Under Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, the Lone Star State has conducted its own efforts to independently combat illegal entry into the U.S., and recently made illegal entry into Texas a state crime. The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to permit it to cut a razor-wire fence the state of Texas placed along the Mexican border. The government has argued that the fence interferes with federal border enforcement activities and that the fence presents a safety risk to illegal immigrants crossing the border through the Rio Grande river, the Washington Times reported. The 5th Circuit...

Just when we thought the Idaho Senate couldn’t get any more left-of-center, two actions on Monday make us reconsider. One has to do with illegal immigration, and the other has the state funding abortions, transgender “medicine,” and social justice. First, immigration: Last Friday, when most in the Idaho Legislature took time off to honor the life of former Governor Phil Batt, a handful of legislators pushed through a resolution calling for amnesty for illegal immigrants! Sens. Treg Bernt, Linda Hartgen, Chuck Winder, and Reps. Judy Boyle, Chenele Dixon, Rod Furniss, Stephanie Mickelsen, Jack Nelson, and Jerald Raymond co-sponsored Senate Joint...

President Xi Jinping wants to parlay China’s success in brokering a diplomatic deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia into a more active role in global affairs. China should “actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system” and promote “global security initiatives,” Xi said on Monday in a speech to the legislature. That will add “positive energy to world peace and development,” he claimed. And in a blend of statecraft and blunt force, Xi spoke of turning the People’s Liberation Army into a “great wall of steel.” “We should comprehensively promote the modernization of national defense and...

A member of the same Virginia school board that came under fire for withholding information about students' scholarships has raised eyebrows by saying the Battle of Iwo Jima, a major US victory against the Japan in World War II, was 'evil' and should not have happened. The comments were made Thursday by Fairfax County board member Abrar Omeish, 28, in reference to the Day of Remembrance, a day of observance for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. The holiday occurs on the same calendar day as the first US landings on the island of Iwo Jima on...

Graham said, “Number one, there are 30 United States senators in Munich along with a big House delegation. Senator McConnell and Schumer both came.

I believe a decision will be imminent here when we get back to Washington that the administration will start training Ukrainian pilots on the...

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell on Friday told attendees at the Munich Security Conference that Republican leadership backs continued aid to Ukraine as it fights off a Russian invasion, despite voices within his party opposing continued assistance. "Reports about the death of Republican support for strong American leadership in the world have been greatly exaggerated," he said. "My party’s leaders overwhelmingly support a strong, involved America and a robust trans-Atlantic alliance. Don’t look at Twitter, look at people in power." The Kentucky senator pointed to himself, as well as Speaker or the House Kevin McCarthy and top Republicans on the...

Roughly one month ago, the White House answered one question we’ve been hammering them about for more than a year. Joe Biden drained nearly 200 million barrels of oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in a failed effort to keep gas prices low ahead of the midterm elections. Was he ever planning on replacing that oil? And how much would it cost if he does?At the time, Biden was saying that he would place the first order for three million barrels of oil for the SPR in February. That doesn’t happen overnight, so they opened up the process to...

Less than 24-hours after delivering the darkest, most toxic presidential speech of the modern era, the Commander in Chief is trying to gaslight America to believe he didn't say what it just heard him say. 'C'mon, look guys, I don't consider any Trump supporter a threat to the country,' he told reporters Friday. 'When people voted for Donald Trump - and support him now - they weren't voting for attacking the Capitol. They weren't voting for overruling the election. They were going for a philosophy he put forward.' Let's roll the tape back. Here's what the president asserted Thursday evening...
