CRIME WAVE Surge: FBI and Nypd Race to Stop Border Chaos
— Federal agents are cracking down on violent gangs as crime surges across the country. The FBI now has over 250 open cases tied to the “764” criminal network. Police are also hunting suspects in attacks on officers and solving high-profile murders, like a pastor found dead in Arizona. Violent crime is a growing threat for many American families.
The NYPD is under fire after sharing a Palestinian woman’s sealed arrest record with ICE. This move has sparked debate about how local police should work with federal immigration officials. At the same time, ICE is stepping up efforts against migrant networks while critics slam the Biden administration over weak border security.

UK’S MIGRATION SURGE: Alarming Population Boom by 2032
— The UK’s population could hit 72.5 million by 2032, mostly due to migration, says the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The current count is about 69 million, but exact numbers are tricky because of undocumented residents. Between 2022 and 2023, births and deaths will balance at 6.8 million each, making migration the sole growth driver.
ONS predicts ten million immigrants will arrive long-term while five million will leave, leading to a net gain of five million through migration alone. Population growth from 2022 to 2032 is expected at 7.3%, up from the last decade’s rate of 6.1%. A “high migration” scenario suggests half a million net arrivals annually past 2028 could push the population close to 79 million by 2042.
Migration Watch Chairman Alp Mehmet criticized ONS’s view that net migration will drop without policy changes. He warned of economic impacts and noted a decline in the indigenous white British population percentage from over 95% in 1991 to just above three-quarters today. Many citizens feel immigration levels are too high and express concern over this issue.
Nigel Farage called immigration Britain’s most urgent problem, blaming both major parties for poor management. He emphasized that neither has effectively addressed public worries about rising immigration numbers and
SUPREME COURT’S Bold Move to Protect America from China-Owned Apps
— The U.S. SUPREME COURT has upheld a law allowing the government to ban TikTok unless it’s sold by its Chinese parent company. This decision addresses concerns over data privacy and national security linked to the popular app. Millions of American users are affected as lawmakers push for tougher rules on foreign-owned social media platforms.
The law emerged from fears that China could access sensitive personal data of American users through TikTok. Supporters see this ruling as a win for privacy and security, while critics worry about job losses and restricted free speech. The decision aligns with increased scrutiny on foreign tech companies in the U.S.
TikTok has been urged to consider selling or restructuring to ease these concerns, which could impact other tech firms with foreign connections. This ruling may lead to big changes in how tech companies are owned and operate under U.S. laws, sparking talks about future compliance strategies within the industry.

TRUMP’S Surge: Why Hispanic Voters Are Embracing Him
— CBS News Executive Director of Elections and Surveys, Anthony Salvanto, highlighted Donald Trump’s rising support among Hispanic neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Despite Trump’s past rhetoric, many Hispanics feel he isn’t targeting them negatively. This perception is shifting some Latino voters toward Trump.
A poll revealed that two-thirds of surveyed Latinos believe Trump wasn’t referring to them when discussing immigrants. Additionally, half of foreign-born Latinos shared this sentiment. These findings suggest a growing acceptance of Trump among Hispanic communities.
While Latinos predominantly lean Democrat, Trump’s messaging on the economy resonates with many in this demographic. His approach appears to offer a sense of belonging similar to that extended to white voters. This strategy could be pivotal for his future campaigns as he continues to engage with diverse voter groups.

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.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S Secretive Move: Illegal Immigrants Relocated OUT Of California
— The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is moving illegal immigrants from California’s southern border to other states. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond says this strategy avoids street releases, which could harm optics before the November election. Desmond noted that about 155,000 migrants were released in San Diego from September 2023 through June.
Migrants used to be dropped off at the Iris Avenue train station in San Diego. Now, three buses take them daily to Yuma, Arizona. Additionally, three to four flights each week move illegal immigrants from San Diego to McAllen, Texas, where facilities can handle more people.
Desmond criticized the federal government’s actions as an attempt to hide the situation rather than tackle it directly by resuming street releases. He believes this decision is politically motivated and likely influenced by upcoming elections. Fox News Digital reached out for comments from Border Patrol but has not received a response yet.
Before these relocations began, mass migrant releases overwhelmed San Diego’s services and resources. Some migrants also arrive by boat along California’s coastlines, adding further strain on local infrastructure and resources.

CENSUS DATA Flawed: Transgender Numbers Grossly Inflated, ONS Admits
— The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has admitted potential bias in the 2021 Census regarding transgender identification. Deputy Director Mary Gregory stated that the question might have led to an overestimation of trans-identified individuals.
Gregory highlighted that people with lower English proficiency may have mistakenly identified as transgender. This error could significantly affect areas with higher non-English-speaking populations.
Oxford University analysis supports this claim, showing non-native speakers were ten times more likely to be listed under “unspecified gender.” Although they make up only 10% of adults, they account for 29% of those listed as transgender.
The accuracy of these figures is crucial for government resource allocation. The 2021 Census was the first to include a question about gender identity, making these findings particularly significant.
BRITISH Election Sees NEW Voter ID LAW in Action
— Polling stations across the UK opened this morning at 7 AM and will close at 10 PM. Ipsos pollsters are gathering exit poll data to provide an early picture of the election results. Detailed seat-specific results will only be available in the early hours of Friday.
British and Irish citizens, along with some Commonwealth immigrants, are eligible to vote if they are over 18. This election marks the first time voters must show legal identification to cast their ballots in person, a measure aimed at reducing voter fraud. The Electoral Commission has approved 22 forms of ID, including passports and driving licenses.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty were seen voting at Kirby Sigston Village Hall today. Reporting on the election is restricted while polling places are open, with broadcasters banned from discussing outcomes or publishing polls until voting ends. Violating these rules can result in imprisonment for news editors.
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’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 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.
ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR: Civilian Casualties Plummet Amid NEW IDF Strategy
— An Associated Press analysis reveals a sharp decline in the proportion of Palestinian women and children killed in the Israel-Hamas war. This trend aligns with Israel’s changing battlefield tactics, contradicting Gaza Health Ministry’s public statements. In October, civilian casualties were above 60%, but by April, they had dropped below 40%.
The U.N. and much of the media overlooked this shift for months, while the Hamas-linked Health Ministry did not correct the record. Israel continues to face international criticism over civilian casualties in Gaza amid an ongoing conflict that shows no signs of ending soon.
Gabriel Epstein from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy noted that this decline is due to changes in Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) actions. Despite recent airstrikes killing dozens of civilians, Epstein emphasized that these facts should inform public debate on the issue.
Israel initially responded to Hamas’ October attack with intense aerial bombardment aimed at destroying Hamas positions in Gaza. This strategy paved the way for ground troops supported by tanks and artillery to enter densely populated areas, leading to high initial civilian casualties.
REFORM UK BLASTS Conservatives For Immigration Failure
— Reform UK launched its general election campaign by highlighting the Conservative Party’s failure to control immigration. The party, formerly known as Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party, displayed a graph showing a dramatic rise in immigration since 1997.
The Conservatives have been criticized for increasing net migration to one million every 18 months despite promising to reduce it. Reform UK’s campaign material questions who voted for mass migration and accuses both the Conservatives and Labour of failing the public on this issue.
Party leader Richard Rice emphasized that voting for either major party results in socialism, higher taxes, lower wages, and increased immigration. He argued that both parties have governed similarly despite their differing rhetoric.
Rice and deputy Ben Habib criticized decades of decline under both Labour and Conservative governments. They pointed out record-high taxes, government spending, waiting lists, debt levels, and poor public sector outcomes over the past 70 years as evidence of systemic failure.
REFORM UK RISES: Public Discontent Over Immigration Policies Fuels Momentum
— Reform UK is gaining momentum, largely fueled by its firm stance against “unchecked immigration,” as stated by the party’s deputy chair. This surge in support comes in light of recent data from Ipsos Mori and British Future, a pro-immigration think tank. The figures highlight public dissatisfaction with the government’s management of borders, indicating a potential shift in the UK’s political landscape.
Despite Labour currently leading in the polls, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is outpacing the Conservatives when it comes to trust and policy matters. This could serve as an alarm bell for Tory politicians who have been at Britain’s political helm for two centuries. Ben Habib, Deputy Leader of Reform UK, attributes this shift to what he perceives as the Conservative Party neglecting their own voter base.
According to Ipsos Mori research, 69% of Britons express dissatisfaction with immigration policies while only 9% are content. Of those dissatisfied individuals, over half (52%) believe migration should be reduced while just 17% think it should increase. Specific grievances include inadequate measures to prevent channel crossings (54%) and high immigration numbers (51%). Less concern was shown towards creating negative environments for migrants (28%) or poor treatment of asylum seekers (25%).
Habib asserts that this widespread discontent signifies a historic realignment in politics
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.
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.
YOUTHFUL Hostility Towards Israel EXPOSED: What the Recent Polls Are Telling Us
— A survey conducted on December 13-14 involving 2,034 registered voters revealed a disturbing trend. Young people displayed significantly more hostility towards Israel than any other age group. This finding coincides with a rise in antisemitic protests on university campuses and major cities.
The poll also unveiled some seemingly contradictory responses among young participants. A substantial 73% agreed that the October 7 attack was an act of terrorism, while 66% concurred that Hamas’s intent was genocidal. Moreover, an overwhelming majority of 76% believed that Hamas had committed crimes against women, including rape.
Interestingly, young people seemed more informed than older generations on one particular issue — Palestinian support for Hamas. A majority of those aged between 18-24 (64%) believed that “Hamas is supported by the majority of Palestinians in Gaza”, compared to just 34% overall. This perception aligns with recent polls indicating broad Palestinian backing for Hamas.
Joel B. Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News and host of Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot reported these survey results.
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.
DEATH PENALTY On Trial: Americans Voice Unfairness, Report Unveils Shocking Shift
— The U.S. death penalty is under fire as more Americans express concerns about its fairness. This change in public sentiment is leading to the increasing marginalization of capital punishment in the country, according to a recent annual report.
However, it remains unclear whether this waning support will result in the end of capital punishment. While some experts anticipate its complete abolition soon, others predict a slow decline rather than an immediate vanishing.
In 2023, only 24 individuals were executed and 21 were sentenced to death. This marks the ninth year in a row with fewer than 30 executions and less than 50 death sentences. Only five states — Texas, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma and Alabama — carried out executions this year; the smallest number in two decades.
A Gallup poll from October disclosed that half of Americans believe capital punishment is unjustly applied. This level of doubt represents the highest since Gallup started surveying this topic back in 2000.
