SAY WHAT? USA Today Claims Biden Has ‘Clamped
Down on Unauthorized Border Crossings’

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 4/7/2024 6:08:46 AM

It has been fascinating to watch over the last few years as the media, which spent four years relentlessly hammering Trump for anything and everything, does everything it can to protect Biden from even the slightest criticisms. There are even times when the media spin gets so overstretched that they forget themselves and say something so outrageously untrue that it borders on comedy. In this case, USA Today is making the bizarre claim that Biden has ‘clamped down’ on unauthorized border crossings. He has? When?

We have to realize that such blatant lies are now NORMAL for the media. They feel that ANYTHING is justified in the attempt to prevent Trump from being elected in November. Consider that Trump has done NOTHING to them except accurately call them out over their lies. Over time, Trump has been proven right and the media's credibility has continued to slip toward zero. Further, the media's response has been to double and triple down with their lies. Trump's mastery here is to understand his enemy, that they can't help themselves, and will continue to lie themselves into oblivion while cursing Trump all the way. In the media's mind, Trump is an existential threat to them. The reality is, the media are addicts to celebrity and power and Trump has simply exposed them as the dimwits and liars they are. The media's response is to continue to "shoot up" with bigger and bigger doses.

Here’s how it works. FJB simply authorized illegal border crossings when he first took office; therefore, there can be no unauthorized border crossings. Problem solved!

Yeah, he has clamped down on the unauthorized ones..... Trouble is, he has 'authorized' EVERYONE to come in. Heck, he even sends government planes to bring them in if they are unwilling to make the march through Mexico (or Canada) . And I assume that those planes don't go through customs, so no telling what equipment the passengers are bringing with them.

They changed the definition so 99% of border crossings are now 'legal'. Someday our fake government will release a declaration saying our southern border is no longer our border.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Harris County, where Houston is located, over its guaranteed income program aimed to help thousands of impoverished households in the county. Paxton contends that the program, named 'Uplift Harris', which will provide families in need with $500 a month for 18 months, violates the Texas Constitution. More than 1,900 eligible individuals and families were selected from the ten of the poorest zip codes in the county in February, with the first payment scheduled to go out in late April. With the attorney general now calling the program unlawful, the program could be halted just weeks before the first payment is set to roll out.

The ex-Tonight Show host petitioned Los Angeles Superior Court in January to be appointed her conservator because her condition makes her unable to handle her own affairs. In court on Tuesday the judge agreed, saying: 'I think she's in the least restrictive environment. I think she's in very good care with Mr. Leno.'

The Caucus of African American Leaders of Anne Arundel County in Maryland voted unanimously to call for the renaming and will lobby governor Wes Moore on the proposal, as reported by the Baltimore Banner. The caucus includes civil rights groups such as the NAACP and the National Coalition of 100 Black Women. Leaders argued that the The Star-Spangled Banner author -who the collapsed bridge was named after - was a slave owner who wrote lyrics that scholars have said 'demeaned black people.'

During an interview with MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Sunday, Buttigieg highlighted how he was able to “safely walk” his dog in the nation’s capital without any problems. Buttigieg, like many other elected officials, is provided with a security detail. “We need to talk about the reality here, and again, there is a lot of funding and a lot of energy going into telling a different story, especially on ideological news outlets and online,” Buttigieg said.

Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying sending the articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas to the Senate after pressure from his GOP colleagues. The latest development in the ongoing Mayorkas impeachment saga comes just one day before the Senate was set to receive the impeachment articles, which would have immediately started a trial for Biden's embattled border chief. A spokesperson for Speaker Johnson said that 'to ensure the Senate has adequate time to perform its constitutional duty, the House will transmit the articles of impeachment to the Senate next week.'

Far-left National Public Radio (NPR) employs 87 registered Democrats in editorial positions but zero Republicans in the same positions in its Washington, DC, headquarters, NPR Senior Editor Uri Berliner wrote Tuesday. Berliner, who admittedly leans left, wrote a scathing article about NPR’s illiberal newsroom, slamming the taxpayer-funded network for refusing to address “a diversity problem” within the office. In an article published in the Free Press, Berliner said he opposed many of the left-wing and perhaps false narratives NPR spun about the coronavirus “lab leak theory,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Hunter Biden’s laptop, former President Donald Trump, and the 2016 Russia hoax.

A New York appeals court judge on Tuesday permitted the full Appellate Division First Department to consider relaxing a sweeping gag order against former President Donald Trump. The appellate court could reportedly decide to delay the criminal trial while it considers Trump’s gag order appeal. Trump sued New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan in an appeals court on Monday to challenge the judge’s sweeping gag order. Merchan, who is presiding over the New York criminal case, imposed the gag order after news surfaced about a connection between Merchan’s daughter and conspiracy theorist Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Ukraine will lose the war against Russia unless the U.S. provides further military aid. According to The Kyiv Independent, Zelensky made the remarks on Sunday during a meeting with the Ukrainian fund-raising group UNITED24. “It’s important to specifically address the Congress: if the Congress doesn’t help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” Zelensky said. “If Ukraine loses this war, other countries will be attacked. This is a fact." The warning is one of the starkest since Russia invaded Ukraine over two years ago, as Congress wrangles over the condition of greenlighting further support.

mericans are being urged to stay away from classic American dishes like steak and eggs and some desserts because there's a small risk of catching bird flu. That is the advice of former FDA food safety advisor Dr Darin Detwiler who said animal products that are not properly cooked could harbor small fragments of the virus which is currently tearing through US farms. That means steak should be cooked well done and eggs with runny yolks should be avoided. Even salad dressings like Caesar can be a risk due to being made with raw eggs, he said. The H5N1 bird flu strain has caused outbreaks on over a dozen farms across the US,

The incident is the latest in a series of protests and rallies staged by anti-Israel and pro-Hamas activists arguing against Israel’s effort to eliminate the terrorist group. The demonstrations resulted in the arrests of 50 people. The activists strode through the building, yelling chants such as “Senate can’t eat until Gaza eats” and “Children are starving in Gaza.” One woman can be seen on video footage wearing a shirt that reads: “Biden’s legacy = Genocide.”
