US-Mexico border is officially the DEADLIEST
in the world: At least 686 deaths and
multiple migrants going missing makes
it the most dangerous crossing
Posted By: Imright, 9/12/2023 3:24:50 PM
The US-Mexico border is the world's deadliest land migration route - with hundreds losing their lives and going missing while attempting to make perilous crossings. The International Organization for Migration documented 686 deaths and disappearances among migrants on the US-Mexico frontier last year - but the actual figure is likely higher due missing data. A total of 1,457 fatalities were recorded along migration routes in the Americas in 2022 - marking the deadliest year on record in the region since at least 2014, when the agency first started documenting deaths and disappearances.

A sweeping bill has been signed into law by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in the wake of the horrific Uvalde shooting, posting an armed security officer in every school in the state. (Video) The massive leap forward in school safety also mandates that mental health training for certain district employees be provided.
Texas House Bill 3 was signed by Abbott on June 14 and went into effect on September 1. Republicans were determined to ensure another slaughter like the one at Robb Elementary School, which occurred in May 2022, never happens again. Nineteen children and two teachers perished that day
President Donald Trump called Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT)’s announcement that he was not running for re-election “fantastic news for America.”
“FANTASTIC NEWS FOR AMERICA, THE GREAT STATE OF UTAH, & FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,” he posted on Truth Social on Wednesday. “MITT ROMNEY, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS PIERRE DELECTO, WILL NOT BE SEEKING A SECOND TERM IN THE U.S. SENATE, WHERE HE DID NOT SERVE WITH DISTINCTION,” he added, referring to a secret account run by Romney.
Trump added, “A BIG PRIMARY FIGHT AGAINST HIM
Twitter/X owner Elon Musk, embroiled in an ongoing war of words with the far-left Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which has pushed for censorship of conservatives on all platforms, has said the organization was “instrumental” in getting Donald Trump blacklisted from Twitter.
Speaking to the All-In Podcast, Musk said that the ADL characterized his decision to allow the former President back on to Twitter/X as an example of hate speech.(Photos) “The ADL was instrumental in getting Donald Trump deplatformed. And then when we restored the account, they made it super clear that they regarded simply restoring his account… that constituted hate speech,”
WASHINGTON — A top FBI agent involved in the Hunter Biden investigation couldn’t recall or refused to answer several questions related to IRS whistleblower claims that the probe into the first son was impeded by the Justice Department.
A transcript of FBI Special Agent Thomas Sobocinski’s closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee last week, reviewed by The Post, reveals that the Justice Department detailed what Sobocinski could and couldn’t talk about with lawmakers a day before his Sept. 7 interview.
“Specifically, the Department has authorized [Sobocinski] to discuss U.S. Attorney [David] Weiss’ authority, as well as the October 7th, 2022, meeting, subject to some constraints around the ongoing investigation issue,”
The Paper Ballot is the Vote of Record

The lifeblood of our American Republic is free and fair elections, and right now we’re hemorrhaging profusely due to illegal elections by far-left fascists, but we can stop the bleeding of our rights and freedoms by restoring legal integrity into state and federal elections. The validity of elections depends on the legal vote counts; sounds simple enough, right? To get a legal vote count, election officials need to count the legal version of a voter’s vote. The legal version of the vote is what it is…it is the “vote of record.” The vote of record in elections will always be the historical document kept on file
Joe Biden disparaged Barack Obama in a 2010 email claiming that the then-President stole his speech.
Biden, who was at the time Obama's vice president, said that the President had 'no grace' after his son Hunter Biden claimed he plagiarized a pro-union speech at Laborfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The September 7, 2010 email was part of the troves on Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop – and this tidbit was first reported by Fox News Digital.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation and prosecution of CEFC China Energy Co. boss and Biden family associate Patrick Ho displayed “irregularities,” including concealing known connections between the Chinese Communist Party-linked entity and the Bidens, and communication between Hunter Biden and the FBI agents involved in Ho’s case, according to a memo by the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project.
Ho, infamously referred to as “the f****** spy chief of China” by Hunter Biden, was arrested in November, 2017, and convicted in December, 2018, in the Southern District of New York and sentenced to 3 years in prison for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and money laundering. Ho’s first phone call
Oliver Anthony — the singer and songwriter of the hit “Rich Men North of Richmond”– apologized to fans for a show being canceled after he was booked to appear in Knoxville, Tennessee, at the end of the month.
Anthony was angry that the venue, the nightclub Cotton Eyed Joe, was charging $99 for tickets, plus another $199 for a meet-and-greet pass, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.
“I had to pull off on the side of the road and make this video. My adrenaline’s pumping. I’m p*ssed off right now,” the singer said in a video posted to Instagram on Monday.
“Don’t buy Cotton Eyed Joe tickets for $99 a piece
Seoul, South Korea—North Korea’s Kim Jong Un vowed “full and unconditional support” for Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Wednesday as the two leaders isolated by the West held a summit that the U.S. warned could lead to a deal to supply ammunition for Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
The meeting, which lasted over four hours at Russia’s spaceport in the Far East, underscores how the two countries’ interests are aligning: Putin is believed to be seeking one of the few things impoverished North Korea has in abundance -– stockpiles of aging ammunition and rockets for Soviet-era weapons.
Such a request would mark a role reversal from the 1950-53 Korean War,
Biden administration officials have blamed Mayor Eric Adams for New York's out-of-control migrant crisis as tensions heat up between the Democrat factions.
Department of Homeland Security employees have blasted the mayor's office for having 'no exit strategy' for the 10,000 refugees the city takes in each month.
Their comments are the latest example of the president's inner circle passing the humanitarian issue like a hot potato to local officials who in turn shunt responsibility back to the White House.

Stroke-addled Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) had no trouble mustering sarcasm when asked about the opening of an impeachment inquiry on the president.
“Ooo…”(Video) The freshman congressman was stopped Tuesday as he traveled with his assistant, Luke Borwegen, en route to his office in the Russell Building not long after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had announced the investigative process aimed at President Joe Biden. While the aide looked sincerely invested in moving on, Fetterman was jocular regarding the announcement.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) will not seek a second term next year, he announced on Wednesday.
Romney, 76, said in an interview that his decision to not run again was heavily influenced by his age and his prediction that his second term would be less effective than his first. “It’s very difficult for the House to operate, from what I can tell,” Romney said. “And perhaps more importantly, we’re probably going to have either Trump or Biden as our next president. And Biden is unable to lead on important matters and Trump is unwilling to lead on important matters.”

The California legislature passed a bill Friday that would threaten parents with losing custody of their children if they question their child’s supposed desire to undergo disfiguring hormone regimens or surgeries to appear more like the opposite sex.
Assembly Bill 957 was initially proposed to require courts to consider whether parents were “affirming” a child’s identification as transgender in custody cases. The legislation was later amended in June to declare parents who aren’t deemed sufficiently “affirming” liable for child abuse.
In a tweet sent out over the weekend, Rob “Meathead” Reiner declared that “For our Democracy to survive, two things have to happen. Donald Trump needs to be Convicted for Jan. 6th and there can be no Third Party Candidate.”
Reiner’s comment was so blatantly anti-democratic that it elicited an avalanche of criticism, some of it from leftists who didn’t particularly like the idea of barring third-party candidates. As one person on X (formerly known as Twitter) responded: “Better make sure there’s no second party candidate either, just to be safe. For Democracy.”
Another way of putting what Reiner said: We need to kill democracy in order to save it.
Soaring crime in the nation's capital is leaving residents rattled, with locals driving small distances to avoid walking and others now too fearful to step outside even during the day.
Homicides and robberies are up 29 and 67 per cent from the same time period last year, with murders approaching levels not seen in two decades - while other big cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Baltimore are seeing declines.

What did she think was going to happen? New Mexico’s Democratic governor has been making headlines around the country since she decided her election to a statewide office gave her the power to suspend the Constitution of the United States. Over the weekend, her home-state constituents sent a message of their own.

On the question of credit, the senior Republican senator from Missouri finds himself well to the left of the White House, only slightly less progressive than democratic socialists like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and very much out of step with the business-friendly old guard of his party.
Sen. Josh Hawley will introduce legislation to cap the annual percentage rate of credit cards at 18%, RealClearPolitics is first to report. The average APR, by most estimates, now hovers near the 24% mark.

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah announced Wednesday he will not run for reelection to a second term in the Senate in 2024. "I spent my last 25 years in public service of one kind or another," Romney said in a video posted on social media. "At the end of another term, I'd be in my mid-80s. Frankly, it's time for a new generation of leaders." Romney, 76, was the Republican nominee for president in 2012 and won election to the Senate in 2018. "While I'm not running for reelection, I'm not retiring from the fight," he said. "I'll be your United States senator until January of 2025."
A medicine used by millions of Americans for a stuffy nose does not work, a Food and Drug Administration panel ruled today.
Phenylephrine is the most common active compound in over-the-counter drugs like Benadryl Allergy Plus Congestion, Sudafed PE, and Tylenol Cold and Flu Severe Day & Night.
But an FDA panel said after a two-day review that the oral decongestant ‘is not effective’ at standard or even high doses compared to a placebo.Their ruling is not binding but strongly suggests the agency could soon heed their advice and pull its approval, forcing companies to pull or reformulate their products.
The Biden administration has been blasted over plans to send out a letter to many of the major news organizations across the country demanding they probe the 'lies' of the House GOP's impeachment inquiry.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) cautioned House Republicans not to pursue an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden, which he sees as “unlikely to be successful in the Senate,” while House Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD) indicated he was not keen on an impeachment investigation being tied to negotiations around government funding.
Cornyn and Thune, two of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) top deputies, made the comments to the Hill in an article published ahead of McCarthy’s announcement Tuesday morning that House Republicans are opening a formal impeachment inquiry into Biden.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday lashed out at Speaker McCarthy and accused him of spearheading a “witch hunt” for announcing an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden.
Speaker McCarthy on Tuesday announced he is directing House committees to open an impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden.
McCarthy scrambled to make a bold move as Congressman Matt Gaetz threatened to remove him as House Speaker.
“I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Over the past several months, House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden’s conduct—a culture of corruption,” McCarthy said.

ABORTION, ‘SACRAMENT’ OF SATAN You can go to prison because of abortion: prison is the penalty imposed in some nations for those who stop in silent prayer in front of a clinic where children are killed. But you don’t go to jail if you kill an innocent creature. [Snip] No human law can ever trample on the divine and natural Law, which commands: Thou shalt not kill. No nation can hope for prosperity and harmony as long as it allows this daily massacre
