Biden, Schumer Fund Border Defense In Spending Bill! Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Oman Get Border Funding, NOT The US (US Falls To 23rd In Global Happiness Ranking)

Biden loves to blame Republicans for the border crisis. Although
he has it in his power to close and secure the border, but won’t. It’s easier to blame the opposition, like “extreme MAGA Republicans.” Huh, I didn’t realize that as a conservative American I am considered extreme by the Biden Administration. Unfortunately, Biden, Schumer and Johnson only provided financial support for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Oman. In the form of $380 million. As the US falls to 23rd in World Happiness ranking. Based, in part, on Biden’s idiotic open borders policy.

A flotilla of migrant boats from Tunisia overwhelms an Italian island and tests Meloni’s policy

A flotilla of flimsy boats, crowded with migrants and launched from Tunisia, overwhelmed a tiny southern Italian island on Wednesday, taxing the coast guard’s capability to intercept the smugglers’ vessels and testing Premier Giorgia Meloni’s pledge to thwart irregular migration. Compounding
the political pressure on Italy’s first post-war far-right leader were vows by France and Germany to rebuff migrants who arrive by sea on Italian shores, and, in defiance of European Union asylum system rules, head northward to try to find jobs or relatives. Starting early Tuesday, the unseaworthy, overcrowded iron boats, came one after the other in what appeared...

Tunisian rapper El General was just 21 when his haunting, raw video Rais Lebled, or Mr President, went viral in late 2010. Standing
in a darkened, sewage strewn alley - festooned in graffiti - he ripped into the country's then dictator, Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali - in a way none had dared before. Born Hamada Ben Amor, the fiery young man's explosive song gave voice to the anger, frustration and despair of a whole generation. "I knew there would be consequences, which scared me due to my young age. I realised the danger of what I had done," he tells...

that Tunisia is being targeted." Saied denounced this year undocumented sub-Saharan African immigration to his country, saying in comments criticised by rights groups that it was aimed at changing Tunisia's demographic make-up.The amount of the announced transfers for undocumented migrants is higher than revenues of the vital tourism...

Astronomy Picture of the Day - A Meteor Wind over Tunisia

Explanation: Does the Earth ever pass through a wind of meteors? Yes,
and they are frequently visible as meteor showers. Almost all meteors are sand-sized debris that escaped from a Sun-orbiting comet or asteroid, debris that continues in an elongated orbit around the Sun. Circling the same Sun, our Earth can move through an orbiting debris stream, where it can appear, over time, as a meteor wind. The meteors that light up in Earth's atmosphere, however, are usually destroyed. Their streaks, though, can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant. The featured image...

Tunisia okays new constitution giving president unchecked power, in low-turnout vote

Monday’s vote came a year to the day after the president sacked the government and suspended parliament in a dramatic blow to the only democracy to have emerged from the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings. For
some Tunisians, his moves sparked fears of a return to autocracy, but they were welcomed by others, fed up with high inflation and unemployment, political corruption and a system they felt had brought few improvements. His opponents say the moves aimed to install an autocracy more than a decade after the fall of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, but his supporters say they were...

Tunis (AFP) – Tunisian President Kais Saied declared war Wednesday on food speculators amid a shortage of products such as wheat and semolina -- key staples in a country already mired in a political-economic crisis. Russia's
invasion of Ukraine has threatened supplies of basic foodstuffs, particularly wheat, which many Arab countries chiefly import from the two eastern European nations. Saied announced that he was launching a "relentless war on speculators and criminals", accusing them of seeking to "strike at social peace and security", in statement from the presidency. Saied had previously announced he was working on legislation introducing prison sentences...

Tunisia’s Central Bank is in “advanced talks” with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to obtain financial aid for the cash-strapped country, a senior banker has confirmed. Abdelkarim

The White Coat Waste Project, a taxpayer watchdog group, has provided The Gateway Pundit with new examples of Dr. Anthony Fauci facilitating cruel and unnecessary taxpayer funded experimentation on dogs — this time in Tunisia. Documents uncovered by the organization found that the National Institutes of Health division that is led by
Dr. Fauci shipped part of a $375,800 grant to the lab in Tunisia to infest beagles with parasites. The grant money funded a study published last month that detailed the horror inflicted upon the unlucky dogs. One of the tortures that the beagles were subjected to included locking...

Black people in the north African country suffer hardship and disadvantage, and many still carry the label of ‘liberated’ slavesMany within Tunisia greeted the news that 81-year-old Hamden Dali had won his two decade-long campaign to have “atig” removed from his name with little more than bemusement. But
for Dali atig – meaning “liberated by” – in his name was a painful reminder of his family’s heritage as former slaves. Dali, who lives on the island of Djerba, does not have a telephone. However, his lawyer, Hanen Ben Hassana, from the mainland city of Sfax, was clear: “You have to...

The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives has voted to fund efforts to "enhance the border security" of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Tunisia while moving to deny all funding to build walls, fencing or any other structures to enhance the border security of the United States. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her lieutenants have their
priorities. To them, borders on the other side of the world are more important than our own. On June 19, the House approved a massive spending bill. In an act of legislative polygamy, it "married" the appropriations bill for the Department of Defense to the appropriations bills for...
