Biden is clearly playing politics with the immigration crisis.

The clash between the Biden Administration and Texas spilled out into the open last week, when the US Supreme Court ruled that Federal authorities could remove razor wire that Texas Governor Greg Abbott had been installing along the border with Mexico to stop the millions of illegal immigrants from crossing over to the United States.

This time Abbott did not back down. Instead, he issued a statement declaring that “an invasion under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3” of the US Constitution is underway and invoking “Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.”

Here Governor Abbott answers an important question I brought up back in my 1988 US Presidential run: at what point do open borders and mass illegal immigration into the US become an “invasion,” which would grant governors the authority – and obligation – to take action?

By some estimates, more than six million illegal immigrants have crossed into the United States during the three years of the Biden Administration. These illegals likely mostly come from Mexico and Central America, but the fact is we have no idea how many of them may be arriving from, for example, the Middle East or other war-torn areas of the world. Last month even the New York Times wrote of the disaster on the US border that, “thousands of migrants are arriving at the border every day, trekking from the farthest reaches of the globe, from Africa to Asia to South America, driven by relentless violence, desperation and poverty.”

With the world awash in US weapons, it’s not hard to imagine the danger of the situation.

It is a problem that the Biden Administration is not willing to tackle, likely for political reasons particularly in an election year. And Biden found an ally in the US Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Roberts with the ruling that Federal agents may begin removing barriers set up by Texas authorities. But the intensity of the dispute became apparent this time when 25 Republican-led states issued statements in support of Texas.

It began to look like a showdown and many even began to invoke words like “secession.”

However, if the Biden Administration intends to use the Supreme Court ruling to take action against the Texas border barrier there are more immediate ways of defending the border. Rep. Thomas Massie took to Twitter last week to recount a meeting he and a group of US House Members had with the late Justice Antonin Scalia. At the breakfast, Massie wrote, Justice Scalia told the group to quit complaining about Supreme Court rulings and start defunding rulings they oppose.

As Massie explained in another Tweet, “Congress can render the 5-4 Supreme Court decision against Texas IRRELEVANT by simply refusing to fund Biden’s removal of border security measures.” Nullification through the “power of the purse” is an important tool given to Congress in the US Constitution and it could be easily exercised in this case.

Biden is clearly playing politics with the immigration crisis, claiming last week that as soon as Congress passes yet another immigration “reform” bill – one that includes $100 billion in military welfare for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan – he will take steps to address the Border. Congress should reject this blackmail and US states should continue to take measures – including nullification of the Supreme Court ruling – to protect against invasion.

Biden administration left with egg on their faces as they’ve been insisting for months that prices have been coming down as 2024 election closes in.

Biden Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claimed that Americans realize prices are not going to come down anytime soon.

“I think most Americans know that prices are not likely to fall,” Yellen told ABC News on Monday. “It’s not the Fed’s (Federal Reserve) objective to push the level of prices back to where they were.”

Yellen’s admission totally demolishes the talking points peddled by the Biden regime in recent weeks.

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and members of his campaign have been lying through their teeth about falling prices in recent remarks.

“Over the last year, prices are down on everyday items, from a gallon of gasoline to a gallon of milk, and folks are beginning to feel it,” Biden falsely claimed last week.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre likewise claimed that inflation has fallen back down to pre-pandemic levels, ignoring the fact that overall prices are up over 17% since Biden took office.

Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), Biden’s campaign co-chair, also falsely claimed that prices are down.

“As inflation has come down, prices have come down as we’re beginning to see the impact in people’s pocketbooks of President Biden’s leadership,” Coons told CNN last week.

All the Biden administration can do is lie its way through 2024 election if it has any prayer of defeating Donald Trump.

Biden aides reportedly attempting to again leverage Swift’s star power in desperate last ditch effort to inject momentum behind 81-year-old Democrat.

Pop star Taylor Swift allegedly has the power to sway the 2024 presidential election.

According to a Newsweek poll, 18 percent of voters said they’d vote for whatever candidate the megastar singer endorses.

“18 percent of voters say they’re ‘more likely’ or ‘significantly more likely’ to vote for a candidate endorsed by Swift,” writes Newsweek.

Swift endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020 over Donald Trump, and Biden aides are reportedly attempting to again leverage her star power in a desperate last-ditch effort to inject momentum behind the 81-year-old Democrat.

“That includes potential fundraising appeals, and even one idea that’s reportedly been floated in jest: sending Biden to a stop on Swift’s ‘Eras Tour,’ which is slated to return to the US in October, shortly before the election,” reports Business Insider.

“There’s also some evidence that a second Swift endorsement would be consequential,” notes Insider, adding that “More than 35,000 people registered to vote after Swift urged her Instagram followers to do so in September.”

Add to that the fact Swift is newly energized after her latest boyfriend Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis “Mr. Pfizer” Kelce‘s AFC Championship victory Sunday, after which she’ll remain in the national spotlight heading into Super Bowl LVIII. 

As noted by Human Events editor Jack Posobiec, while Swift at one time slammed globalist billionaire George Soros after he funded the purchase of her music, she has come full circle back to supporting the establishment.

At the time, she went full-on anti-Trump and became a TDS-suffering liberal.

All of the above.

2018 Taylor Swift discussed with her parents and management team how important it is for her to speak out against Trump et al.
The “she” Swift mentioned is Sen Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).pic.twitter.com/vPNyeqOVcW https://t.co/94C4DlIrhH

Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy voiced his concern the outcome of the Super Bowl could be pre-determined in a way to make Swift’s endorsement even more powerful.

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month. And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months,” Ramaswamy theorized.

Conservatives on X rejected the establishment’s effort to use Swift as a psy-op to sway the masses, with popular user @DC_Draino going as far as to say the “fate of the free world rests upon” the shoulders of the San Francisco 49ers who have a chance to smack down Swift’s team at the Super Bowl.

Now there are even calls to have Swift run as Biden’s VP.

“Forget Kamala Harris, put Taylor Swift on Joe Biden’s ticket,” reads an opinion piece at The Baltimore Sun.

“She should seriously consider running for vice president,” the author wrote. “You might think that this is a tongue-in-cheek recommendation, but think about it…Democracy could come to an end in America if Donald Trump is elected. Vice President Kamala Harris should step aside for the good of the nation. Putting Swift on the ticket will dramatically boost voter registration among Democrats.”

All of this comes on the heels of Swift making headlines last week after social media users created sexually graphic AI images of her, over which the artist may sue.

Do the so-called Swifties have the numbers necessary to determine the outcome of the next election and carry senile Biden across the finish line?

Known terrorists are easily able to enter and travel within the U.S. thanks to Biden’s criminal open-border policies.

Federal authorities caught a terrorist at the U.S. southern border then released him into the country — where he roamed freely for nearly a year until his arrest in Minnesota just days ago.

According to an internal federal memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, the unnamed individual identified only as a member of the Somali terror group al-Shabaab was released into the U.S. after he was apprehended at the border near San Ysidro, California in March 2023.

The memo sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials explains the Terrorist Screening Center “deemed him a ‘mismatch’” after running his name through the terror watchlist.

But the memo states that on January 18, 2024, the Terrorist Screening Center “made a redetermination” that the individual was “a confirmed member of al-Shabaab” and was involved in the use, manufacture or transport of explosives or firearms.

This comes amid reports the Border Patrol caught 172 terror watchlist suspects attempting to illegally enter the U.S. during fiscal year 2023. 

The Border Patrol continued to catch another 50 illegal immigrants on the terror watchlist between October and December 2023.

“Many within the Biden administration, including Secretary Mayorkas, have repeatedly assured us that the vetting process at the border is comprehensive and complete,” John Fabbricatore, a retired ICE field director who now sits on the National Immigration Center for Enforcement’s (NICE) board, told the DCNF.

“However, we continue to witness alarming instances where terrorists are able to freely roam the United States for months after being released at the border before their criminal and terrorist histories come to light.”

The U.S. has considered Al-Shabaab a terrorist organization since 2008.

“Al-Shabaab has carried out bombings, including suicide attacks, and the group has assassinated Somali peace activists, international aid workers, journalists and numerous civil society figures, according to the National Counterterrorism Center. The terror group carried out a 2013 attack on Westgate mall in Nairobi, killing 67 people, and in 2017 killed hundreds of civilians in Mogadishu through two suicide attacks,” the DCNF reported.

A group of former high-level FBI officials warned Congress in a letter last week that Biden’s open-border policies are putting the American people in “imminent danger.”

“Military-aged men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands — not by splashing ashore from a ship or parachuting from a plane but rather by foot across a border that has been accurately advertised around the world as largely unprotected and with ready access granted,” the letter stated.

“It is stark to say so, but having a large number of young males now within our borders who could begin attacking gatherings of unarmed citizens, in imitation of 10/7 and at the behest of a foreign terror group, must be considered a distinct possibility,” the officials added.

Billionaire businessman says he hires using ‘race and gender’ as part of the equation

American businessman Mark Cuban revealed on social media over the weekend he’s been violating federal laws by discriminating against potential employees based on their race and sex.

Responding to ? user “The Rabbit Hole,” who posted about running a colorblind meritocracy where the merits of an individual are used to judge hiring candidates instead of their race, Cuban noted, “I’ve never hired anyone based exclusively on race, gender, religion.”

He went on to admit, “I only ever hire the person that will put my business in the best position to succeed. And yes, race and gender can be part of the equation. I view diversity as a competitive advantage. “

A commissioner from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (@USEEOC) commented on Cuban’s post to set him straight, writing, “Unfortunately you’re dead wrong on black-letter Title VII law. As a general rule, race/sex can’t even be a ‘motivating factor’—nor a plus factor, tie-breaker, or tipping point. It’s important employers understand the ground rules here.”

Libs of TikTok suggested Cuban “opened himself up to endless lawsuits” by saying he had previously given a competitive advantage to prospects based on race and gender.

Cuban co-owns the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks basketball team and hired Cynt Marshall as CEO in 2018 before recently selling a majority of his shares in the team for over $4 billion.

A video being shared online shows Marshall admitting she “made leadership changes” in the organization that left the team’s staff with almost 50% women and 47% minorities in leadership positions.

The left is openly promoting racism as long as it is white Americans who are getting the short end of the stick.

Texas has earned another chance to restate its position & provide the district court & 5th Circuit with solid justification for ruling in the state’s favor regarding the border invasion!

The following is a breaking exclusive from Retired ICE Agent Dean Fittz and has been confirmed with high-level federal sources familiar to Infowars:

On January 29, 2024, the 5th Circuit panel that was to hear oral arguments on the merits of the case decided that it needed more information from the parties involved, and has instructed the circuit court to hold additional hearings on the matter. The decision by the 5th Circuit has not been announced publicly, but the oral arguments set for February are to be canceled.

This will provide the state another chance to restate their position and hopefully provide the district court and 5th Circuit with solid justification for ruling in the state’s favor.

The 5th obviously did not feel that they had enough information, they know they can’t win on what they have if they reverse the district judge.

They want the district judge to bail them out with factual findings they can use to reverse the preliminary injunction order.

The three judges are all conservatives, my bet is they want Texas to win.

You just read the bombshell update. Original article below:

The State of Texas placed razor wire at specific areas along the border with Mexico in Eagle Pass to deter illegal aliens from crossing at certain points.  DHS then cut the razor wire. Texas then filed suit against DHS in the Western District of Texas to prevent DHS from cutting the razor wire. 

The federal judge hearing the case, Chief US District Court Judge Alia Moses, issued the first Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that DHS could not forcibly remove or cut the razor wire. Following a hearing with both Texas and DHS, the judge did lift the TRO and entered a preliminary injunction order deciding that DHS was again allowed to cut the razor wire.

Texas then appealed the preliminary injunction order to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and asked for injunctive relief from the district court decision, so that DHS could not cut or remove the razor wire until the suit was decided by the 5th Circuit.

Circuit courts have a process to split cases into two parts if one party asks for some type of stay or injunctive relief while the merits of the case (the district court’s decision) is on appeal. Two panels were assigned – one  to hear the merits of the basic case itself and the second to hear the TRO request, separately. 

On December 19, 2023, the one panel decided to effectively pause the district court order, or issue their own TRO, to stop DHS from cutting the razor wire, but that TRO was only to be effective as long as the second panel was deciding the merits of the case. 

The second panel will decide the merits of the case itself, which is whether the decision of the district court judge was correct in its findings in its preliminary order that DHS can remove the razor wire installed by the state. The second panel hearings for both parties is set for oral arguments on February 7, 2024. 

While the parties are waiting to argue the legal merits of the district court’s preliminary injunction order, DHS filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging only the 5th Circuit’s order on the TRO. That’s what the Supreme Court vacated (stopped, ended, lifted) a few days ago, the TRO issued by the 5th Circuit. That means that DHS can start removing or cutting razor wire installed by Texas.

But DHS has not started removing or cutting the razor wire installed by Texas. One reason may be that DHS does not want to upset the 5th Circuit by making a move the circuit may ultimately decide against based on the February 7th hearing results. The response by Texas has been just the opposite, they started installing more razor wire and barriers since there is nothing stopping them.

None of the courts have ever entered an order that says the state has to remove the wire fence.  None of the courts have ever entered an order preventing the state from installing a wire fence. The only orders entered were about whether DHS can cut the wire to “enforce the immigration law.”

If the 5th Circuit upholds the district court’s preliminary injunction order, the case will still go back to the district court to have a final trial in the case. Texas could still have a chance to win at that level.  

While Biden is considering activating the Texas National Guard to federal service, there are more states with GOP governors that are pledging their National Guard troops to assist Texas. And CBP has already advised that Border Patrol will not be attempting to force the National Guard or Texas State Troopers, stating that “the relationship between Border Patrol, Texas DPS, and the Texas Military Department remains strong. The bottom line is that Border Patrol has no plans to remove infrastructure placed by Texas along the border. Our posture remains the same.”

While Biden’s own federal officials have called his bluff, it is unclear if he will try to act with force against state peace officers and military troops performing their duties. But, never underestimate the perfidity of the current resident in the White House.
