BREAKING: House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner says all members of Congress have access to info on "a serious national security threat." He is requesting Biden "declassify all information relating to this threat so that Congress, the Administration, and our allies can openly discuss the actions necessary to respond to this threat"

China need not try to interfere with the 2024 election. Joe Biden has partnered with the Communist China owned TikTok. TikTok is a data mining operation masquerading as social media. Consumer Reports: A Consumer Reports investigation finds that TikTok, one of the country’s most popular apps, is partnering with a growing number of other companies to hoover up data about people as they travel across the internet. That includes people who don’t have TikTok accounts.ABC NewsA ban on TikTok in the United States or a sale of the app by its Chinese owner, ByteDance, will not resolve national security concerns...

“It’s not if they are going to attack, it’s just when they are.” That’s what Ohio’s Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said after attending the National Sheriffs’ Association Conference in Washington, D.C, held Feb. 3-6, according to the Journal-News. At the conference, FBI officials warned sheriffs from across the country about imminent terrorist attacks on the U.S. “There are people already here who have come to this country who hate us and want to kill us,” Jones warned. He’s on a mission to make sure his department is prepared. https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1755253062908665856/jOfqhKmD?format=jpg&name=small The new generation of terrorists is sophisticated.

Basically he is highlighting what is already happening, that we are already under attack, and that NOBODY is coming to help you when it all finally goes down.

More deflection, more excuses. The Biden regime has had three years to lock down the border and they simply refused to do so. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday morning to talk about the border crisis. “You have now been in your position for three years, and let’s talk about what’s happened during those three years. More migrants have crossed the border illegally last year than ever before,” Kristin Welker said to Secretary Mayorkas. “The data you cite is a powerful example of why we need legislation to fix what everyone agrees is a...

A new IRS inspector general report said the nation’s tax collection agency continued to give 19 contractors access to sensitive systems despite having background reports that were returned as “not favorable.” Despite having the unfavorable rating returned as recently as July 13, 2023, “These contractors still retained their access to one or more sensitive systems because the IRS did not take action to suspend or disable the contractors from the IRS’s systems, as required,” according to a report issued this week by the Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration. IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel — who took over the agency...

Sunday released the details of a long-awaited comprehensive border security bill, which also contains a substantial foreign aid component. The discussions, led by Senators James Lankford (R-OK), Krysten Sinema (I-AZ), and Chris Murphy (D-CT), come after months of negotiations with the Biden regime, seeking to address both the ongoing crisis at the U.S. southern border and foreign policy commitments abroad. The 370-page deal, according to Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, claims it reflects weeks of good-faith negotiations, balancing domestic concerns with urgent international aid needs. “As Ukraine runs low on ammunition to fend off Putin’s...

SNIPWhile the number of votes swayed by the leaked audio remains uncertain, two things are now abundantly clear: The recordings were fake, created using artificial intelligence; and US officials see the episode in Europe as a frightening harbinger of the sort of interference the United States will likely experience during the 2024 presidential election.“As a nation, we are woefully underprepared,” said V.S. Subrahmanian, a Northwestern University professor who focuses on the intersection of AI and security.Senior national security officials in the US have been gearing up for “deepfakes” to inject confusion among voters in a way not previously seen, a...

Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ REVEALED: Sixty-four (64) Executive actions Biden has taken to open the southern border and undo President Trump's actions to seal it, thereby creating the conditions for the border invasion. Here is the full list:

Former President Trump vowed to block the sale of U.S. Steel to the Japanese Nippon Steel Corporation if he secures a second term in the White House. “I would block it, I think it’s a horrible thing. When Japan buys U.S. Steel, I would block it instantaneously. Absolutely,” he told reporters Wednesday after meeting with the Teamsters union in Washington. Trump did not say how he planned to block the deal between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel. “We saved the steel industry. Now, U.S. Steel is being bought by Japan. So terrible. But yeah, we want to bring jobs back...

President Biden is in a pickle of his own making, and his efforts to deal with it are as idiotic and destructive as his open borders policy has been. Last month alone over 300,000 mostly military age men illegally crossed our border, with the Border Patrol tasked to easing their invasion and even making them sandwiches rather than detaining and deporting them. Texas governor Greg Abbott directed his National Guard to obstruct their passage by placing floats in the river at the border and installing barbed wire topped fences at Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas. He also spread the...

A constitutional crisis looms as states like Texas have taken it upon themselves to enforce our nation's immigration laws and protect our country from invasion. Earlier this week, the Biden administration demanded Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton give Border Patrol access to a city park on the Rio Grande riverfront, but the Texas National Guard continued to defend the state of Texas and, indeed, the United States, despite those threats. Since then, Joe Biden has been under pressure from the left to federalize the Texas National Guard so they can’t block U.S. Customs and Border Patrol from removing razor wire...

“Well, first, I’d be shocked. That would be a boneheaded move on his part—total disaster,” Governor Abbott said. “ ... “Whatever we’ve been building, the Biden administration is now trying to attack us because of it, and we will continue to do exactly what we’re doing to expand our denial of illegal entry into the state of Texas.” Gov. Abbott pointed out that state forces were already operating at the border and that he expects more forces to come to Texas from other state National Guards. “There’ve been about ten [states] so far that have sent National Guard or other...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Navy is starting to enlist individuals who didn't graduate from high school or get a GED, marking the second time in about a year that the service has opened the door to lower-performing recruits as it struggles to meet enlistment goals.

President Biden said Friday that he would use new emergency authorities to “shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed” if Congress passes a bipartisan immigration plan that the Senate has been negotiating...

@ThomasEWoods Texas is in the right constitutionally (in case that still matters to anybody). I've heard some people say this: since immigration per se is not mentioned in the Constitution (although naturalization is), then the relevant power rests with the states. Such people proceed to deploy this argument in defense of so-called "sanctuary cities." But if that argument can defend sanctuary cities, it can also and to the same extent defend the Texas move to try to staunch the flow of illegals coming through the southern border. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, after all. Now...

Down in Eagle Pass, Texas, is a 47-acre public park which sits on the Rio Grande and the U.S.-Mexico border. It’s called Shelby Park. And recently the state of Texas decided that it was going to take control of the section of border running through Shelby Park. The state of Texas directed the Texas National Guard and state troopers from both Texas and Florida (lol) to harden the border in Shelby Park. But also to take control of access to the park, which is now surrounded by fencing and razor wire. Why? To keep out federal officials. When members of...

Stephen Miller On The SCOTUS Border Ruling, The Bad Immigration Deal And Trump’s Deportation Plan. WHAT A PLAN! WORTH THE LISTEN

Something I did not know and I suspect many do not know, but it is NOT the National Guard at the Southern border but the state of Texas's own military! Texas has a military branch not connected with the Federal Government.
