GOP lawmakers aim to restore anti-Chinese Communist Party initiative gutted under Biden

By Philip Lenczycki | Daily Caller Republican lawmakers introduced legislation on Friday to resurrect a program combatting Chinese Communist Party (CCP) espionage that was terminated by the Biden administration. If adopted, the Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act will establish a “CCP Initiative” in the Department of Justice’s National Security Division to “curb spying” from Beijing on U.S. “intellectual property and academic institutions,” according to the bill first obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The CCP Initiative draws heavily from a similarly-named Trump administration program called the “China Initiative,” which the Biden administration ended in February 2022 after critics claimed it “fueled a narrative of intolerance and bias,” the DC...

Trump to send thousands of migrants to Gitmo after Biden considered doing exactly the same thing

By Jason Hopkins | Daily Caller President Donald Trump ordered his administration to send tens of thousands of illegal migrants to Guantanamo Bay to help aid in his large-scale detention and deportation operation. For more than two decades, the Cuba-based Guantanamo Bay Naval Base has been used to hold suspected terrorists. While speaking at a ceremony for the signing of the Laken Riley Act, the president revealed that he would also be ordering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DoD) to construct a facility at the base to hold as many as 30,000 illegal migrants in an area distinct from where suspected terrorists are currently detained. This is not the first time the U.S. has utilized Guantanamo Bay for migrant detention. The Clinton administra...

Biden-Harris place taxpayers on hook for $38.7M annually for DEI at DHS

By Robert Schmad | Daily Caller The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spends tens of millions of dollars annually on diversity-related expenses, according to a new report from the watchdog group Open The Books. American taxpayers foot a bill of roughly $38.7 million every year to employ 297 staffers conducting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work at HHS, with 247 of those federal employees making over $100,000 a year, according to government records analyzed by Open The Books. On top of that, HHS spends $29.4 million per year to keep 209 workers on payroll for its Office of Minority Health, which exists to “improve the health of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of health policies and programs that will help eliminate health disparities....

Social media erupts as Biden bites multiple babies dressed in costumes

By Julianna Frieman | The Daily Caller President Joe Biden skipped the candy and went straight for the baby Wednesday night when he appeared to bite multiple infants dressed up for the annual Halloween celebration at the White House. Viral video shows the president appear to chomp on a child wearing a chicken costume at the Biden family’s last trick-or-treat event at the White House. Theme music from the movie “Jaws” was heard playing as the baby, held by a woman wearing a long red dress, squirmed after Biden bowed his head and made contact. “President Trump is mingling with garbage men at his rally in Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is literally BITING BABIES at the White House Halloween Party,” X user @nicksorter wrote in response to the video. “WTF IS THIS TIMELINE?” ...

By diverting $641M to migrants, Mayorkas admits FEMA funds won’t last through hurricane season

By Thomas Stevenson | The Post Millennial If you want to know how hostile the global elite are to free speech, look no further than John Kerry’s recent speech to the World Economic Forum. Rather than extol the benefits of democratic liberty versus dictatorships and oligarchs, Kerry called the First Amendment a “major block” to keeping people from believing the “wrong” things. The former secretary of state and aide to the Biden-Harris administration told the sympathetic audience: “You know, there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc. But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out ...

Biden and Harris’ response to Hurricane Helene is part of a disturbing pattern

By Matt Vespa  | Town Hall Hurricane Helene dissipated over the weekend, but not before smashing into Florida’s Big Bend as a category four storm, inflicting “biblical” damage across the southern United States. After landfall, the heavy rains led to catastrophic flooding that’s killed almost 100 people so far. In the Newport area of Tennessee, about 60 miles outside Knoxville, residents were forced to scramble after the Waterville Dam failed. And where’s Biden and Harris throughout this crisis? It’s part of an unseemly pattern with this administration: when disaster strikes, everyone runs away. A train derails in East Palestine, Ohio—the Biden White House drags their feet. Severe wildfires strike Maui, the deadliest in 100 years, and it takes Joe forever to get out there. Joe’s mind ...

Data dump shows 650,000 migrant criminals, suspects free in Biden-Harris’s America

By Neil Munro  | Breitbart President Joe Biden’s administration is allowing up to 650,000 criminal migrants and suspects — including at least 13,099 migrant murderers and 222,141 migrants facing criminal charges — to roam through American communities, according to a dramatic data dump by a House Republican. “The data says that, among those not in detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals,” reported Fox News, which got the information from Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX). The letter from ICE to Gonzalez says: Your letter requests the number of noncitizens on ICE’s docket convicted or charged with a crime. As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket, which includes those detained by ICE, and on the agency’...

By Trevor Hunnicutt | Denver Gazette U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday, wrapping up three days of talks aimed at easing friction between the two world powers ahead of November's U.S. election. As the pair sat down in the Great Hall of the People, Xi told Sullivan Beijing was committed to a stable relationship with Washington. "In this changing and turbulent world, countries need solidarity and coordination...not exclusion or regress," Xi said. READ THE FULL STORY AT DENVER GAZETTE

Northern border sector up 197 percent over record migrant arrests

By CASEY HARPER | Breitbart The record-shattering surge of migrant crossings in the Swanton Sector continues with the apprehension of more than 2,700 migrants in July. The sector of the U.S.-Canada Border experienced an increase of nearly 200 percent from the same record-setting period one year earlier. According to the CBP Nationwide Encounters report, during the first ten months of Fiscal Year 24, which began in October 2023, Swanton Sector agents apprehended 15,612 migrants who illegally crossed the border from Canada into Northeastern New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire. This is up 197 percent from the 5,257 arrested during the same period in FY23. During the last three months, agents apprehended nearly 30 percent more migrants than during the entire previous fiscal year. ...

RFK Jr. gets green light to challenge Biden on censorship after supreme court declines to rule

By KAELAN DEESE | Washington Examiner A Louisiana district court ruled this week that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his charity Children’s Health Defense have the legal right to sue the Biden administration for allegedly pressuring tech giants to censor their social media posts. The decision marks the latest major development in anti-censorship litigation, following the June Supreme Court ruling in Murthy v. Missouri, where a 6-3 majority struck down a similar injunction against the Biden administration, saying that the plaintiffs lacked standing due to insufficient evidence of direct injury caused by the government’s actions. “The Court finds that Kennedy is likely to succeed on his claim that suppression of contentposted was caused by actions of Governm...
