Because nothing says "stronger strategic position" like losing your navy and air force and having your vital shipping route blockaded and your economy in free fall.
HUGE: The en banc Fifth Circuit just held, 11-6, that illegal aliens caught in the interior can be detained without bond for the duration of their removal proceedings.
Judge James Ho in a concurring opinion: "A nation ceases to be a nation if it can't protect its borders."
This morning, two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Floris, 46, and Bradley Benavides, 56, surrendered on arrest warrants after being charged with lying to Congress about their roles on the Foreign Influence Task Force during the 2020 election. Floris and Benavides allegedly lied to Congress about their roles in the FBI’s Hunter Biden investigations, with one claiming they only learned about it from Wikipedia - despite evidence showing their involvement in helping shape the public narrative about Hunter Biden’s laptop right before the election.
Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it’s time to bring the hammer of justice down on them. When senior officials entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s security choose deception over duty, they undermine the very institutions they swore to uphold.
Today’s action makes clear that no one is above the law, and we will hold accountable all who obstruct the truth.
He cannot articulate his point because he does not believe in what he’s saying.
The truth is, he is a radical leftist who hates law enforcement and wants to defund the police.
I just came across this in an Open Society Foundations document about how to fix public “mistrust” of liberal "democracy," and I honestly feel sick reading it. I've read many alarming quotes, but few are so "mask off" like this.
"I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate… can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections—will be able to justify public trust and spearhead... our struggle to survive.""
Read that again. The proposed solution to the public's distrust in democracy... is less democracy.
An unelected "elite" to whom the public should cede sovereignty.
Abolish democracy to save democracy. This kind of thinking is what we're up against.
Hat tip to @DanaPerino who earlier today on @thefive said that Beirut used to be the Paris of the Middle East (until it was destroyed by Islam), and now Paris is the Beirut of Europe (because of Islam).
“ I’ll go tomorrow.”
“I’ve got too much going on.”
“We’re going to win anyway.”
“They don’t need my vote.”
It’s easy to find a reason to put it off. But if everyone thinks someone else will show up, where does that leave us?
Make time, take a friend, and vote Republican up and down the ballot. Texas is worth showing up for. 🇺🇸
Tomorrow is Day 2 of early voting!- Get there!
Harmeet Dhillon’s 60 Minutes interview that aired Sunday showed exactly why so many people trust her on election integrity. When Lesley Stahl suggested the prosecutions of noncitizens voting were meant to sow distrust, Dhillon answered, “The distrust is there… And so all of these kinds of crimes are being prosecuted now for the first time really in volume.”
Democrats keep claiming noncitizen voting is rare and almost never happens. They say it because the current system makes it hard to detect, and because they expect most noncitizens who vote to vote Democrat. That’s also why many of them oppose basic security measures like voter ID. It’s not subtle, and most people see it.
While prosecuting these cases will deter some of the illegal voting, it won’t stop it. America still needs voter ID, an end to widespread mail-in ballots, and Election Day limited to one day. Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, is enforcing election law and making real progress. Americans who want fair elections should support that work and demand more of it from the rest of the government.
El Sayed’s record is rightly being challenged and you can’t simply wave it off as “Islamophobia.” He’s got real questions to answer…just don’t make an appointment at his medical practice to get them.
