President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he would not visit the southern border during his trip to Arizona, despite an ongoing migration crisis. The president spoke briefly with reporters as he left the White House for a trip to Arizona to promote new investments in semiconductor chip manufacturing. When asked why he was going to a border state without visiting the border, Biden replied, “Because there are more important things going on.” The president has stubbornly resisted visiting the border as the migration crisis continues to cripple border communities faced by floods of migrants entering the country and claiming asylum. Joe Biden’s pro-migration policies are inviting another blue-collar migration flood across the southern border, say his Democrat allies. https://t.co/N8Twl45ynE — Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) November 26, 2020 Biden has never visited the Southern border, despite signaling last year that he would do so. “At some point, I will,” he told … [Read more...] about Joe Biden Refuses to Visit the Border During Trip to Arizona: ‘More Important Things Going On’

Ron Klain Claims Posting Trillion Dollar Deficits Is ‘Fiscal Responsibility’
The president’s Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, claimed Monday that carefulness with taxpayers’ money “is very important” to those who work in the Biden administration – which posted deficits worth a combined $4.2 trillion in fiscal years 2021 and 2022. Speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit, Klain said, “Fiscal responsibility is very important to us in the Biden administration. We are very aware that we have to stay within our means economically.” “I think you will see that in the president’s budget that will come out next spring,” Klain added. “And you see that in everything we’ve tried to do these past two years.” During the last two years, the Biden administration has posted massive deficits, collecting less than it spent. According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, the Biden administration spent $1.4 trillion taxpayer dollars more than it collected in fiscal year 2022. In fiscal year 2021, the Biden administration spent $2.8 trillion more taxpayers’ … [Read more...] about Ron Klain Claims Posting Trillion Dollar Deficits Is ‘Fiscal Responsibility’

Exclusive – Ned Ryun: GOP Needs to Embrace a ‘Ballot Chase Program’
Ned Ryun — the CEO of American Majority, one of the leading conservative activist groups — told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday over the weekend that Republicans must embrace “ballot chasing” if they hope to be competitive in 2024. At the top of the segment, Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle asked Ryun what went wrong for the GOP in the November 8 elections, in which they took a very slim majority in the House of Representatives and squandered a prime opportunity to secure a Senate majority. “I think Republicans have forgotten how to execute certain fundamentals of elections that they used to do very well decades ago,” said Ryun. “In fact … the Florida Republican Party still does this one thing very well, which is an absentee ballot chase program.” “Obviously, people can request absentee ballots,” Ryan said, expanding on the ballot chase strategy. “They are then mailed to households, depending on the state call it four to six weeks before the actual election, … [Read more...] about Exclusive – Ned Ryun: GOP Needs to Embrace a ‘Ballot Chase Program’
Outgoing Nebraska GOP Gov. Ricketts Seeks U.S. Senate Appointment
Outgoing Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts (R), unable to run again due to term limits, announced on Tuesday that he would like to receive an appointment to the state’s U.S. Senate seat that will soon be vacated by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE). Ricketts’ announcement came just one day after Sasse officially sent his resignation letter to the governor stating he would resign on January 8, 2023.

Biden’s Fast-Track Asylum Program: 67% of Illegal Aliens Never Show for Court Hearings
Most illegal aliens enrolled in a fast-track asylum program created by President Joe Biden never end up appearing at their scheduled court hearings after being released into the United States, new bombshell data reveals. The data, compiled by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, reveals the extent to which Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network is freeing illegal aliens into the U.S. interior, under the guise of seeking asylum, who have no intention of actually seeking asylum because they do not have valid claims. In May 2021, Biden started the “Dedicated Dockets” program as a fast-track asylum process that promises to get border crossers through federal immigration courts within 300 days. More than 110,000 border crossers have been in the program but only about 40,000 of those cases have been closed. Of those closed cases, less than eight percent were granted asylum while more than 67 percent never showed up to their scheduled … [Read more...] about Biden’s Fast-Track Asylum Program: 67% of Illegal Aliens Never Show for Court Hearings

George Gascón, the George Soros-funded district attorney of Los Angeles, has issued a policy directive that helps criminal illegal aliens avoid deportation, Fox News reported.

Meet the tech making online censorship “a very difficult thing to achieve”
Audio player loading… Footage of people taking to the streets in China have been filling the news for over a week. The nationwide wave of demonstrations against the strict zero-Covid policy is considered to be the biggest since the 1989 massacre of Tiananmen Square. It's not confined to the streets, though - the internet is an important battlefield too. Digital protestors are using software like the best VPN services to break through China’s Great Firewall and spread information outside the country's borders. While Chinese authorities might be the most equipped in the field, online censorship is on the rise everywhere across the world. In Iran, for example, the government recently restricted Instagram and WhatsApp in an effort to silence protesters. The same happened in Turkey after the Istanbul blast . According to the latest report from Freedom House , in 2022 two-thirds of the countries analyzed "cut residents off from the flow of news and information … [Read more...] about Meet the tech making online censorship “a very difficult thing to achieve”
Exclusive — Greg Murphy: ‘I Personally Believe’ the CCP ‘Has Something Hanging over Joe Biden’s Head’
Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) said on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with special guest host Jerome Hudson that he suspected President Joe Biden of being compromised by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and of monetizing political influence during his vice presidential tenure in the Obama administration by using his son, Hunter Biden, as an intermediary. “I personally believe … that the Communist Party has something hanging over Joe Biden’s head,” Murphy remarked, “[and] that Hunter was being paid by these foreign nationals for access to Vice President Biden, and money was exchanged in that regard, and that is one reason why President Biden wants to slow-go and wants to not go against China as much as we really should be doing, because where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and I think that’s what we will eventually find out.” Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute, confirmed that Joe Biden “was a direct beneficiary” of Hunter … [Read more...] about Exclusive — Greg Murphy: ‘I Personally Believe’ the CCP ‘Has Something Hanging over Joe Biden’s Head’
