Just The News: Texas border counties issue disaster declarations after Title 42’s end
Texas border counties issue disaster declarations after Title 42’s end
Large groups of migrants are arriving in South Texas seeking entry to the U.S., prompting several counties to issue disaster declarations. Over 27,000 foreign nationals who had just entered the Rio Grande Valley from Mexico were detained by May 9 and another 23,000 are reportedly en route to Del Rio, prompting officials to prepare for violence. The crisis has led to a surge in public safety and security concerns, with Gov. Greg Abbott deploying the Texas National Guard to the RGV and El Paso, blaming President Joe Biden for creating the crisis.

It depends what the definition of 'secure' is
An Afghan national on FBI’s terror watchlist was arrested crossing the border illegally in California. Despite Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas' claim that the border is secure, this incident highlights the risks of open borders and the potential for dangerous individuals to enter the country. The end of Title 42, which allowed border agents to turn away migrants, has resulted in thousands of migrants flooding to the border. Biden's failure to address this issue is a dereliction of duty and potentially impeachable.

Border Patrol Braces For Surge As Migrants Celebrate End of Title 42
The end of Title 42, a public health rule that allowed immigration authorities to quickly deport illegal border crossers, resulted in a record-high of over 11,600 aliens apprehended in just one night, lower than the predicted 16,000 but still the most in U.S. history. Though the start has been relatively calm, law enforcement officials predict that the cartels running massive human smuggling rings will eventually get across the border. The week of May 7 saw more than 83,000 illegal border crossings, another record. Nonprofit organizations have rushed to the Mexican side of the border to help migrants apply for asylum, alleged by Republicans to facilitate illegal immigration.

Packers Pro Bowler David Bakhtiari slams Biden for using cheat sheets: 'This is a bit too far'
Green Bay Packers offensive lineman David Bakhtiari criticized President Biden for using notes during a recent event.

He also dismissed the notion that the same thing happens after games. Bakhtiari has previously criticized Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., for her stock trades. Bakhtiari is entering his 11th season with the Packers and has been a First-Team All-Pro selection twice. ( )


Fox News: 2024 Watch: Pence returning to Iowa for Ernst’s ‘Roast and Ride’ to benefit veterans
2024 Watch: Pence returning to Iowa for Ernst’s ‘Roast and Ride’ to benefit veterans
Former Vice President Mike Pence will participate in annual motorcycle ride, 'Roast and Ride,' in Iowa on June 3, which benefits veterans and is a crucial event on the Iowa Republican political calendar. Hosted by Senator Joni Ernst, she invited all confirmed and potential GOP White House contenders, including former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Former Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina has also confirmed her participation. Pence has made several trips to Iowa and other early voting presidential nominating states and continues to consider launching a presidential campaign.

Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa hosts this motorcycle ride to showcase her party’s top Republican candidates. She is staying neutral in the GOP presidential contenders battle in Iowa’s caucuses and is also hosting foreign and national security policy discussions with the White House hopefuls. Both Haley and Pence have already participated in the discussion that Ernst hosts with the Bastion Institute, a think tank whose goal is "to discuss the path toward strengthening America’s leadership and standing on the international stage." Taking aim at President Biden and the Democratic National Committee for their move earlier this year to bump Iowa from its leadoff position in the Democrats’ presidential nominating calendar, she emphasized that Republicans are maintaining their "first in the nation" status.

He remains optimistic that progress can still be made under the current construct of private gun ownership with Congressional regulation.

American Thinker: Alvin Bragg to New Yorkers: don't get involved
Alvin Bragg to New Yorkers: don't get involved
District Attorney Alvin Bragg charges Marine Daniel Penny for the death of Jordan Neely. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Al Sharpton also called for charges against Penny. The author, in a hypothetical scenario, debates whether to physically intervene to protect Bragg or Ocasio-Cortez, knowing that they may be at risk of felony charges if the aggressor dies. The author decides to call 911 and provide evidence to the police.

The author acknowledges the potential risks of physical intervention, since they may incur legal costs after defending themselves against politically-motivated criminal charges. The author suggests using a cell phone to call the police and provide evidence, and to let the 2024 elections reflect society's response to Bragg's message. The author, writing under a pen name, wants to prevent history from repeating itself and exposes the "big lie" behind Black Lives Matter.


American Thinker: How the 'new' law school rankings serve the DNC
How the 'new' law school rankings serve the DNC
Elite law schools such as Yale, Harvard, and Berkeley have protested the USN&WR law school rankings, claiming that they undermined minorities and discouraged students from applying. The Chronicle of Higher Education attempted to spin the new rankings as an improvement, but the rankings remained largely unchanged, with the T-14 law schools maintaining their status. The protests are seen as political posturing by the elite law schools, who are largely exclusive and participate in a closed network of reciprocal economic favors, and maintain favored relationships with political power as a means to access the judiciary and corporate law sectors.

The new law school rankings reveal that ordered power is now even more consolidated, and law schools and the legal industry are content with maintaining the illusion of elitism and prestige. Lower-ranked law schools accommodate the elite law school market, which largely excludes minorities and much of the lower economic classes. The progressive Left is also satisfied with this class elitism, as they seek to maintain a fragile authority and control. The law industry is discussed further in the upcoming book Legally Blind by Matthew G. Andersson, a graduate of the University of Chicago.

China Jails Elderly U.S. Citizen For Life On Espionage Charges
An elderly American citizen, John Shing-Wan Leung, has been sentenced to life in prison for espionage by a court in Suzhou, China. Leung was detained by state intelligence officials in April 2021 and holds a US passport and is a permanent resident of Hong Kong. The court also confiscated his personal property worth ¥500,000 ($72,000) and stripped him of his “political rights for life”. There are few details available about the charges or trial process. Leung is among a growing number of foreign nationals who have been affected by China’s anti-espionage crackdown, a pattern which has damaged the country’s relationship with the US.

Dutch MEP Rob Roos Slams Globalists 'Great Food Reset' Policy: 'No Farmers, No Food, No Future' (Video) - RAIR
Dutch politician Rob Roos spoke out against the EU’s "Great Food Reset" policy which is destroying the livelihoods of farmers in the Netherlands through legislation aimed at climate action. This has led to devastating consequences, including the suicide of 20 to 30 farmers every year, and could result in hunger like the famine in Sri Lanka. Roos emphasized the need to protect and cherish farmers and called for an end to destructive policies like the Nature Restoration Act and the 2030 Agenda.

Roos also called for clear labeling of insect-based food products in another speech, arguing that consumers need to know precisely what is in their food. He believes that deceptively labeled Latin names are used to disguise the ingredients and called for an icon on the package to alert consumers that the product contains insects. Roos’s speeches highlight the need for transparency and honesty in the food industry and the urgent need to strike a balance between protecting the environment and supporting farmers.

Forbes: Massachusetts’ Misguided Middle-Class Health Insurance Subsidy Expansion
Massachusetts’ Misguided Middle-Class Health Insurance Subsidy Expansion
A proposed expansion of health insurance subsidies up to $150,000 for a family of four in Massachusetts could have detrimental effects on patients and employers. Despite its intention to help offset the high cost of health insurance, middle-class subsidies have several unintended, negative consequences including potentially pushing the small business market into a death spiral and diverting public resources away from those truly in need. Expanding subsidies does not decrease the number of uninsured, and the subsidy structure could hurt those with preexisting conditions. Policymakers should focus on stabilizing the insurance market for small businesses and making healthcare more affordable for all instead of simply expanding subsidies.

Horse euthanized at Churchill Downs after broken leg; becomes 8th thoroughbred to die at track in last 2 weeks
CHURCHILL DOWNS RACETRACK SEES EIGHT HORSE DEATHS INCLUDING ONE BEFORE KENTUCKY DERBY AND FIVE SCRATCHED (HASH TAG: )

Churchill Downs has seen eight horse deaths, with Rio Moon being the latest horse to be euthanized, and the eighth horse to die in the last two weeks at the racetrack. PETA has criticized the racetrack, calling it "a killing field." On top of horse deaths, five thoroughbreds were scratched from the Kentucky Derby, including the morning-line favorite Forte, just hours before the race. This incident is not new for the sport in North America with more than 30 horses dying in 2019 at the Santa Anita racetrack in California. Medina Spirit, the 2021 Kentucky Derby winner, also drew controversy after failing a post-race drug test and dying later that year.
