BORDER CRISIS

1 – Alarming number of migrants from ISIS hotbed country have crossed US border under Biden

From the NY Post: The number of migrants flocking to the US-Mexico border from a country known as a hotbed of ISIS recruitment has skyrocketed under President Biden. More than 1,500 migrants from Tajikistan are known to have crossed the border between October 2020 and May 2024, according to leaked border dated obtained by The Post.

At least 500 Tajiks have been caught so far this year. Over the previous 14 years there were just 26 Tajik nationals crossing the border. It’s unknown how many of the Tajik migrants were released into the US, but the vast majority of migrants caught at the border claim asylum and are allowed to stay while they await a court hearing.

The small Central Asian country, which borders both China and Afghanistan, has become a major source of terrorists for ISIS and Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K), an extreme offshoot of the Islamic State militant group.

Updates from the border by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin: “During the overnight hours, we encountered another mass illegal crossing into Jacumba, CA, after midnight, made up of 150-200 adults and families from around the world. Despite the MX military posted up nearby, cartel smugglers still call the shots out here.”

Per internal CBP data obtained via sources, 494 known gotaways were recorded yesterday, and the current 7 day average of gotaways stands at 515 per day.

2 – Biden’s D-3 Amnesty Pulls 100,000+ Illegal Migrants into College Jobs

From Breitbart: President Joe Biden’s pre-election amnesty will use work-visa programs to move 100,000 illegal migrants into the white collar jobs sought by U.S. graduates, according to one of the key organizers of the lobbying campaign.

“These are office jobs for U.S. graduates, but the government is working with [business] to displace [U.S. graduates] from the workforce and significantly lower their wages and quality of life,” noted Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. TechWorkers which opposes the visa-worker programs.

“They shroud it under the banner of social justice, but all they’re doing is displace Americans, lower salaries and lower the quality of life of working Americans,” he added.

REPUBLICANS

3 – Top Republican fed up with party infighting resigns weeks before RNC

Washington Examiner reports: The chairman of the Illinois Republican Party has resigned just weeks ahead of the Republican National Convention due to intra-party fighting. Chairman Don Tracy announced his resignation Wednesday in a shake-up to the party leadership just four weeks ahead of the Republican National Convention in neighboring Wisconsin. He pointed to intra-party fighting as the reason for his resignation.

4 – GOP Rep exposes congressional hush money payments after Trump conviction

In a stunning exchange during a congressional hearing last week, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) pealed back the curtain on the MASSIVE amount of hush money payments that have been shelled out on behalf of people serving in Congress – at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.

“Congress has paid over $17 million in hush money for sexual misconduct inside of the offices of these buildings,” Massie revealed.

DEMOCRATS

5 – Dem staffer goes viral for boasting about Biden canceling his student debt

From Fox News: A House Democratic staff member was ripped for thanking President Biden after his student loan debt was canceled on Wednesday.

Ben Kamens, communications director for Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur, posted on his X account that he had been informed his student loan debt was officially canceled. “Just got a call to let me know my student debt has been canceled. This is why elections matter. Thanks @JoeBiden,” Kamens wrote along with a photo of his notice.

(Kamens has since locked his X account, so the public cannot view his posts, but some social media users saved screenshots of the letter he posted.)

6 – Democrat strategist calls for White House to force media to help Biden

From the Daily Caller: Democratic strategist James Carville in a Thursday podcast episode called for President Joe Biden’s White House to help establish a way to compel the media to help defeat former President Donald Trump.

The New York Times’ executive editor Joe Kahn in May said his publication’s duty is to cover what Americans care about rather than what benefits Biden and hurts Trump, with the president’s close aides reportedly urging officials to criticize the NYT’s coverage since they believe the election is “existential” for the nation. Carville on “Politics War Room” suggested the White House go a step further by telling the media more specifically what to cover and “have some kind of enforcement mechanism” to do so.

7 – Clyburn, who pushed “Russian disinformation hoax,” claims “mainstream media spreading disinformation could hurt Biden”

From Breitbart: On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that he’s worried that the mainstream media repeating “the misinformation, the disinformation, the stuff that’s happened on social media” “rather than explaining exactly what’s happening,” might hurt President Joe Biden’s re-election bid by suppressing turnout among black voters. And Republicans “keep saying these ridiculous things, because they believe that if they get it repeated often enough by the mainstream media, people will be depressed, and then the vote will be suppressed.”

8 – After years of working to silence conservatives, liberal TV hosts claim Trump will cancel their shows, put them in ‘camps’

From the Daily Caller: Joy Behar and Rachel Maddow are afraid that, if he wins in November, Trump will use his power as president to cancel their shows.

“I think that he is so vindictive that he will go after … however he has to, through the IRS maybe, or even through sponsors to get us off the air,” Behar whined to Maddow during Tuesday’s episode of “The View.” The unfounded concerns ignore the fact that, in the four years Trump was president, their shows carried on uninterrupted. Trump didn’t attempt to silence any of his critics through the IRS or advertiser boycotts.

In a CNN interview last week, Maddow claimed, “I’m worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people, and to “root out” what he’s described in subhuman terms as his “enemy from within.” Again, history is helpful here. He’s not joking when he says this stuff, and we’ve seen what happens when people take power proclaiming that kind of agenda.”

“For that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he’s planning are only for migrants? So, yes, I’m worried about me — but only as much as I’m worried about all of us,” she said.

Last week, Democrat socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed Trump might throw her in jail if he win the presidency.

Liberal actress Jane Fonda recently claimed that “if the orange man wins,” he will destroy the climate.

9 – Carville Melts Down Over ‘Giant Fools’ Calling America ‘Republic’ Rather Than ‘Democracy’

From the Daily Caller: Democratic strategist James Carville in a Wednesday video appeared incensed about Americans who call the United States a “republic” rather than a “democracy.”

10 – Dem-Run Cities See Massive Exodus Of Police Officers As Crime Rages On

From the Daily Caller: New York City, Los Angeles, Portland, Austin and Washington, D.C., all run by Democrats, collectively had about 1,500 fewer law enforcement officers on staff in 2023 than they did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a DCNF analysis of the Census Bureau’s 2019 and 2023 Annual Survey of Public Employment and Payroll.

Police departments shrunk in these cities as they failed to reverse the spike in homicide rates coinciding both with the COVID-19 pandemic and with the wave of racial justice movements seeking to reform law enforcement that cropped up following the death of George Floyd.
