Ron Vitiello, a longtime immigration enforcement official, reflected on the significant failures that took place under former President Joe Biden's administration during an exclusive interview with Blaze News senior politics editor Christopher Bedford on Thursday.
Vitiello has spent decades dedicated to protecting America's borders, most recently serving as acting director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during President Donald Trump's first term and now as a senior adviser to Customs and Border Protection during his second term. Witnessing the contrast in immigration policy across different administrations, Vitiello tells Bedford that having Trump back in office after Biden is like night and day.
"It's clear that during the Biden administration, uncontrolled border was their goal, right?" Vitiello told Bedford. "We had an invasion unlike we've seen before."

Trump Makes America Independent From The Climate Grift | The Daily Caller
KEVIN MOONEY: Do an internet search on “Trump and endangerment finding” or “EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and endangerment finding,” or some combination of the two, and a slew of faulty scientific claims will pop up compliments of green pressure groups and their allies in the media.
- The Environmental Defense Fund, for example, claims that “our health and safety” and the “quality of our everyday lives” are at stake if the Trump administration prevails in its deregulatory efforts.
- Other notable contributions to the histrionics come from legal activists with the Center for Biological Diversity who accuse the Trump administration of exercising “malice toward the planet.”
But what about the villainous human CO2 emissions, and the pending climate catastrophe?
In the age of Trump, well-credentialed scientists working in fields relevant to what drives warming and cooling trends are finding expression like they have never have before.

A key player here is the CO2 Coalition, which includes scientists and researchers from across the globe devoted to educating the public and policymakers about the benefits of CO2.
Not only is the naturally occurring substance not a pollutant, but it’s in fact the great elixir of life on Earth.
- The coalition has a long and copious list of “facts and data” highlighting the benefits of CO2 that do not fit in with the narrative of centralized planners in Washington D.C...
Brace Yourself: New Trump Scandal Could Be the Biggest of Them All! Robert Spencer
President Trump wore a blue suit, and this is very, very bad. If you take your cues from the establishment media, you should be outraged.
The evil man wore the evil suit at the pope’s funeral, where the Vatican’s dress code “requires men to wear a dark suit with a long black tie.” Trump wore a blue suit with a blue tie...
The evil man wore the evil suit at the pope’s funeral, where the Vatican’s dress code “requires men to wear a dark suit with a long black tie.” Trump wore a blue suit with a blue tie...
- Fortune ran a story entitled “The Vatican asked Pope Francis funeral attendees to wear all black. Trump wore a blue suit.”
- The Independent went with “Trump accused of Pope Francis funeral faux pas after ‘breaking dress code’ then leaving early.”
- The Wrap: “Donald Trump Roundly Criticized for Wearing Blue Suit to Pope Francis’ Funeral.”
Despite its fifth-paragraph admission that Trump’s suit was within the bounds of acceptable attire, the New York Times still thought it worthy of a story: “Trump’s Blue Suit at Pope’s Funeral Draws Attention.”...
Lawless governor issues guidelines to shield illegal aliens from ICE agents * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit
Lawless governor issues guidelines to shield illegal aliens from ICE agents * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit:
Democrats chose a hill to die on—they will defend the last violent, human-trafficking Central American gangbanger escape from ICE no matter what the cost.
According to documents leaked by conservative radio host Dan O'Donnell, a Department of Administration (DOA) memo dated April 18 lays out explicit steps for Wisconsin state workers to follow when ICE agents arrive at government buildings.
Instead of cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, employees are being told to stonewall — refuse to answer questions, deny access to files, and even demand agents leave if no attorney is available.

At 12:35 pm today local time, the lights went out across Spain and Portugal, and parts of France. - Michael Shellenberger@shellenberger 
Although power was quickly restored in France, it could take a week to fully restore power in Spain and Portugal.
In an instant, the electric hum of modern life — trains, hospitals, airports, phones, traffic lights, cash registers — fell silent.

- Tens of millions of people instantly plunged into chaos, confusion, and darkness.
- People got stuck in elevators.
- Subways stopped between stations.
- Gas stations couldn’t pump fuel.
- Grocery stores couldn’t process payments.
- Air traffic controllers scrambled as systems failed and planes were diverted.
- In hospitals, backup generators sputtered on, but in many cases could not meet full demand.
It was one of the largest peacetime blackouts Europe has ever seen.

Trump's Education Boss Exposes How Biden's Debt Forgiveness Was 'Massively' Profitable
Trump's Education Boss Exposes How Biden's Debt Forgiveness Was 'Massively' Profitable:
She pointed to their practices of “hiking tuition and piling up multibillion-dollar endowments.” Meanwhile, students “graduate six figures in the red.”
McMahon cited a 2015 study to back her claim. It found that “for every dollar of increased federal caps on subsidized loans, colleges raised tuition by 60 cents.”
She criticized universities for offering “worthless” degrees. “Colleges continue to accept students to these programs and encourage them to borrow to pay for them,” she wrote.
McMahon emphasized fairness in her approach.
Trump branded a tyrant, but did Obama outdo him on deportations? - Glenn Beck
MSNBC and CNN want you to think the president is a new Hitler launching another Holocaust.
But the actual deportation numbers are nowhere near what they claim. - Genaro Molina 
- Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews, in an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, compared Trump’s immigration policies to Adolf Hitler’s Holocaust...
- Symone Sanders took it a step further. The MSNBC host suggested that deporting gang-affiliated noncitizens is simply the first step toward deporting black Americans...
While the media cries “Hitler,” the numbers say otherwise.
And numbers don’t lie — the narrative does.
The real “deporter in chief” isn’t Trump.
The real “deporter in chief” isn’t Trump.
- It was President Bill Clinton, who sent back 12.3 million people during his presidency — 11.4 million returns and nearly 900,000 formal removals.
- President George W. Bush, likewise, presided over 10.3 million deportations — 8.3 million returns and two million removals.
- Even President Barack Obama, the progressive darling, oversaw 5.5 million deportations, including more than three million formal removals.
So how does Donald Trump stack up?
Between 2017 and 2021, Trump deported somewhere between 1.5 million and two million people — dramatically fewer than Obama, Bush, or Clinton.
In his current term so far, Trump has deported between 100,000 and 138,000 people.

Here's the proof: Trump makes good on promise to defend Christians | Blaze Media:
Shocking evidence to prove those allegations was presented at this week's meeting.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, for example, presented evidence of bias against Christian foreign service officers who homeschool their children. Rubio said the Biden administration threatened the officers with allegations of child abuse or IRS investigations if they insisted on homeschooling. He also said Christians in the Biden administration were discriminated against for opposing DEI and LGBTQ ideology, stigmatized for opposing the COVID-19 shot, and had their religious holidays downplayed while non-Christian holidays were openly celebrated.
Dr. Oz Uncovers Billions in Medicare and Medicaid Fraud, Waste, and Abuse: ‘If You Thought USAID was a Problem, This Will Bring a Little Shiver to You’ by Jim Hᴏft
Dr. Oz laid out a clear and urgent mission: protect the most vulnerable — not enrich bureaucrats, fraudsters, and corrupt insiders.

Among the jaw-dropping examples:
- $1 billion in Medicare funds went to individuals fraudulently registered in multiple states.
- $200 million spent on housekeeping services, unrelated to Medicaid’s core mission.
- $10 million diverted to student loan repayments, robbing funds from life-saving treatments like gene therapy for sickle cell anemia.
- $14 million squandered on DEI initiatives and labor union childcare benefits.
- 250,000 ineligible individuals registered in the marketplace, siphoning resources.

Obama-appointed judge demands discriminatory practices in schools continue * WorldNetDaily * by Jaryn Crouson, Daily Caller News Foundation:
The National Education Association (NEA) and the Center for Black Educator Development (CBED) filed the lawsuit against the Department of Education (ED) in March over the Feb. 14 memo reminding schools of their obligation to adhere to civil rights laws. The lawsuit claims ED's actions violate federal law by "directing or controlling schools' curricula," violate the First Amendment and are "arbitrary and capricious."
Morons gonna moron-----Famous British avant-garde singer Anohni Hegarty is about to visit the GBR – and is filled with fear and trepidation at what she will see.

Yes, the Auschwitz comparison is ludicrous, but her depression was caused by organisations we are supposed to be able to trust.
As with many actors and singers, Anohni can spice things up with her language – she says of coral bleaching: “when someone’s dying, they throw their life force into a final expression. That’s what coral bleaching is”.

The U.S. is “rapidly closing in on a very serious constitutional crisis” as judges and courts swoop in to halt the Trump agenda, Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily.
Van Orden said it is essential that Congress get these “out of control jurists back into the place where they understand that we are three co-equal branches of government, and they have just gotten completely out of control and politicized.”
America's have failed to teach ANYTHING of value!-----Trump targets public school disorder - Washington Examiner
“The greatest underreported story of the last five years is the abysmal state of behavior in American schools,” - Bethany Mandel 
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order this week aimed at reforming school discipline practices nationwide.
- The directive calls for schools to base disciplinary decisions strictly on student behavior without factoring in race or diversity, equity, and inclusion considerations.
While supporters say this builds community and promotes empathy, critics argue it has led to widespread disorder in classrooms.
“The greatest underreported story of the last five years is the abysmal state of behavior in American schools,” said Daniel Buck, an assistant principal at a Wisconsin charter school and senior visiting fellow at the Fordham Institute.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Buck described record-high rates of in-school fights, aggression, drug use, and disruption, conditions that, he says, leave teachers helpless and students unsafe...
