to Tackle Immigration Case Backlog
Posted By: JoElla Bee, 9/2/2025 6:41:23 PM
In a decisive move to address the growing crisis in the U.S. immigration court system, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved deploying up to 600 military attorneys to the Department of Justice to serve as temporary immigration judges, according to a newly released memo. The attorneys — a mix of military personnel and civilian lawyers — will be sent in waves of 150, with the first group expected to be identified by next week. The initiative comes at the request of the Justice Department and is aimed at relieving a staggering immigration court backlog that has now ballooned to approximately 3.5 million cases.

The Jeffrey Epstein story was bound to become a circus, and the chances doubled once Democrats and the liberal media thought they could use it to take down President Donald Trump. The derangement exhibited by these people has long reached epic levels, to the point where rumor and speculation has replaced reality and facts.[snip] NBC News’ Hallie Jackson asked if any of the survivors saw Donald Trump do “doing anything inappropriate as it related to Jeffrey Epstein.” They all said no.
Democratic Senator Tim Kaine from Virginia, in a hearing on Wednesday, told the room:”The notion that rights don't come from laws, and don't come from the government, but come from the Creator... That's what the Iranian government believes. So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.” Senator Ted Cruz blasted Senator Kaine's comments.[snip] that radical and dangerous notion in his words, is literally the founding principle upon which the United States of America was created.
A lawyer for the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, Attorney Brad Edwards, told reporters that there is no such thing as the Epstein list.
A reporter asks, "Do you believe Jeffrey Epstein had a list?" To whom Edwards replies: "Yeah, so there is not a list," as the survivors behind him nodded in agreement.[snip] while conspiracy theories continue to swirl about a so-called hidden “Epstein list,” Edwards made clear: there is no such document. The people with the most knowledge, Epstein's victims, agreed. What does exist, however, are people who knowingly helped Epstein carry out his abuse,
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have been overheard discussing organ transplants as a means of prolonging life on the sidelines of a military parade in Beijing. Putin suggested even eternal life could be achievable as a result of innovations in biotechnology, according to a translation of remarks caught on a hot mic.The unguarded moment was captured on a livestream carried by Chinese state TV as the two leaders and North Korea's Kim Jong Un walked together through China's historic Tiananmen Square.
For years, Americans were told their only hope was to roll up their sleeves for Pfizer, Moderna, and the rest of the vaccine cartel.
Trillions of dollars flowed into their coffers while dissenting doctors were silenced, families were divided, and countless workers lost their jobs under vaccine mandates. However, a peer-reviewed study out of Germany now shows that a cheap, decades-old nasal spray, azelastine, may do what the so-called ‘miracle’ experimental COVID jabs never accomplished: stop infection.
I haven’t written about it here at The American Spectator, at least that I can remember, but I’m becoming a subscriber to the theory that Donald Trump is the kryptonite to Saul Alinsky’s Superman. What I mean by that is the Alinskyite Left, which encompasses basically the whole of today’s Democrat Party ever since Barack Obama took it over in the mid-2000s, is built on a definite roster of political tactics and principles, and those tactics and principles are calibrated to defeat a certain type of opponent. Specifically, the corporatist Bush Republican blue-blood types who would buckle in the face of an impolite opposition

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a deadly warning to drug traffickers Wednesday as he shared details about a U.S. military strike that destroyed a Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean, killing 11 suspected Tren de Aragua narco-terrorists. "It's a new day. It's a different day, and… this is an activity the United States is not going to tolerate in our hemisphere," Hegseth said on "Fox & Friends."
Venezuela's Minister of Communication and Information Freddy Nanez dismissed video of the attack as AI-generated, an accusation Hegseth dismissed.

The Army has canceled its Command Assessment Program (CAP), a promotion board that factored psychological assessments and potential biases into leadership considerations."Good riddance," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote on X. "Promotions across [Department of Defense] will ONLY be based on merit & performance." The program, which was implemented broadly across the Army in 2020, was aimed at reducing conscious and subconscious biases and using peer assessments and behavioral analysis to choose candidates for command posts.

Grand juries in Washington, D.C. refused to indict two people accused of threatening the life of President Donald Trump, prosecutors confirmed to Fox News Digital Tuesday. Officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington said both cases involved threats against the president while jurors rejected charges, preventing the cases from moving forward to trial. One case involved Nathalie Rose Jones, who is accused of posting online threats to assassinate Trump and later repeating those threats directly to Secret Service agents during an interview.
China and Russia have greenlit a new cross-border natural gas pipeline in a major win for Russian President Vladimir Putin, though questions about who pays what and at what price remain unresolved.
Once completed, the proposed Power of Siberia 2 pipeline could pump 50 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas per year into China—about 61 percent more than the 31 bcm delivered by the original Power of Siberia line in 2024. The new route would run through Mongolia from western Siberia's Yamal fields.
BEIJING - Chinese President Xi Jinping warned the world was facing a choice between peace or war at a massive military parade in Beijing on Wednesday, flanked by Russia's Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un in an unprecedented show of force. The event to mark 80 years since Japan's defeat at the end of World War Two was largely shunned by Western leaders, with Putin and Kim - pariahs in the West due to the Ukraine war and Kim's nuclear ambitions - the guests of honour Designed to project China's military might and diplomatic clout
President Donald Trump has once again struck at the heart of the globalist machine, demanding federal racketeering charges against Democrat megadonor George Soros and his son, Alexander. For decades, Soros has funneled billions into organizations and movements that destabilize nations, bankroll violent protests, and manipulate democratic processes under the cover of “philanthropy.” His influence has stretched from American streets ─ funding BLM demonstrations, pro-Palestine agitators, disruptive protests in cities (like Los Angeles) — to violent uprisings and political meddling across Europe.

Reports surfaced this week suggesting that Chelsea Clinton may be considering a run for Congress in New York's 12th District, where longtime Democratic Representative Jerry Nadler has announced his retirement. The reports about Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, come as Democratic strategists weigh who could consolidate support in a rapidly expanding field. However, she has repeatedly insisted over the years that she has no plans to enter politics. Newsweek reached out to Chelsea Clinton via email for comment. Nadler's retirement marks the end of a three-decade career in Congress, including
During a presser outside Eagan, Minnesota’s Deerwood Elementary Tuesday, Gov. Tim Walz (D) confirmed he will call an emergency gun control session and criticized the number of guns and “type of guns” in circulation in America.
FOX 9 quoted Walz saying, “The thing that makes America unique in terms of shootings is we just have more guns and the wrong types of guns are on the streets.”
He went on to admit that he is going to need some Republicans to cross the aisle and vote with Democrats in order to secure his gun control package.
Walz added, “If Minnesota lets this moment slide and we determine it’s OK
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the former House Judiciary Committee chairman who helped lead the impeachments of then-former President Donald Trump, announced on Monday that he will not seek reelection in 2026, ending a 34-year tenure that placed him at the center of Democratic politics in New York and on the national stage.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, 78, confirmed that he will retire at the close of his current term, saying his decision was shaped by growing calls for generational change within the Democratic Party. “Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,”

Former Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday endorsed socialist Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani in the race for City Hall — claiming the progressive’s “bold, sweeping” agenda will save the Big Apple. “We don’t just need Zohran Mamdani to be our mayor because he has the right ideas, or because they can be achieved,” de Blasio said in a New York Daily News op-ed as he threw his support behind the front-runner.“We need him because in his heart and in his bones he cannot accept a city that prices out the people who built it and keep it running.”
A federal judge has declared President Donald Trump’s use of military troops in Los Angeles illegal, barring the Pentagon from using National Guard members and Marines from performing police functions, like arrests and crowd control.
In a 52-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer warned that Trump appears intent on “creating a national police force with the President as its chief.” Trump billed his deployment of troops to Los Angeles, starting in early June, as a way of bolstering immigration enforcement efforts amid protests in the city against the president’s deportation agenda. Though Trump has now withdrawn all but 300 of those troops, he is mulling
President Donald Trump made it clear he would be up for using a 1900s throwback measure by reopening state-run insane asylums to clean up the streets and deal with the people who have serious mental illness problems.
Speaking to The Daily Caller's Reagan Reese, Trump talked about the success of the crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., which led to a question about whether he would be open to the government reopening insane asylums to institutionalize mentally ill individuals "Yeah, I would," Trump explained. "Well, they used to have them, and you never saw people like we had, you know, they used to have them.

There is a running joke on TikTok, which is predominantly used by younger adults, that the Baby Boomer generation is now able to sell their homes for millions after buying them with a handful of raspberries.

A majority of respondents said the prior generation had an easier time buying a home, starting a

During a news conference in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Donald Trumpannounced the U.S. military "shot out" a drug boat from Venezuela in the southern Caribbean. "Over the last few minutes, [we] literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat," Trump said during the news conference. "A lot of drugs in that boat. And you'll be seeing that, and you'll be reading about that. It just happened moments ago." Secretary of State Marco Rubio later posted to X sharing additional details, noting the hit was a "lethal strike."
A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump unlawfully invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans he alleged were part of a criminal gang.
In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction that blocked the Trump administration from removing a group of Venezuelans under the seldom-used 18th-century law. The Fifth Circuit is the first federal appeals court to rule directly on a March 14 presidential proclamation invoking the 1798 law to justify rapid deportations.
Circuit Judge Leslie Southwick, writing for the two-judge majority, rejected the Trump administration's assertion that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua
