There is no end to clown news today. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has joined Biden-Harris in opening our borders and welcoming in millions of anonymous foreigners, said it’s “preposterous” to think it was done deliberately so they could vote. He must think people are awfully stupid. It seems to work for […] The post Mayorkas: “Preposterous” to Say the Law Deliberately Let Illegals In to Vote appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

A reader contacted me after they had experienced, what they believe may have been, a 'Glimmer Man' or a semi-invisible cloaked being while walking a local trail.I received the following account:"Hello. I have been reading your posts describing, what you call, the 'Glimmer Man.' I had a very strange trail encounter with an invisible two-legged large 'thing' while walking with my dog. Some of the trail sections have wooded areas alongside the walking paths. So most of the trail has woods on one side of the path and the park is on the other side of the trail. The wooded area is not very large. I would guess about 300 feet by half a mile. So I don't consider it a forest. I just call it the woods. I'm located in northeast Wisconsin near Sturgeon Bay.The wooded area of the park has 3 or 4 small creeks and I think only one of the creeks has some water. Most of the trees are beautiful and normal tall trees and some of the trees here and there look like they are dead. There are always people and kids going down there to ride bikes, hang out, and whatever else they do.One day around 4pm I took my female dog (Jazz) for our normal everyday walk. We had just gotten out of the car and began our walk. We were probably walking on the trail for about 5 minutes or so when I started feeling weird after a turn. No not scared or afraid. I started to feel happy and my little pain aches had disappeared. This was very strange because I remember saying to myself inside my head, not out loud. I said. "Wow, I feel good, I feel like a little kid. I feel brand new." It was only about 20 seconds of this young and joyful feeling when all of a sudden, something had let go of a large bush that it was holding on to. The thing sounded like it was intertwined in the bush, like holding on and trying to hide.At the same time as the noise in the bush, Jazz turned towards the bush and started going after it. I had Jazz on a leash and she was dragging me almost taking me into the woods. I had to hold her back because I couldn't see what was making all that noise. It moved through another tall bush and started stepping heavy with loud thumps. I think it fell when it made it out of the bush area. The thing was only about 15 feet away from us on the other side of the bushes and sounded like two very large horses stomping on the ground. I could see the bushes and the grass moving but I could not see anything.We moved back away from the trail a few feet so I could see a clearing on the other side of the bushes to try to see this thing. I looked right where the sounds of steps were coming from and saw nothing. So I looked down at the ground and I could see where two feet were stepping on the tall grass. I remember I said to myself, in my head, 'No way, that is not an invisible monster.'After I said that I heard something I will never forget. The thing started making loud T-Rex, stomps. Then I said out loud, "That sounds like T-Rex, from the movies!" I recall I could feel the stomps on the ground. Jazz and I were just looking into the woods at this sound. I could feel my ear drums shaking bad and both ear drums felt like busted speakers. In my head, I said, "It's trying to blow my eardrums!"The T-Rex stomps lasted about 10 or 15 seconds. Then the sound stopped it just turned off like a light switch. I have no idea if it jumped into something or if it vanished. It is strange because after all that I still felt happy with no worry or fear at all. Just very curious. I really wanted to see it.On the way home I remember thinking that other day I would have been afraid and ran away from it. I heard this thing 3 or 4 times in the following days. In another section of woods. I could hear someone heavy walking on leaves just inside the tree line about 30 feet away in the woods alongside me and Jazz. I would hear it and I would stop without turning to it. And it would take a step or two and it would stop. I turned around a few times to see nothing because it wasn't moving. I did this a few times to make sure. I would tell myself, in my head, "If a person stays on the trail they have no permission to take you."I think one time, I heard his steps in the woods next to me. I said to myself in my head, "I think it wants me to make a mistake and go into the woods, towards it" After I thought that I never heard it again. I am sure it can hear what I am thinking.Just a few weeks ago I saw something very strange related to this thing. Jaz and I were walking in the same part of the trail only about 100 feet away from my first encounter where the bushes were. I stop to look into the woods. I was standing still looking past the trees. The area was covered in a few inches of light green grass. I was looking kind of downhill at how the woods go down in and around the creek down there. I said to myself, ''It looks beautiful, the trees, the color of greens, and the sunlight and shadow. It looks like a postcard, perfect." About 2 or 3 seconds after I thought that, while I was just looking down at this area of woods I saw a big human-shaped blur, move between two trees about 80 feet away. I saw it for a split second. It was big. Maybe ten feet tall. Big head, big muscled shoulders and I remember its big left leg. I remember his left knee and the big muscle above it. I could see the thick shiny hair on the leg. Yes, this thing looked exactly like the 'Predator' from the movie when it was cloaked. It is very weird how my brain was able to capture this image. My memory surprised me.Its shoulders, its head, and the side of its back were reflecting the woods between him and me. It looked like a male, not a female. In my opinion, I think it took off running because I thought I was sensing that it was in the area. But I had no idea it was there. I think it knows Jazz, can't pick up on him if he hides a little farther away from the trail.I am very cautious when we go walking near the woods now. I also tell people where I am going. I have no idea why this thing got so close to me or what its intentions were. And I also don't know why it ran away from me those times. Was there something or someone behind me that startled it? These occurrences were a very incredible time of my life. It changed me in a good way. I often think, I don't know, but maybe that's why dogs are on this planet. To help us and pick up on these invisible things when they get too close. Always be happy and do the things you love doing in your life. Have no worries and certainly no fear. I hope my story helps people to be alert and careful out there in this world." C**********TERRIFYING ENCOUNTERS! INTENSE, RAW FEAR! | LIVE Chat | Q & A | Join Us!

A Missouri woman recalls, along with her friend and brother, their encounter with a white, monstrous pig-faced dog that was seen in the woods near their childhood home.I received the following account:"I recently attended my high school reunion and chatted with my old neighbor and best friend Ash. She said 'Do you remember that pig-faced monster we saw?' I looked at her with shock as the horrible memory flooded back. I must have been so terrified I blocked it out but. Oh yes. I remember.We used to live on a secluded dirt road, well, in the middle of a 40-acre plot away from the road. Our property joined a huge state park at the back, 25 miles from the nearest town in Missouri. We were about 16, so around 2003.We were babysitting our younger siblings so it was us and 4 younger ones. Our parents were out for the night. Obviously, we were no strangers to the woods. We knew the whole property well and would even walk the 2 miles between our houses. Free-range kids.So it's way past dark, but we have a pole light by the house. It's summer so it feels great outside. We were all playing tag or hide and seek, running around. I ran around the corner of my house and I saw something white, like a flash, run behind the propane tank, then the well house. Our backyard was clear beside the small well house and propane tank, the woods are probably 150 yards away, so not a lot of places for an animal to hide. Ash saw it too. The kids are still playing and we thought it was a stray dog, even though this thing was crazy fast, way faster than a dog. Up until that point, we had no reason to fear anything in the woods, we don't have large predators. So we're like 'Oh poor dog, let's check it out.' We sprint over around the well house and see a crouched white thing. I remember its hands were long-fingered HANDS. It was matted and dirty and smelled like death. My mind couldn't quite even comprehend its face but it had like a long kinda upturned nose and no hair on its face, like a snarling dog pig. I don't really remember the eyes but I think they were black and yellow, all I know is they looked evil and inspired fear I hadn't known.At that moment we screamed and ran, and the thing dashed off into the woods as I looked over my shoulder. The kids hear us scream and know something is wrong. We scream at them to get in the house and we lock the doors. I couldn't keep my eyes off the back windows, like I didn't want to see it but I had kids to protect so I felt like I needed to know if it was there. We were just scared, pumped with adrenaline, and couldn't even speak about it. We got the kids calmed down and to bed finally, and I talked with Ash and she saw the same thing I did. My parents got home and we broke down freaking out, crying, pointing at the wellhouse. My stepdad even went out there with a gun we were so adamant. They told us it was probably a feral hog and we were just tired or something. We didn't tell anyone at school and never brought it up again.After the reunion I asked my brother who is six years younger than me, if he remembered that night we saw a monster at mom's old house. He said no and I started talking about how I forgot about it until Ash brought it up and about how we saw something run behind the wellhouse. He interrupts me and asks 'Was it white?' I say, 'Yeah.' He asks, 'Did it have a face like a weird dog?' I nod. His eyes get big and he basically starts yelling 'OMG, I saw that thing down the road from there a few years ago!' And freaking out, visible goosebumps on his arms.He says he was driving the dirt road with his girlfriend at the time, hauling ass like always but on the really rocky patches he would hit the brakes and drive slow over the rocks. He saw something in his headlights standing about ten feet from the ditch, so still he thought someone put a weird statue out there, but its eyes followed him and its face was sweaty. It was white but muddy, had a dog face and long-fingered hands, and stood on two legs at least 6 feet tall. Its eyes followed him as he passed it and he looked in the rearview mirror and saw it dash away into the trees. He asked his girlfriend if she saw it and she just nodded. They never spoke of it again and he never told anybody. He said he kind of blocked it out until I brought up the monster at Mom's place.I stopped playing in the woods after that day in 2003 and started doing sports and teenage things. Ash stopped walking to my house and we grew apart. Now my brother and I are creeped out. I need to call my mom."

Two young Gallup, New Mexico women were walking at night to a local store when they encountered and were stalked by an unknown entity. They are later told that it was a skinwalker!I received the following account several years ago:"Hello, Lon. I have read several of your articles about strange things here in New Mexico. I live in Gallup, NM which is surrounded by Native American culture and history. We have many nearby towns and reservations that have been here for a very long time and many of the people claim they are haunted.My experience takes place right in Gallup on the east side of the city near a very small reservation. My best friend visited her sister every weekend. She lived in the low-rental apartments on the east side. Right across from these apartments is an elementary school, the one I actually attended when I was a little girl.During those weekends I would spend the night with my friend at her sister's apartment. When there was absolutely nothing to do and the kids and parents were asleep, we'd go outside to the park located in the middle of the apartments and hang out. One night we became so bored we actually took off walking. I'd say it was about 2 AM. We were used to being up late and were wide awake. We walked behind apartments where there was no light, tons of bushes, and prairie dog holes in the ground.As we were walking, I sensed that someone was staring at us or following us (I am very sensitive, so when I sense someone is looking at me or following me, I'm usually right). I turned around to look and nothing was there. As I turned to look forward, my friend suddenly grabbed my arm and said in a scared whisper, "Oh my god! What was that?" I looked into the darkness and saw nothing. The wind was blowing lightly and there were a few trees ahead of us, so I passed it off as the wind moved the leaves. I told her "It's just the wind, chill out" and kept walking. But as I looked again, I saw what looked like a black figure moving through the trees. I stopped and said, "I think it might be a drunk crashing out back there for the night."Just so I wouldn't scare my friend I kept a calm voice, which was awfully hard for me to do because I was sensing that this thing in the trees wasn't good, I said "Do you want to go back home?" And she said, "No, we're almost to the store, let's just keep going." So as we kept walking we heard movement in the trees. We started walking faster. I heard something behind us and I looked, and it was like a wounded or hurt dog. I wasn't really scared because where I live there's a lot of that. But what I heard next stopped me dead in my tracks and paralyzed me. I heard this "dog" moan and growl at the same time as if it was ready to attack. I literally couldn't move and my friend was trying to distract me saying "Come on! Come on! We gotta run!" Her screams sounded distant as if I had gone deaf or if she was far away. I had made eye contact with this thing and I knew that that was a bad move.I closed my eyes and said a short prayer and, without even thinking, I turned around and ran for my life with my friend close by my side. I tried not to look behind us but something was telling me to look. I glanced behind us and a man was running after us! He wasn't just running, he was running on all fours! I screamed and my friend joined in, only because I scared her when I yelled. We finally got to the road where light and cars were passing. We must have run for about 5 minutes straight and were completely out of breath. I remember our sides were aching and cramping as we stopped to catch our breath. I turned to look behind us and saw the man in the distant darkness running back to where we had come from.We walked a few more minutes until we finally reached the store. The lady behind the counter gave us a weird look and asked us "Are you girls okay?" We replied out of breath "Yes, just a late-night run." I could tell she didn't believe us, so she asked "Did you girls run from the apartments?" I answered "Yeah...why?" and she said "Oooh! Are you girls sure you're okay?" We looked at each other and my friend told her "Well not really, we just had a horrible encounter with something, we don't know what it is or who it was." The lady said "You girls just ran from a skinwalker. Whoever it was always chases someone he catches walking the road at night. You girls are lucky you made it this far!" As if we weren't shaken up already, what she had just told us struck a nerve. I have heard similar tales from my grandmother.We didn't have any money but she offered us a bottle of water and a ride back home. She closed down the store and we got into her pickup. As we passed the bushes and trees where we had previously come from, we both saw something running. The lady told us to ignore it and close our eyes.We finally entered the apartment complex and she asked us "Which is yours?" I pointed in the direction of our apartment. As we were getting out of the pickup she told us "You girls stay home at night now. There's no need for you two young girls to be running around at 2 in the morning. Keep yourselves safe, you hear?" We nodded and said goodbye and thank you.After that night we never left the apartment complex after it turned dark. To this day I am still shaken about what I had experienced that night and I still don't really know what it was that chased us that night."

When confronted by hostile members of the liberal media, J.D. Vance has demonstrated an almost otherwordly ability to keep his cool and make his case cogently. Witness Vance's performance on ABC's This Week. Host Martha Raddatz was attacking Trump, and by extension Vance, over statements Trump had made about apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado being invaded by violent migrant gangs. As Vance began to reply, Raddatz tried to cut him off, saying "I'm going to stop you. The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes." Bad move, Martha! Retorted Vance: "Martha -- do you hear yourself? Only a 'handful' of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem, and not Kamala Harris' open border? . . . You seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs." It was game, set, and match. Raddatz should have cried "no mas" and cut her losses, but made the mistake of trying to score a point in ending the segment: "Let's just end that with they did not invade or take over the city." Vance struck back with some savory sarcasm: "Just a few apartment complexes, no big deal." Think Raddatz would have so blithely dismissed the problem of a "handful" of apartment complexes being invaded by violent migrant gangs if that handful included the complex . . . where she lives? Rhetorical question. In both this segment on Aurora, and the proceeding one regarding problems with getting aid to people affected by Hurricane Helene, Raddatz's approach toward Vance was combative to the point of belligerence. She seemed determined to establish her Kamala street cred -- but wound up with Vance taking her to the rhetorical cleaners.  Here's the transcript. ABC This Week With George Stephanopoulos 10/13/24 9:09 am EDT MARTHA RADDATZ: I want to -- we played some other comments about migrants, including in Aurora, in Colorado, where Trump said the city had been invaded and conquered by Venezuelan gangs. The Republican mayor of the city said flatly, the city and state have not been taken over or invaded or occupied by migrant gangs. So do you support Donald Trump making those claims that the Republican mayor says were grossly exaggerated, and have hurt the city's identity and sense of safety? I understand what you're saying, that some people left behind, but he's making these statements that the mayor is flat out disputing. JD VANCE: Well, Martha, just said the mayor said they were exaggerated. RADDATZ: Grossly exaggerated. VANCE: That means that there's got to be some element of truth here, and of course President Trump was actually in Aurora, Colorado, talking to people on the ground. And what we're hearing, of course, Martha, is that people are terrified by what has happened with some of these Venezuelan gangs. RADDATZ: Senator, I'm going to stop you, because I know exactly what happened. I'm going to stop you. The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes. And the mayor said, our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns. A iihandful of problems. VANCE: Only, Martha -- do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem, and not Kamala Harris' open border?  Americans are so fed up with what's going on, and they have every right to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting, because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs. I worry so much more about that problem than anything else here. We've got to get American communities in a safe space again. And unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions, most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don't know who they really are, you're going to have problems like this. Kamala Harris, 94 executive orders that undid Donald Trump's successful border policies. We knew this stuff would happen. They bragged about opening the border, and now we have the consequences and we're living with it. We can do so much better, but frankly, we're not going to do better, Martha, unless Donald Trump calls this stuff out. I'm glad that he did. RADDATZ: Okay, let's just end that with they did not invade or take over the city as Donald Trump said. I want to move on to -- VANCE: Just a few apartment complexes, no big deal.
