When border czar Kamala Harris was put in charge of finding the "root causes" of illegal immigration, she visited Central America. At the time it seemed like it was mostly Latinos from Mexico and Central America walking across the U.S. border seeking "asylum." But as we've learned from Fox News' Bill Melugin, these asylum seekers are coming from all around the world — they're not walking here in caravans wearing matching "Biden Let Us In" T-shirts. Word is out that if you cross over from Mexico to the United States, you're in. That's why you have well-dressed refugees from Africa...

Nikki Haley went on Meet the Press on Sunday morning to trash Trump and distance herself from his 74 million voters. Haley is hoping that by slamming Trump on liberal television she will gain more base Democrat voters in the upcoming contests. During questioning, Haley told Kristen Welker that she absolutely trusts the New York City jury who awarded serial liar E. Jean Carroll $83 million for defamation in a rape case she filed but is not even aware of the season, month, or year it took place. As reported earlier – Here’s what you need to know about E....

Jeff Bezos chastised President Biden Saturday for blaming gas station companies for sky-high prices at the pump — declaring the commander-in-chief either employed “misdirection” or displayed a “deep misunderstanding” of economic fundamentals. In a Saturday afternoon tweet, the official presidential account wrote, “My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.” “Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product,” Biden added. “And do it now.”

In this excerpt from the just-published “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words” by Michael Pack and Mark Paoletta, the Supreme Court justice reflects on changes in his hometown, Savannah, Ga. The book is based on more than 30 hours of interviews Pack conducted with Thomas and his wife Ginni for the film of the same name; 95% of the book’s material is new, including this excerpt. Michael Pack: You have talked a little today about how life in the black community has not been improved by many well-intentioned social programs. Do you think, in some sense, it is...

America’s founders said our rights come from God. This is enshrined in our national birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence. And yet many of the intellectual elites in the West (including in America) in the last century or so have abandoned belief in the Creator. The theory of evolution helped grease the skids toward unbelief. In 1860, a year after the publication of Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species, there was the “Great Debate” in a building at Oxford University that now houses a science museum and collection. It is generally held that the evolution side won, and this...

Doctors and nurses should tell their patients to fight climate change, experts have said. Writing in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, they said medics should wield their 'trusted' positions in society to get people to take care of the planet. Academics wrote that health professionals could be 'effective messengers' and help encourage more people to fight climate change.

Carlson: They want you to know that defiance is the real crime.. Tucker Carlson updated viewers Friday on the status of Michigan restaurant owner Marlena Pavlos-Hackney, who appeared on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" earlier in the week to discuss how authorities were trying to have her arrested for operating her business during the coronavirus pandemic. CARLSON: Marlena Pavlos-Hackney is in jail. She was arrested very early this morning, before 6 a.m. by police, taken away in ankle shackles and wrist cuffs. One of the few people in this country who gets up really early to go to work because she really...

A cache of emails and other selected data purportedly from a laptop owned by Hunter Biden were published today by the New York Post. Ordinarily a major leak related to a figure involved in a controversy of Presidential importance would be on every front page — but the red flags on this one are so prominent that few editors would consent to its being published as-is. Almost no news outlets have reported the data or its origin as factual, and Facebook and Twitter have both restricted sharing of the Post articles pending further information. Here's why. When something of this...

hai villagers scouring a dark cave for bat guano, sought after by farmers as a nutrient-rich crop fertilizer, are undaunted by scientists’ suggestion that it could be behind a coronavirus that has infected more than 150,000 people worldwide.

In all fairness, Nancy Pelosi deserves to be chosen Speaker of the House by the Democrats. If they give her a hard time, perhaps we will add some Republican votes. She has earned this great honor!

The spending bill, which President Donald Trump signed into law on Friday, includes a section that makes it clear that employers may not pocket any portion of tips that diners leave for workers... Representatives for the restaurant industry, however, are also pleased. The National Restaurant Association said it never asked for employers to be allowed to keep tips in the first place. Angelo Amador, senior VP at the trade group, argued that most employers wouldn't skim tips even if they were allowed to... The language in the spending bill also effectively does another big thing: It allows employers to pool...

Bill Shine, former co-president of Fox News, is in talks with the White House about a post in President Donald Trump’s communications team, according to the New York Times. Shine, 54, resigned from Fox News in May amidst pressure when he was named in sexual harassment lawsuits related to founder Roger Ailes. Trump fired his communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, July 31, after 10 days on the job. Scaramucci and Shine know each other from Scaramucci’s days as a Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network host. Press secretary Sean Spicer left the White House communications corps last month. An email...

Today, reports are out that a former head of a Haitian government development agency allegedly committed suicide just prior to allegedly testifying against the Clinton Foundation before the Haitian Senate Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, and the media is largely silent.

Why are Sasse and Schumer meeting?

Newly released State Department emails help reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field, a decision that appeared to baffle the department’s professional staff. The emails further reveal how, after inquiries from ABC News, the Clinton staff sought to “protect the name” of the Secretary, “stall” the ABC News reporter and ultimately accept the resignation of the donor just two days later. Copies of dozens of internal emails were provided to ABC News by the conservative political group Citizens United, which obtained...

The Philadelphia School District will add two Muslim holidays to its calendar, placing it among the first in the nation to do so. In what would be an even rarer step, Mayor Kenney said Tuesday he also hopes to adopt the holidays for city workers. He has created a task force to determine how the change can be accomplished. A spokesman from the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington said his group is not aware of any cities that have included the holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, in their municipal calendars. "Philadelphia's history is based on being a place...

"This is the time for Israel to move forward, and we [will] offer the public a detailed plan which will propel Israel back on the right track," Lapid promised during an on-stage interview during the event. Lapid added that Israel currently faces a number of challenges - both internal and external. "We have to have leadership which knows how to deal with these challenges," he said. The former Finance Minister noted that Prime...

Comedic legend Jerry Lewis recently sat down for an interview with the Catholic EWTV outlet. The riveting interview, which aired Thursday, concluded with current events, including Obama, Trump, ISIS and even the refugee crisis. Lewis did not hold back, bashing Obama as a failed leader, smacking down the idea of importing more Syrians, and praising GOP front-runner Donald Trump for his "showmanship." Raymond Arroyo, host of “World Over,” asked Lewis about the horrific emergence of ISIS. Lewis first wondered aloud where our NATO allies were to tackle the “world” problem and then commented that they are “asking to be stopped.”...

"I just encountered" a fully loaded U.S.mail truck...windows wide open no driver in sight. After ascertaining there was no driver in the back of the vehicle, I waited ten mintes while calling the P,O,...to no avail. The driver as it turns out.. was in the local grocery store shopping. On his return to the vehicle,...I asked him about leaving the mail accessible and unattended. He shrugged it off. His nonchalance was a tad premature.. as is have photos of his unattended U,S,P,S, vehicle. Local law enforcement says they don't have jurisdiction. Well,.....at least he won't be delivering any vulnerable mail...
