Why Is Mayorkas Seemingly Getting a Pass?
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 12/15/2025 7:33:05 AM
If a single person from the Biden administration deserves sustained scrutiny, Alejandro Mayorkas sits at the top of the list. As Secretary of Homeland Security, he presided over the most chaotic period at the southern border in modern American history. It's not even close. There were record crossings, overwhelmed cities, and steeply climbing fentanyl deaths, thriving cartels, all with governors begging for help. Yet as the Trump administration continues to settle back in power, Mayorkas has barely been mentioned: When was the last time you heard his name mentioned? Silence follows a man whose fingerprints are all over a still-broken — but rapidly repairing — system.

The White House paid tribute to Ella Cook, the college Republican leader named as one of the student victims in the Brown University shooting.
"There are no words," said Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in a post on X. "Thinking of her family and friends, especially her parents. God please bless them." Cook was one of the two people killed after a gunman opened fire in the university’s engineering building during final exams on the Ivy League campus in Providence, Rhode Island on Saturday afternoon. Nine others were injured.

The Trump administration is moving to roll back key immigration protections, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announcing Friday the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopia and the end of multiple family reunification parole programs affecting migrants from several Latin American and Caribbean countries.
The plans came as Federal Register filings, with the latter affecting immigrants from Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras and El Salvador.
"DHS acknowledges that aliens paroled into the United States under the FRP programs may have been able to reunite with family members in the United States. However, upon further review of the scope and impact of the FRP programs in their totality,
A massive 155-foot statue of a Hindu god is being built in North Carolina, and the project is already underway.
The world's tallest statue of "Murugan" is being planned in Moncure in Chatham County, NC, the Indian Eagle reports.
The "warrior god" will be at the center of the Carolina Murugan Temple Campus, which will be on 130 acres of residential land.
During the first phase of building, the main temple, three gopurams (entrances to a Hindu temple), and a road surrounding the campus will be completed and will cost around three to five million dollars, the outlet notes. By the project's completion,
The National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a lawsuit on Friday challenging President Donald Trump’s plans to construct a ballroom on the site of the demolished East Wing.
The trust, a congressionally chartered nonprofit, argued in a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that Trump and administration officials have violated, and are continuing to violate, the Administrative Procedure Act and National Environmental Policy Act by demolishing the East Wing and moving forward with construction of the ballroom.
The complaint said the administration violated the laws when it didn’t consult with the National Capital Planning Commission or the Commission of Fine Arts and failed to conduct
A Utah-based mineral production company has stumbled upon a potentially game-changing discovery of 16 different types of rare earth elements and critical minerals in the state’s Silicon Ridge area. The discovery could potentially help America lower its reliance on China for metals vital to high-tech manufacturing.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Ionic Mineral Technologies, a company focused on producing nanosilicon for lithium-ion batteries, has uncovered what could be the most significant critical mineral reserve ever discovered in the United States. The discovery, made while mining clay in Utah’s Silicon Ridge, includes high grades of 16 different rare earth minerals, ranging from lithium and alumina to
President Donald Trump recently cracked down on work requirements with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by means of the “Big Beautiful Bill.” The policy drastically expanded work requirements for those who want to continue receiving food stamps. But Nelson Scott, a 38-year-old able-bodied man from Tennessee, called the changes “some bulls**t” in a viral interview last month with WZTV. Scott is “38, not disabled, doesn’t have any kids, doesn’t go to school, and doesn’t have a job,” all of which work against him with respect to eligibility, according to WZTV. He was previously receiving $292 per month to pay for groceries.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith, failed leader of President Joe Biden’s Justice Department efforts to convict Donald Trump, is partnering with other leading figures in the lawfare against Trump to create a law firm.
Smith is joining ex-Department of Justice prosecutors Tim Heaphy, David Harbach, and Thomas Windom.
As Yahoo News reported:
The lawyers all played leading roles investigating Trump during his years out of power. Smith and two members of his team, Harbach and Windom, obtained indictments against Trump for attempting to overturn his 2020 election defeat and illegally retaining classified documents.
A former Obama-era U.S. Attorney, Heaphy was the lead investigative lawyer for the House of Representatives committee
European Christians have celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ in their town squares for roughly 400 years in what became known as "Christmas markets." They began in German-speaking regions of Central Europe and spread to Poland, Croatia, France, and beyond. Then the globalists gavaged marauding Muslims into Europe. Since then, Christmas in Europe hasn't been the same. It's been downright dangerous. Erbach, Germany, was one of the latest scenes of Yuletide destruction, which frequently occurs at the hands of Islamist freebooters who demand tolerance but can't seem to thole some back to their hosts. Sometimes the pillagers have gone so far as to decapitate the Baby Jesus.
How far did the wokeness mania inside Joe Biden’s White House go? Far enough that his former secretary of State ordered the department to shift typefaces on the basis of diversity and inclusion.
Now, Donald Trump’s secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is switching it back — and the media somehow thinks that’s the fact they should be mocking, not the fact that Biden’s people switched typefaces because of DEI. And they wonder why Donald Trump got elected in 2024. Multiple reports Tuesday confirmed that Secretary of State Rubio ordered the State Department to switch from the font Calibri — a sans-serif font — to Times New Roman, generally considered
Dallas pastor Frederick Haynes, who hailed anti-Semitic preacher Louis Farrakhan as a "great" man and lashed out at Israel in a sermon just one day after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, is running to replace a member of his congregation in Congress: firebrand House Democrat Jasmine Crockett (Texas).
Haynes filed paperwork for Texas's 30th district on Monday, shortly after Crockett launched a campaign for Senate. "She’s the baddest sister out there," Haynes, the pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church, said at a Senate kickoff event for Crockett. Haynes is likely to have an advantage in the race thanks to his alliance with Crockett, who frequently attends Friendship-West
Democrats can now add a major city in Donald Trump’s home state — and one set to host his future presidential library — to its list of off-cycle election wins. In a Tuesday runoff, Miamians elected Eileen Higgins as mayor, the first woman in the city’s history to hold the job and the first Democrat in 28 years. Higgins, a former county commissioner, defeated Republican Emilio González, an ex-city manager who had the endorsement of Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis. Though the race and the job of mayor are nominally nonpartisan, the election generated sizable interest from national Democrats and Republicans. Higgins’ win adds to the slew of victories

In the aftermath of the massive Feeding Our Future scandal and broader allegations of systemic fraud in Minnesota’s social programs, a troubling theme has emerged: accusations of racism repeatedly used to deflect scrutiny, intimidate investigators and stall accountability.
Rumors and reports of fraud in Minneapolis, primarily within the city’s exploding Somali community, have been circulating for at least a decade, but criticism of the fraud has been largely dismissed by elected Democrats as "racist" or being underpinned by animosity toward foreigners. News stories focused on Somali fraudsters in recent years were shot down as "racist."
New York City’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has said he may arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents if he determines they are breaking the law.
During an interview with MSNOW Senior Political and National Reporter Jacob Soboroff, Mamdani was asked about how he intends to follow through on his promise to help block President Trump’s policy of mass deportation of illegal aliens residing in New York City.
Here is a transcript of the exchange:
Nearly five years after two pipe bombs turned up outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters on Jan. 6, 2021, the FBI finally made an arrest earlier this month. Brian J. Cole Jr., a 30-year-old from Woodbridge, Virginia, now faces federal charges for transporting an explosive device across state lines with the intent to kill and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosives.But new whistleblower disclosures shared with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) are raising serious questions about whether federal authorities have the right guy.
A “person of interest” in the Brown University mass shooting is in custody following an 11-hour manhunt — as witnesses revealed he shouted something before opening fire.
Two students were killed and nine others wounded in the attack on a final exam study session.
Witnesses said that the gunman shouted something, but revealed they were not sure exactly what. Detectives are still trying to figure out what the gunman said, authorities revealed.
It was also revealed that the gunman had a firearm with unique characteristics that helped cops tie him to the deadly shooting, according to NBC News.
However, authorities would not comment

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said the Brown University shooting was a result of President Donald Trump’s “dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country.”
Murphy said, “If you look at states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, California that have stronger laws, we have gun violence rates, murder rates, mass shooting rates that are two to 3 to 4 times lower than states that have loose gun laws. And many of the weapons that are used in our states for gun crimes come to our states from those states that have an ability for criminals and people with serious mental illness to buy weapons.
Twelve people have died – including one suspected gunman – after a terrorist attack on Sydney’s Bondi Beach targeted Jewish families celebrating Hanukkah, police have confirmed.
At least 29 people were injured in the mass shooting on Sunday evevning, including two police officers, while searches of the area continue after improvised explosive devices were found in a car near the scene.
A second suspected attacker detained following the incident is in a critical condition. New South Wales Police Force, who locked down the area and urged the public to take shelter, have said they will investigate whether there is a third attacker or anyone else linked to the atrocity.
Mark Kelly: unworthy of respect
14 replies
Among the first things I taught my new students at the beginning of every new school year was the difference between deference and respect. One defers to others because of their position of authority, regardless of whether they are honest, honorable, decent and capable. Respect, however, must be earned every day. We defer to others because of their positions and to a lesser degree, their accomplishments. We respect others because of who they are, because they’ve proved themselves worthy of our respect regardless of their positions of authority.
In the military, you defer to rank, but you respect those who don’t trade on it, or who fling their accomplishments
Two people were found dead Sunday afternoon inside a Brentwood home owned by director and actor Rob Reiner, multiple law enforcement sources told NBCLA. The LA Fire Department said a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old. LAPD Robbery Homicide Division detectives were assigned to the case. Several other LAPD officials said they were aware of the investigation but could not share any information. There is a large police presence at the home Sunday evening. LAFD paramedics were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:30 p.m. Within a few
