More Latinos Than Ever Want a Border Wall, Mass Deportations.

The construction of a border wall between the United States and Mexico is now supported by nearly half of Latino voters, according to a new poll. Additionally, almost 40 percent of those same voters support deporting all illegal immigrants from the U.S.

According to the Axios-Ipsos survey, support for the border wall has jumped 12–points since December 2021, with 42 percent of Latino voters saying they now support the construction. The survey also — for the first time — asked Latino voters if they backed the president closing the U.S.-Mexico border if too many illegal immigrants were seen crossing into the country. Nearly two-thirds of respondents (64 percent) believed the president should have the authority to close the border.

Overall, immigration ranked as the third most important issue for Latino voters — behind crime and inflation. Over the past several months, polls have shown consistent weakness for President Joe Biden on all three issues — with voters overwhelmingly saying that former President Donald Trump is more capable of handling these problems.

Chris Jackson, senior vice president and pollster at Ipsos, said the survey “illustrates that some immigration hardline positions (are) incrementally more popular” among the Latino voter demographic. The data adds further credence to recent polls, which suggest Latino and Hispanic support for former President Donald Trump is growing because of his tougher stance on illegal immigration.

The National Pulse reported in late March that 74 percent of Hispanic voters backed using the term “Illegal” to describe Laken Riley’s murderer — Venezuelan national Jose Antonio Ibarra. A February Marist poll showed that nearly 60 percent of Hispanic voters disapprove of President Biden’s open border policies.

‘Not One Dollar!’ Trump Vows No More Funding for NPR After Editor Reveals Ingrained Bias.

Donald Trump has called for NPR to be defunded after Uri Berliner, a senior business editor at the state-funded broadcaster, revealed how anti-Trump bias and woke ideology have skewed its news coverage in recent years.

Berliner revealed that NPR journalists actively worked towards damaging or toppling Trump’s presidency, aligning themselves heavily with Representative Adam Schiff and the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory while burying news of Hunter Biden’s  “laptop from hell.”

“NO MORE FUNDING FOR NPR, A TOTAL SCAM!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“EDITOR SAID THEY HAVE NO REPUBLICANS, AND IS ONLY USED TO ‘DAMAGE TRUMP.’ THEY ARE A LIBERAL DISINFORMATION MACHINE,” he continued, adding: “NOT ONE DOLLAR!!!”

Berliner revealed that NPR was quick to dismiss the “lab leak” theory of Covid’s origins. He also revealed that staff were tasked with “identifying and ending systemic racism” — a woke conspiracy theory that holds ethnic minorities are being systematically oppressed in society to benefit white people.

NPR receives tens of millions of dollars in public funding, much of which is routed indirectly through local radio stations.

Muslim Migrant Murdered 70-Year-Old in the Name of Gaza.

Ahmed Alid, a 45-year-old asylum seeker living in taxpayer-funded accommodation in Britain, stabbed another asylum seeker who was converting to Christianity in the chest, then stabbed a random 70-year-old man to death in the street, in a show of support for Gaza following the Hamas terror raid on Israel on October 7.

Javed Nouri, the asylum seeker Alid stabbed at their shared accommodation in Hartlepool, England, survived the attack. He reported Alid shouted “Allahu Akbar!” as he struck, and that he had previously reported the extremist to housing managers and police, to no avail.

“Mr Nouri was a Muslim who had converted to Christianity, and the defendant would therefore have regarded him as an apostate or ‘murtad,’” prosecutors told Teesside Crown Court.

“[W]hen the defendant was interviewed by the police, he initially thought that he had killed both Mr Nouri and Mr Carney,” they continued, referring to the murdered senior citizen, Terence Carney.

“He said he had wanted to kill them because of the conflict in Gaza and to further his desire that Palestine would be free from the Zionists, by which he meant Israel.

“The defendant said he would have killed more people if he had been able to do so.”

Alid is also accused of assaulting two policewomen who interviewed him following his arrest for the stabbings.

Chicago Reports 57 Measles Cases in Migrant Shelters.

Chicago city officials have announced 57 “confirmed cases” of measles so far this year, primarily in its migrant shelters. In 2023, just 58 cases were reported across the entire country.

Of Chicago’s confirmed cases, 33 are in migrant children aged four or younger. Seven cases are in individuals aged five to 17, and adults aged 18 to 24 account for 16 cases. One case is in a person over 50. City officials have also warned that members of the public may have been exposed to the disease across the city’s public transit, various stores, clinics, and schools.

The increase in Chicago’s measles cases, mainly amongst sheltered illegal border crossers, has shown a surge compared to previous years. In 2022, a total of 121 cases were recorded countrywide. However, only two months into 2024, 41 cases have already been reported across 16 states, excluding the new Chicago cases.

Measles is a rare disease in the U.S. and has been considered eliminated since the year 2000. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have long maintained that the disease only appears when brought into the country from outside.

Alongside measles, a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak has also raised concerns, with the Chicago Department of Public Health recently reporting “a small number of cases” among new arrivals in several migrant shelters.

Last August, doctors warned that migrants crossing the border may be bringing with them tuberculosis and measles, both of which Chicago is currently grappling with in migrant shelters. Last month, it was reported that the U.S. was on the verge of a major measles outbreak due to conditions at migrant shelters.

UK Foreign Sec David Cameron DENIED Meeting with Speaker Johnson to Push Ukraine Aid.

Lord David Cameron, the British Foreign Secretary and former Prime Minister, did not meet Speaker Mike Johnson during a U.S. trip aimed at lobbying Congress to authorize more money for Ukraine.

The China-linked Briton, who recently returned to high office after his premiership was cut short by the Brexit referendum — which he lost — met with Donald Trump and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. He did not meet with Speaker Johnson, however, despite the Republican being the key player in whether or not a Senate bill authorizing tens of billions in further Ukraine aid can move forward.

Speaking alongside Secretary Blinken, Lord Cameron asserted, “We know, if we provide Ukrainians the support they deserve, they can win this war.”

Ahead of his trip, Cameron argued Republicans should approve more funding for Ukraine to prove “that borders matter, that aggression doesn’t pay, and that countries like Ukraine are free to choose their own future.”

It was a controversial stance for the former Prime Minister, who, along with Barack Obama, was a driving force in the NATO-led intervention in Libya in 2011, which turned the country into a failed state and platform for illegal immigration to Europe.

He also opposed Britain taking full control of its borders during the Brexit referendum in 2016, preferring that the country remain party to the European Union’s quasi-open borders Free Movement migration regime.

Cameron alienated many America First Republicans in February when he wrote an op-ed comparing politicians who do not support open-ended financial support for Ukraine to Adolf Hitler’s appeasers.

Americans Are Skipping Meals.

Americans are forgoing meals in order to be able to afford housing. According to a recent survey by the real estate platform Redfin, 20 percent of Americans said they have skipped on food to put money towards their rent or mortgage instead. Over a third of respondents said they sacrificed vacations in order to keep up with their housing payments.

“Housing has become so financially burdensome in America that some families can no longer afford other essentials, including food and medical care, and have been forced to make major sacrifices, work overtime and ask others for money so they can cover their monthly costs,” said Chen Zhao, Redfin’s economics research lead.

The survey indicates that elevated mortgage rates, reaching an all-time high of 8 percent last year, have burdened American homeowners and potential buyers. Despite a slight decrease, these rates remain around the 7 percent mark. As a consequence, the median monthly mortgage payment rose to $2,700, marking an increase of more than 9 percent compared to a year ago. This rise in mortgage rates deterred prospective buyers from property purchases, increasing demands in the rental market and subsequently driving rent prices up as well.

Redfin reports a need for American buyers to earn a minimum of $114,000 to afford a typical American home, a significant leap from the median household income. The survey further highlighted the generational difference in financial coping strategies, with 13.5 percent of millennials and over a quarter of baby boomers dipping into their retirement savings to manage housing costs.

The Redfin survey reveals the extent to which Americans are struggling to survive in an economy governed by Bidenomics.  The average rent for Americans has increased over 20 percent since Joe Biden took office.

Most Poles Oppose Involvement in Russia-Ukraine War.

Nearly three full quarters of Poles oppose Polish or any other NATO country’s forces engaging in the Russia-Ukraine war. Research by Statistics Poland (CBOS) reveals a clear sentiment among Poles, with 74.8 percent opposing military involvement. Only 10.2 percent advocate for such intervention.

This study follows French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments last month that Europe should consider deploying troops to Ukraine, a stance that received substantial pushback from European leaders who do not wish to drag their countries into a full-scale war with Russia.

The survey also revealed that while a vast majority of Poles oppose outright military intervention, 40 percent believe NATO should adopt a more stringent approach toward Russia due to its hostilities towards Ukraine. Almost an equal number — 37 percent — feel NATO’s reaction is appropriate, while 14 percent think NATO is overreacting in its response.

Poland, a NATO member since 1999, sees tremendous support for the Alliance, with over 90 percent approval. CBOS reports that in March 2022, following Russia’s attack on Ukraine, public support surged to an all-time high of 94 percent.

Poland, an important donor of aid to Ukraine and a refuge for millions of Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war, stands divided over Ukraine’s immediate NATO membership. A 2023 poll conducted by IBRiS found that 47.7 percent of Poles oppose Ukraine entering the alliance, with only 40 percent in favor.

The CBOS poll comes as NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg conceded that Ukraine may have to make concessions to Russia in order to bring about an end to the war. It also follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s admission that Ukraine is losing the war and faces defeat without further Western assistance.

Several J6 Defendants Granted Early Release.

The three January 6 defendants challenging their convictions under the broad application of The Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002’s “obstruction of an official proceeding” provision have been granted early release pending their appeal. In June, the United States Supreme Court is set to decide whether President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice overreached when broadly applying the 2002 financial regulatory law’s enhanced felonies to rioters at the U.S. Capitol.

Established in the wake of the Enron scandal, Sarbanes-Oxley ostensibly addresses crimes committed by individuals in the accounting and financial industries. The “obstruction of an official proceeding” provision was meant to apply to actions taken to cover up financial crimes — such as document destruction — in the course of a federal investigation. However, the vague language of the provision has allowed Biden’s DOJ to use it as a tool in prosecuting the January 6 defendants.

The Biden government’s use of Sarbanes-Oxley in the Capitol riot cases has thus far been upheld by 14 out of 15 federal trial judges overseeing the prosecutions. However, Judge Carl Nichols, who was appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump, has challenged the law’s application. Judge Nichols’s dissent from his colleagues could potentially sway the high court’s decision on the January 6 prosecutions.

The Supreme Court ruling could have a far-reaching effect beyond the three defendants who requested the appeal. More than 100 of the January 6 prosecutions are at least partially reliant on provisions in Sarbanes-Oxley, and any ruling by the high court narrowing the law’s scope could see most of these defendants released early. Additionally, DOJ special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump over his alleged role in the January 6 riots is – in part – built off of the 2002 financial crime law’s “obstruction of an official proceeding” provision.

A Major New Migrant Surge Is Coming. Here’s Why…

The anti-Western coup d’état in Niger last year is likely to drive further illegal immigration to Europe, the European Commission has warned.

Ylva Johansson, the Home Affairs Commissioner  on the European Union’s unelected executive, has confirmed the coup “could, of course, lead to a lot of new migrants coming in a very difficult and dangerous situation.”

Niger is one of several African countries in the Sahel region, running from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, where Russia-friendly military juntas have supplanted Western-leaning regimes. It has already revoked legislation aimed at slowing the flow of migrants towards Europe.

Agadez, a desert outpost from which outward migration was previously banned, has already filled with “caravans of pickup trucks” ready to transport migrants from West and Central Africa through the Sahara and into neighboring Libya.

From there, many will make the journey from the North African coast to Europe, often assisted by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating “rescue” ships that loiter in the area, waiting to collect migrants from smaller craft.

Judge Says Afghan Sex Offender Can Stay… BECAUSE He’s a Sex Offender.

A recent investigation discovered that an Afghan sex offender who “continues to act inappropriately towards females” was not deported because similar sex offending in Afghanistan could lead to “persecution.”

Despite being criminally convicted, the courts ruled the potentially dangerous Afghan should not be sent back to Afghanistan because acts such as public masturbation and “fondling of body parts” in his home country would put him “at high risk of physical violence from mob mentality.”

“[I]f he acts in the manner he has in the UK on return to Afghanistan… the ill treatment [he] is likely to experience will satisfy the definition of persecution,” a tribunal ruled.

The decision, issued before Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan plunged it fully into Taliban control, is not the first ruling centered on supposed “human rights” to put the British public in danger.

In 2020, Scottish judges ruled a Taliban fighter could not be deported because the previous Western-backed government was hostile to the terror organization, and he would be at risk of “persecution.”

He also argued he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of his experiences in the Taliban — potentially fighting against British and allied forces — with a judge agreeing he might receive insufficient treatment for the condition in his home country.

This individual, whose identity was protected by the courts, had previously failed six deportation appeals, but continued to receive public funding for further appeals until one of them stuck.
