As if we needed any more evidence that President Joe Biden&#8217;s foreign policy has destabilized the Middle East, emboldened American adversaries, and put U.S. forces and our allies in harm&#8217;s way, it looks like another terrorist group is close to entering the unprecedented assault on Israel’s right to exist: The Houthis.
On Thursday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-navy-shoots-down-drones-missiles-fired-by-iranian-backed-terrorists-in-yemen">reported</a> that the USS Carney intercepted several missiles heading in the direction of Israel over the Red Sea. The Pentagon confirmed that the Houthis fired the projectiles from Yemen, and vowed to stand ready to prevent any hostile missile strikes in the region.

&mdash; NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) <a href="https://twitter.com/NEWSMAX/status/1715097928388268290?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 19, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Now, many are worried that the projectiles were a sign that the Houthis will <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-20/who-are-yemen-s-houthis-can-they-strike-israel#xj4y7vzkg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directly</a> join Hamas&#8217; attack on Israel. 
Yet for anybody who has been paying attention, an event like this was entirely predictable. Without going into all the details of Yemen’s war that began in 2014, Biden’s decisions as commander-in-chief should be scrutinized. 
First, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/in-foreign-policy-shift-biden-lifts-terrorist-designation-for-houthis-in-yemen#:~:text=In%20foreign%20policy%20shift%2C%20Biden%20lifts%20terrorist%20designation%20for%20Houthis%20in%20Yemen,-Feb%2016%2C%202021&amp;text=The%20Biden%20administration%20on%20Tuesday,U.S.%20relationship%20with%20Saudi%20Arabia">removed</a> the Houthis’ terrorist designation less than one month into its term. The Biden administration believed that the label, placed on the Shi’ite group by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the waning days of the Trump administration, hampered the ability to negotiate peace in war-torn Yemen.
At the time, critics warned that removing the label before the Houthis made any concessions would fail to alleviate tensions in the country. In fact, it would only make them — and their primary sponsor, the Iranian government — harder to defeat. 
The Biden administration thought appeasement was the best path forward. Most observers would recognize that&#8217;s how the current president operates in most facets of world affairs. (See <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/xis-just-not-that-into-you-climate-czar-john-kerry-still-simps-for-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">China</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-to-lift-some-venezuelan-sanctions-if-they-pinky-promise-to-hold-free-elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Venezuela</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meads-joe-bidens-energy-policy-is-the-embodiment-of-america-last" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iran</a> for examples).
Then, in March of 2021, Biden&#8217;s team <a href="https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/03/yemen-humanitarian-aid-restore-houthis-biden-lenderking.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CJust%20today%2C%20the%20US%20restored,Yemen%20a%20foreign%20policy%20priority">announced</a> it would restore &#8220;humanitarian aid&#8221; to certain parts of Yemen. The Trump team similarly ended that foreign aid over concerns that the Houthis would siphon it to carry out deadly attacks.

The Biden administration trusted the terrorists would begin acting in good faith, and that the aid would flow to Yemenis who needed it. 
How naive can you get?
In May of 2021, U.S. Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking <a href="https://ye.usembassy.gov/special-briefing-via-telephone-with-timothy-lenderking-u-s-special-envoy-for-yemen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> that the Houthis had been less than cooperative with U.S. requests for peace.
&#8220;We were disappointed, frankly, that on the last trip to Oman, the Houthis declined to meet with the UN special envoy,&#8221; Lenderking said, noting that the decision represented &#8220;a trend&#8221; with the Houthis.
The Houthis &#8220;while showing constructive engagement on a number of occasions with different stakeholders, have then backtracked or, as we say in sports terminology, moved the goalposts to what has been agreed to,&#8221; Lenderking noted. &#8220;And there won’t be a peace deal without strong Houthi support.&#8221;
You would think at least one person in the Biden administration would hear those words and question whether the Houthis viewed them all as a bunch of suckers. That obviously did not happen, because the White House’s policy of effectively rewarding enemies without major concessions has continued unabated. (See the latest shipment of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/totally-inappropriate-trump-others-blast-biden-for-giving-palestinians-fresh-u-s-tax-dollars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$100 million</a> to Gaza, for the latest example) 
Now, it should be noted that the two sides in that conflict were able to secure a truce that lasted for about six months. Since then, the war has been in a bit of a stalemate. One thing that has become abundantly clear is that the Houthis aren’t going anywhere.
It would appear they are now using that staying power — and aid from Iran — to attack Israel or at least test the waters from Yemen.
To top it all off, for some reason, the Biden administration refuses to admit that Iranian-backed terror groups are coordinating their attacks on Israel. Perhaps they think that if they were to, then they’d have to admit their &#8220;diplomacy&#8221; with Iran has done little to squash its support of terrorism. 
&#8220;Does the department really see no connection between the Gaza war and what just happened?&#8221; a reporter <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/3563350/pentagon-press-secretary-air-force-brig-gen-pat-ryder-holds-an-on-camera-press/">asked</a> Brigadier General Patrick Ryder on Thursday, referencing the Houthi missiles as well several other attacks in the region. 
&#8220;Look, again, it&#8217;s important to separate these attacks from the current situation,&#8221; Ryder said.
One thing that can’t be separated from the “current” situation is that the moment we are living in is the direct result of the president’s failed foreign policy. Nobody fears the U.S. with Biden in charge. Instability and weakness, not peace and strength, is the hallmark of the Biden era — to the benefit of those who hate America and her strongest ally Israel.

Wednesday morning, President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> announced a fresh $100 million dollars for &#8220;humanitarian aid&#8221; in Gaza, as well as Judea and Samaria. Of course, critics were quick to point out that there is a strong likelihood that that funding will wind up in the hands of the very Islamic extremists at war with Israel.
Among those who took ire with Biden&#8217;s decision was former President Donald Trump. From a lower Manhattan courthouse, where the GOP frontrunner is facing a civil fraud legal battle, Trump blasted the current commander-in-chief.
&#8220;I think right now it&#8217;s totally inappropriate. It&#8217;s so inappropriate — to be doing that right now? He&#8217;s over in Israel, and he&#8217;s giving money to the Palestinians,&#8221; Trump said in disbelief.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s pretty inappropriate,&#8221; he added again for good measure.

Earlier in the day on Twitter, Biden seemed aware that Hamas would attempt to steal some of this money.

As president, Trump ended all aid to Gaza and Judea and Samaria as part of his strong anti-terror foreign policy. The Biden administration <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hamas-donald-trump-middle-east-israel-palestinian-conflict-a6c56286aece202f2ffbc7ab500c605c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">restored</a> that aid <a href="https://twitter.com/SecBlinken/status/1379857846112780295?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1379857846112780295%7Ctwgr%5E5a33d1eb9874f53dec64ad05c874fd11ec56c5ee%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.france24.com%2Fen%2Fmiddle-east%2F20210407-us-restores-aid-to-palestinian-cut-by-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in</a> April 2021. Just weeks later, Hamas launched 4,000 rockets at Israel.
At the time, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) presciently <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hamas-donald-trump-middle-east-israel-palestinian-conflict-a6c56286aece202f2ffbc7ab500c605c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, &#8220;The longer Joe Biden shows weakness to Hamas or Hezbollah or Iran, the more you’re going to see terrorist attacks escalating.&#8221;
Indeed, the most recent Hamas terrorist attack came after the Biden administration announced it would be unfreezing $6 billion in Iranian money.
For his part, Trump also slammed the tragedy in Israel as the latest evidence of &#8220;the deadly consequences&#8221; of Biden&#8217;s &#8220;three years of breathtaking weakness and appeasement,&#8221; in an opinion column for <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-bidens-weakness-incompetence-strengthened-iran-hamas-opinion-1835513" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Newsweek</a>.

This author has said it once, and he&#8217;ll say it again: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/americas-enemies-have-a-best-friend-in-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">America&#8217;s enemies have a best friend in President Joe Biden</a>.
The latest evidence proving that statement can be found in his administration&#8217;s purported plan to ease Venezuelan sanctions in exchange for the Maduro government&#8217;s pinky promise to hold free elections next year.
On Tuesday, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-10/us-venezuela-near-deal-on-sanctions-relief-for-steps-toward-fair-elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the U.S. government and Venezuela are close to finalizing the deal: Biden and co. will lift sanctions on oil drilling and banking — but only after socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro and his gang announce democratic reforms.
This could allow Venezuela access to upwards of $3 billion frozen in European banks while enriching the government&#8217;s pockets due to the country&#8217;s natural resources. These sanctions were imposed on the Latin American nation by former President Donald Trump in 2019. Maduro is notoriously corrupt. It stands to reason that he will be made richer once these sanctions are lifted.
If you haven&#8217;t noticed, the Biden administration seems intent on undoing Trump&#8217;s foreign policy — even if it rewards America&#8217;s adversaries. (See: Iran.)
Of course, it&#8217;s unclear how seriously Maduro&#8217;s commitment to &#8220;free and fair&#8221; elections should be taken.
In July 2022, Elliott Abrams, the U.S. Department of State’s special representative to Venezuela, <a href="https://ge.usembassy.gov/maduros-election-plan-no-participation-no-choice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warned</a>, &#8220;The conditions for free and fair elections are actually much worse today than they were in May 2018, when Maduro held the presidential elections that democracies all over the world have said were fraudulent.&#8221;
Maduro has claimed that 2018 was a fair election — despite the evidence to the contrary. He&#8217;s not fooling anybody, except the Biden administration.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
One Republican who has spent years warning against alleviating sanctions is Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL).
As recently as September 2023, Rubio wrote a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
&#8220;Any sanctions that would benefit the Venezuelan regime, as well as on [Petróleos de Venezuela], oil production, or refinement, or infusing Chinese cash into the Maduro regime is a direct threat against U.S. national security interests and the safety and wellbeing of our region,&#8221; Rubio said recently.
Rubio stressed Maduro is not to be trusted.
&#8220;The regime’s political and economic mismanagement has caused the largest refugee crisis in the world, which has driven more than 7 million Venezuelans to flee their homeland,&#8221; he added. &#8220;To make things worse, the narco-regime continues to fund terrorist organizations in neighboring Colombia as well as fomenting instability and serving as sponsors of a major international drug trafficking ring that contributes to the growing opioid epidemic in our country.&#8221;
Biden has made it a habit to engage in dialogue with Maduro by easing sanctions.
In 2022, Rubio blasted Biden for his appeasement.
“President Biden claims to support democracy and human rights, but his foreign policy strategy is actually built around appeasement and giving concessions to dictators,” Rubio <a href="https://www.rubio.senate.gov/rubio-on-venezuela-sanctions-relief-president-biden-continues-to-appease-dictators/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in May 2022.
&#8220;Simply put, President Biden is strengthening illegitimate, corrupt regimes in our hemisphere that undermine American national security,&#8221; he added.
This latest report also comes as the Biden administration openly brags about slowing down U.S. oil production. Venezuela&#8217;s oil production? Go right ahead, Maduro, just ensure it&#8217;s a so-called fair election — what does that mean exactly?
Well, at home, the GOP frontrunner is facing lawfare via a litany of arguably bogus indictments — which should give you an idea as to how seriously Biden takes making sure elections are free and fair.
America last, indeed.

WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 7: President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken walk into the State Dining Room to deliver remarks on the terrorist attacks in Israel at the White House on October 7, 2023 in Washington, DC. The White House has said that senior national security officials have briefed the President on the attacks on Israel that were carried out by Hamas overnight and White House officials remain in close contact with their counterparts in Israel.

At this point, the bar for President Joe Biden&#8217;s response in times of crisis is pretty low. The guy is a disaster.
Yet, after one of America&#8217;s strongest allies was viciously attacked by a group that seeks to wipe it off the face of the earth — an attack where Americans were among those murdered or taken hostage by the barbaric Islamic extremist group Hamas — it must be asked: Where the hell is Biden?
On Saturday morning, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-offers-unwavering-commitment-to-israel-after-iran-backed-hamas-invades-country" target="_blank" rel="noopener">addressed</a> Hamas&#8217; unprecedented assault on the people of Israel in a short speech. Since then, the American people have learned that at least nine fellow U.S. citizens were killed. An undetermined number of Americans were reportedly captured by the terrorists.
In response, Biden has been out of sight, out of mind. Prior to noon on Monday, the White House comms team <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-says-biden-wont-speak-monday-despite-american-deaths-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> a lid on the day — meaning Biden would not be making any more public appearances.
After that, Hamas threatened to kill civilian hostages for every unannounced air strike conducted by Israel. That could include Americans.
Since early Monday morning, the White House&#8217;s and Biden&#8217;s social media accounts have tweeted about abortion, junk fees, Big Pharma, September job numbers, and American technology companies.
Biden and his gang were blasted online for their absence on the world stage.
&#8220;American hostages being held in Gaza by Iran backed terrorist organization and the White House called a lid before noon,&#8221; conservative communications professional Greg Price tweeted. &#8220;Maybe we should get an actual president before a new Speaker of the House.&#8221;

There was one American leader who stepped up to the plate Monday — former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
&#8220;Now is the time for action,&#8221; McCarthy said .&#8221;America needs a five-point plan to meet this moment, to help our ally Israel, and to strengthen our own future. The very first thing we need to do is rescue the American hostages. President Biden&#8217;s number one priority right now must be finding out how many Americans have been taken hostage and getting them home. From last night to this morning, the number of American deaths has doubled from four to nine. This administration must also make clear that harming any American will result in the wrath of the United States. We cannot repeat what happened in Afghanistan. It must be clear that we do not negotiate with terrorists and no American will be left behind.&#8221;

Where The Hell Is Biden? President AWOL As Americans Killed, Held Hostage In Terrorist Attack

Biden Admin

Radical Islamic Terror

Looks like twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton still isn&#8217;t over her 2016 loss — and still hasn&#8217;t come to grips with the fact that millions of Americans detest her worldview.
On Thursday night, Clinton sat down with CNN&#8217;s international propagandist Christiane Amanpour to discuss a range of issues, including former President Donald J. Trump&#8217;s sustained popularity.
While discussing the divide within the GOP, Clinton spouted off that &#8220;so many of those extremists, those MAGA extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. He&#8217;s only in it for himself. He&#8217;s now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions.&#8221;
Trump has faced a wave of lawfare against him ever since leaving the Oval Office and is currently facing four indictments carrying 91 charges. All of that left Clinton wondering, &#8220;When do they break with him?&#8221;
&#8220;You know, because at some point, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen,&#8221; she said in her classic condescending tone.

The clip sparked outrage on social media — with many arguing her comments were downright anti-American.
&#8220;This is beyond arrogance it scary,&#8221; Fox Business host Charles Payne said. &#8220;You know conversations and planning are happening among the &#8216;elite.&#8217; This goes against the ethos of America.

In that same interview, Clinton argued that there&#8217;s clearly a common sense part of the Republican caucus in the House&#8221; and argued that those who recently voted with Democrats to continue funding the government were an example of Republicans she approved of.
Back then at an unnamed time — perhaps in the 1990s when she vilified her critics as being part of a &#8220;vast Right-wing conspiracy&#8221; — she said there were disagreements, but &#8220;there wasn&#8217;t this little tail of extremism&#8230; wagging the dog of the Republican Party.&#8221;

Hillary Clinton Suggests ‘Formal Deprogramming Of The Cult Members’ Of MAGA

Elections

Welcome to the Creep State, where the Deep State springs into action at the behest of the creeps of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/biden-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden administration</a>.
The latest evidence we&#8217;re living in a totalitarian regime can be found in the SEC&#8217;s announcement today that they are investigating Elon Musk&#8217;s purchase of Twitter — now known as X. They&#8217;re even taking him to court to get him to testify. The lawsuit came almost a year after President Joe Biden (creeper-in-chief) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-all-knew-bidens-goons-would-target-elon-musk-the-president-telegraphed-it-last-november" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the business move was &#8220;worth being looked at&#8221; and declined to say if he thought that Musk was a national security threat.
When asked how he would do that, Biden ominously chuckled, &#8220;There’s a lot of ways.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
BIDEN: I think that Elon Musk&#39;s cooperation and or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at. Whether or not he is doing anything inappropriate — I&#39;m not suggesting that — I&#39;m suggesting that it&#39;s worth being looked at. But that&#39;s all I&#39;ll say. <a href="https://t.co/I11l87M5FQ">pic.twitter.com/I11l87M5FQ</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Well, now, multiple government agencies have opened probes or lawsuits into Musk and his many businesses. On Thursday, CNBC reported that the SEC has sued Musk in &#8220;an effort to compel the billionaire to testify over his purchase of Twitter last year.&#8221;
Musk reportedly failed to show up for testimony on <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/05/sec-sues-to-force-musk-to-testify-in-twitter-probe.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">September 15</a> after being served a subpoena in May 2023, per the media outlet.
“Musk’s ongoing refusal to comply with the SEC’s administrative subpoena is hindering and delaying the SEC staff’s investigation to determine whether violations of the federal securities laws have occurred,” the attorneys wrote in the complaint. “Accordingly, the SEC now asks the Court to compel Musk to appear for investigative testimony.&#8221;
What&#8217;s Musk&#8217;s crime? Well, on paper it&#8217;s hard to say. The SEC is just asking questions.

In reality, it appears he committed the unforgivable sin of going against the Left and exposing the corruption between the federal government and Twitter to censor Americans. After purchasing Twitter, he embarrassed and weakened the government&#8217;s ability to control the people. He supported free speech and refused to bow to tyrants.
He does things like shoot guns, criticize the FBI, praise Tucker Carlson&#8217;s interviews, reject radical gender ideology, and has a sense of humor. More egregiously — to Biden and his ilk in The Swamp — he doesn&#8217;t go along with the latest Forever War in Ukraine. He puts Americans first.
All of that, and more, is why the Left hates him.
Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-all-knew-bidens-goons-would-target-elon-musk-the-president-telegraphed-it-last-november" target="_blank" rel="noopener">telegraphed</a> that Musk would be investigated. Now, it&#8217;s happening. Nobody should be surprised at what The Creep State will do.

Boy, what a difference a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/latest-apprehension-data-blows-massive-hole-in-bidens-border-narrative" target="_blank" rel="noopener">few million or so</a> illegal aliens make.
The Biden administration has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-sees-our-country-is-being-invaded-trump-calls-for-return-to-his-policies-after-dhs-waives-laws-to-build-border-wall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">waived</a> more than two dozen regulations — trampling upon environmental concerns Leftists once cared about — so that a wall along the southern border could be built in certain “high illegal entry” areas.
President Joe Biden previously vilified former president Donald Trump for his efforts to build a &#8220;big, beautiful wall&#8221; along the southern border. Once Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/01/20/fact-sheet-president-biden-sends-immigration-bill-to-congress-as-part-of-his-commitment-to-modernize-our-immigration-system/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stepped</a> into the Oval Office, he put a stop to new construction of the barrier, promising that his administration would not build &#8220;one more foot&#8221; of the structure. In fact, he even said that Trump&#8217;s vision for a wall was &#8220;not a serious policy solution.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
We need more tests. Our front line workers need protective equipment. Americans need additional economic relief.
Yet the Trump Administration is spending time and energy on President Trump&#39;s wasteful border wall.
Unbelievable. <a href="https://t.co/RY12LJAYGS">https://t.co/RY12LJAYGS</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Now, the Department of Homeland Security has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dhs-waives-dozens-of-laws-to-build-border-wall-in-texas-citing-illegal-alien-surge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that the situation at the border makes it “necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements” in order to ensure the expeditious construction of “physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States,&#8221; The Daily Wire previously reported.
Of course, it stands to reason that Biden and his ilk have always known that walls work but opposed one for several reasons. The first is that Biden campaigned on undoing everything that Trump had put in place. That included border security measures that kept Americans safe.
The second reason Biden wanted a lax border is that he and his comrades think it beneficial for the country to have hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of foreigners come in as cheap labor and new votes. Consider recent comments from New York Governor Kathy Hochul, whose state has been flooded with illegals ever since January 2021.
&#8220;We&#8217;re giving asylum seekers and migrants an opportunity to achieve the American Dream that they&#8217;ve wanted for themselves and their families — one that was afforded to so many before them,&#8221; Hochul said after announcing that foreigners will now be legally allowed to work in her state.

In other words, she believes these illegals crossing the border every day are no different than your grandparents who came here in search of a better future. These individuals are only allowed to work thanks to permission from the <a href="https://time.com/6316829/biden-administration-venezuelans-legal-status/">Biden administration</a>, of course.

Yet, the third reason that Democrats opposed strict border security was because they thought it was politically expedient to demonize Trump and any Republican voter who wanted to protect American sovereignty. Consider that, as a candidate, Biden was quite vociferous in his promise to only deport those who commit felonies: 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
While running for President in 2020, Biden promised to NOT enforce our immigration laws. He was asked many times if he would deport people who enter the country illegally. He promised not to.
He even said that people who enter America illegally and commit crimes here could stay. <a href="https://t.co/jnQuy6uZt8">pic.twitter.com/jnQuy6uZt8</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
What happened next was easy to predict: The entire world took it as an open invite once he was named the 2020 winner. 
Now, the crisis has overwhelmed liberal states, and their own voters are getting a little miffed. This recent protest in New York sums up the situation quite nicely. Poor AOC could barely hear the sound of her own voice:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
WATCH: <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AOC</a> gets drowned out by outraged New Yorkers yelling “CLOSE THE BORDER!” as the city becomes overrun by migrants.
Who else is surprised she managed not to dance in their faces this time?

In turn, polls show that it&#8217;s <a href="https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_bb05bc5c-402d-11ee-92aa-9fde9245d46a.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no bueno</a> that the border is wide open. So, the Democrats must recognize they need to at least feign interest in protecting Americans, which is likely why Mayorkas announced this action last night.
But so long as Democrats keep offering jobs, free housing, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegally-immigrating-is-a-no-brainer-free-video-games-empanadas-and-24-7-snacks-in-nyc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video games,</a> schooling, clothes, and more with little to no chance of deportation, illegals will continue to come over in record numbers.
And for the American people, the damage has already been done under Biden&#8217;s two-and-half years in office. Our country has been forever altered due to the sheer number of people who have come across the border.
The president will try to claim he cares about unlawful migration — just look at the wall he built — but the ravaging effects of however many illegal have come over will be felt for years to come.
He’ll never admit it, but it stands to reason that he knows Trump was right about the border and the need for a wall.
Instead, Biden will focus on what political issue he thinks he can wield to beat down his political opponent in 2024, and how to wield rhetoric to demonize his opponents.
It stands to reason that if first came the illegals, followed by work permits, then mass <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bad-news-for-americans-bipartisanship-is-back-here-comes-amnesty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amnesty</a> will be up next. Democrat leaders have already called for it. Republicans better be prepared to go on the offensive with that one. 
For now, let&#8217;s not be fooled by Biden&#8217;s sudden about-face on the issue of Trump&#8217;s wall.

Scalise was one of the names floated by Gaetz as a possible replacement for McCarthy.

A left-wing group has sued in yet another state to try and keep former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> off the 2024 ballot.
This time, the nonprofit known as Free Speech For People filed suit in the Wolverine State to block Trump, citing his actions during the January 6 Capitol protest as sufficient legal evidence to bar him from the ballot under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Mark Brewer, the former Michigan Democratic Party Chair and an attorney for Free Speech For People, filed the suit on behalf of Michigan voters Robert LaBrant, Andrew Bradway, Norah Murphy, and William Nowling on Friday, <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/trumps-2024-ballot-eligibility-challenged-again-in-michigan-lawsuit/">according</a> to Courthouse News.
“Despite knowing that violence was ongoing at the Capitol and that his violent supporters would heed a call from him to withdraw, for 187 minutes, Trump refused repeated requests that he instruct his violent supporters to disperse and leave the Capitol,” Brewer wrote in the suit. “Instead, he reveled in the violent attack as it unfolded on television.”
The attorney claimed, &#8220;The events of January 6, 2021, amounted to an insurrection or rebellion under Section 3: a violent, coordinated effort to storm the Capitol to obstruct and prevent the Vice President of the United States and the United States Congress from fulfilling their constitutional roles by certifying President Biden’s victory, and to illegally extend then-President Trump’s tenure in office.&#8221;
Michigan isn’t the first state in which this group is trying to block Trump’s ballot presence. It also filed suit in Minnesota and attempted the same gambit in New Hampshire, but the group&#8217;s effort was blocked by the Granite State&#8217;s Secretary of State.
&#8220;As long as he submits his declaration of candidacy and signs it under the penalties of perjury and pays the $1,000 filing fee, his name will appear on the presidential primary ballot,&#8221; Secretary of State David Scanlan said in a press conference.
Scanlan also <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-new-hampshire-gop-ballot-block-consitution-insurrection-56f75ee5d650988d304308c5c912e9b2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained</a> that barring Trump could prove disastrous for the electoral process.

“In a situation where some states permit a name to appear on the ballot and other states disqualify it, chaos, confusion, anger, and frustration will be the result,” he said. “At a time when we need to ensure transparency and build confidence among voters around the country, the delegate selection process should not be the battleground to test this constitutional question.”

In recent weeks, conservatives seem to be under the impression that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigration</a> surges in places like New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles will finally force the Democratic Party to change its tune on the decades-long problem, but it’s abundantly clear that local and state Democrats believe in a solution to illegal immigration that only worsens it. In short, Democrats across the country think the problem can be solved by telling illegals, “You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.”
Consider the Empire State as proof of that theory.
“We have to let the word out that when you come to New York, you’re not going to have more hotel rooms,&#8221; New York Governor Kathy Hochul <a href="https://twitter.com/theblaze/status/1704947510844768435" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> recently. &#8220;We don’t have the capacity, so we have to also message properly that we’re at our limit if you’re going to leave your country, go somewhere else.&#8221;
This week, Hochul also said of illegal aliens, “We hit our capacity, so we’re asking other areas to embrace these individuals.”

What she should be calling for is mass deportations. 
The Big Apple’s Mayor Eric Adams similarly claims to care about the issue, but wants different cities around the country to shoulder the burden. Or, he wants more <a href="https://apnews.com/article/migrants-asylum-new-york-city-adams-1f90630f590f0ec4dd0c99b04a7528ab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">federal dollars</a> to help provide freebies and more to illegal immigrants.
On the West Coast, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/l-a-mayor-says-city-welcomes-immigrants-but-shes-fearful-planes-of-illegal-aliens-will-start-coming-any-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> in September that she is “fearful” planes of illegals will show up any day.
Again, an easy way to alleviate that fear would be to embrace policies that secure the border, discourage illegal immigration, and remove illegals already in the country.
Yet it seems the truth is that liberals, and certain Republicans, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pick-the-crops-and-clean-our-homes-democrats-love-illegal-aliens-for-cheap-labor-and-votes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">want this invasion to continue</a> because it will provide cheap labor for Big Business and eventually new votes for the Democratic Party.
That’s why you have folks like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) calling for amnesty for “however many” illegals exist in the U.S., and not many Republican leaders voicing their opposition to such a statement. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bad-news-for-americans-bipartisanship-is-back-here-comes-amnesty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bipartisanship, baby!</a>
And so, as we saw on Martha’s Vineyard last year, the liberal solution to the problem is removing illegal immigrants from their area. Just not out of the country. 
The crisis will continue so long as that’s their stance and the Republicans don&#8217;t put up any meaningful political resistance to stop it.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 14: Residents attend a rally against the housing of migrants at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn on September 14, 2023 in New York City. Dozens of people attended the evening rally where various speakers denounced both city leaders and President Joe Biden for the current situation with a large number of homeless migrants in New York City. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has said that she and President Biden’s administration have reached a tentative agreement with the use of Floyd Bennett Field’s Runway 19 to be used to shelter over 2,000 migrants.

Have you noticed the entire world is destabilizing under President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>? 
Afghanistan, Ukraine, Niger, Sudan, America’s southern border, and more have all been thrown into chaos under Biden’s watch. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/americas-enemies-have-a-best-friend-in-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hostile actors feel emboldened</a> and allies are uneasy, doubtful that Biden knows what he is doing as commander-in-chief.
Now, the latest geopolitical upheaval could be happening along Serbia’s border with Kosovo. 
Last Sunday, there was a standoff between more than two dozen Serbian men and Kosovo police officers. That standoff ended in bloodshed, with both sides pointing fingers at each other. Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008, is blaming the Serbian government for the deadly skirmish. Serbia denies this, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/30/europe/kosovo-tensions-military-buid-up-explainer-intl/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to CNN.
Since then, the Serbs have been building up troop presence along the two countries&#8217; borders. Now, the White House is telling Serbia to back off and maintain order. Meanwhile, NATO is increasing its troop presence in Kosovo.
“This is not the kind of an attack that was carried out randomly or ad hoc or by some small group,” White House National Security Spokesman John Kirby said Friday. “The amount and the types of arms that were found represent a threat to the safety of not only Kosovo personnel, but international personnel including NATO troops.”
Kirby added that the U.S. believes “this is a very destabilizing development.”
And that right there can sum up Biden&#8217;s presidency on the world stage. As mentioned, there has been much instability under Biden. As previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rapid-reaction-fani-willis-wants-to-get-trump-viktor-orban-wants-to-get-him-back-in-oval-office" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discussed</a>, it&#8217;s hard not to look at the chaos the world is in under Biden — which began with his horrendous Afghanistan withdrawal — and yearn for Pax Trumpana.

Former President Donald Trump’s unpredictable foreign policy yielded more stability than Biden’s predictable fecklessness. 
PS: The Serbia-Kosovo border seems to be yet another border the Biden administration cares about more than our own. When is Kirby going to admit that Biden’s illegal immigration policies, or lack thereof, have resulted in a very &#8220;destabilizing situation&#8221; for Americans?

Florida Governor and GOP presidential candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> has a sharp strategy for dealing with illegal immigrants if he is elected to the presidency: Start by deporting every illegal who entered the country under President Joe Biden, and allow states to partake in removals as well.
DeSantis made his promise to remove Biden’s illegals while speaking in California on Friday.
“So, everyone that has come illegally under Biden, [we gotta] send them back. So, that’s going to be the first priority. That’s probably six or seven million people right there,” he speculated while adding, “It’s going to require a lot of effort, it’s going to require us to lean in, but if you don’t have a sanction for violating the law — I support building a wall, I support all this — you’re going to continue to have it.&#8221;

Last spring, the data <a href="https://cis.org/Arthur/Bidens-Released-Least-2020522-Southwest-Border-Migrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed</a> that the Biden administration had released at least two million illegal aliens into the U.S. That number did not include the likely million-plus illegal aliens who evaded authorities altogether. Since then, the number of illegal aliens who have crossed the U.S. border has continued apace with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/thanks-joe-september-reportedly-saw-highest-border-encounters-ever-more-than-260000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">September</a> seeing more than a quarter of a million encounters at the Southwest border.
Based on those numbers, five or six million would likely be a conservative estimate by the end of Biden’s term. 
Former President Donald Trump &#8212; the current GOP frontrunner &#8212; is also campaigning on enacting massive deportation raids, but DeSantis argued Friday that Trump failed to deliver on those promises during his first term.

&#8220;I would note that the former president is campaigning on the same promise he made in ’16 that he didn’t deliver on,&#8221; he added. &#8220;In fact, Obama’s first term there were more deportations than under Trump’s term in office. Now, he is saying he is going to do this great thing. He had four years and didn’t get the job done. We are going to get the job done.&#8221;
As flagged by <a href="https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2023/09/30/desantis-promises-to-deport-every-illegal-migrant-that-came-to-the-us-under-joe-bidens-term-n2629155" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Townhall.com,</a> DeSantis also plans to give states the necessary authority to remove illegal aliens.
“When I am president, we are going to unleash the states; they are going to be equal partners with enforcing immigration law,” DeSantis recently told The Blaze’s Glenn Beck.
“If someone comes across the river illegally into Texas, Texas should be able to send them back,” he gave as an example.

All of it sounds great and is what is desperately needed — but if DeSantis hopes to have better success than Trump as president, he better also be prepared to deal with the mountain of lawsuits sure to follow. As president, the Trump administration faced practically an endless number of <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2019/11/05/all-the-presidents-immigration-lawsuits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuits</a> — many of which either hampered or slowed his ability to deport illegal aliens and enact the immigration policy he wanted. (See the<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-supreme-court-rules-against-trump-admin-on-daca-roberts-strikes-casts-swing-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> DACA debacle</a>).
If he wants to carry out these plans as commander-in-chief, DeSantis first has to win the GOP primary — and right now, national and state polls <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/latest-presidential-polls-trumps-national-lead-hits-new-high" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suggest</a> that Trump is the runaway winner.
Nonetheless, the Florida governor’s deportation policies should be commended and adopted by whoever winds up with the nomination.
