"The five women and six men were traveling as a group, and were nabbed on a bridge near San Luis, a border crossing point. Agents said the group had just crossed the border.
"Iran is a “special interest” country for border apprehensions because of its nexus to terrorism, though there was no mention of those concerns in relation to this group." . . .

Yes, Joe Biden is compromised by his family's shady foreign dealings
Not to be outdone, Joe Biden’s brother James and sister-in-law Sara cashed in as well, creating an international financial web that Politico a full year ago dubbed “Biden Inc.” Finally, and rather sickeningly, the new report shows multiple payments from Hunter to Russian and Eastern European women suspected of links to an “Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”
The Unspeakable Corruption of Joe Biden "The latest stories detailing the financial corruption of Joe Biden come as no shock to anyone with open eyes. But there is one story of the deepest kind of corruption that until today no one has told, or perhaps even realized — the kind of moral corruption that, once acknowledged, may haunt you.
"The latest revelation of Biden’s financial corruption comes from Hunter Biden’s former “business associate,” Tony Bobulinski.
"Last night, Bobulinski released a statement claiming that “the former vice president was a willing and eager participant in a family scheme to make millions of dollars by partnering with a shady Chinese Communist firm,” according to NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin and other news outlets who haven’t spent the last week studiously avoiding perhaps the biggest story of financial corruption in American presidential election history.
"Previously I’ve written that Joe Biden is a villain straight out of an Ayn Rand novel: A scheming mediocrity with no talent other than for gaming a crooked system.
"Despite the millions involved, and from sources as dubious as Communist China and Eastern European kleptocrats, a man’s willingness to grab some easy money when the grabbing is good… isn’t atypical.
"Sadly.
"But as far as I’m concerned, it’s the risks that Biden puts his own son through that reveal the true rot at the center of his character." . . .
"White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted a gay slur at Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham late 2020, a tweet from August shows.
“ 'Only in 2020 does #LadyG get to push a bunch of debunked conspiracy theories while questioning @SallyQYates (aka an American hero),” Psaki tweeted in August 2020, before she assumed her role in the White House.
"Psaki’s reference to “Lady G” refers to rumors that have circulated on social media about Graham’s sexuality. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation." . . .More here...
The Federalist "Blue checkmarks and Democrats took to Twitter on Thursday to condemn a call for violence against Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the people in his administration. The quote in question, however, was actually a call to violence against former President Donald Trump and his supporters from U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., that a Twitter troll account called “Cuomo Watch” satirically modified to say “Cuomo.”
“‘If you see anybody from the Cuomo Administration in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.’ -Maxine CuomoWatch,” the tweet reads.
Never Forget Maxine Waters Embraced the Thug Who Slammed Concrete on Reginald Denny’s Head "NEVER FORGET that Maxine Waters embraced Damien Williams, the infamous thug who hurled a chunk of concrete at truck driver Reginald Denny and performed a victory dance over this innocent man’s battered body. Maxine Waters even visited Damien Williams’ mother to offer her support.
"Williams was sent to prison on a single felony charge of mayhem, but when his accomplices got off, Waters joined in the celebration.
"Damien Williams was released a few years later and went on to murder somebody else. Also, no surprise, he was a member of the Crips." . . .

RedState "We’ve reported various aspects of the account of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) of what happened to her on Jan. 6 during the breach at the Capitol. But there are some very critical facts that have been missing from her story that I wanted to talk about here.
"The story, as it was initially related by AOC, suggested that she was about to be assassinated by rioters in her office in a video that has been viewed over 6 million times.
"So, basically, this story is about hyping the danger to the members and trying to say people still have to fear those inconsiderate uncaring police (even when they’re coming to help you). She’s even been called out by folks on the left for the effort to demonize the officer and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), as my colleague Sister Toldjah observed.
"But a few important things to note that seem to have been left out of this whole story.
"AOC wasn’t even in the Capitol building where all the action was going down. If she was in her office, she was in the Cannon Building which is nearby, but a different building. But of course, many didn’t get the logistics and just assumed that she was in the Capitol building.
"According to Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who has an office in the same hall as AOC, two doors away, there were never any rioters in their hall so there was never any physical danger from rioters coming in at any point." . . .
Video confirms AOC faked her crying incident at a border detention center "Previously, photos showing the freshman congresswoman crying and covering her face with her hand suggested she was reacting to the sight of inhumane treatment of migrant children by immigration authorities."

American Military News "On Sunday, a Russian Su-24 buzzed the USS Donald Cook (DDG 75), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, as the U.S. Navy ship transited the Black Sea. The Russian fighter jet flew a low pass within a couple hundred yards of the ship and the incident was caught on camera.
"The U.S. 6th Fleet shared video of the incident and tweeted, “The @USNavy routinely operates in the Black Sea to reassure @NATO Allies & partners and ensure security & stability in the region. Today, #USSDonaldCook operating in international waters in the #BlackSea while a #Russian SU-24 does a low pass nearby. #PowerForPeace.' ”
"Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, a former UC Berkeley professor, wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle that the Vermont senator’s choice of recycled wool mittens was integrated into her class discussion on US diversity and discrimination.
"Initially, on Inauguration Day, Seyer-Ochi said her class talked about the deeper meanings of the historic day — including “the vulnerability of democracy” and “the power of ritual” and gender.
"Sanders, the teacher said, was not even on their radar until he became an instant internet sensation for his mittens and brown parka.
" 'I puzzled and fumed as an individual as I strove to be my best possible teacher. What did I see? What did I think my students should see?” Seyer-Ochi wrote.
" 'A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.' ” . . .
Good grief!

"North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, a black Republican, is being compared to the Ku Klux Klan for opposing Marxist anti-white educational standards in the state legislature.
"Robinson is the first black Lt. Gov. in North Carolina history, but that is not stopping the Left from comparing him to a Klansman. WRAL published the offensive and racist editorial cartoon that shows what Democrats think of minorities who do not follow their orders: . . ."
Stationed at Camp Lejeune, N.C. in the late 50s, I still recall the "Whites only" signs at restaurants and even fast food windows. The state has come a long way but the left seems to still have some of the old Jim Crow left in it. TD
"If you’re a reporter with a tough question for the White House press secretary, Joe Biden’s staff wouldn’t mind knowing about it in advance.
"According to three sources with knowledge of the matter, as well as written communications reviewed by The Daily Beast, the new president’s communications staff have already on occasion probed reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when called upon during briefings." . . .
Biden doesn't trust his own lapdog press . . . "Three, and this might be most useful of all: Come in to the White House press briefing room and do the job normally. Everyone submit their written questions, but after the spin-show ice cream questions are answered, publish a list of all the actual questions submitted, the better to report the matter of which issues are being stonewalled. That would yield actual news to report upon, meaning, reporters doing their jobs. " . . .. . . Jen Psaki's GameStop answer about Janet Yellen's speech earnings from bigfoot banks and hedge funds, all summed up as Yellen being a female Treasury secretary is yet another. This is an administration that can't let questions be asked lest the truth get out. And that's disgusting.
. . . "Psaki also managed to ruffle more feathers in the briefing room Tuesday when she hit out at a Politico reporter accusing her of 'putting words in my mouth' over the White House's China strategy.
"This came after it emerged the press secretary has been trying to find out questions from reporters in advance of her press briefings in the two weeks since Joe Biden took office." . . .
White House press office screened reporter questions to Jen Psaki
. . . "An editor at Spectator USA, Amber Athey, who used to cover the White House for the Daily Caller, said she has never heard of reporters being questioned.
“The Trump administration certainly never asked me for questions in advance and I suspect there would have been universal outrage from reporters if they had done so,” Athey told Fox News.
"Conservative strategist Chris Barron said the practice would be “normal” in a “banana republic.”
“It’s absolutely unheard of in this country,” Barron told Fox News.

Discussed in a separate article titled the Biden Crime Family, the Post and Breitbart news revealed further information about a dubious Biden/China connection. More on this below.
"Joe Biden’s half century of public life has been pockmarked by dirty politics, betrayal of the public trust, and support across the board for what just societies abhor and don’t tolerate.
"A Biden presidency will give him a powerful platform for greater domestic and geopolitical damage than already.
"US forever wars by hot and other means will continue, perhaps escalating dangerously.
"Dem party politics exclude peace, stability, Medicare for all, a green new deal, and a livable minimum wage." . . .
"Since Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, religious leaders from major faiths have had to grapple with the administration’s stance on a range of issues, often resulting in a blend of hope and dismay, the AP reported.
"On issues like abortion, Biden has created angst amongst Roman Catholic Church and Southern Baptist Convention leaders, as the president has indicated strong support for abortion rights for women, according to the AP.
“It is deeply disturbing and tragic that any president would praise and commit to codifying a Supreme Court ruling that denies unborn children their most basic human and civil right,” Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas and Chair for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities told The Associated Press when asked about Biden’s abortion views.
"While unpopular with Catholics and Southern Baptists, Biden’s pro-choice stance is expected to draw support from mainline Protestant denominations as well as the Reform and Conservative branches of Judaism, the AP reported.
"Support of Roe v. Wade was an integral component of Biden’s wider agenda in 2020 on the campaign trail. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Banks Attempts To Block Biden From Undoing Trump Pro-Life Policy Despite Democratic Majority)
“ 'We need judges who will respect Roe v. Wade as the law, and we need a Congress that will protect reproductive rights,” Biden said in a March 2020 tweet." . . .
A closer look at the Church of Woke . . . "It's easy to make accusations and point fingers without any true regard for biblical foundations and practical implications. If a call to action lacks a true biblical foundation, all practical applications are moot, especially if the areas of concern lack specificity." . . .

Thomas Lifson "I suspect that regret already is setting in among his handlers over their pick of Kamala Harris for Joe Biden’s running mate. The first of what will be many clean-up efforts began yesterday for her bungling an incident 8 days in office. CNN reports:
The White House called Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin after Vice President Kamala Harris conducted interviews with West Virginia media, according to a person with knowledge of the conversation.
The outreach comes after Harris' apparent move to apply pressure on Manchin frustrated the conservative Democrat, something that he made clear over the weekend.
"The pressure VP Harris attempted to apply came in the form of an exclusive interview she granted to WSAZ TV in Huntington, WV. Curiously, I have been unable to locate a video clip on Rumble or YouTube or Twitter. Even WSAZ’s own website is not making available what has to be one of the most newsworthy broadcast moments in the station’s history.
"In the interview, Harris tried to pressure the popular former governor by speaking directly to his own constituents: . . ."
