"The Biden administration is using Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas as a base to “secretly” transport illegal immigrants throughout the United States, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on Wednesday, citing leaked correspondence.
The Fox News host posted an image of an email, which appeared to be from Lt. Colonel Matthew Burrows, that alerted members of the base that “passenger aircraft” would be utilizing runways under the direction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.
“Over the next few days, weeks or months you may see passenger aircraft on our ramp transporting undocumented non-citizens,” the email read in part. “Please review the attached public affairs guidance on this issue.”...Read all.

Forget about Booting Biden - American Thinker "As the forensic audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, winds down, expectations are rising that the defects of the 2020 election will finally be addressed.
...Fixing the 2020 election requires going after the people who put Biden in office. ...To understand why, let's start with the Maricopa audit.
It can't prove fraud.
All it can do is show if the county conducted the election according to legal minimum standards.
Given the long list of Election Day "anomalies" and "irregularities," it's an easy bet that the audit will show that Maricopa Country failed to meet those standards. A failed audit is where the fun begins.
The Arizona state Legislature will have to conduct multiple investigations.
One to decide if negligence or fraud caused the failure.
A second investigation to decide how to prevent future failures.
Finally, if fraud is proven, multiple criminal investigations, arrests, and trials will have to take place...Read all.
"This is strange," D'Souza said, "because think about it, there have been a number of police shootings over the last couple of years. Can you think of a single case where the identity of the officer has been systematically concealed by the media? There's no such case. So in this one case, they are preventing people from knowing what I just told you. Why?" he pressed further.

Texas Democrats ran away this week instead of passing a commonsense voter integrity bill. If you don't know the lies being told about the bill, allow Joe Biden to clue you in. The Texas bill, like ANY voting law, is the "biggest threat to our democracy" since the Civil War. But that was just Democrats in the state House of Representatives, who will be arrested upon returning to the Lone Star State. The Texas Senate? They grabbed some BBQ, threw back a few Shiners, put on Josh Abbott Band's "Front Row Seat," and passed the bill anyway.

BLM attacked Boston Pride, a gay activist group that's been around for 50 years, claiming that they're too white.
Boston Pride responded by apologizing and disbanding its entire organization in shame.
Just fantastic stuff.
BLM just comes in and nukes its own allies for no discernible reason at all, and everyone on the Left is powerless to stop them or even voice an objection."
