I bet you thought you’d never see Donald Trump getting interrogated by CNN.  Obviously, it was a ratings play that CNN desperately needed.  But it didn’t go well for CNN or the girl asking the questions.  Watch it if you can.  Reports are circulating that the network ended the town hall nearly a half hour early, and no wonder why.  The crowd was extremely vocal in Donald Trump’s favor.  Can you even imagine the headset chatter while this was taking place?  There must have been gnashing of teeth behind the scenes.  Now some of the familiar faces are angry.  How dare CNN, of all places, give Donald Trump the forum to outwit them and draw laughter at the same time?  It was probably one of the biggest audiences for CNN in some time, and Trump made the network and the host look unprepared.  The left gets so unabashedly embarrassed that their only retort is to cancel the guy.  They obviously can’t compete.  So they brand Trump’s wit a pack of lies, and that’s all they’ve got.  I’m having a hard time getting over the fact that he told the female lawyer  she wasn’t his type during a deposition.  That’s brash, and wonderful.  

You can’t escape the border crisis.  The government is telling us they’ve got it under control.  Mayorkas is trying to explain through that idiotic grin, but the pictures tell a different story.  Last night Governor Gregg Abbott appeared with a story of officers using  concertina wire to block the entry of hordes that had already crossed the Rio Grande.  Why hasn’t this been going on all along?  Is there a border there, or not?  Reports claim that everybody is getting free cell phones and being released with notices to appear, ten years from now.  Meanwhile, where would they like to go?  Sending them to New York, Chicago or Detroit turned out to be more than a gimmick.  It’s a headache for “compassionate” Mayors, but at least they’re not in Texas anymore.  

But apparently Title 42 (remain in Mexico) has expired, and we have no , border.  Here comes South America.  What on earth?  Let’s argue about trannies, shall we?

There have been revelations this week that would lead any sane person to change their identity and try to escape to some unlikely paradise.  But it’s going to be a slow motion train wreck instead.  It’s in black and white now, but you wouldn’t know anything if dependent on mainstream outlets.  Shell corporations all over the place, shuttling payments from one to another before finally reaching their intended destination.  Yeah, there’s nothing to see here.  It’ll take forever, and the agencies and corporations will run interference for the duration.  We’ve known things for years that would have changed outcomes, but somehow they never come to fruition.  This money for nothin’ looks bad, but escape hatches are being mapped out, and who knows what they’ll try to make us believe.  This should be good.  

Meanwhile we’re treated like a bunch of imbecilic automatons by those who would inform us. You’re probably talking back to your TV too.  Who can stand it?  These talking heads tell us what to believe and how to look at the devastation being wrought.  The pretender shows up with that squint to read some statement, and the mainstream breathes a sigh of relief.  Maybe everybody will back off now.  

It seems that the mounting evidence may have been underestimated.  But who knows?  Some sweetheart pleading out of lesser charges, maybe a pardon of all family members.  We’re already off the charted map, and the powers that be seem to have an agenda.  America is being overrun, deceived at all costs and spent into oblivion over global warming.  People are starting to get irritated.  May America withstand the onslaught of non-sense, and survive to be saved.

Agents were ordered Wednesday to release migrants from any border sector that reached 125% capacity. They are being released without having a court date and with no way the US can track them, but given instructions to appear at an immigration office within 60 days, according to NBC.

“We’re already breaking and we haven’t hit the starting line,” one DHS official told the network.

A leaked email from Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz published by the Daily Caller instructed agents to facilitate releases if the average time in custody had exceeded 60 hours or if 7,000 migrants were taken into custody across the border in just one day.

The Lone Star State governor, who has been critical of President Joe Biden’s decision to end the Title 42 border policy this week, said members of the “Texas Tactical Border Force,” a special National Guard unit, were being loaded into Black Hawk helicopters for deployment.

“They will be deployed to hot spots along the border to intercept, repel, and to turn back migrants who are trying to enter Texas illegally,” Abbott said at a news conference.

Abbott said a similar strategy was conducted in December in El Paso. In more recent days, the National Guard identified and suppressed a surge near Brownsville, which borders the Mexican town of Matamoros and is near where a person drove into a group of people on Sunday.

The post Title 42 ending: Texas governor announces border force to ‘repel’ illegal immigrants first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Is there anything else that could go wrong?  We’ve seen heartbreaking scenes from the border, but it’s not bad enough yet.  They tell us we’re about to get overrun.  Title 42 you know.  Somebody else is going to have to watch what happens and tell me, or better yet don’t.  

They caught the mass shooter in Texas, an illegal alien whose been deported at least four times.  No, they’re not dangerous.  They’re just looking to improve their lives.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve had about all the kindergarten talk I can stand.  

Is there not enough scandal already?  Hunter’s alimony payments threaten to bring down the whole house of cards.  It’s not enough that the big guy zones out in front of cameras, but you understand, his son brought the legal action that’s playing out now.  He’s gone on offense.  Everybody’s going to get sued, maybe even the laptop repairman.  Is an addict running the whole show?

It’s doubtful any of the principals in the administration would have advised that Hunter bring an action in court that would require the disclosure of foreign income.  Whose idea was that?  At any rate, it’s not going well.  How many of those child support payments are going to legal fees?  It seems the Arkansas judge may not be overly impressed with the high-powered lawyers.  Especially when they’re trying not to disclose sources of income.  Maybe somebody didn’t think this through.  

One of the controversies getting traction this week was an exchange between John Kennedy and Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk.  Senator Kennedy tried to nail down just how much these mind-boggling sums of money the government needs to spend are going to lower the temperature.  He didn’t know.  After all the years of scandals (East Anglia University), Davos meetings where environmental alarmists gather to congratulate one another, they’re no longer trying to convince us of anything.  They’ve got accusations ready to go if we balk at any of their “suggestions,” better known as mandates.  The mainstream news nearly went berserk at the right-wingers talking about the government banning gas stoves.  We were beyond laughable.  But, what do you know?  

It looks like the wheels are coming off the grifter’s administration.  But never underestimate the mainstream media’s ability to deflect and change the subject.  Biden might have already crashed and burned if it weren’t for the fervent and nearly universal fear and hatred for Trump.  Which means fear and hatred of people like us.  Trump tells them off like nobody else dares, and says he’ll reverse all this nonsense.  I don’t know about you, but I hope he gets the chance.  

There have been times in the past when our leaders didn’t seem to have best interests of the U. S. and it’s citizens in mind.  But it’s much worse now.  What are they going to do, start W W III to make sure we don’t find out why the first family is so rich?  We’re starting to wonder.  We don’t even know who’s running the country, but we definitely know who’s not.

Now the Secretary of State is in trouble.  Not only was he apparently involved in the Russian disinformation description of the laptop from you-know-where, now they’re saying that he had some involvement with Hunter.  There are more scandals than we can possibly keep up with, and policy decisions that we can hardly believe are being implemented at the same time.  

Some historical events are about to take place.  The coronation of King Charles for instance.  We know that there would never fail to be an heir of David on the thrown of Israel.  Charles has been an embarrassment since time immemorial.  If anything, he seems more dignified now.  But it looks like he’s a member of the club that’s “saving the planet” at our expense.  

Oh, and the Kentucky Derby is this weekend.  That might not be so depressing.

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.

Here we are, days after the most promoted holiday of the year, and stranded airline passengers are still trying to get home.  Not that they ever got to their intended destination in the first place. 

Canceled flights number into the thousands.  People are throwing fits from coast to coast.  Yes we know about the weather, but this is ridiculous.  What’s wrong with Southwest Airlines?

Notice that no one seems to be freaking out about global warming right now?  What about global cooling (not that there is such a thing)?  People are FREEZING to death, and places that are generally warm suffered an arctic blast.  Temperatures are so cold in the northern states, you’d be dead in minutes if unprotected.  It looks as though the global warming crowd has gone snow skiing, or maybe somewhere in the Caribbean Islands.  That’s where the pretender went.  

We still probably don’t know the extent of suffering and deaths caused by the cold snap.  Maybe these international institutions need to figure out what’s going on to stop people freezing to death.   How do batteries hold up under such conditions?  Asking questions like that will get you banned.

If you look at the claims just outside the mainstream, it appears that government agencies were heavily involved in defending the conventional wisdom. Whatever it was that day.  Anybody who dared dispute the arrogant fear-mongering, was banned.  Even highly educated well respected people, in some cases doctors were cut out of the debate.  There was to be no debate, or “misinformation.”  Anything that varied from the official line, put out by the little doctor or some European institutions, had to be banned.  The whole thing is at odds with the American ideal.  Whatever happened to the First  Amendment?  We understand that you can’t yell “fire!” in a theater, but since when were you forced to espouse some opinion or other because of “policy.”  We’ve not heard the end of it.  Chances are we never will.

As the secret arrangements continue to be aired in public (thanks for that, Mr. Musk) a picture is taking shape.  But there are other players (Facebook, Instagram) in the social media realm, and they were doing the same thing.  Fact-checkers came into vogue, and wouldn’t you know it?  They’ve made the very term suspect.  Curious that they always sided with the preachers of fear, as if there was no other opinion.

There is little doubt the lawsuits will be with us years into the future.  Many businesses ceased to exist through no fault of their own.  They might not have gone out of business, but the mandates made sure that happened, unintentionally we’re sure.  The “mandates” assumed authority that was certainly open to question.  But here came the cops.  Defiance of state authority became very expensive.  We haven’t even begun to hear about the fallout.

My Dad always said that the Beast power would emerge as the result of a worldwide economic crisis.  You might have noticed, global stocks lost $18 trillion in value recently.  Bloomberg has a chart that dates all the way back to 2001, and the plunge in current values is deeper than anything we experienced in 2008 or 2012.  Money has been so easy to come by, inflation is raging and interest rates are rising steadily in response.  

You have to brace yourself before any news exposure.  It’s not easy watching the blessings of God being squandered by those who think they’re smarter than the Creator.  The Supreme Court apparently decided that Title 42 could continue a bit longer, and maybe that will help.  But the scenes at the border will make you lose sleep.  This isn’t the first time we had leadership that blamed America for all the world’s ills.  We pray this one meets justice.

The court ruled on Tuesday that Title 42, which for the last two years allowed the government to expel migrants who might otherwise qualify for asylum because of the COVID-19 pandemic, must remain in place.

The decision is a win for Republican officials who opposed lifting the rule, and is a reprieve of sorts for the Biden administration, which had faced growing questions from lawmakers about whether it was prepared to handle the influx of migrants that was expected to follow the end of the rule.

The border crisis took no time off this Memorial Day weekend as thousands of migrants continued to pour over the southern border.

More than 4,000 migrants illegally crossed the border via the Rio Grande Valley over the course of the long weekend, Fox News has learned.

“There’s no effort to actually secure the border and to figure out who and what’s coming in when you create a chaotic situation like this, and they have created this through their policies,” Scott said.

BORDER PATROL CHIEF ‘EXTREMELY PROUD’ AS AGENTS NAB MULTIPLE SEX OFFENDERS, DRUG HAULS OVER THREE DAYS

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol has encountered 1,219,920 undocumented migrants so far in 2022, and that number appears far from slowing amid the administration’s efforts to end Title 42, a health order that allows the U.S. to turn away undocumented migrants seeking asylum.

The Department of Justice announced it will appeal a decision handed down last week by a federal judge that blocked the administration from ending Title 42, however the DOJ has not officially filed the appeal.

Once Title 42 expires, the Department of Homeland Security predicts up to 18,000 migrants could cross the border daily.

Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz announced Friday that agents had nabbed 10 sex offenders, a slew of deadly drugs, and other illegal immigrants wanted for serious crimes in three days.

The post 4,000 illegal immigrants crossed border over Memorial Day weekend in Rio Grande Valley sector alone first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are demanding that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immediately deploy already-procured security equipment and technologies at the southern border in order to mitigate the surge in illegal border crossings and the influx of drug and human smuggling.

In a letter, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, sent to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, House Committee Homeland Security Ranking Member Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., and Rep. Young Kim, R-Calif., led colleagues in expressing concern that the Biden administration is not deploying technologies at the border in order to address the migration crisis.

The lawmakers say that because the Biden administration canceled a series of border barrier contracts, already-procured technologies are being stored in warehouses, costing American taxpayers without any benefit. They site the fact that border agents encountered nearly 235,000 migrants at the southern border in April, while over 17,800 pounds of deadly fentanyl have been seized by agents since the start of fiscal year 2021.

4,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS CROSSED BORDER OVER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IN RIO GRANDE VALLEY SECTOR ALONE

“We are troubled by claims that DHS is not fully deploying innovative ‘smart’ technologies along the border, such as AST towers and fiber optic sensors, that have been procured by the federal government through contracts previously granted for building border barrier infrastructure,” the lawmakers wrote.

“Instead of making use of these innovative technologies to improve security in our southern border, decrease the influx of illegal drugs and human trafficking operations, we have been told the federal government has decided to store them at significant expense while also placing a large burden on contractors, some of whom have been ordered to remain in an indefinite holding process. These contractors continue to incur significant costs while not being able to sell and/or wind down investments.”

The Republicans issued the DHS secretary a list of demands, including a complete accounting of the procured technologies being stored in warehouses, a list of how much of the technology is still operational, and whether there are any proposals to use the equipment by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or any other agencies.

“Failing to mount an adequate response to the upcoming surge in illegal crossings, especially when no contingencies are currently in place to make up for the rescinding of Title 42 policy, presents a major risk to CBP personnel while threatening their important efforts to interdict drug smuggling and illicit human trafficking at our border and its legal points of entry,” the congressmen wrote.

The Biden administration came under fire from both Republicans and Democrats for planning to end the Title 42 public health order, which has been used since March 2020 to expel a majority of migrants at the southern border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, a federal judge on May 20 temporarily blocked the administration from ending Title 42, saying the end of the order would increase border crossings and would also violate the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), which requires a notice-and-comment period and also bars moves deemed “arbitrary and capricious.”

Mayorkas visited the Rio Grande Valley section of the southern border last month and met with CBP officers, who were concerned that the termination of Title 42 would be catastrophic due to an anticipated migrant surge.

DHS did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital on the letter.
