Thousands of US government officials have unlimited access to as many as 10,000 devices which are seized from travelers moving across the country. Electronic devices such as cellphones, iPads and laptops taken from those going through airports, seaports and border crossings are being mined for data. The leader of the Customs and Border Protection told congressional staff that the massive database can be accessed by 2,700 CBP officers without a warrant. During a briefing, which took place in the summer, officials also said that the data is maintained for 15 years.

In commemoration of the launch of our first movie, My Son Hunter, I have attempted to find the origins of the contagion that is Hunter Biden laptop denial.
It was one of the biggest stories of the century, broken in one of the country’s oldest papers (the New York Post), and by a terrific reporter (Breitbart’s own Emma-Jo Morris). In an era of endless spin and fake news, this story was 100% factual. Yet it was almost instantly dismissed as Russian disinformation and censored from the Internet.
Who was behind this massive hoax? How did they pull it off? Were these people conspiracists, liars, ignoramuses, or some combination thereof?

According to data revealed by the U.S. Census Bureau, Washington, D.C. can add to its list of distinguishing characteristics that it is America’s work-from-home capital. In the calendar year 2021, 48.3 percent of all employees in D.C. worked remotely.
The city of Seattle was a close second at 46.8 percent, followed by San Francisco at 45.6 percent, with Austin and Atlanta at 38.8 and 38.7 respectively in a close tie for fourth place.
Conversely, cities like Memphis, El Paso, Texas and Wichita, Kansas rounded out the bottom of the list with a large number of blue-collar employees who necessarily must be on site for their jobs.
Four days before she died, the Queen had an important announcement for the shooting party she had invited to spend a few days at Balmoral Castle.
Dinner that Sunday night would be informal, she said. No black tie for the men nor long dresses for the ladies and, unusually, there would be no piper.
For decades the skirl of the bagpipes had been an indispensable soundtrack to every occasion at the Scottish castle so this was a real break in tradition.
Her guests were her Bowes-Lyons cousins, relatives through the Queen Mother's family to whom she had always been close.
President Joe Biden warned Vladmir Putin to avoid using nuclear weapons as his forces are beaten back in Ukraine or face 'consequences.'
In a preview for this Sunday's 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley asked the president what words he would have for his Russian counterpart if he is considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons in the Ukraine.
Biden responded: 'Don't. Don't. Don't. You will change the face of war unlike anything since World War II.'
When Pelley pushed the president for America's response should Putin cross the line, Biden declined to comment on a specific plan,
Today in Federal Court, Attorney General Ken Paxton and the American people scored a huge victory regarding censorship and banning of individuals based on their viewpoint. The Gateway Pundit is also involved in a free speech lawsuit of their own in Missouri v. Biden. This victory from AG Paxton will certainly help TGP’s case moving forward. (Tweet) The case before the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit was regarding House Bill 20, which “generally prohibits large social media platforms from censoring people based on the viewpoint of its speaker.” Judge Andrew S. Oldham opined that
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to have been uninvited from Queen Elizabeth II’s pre-funeral reception at Buckingham Palace, according to a new report from the UK’s Telegraph.
The couple received an invite to the grand event, hosted by King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla, for world leaders and foreign royals. But they have apparently now been informed that only working British royals are welcome.
Per the outlet, it remained unclear why Harry, 38, and Markle, 41, were ever invited, with royal aides insisting they are not expected to attend.

he hyperventilating from the media and Democrats over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott shipping illegal immigrants Biden has dumped in America off to Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence and Martha’s Vineyard respectively is still ongoing in what can only be described as a full-blown display of ugly but entirely predictable NIMBYism for all the country to see.
As we previously reported, despite once proudly boasting of being a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants, Martha’s Vineyard wasted very little time kicking off GoFundMe fundraising efforts and kicking out the migrants by way of transporting them off to Joint Base Cape Cod
Shocking night vision footage shows the moment more than 500 migrants sneaked across the southern border into Texas - despite Kamala Harris claiming it was 'secure'.
The jaw-dropping thermal imaging video showed sprawling lines of people queuing in Mexico before slowly making their way into Eagle Pass overnight.
The three huge groups were spotted marching over rough terrain while being herded by what appeared to be a lesser number of guides.
The footage is the latest damning indictment against the Biden administration's failed attempts to crack down on the number of migrant crossings -

The Biden administration is reportedly pushing federal law enforcement to exaggerate the threat from domestic terrorism and white supremacy as the White House uses such threats as political talking points.
Current and former members of the FBI say that President Joe Biden’s administration is pushing the bureau to devote more resources than necessary toward combatting domestic terrorism, especially with racial components, according to The Washington Times.
The FBI leadership’s “demand for [w]hite supremacy … vastly outstrips the supply of [w]hite supremacy,” one agent told the Times. “We have more people assigned to investigate [w]hite supremacists than we can actually find.”
Several Florida Democrats who are publicly expressing shock and outrage over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sending undocumented migrants to Martha’s Vineyard actually voted in favor of the state budget, which appropriates $12 million for a program to do just that.
The governor signed the $109.9 billion “Freedom First” budget in June, which invests in education, law enforcement, and provides tax holidays, among other things.
A document highlighting some of the biggest initiatives in the budget explicitly states that the budget “creates a $12 million program within the Florida Department of Transportation to facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens out of Florida”:
Illegal immigrants who were flown in unannounced to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday are now being moved to a military base in Cape Cod.
The 50 migrants have been put on buses by Gov. Charlie Baker to travel the 32 miles to Joint Base in Cape Cod (JBCC) just 48 hours after they landed in the billionaire’s enclave.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew in the immigrants from Venezuela on Wednesday, sparking a widespread cry of outrage from the liberal leaders of the small island in Massachusetts.
It was declared a humanitarian emergency, with the island leaders responding in the same way as a hurricane.
The queue to see the Queen’s coffin at Westminster Hall reached a record-breaking 14 hours before being paused for 6 hours, the UK government said.
Determined mourners braved the chilly weather conditions during the night in a desperate bid to pay their respects to Her Majesty one last time after her death at the age of 96.
The landmark opened its doors to the general public on Wednesday and will remain open for 24 hours each day before closing at 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 19 — the day of Her Majesty’s state funeral.

President Joe Biden on Thursday denounced Republican governors as 'unAmerican' for the way they were playing political games with migrants, after more than 100 were dumped outside the vice president's official residence and others were flown to Martha's Vineyard.
It marked the latest salvo in an increasingly bitter row over the thousands of people crossing the border daily.
Republicans have stepped up their attacks on the Biden administration as they try to make immigration the theme of November's midterm elections.
Biden hit back as he addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala.
'Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props,' he said.
The Biden administration is sending another $600 million in military aid to Ukraine, the State Department announced on Thursday, as the U.S. rushes more weapons to fuel Kyiv's counteroffensive against Russia.
The White House said it was the 21st time that the Defense Department has pulled weapons and other equipment off the shelves to deliver to Ukraine.
The package will include more of the same types of ammunition and equipment that have helped Ukrainian forces beat back the Russian forces in portions of the east and south.
The Bidenomics Sham Is Collapsing

With red lights flashing nearly everywhere, the economy’s prospects look grim. Soaring inflation, crashing home sales, plunging GDP, falling real incomes. No question, the economy is a mess. So why is the Biden administration saying things are going better?
It’s not just this week’s “unexpected” 8.3% inflation jump. Or the scary plunge in stock prices, destroying trillions of dollars in household wealth in just days. It’s that the ruling party, the Democratic Party, seems utterly oblivious to the damage it’s done.
This week, President Joe Biden touted the “progress”
Less than half of Americans can name the three branches of the federal government—executive, legislative and judicial—according to an annual survey of civics knowledge conducted for the Constitution Day holiday on Saturday. Respondents to the Annenberg Public Policy Center’s survey also had little understanding of the impact of a Supreme Court ruling, and few could enumerate the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. “My impression is that even in prestigious universities, maybe 30% of all students could pass the civics test required of incoming immigrants,” said Joseph Ellis, a Pulitzer Prize-winning constitutional historian.(Snip)One-quarter of respondents could not name even one branch of the federal government,
Rome—Pope Francis urged Westerners to be more open to immigration Thursday, insisting that it is a necessary antidote to the West’s “demographic winter.” In forgetting how to welcome migrants, the West lost much, because it “needs people,” the pontiff told reporters during his return flight from Kazakhstan to Rome. Especially considering the “demographic winter,” which is so evident in Spain and Italy. “In Italy there are empty villages with just twenty old ladies and nothing else,” he said. “Why can’t we make a policy in the West where immigrants are included with the principle that the migrant should be welcomed, accompanied, promoted, and integrated?” he asked.

There has been a creeping meme among some Republican voters indicating that they will refuse to vote because they are fed up with congressional Republicans. They are telling everyone who will listen how horrible congressional Republicans are and are asking, "Why vote when our representatives do nothing and get nothing done?"
People who advocate not voting are advocating surrender to the leftist mob and surrender to Democrats who have ruined a perfectly good country. They are recommending surrender to the leftists who are persecuting Republican conservatives. There is no other way to read this: If you won't vote, you turn the reins of what power you have over to Democrats.
The tony vacation redoubt of Martha's Vineyard is freaking out over 50 illegal migrants, deposited at its door by Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis, who flew them in.
Seems the ritzy sanctuary island in the sanctuary state of Massachusetts is being forced to 'celebrate diversity' and they're not happy about it.
According to the New York Post:
The posh liberal enclave of Martha’s Vineyard has been thrown into chaos by the arrival of two planeloads of migrants sent there by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to local reports.
Roughly 50 migrants were flown to the famed Massachusetts island — constituting what the local tourism board called a “humanitarian crisis’’ Thursday.
Fox News commentators Tucker Carlson and Jesse Watters hit back against woke documentary filmmaker Ken Burns for his tone deaf comparison between sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard and the Holocaust.
Burns, who was making the talk show rounds to tout his three-part series exploring the U.S. action and inaction during the Nazi atrocities during World War II, couldn't help but see the correlation between the genocide and a political maneuver by Governor Ron DeSantis.
The Florida Republican made headlines on Thursday morning after sending a plane of migrants to the tony vacation spot off Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a regular vacation spot of the Kennedys.
The nation’s pro-migration border chief wants a bigger fleet of buses and aircraft to quietly control the delivery of many economic migrants to their preferred cities, according to the New York Times.
The demand comes from Cuban-born Alejandra Mayorkas, the pro-migration zealot who runs the Department of Homeland Security for President Joe Biden.
His plan was revealed amid the establishment media’s uproar over two GOP governors’ public transport of illegal migrants to the Vice President’s House in Washington, DC, and to the elite island resort of Martha’s Vinyard, off Massachusetts.
More lies.
Joe Biden on Thursday falsely claimed he was “teaching” before he ran for president in 2020.
Over the years Joe Biden has repeatedly claimed he was a professor at UPenn.
Joe Biden was paid $1 million by UPenn but he never taught a single class.
This is one of Joe Biden’s favorite lies.
“I had no intention of running … I was teaching and I thought that was the best thing for me to do,” Biden said during a speech at the United We Stand Summit.

Joe Biden is a legend in his own mind.
Biden was never a “professor” or teacher after serving as Vice President in 2017.
New York City officials are going to fly out migrants to Florida after claiming many of them did not want to come to the Big Apple.
The Commissioner of Immigration Affairs for the city says that a lot of the migrants being bussed from Texas by Gov Greg Abbott are coming from Venezuela. Manuel Castro claims that the majority of illegal immigrants that have arrived to New York want to go to Florida because of their large community of Venezuelans. His comments come just days after Mayor Eric Adams was seen with celebrities during New York Fashion Week, shortly after telling reporters that the cities shelters were at ‘breaking point’.
