Trump's Biggest Immigration Win Yet
9 replies
Solving America's illegal immigration crisis didn't require amnesty -- just better leadership.
Last week, the Center for Immigration Studies released a study showing America's foreign-born population dropped by 2.2 million from January to July. While the number of naturalized U.S. citizens increased, there was a staggering 1.6 million-person drop among illegal immigrants. CIS estimated that this represented a 10% decline in the country's illegal immigrant population.
While determining the number of illegal immigrants always requires estimation, this drop is supported by anecdotal evidence.
"Nurse in US for 40 years self-deports," a recent Newsweek headline reads.

Weaponized Investigation Against Public

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) under Director Russ Vought on Tuesday closed a Biden-era investigation against Credova, a subsidiary of Public Square that provides consumer financing for firearms, believing this is yet another example of weaponization of government that the Trump administration hopes to end, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
In a letter obtained by Breitbart News, Mark Paoletta, the chief legal officer for the CFPB, wrote to James Giudice, the general counsel and chief legal officer for the Public Square Holdings:
I am writing to inform you that the Bureau is closing its investigation into Credova Financial, LLC that has been going on since February 2021.
Texas State Representative Nicole Collier (D-Fort Worth) slept at her desk on the floor of the State House after she refused to sign a document that required a police escort to allow her to leave the building. The Texas speaker of the House made any Democrat legislator who wanted to leave the building sign a pass agreeing to be escorted by a Department of Public Safety trooper to ensure their return to the chamber when required.
House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock) issued a requirement that Democrat representatives must sign an agreement to be escorted by a DPS trooper on Monday after the legislators returned from a two-week quorum-breaking hiatus.

President Donald Trump’s voter approval rating surged to 54 percent following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
An InsiderAdvantage survey conducted over the weekend found that Trump “now has an advantage among every age group other than the most senior of voters,” and improved his numbers among black (23.7) and Hispanic voters (47.2). White voters are at a near-record high approval with 64 percent.
Over half of independents (50.4) are approving of Trump, while the vast majority of Republicans (92) and 17.9 percent of Democrats said the same.

So Trump met with Vladimir Putin in Alaska last Friday, got home, and played a round of golf on both Saturday and Sunday. The remaining big dogs of Europe, who have spent the past eight years sneering at this guy, dropped everything, jetting in to meet him at the White House today to hear all about the thing with Putin.
They were all working together - together. Who else could have done this? Seriously.

Hamas Accepts a New Ceasefire Deal

Hamas has apparently accepted the terms of a ceasefire deal similar to one that was proposed last month but never put in place. The deal would free some remaining hostages in exchange for more than 200 Palestinian prisoners.
In a statement, Hamas said it had accepted the new proposal presented on Sunday by Qatar and Egypt.
Basem Naim, a senior member of Hamas’ political bureau, said on social media, “The movement has accepted the new proposal from the mediators. We pray that God extinguishes the fires of this war on our people.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showed up to the White House Monday looking very different than the last time he visited, and President Donald Trump's elated reaction was hard to miss.
Trump welcomed Zelensky and European leaders for peace talks, and the Ukrainian leader stepped out looking terrific, wearing an all black suit. The president clearly noticed, as he immediately reacted to the suit and pointed out how great Zelensky appeared. "I can't believe it. I love it," Trump said, pointing to the leader's dapper attire. "Look at you."
Newsmax will pay $67 million to settle a libel lawsuit over its false claims that Dominion Voting Systems had changed votes in the 2020 presidential election.
As part of the settlement, Newsmax will pay Dominion $27 million this month and another $40 million over the next two years, according to an SEC filing by Newsmax.
The settlement was reached on August 15.
“We are pleased to have settled this matter,” Newsmax said in a statement, though it stood by its coverage as “fair, balanced and conducted within professional standards of journalism.”
The bloodshed continues at the far-left Washington Post with the news Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Robin Givhan has accepted a buyout.
The Trump-era schlonging of the regime media shows no signs of slowing down.
“So, recently The Post offered buyouts to anyone who’d been there for 10 years or longer. It was the first time I’d been eligible for such a thing. So, I considered it. (It was a fair amount of $$),” Givhan announced on her verified Instagram account. “I agonized about it. I fretted. I procrastinated until the last possible moment. I considered my needs, my desires, my beliefs.
MSNBC, an elitist, far-left propaganda outlet devoted to spreading bigotry and misinformation, has officially split with NBC News and will now call itself MS NOW.
“MS Now?” More like “MS LMAO,” amirite?
“MS NOW” officially stands for “My Source for News, Opinion, and the World.”
“MS NOW” might as well stand for “My Sweaty Nards Occupy Wisconsin,” because this is a death blow.
“This new branding underscores our mission: to serve as a destination for breaking news and best-in-class opinion journalism, all rooted in accurate and reported facts,” chirped MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler in an internal memo.

Hurricane Erin strengthened back into a Category 4 behemoth over the weekend, the latest shift in what has been a remarkably fast-changing storm.
The hurricane’s behavior in recent days makes it one of the fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricanes on record and yet another indication that climate change is increasing the risk of rapidly intensifying storms.
Erin became the first hurricane of this year’s Atlantic season Friday and exploded in strength from a Category 1 into a Category 5 storm in a little over 24 hours. Even after it weakened and re-strengthened into a Category 4 storm, Erin’s jaw-dropping transformation ranks it among the five storms

Chicago community leaders and longtime residents say the Obama Presidential Center risks washing away the neighborhood’s fabric, warning that proposed luxury developments tied to the project could price out families who have long called the South Side home, according to a report. They also say the sprawling 19.3-acre site in historic Jackson Park, with its 225-foot-tall concrete museum, has become an eyesore that disrupts the natural landscape and all locals are getting in return for the unsightly structure is soaring rents and higher tax bills.
The National Park Service reportedly fired a trans Yosemite National Park ranger who hung a transgender pride flag across the park’s El Capitan rock formation in California earlier this year. Shannon "SJ" Joslin, 35, wrote an Instagram post on Monday claiming to have been fired from the park "for practicing my First Amendment right" after hanging the 55-foot by 35-foot flag across Yosemite’s iconic rock destination in May. Joslin, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, claimed to have raised the flag while off-duty and as a private citizen. "I was fired by the temporary Deputy Superintendent for ‘failing to
Was the FBI Behind the Oklahoma Bombing?
30 replies
It has always been hard to believe that the truck-bombing of the A.P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, which killed 168 people, including 19 children at a daycare center, was planned by just one or two perpetrators acting alone. However, the official story states that the mastermind was Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh, and that the two others sentenced with him only helped him in various ways.
Right from the start, warning signs indicated that the investigation was being misled. The FBI developed a story claiming that a group called the Patriots Movement, which included anti-government extremists and white supremacists, was responsible for the attack.
Are James Comey's sudden babblings about how pop-tart singer Taylor Swift was his guide to life a sign that he knows he's legally up to his neck in alligators? Or is he just a weirdo? Seems both arguments have some truth. ack In case you haven't seen it, he wrote this sort of thing on his Substack, via GatewayPundit:
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to my Substack. Last week’s cold turns out to have been COVID—quite a flashback.
The Farce Is Strong With Mark Hamill
21 replies
Mark Hamill, the man most famous for playing the character of Luke Skywalker, recently admitted that he nearly packed his bags after Donald Trump won re-election in 2024. Apparently, the thought of another Trump term sent the actor spiraling into the dark side, ready to abandon this country altogether. He even floated the idea past his wife, Marilou York, offering her a choice between moving to London or settling in Ireland. It's a bold proclamation on its surface, but like so many of Hollywood’s political temper tantrums, it ended in retreat.

In a creepy Substack video, Trump-hating James Comey, former FBI director-turned amateur life coach, uses Taylor Swift lyrics to bash the president.
He titles the five-minute rant, “On Taylor Swift,” but spends a lot of time griping about Trump, who last week had the nerve to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and try to jumpstart negotiations to end the deadly Ukraine-Russian War.

The border wall separating the United States and Mexico is being painted black to make it too hot for migrants to climb.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem revealed the project was a specific request from Donald Trump as the president celebrated 'ZERO releases' of illegal migrants into the country. 'In the hot temperatures down here, when something is painted black it gets even warmer,' Noem said during a press conference in front of the wall on Tuesday. She noted the structure is already hard to climb and near impossible to dig under, but said Trump's latest measure will help to secure the American border even further.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Tuesday that she will be revoking security clearances for 37 current and former intel officials for allegedly abusing the public’s trust by manipulating information and conducting political activities.
The officials on Gabbard’s list includes former top aides to Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who was involved with a discredited intelligence assessment that claimed Russia favored once-and-current President Donald Trump to win the 2016 election over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Russia launched 270 drones and 10 missiles against Ukraine on August 19, in a kinetic response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's White House talks with US President Donald Trump and key European allies.
Ukrainian regional officials said that over 24 hours Russian shelling across the Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson regions had claimed the lives of 15 people and injured at least 76 more.
It was reported that the Poltava region was hit particularly hard, leaving over 1,500 residents without electricity. In Chernihiv, drones damaged infrastructure and disrupted power supplies.
