Hey, what about Border Security?
House GOP unveils border bill as conservatives slam foreign aid measures
House GOP leaders on Wednesday introduced a new border security bill designed to appease conservatives who are up in arms that Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) foreign aid package excluded tougher measures to battle migration.Johnson announced Wednesday morning that he was plowing ahead with sending aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan despite outspoken opposition from hard-line Republicans, many of whom were incensed that his plan excluded border security.
For months, the Speaker had said that any assistance for Kyiv must be paired with legislation to address the situation at the southern border.
Speaker Johnson said that the border security bill would move under a separate procedural rule from the Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan measures.

Congress questions US funding for 'potentially dangerous' Chinese bird flu research
US and Chinese Scientists Are Working in China to Develop New Deadly Viruses
Lawmakers are demanding answers after it was revealed the US is sending taxpayer dollars to a Chinese army lab to make bird flu viruses more dangerous to people.Eighteen members of Congress are demanding answers from the Department of Agriculture (USDA) about the project, which was first revealed by DailyMail.com.
It is part of a $1million collaboration between the USDA and the CCP-run Chinese Academy of Sciences – the institution that oversees the Wuhan lab at the center of the Covid lab-leak theory.
The research involves infecting ducks and geese with different strains of viruses to make them more infectious, and studying the viruses’ potential to ‘jump into mammalian hosts,’ according to research documents obtained by the watchdog group White Coat Waste Project.

Israel fired a few drones this morning at Iran
Israel has carried out a military strike on Iran
a US official told CNN, a potentially dangerous escalation in a fast-widening Middle East conflict that Iranian officials have so far sought to play down. Israel has not commented and Iran has not identified the source of the attack.An Iranian official said air defenses intercepted three drones and that there were no reports of a missile attack. Iranian media reported that sites associated with Iran’s nuclear program were secure, and published footage of calm scenes in the areas where explosions were reported.
A handful of American politicians defended Israel's "right to defend itself," calling for the U.S. to "stand with Israel."
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital that Israel had a "right and obligation to respond" and blamed the recent attacks on President Biden's handling of foreign policy in the region.
"The scope of Israel's action tonight shows just how far Iran's reach has extended across the region. Iran's advances should worry every American, because when Iran's leaders chant 'Death to Israel' they also chant ‘Death to America,'" Cruz said.

Un-Equal Justice under Democrats
“Biden’s America: Pro-Lifers Face Harsher Sentences Than Pro-Abortion Fire-Bomber!
The concept of justice has always been tied to equal punishment for all convicted citizens, regardless of their political beliefs.However, under the Biden administration, this fundamental principle seems to have been forsaken in favor of selective prosecution based on political affiliations. Such a biased approach to criminal justice is incredibly concerning, as it can lead to a dangerous precedent of unequal treatment for different groups.
An example of this stark contrast in punishment can be seen in the potential sentences faced by a group of pro-life protesters and a man who firebombed the offices of a pro-life organization.
In May 2022, Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury firebombed the Wisconsin Family Action offices in response to a leaked Supreme Court ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson, causing a fire and leaving a threatening message. Despite this serious crime, Roychowdhury has now been sentenced to only 7 1/2 years in prison.
On the other hand, the pro-life protesters, who peacefully sang hymns and prayed outside an abortion clinic in Tennessee, potentially face up to 10 1/2 years in prison, a hefty fine, and years of supervised release. Their crime? Violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, which prohibits obstruction or intimidation of those seeking to obtain or perform an abortion.

Senate Kills Mayorkas’ Impeachment Without Trial
The first time in 225 years…
The Senate has dismissed both articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, eliminating any possibility of a trial. No surprise here!Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) argued a trial wasn't necessary because the House had sent over “the least legitimate, least substantive and most politicized impeachment trial ever in the history of the United States.”
“The charges brought against Secretary Mayorkas fail to meet the high standards of high crimes and misdemeanors. To validate this gross abuse by the House would be a grave mistake and could set a dangerous precedent for the future,” he warned.

Democrat Governor in Blue State pulls some devious crap
Governor Mills Allows National Popular Vote Legislation to Become Law Without Her Signature
A bill that would have Maine pledge its Electoral College votes based on the national popular vote for president cleared the state House of Representatives on Tuesday by the narrowest of margins, 73-72.Governor Janet Mills announced today that she will allow LD 1578, An Act to Adopt an Interstate Compact to Elect the President of the United States by National Popular Vote, to become law without her signature.
Under the legislation, Maine joins the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would only take effect if the coalition secures pledges for at least 270 electoral votes – the threshold needed to elect a president. Sixteen states and Washington, D.C. have joined the compact for a total of 205 electoral votes thus far. With Maine, the total of electoral votes increases to 209 – 61 short of the compact taking effect.
Republicans fiercely oppose it, describing the scheme as an end run around the U.S. Constitution.

Of course, this is just another devious Democrat ploy to abolish the Electoral College and a handful of states will control the election thus the winner.
Wikipedia: The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is an agreement among a group of U.S. states and the District of Columbia to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential ticket wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The compact is designed to ensure that the candidate who receives the most votes nationwide is elected president, and it would come into effect only when it would guarantee that outcome.
Introduced in 2006, as of April 2024 it has been adopted by seventeen states and the District of Columbia. These jurisdictions have 209 electoral votes, which is 39% of the Electoral College and 77% of the 270 votes needed to give the compact legal force.

Navy says it urgently needs $1 Billion in Munitions
Navy seeks urgent replenishment of $1B in munitions spent countering Iran-led attacks in Middle East
The Navy urgently needs Congress to pass a stalled national security spending plan to replenish the nearly $1 billion in munitions spent to counter attacks by Iran and its proxies in the Middle East in the past six months, the Navy secretary said Tuesday.Expenditures on munitions have skyrocketed since October, when the Hamas-Israeli war started in the Gaza Strip. U.S. forces continue to guard Navy and commercial ships in the Red Sea from Houthi rebel attacks, and American service members helped shoot down missiles launched over the weekend by Iran against Israel.
“It’s critical for Congress to pass a supplemental [spending bill] this week so that we could actually get the additional resources to be able to supplement those munitions,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said during testimony to a subpanel of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The Defense budget is $29 billion more than last year. China, Europe, and cheap drones all figure heavily in the new spending. The Navy has been firing SM-2 missiles, SM-6 missiles and most recently SM-3 missiles to counter the ballistic missile threat from Iran.
Closer to World War III due to Biden's appeasement
Biden’s Iran Appeasement Bringing Us Closer To War
The epic fail of Biden's doctrine vs. Iran – no consequences
Joe Biden needs to face reality: His policies of appeasing Iran while waging political warfare against Israel led the terrorist Mullahs in Tehran to conclude it could launch a massive attack on Israel and face no consequences.Iran's weekend attack against Israel was not symbolic or performative – it was an unprecedented and unacceptable act of war.
There's no other way to characterize the launch of 120 ballistic missiles, alongside 30 cruise missiles and 170 suicide drones, against a country the size of New Jersey – especially when the attack was committed by the state sponsor of terrorism already waging a multi-front proxy war against that democratic country.

Biden Lied, Big Time!
Democrats Turn their MASSIVE IRS Army on Middle Class Americans
After Promising to Go After “Only The Rich”
Well, don't people know by now that Democrats lie?In 2022 the Democrats handed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) an extra $80 billion to play with along with an army of more than 87,000 new “tax enforcement agents.”
At the time they claimed that they wouldn’t dare unleash this new supercharged IRS on regular old Middle Class Americans – but as it turns out, they lied!
In an attempt to make the effort to beef up the IRS more palatable at the time, leftist outlets like CNN and NPR claimed that the new agents would ONLY be sent after “the wealthiest Americans” such as those who were earning upwards of $400K yearly.
A recent audit of the agency revealed that the vast majority (63%) of all new IRS audit inquiries have been directed at middle-income earners who made less than $200,000.
