@HotepGoldstein This is the most bad faith argument ive heard in a long time

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

Having listened to the arguments of both sides over the last year, I'm no longer on the fence about Israel's war. Here is why:

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

NEW: In a new, heavily redacted DHS Inspector General report, the IG finds that “CBP, ICE, and TSA did not fully assess risks associated w/ releasing noncitizens without ID into the U.S. and allowing them to travel on domestic flights.”

Key finding: “Under current processes, CBP and ICE cannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country. Additionally, TSA cannot ensure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high-risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights.” 

More highlights below 👇🏻

The IG says that according to federal law, “noncitizens without ID are not admissible into the country and “shall be detained,” but that CBP and ICE are permitted to release noncitizens into the U.S. based on various circumstances.

The report says CBP and ICE accept “self reported biographical information, which they use to give migrants immigration forms, who are then able to get on domestic flights, even if they don’t have ID.

The IG says he asked DHS for data on the number of noncitizens who did not have ID and were released into the U.S. between fiscal years 2021-2023, but CBP and ICE were unable to provide the data because they don’t log whether a noncitizen had ID in their databases. The OIG adds that “immigration officers we interviewed acknowledged the risks of allowing noncitizens without ID into the country.”

The report finds that the TSA relies on data and background checks on noncitizens from CBP and ICE to determine if someone is a threat, but if that data is incomplete, “TSA’s methods to screen individuals who pose a threat would not necessarily prevent these individuals from boarding flights.”

Additionally, there are heavily redacted portions of the report where TSA conducted assessments on the risks of using the CBP One cell phone app as a screening tool - but the results are not disclosed.

The IG report goes on to say they identified “similar weaknesses” in CBP’s screening processes that allowed “high risk individuals into the country”, including someone who was released while being on the FBI Terror Watchlist in 2022 and two Afghans paroled into the U.S. as part of Operation Allies Welcome who may have posed a threat to national security.

The report concludes: “If CBP and ICE continue to allow noncitizens - whose identities immigration officers cannot confirm - to enter the country, they may inadvertently increase national security risks.”

DHS did NOT concur with the IG’s findings, with both ICE and CBP pushing back.

DHS says they “cannot detain all individuals subject to detention, including inadmissible noncitizens without ID, due to several reasons including a lack of resources (bed space).

ICE said their currently funded detention capacity of 41,500 beds doesn’t allow them to detain every noncitizen who doesn’t have ID and valid documents.

CBP said their detention facilities are for “short term” detention, and they can’t legally hold noncitizens longer than the law allows, even to mitigate potential risks.

TSA said the report doesn’t reflect their current policies.

Wow, @KamalaHarris got 99% of the delegate votes! Amazing!

She did better than Vladimir Putin! Not quite as good as Saddam Hussein, but it is difficult to beat 100%.

I’m old enough to remember when mainstream media used to understand that getting 99% of the vote was evidence of fraud.

I gave this speech back in 2021 at the height of the covid regime and I stand by it even more so now.

We can’t afford to sit back and relax just because we are allowed to go to restaurants again.

This is the calm before the storm.

Stay vigilant. Resist much, obey little.

Protecting borders is racist.

Unless you’re protecting Ukraine’s border against Russia aggression.

Firearms are useless to fight a tyrannical government that is better armed.

Unless it’s Ukrainians fighting Russia.

Nobody needs rapid-firing firearms.

Until you’re being invaded by 2000 Hamas terrorists.

There’s been another mass shooting.

Surrender your firearms.

And sanctuary cities are beautiful.

And walls are racist.

And we are being governed by absolute fucking idiots.

BREAKING: CNN, MSNBC and the Big 3 TV networks have all blacked out coverage of today's Biden impeachment inquiry, only the fourth presidential impeachment inquiry in U.S. history -- in stark contrast to their wall-to-wall coverage of the 2019 Trump impeachment inquiry #MediaBias

[Viva Frei @thevivafrei]

The 3 stages of fake news spin:

1) “It’s not true. It’s a right-wing conspiracy theory”.

2) “OK it’s true, but it’s being misrepresented”

3) “OK it’s true and accurate, but it’s for your own good, and if you object to it, you are a right-wing bigot”.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

“You’ve killed my dog, you son of a bitch!”

On this day 31 years ago, the Siege at Ruby Ridge began when State Agents scouting the property of Randy Weaver killed the Weaver family dog, Striker, and murdered Randy’s 14-year-old son, Sammy, by shooting him in the back as he retreated from their confrontation.

The next day, Randy’s wife, Vicki, was murdered inside the family’s cabin by a sniper while holding their 10-month-old baby, Elisheba.

Today, this event stands as a stark reminder that there is no amount of death and destruction from which these monsters shy away. Their mission is to strike fear into the People and protect the established elite’s fragile hegemony.
