During his entire first term, however, he removed about 1.2 million non-citizens. Even when these two totals are combined, they fall well short of the nearly 3 million deportations of the two-term Obama administration, multiple analyses of DHS data indicate. Furthermore, when removals and returns are combined, the president who expelled the most people out of the U.S. is another Democrat, Bill Clinton, according to DHS data analyzed by El Paso Matters.

Feel-good story of the day!-----Republic of Somaliland Asks U.S. to Extradite Ilhan Omar There to Face Justice

In fact, the Republic of Somaliland shared a fascinating X thread recently exposing Omar’s family for war crimes and fraud and illustrating why the government might wish to see her extradited to their country. - Catherine Salgado
After official confirmation that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) did, in fact, commit immigration fraud, the Republic of Somaliland — which has good reason to be bitter at the crimes of Omar and her Somali family — offered to be the hammer of justice if the United States would extradite Omar there...

Litkouhi exposed the plan in an October 30 op-ed in the Detroit News, revealing that school boards in Oakland County, Michigan were seeking to place an "Enhancement Millage" on the ballot as soon as August of 2026. The Board of Education censured her and removed her from all committees on Nov. 10 in apparent retaliation for the op-ed, according to The Midwesterner. "I want to speak directly to the board about Trustee Litkouhi. What Carol Beth Litkouhi did took courage, what I'm not seeing out of this board here today," James said when confronting the board. "School officials briefed you behind closed doors, handed you a message to sell a tax hike to voters, and told you to stay quiet."

'Malicious purposes': Democrat elections volunteer arrested for stealing sensitive computer equipment ahead of race barely won by Democrat in Trump's home district * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs

Just this week, 120 House Democrats delivered what they're calling the "Energy Bills Relief Act"—a slick name for a naked attempt to resurrect the  policies responsible for the worst gas prices in the history of this nation.

Their attempt to reinvent failure is not subtle. They watched Bidenomics crush American families with generational inflation and record-high energy costs the first time around, and now they want a second bite at the apple. This bill isn't about "relief." It's about forcing taxpayers to subsidize the same green-energy fantasies that spiked costs while ignoring abundant American resources.

‘Linguistic White Supremacy’: The Left’s New Crusade Against the English Language

The fringe lens of critical pedagogy has swallowed today’s academia. - Wenyuan Wu
Cue the perennial abuse of  “white supremacy.” 
The phrase’s original meaning of a belief system that White people are inherently superior to other races is now completely coopted with shapeshifting and ever-expanding connotations. 
  • Objectivity, a sense of urgency, perfectionism, and written words are characteristics of white supremacy culture. 
  • Getting married, like structural racism, bolsters white supremacy. 
  • Even soap dispensers perpetuate white supremacy.
  • The U.S. academia has now concocted an absurd proposition that speaking and writing proper English is a form of white supremacy...

BOMBSHELL DATA: In a Warming World, Rising Cold Deaths Outnumber Heat Deaths 12 to 1

A new paper published in Current Problems in Cardiology takes a detailed look at how temperature—both hot and cold—affects mortality across the United States.  - Anthony Watts

The most striking result is that cold weather remains by far the dominant temperature-related killer in the United States. 
The authors estimate that, on average, about

Veterans slam Democrat candidate for allegedly fudging military record | Blaze Media

Veterans are speaking out against Democrat congressional candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar for using his military career to amplify his campaign. Campa-Najjar allegedly referred to himself as a "Navy Officer" in his campaign materials, differing from his actual title of Navy Reserve officer. Because of this alleged discrepancy, Campa-Najjar's campaign has raised eyebrows, since Navy policy requires reservists running for office to accurately disclose their military status.

Exclusive | Scott Bessent launches crackdown on fraud after Somali scam scandal in Minnesota - James Franey
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is launching a new program on Monday that will reward tipsters with up to 30% of the fines imposed on criminals who are trying to bleed US taxpayers dry, The Post has learned.
  • The program includes tips for Medicaid and Medicare rip-offs — and given that fraud in those two programs tops some $70 billion per year according to one estimate, whistleblowers could be in for some big payouts.
  • Other forms of financial crimes are also included.
The move comes after Bessent visited Minnesota in January, which had become ground zero for a sprawling web of scams by Somali immigrants, who allegedly ripped off government welfare programs to the tune of at least $9 billion since 2018....

The environmental left will not admit what wind and solar destroy | Blaze Media

Several studies by biologists and ornithologists are raising alarms about the toll so-called eco-friendly technologies are taking on birds and other wildlife. Many researchers who support alternative energy in principle are dropping the pretense that wind and solar are benign.

The problem begins with energy density. To generate the same reliable electricity as a natural gas plant or nuclear facility, wind and solar require thousands of additional acres. That is not ideology. It is physics. Yet in the rush to satisfy arbitrary “net zero” targets, the environment supposedly being protected gets destroyed.

Trans Tide Is Turning: Idaho Criminalizes Trans Use of Incorrect Bathrooms in Private Businesses

Trans Tide Is Turning: Idaho Criminalizes Trans Use of Incorrect Bathrooms in Private Businesses

Idaho legislators on Friday gave final legislative approval to a bill that makes it a crime for a man to use bathrooms, locker rooms, or other such facilities set aside for women, even in private businesses.

The Idaho Senate approved the bill 28-7. The state House passed it last week, and Republican Gov. Brad Little is expected to sign the bill, according to The New York Times.

The legislation says it will be a crime for an individual of one “biological sex” to “knowingly and willfully” enter facilities “designated for the opposite” sex.

The Victory Option

There are two kinds of people: - Kurt Schlichter

The Victory Option encompasses the goal of the first kind of people because it ends the war, but ending the war is not the proper objective. 
The proper objective in any war is to win it. 
  • Anyone glancing at social media sees people with an absolute commitment to America’s defeat. 
  • And defeat comes about only if Donald Trump chooses to quit the war...

Stunning, even for a leftist Democrat: Take money from taxpayers and give it to illegals as 'reparations' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Stunning, even for a leftist Democrat: Take money from taxpayers and give it to illegals as 'reparations' * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

In a move that is stunning even for a leftist Democrat like Pramila Jayapal, she is demanding the government, which has no money of its own of course, take money from taxpayers and give it to illegal aliens. For being illegal aliens.

Scott Jennings reminded the CNN panel of the single most important takeaway:

Democrats care more about protecting illegals than protecting the American people.  - Overton@overton_news
JENNINGS: 
“We’re at war and we have the thing called Homeland Security closed.” 
“I know it was a long time ago, but let’s all go back and remember how this started.” 
  • Democrats don’t want to have any funding or enforcement of our immigration laws for this fiscal year.” “
  • This fiscal year, Department of Homeland Security has been shut down 50% of the time, highly irresponsible.” 
“And in both cases, it was Democrats, frankly, just throwing a fit, a fit about immigration.”...
