The United States government is not appropriately addressing the threat posed by growing Chinese ownership of American land, according to a report released by the Heritage Foundation Thursday.
The federal government is woefully ill-equipped to track Chinese-owned real estate in the country, despite the serious threat these Chinese Communist Party-affiliated entities can pose to critical U.S. infrastructure, according to the report. The report calls on federal and state leaders to take action, such as increasing transparency and conducting more critical reviews of land purchases. Continue reading →
U.S. House Panel Debates Voting by Noncitizens, Which Is Already Illegal
U.S. House Republicans are promoting a bill to curb voting by noncitizens. Though noncitizens can vote in some local elections, it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.
Republicans on the U.S. House Administration Committee argued at a Thursday hearing that there is a need for legislative action to bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections — even though voting by noncitizens in federal elections is extremely rare and already illegal.
“American elections are for American citizens and we intend to keep it that way,” the chair of the committee, Rep. Bryan Steil of Wisconsin, said in his opening remarks.
House Democrats said Republicans were laying the groundwork to instill mistrust in voting ahead of the November elections… (Continue to full article)
China’s growing threat to U.S. national security in the crosshairs of Congress
House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability held a hearing on the explosion in the number of Chinese nationals entering the U.S. via the southern border since President Joe Biden took office.
Unfortunately, under the Biden administration, border patrol agents have been instructed that when processing Chinese nationals, they should conduct short, basic interviews that include only generic background questions instead of in-depth interviews.
The influx of illegal immigrants from one of the U.S. greatest rivals has raised national security concerns. In fact, as The Center Square previously reported, FBI Director Christopher Wray last month told attendees at an American Bar Association’s Committee on Law and National Security that China was the “defining threat of our generation.”… (Continue to full article)
Migrants Breach Fortified Border Barrier, March Through Texas Neighborhood
A group of nearly 100 migrants, including some young children, was observed marching away from the Rio Grande after breaching border barriers near the heart of downtown Eagle Pass, Texas. The migrants strolled through the city streets and were observed by residents who notified authorities of the breach.
One resident captured several photos of the large migrant group strolling through her neighborhood on Tuesday just as the Border Patrol arrived to make the arrest. The group managed to breach concertina wire installed along the Rio Grande by state authorities deployed to fortify the border under Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.
A Customs and Border Protection source, not authorized to speak to the media, says many in the group will likely be released to pursue asylum claims within the United States… (Continue to full article)
Biden Border Crisis Could Increase Number of Illegal Ballots Cast in 2024 — up to 2.7 Million
Do non-citizens vote in U.S. elections?
The answer, of course, is yes, they do.
A recent academic study based on surveys done for the Cooperative Congressional Election Studies showed evidence that non-citizens are voting in our elections in meaningful numbers. As many as 27 percent of non-citizens surveyed were registered to vote, and as many as 13 percent of them actually cast ballot… (Continue to full article)
Hey, Amigo, when joo get een to the US Vote for Biden
The endgame of the Biden border crisis is to disenfranchise American citizens by diluting their votes
So you would have to say in all honesty, that the Biden border crisis is a manufactured crisis. It’s not accidental or coincidental. It was done on purpose.
The question has been put forward–can this be considered election interference? Probably it can, but do you think that bothers the Democrats? If you do you are prone to delusion. Today’s Democrats lack any moral scruples whatever. Anything, no matter how raunchy or outright crooked, that will put their people in office is totally acceptable and is encouraged… (Continue to full article)
Full List of Democrats Who Voted Against Deporting Migrants Who Attack Cops
majority of House Democrats voted against a bill put forth by GOP lawmakers that would require federal law enforcement to detain migrants who have entered the U.S. illegally and face charges for assaulting police officers.
The bill, which is titled the “Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act,” was first introduced by New Jersey Representative Jeff Van Drew and backed by several other Republicans. It is among a series of legislation that the House GOP has vowed to bring to the chamber’s floor in the coming days in honor of National Police Week. Republicans said in a release on Wednesday that the bills “highlight our continued support for America’s law enforcement offices.
Biden plans executive order to shut down border once crossings reach 4,000 per day… …despite saying he needs Congress to act!
President Biden is planning executive action that would allow him to shut down the US-Mexico border once the number of migrant crossings reaches 4,000 per day, a source close to the White House told The Post Wednesday.
The order would match a provision in the bipartisan border bill that failed to pass the Senate in February , which gave the president authority to expel migrants when border crossings reached the same daily average.
“Just give me the power. I’ve asked from the very day I got into office,” he said. “Give me the Border Patrol, give me the people, the judges — give me the people who can stop this and make it work right.”
DC Hosted Voting Registration Training for Illegal Immigrants
Washington, D.C. , hosted an online training camp last month to help illegal immigrants sign up to vote in city elections.
Making good on new legislation granting illegal immigrants voting rights, even for those who have lived in the district for just 30 days, the city joined a handful of others in opening the vote to undocumented migrants.
The training PowerPoint , provided to legal watchdog Judicial Watch under a Freedom of Information Act request, said that some form of government identification was required to register.
The migrants will not be allowed to vote in federal elections, just city contests, according to the newly approved law….. (Continue to full article)
Biden Admin Releases New Deportation Rule That… does NOTHING
After waiting for the poll-watching Biden administration to announce a crackdown on illegal immigration, an immigration watchdog says what came instead was a meaningless P.R. stunt.
“It is more of an attempt on the part of the Biden administration, ahead of the election, to try to convince the American public that they’re trying to do something about asylum abuse.”
Biden administration preparing to hand out 10K migrant ID cards in several US cities
The Biden administration hopes to dispense thousands of ID cards to migrants in the coming weeks as part of an effort to update the documentation that US government agencies provide illegal border-crossers.

The program aims to “modernize documentation provided to some noncitizens,” according to ICE, which notes that the cards are only intended for use by Department of Homeland Security agencies — such as ICE, Customs and Border Protection and Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Nearly 8 million migrants have crossed the southern border into the US since President Biden took office, including more than 189,000 individuals in March… (Continue to full article)

Ex-DHS chief calls for reinstating ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy
Former Trump administration acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said President Joe Biden should reinstate the “Remain in Mexico” policy and use other measures to turn back migrants at the border, calling the current situation a crisis that has gone unaddressed for too long.
He also recommended invoking presidential authority under Section 212(f) to expel migrants due to an “emergency” at the border.
The comments came as more than a dozen Democratic members of Congress sent a letter urging Biden to secure the U.S.-Mexico border amid ongoing large numbers of migrant crossings.
Nearly every day since September, hundreds of migrants from China, Colombia and other countries have wiggled through openings in the border wall with Mexico and walked dirt trails to surrender to U.S. agents and seek asylum. Some days, more than 1,000 arrive in the boulder-strewn mountains near San Diego alone… (Continue to full article)
“Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus – the bureaucracy, the police, the military.” ~ Simone Weil, French philosopher
We are caught in a vicious cycle of too many laws, too many cops, and too little freedom.
It’s hard to say whether we’re dealing with a Kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves), a Kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American citizens), or a Nanny State Idiocracy.

Hell represents many things to different people and religions, everything from perpetual torment to a lake of fire, or to the total absence of good or light. One thing is for sure, it is a place of our own making and design. We build it with every deed and thought and action. Hell is not a bad place, it is the absence of anything good; our every action and thought makes it a very special and personal place, created by and tailored foreach of us. Many religious texts, including the Bible tell us that we are responsible for our thoughts and actions. Each has a consequence, and those that go unrepented create what we call Hell.
“It was Hell on earth.” “War is Hell…” “I’m going through Hell…”
This commentary is titled “A Season in Hell.” Season in this case is a period of time, much like spring, summer, fall, and winter; often used as metaphors for our changing ecological, political, social, and economic climates. The similes extend to our republic as well. Continue reading →
As I watch Biden and his people in action, moving to break every law they can in pursuit of their illiberal, anti-liberty, anti-American agenda, once more I am stunned by the relative, comparable inaction from the ranks of all who profess to be patriots and defenders of said liberty and the rights of their countrymen. As is so often remarked by many pundits, “Our Founders would already be shooting by now”.
What a disgrace we have in the ranks of today’s Republican Party, as they are a massive part of the problem, too often “going along to get along” and compromising away one more piece of liberty after the next. How any of the statist, globalist Republicans-In-Name-Only still call themselves “American” with a straight face is beyond me. Continue reading →
Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson sat down for a three-hour-plus discussion on the Joe Rogan Show last week, covering everything from UFOs, to religion and artificial intelligence. But perhaps the most important topic they covered was the insidious and dangerous role played by the US regime’s intelligence agencies in America.
Specifically, Carlson suggested the CIA continues to lobby for keeping the JFK files secret, possibly because the CIA had a role in the assassination. Tucker also brought up how the FBI’s second-in-command was responsible for taking down Richard Nixon. Carlson described how intelligence agencies hold immense power within Congress because members of Congress – who are generally disreputable people with many secrets – are terrified of being blackmailed. After all, in a post-Patriot Act world of nearly unrestrained spying by the US regime, there is no privacy in America. Continue reading →
Douglas B. Hegdahl, 77, is one of the unsung heroes of the Vietnam War
Hegdahl, now 77, secretly memorized the names of 256 American servicemen held prisoner in Vietnam, allowing them to be reclassified from MIA to POW years before the war ended
The captured US Navy sailor known to his North Vietnamese guards as ‘The Incredibly Stupid One‘ had a sneaky trick up his sleeve.
Navy sailor Douglas B. Hegdahl survived for two years in the infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison by posing as an illiterate fool
During the Vietnam War, Seaman Apprentice Douglas B. Hegdahl survived for two years in the infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison by posing as an illiterate fool, while secretly memorizing the names of 256 American servicemen held there.
Memorized to the tune of ‘Old MacDonald Had a Farm’, the list of names likely saved many lives, by confirming the men were still alive and putting immense pressure on the North Vietnamese to release them at the war’s end.
Hegdahl, now 77, is living quietly in San Diego, retired after an illustrious career spent teaching at the US Navy SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) School at Naval Base Coronado.
A family member told DailyMail.com he is ‘not really interested in attention in general’ and didn’t wish to speak publicly about his harrowing war experience.
But Hegdahl is one of the great unsung heroes of the Vietnam War, and a legend among fellow veterans and former POWs. THIS is his remarkable tale of survival… Continue reading →
Pfizer has agreed to settle more than 10,000 lawsuits alleging it it of hiding the cancer risks of its heartburn drug Zantac.
The financial details have not been revealed but pharma rival Sanofi agreed to pay more than $100million to resolve 4,000 Zantac-cancer claims last nonth.
The over-the-counter pill was pulled in the US in 2020 after animal studies found a key ingredient released ‘probable human carcinogens’.
Pfizer was the primary manufacturer of Zantac from 1998 to 2006, when several suits claim it should have known that the drug was contaminated with NDMA. Continue reading →
A border patrol agent has claimed that it’s cartels who are in control of the US-Mexico border.

I preface this commentary with an expiation for frequently using coarse language and its use in the title. Unfortunately, it’s the one word that encapsulates and concisely captures the essence of my feelings about most governmental, political, social, and economic implications. I don’t want to seem erudite or elite. I am an auto-didactic polymath, committed to the fundamentals of this republic.
I’ve been asked to be more circumspect with my selection of expletives. I will therefore use my acumen with our language and find appropriate expressions going forward and only use imprecation judiciously; as needs must.
If my use of objectionable or offensive words causes you annoyance, I apologize. It is never my intent to aggrieve anyone, I only wish to open closed minds to alternatives and possibilities. Sometimes linguistic shock is the only arrow in the quiver to get the job done. It’s been my experience that when people are shocked by uncomfortable words or deeds, they are often in need of a few disconcerting inferences to awaken them to the harsh realities of a boorish world.
Am I not allowed the same latitude as our government by the first amendment? I don’t misrepresent events or facts intentionally to deceive as they do; my ethics and morals forestall hypocrisy. So, in deference to your sensitivity, I’ll tailor my language to accommodate this request.
I find most of what our government does and says quite repugnant, yet entreaties to stop, go unattended, but I will endeavor to persevere, being more aware of my prose.

It should come as no surprise that colleges and universities, big and small, continue to have their leftist bent on full display. This should be a somber warning to those parents who are considering sending their kids to some of these schools for “higher education.” You’d be better off sending the kids to a vocational school to learn a trade of some kind. Most colleges and universities do not provide real education. They, like most K-12 public schools, provide leftist indoctrination, because the true intent is not to educate but to indoctrinate the kids in a leftist worldview, which they will pass on to their kids.

It’s extremely troubling to witness the current ascendancy of anti-Semitism in America, a nation that is supposedly founded on the First Amendment principles of freedom of religion and free speech. No people should be treated the way the Jews have been treated in the past few months, for decades really, in modern times, not even Muslims. And yet here we are witnessing Arab Muslims and their supporters, self-proclaimed “Hamas”, screaming for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people and America too.
Many will toss my own extreme prejudices against Islam back at me, but that’s just fine. I have no problem with individual Muslims who truly live peaceful lives as nominal Muslims and have fully integrated into our society, although I still must note that per their ideology, they are only peaceful until they’re not – until a fatwa goes out to activate them from some imam or mullah, which is why I have long been opposed to allowing anymore Muslims into the country. I would also note that Islam is less a true religion, with only 14% of the Koran having anything remotely close to resembling spiritual concerns and the rest aimed at how to deal with the infidels, Christians, Jews and other non-believers; it is an ideology driven by its supremacy clause and aimed at subjugating and taking all within its line of sight and reach.

In his essay, Benjamin Franklin requested experts to find a way to make the farts ‘not only inoffensive but agreeable as perfumes.’
Engraved portrait of a younger Benjamin Franklin by HB Hall, 1868. From the New York Public Library.
In 1780s, Benjamin Franklin, who was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, wrote an essay that showed he had perfectly mastered the art of sarcasm. The topic of the essay was important scientifically – flatulence, or as many call it, farting – but it came with a touch of humor. The reason why he chose the amusing topic was a question posed by the Royal Academy of Brussels, which was formed in 1772. In its early years, the academy organized several intellectual contests for which it devised questions and awarded medals. The questions were believed to be intellectually important, having a ‘practical value.’ However, in 1799, the academy presented one mathematical question which Benjamin Franklin found ridiculous. In response to it, he wrote the essay, which is famously known as “To the Royal Academy of Farting” or “Fart Proudly.” Continue reading →
Award-winning journalist Alex Newman, author of the popular book “Deep State” and the new best-selling book called “Indoctrinating Our Children to Death,” says the UN’s quest for total tyrannical control of your life is coming sooner than you could imagine. Newman explains, “The bigger story here that people are not paying attention to is the UN is coming together in September . . . and they are having ‘The Summit of the Future.’ They are telling us they are going to bring out radical drastic reforms in the structure of the UN . . . and the power of the UN. Think of it as the biggest power grab ever at the global level.
The Secretary General of the UN (António Guterres) has put out briefs where he is calling for the UN to be the one world global dictatorship with him at the helm. In emergencies, the UN would have all power in emergencies and have all power to oversee emergency response. . . . Continue reading →
Stretch of wall in ancient Jerusalem vindicates the holy book’s account

A scientific breakthrough has exposed the truth about a site in ancient Jerusalem, overturning expert opinion and vindicating the Bible’s account.
Until now, experts believed a stretch of wall in the original heart of the city was built by Hezekiah, King of Judah, whose reign straddled the seventh and eighth centuries BC. Continue reading →
