching your dog more desirable behaviors. If your dog’s growling is caused by fear or anxiety, you may be able to move your dog away from the situation and redirect their attention by providing them with a toy or activity they enjoy. Take them on a walk or play fetch. We also recommend interrupting the growling using a neutral noise, such as a finger snap or quick whistle. The noise you choose mustn’t be loud or startling, but instead just loud enough to grab your pup’s attention. Image Credit: bogubogu, Shutterstock 5. Get Help If your vet has ruled out medical issues but you’re overwhelmed and not sure where to start to address your dog’s growling, a professional trainer or canine behaviorist will be worth the cost. Choose a trainer who utilizes positive reinforcement, not one who endorses punitive training techniques. How Can I Know What My Dog’s Growls Mean? If dogs use their growls to express different emotions, how can an owner know precisely what their pup’s vocalizations are trying to tell them? One of the best ways to gauge your pup’s mood is by examining their body language. If your dog gives you a submissive grin or playful bows while growling, it is likely that they’re just in a goofy mood and ready to play. If they are very stiff or staring hard while growling, you need to back off. The tone of a growl can help decipher their mood, too. Loud growls with a higher pitch may mean something completely different than one that’s softer and lower pitched. Final Thoughts A dog’s growls can mean many different things, so to know what your pup is trying to tell you, you need to familiarize yourself with your dog’s vocalizations and body language cues. A dog that’s growling while you’re petting them could be trying to tell you a myriad of things like they’re happy, nervous, afraid, unhappy, overstimulated, or in pain. By using the context clues your pup is giving you, you should be able to tell what emotion is guiding their growling.
