Texas takes on Biden: Border battle update, key takeaways from the 'Take Our Border Back' convoy | Blaze Media
Texas takes on Biden: Border battle update, key takeaways from the 'Take Our Border Back' convoy | Blaze Media:
Earlier this year, "Take Our Border Back," a coalition of freedom-loving Americans, formed a multi-state convoy that toured through the country, holding rallies along the journey to bring attention to the Biden administration's "wide open" border policies.
The group was relentlessly smeared by corporate media outlets who accused the concerned citizens of being "far right extremists," even claiming some participants may have ties to "militias." News outlets blasted the coalition for referring to themselves as "the army of God," warning others to stay away from the allegedly dangerous, so-called "Christian nationalists."
Despite the media's sensationalism and the group's concerns that agitators might infiltrate the convoy, the events were peaceful — exactly as its organizers had intended. After initially dominating the headlines, the convoy seemed to fade from the spotlight once it became too difficult for the media to spin the prayerful gatherings as anything menacing.
Why NYC's New Pizza Regulations Are 'Utter B.S.'
"Steve Forbes tears into a New York City regulation that would effectively ban coal- and wood-burning pizza ovens, calling the justification behind the new rules "preposterous" and simply a function of more clueless government meddling.

Climate bureaucrats giving China a free pass on its massive pollution - WND - by Around the Web
Climate bureaucrats giving China a free pass on its massive pollution - WND - by Around the Web:
China’s annual greenhouse gas emissions have soared over the past 20 years, dwarfing those of the U.S. But according to our progressive federal bureaucrats, America’s cumulative historical emissions are the problem and Beijing now deserves a free pass.
The federal government’s climate.gov site ostensibly provides “timely and authoritative scientific data and information about climate science, adaptation, and mitigation.” This mandate apparently includes trying to guilt Americans out of questioning progressive policies while the world’s second-largest economy emits greenhouse gases at an unparalleled level.
Opinion: Bus Lanes and Bike Paths as our Cities Crumble - Illinois Review
Opinion: Bus Lanes and Bike Paths as our Cities Crumble - Illinois Review - JOHN F. DI LEO"Reading a campaign speech in Milwaukee this week, Joe Biden boasted of a plan to spend some $36 million on a stretch of 6th Street, just west of downtown Milwaukee.
His speechwriter had him listing such federally funded benefits as bike lanes, newly planted trees, and bus lanes to make 6th Street a prettier place to be...
Now that the campaign cycle is fully engaged, Joe Biden is traveling throughout the country, reading speeches like this in big cities and small ones, offering the same goodies to everybody.
2. Ask any resident of Milwaukee – or, heck, any resident of any American city today – and they won’t list bike lanes, bus routes, or a lack of greenery among their top twenty problems...
3. And most important for at least some of us in flyover country, none of this is any of the federal government’s business in the first place...

Joe Biden Spikes Migration Yet Complains About Rising Rents
Joe Biden Spikes Migration Yet Complains About Rising Rents:
President Joe Biden is complaining “rents are too high” after he deliberately imported 10 million rent-spiking legal and illegal migrants into Americans’ neighborhoods.
The sudden, election-year complaint was posted on March 14 by Politico.com, which did not mention Biden’s decision to import millions of new immigrant-renters:

Scott Adams: Levels of Awareness in politics
Level 6 - You are dead because you know too much. Also known as Epstein Level.
- Level 1 - They believe what their preferred news say and do not sample other sources. Not aware of counter arguments. Not aware their news is mostly narrative.
- Level 2 - Sample news from multiple sources but believe only their own sources are accurate. Think the other side is all narrative, but familiar with all sides of issues.
- Level 3 - Aware that ALL news is fake, at least in the sense of missing context and spin. Also known as Gell-Mann Amnesia. But still believe the experts in various fields are usually correct.
- Level 4 - Understand that NONE of our experts are reliable. Some might be right, not none can be trusted without verification. The distortion of money makes no expert credible.
- Level 5 - They see the gears of the machine, Mike Benz style. The Republic no longer looks like whatever the Founders intended. The control of powerful billionaires and intelligence professionals is now obvious.
- Level 6 - You are dead because you know too much. Also known as Epstein Level.
Stunning! There Is Some Very Good News For Republicans

"...First and foremost, there is the massive change at the Republican National Committee with the firing of the utterly useless Ronna McDaniel and the elevation of Michael Whatley and Laura Trump...
- The organization has totally failed for seven years under the rule of the dumbest member of the Romney family.
- People like Red State’s own Jennifer van Laar and superlawyer Harmeet Dhillon would point out how she was wasting tons of money on useless fluff, donors would stop giving, and she would just continue wasting tons of money on useless fluff.
- She studiously ignored the grassroots and imagined that her role was to go on TV and talk about policy as if anyone cared what some party bureaucrat thought.
But now she’s gone, and good riddance...
Tyson Fires Americans, Plans To Hire 52,000 Migrants - Louder With Crowder
Tyson Fires Americans, Plans To Hire 52,000 Migrants - Louder With Crowder:
Chicken giant Tyson Foods decided to fire 1,200 Americans in its Perry, Iowa pork facility. Perry has a population of 7,929 people, which means that 15 percent of the population worked there to feed their families. Now, 15 percent of the population will be out of a job.
All that is bad enough. But what makes this so much worse is that Tyson has plans to hire 52,000 foreign nations, or as the media refers to them, “migrants.”

- But now we have Schumer insanely pandering to—what?—the Islamist sector of the Democratic base? Urging regime change in Israel?
- As Biden opens the border to the worst terrorists and criminals, and sends billions, hundreds of billions, to Russia and China and Iran—the new Axis, who makes it clear that their agenda is to destroy the U.S.?
Obama and Biden and the radical left whom they represent explicitly make clear that they agree with this Axis agenda.
And despise the political system and mission of the U.S...
