Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) released a new statement on Saturday night about why he allegedly decided to pull a fire alarm earlier in the day which has landed him under investigation and sparked calls that he should be criminally charged and expelled from Congress.
Bowman, who is a former school principal, pulled the fire alarm in the House Cannon office building as House Democrats were trying to delay a vote on a GOP stopgap spending bill, which sparked an evacuation of the building.
&#8220;I want to personally clear up confusion surrounding today&#8217;s events,&#8221; Bowman said in a statement. &#8220;Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open. I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door. I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion this caused.&#8221;
&#8220;But I want to be very clear, this was not me, in any way, trying to delay any vote,&#8221; he claimed. &#8220;It was the exact opposite &#8211; I was trying urgently to get to a vote, which I ultimately did and joined my colleagues in a bipartisan effort to keep our government open. I also met after the vote with the Sergeant at Arms and the Capitol Police, at their request, and explained what had happened. My hope is that no one will make more of this than it was. I am working hard every day, including today, to do my job, to do it well, and deliver for my constituents.&#8221;
Punchbowl News co-founder John Bresnahan posted a photo of the door where Bowman pulled the fire alarm which shows that a red sign that reads “EMERGENCY EXIT ONLY” was present at the time that Bowman pulled the lever.
An additional photo showed that the fire alarm was the only thing fixed to the wall that could be activated that did not require a maintenance key.

The daughter of scandal-plagued <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hunter Biden</a> reportedly lived in the White House near the time that she represented a foreign nation.
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/09/30/hunter-bidens-daughter-represented-peru-while-living-in-the-white-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that 29-year-old Naomi Biden was a &#8220;lawyer on behalf of the government of Peru around the same time she was living at the White House&#8221; with her grandfather, President Joe Biden.
According to the Post, Naomi Biden began working for Arnold &amp; Porter around the time that Joe Biden was sworn into office and, in September of 2021, she &#8220;appeared in a filing disclosing that she was providing legal representation for the government of Peru in a case brought by Worth Capital Holdings 27 LLC, which claimed the country was interfering in their operation of an oil refinery in the southern Amazon.&#8221;
The company sought over half a billion dollars in damages.
Naomi Biden lived at the White House from August 2022 to March 2023, the report said. She married attorney Peter Neal in November 2022.
The Post noted that a representative for Naomi Biden claimed that she only worked on the case in September 2021.
&#8220;Naomi Biden’s international arbitration work doesn’t include matters involving the United States government — she is a junior lawyer and a member of international arbitration teams involving private sector plaintiffs,&#8221; a spokesman for Arnold &amp; Porter told the Post. &#8220;She doesn’t discuss confidential client work with anyone inside or outside the White House.&#8221;
The report noted that the company appears to have undergone great lengths to shield Naomi Biden, whose title is “international arbitration associate,” from the public eye as she does not have a public website page like the other lawyers at the firm do.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) responded to the story, &#8220;Everywhere we look it seems there are major conflicts of interest in which the Biden family leveraged their name, access, and patriarch’s power to benefit personal business dealings.&#8221;
&#8220;All of this must continue to be investigated and exposed – perhaps Biden’s granddaughter should be the next person to come before the Oversight Committee,&#8221; she added.

MSNBC host Alicia Menendez addressed on television Saturday evening the scandal that her father, Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bob-menendez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bob Menendez</a> (D-NJ), is facing after being indicted earlier this month on federal corruption charges.
The federal indictment against Bob Menendez and his wife was unsealed last week and accused the senator and his wife of accepting bribes from three business people in exchange for actions that he took as chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee. According to the DOJ, the bribes — which included hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, gold bars, a luxury car, and more — were intended to protect the businessmen and to benefit Egypt.
Bob Menendez faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted of the charges, which include conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right.
Alicia Menendez said on her show, &#8220;American Voices with Alicia Menendez,&#8221; which has been on MSNBC for three years, that she will not be reporting on the case.
&#8220;Hey everyone, I’m Alicia Menendez. Welcome to American Voices,&#8221; she began. &#8220;We have a lot to get to tonight, but I want to begin on a personal note.&#8221;
&#8220;Last week, a grand jury indicted U.S. Senator Bob Menendez,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;This past week, dozens of members of his own party have demanded his resignation. I have been watching, along with all of you, as a citizen and also as his daughter. I will not be reporting on the legal case.&#8221;
&#8220;That said, my colleagues across MSNBC and NBC News, they have aggressively covered the story, and they’ll continue to do so, as they should,&#8221; she concluded on the matter.

U.S. Senate

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate</a> passed a bill late Saturday night to keep the U.S. government open and running through mid-November.
The bill was passed 88-9 with Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Mike Braun (R-IN), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Mike Lee (R-UT), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Rand Paul (R-KY), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), and J.D. Vance (R-OH) voting &#8220;no.&#8221;
The Senate passed the bill after the House passed the bill earlier in the day with 335 votes — 209 Democrats and 126 Republicans.
The funding includes $16 billion in &#8220;disaster relief funds, an extension of a federal flood insurance program and FAA reauthorization — but no Ukraine aid,&#8221; The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/30/government-shutdown-updates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
The passage of the bill came just hours before the U.S. government was set to shut down at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday.
After voting “no” on the bill, Paul said, “When I said I&#8217;d do everything I could to stop the U.S. government from being held hostage to Ukraine, I meant it.”
“We cannot continue to put the needs of other countries above our own,” he said. “We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the U.S. economy. I&#8217;m grateful to all Members of Congress who stood with me, but the battle to fund our government isn&#8217;t over yet &#8211; the forever-war crowd will return.”
President Joe Biden released a statement following the bill&#8217;s passage praising both parties for being able to work together to avert a shutdown.
&#8220;Tonight, bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate voted to keep the government open, preventing an unnecessary crisis that would have inflicted needless pain on millions of hardworking Americans,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/09/30/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-passage-of-the-bipartisan-bill-to-keep-the-government-open/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;This bill ensures that active-duty troops will continue to get paid, travelers will be spared airport delays, millions of women and children will continue to have access to vital nutrition assistance, and so much more. This is good news for the American people.&#8221;

Senate Passes Bill To Keep U.S. Government Open Through Mid-November

Spending Bill

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.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
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.

Liberal HBO host Bill Maher defended Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> during an interview this week over a &#8220;despicable&#8221; hit piece that The New York Times wrote about how he managed the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.
DeSantis appeared on &#8220;Real Time&#8221; with Maher Friday evening where the two talked about DeSantis&#8217; record and his Republican presidential campaign.
&#8220;I&#8217;m fed up with woke, too,&#8221; Maher said. &#8220;That&#8217;s why I have trouble with friends in Hollywood. I&#8217;m an old school liberal, and that&#8217;s a whole different thing than woke. And I&#8217;m sympathetic to you because, you know, you very often, like, take on an issue where I feel like, yeah, there is crazy stuff going on in schools. There is crazy stuff.&#8221;
Maher mentioned, though, that the problem is that some people do not understand why it was important to take on Disney or fight wokeness in schools because they don&#8217;t actually see what is going on.
&#8220;This idea of ideology corrupting institutions, I see it in Los Angeles with the amount of crime that&#8217;s here and the homelessness,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;There are people that commit crimes who are not prosecuted like they would be in Florida. Our state&#8217;s crime rate is at a 50-year low. You elect these people like Gascón and what they did in San Francisco. You can break into somebody&#8217;s house or mug somebody, and you don&#8217;t end up going to jail?&#8221;
&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t work, but that&#8217;s driven by ideology,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So it&#8217;s not just we&#8217;re having just a philosophical debate. I think woke ideology has corrupted institutions. I think it&#8217;s corrupted things like the CDC with how they handled COVID with the nonsense that they did. So it&#8217;s a broader issue than just a philosophical fight.&#8221;

After DeSantis brought up how he fought against heavy-handed government restrictions during COVID, Maher responded, &#8220;You keep wanting to get back to that and I don&#8217;t blame you because you&#8217;re right.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re on the same page there. And I think it&#8217;s unfair what they did to you because you did handle it better,&#8221; Maher continued. &#8220;You did handle it better. You were right. You were like, let&#8217;s target the people, protect the people who are most vulnerable, and everybody else can go on with their lives a little better. You opened schools sooner. And a lot of the stuff that&#8217;s come in, the information we have after now we&#8217;ve had a few years to look at it, you were more right, and they won&#8217;t give you credit with it.&#8221;
Maher then specifically highlighted The New York Times&#8217; coverage. &#8220;I saw The New York Times with such a despicable hit piece on you &#8230; I forget what the lead headline was, but it was basically Ron DeSantis f***ed up the pandemic,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And then like, at the very end, it says Florida&#8217;s death rate, overall, is better than the national average. And if you&#8217;re going to do an article about Florida and the pandemic, shouldn&#8217;t that be the lead? Shouldn&#8217;t that be the headline — I mean, talk about burying the lead.&#8221;
DeSantis said that if he is elected president, he will &#8220;bring accountability&#8221; so that the government overreach that happened during the pandemic &#8220;never happens in our country again.&#8221;

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;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
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.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
&#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.

DeSantis’ Plan To Deport All Illegals Who Entered Under Biden, ‘Unleash The States’ Is Sharp Policy

DeSantis' Plan To Deport All Illegals Who Entered Under Biden, ‘Unleash The States’ Is Sharp Policy

Joe Biden

Now we’re talking!
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) is already moving to draft a resolution to have Congressman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal &#8220;The Fire Alarm Guy&#8221; Bowman</a> (D-NY) expelled from the House of Representatives after he pulled a fire alarm at the Cannon House Office Building ahead of a motion to adjourn on Saturday.
Bowman claims it was a mistake. He said he thought that pulling the alarm would open the door.

All of this calls into question Bowman’s IQ. He’s pictured pulling the alarm, admitted to doing so, and is a former middle school principal.
His defense is that he’s too dumb to know that pulling a fire alarm would trigger a fire alarm.
The more likely explanation is that he thinks you’re too dumb to not believe him, and that he feels confident he won’t face any discipline for allegedly breaking multiple laws.
As commentator Mary Katherine Ham put it, &#8220;He’s on camera and they don’t say it was unintentional. They said he didn’t understand what intentionally pulling an alarm, as he’s pictured doing, would do. Charge him.”

Now We’re Talking: GOP Rep Moves To Expel Jamaal ‘The Fire Alarm Guy’ Bowman From Congress

Now We're Talking: GOP Rep Moves To Expel Jamaal 'The Fire Alarm Guy' Bowman From Congress

Nicole Malliotakis

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. House</a> overwhelmingly passed a stopgap spending measure to prevent a government shutdown for 45 days that avoids sending additional aid to Ukraine.
The measure, which includes $16 billion for U.S. disaster relief aid, passed 335-91 with nearly every Democrat joining a majority of Republicans in voting to pass the bill after Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told members of his caucus to vote in favor of it, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/live-blog/live-updates-government-shutdown-set-begin-midnight-rcna118172" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The bill now heads to the Senate where leaders are expected to ask members to approve an expedited vote in an attempt to pass the continuing resolution later in the day on Saturday before the deadline hits at 12:01 Sunday.
&#8220;The House just passed a short-term stop-gap measure that will keep the government open, pay our troops, and fully fund disaster relief,&#8221; House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said following the measure&#8217;s passage. &#8220;Now, the Senate must act.&#8221;

&mdash; Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerMcCarthy/status/1708196532351348963?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 30, 2023</a></blockquote>

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reportedly argued against proceeding with the House&#8217;s CR because it did not have funding for Ukraine, but he was ultimately overruled by Republicans. GOP senators in favor of continuing to aid Ukraine believe Congress will pass additional funding to the European country after agreeing to a long-term spending package in the near future.
While President Joe Biden&#8217;s request for disaster relief aid made it into the stopgap measure, the administration was unhappy with the lack of support for Ukraine in the measure. After the House passed the CR, the White House pressured McCarthy to pass a separate bill that provides funding to Ukraine.
&#8220;We fully expect Speaker McCarthy—who has stated his support for funding to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s illegal and unjustified war of aggression—will bring a separate bill to the floor shortly,&#8221; a White House official said in a statement.

A chorus of Republicans in the House and Senate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jd-vance-blasts-democrats-for-blocking-spending-bill-that-didnt-include-aid-to-ukraine-as-govt-nears-shutdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strongly opposed</a> any spending package that includes additional funding to Ukraine. Last week, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said he would not allow an expedited funding bill that includes financial support for Ukraine to make it quickly through the Senate. Meanwhile, a group of other Republicans, led by Sen. JD Vance and Texas Rep. Chip Roy, sent a letter to Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, saying that they, too, would oppose further aid to Ukraine.

“The American people deserve to know what their money has gone to. How is the counteroffensive going? Are the Ukrainians any closer to victory than they were 6 months ago? What is our strategy, and what is the president’s exit plan? What does the administration define as victory in Ukraine?” the letter asked. “It would be an absurd abdication of congressional responsibility to grant this request without knowing the answers to these questions.”

House Passes Stopgap Spending Measure With No Additional Support For Ukraine

If this author knows anything about anything, it&#8217;s that Democrats and the Left think that even the most minor disruption of an official proceeding of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Congress</a> is just about the worst thing you can do in American politics these days (or so they claim). Such an action desecrates the hallowed ground walked upon by our nation&#8217;s public servants and spits on the Constitution itself, Legacy Media has beaten into us for the last two-and-a-half years.
No matter how small or non-violent the action might be, even if accidental, anybody who would disrespect Congress must be thrown into the slammer, made an example out of, and have his or her life ruined. They should be given a nickname, too. Like The Lectern Guy, or The QAnon Shaman fella with the horns.
And so, it gives me no pleasure to say, but the evidence suggests that Congressman Jamaal &#8220;The Fire Alarm Guy&#8221; Bowman (D-NY) is now a threat to democracy who must have the book thrown at him.
On Saturday, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-rep-reportedly-caught-on-camera-pulling-house-office-fire-alarm-ahead-of-continuing-resolution-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Bowman was seemingly caught on camera pulling the fire alarm at the Cannon House Office Building ahead of a motion to adjourn on Saturday as Democrats seek to delay a continuing resolution vote. Bowman and his ilk are threatening to shut down the government if Ukraine doesn&#8217;t get their money in the stopgap spending bill.
We didn&#8217;t think Bowman would literally threaten to shut down the government by sending everybody into a panic, but a still image of a man who looks a lot like Bowman pretty much confirmed it.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Bowman allegedly broke multiple laws with such a heinous action. First, it&#8217;s a crime in Washington, D.C., to pull a fire alarm when there actually isn&#8217;t a fire.

Secondly, obstructing a Congressional proceeding is a felony.
Congressman Troy Nehls (R-TX) offered to apprehend him.
&#8220;I’m hearing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) was CAUGHT ON CAMERA pulling the fire alarm in a House Office Building to delay the CR vote. IF TRUE: he should be charged with obstructing an official proceeding which is a FELONY. As a former Sheriff, I’d happily slap the cuffs on him.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Now, Bowman&#8217;s spokesperson is saying that he did not mean to cause a panic. It was all a big misunderstanding.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
NEW: Bowman spox Emma Simon on him pulling the fire alarm.
“Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote. The Congressman regrets any confusion.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
But oh no, just like those who entered the Capitol on January 6 and have argued they didn&#8217;t mean to break any laws, Bowman can&#8217;t be let off the hook. He wouldn&#8217;t want that either if he had any legal and moral consistency.
As Bowman once said, &#8220;No one in this country is above the law.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
This is a post from Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY). 
This is the same guy who was just caught on camera pulling the Cannon fire alarm in an alleged attempt to delay the CR vote.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Rules are rules. Bowman needs to be held to the same standard set by the Democrats. He can tell his sob story to the judge.
PS: Bowman is a former middle school principal. He didn&#8217;t know pulling the fire alarm would cause chaos? Give me a break.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D) was a high school principal before getting elected to Congress.

Bowman, America weeping, Fire alarm

Rules Are Rules: Jamaal ‘The Fire Alarm Guy’ Bowman Is A Threat To Democracy

January 6

New reporting suggests that the U.S. Border Patrol experienced the highest number of border encounters ever recorded in a single month — a staggering figure north of a quarter of a million. With a president like Joe Biden in charge and with a Democratic Party doing everything to encourage illegal immigration, it&#8217;s no wonder those numbers are so high.
On Saturday, Fox News&#8217; Bill Melugin and Griff Jenkins reported &#8220;Per CBP sources, initial data for September shows there were over 260,000 migrant encounters at the border, making it the highest single month ever recorded.&#8221;
As pointed out by Jenkins, &#8220;The previous highest month was this past Dec of 252,320.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
BREAKING: Per CBP sources, initial data for September shows there were over 260,000 migrant encounters at the border, making it the highest single month ever recorded.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The data comes as the White House continues to claim that the southern border is secure and that the Biden administration&#8217;s policies are working as intended.
&#8220;The president has worked very hard to implement a strategy, when it comes to the border, that is humane, safe, and has orderly enforcement,&#8221;  White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/border-ebbs-flows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
But as previously discussed, orderly does not mean that illegal aliens are turned away at the border. Rather it means that they are let into the country with ease.
In other words, the Left’s definition of “order” simply means that illegal aliens are “processed” by immigration officials and then released into the country via new “legal” measures.
So, the Biden administration has contrived new ways of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-to-allow-hundreds-of-thousands-of-illegal-immigrants-to-stay-and-work-in-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speeding up the process</a> for individuals to apply for asylum. It has focused on moving illegal aliens into the country at a faster pace. It has done everything to entice illegal immigrants to come to the country —  relaxing deportations, providing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aircraft-records-reveal-secret-migrant-flights-across-u-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">free flights</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-issues-over-300000-smartphones-with-tracking-devices-to-illegal-immigrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">phones</a>, and moving toward allowing hundreds of thousands of individuals to have the ability to <a href="https://www.wgbh.org/news/local/2023-09-21/biden-administration-speeds-up-work-permits-that-could-help-thousands-of-mass-migrants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legally work </a>in the U.S.

The message is clear for illegal aliens around the globe: It&#8217;s a good life in the U.S. if you can cross the border, and it will remain that way so long as Biden and his gang run the show. Get in while you can.
