MISSION, Texas — Children as young as 5 are sent across the Rio Grande in a raft by themselves with nothing but the clothes on their back and a phone number, sometimes scrawled across their stomachs. If they make it past the churning, green waters, they hike up steep embankments, dodge rattlesnakes in the brush and say one thing when they eventually encounter a law enforcement officer: “Me voy a los Estados Unidos” or “I’m going to the United States.” Hidalgo County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office, which patrols popular migrant crossing points in the brush behind Anzalduas Park in Mission, Texa, sees this on a daily basis amid a

A moderate California Democrat and member of the shrinking “Blue Dog Coalition” has broken with his party and is expressing concerns over a review by the House Administration Committee of a very close Iowa election won by a GOP candidate and certified by state officials. Rep. Lou Correa, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, has said he wants to “look at the facts” regarding Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ six-vote win in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District, though a majority of his party is supportive of the panel’s investigation. Correa’s concerns center on “what motivates Congress to look at something that should be a state issue,” CNN reported on Thursday.
RIO GRANDE VALLEY, Texas — He’s putting people over his party.The Democratic mayor of a southern border town says he’s incensed over the Biden administration’s handling of the immigration crisis in his backyard — and he’s “pleading” with Washington to do more to stem the stream of migrants pouring into his small city. “You have a breach on national security levels that have never before been seen in modern history and you’re not even batting an eye about it, you’re not even calling it a ‘crisis‘, you’re calling it a quote unquote challenge,” Mayor Bruno Lozano, a Democrat who represents Del Rio, Texas, told the

A Department of Justice prosecutor believes that former President Donald Trump could be charged for his alleged role in the Capitol riots. The DOJ federal prosecutor, Michael Sherwin, made the bombshell assertion on 60 Minutes on Sunday.“Has the role of former President Trump been part of your investigation?” Pelley asked. (Tweet/Video) “It’s unequivocal that Trump was the magnet that brought the people to D.C. on the 6th,” replied Sherwin, making a spurious argument.So does that mean that Trump is “criminally culpable for everything that happened during the siege, during the breach?” Pelley asked.
President Joe Biden told reporters Sunday he would visit the Southern border “at some point,” appearing unwilling to commit to the idea soon.“At some point, I will, yes,” Biden replied when a reporter asked if he would visit the border.Biden spoke to reporters as he returned from his weekend trip to Camp David.When asked if he would visit some of the detention facilities for migrants personally, Biden replied, “I know what’s going on in those facilities.”One reporter asked Biden why his message urging migrants not to come from the United States was not working.Biden said he and his administration were working to

Julia Letlow won the Louisiana election yesterday for the replacement seat for her late husband. The Republican beat a number of candidates to win the seat. It was reported in December that her husband had died from COVID but then it was later corrected and reported that he died from a heart attack after a procedure: (Photo)
Former President Donald Trump will be back on social media in the near future with his own service, according to one of his senior advisers.Trump was banned from Twitter following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. He had been a prolific poster on that platform before and during his presidency."I do think that we’re going to see President Trump returning to social media in probably about two or three months here, with his own platform," Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Fox News' "#MediaBuzz" on Sunday. "And this is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media, it’s going to completely redefine the game, and everybody
The pause on construction of the border wall costs taxpayers about six million dollars per day while construction sites sit idle, Breitbart Texas learned from a senior Department of Homeland Security official. On Sunday, March 21, the 60-day pause in construction of the border wall is scheduled to end.
According to the source, the expenditures are required for materials orders placed before the pause and expenses for the cost of equipment sitting idle. When the issuance of a stop work order causes a contractor to idle equipment, they are entitled to be compensated for rental expenses or costs of ownership.
Videos of Joe Biden appearing dazed and confused aren’t exactly rare these days, but this latest example is fairly stark. He’s clearly not mentally well and has a hard time performing the basic duties of the office (including have much of any real interaction with the press).Here’s the video in which Biden looks like he forgets where he’s at and/or what he’s supposed to be doing.(Tweet/Video) At the beginning, he seems to be greeting people in his typical robotic fashion but then tries to just wander off.

A women’s magazine that tends to approach issues from a more conservative, common-sense stance accidentally embraced some liberal thinking this week. Whoops!In an almost-ratioed tweet posted Saturday, Evie Magazine called for normalizing the slapping of men “when they’ve crossed the line,” whatever that means.Look at the tweet below: (Tweet) What in the name of liberal feminists was THAT!?The tweet provoked a spate of angry replies from incensed men. Look: (Tweets) The problem, besides Evie Magazine’s promotion of violence, is that there is no shared definition of what it means to cross the line.When now-deceased former President George H.W. Bush, then 90 years old and wheelchair-bound,
Iran has made threats against Fort McNair, an Army base in the nation’s capital, and against the Army’s vice chief of staff, two senior U.S. intelligence officials said.They said communications intercepted by the National Security Agency in January showed that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard discussed mounting “USS Cole-style attacks” against the base, referring to the October 2000 suicide attack in which a small boat pulled up alongside the Navy destroyer in the Yemeni port of Aden and exploded, killing 17 sailors.The intelligence also revealed threats to kill Gen. Joseph M. Martin and plans to infiltrate and surveil the base,
A condo association in Fargo, North Dakota, has threatened ongoing fines to a resident for the flapping sounds his flag makes on windy days.Andrew Almer, like many Americans, hangs an American flag outside his home. “It’s something I’ve always wanted when I owned a home,” Almer told Fox 13 on Friday. “Having an American flag in the yard is just an American thing – that pride to have.” Now it looks like the patriotic display could cost him.Almer has kept the flag displayed for a good portion of his five-year stay. “I don’t really take it down,” he said. “It’s been lit up every night and it’s an all-weather flag,

One year ago today, an article of mine at American Thinker became a flashpoint of mainstream media coverage and criticism. Before one week had passed, my article was referenced, including with links to it and me in four major articles at the Washington Post, two in the New York Times... Politico, Vanity Fair, Buzzfeed, New York Magazine, and others. (snip) The reason for all this fuss was that I was the first one in the national media to challenge the media-driven image of Dr. Anthony Fauci as a sage and a savior, a man whose commands to shut down the nation must be obeyed
Biden felt three times as he scaled the stairs to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews.
Biden tried jogging up the stairs to board Air Force One en route to Atlanta and fell hard on his knee.
When he arrived in Atlanta, he visited the Atlanta headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to thank public health workers amid the coronavirus pandemic and claimed that “science is back”, though he did not state where or how the science went missing.
Biden wrapped up his pep talk to the agency with a lengthy anecdote about meeting with then-VP Xi Jinping.
A McKinney man accused of storming the U.S. Capitol was given away by his mobile phone, which placed him at the scene, giving agents clues they needed to identify and arrest him, federal court records show.
Kevin Sam Blakely, 55, was captured in video footage standing inside and outside of the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 uprising and riot, according to an FBI complaint.
Google location data has helped the FBI make numerous arrests of other alleged rioters across the country.
If President Biden makes good on a recent White House promise that he'll field questions from a roomful of reporters for the first time this coming Thursday, he will be doing so on his 65th day since taking office.
Saturday marked the 60th consecutive day the nation’s 46th president did not do a news conference with the White House press corps.
That stretch has been marked by several near-misses of interactions with the media:
On March 3, for example, Biden appeared ready to handle some questions from reporters during a virtual news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but the video feed of the event suddenly cut off.
A 68-year-old man punched in the face by a stranger on a Tribeca subway train, leaving him in critical condition, was the latest victim of anti-Asian hate, a good Samaritan who helped the victim told the Daily News.
The victim was minding his business riding an uptown No. 1 train when the unhinged assailant, sporting a fedora, black leather jacket, pink hoodie and an elaborate gold necklace, boarded the train about 2:40 p.m. Friday, sources said.(Snip) Without warning, the 6-foot-2 attacker walloped the victim in the face leaving him covered in blood that dripped down his jacket.

Judge Laurence Silberman accused the New York Times and Washington Post of being “Democratic Party broadsheets” in a dissenting opinion on Friday. Washington, DC, federal appellate judge Laurence Silberman accused the New York Times and Washington Post, and to some extent the Wall Street Journal, of being mouthpieces for “rather shocking” bias against the Republican Party in a written opinion on Friday.“The orientation of these three papers is followed by The Associated Press and most large papers across the country (such as the Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, and Boston Globe),” he said in the opinion. “Nearly all television—

Capitol 'Insurrection' 19 replies
Soldiers "from every echelon" of the US military have been openly questioning why last year's violent BLM and Antifa riots weren't treated like the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a comparison which has flown sideways up the ass of the military's top enlisted leader, Chief Master Sergeant Ramón "CZ" Colón-López.
In a Thursday briefing at the Pentagon, Colón-López (CZ) told reporters that some troops have asked "How come you're not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that? [Jan. 6 riot]"
"This is coming from every echelon that we're talking to," CZ added.
On Monday, Evanston, Ill., is set to become the first American city to provide reparations to some of its Black residents, marking a historic step toward restitution to African Americans who have been historically disenfranchised and discriminated against in the U.S. following over two centuries of slavery. While the idea of reparations for African Americans has long been met with some skepticism about its need and overall execution, leaders on the local city council say that this is the first step toward a “full repair” of racial injustices. “This is a first step in Evanston — one that I’m really
