JORDANIAN "TERRORIST" Captured: Border Security Fears Grow
— Federal authorities have identified Mohammed Hasan Abdellatif Albana, a Jordanian migrant, as a “known or suspected terrorist.” ICE Enforcement Removal Operations in Seattle reported his capture near Lynden, Washington. How he entered the U.S. is still unclear.
Albana was deported back to Jordan on November 15 after immigration proceedings. ERO Seattle stressed their commitment to removing noncitizens who threaten national security. “Our officers perform these removals dutifully,” stated ERO Seattle Field Office Director Drew H. Bostock.
Under the Biden administration, Border Patrol agents have intercepted 300 migrants on the terror watchlist at both northern and southern borders, according to Customs and Border Patrol data. This raises concerns about border security and national safety amid increasing migration challenges.
HISPANIC Voters TURN to Trump: Discontent with Biden’s Policies
— A recent poll from The New York Times shows 35% of Hispanic voters feel Donald Trump’s policies helped them, compared to just 22% for President Biden. This suggests a preference for Trump’s approach over the current administration. The data raises questions about President Biden’s absence from campaign trails alongside Vice President Harris.
Munoz emphasized growth and improvement in key economic areas under Vice President Harris’s vision, claiming it resonates with Latino voters. However, he acknowledged the challenge of effectively reaching these communities through traditional polling methods. Munoz argued that Latino voters seek candidates who promise change rather than maintaining the status quo associated with Trump.
Burman highlighted that only 20% of Hispanic voters rate the economy as excellent or good, while 80% describe it as fair or poor — indicating dissatisfaction with current economic conditions. Despite this, Munoz remained optimistic about influencing voter perception in the remaining days before elections. He stressed focusing on ground-level engagement over relying solely on polling numbers to sway opinions among Hispanic constituents.
BIDEN and STARMER UNITE on Ukraine: Bold Strategy Talks at White House
— Labour leader Keir Starmer met with President Joe Biden at the White House to discuss strategy for Ukraine. They did not focus on specific capabilities.
Starmer had planned to press Biden on sending British Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine but will now address it at the UN General Assembly.
Biden dismissed Putin’s warnings about arming Ukraine, stating he doesn’t think much about Putin and believes Putin won’t win the war. However, Biden is hesitant to provide long-range ATACMS missiles due to limited impact and stock concerns.
The leaders also talked about Gaza, with Britain recently halting arms deliveries to Israel over potential violations of international humanitarian law.
BIDEN DEMANDS Supreme Court Shake-UP: Sparks Intense Debate
— President Biden has called for major changes to the Supreme Court, sparking a heated debate. Co-host Jonathan Lemire discussed the topic with Senator Cory Booker, who downplayed the extent of the proposed reforms.
Booker argued that these changes are practical and have bipartisan support. He emphasized that the highest court should not have low ethics standards, pointing out that right-wing billionaires are giving lavish gifts to justices with cases before the court.
Booker also supported term limits for justices, similar to other major democracies. He stressed that courts should not be influenced by financial gifts from interested parties as this undermines democracy and delegitimizes institutions.
TRAGIC Migrant RESCUE in English Channel Exposes Border Crisis
— Around 60 migrants were rescued by the French navy and coastguard from a capsized inflatable boat near Boulogne-sur-Mer. Four migrants were found unresponsive and could not be revived. The rescue operation is ongoing, with concerns that more victims may still be in the water.
The migrant crisis on Britain’s southern shore remains unresolved, contributing to the downfall of the previous British government. The new Labour government has promised action but has yet to deliver any meaningful results.
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, criticized the new government for its inaction following the recent deaths in the Channel. He warned that he would hold them accountable just as he did with their predecessors.
People smugglers continue to exploit desperate migrants, leading to overcrowded and dangerous crossings. This year alone, 19 people have died attempting to cross the English Channel, while 14,000 have successfully made it across — a nearly 20% increase from last year.
DEMOCRAT Calls for BIDEN to Resign Over Health Concerns
— Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) called for President Biden to step down and resign on Thursday. She cited concerns from her constituents about the President’s age and health. “I doubt the President’s judgement about his health, his fitness to do the job, and whether he is the one making important decisions,” she stated.
Perez emphasized that Americans deserve a president who is fit enough to lead. She urged Biden to put national interest first by resigning. “The crisis of confidence in the President’s leadership needs to come to an end,” she added.
Later in the day, Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) also called for Biden’s resignation after a NATO press conference. Despite praising Biden’s record and accomplishments, Himes joined Perez in suggesting it was time for him to step down.
WELCH SLAMS Biden’S RE-Election: "Disastrous" Debate Performance Raises RED Flags
— Vermont Senator Peter Welch expressed concerns about President Biden’s re-election campaign in a Washington Post op-ed. While praising Biden’s past achievements, Welch highlighted worries about his recent debate performance. “We cannot unsee President Biden’s disastrous debate performance,” Welch wrote.
Welch noted that Biden appeared to freeze and struggled with his closing statement during the June 27 debate. He argued that these issues raise valid questions about Biden’s ability to defeat Trump in November. “The stakes could not be higher,” he added.
Despite understanding Biden’s desire to run again, Welch urged him to reassess his candidacy. “He saved us from Donald Trump once and wants to do it again,” Welch stated, but concluded, "In my view, he is not the best candidate.
NATO SUMMIT In DC: Biden’s RE-Election Doubts Shake Ukraine Support
— World leaders are heading to Washington, D.C., this week for a historic NATO summit as uncertainty rises over continued U.S. support for Ukraine. The summit marks the 75th anniversary of the alliance’s founding and comes amid skepticism about President Biden’s re-election chances and their impact on Ukraine’s war with Russia.
Key issues on the agenda include Ukraine’s success in its war with Russia, its future within NATO, and how the alliance plans to bolster collective defense. The U.S. has been a major supporter of Ukraine, providing significant aid, sparking debate over whether this level of support can continue under a different presidency.
Former President Donald Trump has not clarified what U.S. involvement with NATO would look like if he wins a second term, leaving questions about future American support for the alliance and Ukraine unanswered. Experts believe Trump is unlikely to pull out of NATO altogether but note that the alliance is taking steps to safeguard its support for Ukraine should Washington reduce its involvement.
BIDEN’S Naps Spark Fears About Fitness For Presidency
— In a recent interview, host Abby Phillip questioned President Biden’s fitness, citing reports of his need for naps during debate prep. Phillip asked if these accommodations should concern Americans about his ability to serve another term.
Senator Butler deflected the question, focusing on broader issues like democracy and economic growth. She argued that Biden’s need for schedule adjustments shouldn’t overshadow his accomplishments in office.
Phillip pressed further, emphasizing the 24/7 nature of the presidency and expressing alarm over Biden’s nap requirements. Butler responded by listing Biden’s legislative achievements, suggesting that his work speaks louder than his need for rest during debate preparation.
BIDEN’S Border Chaos: Record Crossings Spark Outrage
— President Biden’s border policy is facing intense scrutiny as illegal crossings hit record highs. Critics argue that the administration’s approach has led to chaos and insecurity at the southern border. Republican lawmakers are calling for immediate action to restore order.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed additional state resources to manage the surge. He stated, “The federal government’s failure leaves us no choice but to protect our own borders.” Local communities are feeling the strain, with many residents expressing concerns over safety and resources.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the administration’s strategy, claiming it aims for a “humane” approach. However, many believe this leniency only encourages more illegal immigration.
With midterm elections approaching, border security remains a hot-button issue. Republicans see this as an opportunity to highlight what they view as Biden’s failed policies and push for stricter enforcement measures.
Biden’s BORDER Policies are FAILING: Shocking New Data Exposed
— New data reveals that President Biden’s border policies are not working. The number of illegal crossings has skyrocketed, causing major concerns. Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed, and many believe the administration is not doing enough to secure the border.
Critics argue that Biden’s approach is too lenient and invites more illegal immigration. They say stronger measures are needed to protect the country and ensure safety. This includes building more barriers and increasing patrols along the border.
Supporters of stricter policies claim that current strategies fail to address the root problems. They emphasize that without tougher enforcement, illegal crossings will continue to rise, putting a strain on resources and communities near the border.
The debate over how to handle immigration continues, but one thing is clear: Biden’s current policies are facing serious challenges. Many Americans want change and demand action to secure the nation’s borders effectively.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION Under Fire for Ignoring Israeli Victims
— The Biden-Harris Administration’s recent fact sheet on conflict-related sexual violence has sparked controversy. The document highlights victims in various countries but omits Israeli victims and Palestinian terrorists’ crimes on October 7.
Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Dan Goldman (D-NY) have voiced their concerns, sending a letter to the White House. They criticized the exclusion of sexual violence committed by Hamas against Israelis from the fact sheet.
Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a screening of Sheryl Sandberg’s film Screams Before Silence, which documents these atrocities. This omission is particularly embarrassing for Democrats following Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s primary defeat this week.
BIDEN’S Border Failure: Communities Suffer Amid Migrant Surge
— President Biden’s border policy is under scrutiny as a new wave of migrants arrives at the southern border. Border Patrol agents report an unprecedented surge, straining resources and personnel.
Republican leaders criticize the administration for what they call a “failed approach” to immigration. Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated, “The federal government must take immediate action to secure our borders.”
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insists the administration is handling the situation effectively. However, many conservatives argue that current policies encourage illegal crossings.
The debate over border security continues to heat up as communities near the border feel the impact. Calls for stricter enforcement and policy changes grow louder from Republican lawmakers and citizens alike.
Biden’s BORDER Crisis: SHOCKING Surge in Illegal Crossings Alarms Americans
— The border crisis under President Biden has reached alarming levels. New data shows a shocking surge in illegal crossings, leaving many Americans concerned. The situation at the southern border is deteriorating, with record numbers of migrants attempting to enter the country.
Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed as they try to manage the influx. Many believe that Biden’s policies are too lenient and encourage more illegal immigration. Critics argue that stronger measures are needed to secure the border and protect American citizens.
Local communities near the border are feeling the impact firsthand. Increased crime rates and strained resources have residents worried about their safety and well-being. Many are calling for immediate action to address these pressing issues before they worsen further.
As this crisis continues, it’s clear that a change in strategy is necessary. Americans want effective solutions that will restore order and security at our borders, ensuring a safer future for everyone involved. The time for decisive action is now, before things spiral out of control even more dramatically than they already have.
BIDEN’S Border Policy Disaster: Record Migrant Surge Sparks Outrage
— The Biden administration’s border policies are facing renewed scrutiny as record numbers of migrants overwhelm U.S. border facilities. Critics argue that the administration’s lenient stance has encouraged illegal crossings, leading to chaos and insecurity.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported over 250,000 encounters in September alone, a historic high. This surge has strained resources and raised concerns about national security and public safety.
Republican lawmakers are calling for immediate action to secure the border. “Our communities are at risk,” said Senator Ted Cruz, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement measures.
The White House has yet to present a concrete plan to address this crisis, leaving many Americans frustrated. As the situation deteriorates, calls for accountability continue to grow louder.
Biden’s BORDER Policy SHOCKS Americans: Crime Rates Soar
— President Biden’s border policy has led to a surge in illegal crossings. Many Americans are worried about the rising crime rates linked to this influx. Local communities are feeling the impact, and some residents say they no longer feel safe in their own neighborhoods.
Critics argue that Biden’s approach is too lenient and lacks proper enforcement. They believe this has encouraged more people to cross illegally, putting a strain on resources and law enforcement.
Supporters of stricter border control point out that crime rates have increased in areas with high numbers of illegal immigrants. They call for immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens from further harm.
The debate over immigration policy continues, but one thing is clear: many Americans are deeply concerned about their safety and the future of their communities under current policies.
Biden’s BORDER Crisis: SHOCKING Numbers Reveal the Truth
— The border crisis under President Biden is getting worse. New data shows a record number of illegal crossings. Many Americans are worried about the impact on our country’s safety and economy.
In August alone, over 200,000 illegal immigrants were caught crossing the southern border. This is a huge increase from previous months. Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with the surge.
Critics say Biden’s policies are to blame for this crisis. They argue that his administration has been too lenient on immigration laws. This has encouraged more people to try and enter the U.S. illegally, putting strain on resources and communities near the border.
Supporters of stricter immigration laws believe that tougher measures are needed now more than ever. They call for stronger enforcement at the border and policies that discourage illegal crossings altogether. The situation remains tense as America watches how this issue will unfold in the coming months under Biden’s leadership.
BIDEN’S SACRILEGIOUS Act at Florida Rally Sparks Outrage
— Bishop Thomas Paprocki criticized President Joe Biden for making the sign of the cross at a Florida abortion rally, calling it “sacrilegious” and a mockery of Catholic faith. This incident occurred as Biden stood beside Nikki Fried, who was criticizing Florida’s six-week abortion limit.
The sign of the cross is deeply revered in Catholicism as it symbolizes respect for Christ’s death and belief in the Holy Trinity. Bishop Paprocki argued that by using this gesture during an abortion rights speech, Biden blatantly contradicted these sacred beliefs.
On a diocesan podcast, Bishop Paprocki further highlighted that Biden’s public support for abortion directly opposes the Fifth Commandment, which forbids murder. His remarks have ignited widespread debate and backlash across various online platforms.
The bishop’s condemnation points to a broader conflict between political actions and religious convictions, stirring intense discussion among both supporters and critics of President Biden’s stance on abortion rights.
BIDEN’S Misleading Claims Caught On Tape at Fundraiser
— At a recent fundraiser, President Joe Biden inaccurately stated that former President Donald Trump recommended injecting bleach as a COVID-19 treatment. This claim has been proven false by various authoritative sources, including the official White House transcript.
Trump’s actual comments were about the potential of using UV light inside the body to combat the virus, which he discussed during a briefing on experimental treatments. These suggestions were not intended as practical medical advice.
This episode sheds light on the persistent issue of misinformation within political discourse. It emphasizes the critical need for public figures to maintain precision and responsibility in their communications.
The spread of such misinformation can have significant implications, underscoring why leaders must be held accountable for their words in order to preserve trust and factual integrity in public dialogue.
BIDEN’S Bold Threat: US Weapons Withheld if Israel Invades
— President Joe Biden recently stated that the U.S. would withhold weapons to Israel if they proceed with an invasion of Rafah. In a CNN interview, he clarified that this scenario has not occurred but cautioned against the use of U.S.-supplied arms in urban warfare.
Critics were quick to voice concerns over Biden’s remarks, citing potential threats to Israeli security. Notable figures like former Vice President Mike Pence and Senators John Fetterman and Mitt Romney voiced their strong disapproval, stressing unwavering U.S. support for Israel.
Pence labeled Biden’s approach as hypocritical, reminding the public of a past president’s impeachment related to similar issues with foreign aid. He called on Biden to stop making threats and to reinforce America’s longstanding alliance with Israel, echoing widespread conservative views.
Besides his statements about Israel, earlier this month Biden endorsed a significant aid package for Ukraine and other allies, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to global support despite facing criticism at home.
TIKTOK On The BRINK: Biden’s Bold Move to Ban or Force Sale of Chinese App
— TikTok and Universal Music Group have just renewed their partnership. This deal brings UMG’s music back to TikTok after a short break. The agreement includes better promotion strategies and new AI protections. Universal CEO Lucian Grainge said the deal will help artists and creators on the platform.
President Joe Biden has signed a new law that gives TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell the app or face a ban in the U.S. This decision is due to worries from both political sides about national security and protecting American youth from foreign influence.
TikTok’s CEO, Shou Zi Chew, announced plans to fight this law in U.S courts, claiming it supports their constitutional rights. Yet, ByteDance would rather close TikTok in the U.S than sell it if they lose their legal battle.
This conflict shows the ongoing struggle between TikTok’s business goals and America’s national security needs. It points out big worries about data privacy and foreign influence in American digital spaces by China’s tech sector.
BIDEN HALTS Leahy LAW: A Risky Move for US-Israel Ties?
— The Biden administration recently paused its plan to apply the Leahy Law to Israel, sidestepping a potential complication for the White House. This decision has sparked intense discussions regarding the future of U.S.-Israel relations. Nick Stewart from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has voiced strong criticism, labeling it as a politicization of security aid that could set a troubling precedent.
Stewart charged that the administration is overlooking crucial facts and fostering a damaging narrative against Israel. He argued that this stance could empower terrorist organizations by distorting Israeli actions. The public exposure of these issues, along with leaks from the State Department, points to political motives rather than genuine concerns, Stewart suggested.
The Leahy Law bars U.S. funding to foreign military units accused of human rights violations. Stewart called on Congress to scrutinize whether this law is being politically weaponized against allies like Israel during an election season. He stressed that any real concerns should be addressed directly and respectfully with Israeli officials, preserving the alliance’s integrity
By halting application of the Leahy Law specifically towards Israel, questions arise about consistency and fairness in U.S. foreign policy practices, potentially impacting diplomatic trust between these longstanding allies.
MEDIA BIAS Outrage: Olbermann Cancels NYT Subscription Over Biden Coverage
— Keith Olbermann, a well-known media personality, has publicly ended his subscription to The New York Times. He claims the newspaper’s publisher, A.G. Sulzberger, shows a bias against President Joe Biden. Olbermann announced his decision on social media, reaching nearly a million followers.
Olbermann argues that Sulzberger’s personal dislike for Biden is harming democracy. He believes this bias is why the Times has been particularly critical of Biden’s age and his administration’s actions, especially noting the president’s limited interviews with the paper.
Furthermore, Olbermann challenges the accuracy of reports from Politico regarding tension between the White House and The New York Times. His bold move to cancel his subscription and voice criticism underscores significant concerns about fairness in political journalism today.
This incident sparks broader discussions on media integrity and bias in political reporting among conservatives who value journalistic accountability and transparency in news coverage.
NYT SUBSCRIPTION Dropped: Keith Olbermann Slams Biden Coverage
— Keith Olbermann, once a prominent face on SportsCenter, has publicly ended his subscription to the New York Times. He pointed out what he sees as biased reporting on President Biden. Olbermann announced his decision to his nearly one million social media followers.
Olbermann directly accused A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of the Times, of holding a personal grudge against President Biden. He believes this resentment influences the newspaper’s focus on Biden’s age and results in unduly negative coverage.
The root of this issue appears in a Politico piece discussing tension between the White House and the New York Times. Olbermann suggests that Sulzberger’s dissatisfaction with Biden’s limited interactions with the press is prompting harsher scrutiny from reporters at the Times.
However, skepticism surrounds Olbermann’s assertion that he has been a subscriber since 1969 — a claim that would mean he started his subscription at age ten — raising questions about his accuracy and reliability in this controversy.
BIDEN’S Press Shunning: Is Transparency at Risk?
— The New York Times has voiced concerns about President Biden’s minimal interaction with major news outlets, labeling it a “troubling” evasion of accountability. The publication argues that dodging press questions could set a damaging precedent for future leaders, eroding established norms of presidential openness.
Despite assertions from POLITICO, New York Times journalists have refuted claims that their publisher questioned President Biden’s capability based on his scarce media appearances. Chief White House correspondent Peter Baker stated on X (formerly Twitter) that their objective is to provide thorough and unbiased coverage of all presidents, regardless of direct access.
President Biden’s frequent avoidance of the White House press corps has been highlighted by various media sources, including the Washington Post. His regular dependence on Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to manage interactions with the media underscores a growing concern about accessibility and transparency within his administration.
This pattern raises questions about the effectiveness of communication strategies in the White House and whether this approach might hinder public understanding and trust in the presidency.
BIDEN’S SHOCK Move: Sanctions on Israeli Military Could Ignite Tensions
— U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is considering imposing sanctions on the Israel Defense Forces’ battalion “Netzah Yehuda.” This unprecedented move could be announced soon and might heighten existing tensions between the U.S. and Israel, further strained by conflicts in Gaza.
Israeli leaders are firmly against these potential sanctions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to defend Israeli military actions vigorously. “If anyone thinks they can impose sanctions on a unit in the IDF, I will fight it with all my might,” Netanyahu declared.
The Netzah Yehuda battalion has been under fire for alleged human rights violations involving Palestinian civilians. Notably, a 78-year-old Palestinian-American died after being detained by this battalion at a West Bank checkpoint last year, drawing intense international criticism and now possibly leading to U.S. sanctions against them.
This development could mark a significant shift in U.S.-Israel relations, potentially impacting diplomatic ties and military collaborations between the two nations if sanctions are implemented.
ISRAELI HOSTAGES Caught in Biden’s Diplomatic Fiasco: The Unseen Consequences
— The fate of 134 Israeli hostages, believed to be held in Rafah, is pushing Israel towards negotiations for their release. This move comes despite President Joe Biden’s public caution against Israel’s intervention in Rafah, due to the potential risk to Palestinian civilians seeking shelter there. Intriguingly, it appears that the responsibility for these civilians falls on Israel, not Hamas — the organization controlling Gaza for nearly two decades and instigator of the October 7 war.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu had forecasted in mid-February that the war would end within 'weeks’ once an operation in Rafah was initiated. However, a lack of decisive action has worsened conditions in Gaza. On Monday, Biden seemingly simplified Israel’s decision by siding with Russia and China at the United Nations Security Council.
Biden permitted a resolution separating a ceasefire from a hostage release deal to pass through unchallenged. As a result, Hamas returned to its original demand — ending the war before releasing any additional hostages. This act by Biden was viewed as a significant misstep and seemed to leave Israel out in the cold.
Some suggest this discord might secretly please Biden’s administration as it allows them to publicly object an Israeli operation while covertly maintaining arms supply. If true, this would allow them to gain advantages from
ISRAELI HOSTAGES & Biden’s Diplomatic Disaster: The Shocking Truth Unveiled
— 134 Israeli hostages are reportedly held in Rafah, leading Israel to ponder negotiations for their freedom. This situation arises despite President Joe Biden’s public caution against Israel entering Rafah. He voiced concerns for Palestinian civilians taking shelter there. Intriguingly, it appears that the welfare of these civilians falls on Israel, not Hamas — the faction that has ruled Gaza for nearly two decades and sparked the war on October 7.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu speculated in mid-February that the war would end within 'weeks’ once an operation in Rafah started. However, persistent hesitation has worsened conditions in Gaza. On Monday, Biden seemingly made Israel’s decision easier by siding with Russia and China at the United Nations Security Council.
Biden approved a resolution separating a ceasefire from a hostage release agreement. As a result, Hamas returned to its original demand of ending the war before freeing any more hostages. Many view this action by Biden as a significant misstep and an abandonment of Israel.
Some theorize that this disagreement may secretly satisfy the Biden administration as it allows them to publicly resist an Israeli operation while discreetly maintaining arms supply. If true, this would let them profit from an Israeli triumph over Iran-backed Hamas without diplomatic or political repercussions.
TRUMP SURGES Ahead in Michigan: Biden’s Struggle to Secure Base Exposed
— A recent trial ballot in Michigan has revealed a surprising lead for Trump over Biden, with 47 percent favoring the former president compared to 44 percent for the incumbent. This result falls within the survey’s ±3 percent margin of error, leaving nine percent of voters still undecided.
In a more complex five-way trial ballot test, Trump maintains his lead at 44 percent against Biden’s 42 percent. The remaining votes are split among independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, and independent Cornel West.
Steve Mitchell, president of Mitchell Research, attributes Trump’s lead to Biden’s lackluster support from African Americans and younger voters. He forecasts a nail-biting contest ahead as the victory will likely hinge on which candidate can rally their base more effectively.
In a head-to-head choice between Trump and Biden, an overwhelming 90 percent of Republican Michiganders back Trump while only 84 percent of Democrats support Biden. This poll report underscores an uncomfortable situation for Biden as he loses a significant 12 percent chunk of his vote to former President Trump.
GAZA DEATH Toll Debate: Expert Challenges Biden’s Acceptance of Hamas’s Inflated Figures
— During his State of the Union address, President Biden referred to Gaza death statistics from the Hamas-controlled health ministry. These figures, alleging 30,000 fatalities, are now under scrutiny by Abraham Wyner. Wyner is a well-respected statistician from the University of Pennsylvania.
Wyner proposes that Hamas has reported incorrect casualty numbers in its conflict with Israel. His findings contradict many accepted casualty claims by President Biden’s administration, the U.N., and various major media outlets.
Backing up Wyner’s analysis is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who recently stated that 13,000 terrorists had been killed in Gaza since IDF intervention. Wyner questions the Gaza Health Ministry’s assertion that most of over 30,000 Palestinians who died since October 7 were women and children.
Hamas launched an invasion into southern Israel on October 7 resulting in approximately 1,200 fatalities. However, based on Israeli government reports and Wyner’s calculations, it seems likely that the actual casualty rate is closer to “30% to 35% women and children,” a far cry from the bloated numbers provided by Hamas.
Biden WARNED: Israeli Defense Leaders URGE Against Recognizing Palestinian State
— A group of Israeli defense and security leaders have issued a stern warning to President Biden. Their message is clear — do not recognize a Palestinian state. They believe this move could endanger Israel’s existence and indirectly support regimes known for sponsoring terrorism, such as Iran and Russia.
The Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF) sent this urgent letter on February 19th. They caution that recognizing Palestine would be interpreted as rewarding violent actions by Hamas, global terrorist organizations, Iran, and other rogue states.
Brigadier General Amir Avivi, founder of the IDSF, spoke to Fox News Digital about the situation. He stressed that it’s crucial for the U.S., at this juncture, to stand by its key ally in the Middle East and uphold American interests in the region.
In a rare display of consensus on Wednesday, Israel’s Knesset (parliament) unanimously dismissed foreign pressures to single-handedly recognize a Palestinian state.
TRUMP’S COMEBACK: Leads Biden in Hypothetical 2024 Race, Reveals Michigan Poll
— A recent poll from Michigan, conducted by Beacon Research and Shaw & Company Research, reveals a surprising turn of events. In a hypothetical race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Trump takes a two-point lead. The poll shows 47% of registered voters backing Trump while Biden comes close with 45%. This narrow lead falls within the poll’s margin of error.
This represents an impressive swing towards Trump by 11 points compared to a July 2020 Fox News Beacon Research and Shaw Company poll. During that time, Biden held the upper hand with 49% support versus Trump’s 40%. In this latest survey, only one percent would back another candidate while three percent would abstain from voting. An intriguing four percent remain undecided.
The plot thickens when the field is expanded to include independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and independent Cornel West. Here, Trump’s lead over Biden grows to five points suggesting his appeal remains strong among voters even in a wider field of candidates.
TEXAS BORDER Rally: Unleashing Patriotic Fervor & Standing Strong for Law Enforcement
— The “Take Our Border Back Rally” was a vibrant scene of patriotism and support for law enforcement. Media from across the nation flocked to this small ranch, which was alive with food trucks, vendors selling patriotic merchandise, and a stage featuring Christian music.
Attendees, many donned in red, white, and blue or displaying Trump-supporting gear, reveled in the music and speeches. They traveled from various states including Texas, Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico and New York to voice their demand for a secure border under a sea of flags supporting former President Donald Trump.
Treniss Evans — one of the event’s organizers — told Breitbart Texas that this rally aimed to back all law enforcement officers working along the border — both federal and state officials alike. The rally is set to remain stationed in Quemado without crossing into Eagle Pass city limits.
Evans made it clear that their group had no plans to disrupt law enforcement operations in Eagle Pass or impede local commuters’ mobility within the city. This declaration comes amid recent media focus on a seized city border park.
Is Biden’s DRONE ATTACK Response Just a ‘Checklist’ Strategy? Waltz Slams Administration
— In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Rep. Mike Waltz openly criticized the Biden administration’s handling of a recent drone attack in Jordan. This devastating event led to the loss of three American lives and left 25 others injured. Waltz, who holds positions on several House committees and has a background as a Special Forces commander, voiced his concerns about Biden’s strategy.
Waltz accused the administration of prematurely revealing its intended response to Iran, thus eliminating any potential element of surprise. His comments were in reference to Biden’s announcement on Tuesday where he assured that he does not seek a broader conflict in the Middle East. According to Waltz, simply telling Iran “don’t” is not an effective strategy.
The Florida congressman suggested a three-pronged approach: targeting IRGC operatives instead of just proxies, enforcing sanctions to cut off Iran’s funding sources, and supporting Iranian citizens demanding change. He expressed concern that Biden is merely ticking off boxes with ineffective strikes that target warehouses rather than directly punishing the Iranian regime.
Waltz called for a return to Trump’s policy of maximum pressure on Iran’s economy coupled with robust military action. He reminded readers that under President Trump’s leadership, attacks ceased when Iran-backed terrorists dared kill an American.
FREEBIES and SECRET Meetings: Biden’s Business Associate Spills The Beans
— Eric Schwerin, a former business associate of the Biden family, made some startling admissions during a House impeachment inquiry deposition on Tuesday. He confessed to offering Joe Biden free professional services and having multiple meetings with him.
In addition to these revelations, Schwerin disclosed his appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage board during Obama-Biden’s tenure. Coincidentally, Elizabeth Naftali, a Democrat donor who also purchased Hunter Biden’s art, was appointed to this same board after her acquisition.
Despite these disclosures, Schwerin maintains he had no insight into key foreign payments made to the Bidens. As former president of Rosemont Seneca Partners — a fund established by Hunter Biden that brokered profitable business deals in Russia, Ukraine, China and Romania — this claim raises eyebrows.
House investigators are now digging deeper into Schwerin’s involvement in these overseas business transactions and any knowledge or participation by Joe Biden himself. Visitor logs reveal that Schwerin stepped foot in the White House no less than 27 times during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.
SHOCKING Truth Revealed: MAJORITY of Americans Support Border Wall, New Poll Discloses
— A recent poll surveying 40,513 U.S. adults has revealed a surprising fact: half of the respondents are in favor of building a border wall. This majority includes not only typical conservative demographics but also groups such as black and Hispanic Americans, women, and independents.
The data shows that 45% of black Americans polled support the idea of a wall, compared to just 30% who oppose it. Hispanic support for the wall is at 42%, marginally outnumbering those against it at 40%. These figures could potentially cause concern for Democrats who have traditionally relied on these demographics for support.
The poll also reveals significant backing from women and independents. Among female respondents, supporters outnumber opponents by nine points (45-36). Independents show an even stronger pro-wall sentiment with an eleven-point lead (44-33). Support appears to be widespread across all regional demographics — even in the traditionally Democrat-leaning Northeast where backing stands at a surprising 49%.
Leading this wave of support is the South with over half (51%) favoring border wall construction. These findings could be game-changers in political strategies as they indicate broad-based endorsement for what has been primarily seen as a MAGA Republican priority.
HARRIS and BIDEN Storm South Carolina: A Cunning Strategy for 2024 Victory?
— Today, Vice President Kamala Harris is making waves in South Carolina. She’s the keynote speaker at the annual retreat of the Women’s Missionary Society of the Seventh District African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Harris plans to commemorate the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots during her address. In a parallel move, President Joe Biden will be speaking at Mother Emanuel AME Church in South Carolina on Monday — a place marked by a devastating racially-motivated mass shooting in 2015.
South Carolina has been a Republican stronghold, with Donald Trump securing victory in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.
The strategic visits by Biden and Harris hint at an ambitious attempt to sway this traditionally conservative state ahead of their potential run in the upcoming 2024 election.
UNJUST Imprisonment of Nicaraguan Bishop SPARKS Outrage in Biden Administration
— The Biden administration has expressed strong disapproval towards the Nicaraguan government over the “unfair” imprisonment of Roman Catholic bishop, Rolando Álvarez. The State Department is insisting on his immediate and unconditional release. Álvarez has been held captive for over 500 days in a notorious Latin American prison.
State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, voiced criticism against Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo for their handling of the bishop’s case. He pointed out that Álvarez has been isolated, deprived of an independent evaluation of his incarceration conditions, and subjected to manipulated videos and photos that raise concerns about his health.
Last February, Álvarez was sentenced to more than 26 years in prison after he refused to seek exile in the United States. Instead, he chose to remain in Nicaragua as a form of protest against Ortega-Murillo’s escalating suppression on the Catholic Church. His conviction followed after he turned down a prisoner exchange deal proposed by the U.S. State Department.
TRUMP’S Troubled Past: Biden’s Team Shifts Focus Ahead of 2024 Showdown
— President Joe Biden’s team is adjusting their strategy for the 2024 campaign. Instead of solely spotlighting the incumbent Democrat, they’re turning attention to former President Donald Trump’s contentious record. This move follows recent polls showing Trump leading Biden in seven swing states and gaining traction among younger voters.
Trump, despite grappling with multiple criminal and civil charges, continues to be a GOP favorite. The aim of Biden’s aides is to use his disputed record and legal allegations as a lens through which voters can view the potential consequences of another four-year term under Trump.
Currently, Trump faces four criminal indictments and is embroiled in a civil fraud lawsuit in New York. Regardless of these trials’ outcomes, he could still make a run for office even if convicted — unless legal contests or state ballot requirements prevent him from doing so. However, rather than dwelling on the outcome of Trump’s cases, Biden’s team plans to underscore what another term would mean for American citizens.
A senior campaign aide noted that while Trump may succeed in mobilizing his base with extreme rhetoric, their strategy will highlight how such extremism could negatively affect Americans. The focus will be on the potential adverse impact of another term under Trump rather than his personal legal battles.
EMERGENCY Weapons Sale to Israel: BIDEN’S Bold Move Amidst Foreign Aid Stalemate
— Once again, the Biden administration has greenlit an emergency sale of weapons to Israel. The State Department made this announcement on Friday, stating that the move is designed to support Israel in its ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken notified Congress about a second emergency determination that approves over $147.5 million in equipment sales. These sales encompass necessary components for 155 mm shells previously bought by Israel, including fuses, charges, and primers.
This decision was executed under an emergency provision of the Arms Export Control Act. This provision enables the State Department to sidestep Congress’ review role concerning foreign military sales. Interestingly enough, this move coincides with President Joe Biden’s request for nearly $106 billion in aid for countries like Israel and Ukraine being held up due to border security management debates.
“The United States remains dedicated to ensuring the security of Israel against threats it encounters,” declared the department.
OPERATION PROSPERITY Guardian: Biden’s Strategy Crumbles as Houthis Successfully Target Maersk Ship
— Despite the Biden administration’s strategy to deter Houthi attacks, it seems to be falling short. The Times of Israel has reported a missile strike on a Maersk container ship in the Red Sea. This marks the first successful attack since an international coalition started patrolling this crucial waterway just ten days ago.
The USS Gravely was quick to respond to a distress call from the Maersk Hangzhou, intercepting two additional ballistic missiles. US Central Command (CentCom) confirms there were no injuries and that the ship remains operational. The attack happened shortly after Denmark joined the coalition and Danish-owned Maersk decided to resume shipping through the Red Sea and Suez Canal.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin initiated “Operation Prosperity Guardian” on December 18 with support from ten nations against Houthi attacks on shipping routes. The Houthis aim is to cut off Israel’s Red Sea port of Eilat. However, this recent attack raises serious doubts about Biden’s strategy and its effectiveness in maintaining maritime security.
GAME-CHANGER or Political Suicide? House Republicans Ponder Biden Impeachment
— Under the guidance of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Republicans are contemplating the impeachment of President Joe Biden. This idea stems from numerous 2023 investigations into both Biden and his son, Hunter, who are accused of exploiting their family name for personal gain.
The decision to impeach could be a tricky one for Republicans. On one hand, it could resonate with their core supporters as payback against Democrats’ previous attempts to impeach ex-President Donald Trump. On the other hand, it might push away independent voters and undecided Democrats.
Calls for Biden’s impeachment aren’t recent developments. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has advocated for investigations into the president since he took office. With an ongoing inquiry and years worth of evidence gathered, Speaker Johnson might sanction an impeachment vote as soon as February 2024.
Nevertheless, this strategy carries significant risk. The evidence put forth by House Republicans against Biden seems vague at best, and initiating an inquiry doesn’t necessarily imply backing for impeachment itself — a point that 17 Republican House members from districts won by Biden in 2020 are eager to emphasize to their voters.
Biden INKS $8863 Billion Defense Act, SLAMS Congressional Oversight
— President Joe Biden has put his signature on the National Defense Authorization Act, green-lighting a hefty $886.3 billion in spending. This act aims to equip our military with the means to deter future conflicts and provide support for service members and their families.
Despite giving his approval, Biden raised eyebrows with concerns over certain provisions. He argues these clauses excessively limit executive power in national security matters by calling for more congressional oversight.
According to Biden, these provisions could force the disclosure of highly sensitive classified information to Congress. There’s a risk this could expose crucial intelligence sources or military operational plans.
The extensive bill, which covers over 3,000 pages, sets out a policy agenda for the Department of Defense and U.S military but doesn’t earmark funding for specific initiatives or operations. Additionally, Biden voiced his ongoing concern about clauses barring Guantanamo Bay detainees from setting foot on U.S soil.
US-Israeli Citizen’s TRAGIC Death: BIDEN’S Heartfelt Response to Hamas Attack
— On Friday, President Joe Biden extended his condolences following the death of Gad Haggai, a dual US-Israeli citizen. It is believed that Haggai fell victim to Hamas during their initial terrorist attack on October 7.
Biden expressed deep sadness over the incident, stating, “Jill and I are heartbroken... We continue to pray for the well-being and safe return of his wife, Judy.” He further revealed that the couple’s daughter was part of a recent conference call with families of hostages.
Referring to their experiences as a “harrowing ordeal”, Biden reassured these families and other loved ones. He pledged that efforts to rescue those still held hostage would persist. This story is still unfolding.
Biden’s BOLD Defiance of Supreme Court: The TRUTH Behind Student Loan Forgiveness Numbers
— President Joe Biden made a bold claim on Wednesday, boasting about his defiance of the Supreme Court’s ruling on student loans. During a speech in Milwaukee, he asserted that he had wiped out the debt for 136 million people. This statement came despite the Supreme Court rejecting his $400 billion loan forgiveness plan back in June.
However, this claim not only challenges the separation of powers but also holds no water factually. As per data from early December, only $132 billion in student loan debt has been cleared for a mere 3.6 million borrowers. This implies that Biden exaggerated the number of beneficiaries by an astounding figure – approximately 133 million.
Biden’s misrepresentation sparks concerns about his administration’s transparency and its respect for judicial decisions. His remarks further fuel ongoing discussions around student loan forgiveness and its ripple effects on economic aspects like homeownership and entrepreneurship.
“This incident underscores the need for accurate information from our leaders and respectful adherence to judicial rulings. It also highlights how critical it is to have open dialogues about policy impacts, particularly when they affect millions of Americans’ financial futures.”
UNSHAKEN BIDEN Keeps Hunter Close Amidst Impeachment Storm: A Bold Statement or Blind Love?
— President Joe Biden remains steadfast in his support for his son, Hunter Biden, despite the ongoing impeachment investigation into Hunter’s overseas business dealings. On Monday, the Bidens were spotted sharing a meal with friends before Hunter accompanied the first family on their return flight from Delaware on Air Force One and Marine One.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refuted claims that the administration was trying to hide Hunter by not listing him on passenger rosters shared with journalists. She underscored that it has been a longstanding tradition for presidents’ family members to travel with them, and this custom is not going away anytime soon.
Hunter’s public appearances in front of press photographers and reporters could signify President Biden’s readiness to openly back his son. This support is unwavering even as Hunter faces potential criminal charges and defies a congressional subpoena. Throughout his presidency, President Biden has consistently voiced pride in his son.
BIDEN’S Motorcade Shocked in Unexpected CAR Crash: What Really Happened?
— On Sunday evening, an unforeseen event took place involving President Joe Biden’s motorcade. As the President and First Lady Jill Biden were departing from the Biden-Harris 2024 headquarters, their convoy was struck by a car. This incident transpired in Wilmington, Delaware.
A silver sedan bearing Delaware license plates collided with an SUV that was part of the presidential convoy. The impact produced a loud bang which reportedly caught President Biden off guard.
Immediately following the collision, agents surrounded the driver with firearms at ready while members of the press were quickly moved away from the scene. Despite this startling occurrence, both Bidens were safely escorted away from the location of impact.
ALARMING DHS Revelation: 670,000 Border 'Gotaways’ in FY2023 — The Shocking Truth Behind the Numbers
— Fox News recently uncovered a startling revelation from officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). They disclosed to Arizona’s congressional delegation and House and Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees that an astounding 670,000 known “gotaways” slipped through the border in FY2023.
In addition to this alarming figure, lawmakers were made aware of a daily influx of approximately 5,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S. These individuals are handed off to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that aid them in reaching their final destinations. This rate could equate to nearly 1.8 million illegal migrants entering the country each year.
The DHS report also shed light on a record-breaking number of daily encounters by Border Patrol with migrants — over 12,000 in one day alone. This follows a record-setting year with more than 2.4 million encounters in FY23 and an unprecedented monthly high exceeding 260,000 last September.
When questioned about collaboration efforts with Mexico to control migrant flow at the southern border, DHS officials expressed concern for the “safety and security of noncitizens”. They highlighted risks these individuals often face due to dangerous travel methods like illicit train rides.
IGNORING the Call: BIDEN Snubs GOP’S Plea for Immigration Reform Discussion
— On Thursday, the White House confirmed that President Joe Biden has turned down Republican requests for a meeting to discuss immigration reform. The refusal comes amid a Senate deadlock over a spending deal for Ukraine and Israel aid. The deal is currently on hold due to disagreements over border funding. Numerous Republicans have called on Biden to intervene and help break the impasse.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended Biden’s decision, noting that an immigration reform package was introduced on his first day in office. She argued that lawmakers can review this legislation without needing further discussion with the President. Jean-Pierre also highlighted that the administration has already had several discussions with Congress members about this issue.
Despite these justifications, Republican senators held a press conference on Thursday afternoon urging Biden’s involvement in passing national security funding. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) insisted that resolution is impossible without presidential intervention. Jean-Pierre dismissed these calls as “missing the point” and accused Republicans of proposing “extreme” bills.
The standoff continues with both sides firmly holding their ground, leaving crucial aid for Ukraine and Israel in limbo. President Biden’s refusal to engage directly with Republicans over immigration reform could spark more criticism from conservatives who argue he is unwilling to negotiate on key issues.
URGENT: Biden DEMANDS Congress Approval for His Critical National Security Request
— President Joe Biden is pushing Congress to approve his vital national security supplemental request. The White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, and National Security Council spokesman, John Kirby, are addressing inquiries concerning this issue.
The press briefing was scheduled to begin at 2:45 p.m. EST. It came after Biden’s speech at the White House Tribal Nations Summit and virtual meetings with G7 leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Biden’s urgent call for action comes amidst a packed day filled with international diplomacy and domestic affairs. Stay connected for more updates straight from the White House.

BIDEN’S Last Stand: $1 Billion Weapons Boost To Ukraine Before Trump Returns
— The United States is sending nearly $1 billion in long-term weapons support to Ukraine. This move is part of the Biden administration’s plan to use remaining approved funds before President-elect Donald Trump takes office next month. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin called this coalition the most significant since the Gulf War in 1990.
This new package adds to a previous $725 million aid, which included counter-drone systems and HIMARS munitions. These tools have been vital for Ukraine’s defense against Russia, aiding both attacks and defenses. The U.S. has given over $62 billion in military aid during this conflict, focusing on advanced weapons and logistics support.
Austin stressed that this aid serves as a deterrent and boosts Ukraine’s military strength, showing its tactical value. This announcement is one of Austin’s last major speeches as Defense Secretary, highlighting the urgency to secure military backing for Ukraine amid questions about future U.S. foreign policy under Trump’s leadership.
The U.S.'s commitment aims to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty with ongoing military and diplomatic efforts while stabilizing the region through long-term support packages designed for future self-defense by Ukraine. Austin expressed confidence that global unity will lead to a positive outcome for all involved parties.
