Having just written the monthly letter, the realization struck me that nothing had been said about the war in Ukraine.  We’re not hearing much.  I wonder why.

The big peace deal to stop the war in Gaza officially fell apart.  But there’s no shortage of criticism about how the IDF is doing its job.  It seems that an area is never really cleared.  They’ve got tunnels running for miles, as you’ve heard.  The terrorists keep appearing in areas already cleared.  Maybe that was part of the strategy.  It must have cost a lot to dig all those tunnels, and where do you think the money came from?  You don’t suppose humanitarian aid has been used?

The pretender has fallen out of love with the Israeli Prime Minister.  There have been years of accusations and court cases, almost like we’re seeing here with Donald Trump, against Netanyahu.  

Since October 7, things have gotten serious.  The relationship has soured, and our fake president is angry.  It’s made him almost as mad as he is at people who think he’s too old to be president.  But the liberal media is on his side.  They’re mad at Netanyahu too!  Oh well.  They say Biden is done playing nice with Netanyahu.  What’s he going to do?  Cut off the money?

Haiti is a disaster.  The news is talking about a total collapse as if it hasn’t already happened. The gangs have take over, and there are bodies all over the place.

Maybe you’ve seen what happened in El Paso.  There’s been a breach of the razor wire, probably by cartel members, to let hundreds clamor in on foot.  They are already sleeping on the streets  down there, and you might not have a heart if you stop them from stealing.  

Did European governments consult Al Gore before making assurances to get rid of the tractors?  This global warming belief is wearing a little thin.  European governments know they can’t survive if the farmers stop farming.  What is everybody supposed to do, eat or save the planet?  The mainstream media takes it as doctrine.  The mantra about global warming appears in nearly every nature documentary.  It must be a requirement.

It no longer seems that the government is on our side.  There’s more trouble around the world than we could have imagined in only three years.  It seems like Americans are not listening to the higher powers.  Who do we think we are?  

Maybe it would be different if they hadn’t flim-flammed us so many times.  The medical community has virtually destroyed itself over Covid 19.  They’ve got a lesbian doing the White House press conferences.  If our nation continues to mock God and His Commandments, we’ll turn into Haiti in no time.  If you can’t recognize God’s hand in history, and in the formation of the United States you’re not looking.    Mark

The asylum seekers are seen in the images on makeshift beds constructed out of cardboard and sheets, holding their belongings close, as border towns brace for an anticipated flood of migrants once Title 42 is lifted on May 11.

Throngs of migrants were packed tightly on El Paso streets and sidewalks into the early hours, with some taking rest while lying across blankets while others sat perched on the curb.

The asylum seekers photographed in the epicenter of the border crisis appeared to mainly be adults.

Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican, said Mr. Biden’s ballyhooed trip avoided any encounters with the actual chaos of the border, instead delivering a “staged version” of the border to the president that hid the realities communities are facing.

Migrant encampments that had plagued El Paso for months, and which spurred an emergency declaration by the city’s Democratic mayor, were cleared just before Mr. Biden’s visit.

And Homeland Security’s migrant processing facility, which had been bursting, was quickly cut to below its 1,000-person capacity, Mr. Comer said, citing news reports.

A massive group of illegal migrants Monday crossed into the U.S. waving a large Venezuelan flag and, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), attacked Border Patrol agents before being pushed back into the river as agents used crowd-control measures.

The incident, partially caught on video, saw a group of Venezuelan migrants crossing illegally into El Paso, Texas, as they waved the enormous flag. Agents can be seen pushing migrants back into the river while firing pepper balls near them to control the crowd.

In a statement, CBP said a group of Venezuelans had attempted to illegally enter the U.S. while protesting along the Rio Grande’s international boundary.

The agency said one of the protesters assaulted an agent with a flagpole while another threw a rock at agents, injuring one in the process. That in turn led Border Patrol to initiate crowd-control measures.

Vice President Kamala Harris finally visited the US-Mexico border on Friday — but toured an area far from the epicenter of the migrant crisis in what critics slammed as rush-job to get ahead of a visit next week by former President Donald Trump.

Harris was appointed 94 days ago to lead the Biden administration’s response to a surge in illegal immigration and got defensive when asked about the timing of the quick stopover en route to her home state of California.

“It’s not my first trip. I’ve been to the border many times,” Harris snapped after walking down the steps of Air Force Two for the approximately five-hour stop in El Paso, Texas.

Harris added, “I said back in March I was going to come to the border, so this is not a new plan” — apparently referring to the moment she laughed and said “not today!” when asked when she would visit.

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to visit El Paso on June 25, her chief spokesperson confirmed Wednesday in a statement.

There are still no exact details or agenda for the visit, but according to the statement, the goal is to “address the root causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.”

The vice president was just in Guatemala and Mexico earlier this month in her first trip overseas since taking office. The trip was met with a whirlwind of criticism from all sides of the political aisle. Conservatives, particularly U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn of Texas, accused Harris of having her attention set on the wrong border, while progressives lambasted Harris after a video of her urging Guatemalan migrants to not come to the United States went viral — and questioned why Harris, a daughter of immigrants herself, would make such a remark.

The vice president will be accompanied by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the statement confirmed. It’s her first visit to the border since becoming vice president.

Conservatives have been pushing Harris to visit the border for weeks as they raise alarm over what they have described as a crisis. Gov. Greg Abbott has blamed the Biden administration’s immigration policies for the increase of immigrants on the state’s southern border, saying in an earlier disaster declaration that new federal policies have paved the way for “dangerous gangs and cartels, human traffickers, and deadly drugs like fentanyl to pour into our communities.” He announced earlier this month that Texas will take steps to build its own border wall.

In a statement issued Wednesday, Abbott called Harris the “Border Czar,” and touted Operation Lone Star — an initiative to amp upstate law enforcement presence at the border.

Cornyn said in a statement Wednesday, before the trip was announced, that any reluctance to do so is “willful ignorance.”

“Despite what Kamala Harris said in Central America when she said, ‘Do not come,’ the people who are coming are talking to friends and relatives in the United States, they see what’s happening on TV, and the cartels are whispering in their ear,” Cornyn said.

Cruz accused the Biden-Harris administration of being “the last mile of a human trafficking and illegal drug network that cartels are exploiting.”

“It only took more than half a million illegal immigrants entering the United States, more than 400,000 pounds of drugs seized, 19 U.S. Senators traveling to the southern border and 92 days after being appointed border crisis czar for Kamala Harris to visit the southern border,” he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has disputed the idea of a crisis on the border, as NBC News reported, and has said that any ongoing problems at the border are to be blamed on the Trump administration for refusing to cooperate during the presidential transition period.

Harris is not the only major politician making news for planning a visit down to the border. Former President Donald Trump plans on touring Texas’ southern border with Abbott.

The Department of Homeland Security did not return any requests for comment.

Patrick Crusius, 21, emerged with his hands up from a vehicle that was stopped at an intersection shortly after last Saturday’s attack and told officers, “I’m the shooter,” Detective Adrian Garcia said in an arrest warrant affidavit.

Crusius later waived his Miranda rights and agreed to speak with detectives, telling them he entered the store with an AK-47 assault rifle and multiple magazines, and that he was targeting Mexicans.

Twenty-two people were killed and about two dozen were injured. Most of the dead had Hispanic last names and eight were Mexican nationals.

Authorities believe that shortly before the attack, Crusius posted a racist screed online that railed against an influx of Hispanics into the U.S. The document parrots some of President Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric about immigration, but the writer said his views predate Trump’s rise and that any attempt to blame the president for his actions was “fake news.”

Many El Paso residents, protesters, and Democrats have blasted Trump over his incendiary words, blaming Trump for inflaming political and racial tensions throughout the country. Trump has denied stoking division and violence, contending this week that he “brings people together. Our country is doing incredibly well.”

Authorities say Crusius drove more than 10 hours from his hometown near Dallas to carry out the shooting in the largely Latino border city of El Paso. An attorney for the Crusius family, Chris Ayres, told The Associated Press that the rest of the family never heard Patrick Crusius use the kind of racist and anti-immigrant language that was posted in the online screed.

Crusius has been charged with capital murder and is being held without bond. Federal prosecutors have said they are also considering hate-crime charges.

The attack came hours before another mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, in which nine people were killed. The dual shootings, which killed 31 people in all and wounded dozens more, reignited calls for Congress to take immediate action to reduce gun violence.

Trump said Friday that he believes he has the influence to rally Republicans around stronger federal background check laws. But at the same time, Trump said he had assured the National Rifle Association that its gun rights views would be “fully represented and respected.”

And what they reportedly aim to do in El Paso, Texas, is concerning, to say the least.

“Antifa is leading a ‘Border Resistance’ militancy training tour that will converge on a 10-day siege in El Paso, TX,” Quillette editor Andy Ngo tweeted Monday. “The promotional image shows border enforcement officers being killed & government property fired bombed. Organizers asking for ‘white comrades’ to pay for others.”

Agents encountered 1,036 people, primarily from Central America, near El Paso, Texas, early Wednesday morning. The arrest marks the largest group of unauthorized immigrants that Border Patrol has ever taken into custody at once.

The group included 63 children traveling without a parent or guardian. Another 39 people were single adults, and the remaining 934 claimed to be traveling with a family member, according to a report. Guatemalan citizens made up just over half the detainees. The rest are primarily from other Central American countries, including Honduras and El Salvador.

It’s not clear if the group came from Northern Triangle countries as part of a caravan, though it’s not likely, given no news of a convoy traveling through Mexico. Border Patrol has said human smugglers often oversee the movement of migrants at the border and use the groups to distract federal law enforcement while they move narcotics or people hoping to avoid arrest over unmanned parts of the border. Smugglers charge migrants an average of $5,000 to $8,000 each to get to the United States.

Border Patrol said in late March its agents on the southern border had since October apprehended 100 groups that contained 100 or more people. In its 2017 fiscal year, CBP documented two groups of 100 people or more. That jumped to 13 groups in 2018.

Until Wednesday, the biggest group of people to arrive at once consisted of more than 430 individuals. That apprehension took place Monday in the same region of the southern border. Memorial Day marked the busiest day in history for Border Patrol’s El Paso region as 2,200 people were taken into custody.

President Trump told reporters at the White House earlier Thursday to expect a major statement about the border in the next day or two. Wednesday’s apprehension has not been publicly shared by Customs and Border Protection or its parent, the Department of Homeland Security.
