Red State: More Migrant Buses Stop Near 'Border Czar' VP Harris' Residence
More Migrant Buses Stop Near 'Border Czar' VP Harris' Residence
Kamala Harris visits Mexico and Guatemala to investigate the root causes of illegal immigration; then travels to El Paso, but fails to address the border crisis. Mayors of Democrat-run sanctuary cities struggle with lack of space for asylum seekers. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas claims that white supremacy is the biggest threat to America. Meanwhile, hundreds of illegal immigrants are dropped off near the Vice President’s residence in Washington D.C. Has Harris been too busy attending fundraisers to address this crisis?


Fox News: Illegal immigrants get court dates scheduled for years in the future, allowed to stay in US in the meantime
Illegal immigrants get court dates scheduled for years in the future, allowed to stay in US in the meantime
Some illegal immigrants being released into the U.S. are being given court dates several years in the future, allowing them to live and work in the country until then. This comes even as the Biden administration is seeking to release migrants with no court dates at all. Migrants fresh across the border shared their DHS I-862 forms that display court summons dates three, four and even five years into the future.




The Babylon Bee: Border Patrol Not Too Sure About This 'Mohammed Sanchez' Guy
Border Patrol Not Too Sure About This 'Mohammed Sanchez' Guy
Authorities are unsure about the identity of a man who crossed the US-Mexico border with undocumented immigrants. The man, named Mohammed Sanchez, claims to be "super Mexican" but does not speak Spanish and was carrying a Koran and AK-47. Authorities found a manifesto on Sanchez's person that expressed a desire to kill infidels, but Sanchez claims it is fan fiction for a video game. The matter has been briefed to the Biden administration, and Sanchez has been released from custody pending a hearing in three months.


The Epoch Times: Afghan National on Terror Watchlist Arrested at Southern Border: San Diego Supervisor
Afghan National on Terror Watchlist Arrested at Southern Border: San Diego Supervisor
An Afghan national on the FBI's terror watchlist was caught crossing the US southern border into California. Republican San Diego County District 5 Supervisor Jim Desmond warned President Biden and the Federal Government that maintaining a strong border is essential for preventing individuals with nefarious intentions from entering the country. Desmond cited the Afghan national's arrest as a cause for concern over the Biden administration's handling of border security issues. The Afghan national and terrorist suspect was apprehended just over a day before the Title 42 pandemic-era immigration restrictions ended. Texas' Republican Gov. Greg Abbott also activated National Guard troops, who have been observed manning sections of razor wire and physically blocking illegal immigrants from entering Texas.


The Federalist: Media Distracts From Border With 'Drop' In Arrests Narrative
Media Distracts From Border With 'Drop' In Arrests Narrative
President Biden's decision to end Title 42 has resulted in a drop in illegal crossings, according to corporate media headlines. However, this coverage is dishonest, as it fails to acknowledge the growing border crisis and the surge in illegal border crossings. The truth is that Biden's policies have not reduced illegal immigration flow, as seen in Customs and Border Protection data. This crisis is worsening, and the Biden administration's decisions are giving cartels a massive boost in profits.

ANALYSIS: Chinese Ambassador Reveals CCP’s Fear of Soviet-Style Collapse in China
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) fear a collapse similar to the Soviet Union and have strengthened their grip over all aspects of society to prevent this. Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye sparked outrage in former Soviet countries by saying they did not have sovereignty. Experts believe Lu's remark reflects the innermost thoughts of the CCP's top brass. The CCP has placed Communist party branches in foreign companies, expanded state-owned enterprises, and suppressed private businesses, disrupting China's economy. Experts warn the CCP's excessive control over the private sector hurts China in the long run.


Forbes: McCarthy: Biden Wants A Default—Not A Deal—On Debt Ceiling
McCarthy: Biden Wants A Default—Not A Deal—On Debt Ceiling
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy has given a pessimistic outlook on the ongoing debt ceiling negotiations between the White House and Democratic congressional leaders, indicating that they are still at odds. The two sides face a two-week deadline before the US runs out of cash to pay its bills. McCarthy blames Democrats for wanting to “look like they’re in a meeting” without talking about anything serious, adding that it seems like they want a default instead of a deal.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and President Joe Biden had indicated on Sunday that talks were making some progress, but McCarthy's viewpoint contradicts that. Wall Street has remained muted amid the stalemate on Capitol Hill, heightening concerns among business leaders about the looming debt ceiling crisis. Biden maintains that he will refuse to raise the federal debt limit if any other conditions are attached, while McCarthy and Republicans are pushing for a long list of spending cuts and policy changes.

MSNBC Host Raked Over the Coals for Belittling Marine's Service as 'Irrelevant Former Job Title'
MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan faced backlash on Twitter for belittling a Marine veteran who will be tried for the death of Jordan Neely. Daniel Penny was among three subway passengers who jumped to subdue a man who had expressed violent threats to passengers, including women. Penny put Neely in a chokehold that killed him. The Marine will now be tried by left-wing Manhattan District Attorney on a count of second-degree manslaughter. Hasan shared the tweet and called Penny’s service to his country “irrelevant” in a comment with heavy racial undertones. The MSNBC host was savaged over the comment, and many criticized him for hating Penny for being white, serving his country, and honoringably leaving the military.

President Joe Biden endorses Heather Boyd in primary for vacant state House of Representatives seat
President Biden endorsed Democrat Heather Boyd in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives special election against Republican Katie Ford on May 16, 2023. The outcome of the election is critical for determining control of legislative chamber, implications for abortion rights, the 2024 presidential contest, and Gov. Josh Shapiro's agenda. Ford's campaign chair claimed that the endorsement indicates that Democrats are concerned the election will be close. If Ford wins, the Republicans would likely have enough votes to restore a speaker from their party and control the House voting agenda, jeopardizing Shapiro's agenda.

US Position on Syria Deteriorates
The United States' position in the Middle East is weakening quickly, with key allies like Saudi Arabia normalizing relations with Syria and Iran. The United States is seen as impotent and unreliable in defending its allies in the region and its weakening economy only exacerbates the situation. The CCP welcomes Syria's reentry into the Arab League, increasing China's influence in the Middle East. This perceived weakness is causing dictators around the world to close ranks against the United States, leaving a power vacuum that Russia and China are likely to fill.

White House Begins to Cave to House Republicans on Debt Ceiling
President Biden is showing a willingness to negotiate with Republicans on a debt ceiling deal that could include spending cuts and reforms. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen expressed optimism about the ongoing negotiations, which involve discussions on caps on domestic discretionary spending, clawing back unspent coronavirus aid, easing up oil and natural gas permits, and more.

Despite concerns over the deficit, there is a growing desire on both sides to reach an agreement that addresses the debt ceiling.


Forbes: Oman Edges Closer To Investment Grade Rating With Moody’s Upgrade
Oman Edges Closer To Investment Grade Rating With Moody’s Upgrade
Moody's upgrades Oman's credit rating from Ba3 to Ba2, keeping a positive outlook, as Oman reduced its debt burden by paying off its debts, with the help of oil and gas windfall. Last year, Oman's fiscal deficit turned into a surplus of 3.4% of GDP due to higher oil and gas revenues, but restrained government spending also helped, enabling the government to cut its outstanding debt by over 15% and reduce overall debt to 40% of GDP. Moody's warned that Oman remains vulnerable to global oil demand and prices, but it also has a chance to continue with its reform program to reach a higher rating level.

Transvestite gets banned from women's disc golf tour due to last-minute decision from federal judge
A federal court has overturned a decision allowing a transvestite male to compete against women in an elite disc golf tournament. The Disc Golf Pro Tour had prevented male athlete Natalie Ryan from competing against women in line with a gender policy supported by a majority of female Professional Disc Golf Association members - although Ryan is registered as the fifth highest female professional open disc golf player. The policy requires that male athletes have taken puberty blockers prior to the age of 12 and continuously maintain a total testosterone level in serum below 2.0 nmol/L. Ryan is arguing that the policy is discriminatory in a lawsuit, but the DGPT has been given leave to enforce its gender eligibility policy.
