DHS secretary to visit Texas border chaos
Posted By: Ribicon, 9/20/2021 11:44:29 AM
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced a visit Monday to Del Rio, Texas, where a camp of thousands of illegal immigrants has sprung up, puncturing the Biden administration’s claims of border security. His visit comes as his department announced a series of get-tough steps, including promises of faster deportations, to try to clear out the throng of mostly Haitian immigrants who crossed the Rio Grande and established the beachhead in the U.S. In an unsigned statement over the weekend, the department also said it was negotiating with other countries where the Haitians last lived to try to get them to take back the new arrivals.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin threw a lavish Studio 54-themed end-of-summer party at hot New York members club Zero Bond. Guests including Elon Musk, Shawn Mendes, Jared Leto and even Barstool Sports boss Dave Portnoy gorged on a caviar, oyster and lobster bar upon arriving at the SoHo hotspot on Saturday. Other big names invited to the exclusive fête included La La Anthony, Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash, comedian Jeff Ross and Hizzoner’s equestrian daughter Georgina Bloomberg. An insider told us, “The party started with a 60-person dinner followed by performances by DJs Diplo and Kygo.(Snip)The source added, “They took everyone’s phone upon entry
More than 28,000 Department of Education employees—including 10,000 classroom teachers—remain unvaccinated just days before a city-mandated deadline. As of Tuesday, the DOE said 87 percent of all 78,000 city teachers have had at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. The remaining 13 percent comprise roughly 10,100 holdouts—or roughly six educators for each of the city’s 1,600 schools.(Snip)The DOE declined to say how many teachers have applied for or received exemptions Tuesday — but teachers’ union sources told The Post that only a small fraction of accommodation requests are being granted. Asked about potential staffing shortfalls,
The Memphis police and fire departments are less than 50% vaccinated, and trail Shelby County's overall vaccination rate, according to data from the city of Memphis. The data shows that vaccine hesitancy is widespread among the city's first-responders and other city staff. City solid waste employees are 37% vaccinated and parks and neighborhoods are 40% vaccinated, city data showed.(Snip)The city employee vaccination rate sparked an angry outburst from Memphis City Councilman Edmund Ford, Sr. who told the city administration it needs to mandate vaccinations, something Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland has not done.(Snip)"Shut this place down… or lay their asses off," Ford told Smith during
Meteorologist Karl Bohnak, long a fixture on the Michigan weather-prediction scene, has opted out of his job at NBC affiliate WLUC-TV rather than get a coronavirus vaccine. “Today, it is with a heavy heart, I announce after over 33 years, I am no longer employed at TV6,” Bohnak, 68, wrote in a lengthy Facebook post last Wednesday. “I am leaving TV6 because the station’s corporate owner, Gray Television, has mandated vaccination against COVID-19 for anyone entering a property owned by the company. Since I chose not to take one of the shots, I was fired. Many of you have taken one of these injections, and that is
Republican investigators demanded answers Tuesday from the Federal Aviation Administration over its decision last week to impose a ban on drone flights near the Texas migrant camp that sprang up on the banks of the Rio Grande. Kentucky Rep. James Comer and fellow Republicans on the House Oversight Committee said the ban was “totally devoid” of a justification and, given the details, it’s tough to avoid the conclusion that the FAA was trying to protect the Biden administration from embarrassing images. “Using government resources to conduct such blatant censorship is exactly the kind of abuse of power that must be rooted out of our government—to say nothing to the basic
President Joe Biden made his first major address before the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday—announcing new financial commitments as he tried to reestablish the U.S.'s place in the global community. Biden said he'd ask Congress to double the amount of money for public climate financing—to about $11 billion a year—while also devoting $10 billion to curb hunger. 'We are not seeking a new Cold War,' Biden also assured the delegates, after the U.N.'s secretary-general expressed concerns about the U.S.'s deteriorating relationship with China. 'The United States is ready to work with any nation that steps up and pursues peaceful resolution to shared
Black Lives Matter activists gathered near Carmine’s restaurant in New York City and slammed its ‘racist’ management after three black women visiting from Texas were arrested for allegedly assaulting a hostess who asked for proof of vaccination. BLM protesters chanted ‘[expletive] you, Carmine’s’ and ‘Carmine’s are racist’ outside the Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Monday night—four days after the altercation.(Snip)The women, all of whom are from the Houston area, were seated indoors, but they then left when three men who were part of their group arrived several minutes later and two of them could not produce proof of vaccination,
Top Air Force officials sounded the alarm Monday that the U.S. is rapidly falling behind China in the race to dominate the 21st century, and they suggested that Congress‘ refusal to let go of aging weaponry and planes is a military luxury the country can no longer afford. Such dire warnings from Defense Department officials are common across Washington, with officials trying to justify ever-rising budget requests by laying out a world in which the U.S. slips behind its rivals militarily and needs more money to catch up. But Pentagon watchers say the debate has taken on new clarity and urgency with the chaotic but complete withdrawal of U.S. forces
The National Republican Campaign Committee is sending presents to seven House Democrats facing tight reelection, but the group probably won’t get many thank yous. The NRCC, the campaign arm for House Republicans, sent them doormats, which is what the GOP is calling these vulnerable incumbents. “We are sending doormats to these lawmakers to remind them they let Nancy Pelosi walk all over them. Voters will hold any Democrat who supports Nancy Pelosi’s reckless $3.5 trillion tax and spending spree accountable,” said NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer.(Snip)Getting the doormat will be Democratic Reps.

Atlanta—On a warm September afternoon, Mona Scott sat on the front porch while her home baked like an oven. As she ran a frozen water bottle across her forehead and arms, Scott told CNN her air conditioning broke 10 days earlier and had not yet been fixed.
"The windows are painted shut," Scott said. "We come outside at night to sleep because it's too hot inside."(Snip)And these health risks are not distributed equally. During extreme heat events, a few city blocks can mean the difference between a manageable 80-degree afternoon or a sweltering, 100-degree sweat fest.

Chris Suggs flashed his million-dollar smile. Of course the boys could have something to drink on this hot, muggy day in Eastern North Carolina. But it was going to be a fruit juice pouch, not a soda or other sugary drink they could get at the corner store.
Suggs disappeared into “The Hub,” a refurbished house that now serves as an unofficial hangout for kids in this hard-scrabble corner of Kinston.(Snip)But Albritton admits the endeavor has faced challenges. The mostly white group has had trouble drawing in members of the local community. The nonprofit also has found that many residents aren’t interested in gardening.

A new analysis of President Joe Biden’s downward-trending approval ratings finds that his Democratic Party could hemorrhage as many as 41 seats in the House during next year’s midterm elections, or close to as many as then-President Donald Trump’s GOP lost in 2018.Glen Bolger of Public Opinion Strategies told the Washington Examiner that it is not difficult to tie presidential polling to election outcomes and because Biden’s approval rating continues to decline, he believes the president’s party will lose close to the 41 seats lost during Trump’s midterm, or 34 more than the GOP needs to regain control of the chamber.This, before states have even redrawn their congressional districts
Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), admitted during an interview on Face the Nation that the six foot social distancing rule recommended by public health officials for months on end was actually “arbitrary in and of itself,” and he noted that “nobody knows where it came from.”
Speaking with Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan, Gottlieb discussed the rules and risks early in the pandemic, explaining that the Trump administration shifted its focus to the impact lockdowns and rules would have on the economy and children.

All this time I’ve been operating on the assumption that the reason they come to the border is because they do intend to stay .Forever, if they can.(Tweet/Video) What Psaki means is that migrants who surrender to the Border Patrol and apply for asylum can, in some circumstances, be summarily expelled under the CDC’s Title 42 pandemic authority. You file your asylum application and then you’re either repatriated or told to get comfortable in Mexico while you await a ruling. Ideally.
Only 49 percent of registered voters think President Joe Biden has enough “mental soundness” to serve as president, a Sunday Fox News poll revealed.Respondents were asked, “Do you think Joe Biden has the mental soundness to serve effectively as president, or not?”While 49 percent said yes, 48 percent said no. When respondents were asked weeks before, between September 7-10, 49 percent said yes, and only 45 percent said no, handing Biden three more points of less confidence in his mental soundness on Sunday.On the question asking if respondents believe “Joe Biden is a strong leader, or not?”
The White House is reacting to disturbing images that surfaced on Sunday of Border Patrol agents appearing to whip Haitian migrants desperately trying to cross the Rio Grande river into the United States. 'I don't know what the circumstances would be, it's obviously horrific,' Press Secretary Jen Psaki said of relevant footage from the border on Monday.Psaki was asked about the images at her daily White House briefing.'I've seen some of the footage, I don't have the full context, I can't imagine what context would make that appropriate but I don't have additional details,' she said. 'I don't think anyone seeing that footage would think it was acceptable or appropriate.'
Vice President Harris on Tuesday condemned the treatment of Haitian migrants at the southern border after images circulated appearing to show Border Patrol agents on horseback grabbing individuals seeking to enter the U.S.
"What I saw depicted, those individuals on horseback treating human beings the way they were was horrible," Harris told reporters after an event to promote the White House's economic agenda.
"I fully support what is happening right now, which is a thorough investigation into what is going on there. But human beings should never be treated that way, and I’m deeply troubled about it," she said.
Senators Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) and Mike Lee (R., Utah) personally investigated some of former president Trump’s claims of election fraud and concluded they were meritless, according to the book Peril by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
After requesting proof of Trump’s fraud claims, Graham received a collection of memos on January 4 from lawyer Rudy Giuliani entitled “Voting Irregularities, Impossibilities, and Illegalities in the 2020 General Election.” The memos alleged various irregularities in voting in swing states, such as hundreds of dead people voting in Georgia and 12,000 “overvotes” in Arizona, when voters select more than the maximum number of choices on a ballot.

Joe Biden's climate change envoy and former secretary of state John Kerry disclosed millions of dollars in Chinese investments held by his wife's family trust, government documents show.Kerry's latest filing with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) in March shows his wife benefits from an investment of 'at least $1 million' in a hedge fund that specializes in private partnerships and investments with Chinese government-controlled funds.In his senior government role Kerry regularly meets with Chinese diplomats and leaders, and is in the delicate position of negotiating with the industrial superpower to cut deals on reducing carbon emissions.
The names of more than 500 female athletes were included in an amicus brief filed Monday with the Supreme Court that calls on the nine-member panel to uphold abortion rights. “Women’s increased participation and success in sports has been propelled to remarkable heights by women’s exercise of, and reliance on, constitutional guarantees of liberty and gender equality, including the right to reproductive autonomy,” the filing stated. “Continued access to, and reliance on, those rights will empower the next generation of girls and women to continue to excel in athletics and beyond, strengthening their communities and this nation.
More than 500 current and former female athletes have urged the Supreme Court to reject a Mississippi law that would ban abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Biden administration has also backed Jackson Women's Health Organization, the only abortion clinic in Mississippi, in its fight over the state's attempted ban. The legislation is at odds with the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision which granted women's rights to access abortion with limited government interference. On December 1, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case against the ban, titled Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
