WATCH: Illegal Alien Lists All the Things New York City is Giving Him for FREE — and it’s Shocking By Cassandra Macdonald
Mar. 24, 2024 3:00 pm – YouTuber Nick Shirley has posted a man-on-the-street interview with an illegal alien in New York, who detailed the shocking amount of goods and services he has received at taxpayers’ expense.
The interview begins with Shirley asking the migrant how long he has been staying at the Watson Hotel, and if he had to pay for it.
“Two months. … No, no, we don’t pay. It is totally free. It is a help that the state gives us,” the migrant says, in Spanish.
The migrant also details the “good service” he is given at the hotel, including free “breakfast, lunch, dinner, everything.”
“Do you also receive insurance for medications?” Shirley asks.
“Yes, they are in charge of doing all that. In fact, they process Medicaid,” the migrant says.
The migrant continued to explain that he was provided with free lawyers and that beginning the process of applying for asylum was also free.
The migrant and his family have luggage with them, so Shirley asks where they are heading.
“Well now we’re heading towards … in fact, we asked for the tickets, and they also give it free, and now we are going to Arizona. To Phoenix, Arizona,” the man states.
“And they gave you that for free?” Shirley asks.
“Yes, it’s free. Free. The flight is completely free. We are leaving because here in New York, as we know, it has collapsed,” the man says.
“There inside the hotel, did they coordinate all this?” Shirley asks.
“Yes, they coordinated all this,” the migrant says.

The Hertz Meltdown Reveals Scale Of The EV Debacle by Jeffrey A. Tucker
SATURDAY, MAR 23, 2024 – 09:20 AM – The Biden administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has revealed its ambition: to phase out gas-powered cars in favor of electric vehicles (EVs). Incredibly, this announcement comes as we are flooded with overwhelming evidence that EVs are a market loser.

Indeed, the artificial boom and then meltdown of the EV market is a modern industrial calamity. It was created by government, social media, wild disease frenzy, far-flung thinking, and the irrational chasing of utopia, followed by a rude awakening by facts and reality.
CEO of Hertz Stephen Scherr has been booted out due to a vast purchase of an EV fleet that consumers didn’t even want to rent. The company has now been forced to sell them at a deep discount and in a market where consumers are not particularly interested.
Looking back, however, Scherr’s decision to bet everything on an EV boom was a disaster that was highly praised at the time. Only last year, the company bragged: “This morning, [Hertz] was recognized by The White House for our efforts to expand access to electric vehicles across the country. Demand for EV rentals is growing and we’re here to help our customers electrify their travels.”
Pleasing the Biden administration is not the same as pleasing consumers.
The demand turned south fast in a real-world test of drivers. But that’s not all. Hertz could not make their investment pay no matter what they did.
The key issues with EVs are as follows.
The cost upfront is much higher.
Financing charges are higher.
They depreciate at a higher rate than internal combustion cars.
The insurance is more expensive, by at least 25 percent.
Repairs are much more expensive, if you can get them done at all, and take longer.
Tires are more expensive and don’t last as long because the car is so heavy.
Refueling is not easy and missteps here can have nightmarish consequences.
They are more likely to catch fire.
Any motor vehicle accident that impacts the battery can lead to repairs higher than the value of the car, that is totaled with so much as a scratch.
To top it all over, there is no longer any financial advantage to the driver. It now costs slightly more to charge under many conditions than to refuel with gasoline.
The novelty of driving one for a day wears off after the first day. At first they seem like the greatest thing that ever happened, like an iPhone with wheels. That’s great but then the problems crop up and people start to realize that they are fine for urban commutes with home chargers and not much else.
They make truly terrible rentals. Obviously, under rental conditions, people have to use charging stations rather than a charger in the garage. That means spending part of your vacation figuring out where to find one.
Not all are superchargers, and if it is a regular charger, you are looking at an overnight wait. If you do find a station with fast chargers, you might have to wait in line. They might not work. You waste hours doing this. And you likely have to reroute your trip even to find a station without any certainty that you will get a spot with a functioning charger.
No one wants to do this. When you rent a car, all you want is a car that goes the distance. And typically car rentals are for going some distance else you would just take a taxi or a Lyft from the airport. You might need to drive several hours. And god forbid that this takes place in cold weather because that can reduce your mileage by half. Your whole trip will be ruined.
Why in the world would anyone want to rent one of these things rather than a gas-powered car? You might be better off with a horse and carriage.
Did Hertz think of any of this before they spent $250M on a fleet? Nope. They were just doing the fashionable thing.
Swathes Of Ukraine Go Dark After Russia Pummels Electrical Power Facilities In Huge Retaliation BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, MAR 23, 2024 – 07:35 AM – We reported earlier on the clear escalation in Ukraine’s cross-border strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, during which time Moscow has in turn ramped up its own major airstrikes on Ukraine’s facilities.
The Russian Defense Ministry (MoD) in a press briefing detailed its retaliatory attacks which it described as a direct response to the shelling of Russian territory. The MoD confirmed that it has hit “energy and military industry facilities, railway junctions and arsenals.”

Significantly the country’s largest hydroelectric plant at Dnieper has been shut down after what appears a major missile strike impacting its vital operations. Various regions impacted have been left without power, and there are widespread reports of new internet outages in Ukraine.
Russia’s military touted that “all the goals of the massive strike have been achieved” – which reportedly included hits on “foreign military equipment and ordnance delivered by NATO countries” which were destroyed, according to state-run TASS.
Unconfirmed footage is widely circulating which shows a Russian cruise missile slam into the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Plant:
Putin Vows Revenge For “Bloodbath” Moscow Attack, Points Finger At Help From Ukraine, As 11 ‘Terrorists’ Captured BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, MAR 23, 2024 – 11:05 AM – The official death toll from Russian authorities in the wake of Friday’s terror attack on a Moscow concert hall has reached 133 killed, with some unofficial reports saying there could be as many as 140 or more. As the scene continues to be processed and investigated, and given some of the hospitalized are in critical condition, the death toll is likely to rise. Over 150 were wounded in the attack, which involved a group of well-equipped attackers sporadically shooting into crowds as they walked through the mall and into the concert hall. Three children are still in the hospital, with one in critical condition.
The mall and complex at the Crocus City Hall music venue appears to have burned for many hours through the night. Russia’s Investigative Committee later said more bodies were recovered from be smoldering building. Importantly, authorities on Saturday announced the capture of four suspected gunmen, also amid unconfirmed social media videos purporting to show some of the detained alleged gunmen.
Eleven people total have been detained connected with the terror attack which the Federal Security Service (FSB) has said includes “four terrorists who were directly involved in the terrorist attack on Crocus.” They are not Russian nationals, security services said.
After the Friday night rampage at the venue just outside Moscow, “the perpetrators tried to escape by car, fleeing towards the Russian-Ukrainian border,” the FSB said Saturday “The criminals intended to cross the Russia-Ukraine border and had relevant contacts on the Ukrainian side,” the FSB statement alleged.
The four alleged gunmen were detained “not far from the border with Ukraine”. This has raised suspicion in the Kremlin over Ukraine’s involvement, despite the widespread media reports in the West that it was ISIS-K. As we noted earlier, Russian media has not echoed the Western reports highlighting an ISIS-K statement of responsibility.
Instead, in addressing the crisis President Vladimir Putin has vowed to punish the perpetrators of the barbaric terrorist act while also charging that Ukraine prepared a “window” to help the terrorists escape.
At one point during the five-and-a-half minute video address, Putin said: “All perpetrators, organizers and customers of this crime will suffer fair and inevitable punishment. Whoever they are, whoever guides them. I repeat, we will identify and punish everyone who stands behind the terrorists, who prepared this atrocity, this attack on Russia, on our people.”
US Intelligence Says It Knew ISIS-K Was Planning Terror Attack On Moscow BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, MAR 23, 2024 – 05:44 AM – The initial reports that ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terror attack in Moscow appeared rumor at first, and has still been subject of widespread scrutiny and debate, however, US media and government officials are saying that the Islamic State (or ISIS-K) statement is authentic. “A branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility on Friday for the attack in Moscow that killed at least 40 people and injured about 100 others, and U.S. officials confirmed the claim shortly afterward,” The New York Times writes late in the day.
What’s more is that US intelligence knew there was to be an imminent attack on Moscow: “The United States collected intelligence in March that Islamic State-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, the branch of the group based in Afghanistan, had been planning an attack on Moscow, according to officials. ISIS members have been active in Russia, one U.S. official said,” according to more from NYT.
The Kremlin had earlier in the day demanded answers of Washington explaining why the US Embassy in Moscow issued an alert earlier this month for all US nationals to avoid public venues and be extra vigilant. We previously reported on that early March embassy notification here. NY Times continues, citing US officials: “After a period of relative quiet, the Islamic State has been trying to increase its external attacks, according to U.S. counterterrorism officials. Most of those plots in Europe have been thwarted, prompting assessments that the group had diminished capabilities.”
Importantly, Russian state media and sources have been slow to report the ISIS-K claims, nor have state officials identified any culprits or group at this late hour. Russian media in general has not reflected Western press reports concerning the claims that ISIS-K was behind it, likely pending a deeper and ongoing investigation. It is possible that some of the gunmen may still be at large.
Liberal state declares war on small farmers and homesteaders: War on food is spreading in U.S. through land-use restrictions, geoengineering and waves of propaganda [VIDEOS] by Leo Hohmann
War on food is spreading in U.S. through land-use restrictions, geoengineering and waves of propaganda
Remember, it really is all about depopulation
Mar. 24, 2024 7:15 am – The World Economic Forum warned us several years ago that its ultimate goal was to destroy the middle class. How else would you explain their slogan: “You will own nothing and learn to like it“?
This mantra is playing out in real time in the state of Oregon, and other states, in various forms which we will get into in this article.
Small farmers are under attack in the Beaver State, which has begun shutting down family farms throughout the state under the guise of water conservation and groundwater protection.
The owner of Yanasa Ama Ranch shared a 20-minute video explaining what is going on in Oregon as bureaucrats erroneously classify small family farms and homesteads as “concentrated animal feeding operations,” or CAFOs, in order to shut them down. Any feeding area that has a concrete, rock or gravel floor falls into this category, which would include most small dairy or egg farms.
If you have two or three milking cows, the rancher explains, you are now targeted by the state for closure.
The rancher further explains in the video:
“The state of Oregon has effectively shut down small farms and market gardens on a large scale, and they’re actually sending out cease-and-desist letters to farms and they’re using satellite technology to find their victims and send them these letters that say you can’t operate.”
The below video is 20 minutes but the most critical information is contained in the first 5 or 6 minutes. Note that he says most of these anti-farming, anti-private property laws start in places like Washington and Oregon but end up spreading to other states over time. That is so true!
Wake up folks. The tyranny is gaining ground. The war on food is heating up and will inevitably cause a major worldwide famine at some point. Remember what I’ve said in previous articles, that depopulation is the ultimate goal of the globalists. There is no other explanation behind their rabid lust for World War III, their relentless pushing of toxic vaccines, harmful chemicals sprayed in the atmosphere and put in our food, their celebration of abortion and all things LGBTQ+, and the list goes on. The more death and sterilizations they can foster, the happier they will be.
There was some good news on the atmospheric spraying this week. The state Senate in Tennessee has passed a bill banning all such spraying within its borders, whether it be for geoengineering or other purposes. (See story here).
- Watch geoengineering being conducted in plain sight.
- See 50 years of UN tracking weather modification projects.
- See the latest release of the Shopper’s Guide to the most sprayed/toxic foods to avoid.
- Does it seem like there are way more chemtrails today than just a few years ago? That’s probobly because five years ago, in May 2019, the Yale School of the Environment published a paper telling us that more scientists had concluded that geoengineering must be considered as a “last resort” to control global warming.
- And here is former CIA Director John Brennan admitting in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) that geoengineering is real, not a conspiracy theory.
The globalists are also waging war against small farms and homesteaders on the propaganda front.
The far-left media group Media Matters, funded by George Soros and other globalists, recently put out a hit-piece article targeting homesteaders as “white nationalist” and “anti-government.” How dare they seek to grow their own food! They must be racists! See video below.
The Music Stops as CNN Panel Guest Explains What Seizing Trump’s Property Could Do By Jack Davis, The Western Journal
Mar. 24, 2024 7:30 am – The hands that grab former President Donald Trump’s New York properties could hand him the White House, a pollster says.
Pollster Frank Luntz appeared on CNN Thursday amid talk that New York State Attorney General Letitia James could begin seizing Trump’s properties Monday.
James sued Trump in a civil fraud case that ended up with Trump being ordered to pay out millions, with $464 million due Monday. Trump has indicated that making that payment — which state rules say must be made for Trump to appeal — could be difficult, leading to speculation that James is ready to seize Trump properties in New York state’s swanky Westchester County.
Luntz said if James does that, she is helping Trump.
“I want you to remember this moment. And don’t forget it,” Luntz said in a video of the segment posted by Mediaite. [Emphasis added]
“If the New York Attorney General starts to take his homes away, starts to seize his assets, it’s all going to be on camera. Pundits are going to sit there and scream about this, ‘This man cannot be elected.’ You’re going to create the greatest victimhood of 2024. And you’re going to elect Donald Trump,” Luntz said.
“If they take his stuff, he’s going to say that this is proof that the federal government and the establishment in the swamp in Washington, and all the politicians across the country and the attorneys generals and all of this, that this is a conspiracy to deny him the presidency,” he said.
Luntz noted that this has happened before.
“He’s going to go up in the polls, just like he went up every single time they indicted him. The indictment — and let’s not talk about whether it’s justified or not — but it will prove the things that he’s saying on the campaign trail, and he will go up, and it may just elect him president. Do not forget that,” Luntz said.
Luntz gave James a piece of advice.
“And I say this to the attorney general right now, if you play politics on this, this is what the secretaries of state did in Colorado, and what they did in, I believe is Maine, his numbers went up in both states,” he said.
Luntz then noted that failed attempts to squash Trump have made him stronger.
“I don’t understand. I’m almost speechless in how pathetic the opposition to Trump has been and how completely misguided. And this is a perfect example of it,” he said.
Luntz noted that despite everything thrown against him, “Trump is leading. And in the seven swing states, Trump is up by the margin of error in five out of seven.
“Why is that happening? Because his critics are stupid and they’re running a horrible campaign,” he said.
A clip of the interview appears below.
Over 70 Percent of “Palestinians” Support Hamas’s October 7 Terror Attack: Poll By Pamela Geller
March 23, 2024 – The “Palestinians” elected Hamas. They voted for this war. Where else in the world are the aggressors, the mass murderers the heroes? Only if the victim is the Jew.
‘Innocent’ Gaza civilians
Over 70 Percent of Palestinians Support Hamas’s October 7 Terror Attack: Poll By Zach Kessel, National Review
Palestinians celebrate after gunmen infiltrated areas of southern Israel and rocket barrages were launched towards Israel from Gaza, in the southern Gaza Strip, October 7, 2023.
March 21, 2024: Seventy-one percent of Palestinians in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank believe Hamas made the right decision in attacking Israel on October 7, according to a new poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, an organization primarily funded by the European Union and the United States-based Ford Foundation.
The percentage of West Bank residents who support the Hamas attack has decreased slightly since December, when 82 percent of West Bank respondents said they agreed with the decision, though support for the terror attack has increased in Gaza, rising from 57 percent in December to 71 percent in March.

Poll Finds Most Americans Are Worried About Violence After the 2024 Election By Mike Lachance
Mar. 23, 2024 9:00 pm – Most Americans are worried that violence will follow the 2024 election, according to new polling.
Of course, anyone who remembers Trump’s inauguration in 2017 has good reason to be worried. Antifa and other leftist agitators engaged in multiple acts of destruction and violence in Washington, DC.
If Trump wins again in 2024, it could potentially be worse.
RedState has details:
An alarming new poll has found that a vast majority of Americans are bracing themselves for election-related violence and fear the prospect of a civil war.
In the latest Battleground Civility Poll, conducted by The Tarrance Group, Research Lake Partners, and Georgetown University, 78 percent said they are “worried that the 2024 election will result in violent activity.” Just 23 percent said they were not at all worried.
Participants were also asked the following:
Thinking about the issue of political divisions as a whole… On a scale of 0 to 100, where ‘0’ is there is no political division in the country and where ‘100’ is political division on the edge of a civil war where would you rank the level of political division in the country?
The average response to this question was 70.85, meaning the majority were fearful about the prospect of a civil war. However, this is still a considerable decrease compared with 2021, when the January 6th protests took place and Joe Biden took office in contentious circumstances. At that time, the average score was 76.01.
On a brighter note, 88 percent of respondents said they believed that political divisions could be eased if leaders from both parties managed to find consensus on key issues, although any major compromises on issues from immigration to abortion currently seem highly unlikely.
Democrats and the media pushed the false ‘bloodbath’ narrative for over a week, trying to make it sound as if Trump supporters are violent, but the opposite is true.
If Trump wins, Washington is going to need much greater security and it won’t be Trump supporters causing violence.

THE DISTURBING TRUTH About Our Government’s Mass Censorship Campaign And The National Security State By Patty Mcmurray
Mar. 23, 2024 6:20 pm – A special contribution to The Gateway Pundit by David Howell, retired Army National Guard Physician Assistant and former State Surgeon; four combat tours in Desert Storm, Iraq (2), and Afghanistan; awarded Legion of Merit, Bronze Star Medal (2), and Army Meritorious Service Medal (3).
In 2002, as the Battalion Physician Assistant for the 160th Military Police Battalion, part of my assignment was to perform the initial medical screening on every planeload of detainees arriving at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base directly from Afghanistan and triage any that were in need of immediate medical attention. Standing beside me were always a number of representatives from those government organizations that I refer to as ‘3-letter agencies,’ including agents from the FBI, CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and National Security Agency (NSA).
Ten years and three combat deployments later, I found myself deep in the Hindu Kush Mountains of northeast Afghanistan at a Forward Operating Base near the city of Kunduz with the Soldiers of the 1st Battalion, 125th Infantry Regiment of the Michigan Army National Guard. Supporting us were civilian contractors working for the DIA and NSA who were carrying out various intelligence & counterintelligence missions and operating a large unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that provided much-needed reconnaissance and overhead surveillance.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that leaders from these same agencies, along with elements of the National Security Council and the Department of Homeland Security, would use their vast resources to nullify and impede a sitting President of the United States and censor the American people.
NO THANKS: Michigan Offering Locals Measly $500 a Month to House Illegal Aliens By Ben Kew
Mar. 23, 2024 1:40 pm – The state of Michigan is offering locals a measly sum to house illegal aliens as it struggles with the pressure of the ongoing migrant invasion.
According to The Office of Global Michigan’s website, the government will offer homeowners a risible $500 a month if they agree to take in so-called refugees.
“The Newcomer Rental Subsidy program provides Refugees and other Newcomer population-eligible households with rental assistance up to $500 per month for up to 12 months, with eligibility based on immigration status and household income,” the website states.
“Many refugees and other newcomers face critical housing challenges, and this program will increase access to better and more affordable housing opportunities while supporting a more rapid social integration to refugees and other newcomer populations to Michigan,” it continues.
Last month, the Democratic-controlled state similarly asked residents to “sponsor” migrants through acts such as picking them up at the airport and helping them find work.
“Sponsors are expected to provide support to newly arrived refugees for 90 days through acts such as greeting refugee newcomers at the airport, securing and preparing initial housing, enrolling children in school and helping adults find employment,” the statement said.
Michigan is far from the only blue state asking for help from Americans to deal with the migrant invasion. Last August, the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, Kim Driscoll, pleaded with citizens to “step up if you’re willing to have an additional family be part of your family.”
“If you have an extra room or suite in your home, please consider hosting a family,” Driscoll told citizens. “Safe housing and shelter is our most pressing need.”
Meanwhile, deep blue cities across the country such as New York, Chicago and Denver are also at breaking point, as millions of people continue to illegally cross the border every year.
While many of them seek asylum under the guise of being a refugee, the majority are economic migrants simply looking to work in the United States. Many also have links to organized crime, with various gangs and drug cartels using the open border as an opportunity to expand their operations north of Mexico.
Instagram Has Changed All User Settings to Limit Political Content, Here’s How to Change it Back By Cassandra Macdonald
Mar. 23, 2024 5:00 pm – Instagram has changed users’ algorithm settings to limit political content by default.
If you still wish to see political content, you must go into your settings and manually change it by clicking on “content preferences” and then “political content” and selecting “don’t limit.”
On February 9, Meta announced that Instagram and Threads would soon begin limiting political content. The announcement did not say it would change all users’ settings to a limited politics default.
In a statement to Fox News, Instagram said that the change will only impact accounts that you do not follow — and that you can still see political content from accounts that you do.
“This announcement expands on years of work on how we approach and treat political content based on what people have told us they wanted,” the spokesperson said. “It does not impact posts from accounts people choose to follow; it impacts what the system recommends. And now, people are going to be able to control whether they would like to have these types of posts recommended to them.”
According to the Fox report, “some Instagram users said that when they tried to change their settings, the app crashed.”
“The entire app crashes when I go to political settings. That’s wild,” a user wrote in a post on Friday.
“Interesting I went to my settings and privacy and content & went to limit, and it takes me back out of Instagram. It won’t let me change it!!” another comment flagged by Fox News said.
[Ed.: Why would anyone want to change it back?]
PANIC? Obama Has Reportedly Had Meetings With Biden to Talk About the Election By Mike Lachance
Mar. 22, 2024 9:20 pm – Obama has reportedly had at least two meetings with Joe Biden over the last year to discuss the election.
One has to wonder if Obama is concerned about old Joe’s chances in 2024. Why else would he take time away from his life of leisure to meet with Joe?
He has probably seen the internal polling.
FOX News reports:
Obama met privately with Biden and worried Trump may win the 2024 election: Report
Former President Barack Obama privately met with President Biden on at least two occasions and expressed concern that he could lose the 2024 election, according to a report.
A new report from TIME Magazine claimed that Obama met with Biden last June to deliver a warning about his re-election chances. Obama allegedly advised Biden to become more aggressive and make the upcoming presidential race a referendum on Trump.
During a private lunch, Obama told Biden his campaign was unstable, persuading unhappy voters would be a challenge and defeating Trump would be more difficult than 2020, according to a Democrat briefed on the discussion.
While he believed at the time that Biden had taken his advice to heart, Obama allegedly saw little improvement over the next six months.
“This time, Obama’s message was more urgent. He expressed concern the re-election campaign was behind schedule in building out its field operations and bottlenecked by Biden’s insistence on relying upon an insular group of advisers clustered in the West Wing, according to the same Democratic insider,” TIME noted.
That must have been an interesting meeting.
Illegal Immigration Is Illegal: Mexico Disagrees By Antonio Graceffo
Mar. 23, 2024 7:00 am – The second-largest source of income for Mexican drug cartels is human trafficking into the U.S. Laws discouraging illegal immigration challenge that income. The cartels have so much sway over the Mexican government that even the country’s president is speaking out against Texas laws countering illegal immigration.
Earlier this week, a confrontation broke out between Texas Army National Guard troops and a group of migrants who charged a border wall in El Paso. Texas Governor Abbott has called the immigration crisis an invasion.
Attempting to stem the flow of illegals, he came under fire, allegedly for passing a law making illegal entry from Mexico into the U.S. a crime. The irony of this statement is that it is already “illegal” to enter the U.S. illegally.
To be more accurate, Abbott has not made illegal entry into the United States a crime; he has instructed his police officers to enforce existing laws, arrest lawbreakers, and restore legality by deporting the illegals.
Under Title 8 federal authority, it is illegal to enter the US at non-ports of entry, and the punishment is deportation and a five-year ban on future immigration.
Social media accounts in Mexico provide instructions on how to enter the US illegally, including encouraging people to enter at illegal points of entry. Human traffickers, transitional criminal organizations, however, are selling illegal access to the US.
The criminals, generally linked to drug cartels, accept money from the migrants, promising safe passage, but they are being led to illegal entry ports. The money that cartels are earning from illegal human trafficking to the US is used to buy more guns, politicians, and judges, further destabilizing Mexico.
Title 8 states, “The Secretary of Homeland Security shall take such actions as may be necessary to install additional physical barriers and roads (including the removal of obstacles to detection of illegal entrants) in the vicinity of the United States border to deter illegal crossings in areas of high illegal entry into the United States.”
This is one of the many points of contention between Governor Abbott and the federal government. The governor, along with many American Conservatives, is questioning why the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not doing more to prevent illegal immigration and why the Federal government would challenge the Texas governor’s assertion that he has the authority to protect the border of his state to keep his citizens safe.
Additionally, Title 8 mandates the erection of physical barriers to prevent illegal entrance to the US. However, when Governor Abbott implemented barriers, he faced vilification from the media, and the federal government ordered him to remove them.
Governor Abbott’s efforts to enforce immigration law have been challenged at both the state and federal levels. Twenty-five GOP state governors have signed the “Stand with Texas” declaration, expressing support for Governor Abbott and defending the border.
Despite being effectively barred from preventing illegal immigrants from entering his state, Abbott implemented Operation Lone Star Bus, transporting immigrants to sanctuary cities that claim to welcome them.
However, cities like Chicago and others, receiving immigrants from Texas, began taking measures to limit the number of illegals they would accept.
Some of the bus companies transporting immigrants actually sued Chicago. The federal court filing of Wynne Transportation reads, “Rather than welcoming migrants and giving them sanctuary, Chicago is turning its back on those wishing to travel here.”
For Abbott and most conservatives, the fact that even sanctuary cities have finally had enough of illegal immigration should serve as proof that the border needs to be secured. Yet, the border chaos persists at crisis levels.
Told that he cannot prevent individuals from entering illegally and that he cannot transport them across the United States, Governor Abbott decided to address the problem from another angle by arresting those who enter the state illegally, which is consistent with US federal immigration law. And once again, he is facing challenges from immigration rights organizations, mainstream media, and Democrats at the federal level.
Critics argue that the law “creates a climate of fear in Texas where anyone potentially suspected of being an undocumented migrant can be subject to questioning by local police.”
They are concerned that enforcement of the law makes criminals nervous. However, if individuals are worried about being questioned by police when suspected of breaking this law, it is no different from any other law.
If suspected of theft or driving without a license, individuals can be questioned by police. If innocent, they can provide proof, and the matter is resolved.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized the Texas law as “draconian,” “dehumanizing,” and “anti-Christian.” His opposition to the law of the state of Texas, citing its alleged infringement on federal authority, is preposterous given Mexico’s steady descent into becoming a narco-state, where drug cartels control its legislature, judiciary, police, and military.
Obrador’s rebuttal to the Texas law was a nonsensical false equivalent, “It’s as if the governor of Tamaulipas applied a law against Texans who were visiting Mexico or passing through Tamaulipas.”
President Obrador’s point is preposterous. Texas is not making laws about Mexicans legally passing through Texas. The law is about Mexicans, or people from other nations, illegally entering Texas.
Ironically, under Mexican law, it is also illegal for Americans to enter Mexico illegally. It is unclear why Mexico’s president believes the US should not similarly protect its border.
Senate Approves $1.2 Trillion Spending Package, Averting Government Shutdown Risk Until Fall — 25 Republicans Vote with Democrats By Jim Hᴏft
Mar. 23, 2024 8:00 am – The Senate passed a sweeping $1.2 trillion package of spending bills early Saturday morning, effectively delaying any shutdown threats until the fall season.
The bill, which encompasses funding for a multitude of government agencies in favor of the Democrats, is now awaiting Joe Biden’s signature to be enacted into law.
The bill will fund DEI, abortion, and trans ideology without securing the border.
The final tally for the vote was 74-24. This action followed the funding lapsing for government agencies at midnight.
However, the White House was quick to reassure the public, issuing a notice shortly after the deadline that the Office of Management and Budget had ceased shutdown preparations.
“Because obligations of federal funds are incurred and tracked on a daily basis, agencies will not shut down and may continue their normal operations,” the White House statement said per AP.
“It’s been a very long and difficult day, but we have just reached an agreement to complete the job of funding the government,” Schumer said. “It is good for the country that we have reached this bipartisan deal. It wasn’t easy, but tonight our persistence has been worth it.”

Vladimir Putin Speaks to Country Following Crocus City Hall Massacre – Says ISIS Terrorists Were Attempting to Flee to Ukraine [2:20] By Jim Hoft
Mar. 23, 2024 9:00 am – As reported earlier on Friday by Paul Seran, Terrorists attacked a major music venue located in Krasnogorsk, a city in the north-west of the Moscow region, on Friday afternoon. This occurred just days after the American embassy in Russia warned citizens of imminent attacks at mass events.
At least 115 Russians were slaughtered during the attack.
Sputnik reported:
“At least three people in camouflage burst into the ground floor of the Crocus City Hall venue and opened fire with automatic weapons. The gunmen then threw a grenade or an incendiary bomb, which started a fire in the venue, according to a Sputnik correspondent.
Audience members lay down on the floor to escape the shooting. After 15 to 20 minutes they began to move towards the exit.
The Special Rapid Response Unit (SOBR) and Special Purpose Mobile Unit (OMON), as well as firefighters, rushed to the scene of the incident.”

🔅Following the terrible attack in Moscow carried out by ISIS – we call on the Russians to exercise restraint and act only according to international law.
🔸We call for an immediate ceasefire between the parties.
🔸Also, a free ISIS state must be established in Russia, meaning 2 countries for 2 peoples.
🔸We call on the Russians to ensure a regular supply of trucks with food, fuel, and medical equipment to ISIS members until the issue is resolved.
🔸The international community wishes no harm to befall non-involved ISIS civilians.
(We note supposed videos showing Russian soldiers capturing terror suspects and publicly torturing and dismembering them, and WE DEMAND the UN Human Rights Council immediately intervene, and the Russia be immediately taken before the International Court of Justice to get a ruling that such actions are illegal and must be stopped – with Russia to report weekly on measures to prevent public torture and dismemberment.)

Trump: “I Almost Have Five Hundred Million Dollars In Cash” BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, MAR 22, 2024 – 12:54 PM – Former President Trump on Friday said on Truth Social that “through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash.”
The announcement comes as a Monday deadline fast approaches for him to come up with roughly $454 million to stay judgement in his civil fraud case while he appeals.
According to Trump, he had intended to use a “substantial amount” of his money in his presidential campaign.
“THE OFTEN OVERTURNED POLITICAL HACK JUDGE ON THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT A.G. CASE, WHERE I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, KNEW THIS, WANTED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME,” President Trump wrote.
“THAT’S WHERE AND WHY HE CAME UP WITH THE SHOCKING NUMBER WHICH, COUPLED WITH HIS CRAZY INTEREST DEMAND, IS APPROXIMATELY $454,000,000,” he continued. [Shouting not mine]
House Passes Pork-Filled Bill To Fully Fund Government BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, MAR 22, 2024 – With just hours to go before a shutdown, the House has passed the $1.2 trillion minibus bill, which will now head to the Senate.
The vote was 286-134, with 112 Republicans and 22 Dems against.
All 100 Senators will need to agree to a vote to pass the bill before midnight. If this fails to happen, the government would be forced into a partial shutdown on Saturday morning.
President Biden has urged Congress to pass it quickly so he can sign.
“This hasn’t been a perfect process. But we should never let the perfect be the enemy of the good,” said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in response to the House passage. “This is a good result for the American people.”
The bill funds the departments of Homeland Security, State, Labor, Defense, Health and Human Services, among other things. Combined with the $459 billion bill passed earlier this month, the latest funding packages fully fund the federal government to the tune of $1.659 trillion through September, NBC reports.
House Freedom Caucus member Chip Roy (R-TX) railed against the fact that members only had around 24 hours to review the bill – and attacked his fellow Republicans for failing to secure immigration wins.
