Migrant welfare recipients called out for funding TERROR GROUPS overseas with taxpayer dollars | Blaze Media

Migrant welfare recipients called out for funding TERROR GROUPS overseas with taxpayer dollars | Blaze Media: 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is warning that the federal government is about to crack down on migrant welfare recipients who send money overseas — and BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales is shocked that it was ever allowed in the first place.

“And from now on, anyone who wires money out from one of these money service businesses has to check a box saying whether they are on public assistance. And if you are on public assistance, we are going to start pushing that you cannot wire money out of the country,” Bessent told Laura Ingraham on Fox News.

Homan doubles down on CHILLING warning: ‘Unhinged’

So, That's the REAL Story Behind Top DOJ Attorneys Leaving Amid the Minneapolis ICE Shooting

Every mainstream outlet is running with it following the January 7 incident where left-wing activist Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot - Matt Vespa

(via WaPo)

Multiple senior prosecutors in Washington and Minnesota are leaving their jobs amid turmoil over the Trump administration’s handling of the shooting death of a Minneapolis woman.
The departures include at least five prosecutors from the U.S. attorney’s office in Minneapolis, including the office’s second-in-command, according to emails obtained by The Washington Post and people familiar with the matter.

United States Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon said this was fake news...

“This is fake news,” Dhillon told The Daily Wire of the story. “No division employee quit.” 

Three people applied for early retirement the day before the shooting, which occurred on January 7 in Minneapolis, Dhillon said. 

Those three people gave notice weeks before the shooting took place, and the fourth person mentioned in the story put in for retirement in early December, over a month before the shooting took place.

Two of the other people that the MS Now story references have not resigned and are currently at their desks working, The Daily Wire has learned. While they have “apparently told the press they intend to resign,” Dhillon said, “our office has not received notice of any resignations.” 

My friend and fierce truth warrior @CaraCastronuova appears to be the only reporter on the Right willing to confront the lies told by Raskin and Pelosi’s pardoned J6 committee members.

Many times, she and I were the only reporters covering the J6 persecution.

Trump Wins 'Affordability': Rents Drop for Americans Because of ICE Deportations

Trump Wins 'Affordability': Rents Drop for Americans Because of ICE Deportations:

“Mass deportations = lower housing costs for Americans,” said the tweet after noting:

This Is Simply Terrifying

The Politics of Permissive Chaos - by Michael Smith

From immigration enforcement to urban crime, selective law enforcement overseen by unserious elected officials has become a tool of intimidation rather than governance. - Michael Smith

If it seems our civil society is a bit less civil these days, you are not wrong.

• What feels new is not simply a rise in crime—violent crime has fluctuated before—but the quality of the disorder and the brazen indifference to consequence that now accompanies it. 
• Increasingly, crimes are committed in full view of the public, often recorded on smartphones, with little apparent fear of law enforcement, prosecution, or social sanction...

And why does the entire democrat party agree with this indictment??!!-----Why Do They Try to Make Bad Things Cool?

If someone came up to you and said, "Hey, you're punctual, focused on achievement, prioritizing evidence over emotion, and determined to succeed on merit," you would probably reply, "Thanks!" -Kurt Schlichter

But that's not a compliment, at least not coming from the Left. 

• No, that's an indictment. 
• See, you are demonstrating "white supremacy." 

These characteristics, which built this country from a land of Stone Age savages into the greatest, most prosperous nation ever known, are, in fact, bad. 

• You know it because "white supremacy" is bad, and these things constitute "white supremacy."

So, why are they trying to make things that are bad seem awesome?..

Everyone is debating President Trump’s move on Venezuela.

But the real story isn’t drugs, terror, or oil for America. - Altas World News

• It’s energy leverage, China’s dependence, and the long game shaping global power.

Tales From a Left-Wing Campus: Conservative Icon Gives the Disturbing Reason Why He Quit Teaching

It's a problem that doesn't seem to be getting any better: the American education system. - Becky Noble

• Parents send their children off to school to learn how to read, write, do math, learn about science, and maybe even a bit of actual American history. 

But the education most are receiving, at the taxpayers' expense, is one of left-wing indoctrination. America is inherently bad; it is racist and imperialistic, men can become women, and make sure you use correct pronouns. 

Recently, one of the most respected voices in the conservative movement gave a graphic description of students who are receiving that "education."...

Notice Anything Regarding All These Angry, Miserable White Liberal Women?

With all the whining, ranting, and calls for violence, have you noticed one common theme regarding all the videos they post on social media? - Matt Vespa
They’re all alone. 

It’s befitting because normal people don’t want to be around this hot mess. 

One comedian had it right—these crazed women are screaming alone in their cars, at home, or wherever in these videos because none of them have any friends...
